    First, let's start with the fact that I am most definitely a fan of South Block! I came to this location for the first time this week lol then came a second time the following day. Both times, the staff were kind and patient, the establishment was clean, and the ingredients were fresh and delicious. So far, I've only tried the loaded PBJ açaí bowl which is just what my taste buds always desires, which totals about $13. Overall, there are absolutely no complaints in my book. I will be back

    I ordered the warrior bowl from the mobile app and the pickup process was easy. They have a dedicated section for pickup and you can just go straight to get it! The app looks a bit outdated though. The acai bowl was super refreshing on a summer day. It had plenty of fruits and the bowl was pretty sweet. I am not sure if this acai bowl is the healthiest options as I had healthier tasting acai bowls, but its still good!!!! Would definitely come back if I want something cooling and refreshing!!

    I am excited that we have a great option for açaí bowls! I was finally able to try two bowls (aloha and warrior). The bowls are large in size so I would suggest the half size if you're not super hungry. I started off by scanning the menu before ordering and when trying to see the full description of the bowls, the app led me to ordering without showing the complete description. Not the end of the world, so just a note that you may have to inquire if you're unsure about what's all included in the bowl. The staff was super great and helpful in telling me what's actually fruit topping vs. what fruit was used in the base. For example, one of the bowls included bananas. I am not a fan of bananas as a fruit topping, but I learned that they were instead used in the base (which I was A-OK with)! After ordering, the bowls came out pretty, full, and quickly! They offer honey and chia seeds as an additional topping for free on the counter. The space was clean, bright, and large enough for the type of business. Overall, this is a great option for açaí bowls and smoothies. I was not able to try a smoothie yet, so looking forward to those on my next visit!

    VERY excited for South Block to be in the neighborhood. I am an acai bowl addict and I used to have to go to Vienna to get my fix. So I was beyond thrilled that they just opened in Chantilly. My favorite açaí bowl is the PBJ Bowl. It contains acai, peanut butter, bananas, blueberries, and almond milk. You can customize your toppings that includes: organic granola, blueberries, and bananas. Their granola is vegan and gluten free! Besides acai bowls; they offer smoothies, smoothie bowls, juices and toasts. I ordered thru the app and pick up time was 15- 20 minutes. You go to the pick up counter and find your order there. The space was bright and clean. I was greeted warmly by the staff. Will be coming back here for my acai bowl fix from now on!

    Hello to the neighborhood, South Block! South Block is a local chain offering a variety of healthy-forward food/drinks such as açaí bowls, smoothies, toasts, and juices. They recently opened their newest location in the Fields at Commonwealth in Chantilly. You can enjoy a variety of açaí bowls with toppings ranging from granola to fresh fruit (such as strawberry, blueberry, and bananas). If you're in the mood for a pick me up, you can also get a juice shot. Everything tasted fresh here-- from the açaí smoothie base to the fruit toppings. The interior also has a really cool design with lots of room to hang out. There's lots of parking nearby and it's conveniently located to other shopping such as Wegmans.

    This has been my lunch and dinner for the past 2 days . Sad i know but it's DELICIOUS! I love making my own bowl and also love the loaded PBJ. Got these uber eats in and they are always so yummy and fill me up through out the day. I bought a bowl for lunch and ate half for lunch half for dinner because the bowl was so full and they are super generous with their toppings as well. The acai loaded pbj was sweet but not too sweet and the green bowl have ginger in them. Personally, I would pick the loaded pbj bowl again over the green bowl only because I don't like ginger. you can add additional toppings for additional charge but in my opinion, no need because it's always filled to the top. Chia seeds and raw honey are always free of charge. 100% would order here again!

    f you're looking for a place where you'll be greeted with a smile and people actually know your name, South Block is it! I'm a frequent customer, and every time I visit, the team--especially Christina and T--makes me feel genuinely welcome. They remember my order, my preferences, and always go above and beyond to make me feel like a friend. It's truly the best customer experience I've ever had. Highly recommend

    The food is so amazing and scrumptious! I love how their açaí is made from scratch. The service is very good and the employees are always so nice! The environment it always welcoming and cute.

    Soooooo happy you came to chantilly! I always feel energized and full after going to southblock! I have been so many times since the opening in June!

    I'm thrilled to not have to travel to Vienna for my smoothie bowl fix now that Chantilly is open! I'm a big fan of the warrior bowl but I am still working on figuring out my favorite smoothie combination. My order took a little bit longer to be completed but that might be due to the newness of the staff and location. Note: the app stops taking orders 15 min prior to closing.

    Love love love South Block on a hot day. Nothing better than cooling off with some fresh fruit and Acai! Obsessed with the proximity of this new location. I know where I'll be spending most of my days! This location is already on top of things too, placed an order online and it was ready by the time I arrived. I was very pleased with the ease of ordering, wait time, and overall freshness/flavor of my bowl.

    The new South Block in the Chantilly area had our family on our feet and straight through the front door. We've been to the Vienna and DC locations. The warrior bowl is my go to açaí bowl from the South Block menu. The bowls are a great size (not too small and not too big). Love the open space and the wall art.

    I love South Block! The staff are always so friendly and my bowl always delicious! Christina and Ossamah helped me at my last visit and were amazing! They really made my day. Thanks.

The quesadillas were mushy and tasteless. There was barely any chicken. I had other issues with this location as well. Even though they have a sign that says you can combine a smoothie with a meal for a discount, they refused to help me when I placed an order online. The order did not give me the discount so I asked about it when I got there, and the crew refused to help. They just told me to call an 800 number. The final issue was with their new offer of boba to a smoothie for a pretty steep price of $1.49. Even so, we ordered two of them. Got them home. No boba whatsoever. So there is $3 more wasted in exchange for nothing. So, no help at the store with a pricing issue, no boba even though got charged for it, and the food was sub-par. I did contact corporate and they told me this location refused to issue any refunds, although they (corporate) were willing to give me a $25 gift card for my troubles. So, thank you Tropical Smoothie Corporate, and boo on you Centreville. I will take my business to a different Tropical Smoothie in the area - there are plenty to choose from. Just because you are a franchise doesn't mean you can't extend customer service to your local customers.

It gave "homemade lunch" vibes more than "restaurant dish." I tried two smoothies -- the acai one was actually really good, but the green smoothie (I think it was called Island Green or something like that?) was rough. It literally tasted like someone blended up fresh-cut grass and ice. It was super unfortunate. Their menu does have a lot of variety, which I appreciated, but overall it feels a little overpriced for the quality. The service was decent though -- the staff gave a good recommendation and were kind. The best part was definitely the ambiance. The place had cute Halloween decorations and even a little Minion sitting out, which made the space feel fun and welcoming. Overall, I'd give it a solid three stars -- not bad, but not sure I'd rush back unless they tweak those smoothies.

Our waiter was friendly, helpful, and pleasant to interact with, but overall the service was slow and inattentive. I'm not sure if he was covering multiple sections, but we visited on a Friday morning when the restaurant appeared to be about 65-75% full, so it didn't seem overwhelmed. Chicken & Waffles - Overall, a tasty dish. The chicken was flavorful, and the waffle was well prepared. My main critique is the ratio. There was significantly more waffle than chicken--roughly a 5:8 ratio. Personally, I prefer a 1:1 chicken-to-waffle ratio so that every bite has the perfect balance. Good meal, but the portion balance could be improved. Raspberry Latte - The highlight of the visit. The raspberry flavor complemented the coffee perfectly without being overpowering. It was smooth, well-balanced, and something I would absolutely order again. Why Not Five Stars? - The slow service. We noticed several tables in our section experiencing the same issue. One outdoor table waited a long time for drinks and didn't receive their food until we were halfway through our meal, despite arriving before us. Pro Tip: There is plenty of parking behind the restaurant, which makes visiting easy. After your meal, take some time to walk around the town. It's charming, pedestrian-friendly, and worth exploring.

I had been told what a great spot this was for breakfast and lunch by so many people, so when a friend invited me, I couldn't wait to try it out. Since then, I've organized a few brunches with friends, and we have never been disappointed. The menu is absolutely HUGE, both for food options and beverages. Whether you are looking for a savory crepe with coffee or avocado toast with a mimosa bucket, you can get it all here. I could probably dine here every morning for a year and get something different every time! There's plenty of seating inside and outside the restaurant, and dogs are welcome for outdoor seating. (When my friend brought a frenchie she was petsitting, several employees asked if we needed water or other items for her!) There are also umbrellas for the outdoor tables for sunny mornings. I've received great recommendations from my servers, and they are knowledgeable about their extensive menu. Even when we've had complicated orders, everything has always been perfect, and I've enjoyed my experience every time. I look forward to many delicious visits to Clifton Cafe in the future!

The rice however; they claim it's coconut rice but it is Not. it's just plain white rice. They could make the rice a little more firmer but it was still alright. The jerk chicken had just the right amount of spices but could've used a little more salt/seasonings. The cabbage however was delicious. And honestly you can't mess up plantains so those were good. They packed our delivery nicely, food did not spill, and they gave us plenty of utensils. Processing and delivery (from a delivery app) were really fast it got here in less than 20 mins. it wasn't really good and definitely not bad. if you're cutting back on sodium & seasonings you'll like it a lot. i loved how tender the oxtails were, they just need to thicken the stew for it a little bit. For the price of the oxtail meal i expected more spizazzz in the sauce. the portion was good, but i expected more out of the soup base. and same goes for the jerk chicken. the soup base should be thickened a little. anyways; they just opened and there's still room for improvement. i'll try them again in a few months and hopefully i can update my review for the better.
