Ruthy G.

Good açaí bowls! Wish I would have gotten açaí base instead of cacao base. But the toppings were delicious and there were a lot. The decor was very on par with the theme they were going for. Would recommend.

Athena B.

Ton of great açaí and pitaya bowl options! Love the granola on the bottom and the top of the bowl and they do not skimp on toppings! Get the large, it's worth it!

Harmony C.

They had delicious bowls and smoothies Lots of options to choose from. Everything tasted really good. I had the dirty milkshake. My partner had cacao bowl. The service was fast, and professional,

We love The Bowl. I always get the Key West bowl, so yummy topped with strawberries, bananas, honey, shaved coconut and granola. Daughter got a Skinny Dip smoothie and she thought it was great. Pleasant servers. Seating inside and a few tables outside. Some close by parking. There was plentiful parking previously, but a new restaurant next door has absconded with the parking spots to make their own outdoor seating, not available to The Bowl customers, and they absorbed the picturesque VW van as well. There! I feel better for whining about that. Whining aside, we'll still come back to The Bowl!

Libby H.

Cute store, there's indoor and outdoor seating. I got the Barefoot Bodie bowl, so yummy! The açaí base includes blueberries, strawberries, banana, peanut butter, and hemp milk. The toppings are: Granola, strawberries, banana, coconut shreds, and honey. Tried the Chuck Norris protein pack but it tasted like cardboard. Service is quick, they made our bowls fast and they'll call your name and you go up and get your order. Definitely recommend the açaí bowls!!

no complaints, yummy food and fine service for whats expected. cute acai bowl place in naples.

Meg M.

I came here while in Naples excited to try the açaí. I got the AB&J large bowl with gluten free granola and without the toppings: hemp hearts, coconut shreds, honey. The gluten free granola is an upcharge. I liked the bowl but wish it was a little sweeter. I typically get Nutella on mine but that wasn't an option. The bowl came with a good amount of açaí. My friend liked her bowl too but she got peanut butter added and they didn't add much to her bowl. We got our açaí pretty fast after we ordered. There's lots of seating inside and an area outside was closed but it looks super cute.

Alaina M.

Lots of options for different açaí bowl bases and toppings, all organic and dairy free, have gluten free granola option too! Cute, Florida vibes. Service was okay. I asked for extra peanut butter and she gave me the tiniest spoonful (even though I paid $2 extra for it which is a lot). Good smoothie options. Has outdoor and indoor seating, but parking is kind of limited.

Amy K.

5/5 all the time! Saturday mornings have a bit of a wait but it's worth it. It's always a beautiful day for a bowl. Tip: get a big bowl and head to Baker Park to enjoy! I got the Key West

Gloria S.

Smoothies have gotten better since I last visited awhile ago. Also the menu has expanded and I don't just have to have a bowl, which I don't care for Usually nice and open but today was closed windows. Still a nice environment to hang with friends. Chairs and tables, inside and out, a nice high counter too. They close by 5pm so come early

I've loved going to the bowl ever since they first opened in Naples! You are greeted as soon as you walk in and everyone is very friendly. This location is one my favorites because of the large windows/sliding doors they open especially on a nice day.

The bowl is my favorite place to get açaí bowls in Naples!!! Yes, their prices are expensive but the size of a small bowl is huge!!!! And keeps me filled up for majority of the day! The consistency of these bowls is perfect and the toppings are always fresh! I love that they do not go shy on the toppings, they really load it up to the top! This is my go to spot! I totally recommend the barefoot bodie with peanut butter instead of honey on top! read more

We biked down to the new park in Naples and passed by this place on the way. A smoothie/bowl was the perfect complement to our ride. I liked the options, I asked for recommendations, they informed me about their most popular order. It was delicious, it was filling. We debated which one we liked better between our orders. My husbands chocolate mint one was a winner by a hair. We would stop here again! read more

Delish!!! Reminds me of the acai bowls I would get in California. Very tasty and fresh. I got the AB&J bowl. Not sure if it was the area or what but the gnats were flying around me like crazy and one went in my bowl so we went to the car where we had the windows down and the gnats continued to infest my location so I couldn't finish the bowl.

Terrific place to go for a somewhat healthier option to ice cream. I actually have a bowl as my meal and not dessert. Ingredients are always fresh. The staff is never the same (we go almost every Saturday and Sunday), but they are mostly friendly. Just one pet peeve of mine, is that most use their gloves for EVERYTHING. I watched one person handle the garbage bin and then wipe off the counter where she spilled, with her gloves...then proceeded to make someone's bowl!! Another time, one was using the register, answering the phone and then scratched his neck and face with gloves on! I had to ask him to change his gloves at that point! He was dumbfounded at why I would request him to change them!?Gloves shouldn't be on for anything, unless you are making the bowls. This last time the person took the gloves off at the register, then put a fresh pair on to make the bowls and to HER we say THANK YOU!!!! read more

My favorite locally owned and all organic restaurant! Always a great experience, but particularly special when I brought my mom and 4 kids under the age of 12 the other night. I appreciated that as soon as we walked in, we were welcomed and asked if we had any questions about the menu, which was a relief since some of us had never had Açaí or Pitaya Bowls! The bowls were delicious, refreshing and most importantly, healthy! The Islamorada and Barefoot Bodie are my top picks off the menu! read more

I first learned of The Bowl at a Naples Zoo event ("Zoobilee"). Many restaurants were at the event, offering tastings of some items on their menus. I had never had an acai bowl at that point (about 2 years ago), and I was amazed that something so simple and healthy could be so delicious and refreshing. I now go there each time I'm in the Naples area. They make the best acai bowls I've had, so far. I love the fresh fruit they put on top and their acai blend is nice. I hope this place sticks around. read more

With 8 other people in line, the lady behind us gave up and walked away. We were going to yell over to the girls (both cutting and/or prepping something else) but we were just annoyed at this point and figured it's just not worth it.

The blend of açaí, pineapple, mango, banana, and coconut milk was bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Topped with granola, strawberries, banana, coconut shreds--and blueberries added on top--it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were spot on and came together beautifully. While one bowl missed the mark for us, the Key West alone is more than enough reason to return. Would definitely order that one again.

Captain & Krewe Seafood Market and Raw Bar

A Hidden Gem in Downtown Naples -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and the place was buzzing -- the outside patio was at full capacity. I asked for a seat at the bar, and even though space is very limited, the staff went above and beyond to find me one. That kind of effort on a packed afternoon says a lot about this team. The bartender was phenomenal -- attentive, warm, and somehow managed to make every single person at that busy bar feel like they were the only guest in the restaurant. The whole staff carried that same energy. They were also wonderfully descriptive about the daily specials and menu offerings, which made ordering a pleasure rather than a guessing game. I decided to try the crab cake, and I'm so glad I did. I grew up on the East Coast eating crab, and I've had my fair share -- I've long held that Phillips in Maryland made the gold standard. I am happy to report that Captain & Crew has dethroned them in my book. This crab cake was pure lump crab meat, not overpowered by fillers or seasoning. You could actually taste the crab. The accompaniments they served alongside it elevated the whole dish even further. Thoroughly impressed. The wine pairings were equally well-curated. I took the staff's recommendations and they absolutely nailed it. A heads-up for first-timers: parking is the one small challenge. There's no convenient lot right there, so you may need to use a parking garage and walk over. Honestly? Embrace it. If you're already in Downtown Naples, it's a beautiful stroll that perfectly sets the mood before you arrive. Captain & Crew is a true hidden gem. Many people come for the fresh seafood market, but don't overlook the restaurant side -- it's absolutely worth your time. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The setting was simple, the service was…read moreexcellent, and the food even better. After sitting down, we started reviewing the menu and saw so many interesting items that it was difficult to choose. Fortunately, our server noticed we were struggling and she offered to help navigate us through our meal. Our goal was to sample a variety of options, but not to over order. And we accomplished just that! We started with some Stone Crabs, then some Peel & Eat Shrimp, then my wife and I shared an entree of Blackened Grouper with sides of fries and coleslaw, where we also added a few scallops. Delicious! We thought we were done, but our server informed us of the excellent Key Lime pie. We had room to share one slice, and we are so happy we did! It was excellent. A great balance of tartness and sweetness. We look forward to returning!

Finally tried their restaurant with 6 other ladies and it was marvelous. I had the swordfish which melted In your mouth. Another ordered salmon and I thought she might lick the plate. Several had the soup of the day and raved about it. One lady ordered oysters and thought she died and went to heaven. Sorry I had to look in another direction, I don't even like looking at them, But to each their own. Also heard raves about the lobster roll. Service was excellent, our waiter works winters here and the summers in Maine, So he knows his seafood. The decor is done very well, the bar is an old boat with the top half over the bar holding glasses and the bottom half the bar. We all thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon at Swan River and we will be back.

My grouper, however, didn't quite hit the mark. It was cooked well but pretty basic, and the presentation didn't showcase the quality of the fish - I give it a 3. I also wish the mussels came with bread to soak up the delicious broth. Service was friendly, though lunch took a little longer than expected. We also noticed another customer dining indoors with a dog. It wasn't disruptive, just a little unexpected. I still love Swan River's seafood market and genuinely want the restaurant to be just as memorable. The quality is there, I think a few thoughtful touches would make a big difference.

5+ Star Review for Mercato Italiano…read more From the moment you walk into Mercato Italiano, you know you have found something special. This is not just a café. It is an experience that brings authentic Italian flavor and warmth right into the heart of Naples. Let me start with the espresso. The flavor was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. You can taste the quality in every sip. It had that true Italian profile, bold but never bitter, and it set the tone for everything that followed. Now the food. I ordered a croissant sandwich, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The croissant itself was fresh out of the oven, light, flaky, and buttery in all the right ways. Inside, I had two sunny-side-up eggs cooked just right, paired with prosciutto, bacon, and ham. The combination of flavors was incredible. Every bite gave you a perfect mix of savory, rich, and slightly salty notes, all brought together by that warm, delicate croissant. What really stood out was the presentation. This was not just a sandwich thrown on a plate. It was carefully arranged on a platter, clean, inviting, and done with pride. You can tell they care about every detail. The atmosphere completes the experience. The energy inside is welcoming, relaxed, and full of character. It feels like a place where people come not just to eat, but to slow down, connect, and enjoy the moment. Whether you are stopping in for a quick espresso or sitting down for a full breakfast, the environment makes you want to stay. The experience was outstanding along with the service that made you feel like Family. If you are anywhere near Naples, this is a must-visit. Mercato Italiano delivers on flavor, presentation, and experience at the highest level. This is easily a 5-plus star spot, and a place I will return to again without hesitation.

Authenticity is evident in every detail- fresh and delicious all around. This is a must stop at…read moreplace

I recently moved from California and was disappointed by the quality and service here compared to similar places elsewhere. The açai bowl was served completely frozen--so frozen it was impossible to eat right away. It felt like it came straight from the freezer with minimal, not-so-fresh toppings. The smoothie was also frozen solid. Presentation and cleanliness were lacking. The smoothie cup had juice splashed on the outside, and there was no effort to clean or properly present it. Although the ingredients may be organic, the execution and service were poor. I had to wait a long time for the bowl to thaw enough to eat, and the place was empty when I visited, which wasn't surprising. There's a lot of room for improvement. I wouldn't return. read more

The Bowl strives to use all organic ingredients.I sampled the Key West Acai Bowl, and wow! The freshly blended acai was smooth and creamy and popping with flavor. There's no skimping on organic fruit toppings at The Bowl, always fresh and perfectly ripe. The crispy nodules of granola are certainly some of the best around, an epic acai bowl experience all around. Superb quality, large portion size, and yummy taste. read more
