It was difficult for us to find a nice celiac-friendly place for lunch that would allow us to bring…read moreour dogs, but this cute little store met all our needs! They have plenty of outdoor seating for your little pups, though the water dish they left out was unattended to. As far as food, they had a whole plant-based menu to meet my vegan needs. More important, they were able to make a gluten-free sandwich for my partner with celiac. They took precautions to minimize cross-contact with gluten items, including wrapping the sandwich up separately and bringing it out to us first before bringing out our gluten containing items. The three in our group had mixed reviews on the food quality. I enjoyed my reuben very much. My partner and his mom thought their food was okay, and their portions were too small for the price. As far as the actual store goes, they carry a lot of what your typical natural foods store or food co-op would carry, though the prices seem more along the lines of what a Whole Foods would charge. For example, $3.50 for a single avocado. Considering that they are a small business in a somewhat touristy town, I guess that is a sound business decision. All in all, a good experience, just expect to pay a little more if you are going to shop or eat there!

The matcha was a bit light for my taste and I didn't taste much of the jasmine syrup either. The breakfast burrito bowl was flavorful and I loved the pan fried cheese on top! It only comes with eggs, onions and cheese but you can add sausage, avocado and potatoes for an extra charge. The cafe itself is very cute and all the staff are very friendly. They have a few tables outside to soak up some sun on a nice day (like today!) Iced jasmine matcha: 4/10 way too light for me Breakfast burrito bowl: 7.5/10 Service: 10/10

Stopped here for a quick cup of coffee before heading out and was I mesmerized. We got the Monster…read moreMatcha and it was delicious. Definitely having tastes of the ube and the matcha, the mixture was perfect and neither overpowered the other for a great treat. We also got the sesame mochi and that was delicious! The sweet taste and gooey texture of the mochi juxtaposed against the savory taste and crunch of the sesame was genius! With plenty of seating area indoors and outdoors, Nativ Cafe also provides WiFi and games to spend time and enjoy your day. I would definitely recommend and will be back whenever we're nearby!

everbowl moved to a different location and unfortunately the parking situation is not good here…read more there's no designated parking for customers so you have to park in the neighborhood next to the store. I haven't been back in a few years but it seems like the ordering system is different now. you pick everything you want at the cashier and pay before they make your bowl. this wasn't really clear when we came in so we were confused for a bit. it's not efficient for traffic flow the cashier is located towards the far side of the doors. while everything was delicious and fresh, I find it hard to want to come back with the price changes. when you make your own bowl, you're limited to a certain amount of toppings as compared to back then when it was unlimited.

There is no street parking and I parked inside the parking structure for the apartments. Not much info other than it's reserved and that your car is at risk of being towed.

Overall, 5/5! Loved Raw Blendz and we will definitely be returning!…read more I've seen this pop up on my Yelp feed when searching for acái bowls and we decided to finally go give it a try. There were so many options, so take a minute to read the menu when you go in. There's a drive thru which is super convenient, however since it was our first time we went inside to get the full experience. The staff were super friendly and upon mentioning it was our first visit helped up clarify any questions we had! It gives off cool, vibrant snack shack in the best way! There is outdoor picnic tables for the nicer days and indoor there are a couple seats for waiting. Definitely give this a try if you're looking for a refreshing, light, and energizing snack, meal, or beverage.

Ya know, it's weird that this has been in my drafts for forever. But I like this place. I like that…read morethey were down with the açaí bowl situation before it was cool (or at least, before it became de rigeur and/or spread to the damp and drippy PNW). I started chowing down on smoothie bowls in sunny southern California and the majorest of major metros like Manhattan, and it seems like it took forever for the "trend" to spread to our rainy neck of the woods. One could certainly get wheatgrass shots every which where, but smoothie bowls, not so much. ANYWAY, Carioca Bowls was leading the vanguard of delish and genuine açaí bowls in PDX long before it was an expected food variety in all hippie-ish towns in the US. Their bowls meet my exacting ingredient standards: Now that smoothie bowls have gone mainstream, many are just lightly disguised dessert with "health food" marketing: Hidden sweeteners and grody additives pushed on the unsuspecting hoi polloi ruin it for people who don't do their homework. But not Carioca Bowls: You can ACTUALLY get an unsweetened açaí bowl if that's your jam (it's mine: If I wanted dessert, I'd get a cupcake), and they don't drown the top in honey (honey has its place, and that place is far away from me), and drink in the extremely second-wave granola vibes while you're at it. Third-wave hippie food, like third-wave coffee shops, have suffered a loss of soul: Minimalist design, LED lighting, and cookie-cutter staff with vaseline smiles beckoning "welcome in!" with vacant looks in their eyes have sapped a lot of the joy from the spaces serving hippie food and matcha tea. Carioca Bowls remains a comfortingly messy, quirky callback to sincerity: Murals, houseplants, low lighting, a big messy garden-y space outdoors for sitting and chowing, organic unfussy aesthetics that make the whole scene just feel welcoming and comfy. You can eat your bowl here and not feel like you're a nuisance to the staff, or like there's a glaring spotlight on you (unlike SOME smoothie/juice/bowl places I could mention). Nary a whiff of extruded white plastic ANYWHERE in this place. It makes me feel at home, the way a wheatgrass-sniffin', long-hair-havin', big-hug-givin' hippie should feel. When I walk through the door, I feel RELAXED, ya know what I mean? Anyway, give it a try - this isn't my 'hood but I will still occasionally make a pilgrimage just to get a bowl and drink in the vibes. So if I were writing a Michelin guide (buy those tires!) I suppose I'd give this at least a star, as it's worth a special trip (IF you're into what I've described here - it's highly specific, but it's MY vibe). Anyway, long live Carioca Bowls!
