    Acai and Dragonfruit bowl
    Ethan C.

    What a delicious spot for acai bowls near the ocean! We stopped by on a whim craving some colorful acai bowls during our day in Pacifica and left with a newly discovered favorite food spot in the area. We got build-your-own bowls and layered up with the gorgeous, VIBRANT, tropical hues of Acai, Dragonfruit, and Blue Spirulina. The bases have a well-balanced consistency -- not too soft that everything melts quickly but not too frozen that it's like eating ice. I also like their unique toppings -- it's unlimited and we topped up with blackberries, strawberries, granolas, and chocolate chips! The choco chips add a rich, creamy, chewy component to your bowl that I've never had at other Acai spots! However, I have to take 2 stars off for the service -- the workers don't give off a welcoming vibe and aren't very friendly. They don't greet you and I remember one time the guy helping us had a short and snappy attitude... They also seem short-staffed -- there was only 1 worker fulfilling both online orders and in-store orders, which resulted in everyone in line waiting for 15 minutes while all the online orders were finished first by 1 worker. Overall, acai bowls are great but service could really use some improvement.

    Perfect post hike acai spot in pacifica! Plenty of parking in shopping center area and seating inside. Great selection of bases for bowl, unlimited toppings + smoothies I got the acai and pitaya base - i appreciated how staff packs the layers in. The bases itself are perfect consistency, it is cold enough to where bowl doesnt melt while holding and eating. Fruit toppings are fresh and ripe! Will definitely be returning, great spot!

    This was my first time stoping by The Açaí Spot. It's located in a strip mall, so plenty of free parking. When I walked in, it wasn't busy and the guy didn't acknowledge me. He was finishing up a DoorDash order and finally helped me. The ordering instructions were very clear- pick a size, a base, toppings, drizzle and nut butter if you'd like. I went with the Açaí base with granola, chia pudding, coconut, strawberries, bananas and honey. Everything went really well together and the portions were generous. The place itself wasn't too impressive- although they do have cool stools. A group of teens walked in as I was about to pay and the guy looked at them but didn't greet them. A simple hello or even a smile makes hell of a difference.

    Despite it being only 10 am, they didn't have any of the base flavors we wanted in stock. However, the coconut and acai options were delicious. The spacious location offers ample indoor seating.

    Before they opened, V discovered, via Maps search, that The Açaí Spot was to open their Pacifica store, just a few minutes' drive from our house. We were excited to try out a new spot that serves the popular breakfast or snack option. Social media posts of their vibrantly presented bowls of blended frozen smoothie-like bases topped with a variety of fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, granola and sauces like nutella, cookie butter, etc. helped to reel us in. Located at the Linda Mar Shopping Center, parking is easy to find in the spacious lot. We have always found a space to park just steps away from the front entrance. The shoppe is simple in decor with hardwood floors, black walls and tables, and fruit-themed seats. They also have bar seating facing the front window. The venue always appears to be fairly clean every time we visit. The Açaí Spot's menu is short and simply composed of build-your-own bowls and a list of fruit smoothies. The steps to building a bowl are straightforward: 1. CHOOSE BOWL size (12 oz for $12.00, 16oz for $14.00, 24oz for $16.00) 2. CHOOSE BASES (AÇAÍ, DRAGON FRUIT, COCONUT, UBE, MATCHA, BLUE SPIRULINA, and for an extra $1 CHIA PUDDING) - V usually goes for an açaí base. I always have a bottom layer of granola with coconut and matcha bases...and sometimes even chia pudding (Yes, you can pick multiple bases!) Mom likes the ube. 3. CHOOSE TOPPINGS (CHIA PUDDING, GOJIBERRIES, STRAWBERRY, CHIA SEEDS, BANANA, ALMONDS, BLACKBERRIES, COCONUT SHAVING, BLUEBERRY, CHOCOLATE CHIPS, CRUMBLED OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE), DRIZZLES (HONEY DRIZZLE, AGAVE DRIZZLE, CONDENSED MILK) AND NUT BUTTERS (PEANUT BUTTER, ALMOND BUTTER). With the exception of more butter for an extra $1, I think that you can choose to have all of the selections of toppings and drizzles. I like to top with chia pudding, strawberry, banana, almond slivers, blueberry and sometimes crumbled oatmeal raisin cookie, agave drizzle and almond butter. Our bowls are always sumptuous. Service here is just like at an ice cream shoppe - order at the counter and pay once all of your items are made. Easy peasy. For the most part, the staff is usually warm and friendly. The Açaí Spot is currently our favourite açaí shoppe. After we brought Mom here, she craved a bowl so much that she searched for a place nearby her house to get another...which she said was not as good as what she got from here.

    A pretty cute place inside with fruit decor for chairs and very clean. Aside from the menu, there is a small section that sells grab and go items like power bars and snacks. We came to grab a couple of bowls and I have to say the staff wasn't very welcoming. It almost seemed like she didn't want to be there. No smile, no greeting and not really much enthusiasm. After putting in our first order it looked like they were out of açaí. She was rummaging through 4 different containers before she found one she could scoop some out of. Wanted granola, also out and needed to be refilled. Wanted blueberries, also out and needed to be refilled. Only strawberries and bananas seemed to be stocked. I could understand being out of items if there were a constant stream of customers but there were nobody there when we entered. I think a better use of down time could be spent restocking. Finally got our order and paid. A half hearted "thank you" and she was on to the next customer. Taste and presentation was ok but service could use some work.

    Worst açaí bowl spot ever. We tried their smoothies and they all tasted like nothing. The acai smoothie didn't even look like it had acai in it. It had a weird gray color and tasted watery. The strawberry banana with almond butter smoothie tasted even more bland with no sweetness at all. 100% would not recommend.

    Acai with granola, almond butter, coconut shreds, chia seeds, strawberries, and condensed milk drizzle.

    Absolutely delicious and friendly service. So many choices for toppings. So glad to have a healthy option in the Linda Mar Shopping center.

    Build Your Bowl

    Today I came in with my boyfriend and it was nice and clean inside. The service was great! We came from Sacramento after seeing a TikTok video rate this place and as an acai lover I had to try for myself. We did the build your own bowl and let me tell you it was delicious!! All the fruits were fresh and sweet and all the flavors were to die for! I would definitely make the drive and come back!

    Finally.. an acai spot in pacifica. Came here on a sunday night at 6pm and their bowls still tasted super fresh. Interior is pretty dark and there are some cute chairs, but limited eating inside, so its best to go to the beach and eat it. Service was fast as we were the only ones in line. Got an acai base + all the fruits, almond butter & chia pudding. Unfortunately they were out of coconut shreds, but still was good regardless. Me and my bf love a good base and their acai base was pretty good and not sour at all compared to other acai spots. The good thing about this spot is that they have a good amount of topping selections and it's not limited. Will come back :)

    Build Your Bowl

    I absolutely LOVE The Açaí Spot This place is a gem -- their açaí bowls and parfaits are always fresh delicious and beautifully made Just look at this cup packed with creamy açaí crunchy granola sweet berries and a sprinkle of coconut -- every bite is perfection The flavors are refreshing and naturally sweet and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients The shop itself has a fun and vibrant vibe and the staff are always friendly and welcoming It's the perfect place for a healthy snack a quick breakfast or a treat after a workout If you're looking for the best açaí in town you HAVE to try The Açaí Spot I can't recommend it enough -- I promise you'll be hooked after your first taste

    6pm, dragon fruit base
    Samantha I.

    Walked in on a Monday at 5:55pm with my family hoping to love this place. Came in to try and immediately got long stares by associates after a minute of staring at each other, the guy goes "what can I get you, we only have dragon fruit or matcha" in the most inconvenient tone cmon now.... Anyways, hoping you have a better experience because I was hoping to have a cool local açaí spot to go to.

    Build Your Bowl ! Delicious   5 stars

    This place is amazing ! I can't brag on it enough to do them justice.Such treat to find them. So friendly so clean. Just perfection. I absolutely say "Go" Enjoy a piece of Heaven on Earth.

    This place is everything you'd expect from a diner, but with better quality. you can really tell…read moreeverything is fresh. I love the fresh orange juice and carrot juice ( especially the half oj half carrot combo). The waffles are nice and crispy and i really like the corned beef hash thats made in house! I've yet to order something i didn't like. the staff is super friendly and Im constantly impressed with how fast they get everything done when it's really busy on the weekend. including kitchen staff because food comes out pretty fast for the labor that goes into cooking it. this place is really cozy. would be the ideal place to catch up with friends or family or have a casual brunch date. lots of extra outdoor seating, which is phenomenal on a nice day.

    I had been coming here for over 7 years, I had never had a waitress screamed at me at my table…read morebecause I gave my dog water from the plastic cup, and kept saying she has to threw the plastic cup in the trash because I used it to give my 14 years old dog water, I waited for someone to Come and asked but we did not even got utensils until the food came , all she did was just kept screaming like I cannot understand, of course I did and it was crystal clear and she angrily continued for several More times, she did not give me the time to respond, then walked away and I did not think she wanted to bring me another glass of water, then finally she did and kept saying the same thing, " I threw the cup in the trash because of my dog had some water from it, kept saying the cup is for human not for dogs. I know what I did and I heard her loud and clear, but she said it like want us to leave because she looks so angry. I will be more than glad to pay for it, but she made us all Felt like we were stupid not understanding, we should had just left but we just came back from Burlingame and wanted to go to Cafe Central but the line was impossible to wait, so we said let's just go to our favor spot which is Brother's cafe. But after today experience we will not return, she did not even came by and asked if the food was okay or if we need anything else, we had to ask someone else for a paper cup. It took her a few minutes before she brought me another cup of water and repeat the same thing again and again that she threw the plastic cup in the trash because of me. The worst part we notice she was eyeing in us and told her coworkers, as we left the waiter that normally come by gave my sister a hug and we can tell, he said see you guys next week... which it will not happen. She did not need to scream so many times and repeated herself so many times even the table next to us just turn around and said what is the big deal. Yes I should had know better but my 14 year old dog was happen and issue with the heat from Burlingame. I love this place but after the server ( Latina women with glasses mid 30's-40's)not just try and give us a lecture and scream at me and kept telling me because of what I did she throw the plastic cup away, instead she could be more calm and use a better wording we would had enjoyed our late breakfast. She only had to say it once but she made a comment that is not expected, by eyeing us from afar and we feel Like she wanted us to leave, we could not enjoy today's meal. This is a restaurant not a home do some respect for your self and your customers. Thank you for the last 7 years of food, we had enjoyed every Sunday since. By the way I would be more than happy to pay for the plastic cup, and I am sorry this upset her so much she made us felt like we are not welcome anymore. I had a business in San Francisco and my employees know better than to behave with such attitude.

    My new favorite go to coffee spot in Marin, especially if I am in downtown San Rafael…read more I tried two things I have never eaten before, and they both changed my world. I don't say that lightly. I'll start with Arabic light roast coffee that was a golden color and infused with cardamom. It was exactly what I was looking for that day. It tasted great, and it gave me to pick me up. I needed for the rest of the afternoon. I have never seen coffee that color. It was delightful. As for the fatayer, it is basically the Yemeni version of an empanada. I am very much a savory breakfast person, so this was a special treat. The spices were amazing, and it was cooked to perfection. This is one of the items you can see in the display case that they warm up for you on the spot. There were also many desserts and other food options. I should also note that I ordered on a large tablet display, which included several different drink, and food options. Honestly, the menu was a little bit overwhelming given the number of choices, but it also makes me think that there is so much more that I need to try next time. I needed to get some work done, so I sa myself down on the very comfortable couch, which conveniently contained a Wi-Fi password stuck to the edge of the adjacent table. It was very chill, and if I didn't have an appointment to get you I certainly could've stayed there all day. I am excited to try some other things on the menu and continue to support this local business.
