    Delicious and filling acaii bowl. Great for a quick bite and good amount of indoor seating in the area.

    Update on my recent review! They contacted me and I was actually going to visit again! To make the story short. I told them some details and my opinion about an incident that happened in the store while I was there and it seems they didn't want any advice. Pretty unprofessional if you ask me.

    Not blended well
    Aisha M.

    My husband and I wanted a smoothie as a light dinner. First thing the smoothie shop is in the GW university gym so you have to give them your drivers license until you leave. The smoothie bar has a lot of clean options. I got the super green smoothie which was so tasty and not too sweet. I could taste the kale, but it wasn't overpowering. My husband had the peanut blast smoothie which was tasty as well. However after taking a few sips of my smoothies I noticed it was very hard to drink. I opened the cup and saw that it was not blended well at all. I had large chunks of banana and mango just sitting in the smoothie. This was disappointing as someone recommended this place to me and we walked a couple of miles just to visit. I would definitely go back as I see the potential I just think someone was not paying attention.

    Warrior Bowl: Blend / organic acai, bananas, strawberry, pineapple juice  Topped / Handmade Granola, strawberries, blueberries, bananas

    The best açaí bowls in DC; the warrior bowl is my fave! They also have smoothies and pressed juices. I highly recommend this and the waiting line will indicate why people continue to come back.

    Warrior Bowl

    Today, I tried South Block at GWU and I was not disappointed. I ordered the warrior bowl, an açaí bowl with organic açaí, bananas, strawberry, & pineapple juice -- topped with granola, strawberries, blueberries & bananas. It was delicious, I have a new found love for açaí bowls so since there's one close to work, I'm super excited. The only downfall is that South Block is technically on GWU campus and doesn't open until 10am, the times are adjusted for students and not working professionals in the area. It would be nice if South Block opened at 8/9am so that I could grab it for breakfast and not lunch. But that's minor. All in all, good stuff, next I want to try a smoothie!

    FYI: This particular location is located on GWU premises so just be sure to either have your Uni ID on you or a regular one which they hold until you leave. Also be aware that this location is not open year round (they have just reopened as the school year has started back again). Seating is semi-abundant but a bit scattered. No real vibes going on here to lounge about as it is pretty much set up for grab and go. Service is okay, but rather dry and a bit sloppy. I find that the packaged food options aren't the best and overpriced so go elsewhere for food (like the Whole Foods just steps away). But honestly, if you are going to WF anyways, you might as well get a drink there as they now have fresh juices and blended beverages as well..

    Yummy drinks and bowls, with great service located just up the stairs from the entrance. (And they take Gworld!) If you're not a GW student, no worries! Just have your ID on you to enter. I always get the large power smoothie (SOOO GOOD) with extra whey protein for about $10. Slightly pricey imo, but that seems to be the norm with these kinds of things. My only complaint is that they don't open until 10am (or noon on Sundays), which is pretty inconvenient for getting protein after my 7am workouts.

    Warrior bowl with extra granola
    Jovita S.

    Located inside the GW gym; South Block is a good place to stop by after a workout (or anytime really) for some açaí bowls. They have pretty good options but are a bit on the pricey side. Try the warrior and cali bowl!

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.

    We had a nice and quick dine-in experience for lunch. It was Take Your Child to Work Day and I…read moredidn't even know they had a kid's menu! Buttered pasta for the win hah.
