I wish I knew what the food tasted like. I moved in down the street from this establishment and I was so excited for a place nearby that I could get smoothies and bowls on my way to work. The hours on the door say they open at 9am, so the four times I've tried to stop by, I've gotten there at around 9:15-9:30am only to find that the place is NOT OPEN YET. It made me really angry that I made time to stop there, only to have it not be open when they said they would. If this happened once, I would say okay... maybe there was an emergency or they were just running late. However, this morning was the fourth time that this has happened. Management- if you are reading this, can you either change your opening time to properly reflect when you are actually opening, or simply actually open when you say you will? Very disappointed. read more

Service was slow. I ordered before my friend and didn't get my food until way after her.

Literally the slowest place I've been too. Do not waste your time at this location, I've never had a good experience here. Go to the falls church south block and save your time. read more

I've always loved south block's pbj bowl. But this south block is located in a cool music venue with a coffee bar right next to it. I had a bowl and an americano while nice alternative Music was playing. Really enjoyed my experience read more

Thier granola is like gold. So gooood! Acai bowls are a bit expensive but they're worth it. I make them at home and I can see why acai places charge what they price them out to be. The Nutella bowl is so addicting. read more

I've been to this location many times and this is the first time I've ever had a problem. My friend and I came in this afternoon and ordered acai bowls. After paying $13 (I asked for extra peanut butter on top), we were extremely displeased with what was presented to us. My friend's bowl wasn't even filled up all the way! Peanut butter was smeared on the side of the container. It looked awful. I couldn't believe how bad the presentation was! If this is the way they are going to be presented, I suggest you lower the prices. $13 for half a bowl of fruit. Ridiculous. Please do better. (Ps...the pictures were taken before us touching the bowls.) read more

South Block - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

See all

The Vienna South Block location is actually located in Jammin Java which is a cool place to hangout when in the mood for local music. Free parking in the front of storefront, which can be competitive in the plaza. The backstreets are your friend if you travel in the mornings as Maple Ave can have an heavy traffic flow. This location offers kombucha on tap, which is pretty tasty. When I can not travel into Arlington and East Falls Church locations, we will be sure to rock and juice here. read more

Love the addition of South Block at Jammin Java. Acai bowls, coffee and music.....what more could a person ask for? The vibe and decoration is relaxing. Great music too! Wish they were in Shirlington! read more

It tastes a-mazing. I love how much granola they give me. Sad boiii hours because there aren't any close ones near my house. Only downside was they literally took 20 min to make mine. read more

South Block - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Love this place! Just discovered it and was blown away. The Loaded toast was out of this world, and the bowls full of fresh fruit, phenomenal! read more

Smallest cup of coffee for $4.36 and because they had 2 people working it took 10 minutes to get it...never again. I was informed after I received my coffee that they only offer one size even though the menu on the wall still lists two sizes. Had I known, I would have gone to Peet's across the street. read more

This is by far the best açaí bowl I have ever had! It was extremely delicious and I loved all the flavor and fruit they had!

Good food. Nice staff. Very weird looking dark cold place. I love the Arlington location. Not a fan of this one. They need to move into a better space. If you're taking to go it's fine. But most people eat it there and it's just so none feng shui read more

The absolute best place for açaí bowls. The Nutella bowl is my favorite. The only complaint I have is their hours. Why can't I have an açaí bowl at 6:00pm?! Other than that this place is great! read more

no açaí bowl will every beat South Block's. my favorite is the Nutella bowl w/ PB blended in! + their coffee is great! Its worth it to order ahead on the app though, because sometimes the in-store wait can be lengthy read more

I came in search for healthy juices or açaí bowls. I wanted to substitute the fruit in my axial bowl and they were super accommodating. I got the PJ bowl. Limited bananas and added strawberries. SO good. Def the best açaí bowl I've had. read more

Tony is exceptional! He was educated on the product knowledge and his customer service was wonderful! He's a keeper and must for the environment and brand! read more

Such a wonderful place! The bowls and smoothies are delicious and worth it! The team is so cheerful and energetic, and creates such a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a must-go-to location if you're nearby. read more

South Block is my go-to Açaí bowl place! They never disappoint. I highly recommend the Aqua bowl! I also really appreciate the fact that you can order your drinks or bowls online, track the making process, and pay all in one go! Then head right on in and pick up your order. That is very convenient for people always on the go like myself or even for people who do not wish to wait in line. read more

Love açaí bowls and southblock in general, but the people who work at this one specifically, more often than not, have no clue what they're doing. I go there once a week, and every time I order the same thing. When I first started going there I would ask for no bananas or granola since I'm allergic, and there were various instances where they would still put this ingredients in my açaí bowl. This could potentially be a detrimental mistake if someone is deathly allergic. I highly suggest that southblock employees at this southblock location, be better trained. Because of these issues, I have had to resort to ordering online. It seems like a good thing, and it can be quicker, but even if an açaí bowl is in the fridge it is still melted for the most part by the time I arrive. read more

Went in person to order - probably first mistake. Took over 15 mins to get food. Food tasted good but they were flooded with online orders and I got bumped to the back. Wish it was faster. read more

This South Block is located in the front of the store as you walk in, with Jammin' Java in the back. They have limited hours and the menu is pretty small compared to the Arlington and Falls Church locations, e.g., they only had 3 bowl choices when I went. I ordered the Warrior Bowl and the cashier/barista/smoothie guy was both efficient and super nice. Fresh ingredients and a nice hefty portion. I live closer to the FC location, but given that the Vienna location has a dedicated parking lot and awesome customer service, I think I will continue to visit here! Note: I immediately received a "rewards" email from SB despite not giving them my email or being asked to sign up. Creepy, right? Apparently, it's taken directly from the credit card chip and the account holder is automatically emailed.... So, minus one star for the limited hours/menu and privacy intrusion, but still a good spot for a quick lunch or afternoon smoothie. read more

Simply amazing and worth the drive from Maryland! The Warrior Bowl was delicious! The Acai was blended with bananas, strawberries and pineapple juice and topped with Granola, fresh strawberries, blueberries and bananas. The fruit was sweet and perfectly ripe. I'll be back! read more

South Block - Warrior Bowl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

I loved this place. I came across their pictures on instagram and have had it bookmarked for over a month. The location is a little confusing and I was super agitated that when I called the number they said that they are no longer taking calls. I truly believe all businesses should have somebody answer the phone. I had to park my car, walk around and ask some locals for the exact location. I finally found it and it was situated in a place called jammin java? Apparently, it is a place for local artists to sing from what I recall. I ordered the warrior bowl and added coconut and almond butter. It was DELICIOUS. I have been dying to try an acai bowl and this really didn't disappoint. The granola was the best I have ever had and I don't even like granola so that is saying a lot. The acai mixture was not overly sweet and everything just tasted so fresh. I also sampled one of their fresh juices and it was unreal. I would definitely go back to try their stuff. Big thumbs up from me. read more

Great smoothie bowls! I have had the nutella bowl and the PB&J bowl and both were delicious. They are healthy, filling, and gluten free! It has a fun atmosphere and if you are there during a jammin java show, there is live music. I recommend popping into South Block for a refreshing healthy treat! read more

Never had a chance to see how the smoothies etc were because the guy who seemed be running the store at the time was a real jerk. I asked him a few questions politely and he had an attitude from the start - appeared to have a big chip on his shoulder about Jammin Java and how they are completely separated from them in every way. Not sure how a customer is supposed to know that their 1st time there since both establishments are within the same 4 walls, and it appeared to be a partnership of businesses. Anyway, good luck. And if you are the manager trying to discern who the rude employee was, he was a taller, built guy. Quick to wave his arms. read more

The smoothies are great, but waiting for 10 minutes when I'm the only one in the store seems a bit absurd. They say they're open at 9 but you can't get service before 9:15 read more

It's a really rad place the feel is good and their acai bowls are really good I had the California bowl and I also ordered a chocolate cappuccino. The cappuccino was bland and not sweet thinking I would taste chocolate but it tasted like a regular cappuccino. There wasn't a good choice of seating and the service was poor, no connection to customers whatsoever. They seemed like it's a drag to be there so that's how it felt while I was there. The bowl was delicious I gotta give them that. read more

I just went to the new South Block in Vienna and had a great experience all around. The staff was very friendly and attentive and was practicing good safety measures with masks and gloves. All patrons were wearing masks and following guidelines. I got two Smoothie bowls--the Caveman bowl and the Supergreen smoothie with ginger made into a bowl. I ate the Caveman bowl and it was delicious and very substantive with fresh ingredients like bananas and açaí and dates. My daughter had the green bowl which she loves and says is very refreshing. I also got a matcha latte and the barista did a great job with the espresso art. I will definitely be coming back again soon! read more

I love this place! The employees are very friendly and the bowls are amazing! My favorite is the cave man bowl! Their bowls are becoming part of my daily routine. read more

The new location in Vienna is awesome. The atmosphere is cool and the staff had great energy. The service is fantastic, my order was ready quickly and everything tasted great! I got the avocado toast and the guava smoothie, I would highly recommend! read more

Really cool spot! Smoothie shop by day. Concert venue and bar by night! Delicious açaí bowls. Will definitely be returning!

My roommate suggested I go to Jammin Java to study but when I looked at the reviews online, I was enticed by the smoothie and juice menu (not realizing yet that SouthBlock shared the space). I met Eddie (manager I think). They close at 3 for now but i arrived at 3:08 and had a Caveman smoothie made by a newer and pleasant barista. They were very welcoming and friendly and I got a good 1.5 hours of study time in before snapchat distracted me read more

Best Acai bowl in the area hands down! Love it there and the employees are the best!

I like it here so much! It is expensive but it is worth it for sure. Healthy and fresh.

Yum, yum, yum but not the most comfortable. There are three long tables you can perch at, but the space is usually super cold / not very inviting. I wouldn't park here to study for hours, but definitely recommend it for a quick acai bowl/smoothie/juice break with friends. I'm obsessed with the bowls - I've tried (and loved) the Warrior Bowl and the PB&J Bowl. Delicious, healthy, and refreshing. read more

This place is awesome, so glad there's one in Vienna now! All the ingredients are super fresh and tasty - I'll be dropping by again soon.

Got the warrior bowl & it was amazing. Love this place & I wish there was one closer to my house!

A great place to experience a higher quality of food. A fun place. Great juices, fruit bowls, smoothies, coffee, tea, and treats. Take on a new healthy approach to your food at South Block. read more

Great juices, smoothies and coffee plus fresh pastries and other goodies. Very helpful and friendly crew.
