We stopped here on our nightly walk to finally try this place. I LOVE the decor! They play reggae music, so as soon as you walk in-- you step into a piece of paradise! They have a lot of fruit options and even have goji berries (my favorite)! The staff was incredibly sweet and patient, and made our order the exact way we wanted. I'm a picky eater, so they let me try different flavors and I didn't feel like I was an inconvenience to them-- which is a HUGE plus. read more

I recently ordered for pick up through the Tru Bowl App on Sunday 9/9 at around 7:40pm at this Downey store since the location in Montebello closes earlier on that weekday. I arrived at around 7:50pm assuming my order was about ready so I asked one of girl employees that I had a pick up order. She looked on the iPad and questioned how long ago I had ordered. After giving her the time she then found my order on the system and realized they forgot to check for any online orders. I waited about 25 extra minutes for my order and watched how the employees making the in store orders and mine paused to make conversation with each other while one stood there doing nothing. I've had nothing but great customer service at other Tru Bowl locations. When I got my bowl I was sad to see how small the portion for the bases were. I will not be coming back to this location. read more

I have been on a journey to find my favorite local açaí bowl place. When I walked into TRU Bowl, I knew I had a high contender. The seating area gave Long Beach, beach side vibes and so did the employees laidback but kind welcoming. The cashier was highly educated on the extensive menu. He was patient with my questions and didn't mind telling me about the different type of products TRU Bowl offers including bowls, drinks, shakes, and other delicious health options. They were quick to produce my order and each flavor was fresh and bright. I initially went in for açaí but was too excited to try a new base of pitaya and had no regrets! It had a slightly shaved ice texture and was wonderful for a healthy but fresh treat read more

They have everything here! I've been craving açaí bowls for a while. But the ones near me don't carry all the extra ingredients like chai pudding and extra toppings. I was so happy to find this place. It was easy to order and the workers were fast. Will definitely be back! read more

I came with my friends and got a couple bowls. I got a Trublu bowl while my friend got the coconut dream bowl. They were delicious and the fruit was fresh! The girls that helped take our order and made our bowls were so sweet. The space doesn't have much seating with only three tables indoors. read more

1st time here.. I ordered the hippy flip drink, coconut dream bowl and create your own. The matcha drink was so delicious! It has the perfect amount of matcha and love how it contains protein.

This establishment is a few doors down from honey greens. I'm happy I have a smoothie spot closer to my home. I ordered the champ a large one. It was way too sweet for me. I forgot to ask for no sweetner and there was no need for me to get a large I couldn't finish it. But it was good. My brother enjoyed his bowl, fresh quality ingredients and it did look very pleasing to my eyeballs. I will be back. read more

First of all, it looked like this girl just rolled out of bed. I usually always go to the Whittier one and the people there are always friendly and have great hygiene, but I was in the Downey area this morning so i decided to try this tru bowl and big mistake! The girl was rude , she couldn't customize my bowl because she said Rochelle didn't let them whoever it is she seemed super scared of that person, anyways I just left usually I get a bowl and my og and leave a tip but yeah I'll just be sticking to the WHITTIER location only! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, after giving this place a try twice, it missed the mark on just about every level. First off, the customer service was beyond disappointing, especially the second time I visited which was on Sunday 6/29/25 at around 2:45pm. The guy making my bowl barely acknowledged me, acted like I was inconveniencing him by ordering/adding my toppings to my customizable bowl and made zero effort to be friendly or welcoming. No greeting, no smile-- just bad vibes all around. Then came the bowl that he made me...and wow, what a letdown. It was maybe 3/4 full at best. Açaí is not cheap, so when you're paying a premium bowl at $12-$14, you expect to get what you paid for. Instead, it felt like he was rationing ingredients (when it clearly states toppings are unlimited!) On top of that, the bases were so minimal it was almost comical -- the lightest layer of chia pudding you could barely see, same for the blue base,. For the toppings, a couple of strawberry and kiwi slices at best and a sad little sprinkle of everything else. When I was adding the toppings, I had to ask twice for a couple of things because he was just rushing through the stations as if he didn't want to add anything else. I think at one point he even rolled his eyes when I asked for a drizzle of agave which I even said "sorry" for because he made it so uncomfortable. Again at $12-1$14 bucks, that's not an açaí bowl, that's a sample they're trying reluctantly to give you. The first time I visited, I also got a customizable bowl and asked for bananas as the girl who was making my bowl was moving on to the next station of toppings, mind you, she had not started adding anything yet and she had the audacity to say to me "you have to let me know what fruit you want ahead of time" as if she was scolding me for asking for the 3 slices of bananas she proceeded to add. I told her it was fine and she didn't have to add them if I had broken the rules, and she just ignored me and added the bananas reluctantly. I was dumbfounded that this was the type of customer service I was receiving the first couple of weeks that they were open! Once again, I don't mind paying for quality, but I do expect decent service and a full bowl. Unfortunately, I got neither on both occasions. After having these two negative experiences with their staff, I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless you enjoy overpaying for underwhelming portions and rude attitudes. Do yourself a favor and head to Pur Bowls a few miles away or even Jamba Juice. I truly hope the owner/manager takes this feedback and works on better training their staff to be kind and courteous and to give customers what they are paying for instead of rationing ingredients. If you read this review and see a defensive manager/owner respond...well, that tells you everything you need to know about this business and proves the point of my entire review. read more

Had TRU Bowl - Downey location for the first time today after eyeing this place up for a WHILE. All of their items look beautiful, the appeal and marketing are top tier. I finally decided to take the plunge and went with my husband. To say the least, we were totally disappointed with the quality of the product. In both of our items - "Buttah Lovah" ($17 for a LG) signature bowl and "High Tide" ($10 for M) smoothie it lacked flavor - completely. To describe the taste of the high tide it was like, watered down blended coconut water, with the essence of pineapple. Similar in review, the açaí bowl lacked flavor. If anything the toppings - peanut butter, granola, almonds, chocolate and blueberries were delicious but the main component was a let down. I'm not sure I'll ever give them a go again to see if it's an off day bc $30 for what we got is CRAZY & if I ever spent that much again just for me to get the same shieet again, I'd be HOT! Safest bet is save your money or go to the cafe at the end of the strip mall where you can find better quality items at a fraction of the cost. Gave it a 2 star bc the staff was nice. read more

I meant to say the TRU Bowl in Downey-not Whittier. I went on May 25th after celebrating my parents' 29th anniversary at Porto's nearby. It's a cute little spot and you really can't go wrong with an açai bowl. The food was good, but the customer service felt a bit mid. The girl who helped me seemed kind of nonchalant, and when l asked for a little extra peanut butter drizzle, I was told the boss doesn't allow it because they get upset-- which was disappointing. What made the experience worse was that I found a hair in my bowl shortly after. I'm hoping it was just a one-time slip, but it's definitely something that needs attention. read more

Bowls were very good, but I wonder why they decide to play loud rap music with lots of inappropriate language? Do they not want or expect kids to come with their parents ? Aside from this the smoothies and bowls were tasty. read more

Mainly writing this review because of customer service. I work in the food industry and i know how difficult it can be but at least try...everything was half a**ed and they don't even acknowledge you or try suggesting things. They just stand there and stare at you like they were forced into that job. Anyway i got a spirulina lemonade or something and it was mostly ice, finished it in about 4 sips, it was fresh though, lemonade was good and more on the sour side cus it was made from actual lemons which i appreciated instead of it being artificial. I didn't try their acai bowls which i wanted to but felt like i was bothering them so i probably wont go back just because of the service and will find another place to try. Seating was ok, it looks unfinished because the seats are all random kinds of chairs. read more

This is a great açaí bowl spot. I prefer it to Jamba or Movita due to the variety of bases available. They have a few places to sit, but it's better for take out. The location is new so they are still getting their rhythm. If you are looking not whole food bowls, this is the preferred location read more

I was excited to try TRU Bowl! I would say for the price, wait time, and açaí portion in the bowl, it's not really worth it. Flavor was good but I think they can be more generous with their açaí and toppings. I waited 20 minutes for my 2 bowls so maybe they need more staff help? I'd still come back to try more on the menu! :) Employees were nice! read more

Horrible , i ordered a bowl for pickup and it tasted like my bowl was made with salt and not only that but as i was eating my bowl there was some kind of hair , half of what i had asked for was wrong and not to mention the girls working there had horrible service. I've been to other tru bowl locations and have never had an experience like this i will not be coming back. read more

I was excited to have a Tru Bowl located closer to my home, but unfortunately it's not as good as the tru bowl in whittier. The pitaya base tastes very artificial and has a gummy texture. I also wanted to add chia pudding as a side to my bowl, but I was told that I couldn't add any because I had already added their pitaya and cold oats (cold oats were a bit salty) Disappointed because I asked them to add it anyway and I'd pay the extra cost. She proceeded to make the bowl and offered it to me on the side. I wanted the chia pudding inside the bowl not on the side. read more

Popped in over the weekend for an alternative to Jambe or Movita. I love Northside Shack in San Diego and have been wanting something similar closer to Downey, where I live. This place definitely is now in my top three "bowl" spots. Portions and price were a bit off but I suppose that's the price of Downey. Would've liked having grapes as a topping option. I really enjoyed the coconut and pitaya bases. Excellent. read more

Tru bowl is such a delish spot for smoothie bowls. They also offer a lot of drinkable options like protein shakes as well, but my favorite was definitely the smoothie bowls!

The bowl was flavorless, and had a bad taste. This location really pales in comparison to the one in up town Whittier. I got the Açaí and Thai coconut, two thumbs down, and to top that off they have a crappy fruit selection, kiwis were sour, blueberries were smashed and the strawberries were old. They just grabs with no care and puts it in your bowl. It was nice a fresh inside with good music, tables were dirty. read more

I come here a lot and the whole staff is incredible. This morning was especially great because I thought I had dollars in my purse but I didn't, I wanted to tip but the young lady that took my order said don't worry about it "next time" I felt better because I was for sure going to come again (next week lol) but I ran to my car and found some change. My order was almost ready when the ladies from honey greens sent over drinks! They were making content and were going to give away the drinks but decided to give them to Tru Bowl, the ladies offered me one so I walked out with an amazing bowl for breakfast AND and perfect matcha latte read more

I will go 3-4 times a week for a few months. Was looking forward to use their points a free smoothie because they are not cheap. Well guess what every time I reached the 15k pts they were 800 pts gone. Very weird . Contacted email never got back at me, asked the staff to let manager call me, never heard back, finally on ig they followed up they added some points after I explained the situation, again ready to use my pts they were gone again. No one uses my account. Again reached out via ig account and asked manager to call me on last visit i went. Never heard back and ig account this time the ignored me! Will never go back or suggest this place again. I always tip as well and they never suggested anything, reminder u to log in for pts, or had calorie count on items either or stater that drinks had agave! So unprofessional overall!! Not worth spending my $ here anyway!! read more

I love tru broel and was so excited to try this one as I do live in Downey. I was driving out to the south Whittier location and I love that one so much.

The quality of these açaí bowls is so good! The fruit is always fresh. My favorite aspect is how *not too sweet* the bases are. They are perfectly so slightly sweetened. They do not overshadow the toppings flavors at all. The staff works so hard to fill all orders. They need more seating and staff but it's 5 stars for me so far! read more
