    Boost Juice
    Katie S.

    I love South Block, and consider myself to be a loyal, regularly returning customer. It's a bit pricy, but I've almost always felt the cost was justified. I'd consider it to be a "treat-yourself" kind of place. Today I tried the Boost Juice for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was!

    South Block is a great acai place in Arlington. I had the Nutella bowl made gluten free. I do wish the acai was a little sweeter but it was good.

    Amazing the açaí bowl was delicious and I loved it worth every cent and will be coming back again

    Super green smoothie and warrior bowl

    My friend insisted on getting an acai bowl out of nowhere even though she's never had one before. There's smoothie places around the area, but not all of them have acai. So we stumbled into South Block. My friend got the warrior bowl. It was a bit too sweet in my opinion. I got the super green smoothie. I'm surprised the kiosk had almond milk as a potential substitute for pineapple juice. I never thought of them as alternatives to each other. I didn't want my smoothie to be too sweet and I wanted the protein and fat in it. I think the end result was a bit weird when you mix kale and spinach with almond milk, but it wasn't weird in an unpleasant way. I was also surprised to see the kiosk offer ginger as an optional add on for this smoothie. Again, it's something I wouldn't have thought of requesting myself. I've always been told it's good to add ginger to raw foods to reduce the "coldness", so I clicked yes here. I don't think I taste the ginger in the smoothie, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that it's in there. I appreciate how they have chia seeds and honey for you to add on the side. They fill up the bowl/cup up to the rim for everyone, so not sure how people are expected to have space to add things lol (that's a good trait).

    Service- took over 10 mins for an order so don't come here if you are in a rush like me to catch my flight. I came to this location because it is near the airport, however, parking is a bit difficult unless you want to pay a hefty price. However, the delicious bowl was worth the wait and I'm glad I waited to get it! They make each bowl fresh and you can customize or add as many toppings as you want! Although the indoor area was a bit small, the outdoor area was pleasant to chill and eat my tasty bowl!! I'll be back next time I'm in the area to try the other fruit bases/bowls!

    Second time here. First time I got a kids strawberry banana smoothie. That was pretty good. This time around I got a detox juice and a recovery shot. I'm a sucker for those shooters. You can order ahead of time and they keep it in the fridge for grab and go. Overall a great place and quick service.

    First time trying South Block and it was yummy!! Everything on the menu looked great. I had the Green Bowl and added pineapple, agave and raw honey. Perfect for a sweet treat break after a summer weather stroll in the city The wait wasn't too bad either! I enjoyed that there was plenty of seating; perfect for catching up with a friend!

    You can never go wrong with South Block, who hasn't yet to fall in love with their açai bowls and smoothies?!

    I love the kiosk! Smoothie on point and area a vibe. Staff was friendly. I love the option of a mini smoothie- was all I needed

    I can't even gather the words to write this review for what I just put these ladies through I had a hard time ordering and they were so sweet, patient, and kind the entire time! Her name was Minja and even while training someone she did awesome. Customer service is top tier I will definitely be back and be better about ordering next time.

    Super green smoothie

    Super chill spot that makes a great green smoothie! The service is always so kind and quick. And the prices are reasonable! Highly recommend for a quick pick up or as a place to chill and chat!

    Magic dragon bowl
    Kerri C.

    I went to South Block for the first time for lunch last week, and was pleasantly surprised by the Magic Dragon Bowl! I'll be honest- I didn't expect to be full for the rest of the day, but I was. Not to mention the flavors were amazing and it was beautiful to look at! It's a bit pricy, but worth it. I cannot wait to return.

    Aqua bowl
    Sammy M.

    Açaí bowls are my absolutely favorite!!!! I grew up eating it in Brazil, and missed it so much after I moved to the United States, because I couldn't find it anywhere... I was so freaking excited when I heard about South Block! As soon as I heard, they had Açaí bowls I ran to grab one and oh my God it did not disappoint, it is different from the one you get in Brazil but I love it, the aqua bowl is my favorite with the coconut shred, strawberries, blueberries and granola on top, my favorite blend is either coconut water or almond milk. I could have one every single day and not get tired of it so glad this place exist! Delicious and nutritious!!

About that $23 salad: The portion is a little skeet (that's an STL term - look it up) but the chicken was honestly juicy and flavorful as hell. And, the salad was full of very fresh spinach, and maybe other greens, as well as a good dressing. They provided a healthy amount of shaved Parmesan, which is my favorite. I would definitely order this again if I knew I was going to be around for a while and really wanted a salad. The vibe inside is so cute. This particular location is huge and there are various types of seating available. They have Wi-Fi, which is helpful., and some of their furniture is super comfy. It is the perfect place to connect or reconnect with a friend. I have never been much of a coffee shop, girl, but I could definitely see myself coming here multiple times a week. Service was good. I didn't interact with them much because all I did was order from a little QR code at my table and they dropped it off, but when observing them interacting with other customers, they seemed nice For the size of this place and people coming in and out, it was surprisingly clean, too. I didn't check the bathrooms out, but parking outside was paid but easy.

    Friend told me to have low expectations for coffee in Virginia lol…read more The vanilla latte ($0.60 charge for flavored syrup) did not taste like vanilla for some reason. The corn waffles were really soft and flavorless, I was hoping for crispier or chewier waffles but what I got was mushy and flat? The plus is they gave ample seating inside for working and hanging out.

She seemed to act as though our simple questions about what to order and what's popular in the menu was an inconvenience to her, although we indicated it was our first time at the restaurant. We ordered our food with the host/cashier and waited at our table for the food to be delivered. My companion's food was delivered and the server asked us if there was anything else. I said my food hadn't come and she asked me what I ordered. I told her it was the Greek goddess. I had to wait quite a long time for my meal to arrive and when it did, the server placed the plate on the table, grabbed the table number and walked away.No apology for the extended wait, no, "enjoy your meal." It was quite rude. The Greek goddess was pretty bland and my friend's soup was boring. The Falafel pita was ok. We have lots of options for lunch in Washington DC. I will not return to this establishment, ever.

    Delicious coffee!! Will definitely be back for more!! Nice alternative to Starbucks. Hoping to try…read moresome of their treats/food next visit.

    I am currently in town for business & walk to your store every day for a cup of coffee…read more I am reaching out regarding an experience I had at your store today, September 21, at approximately 4:30 p.m. I sincerely hope the store has cameras that can help verify what occurred. When I entered the store, I attempted to order a large black coffee. The young lady working, whom I believe was named Tracy, appeared to be more focused on entertaining and talking with a male patron than assisting customers. When I asked for a black coffee, she told me, "We've already cleaned our machines." I asked, "So you're not making any more coffee?" and she responded, "No." I pointed out that the posted closing time was 6:00 p.m. and that it was only 4:30 p.m. Her response was that they had been slow. I found it very concerning that a customer would be refused a basic menu item an hour and a half before the store's posted closing time simply because business had been slow and the equipment had already been cleaned. I then approached another employee, whom I believe was named Am, and asked for the manager's contact information. He explained that he did not have it but immediately asked if everything was okay. After I explained what had happened, Am stepped in without hesitation. He asked what kind of coffee I wanted, went over and made it for me, and apologized for my experience. When I attempted to pay for the coffee, Am would not allow me to do so. His professionalism, kindness, and willingness to correct a situation he did not create completely changed my experience. I am bringing this matter to the owner's attention because I believe the original interaction needs to be addressed. At the same time, I strongly believe Am deserves to be recognized. He demonstrated exactly what good customer service should look like--he listened, took ownership of the situation, resolved the issue, and made sure I left feeling valued as a customer. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak directly with the owner or manager regarding this experience. I also hope the appropriate recognition is given to Am for going above and beyond. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
