this was my first time so I opted for the Sweet Berry Bliss. All the toppings complimented each other and I loved the added sweetness from the Nutella. They also offer the option to creat your own bowl and your own toppings. You can also order smoothies, milk tea and fruit tea with the option to add boba. It was practically empty as it was a rainy afternoon so I didn't have to wait long to get my bowl. Next time I'm downtown I'll be sure to try one of the other menu items.
After coming here (again) and doing my research i discovered chopped fruit is given in ounces and other fruit such as blackberries and raspberries are given in numbers (3). So if you're a fruit lover like me you might want to ask which fruit is chopped (you get more) so you're feelings aren't hurt over nothing lol. Sign up for the rewards because the system will remember your order and you can just give them your number and It pulls up your last order
I won't just sit here and pretend That before my earth time will end I will have returned Because lessons are learned And I'm not a fan of Corner Blend I wouldn't eat here again unless I was cornered, and even then I'd probably come in naked, and get Blend... I mean banned. My last stop in Columbia was for an acai bowl and I'd really love to give them 5 Stars cuz it tasted really good, but I have a whole long (laundry) list of complaints. First of all, they're cheating, which is one of the reasons that it tastes good. They put a good deal of honey or agave in the bowl, and then they mix it with apple juice, so it's already going to be tasting sweet and delicious, but not for any healthy reasons, nor for that delicate Acai taste - in fact it's really bad for you - in fact you may as well drink a soda and I'm not even kidding. Norly, I'm literally not kidding. You know how much added juice is in apple juice? It's basically just a cup of sugar. Concentrated chemical sugar too, high fructose sh**. I mean this isn't fresh squeezed stuff they're putting in here. My next complaint is the price. Literally more expensive than New York City. Manhattan has obscene costs of everything so why am I paying more for an Acai Bowl in Columbia South Carolina than I do in New York. And the New York one has healthier ingredients which are more expensive. My next problem was the service. The owners are so nice - I mean so incredibly nice - and one of the young girls serving was really nice as well, but the girl that actually served me didn't seem to like me very much, and kind of had a big attitude. She wasn't very helpful with my questions and when I asked if I could take one item back off the total (she hadn't made it yet - I didn't want to pay extra because it's ridiculous considering how much they're already charging) she said "it's only $0.50" and would not take it off the register. I couldn't believe it was happening but it was only $0.50 so I wasn't going to cause an argument over it. But she basically single-handedly (along with the AJ and the price) turned a glowing 5 star experience into 3 stars. I responded to her passive aggressiveness by paying for my $11 55 small acai bowl (and it was pretty small) with $10 and then a bunch of silver change. You should have seen the look on her face. I laughed about it and told her thank you for letting me empty out my whole heavy pocket, and she rolled her eyes and said "yep." Again, in New York City I expect attitudes like that. Columbia South Carolina? What the hell. I'd also like to point out that the first thing I said was that I did not want any granola which comes free with the product. I then chose 5 berries and a half portion of Honey drizzled on it. That's 5 and 1/2 toppings but no granola which is one of the things that's factored into the price. So actually got less than the average person gets on the bowl and still got charged more. Considering how much she clearly didn't like me I didn't ask her to take my picture and instead asked a customer. The customers were total Angels. So were the owners. Also everybody working was all over the place even though there were not many customers in the place, as one guy had been standing there since I walked in and about 12 minutes later when I was walking out he finally inquired where his drinks were and guess what? They had been sitting there the entire time and nobody had given them to him. Along those lines I'd also ask for a lid. The girl had put a lid on my SI and then just plopped it down on the counter. I was waiting for her to get me a lid when I realized that my acai was right next to a bunch of other orders. Could have easily gotten confused. She didn't give it back to me, just put it on the counter and disappeared. Awesome. So service issues is an understatement at this place. Oh and if you're going to charge more than New York City for an Acai Bowl you better have incredibly fresh ingredients across the board. The fruit they are using are mixed bag. Some of them tasted sour whereas the red raspberries tasted Divine. The strawberries on the other hand? I could already taste them rotting away. 3 stars, could have easily been a 5 (for taste), or a 1 (for service, price, etc). I hate to write these negative reviews but in this case I felt like I was blended into a corner.
I order the same thing every time. Taro Slushy with Pomegranate popping pearls. The most (in my opinion) refreshing taste. The taro flavor tastes like Froot Loops, and the pomegranate popping pearls are like this tart sweet liquid inside that pops inside your mouth when you bite down. I use to order the taro tea (in the picture) but i think the taro Slushy is better. Reminds me of a personalized Starbucks Frappuccino but better! The price is great. Very very clean spot. Parking is not difficult at all since it is beside a parking garage and spots on the street that are rarely taken. I have taken a star off because i recently visited Gong cha and I prefer their process of you being able to choose your sweetness. Lately I've been going to the corner blend and they have not been consistent with their sweetness. One day it will be excellent and another day it will be as if I'm drinking blended ice water.. i will give the place another try but it's hard when i don't know how to expect my drink to taste when i order it
Ah-maz-ing!!! Received this sweet deal as apart of the Yelp elite program and absolutely enjoyed it! The vibe is really good here! I loved the little photo booth. I came alone and didn't have anyone to take a picture with, lol! I had a chance to scan the menu and I would totally eat here again. It's very posh like and the atmosphere makes you feel healthy lol! Oh and the overnight oats bowl was extremely delish! Better than what I would have done at home. Thanks for the perks and good food!
Awesome healthy place to eat , they sell bowls of fruit that in power's your body ! Corner blend also sells frozen yogurt, coffee and bubble teas! I was a different place interesting but was a great place for a snack or a meal. They also have create your own fruit bowl. Which is different but good. I was pretty impressed! I know it's a big hit with the college crowds.
So honestly, I stopped here for bubble tea because the place next door had a card minimum. I was a little hesitant at first because it seemed a little hipster. You don't get the option to customize the sweetness or ice, but it definitely settled my craving. The bubble tea is a little less sweet if you're used to what they call "normal" sweetness, but that's my preference so I thoroughly enjoyed it.
We got so excited to see a boba place in Columbia. All 4 of us are from Southern California, where boba places are like Starbucks in Seattle. Literally in every corner there is one. So we came in with a high expectation. Or not so much, at least we thought, it's near a big university, should be at least okay. It was the worst boba I've ever had in my life. Boba was too soft and my drink barely had any taste. I tasted my friends' drinks too. They were all the same. We all couldn't finish our drinks and saw some people pass by with boba in their hands, from another shop. We had to throw away our drinks and followed them. Sorry, but definitely not our standards....
This use to be a favorite spot. Until the owners changed, the bowls got smaller and the prices increased. The restaurant was clean, floor was sticky. The staff isn't customer service trained. Did not offer any other menu items. Others it's a nice spot. read more

This is an açaí bow place why in the world are there white plastic spoons and not the delectable blue thick ones. this was very upsetting to see and the bowls are outrageous I want to see what i'm eating. These changes messed with the taste and experience of having a delicious açaí bowl and now my morning may be ruined. read more

Love this place! I've gotten milk tea boba here several times and it's always fast service and good. I will admit I'm not a boba connoisseur so I'm not sure how it ranks in the boba world but for a girl looking for a sweet drink with good taste it's perfect. read more

WOW! I'm starting a healthier lifestyle and I just found this place on yelp while looking for something else and I am beyond happy I did. The inside is very clean and they have two seating areas outside. Even if you can't find parking out front it well worth the walk. I ordered a pretty in pitaya bowl. The base has a pitaya blend with granola in the middle. On top I had banana, strawberry, pineapple, goji berry, and honey. I also ordered a bubble tea made with jasmine green tea on ice. It was made with Pomegranate and added Passion fruit popping pearls. Both of them tasted wonderful and the tea had me in such a beautiful mood all day. I highly recommend the corner blend! read more

We're really sorry to hear about the missing toppings on your recent…
Yoghut is a great place to meet with friends to chat and hang out. It's located on the USC Main campus and is close to some restaurants including Moe's and a pizza place next door. The decor is really colorful with a kind of modern look with pastel orange and green background scheme. They have seating inside with small intimate tables and booths as well as some outside tables. For parking, I usually park in the Adesso Parking lot (up to an hour), but there's also plenty of street parking so it's never been an issue for me. What really sets Yoghurt apart from the other typical yogurt shops is the wide selection of drinks that they have here. They offer Acai drinks, coffee, shakes, smoothies, and even bubble tea! There's something for everyone here for sure and of course the yogurt. Look no further! They have NUTELLA yogurt here!!! I'm a big nutella fan so I filled my cup with only the Nutella yogurt and topped it with strawberries and oreo pieces. It was amazing!!! All Nutella lovers will enjoy it. Other flavors that they have are Strawberry, White Chocolate, and European Tart. I think they rotate some of them out so it can change. What's also nice is that they give you a small sample cup so you taste before you buy. Their topping section has over 25 options including various candies and fruits. When we were paying, the cashier was also super friendly and we chatted for a bit. They also have a loyalty program where you can rake in points the more you come in which is nice, with a $2 coupon for your next visit if you join as a new member. read more

I have been coming to Corner Blend for years now and it has just fallen off tremendously. Wow. The customer service and the price increase are out of this world. The smoothie bowls have gotten smaller and more expensive. If I'm paying $13 for a bowl I should be able to substitute any fruit out that I like. And the bowl is just not justifiable for the price. I will not be coming back at all. There are just too many places now in Columbia that off better products for better prices. read more

Hi Jade,…
Clean facility, friendly staff, and a wide variety of toppings. I'm a huge fan of frozen yogurt and unfortunately, Columbia doesn't have many places. They also have a wide variety of smoothies and fruit bowls. TIP: there are a few spaces in the Adesso parking garage that are reserved for Yoghut customers! read more

I have been looking for a place in Columbia that serves smoothie bowls for FOREVER! I was super excited when I found The Corner Blend! The Sweet Berry Bliss bowl was amazing!! The ingredients and toppings were fresh and delicious! The presentation was amazing as well! The store is very clean and welcoming. I love the greenery and the windows allow for a ton of sunlight! The best part of the visit was Shaman. He was very very helpful and explained the menu items thoroughly! He allowed me to taste different items to help me make my selections. He was very personable and funny! He made it a point to call me by my name when speaking to me, which are personal touches that do not go unnoticed in customer service! Great experience, I will surely return! read more

The young lady who works there on weekends is the worst. Apparently to her, Acai bowls are suppose to be frozen and have chunks of ice in them. She didn't even offer to fix my bowl, just said I had to tell them in advance if I wanted it pureed. Who the hell eats Acai bowls frozen? I have had many Acai bowls and even make my own (apparently I have to start doing it again), and never heard of them having chucks of ice in it. The customer service is shit. Never coming here again. read more

10000% recommend!! I got the blue majik açaí bowl and it was amazing!! My sister got another açaí bowl and loved it as well. The prices were also great I thought. $10 for a regular size bowl is a good deal in my opinion. Also tried the boba milk tea and that was delicious too. Great environment. Highly recommend read more

Perfection! Simply delightful! So I pulled up and just knew it was a USC student hangout but hey I still look young so I was able to fit in just fine! The service was excellent! It was my first time and the young lady was very helpful in helping me figure things out! I got the blue cup. It is so delicious and healthy I probably should of gotten a larger serving! I'm still full though. The inside of this place is so cute and chic! Anyone would fall in love! The bowls reminds me of frozen yogurt but not too creamy. Very healthy! read more
