    Mini Nutella bowl
    Anushka M.

    South block has become my go to smoothie bowl place in the morning! It's so easy to order through their app and pickup in store to skip the line. I always order their Nutella bowl. The mini size is the perfect quantity for me without being too filling. I've been to several locations but love the Georgetown one to start my morning. I soon need to venture out and try other items besides the Nutella bowl, but it's so delicious that I genuinely crave it in the morning. It's always busier on weekends, so I recommended placing those online orders to avoid long waits.

    Guava smoothie

    I love the guava smoothie! One of the best smoothies I've had. Also you can order through a self-service kiosk.

    Strawberry bowl, wanderlust bowl
    Isabella B.

    Tried the strawberry bowl for the first time and it was delicious! Very tropical, but not too insanely sweet. Added collagen protein which was great and barely added any taste to the bowl. Wanderlust bowl was also good and fresh. Bowls were made quickly which was great. Only gave 4 stars because the bowls can get kinda pricey - with the added protein plus tax & tip, we paid $34 for both bowls.

    Tryna be healthy but also have something super delicious? South Block is the place for you. They have a great varieties of açaí bowls and smoothies to choose from, and each are so tasty you won't even realize you're picking in tons of fruits and vitamins! I love their pb&j bowls and smoothies because they're creamy and fruity. I would come here for breakfast or for a snack, although I know some people find their bowls filling enough for lunch. Their offerings are a bit on the pricier side, but that's to be expected for a smoothie place, especially in Georgetown. They do have seating which is shared with Grace Street Coffee and a sandwich place in the same space, and it's a nice atmosphere with great lighting. But if you come during popular hours seating might be difficult, bc this is definitely a hot spot!

    One of my go-to places while I was in D.C. over the summer! This place made me fall in love with acai bowls. Their bowls were so refreshing and easy to take-out. If you are ever in Georgetown, I would definitely recommend grabbing a bowl and walking a block down to the waterfront to enjoy your acai. I would honestly recommend all of their bowls, but my favorites were the Warrior Bowl and the Magic Dragon Bowl (for all pitaya lovers).

    Mini bowl and blood orange tea
    Soumya I.

    Walked into here randomly bc we wanted a quick pick me up after walking around Georgetown. We definitely picked right! More on the expensive side but you also get what you pay for. I got the Mini Bowl $7 ( Acia, banana, almond milk topped with banana, granola and strawberry) with a Blood orange tea. Ughhh so damn good! Always a sucker for some delicious tea. They have plenty of seating outside as well as inside. So take ur pick. Tip: if you're not in the mood for huge portions opt for the Mini Bowl!! It's the perfect mid-day pick me up snack.

    1 Day Juice Cleanse
    Ronnie T.

    Excellent customer service, fresh quality juices, and in a great location! This place is my go to when it comes to doing my yearly juice cleanse. Their juices cleanse and revitalize my body leaving me feeling fresh and renewed!!

    South Block has fresh, healthy smoothies, acai bowls, and snacks that are tasty and refreshing. Although it is quite expensive (~10 for a smoothie and ~13 for an acai bowl) the quality is definitely there.

    I was surprised to discover that this juice bar shares indoor seating and an outdoor courtyard with a couple of other businesses. It's a very pretty space. The menu was pretty straightforward; pretty much all juices and smoothies unlike some juice bars which branch out a little bit more. It's definitely on the pricier end. The smoothie I got was bursting with flavor. I doubt it had much nutritional value, and the larger size was so big I might sooner not have ordered it, despite being a modest price increase over the regular for 50% more smoothie. It's a very Georgetown-y place, but not a luxury I'd be inclined to indulge in regularly.

    What a find!!! This shop is tucked away, but once you find it, you can't miss it again! The food was so refreshing and healthy. They also give you a lot of food, so I'd say the price is definitely fair. They have areas where you can sit and work or hang out with friends. Definitely recommend if you are in the area!

    PRICE: Like any typical acai or smoothie shop - it's quite pricey for a bowl or drink, averaging around $10-12 for a bowl. They have options to add extra toppings, seeds/grains, protein for +$1-2 **Chia seeds are always free! (in case you missed that on the menu) **They do not accept cash at their locations! FOOD: The fruit here is always fresh and reliably satisfying if you're looking for a meal/snack with well-balanced macro and micronutrients. Most fruits are pretty low calorie but with added granolas, nut butters, or seeds, most of these options will equate to a full meal (~500-600 calories) **They do include the nutrition facts on the menu, which is helpful for those who are interested in tracking their macros! - Warrior Bowl (519 cal) - delicious, refreshing, and filling with plenty of berries. They don't skimp on the ingredients which is great, and you can' always rely on South Block to produce some pretty instagrammable bowls. SERVICE: Quick and efficient - staff was also very friendly. ATMOSPHERE: Minimalistic, grab-n-go establishment. Perfect stop while having a day out.

    Smoothie was way too thick. It was difficult to drink and unsatisfying. I felt like I was just drinking a blended banana.

I paid $5 for a side of zesty naan topped with different spices and really wish it came with the dish just came with it. While I was tempted to order the falafel, I couldn't justify shelling out another $5 for another upcharge and spend $10 on them for a total of $26 for just an entree - when these 2 upcharges should have been included in the entree by default. Wish there were more fun vegetarian dishes on the menu. Might come back for drinks and to explore the menu!

    On the hunt for the best Burger in DC. Not only was it the best in DC, it's the best I've ever had…read moreand I've travelled to all 50 States. Walked in and seated at the bar right away. Novice was the bartender and recommended the Proper burger. I added my typical fries and a Diet Coke. The burger came out quickly. Right off the bat, it's visually amazing. A properly stacked Burger is hard to find. The 2 best things about this burger are 1. The taste , and 2. The form of the burger. The taste is absolutely fantastic. The Gouda paired perfectly with the red onions and the perfectly cooked, juicy beef patties. The aioli was just enough and not overbearing, like looking at a painting of a castle and noticing the subtle blurred background of misty forest. The arugula added another layer of flavor that helped kick this burger into the highest echelons of Burger superiority. And of course, the brioche bun was perfect for this style of burger. It kept its shape while I gently smushed it down in my hands. The entire burger kept its shape and didn't fall apart like some other Burgers will. As I sank my teeth into the first bite, the first thing I noticed was all the flavors blending together. Each bite afterwards just added to my mystified and puzzled bewilderment. The texture was moist and soft. As I chewed and swallowed each morsel, I began to think to myself, is this it? Is my search over? Is this the BEST burger in the country? Never had I tasted such a wonderful burger! (Sorry In-N-Out 2x1, raw onions, chopped chilis, toasted bun, you are no longer on the top of my list). As I neared completion of my newly discovered epitome of gluttonous desires, a feeling of sadness started to take over. I would be done with the burger in a few more bites, and with that, my journey would conclude. I sat there, staring at what would be my final bite. The last bit of pleasure in between my slender fingers, still dripping with the juices God had placed there after it was grilled to perfection in the Kitchen. I placed the final delectable piece into my mouth. I spent what felt like an eternity chewing this treasure before finally gulping down the goblet of wonder. What came after was a feeling of pure bliss. I had finally done it. All the years, all the time dedicated to finding the best Burger ever, is complete. I called my wife and told her "Honey, it's time. I'm coming home." The fries were ok.
