Delicious açaí bowls. We ordered a very large order for a meeting this week and picked up. They were so yummy and were even ready earlier than they said. They helped me take them to the car. Don't be shy about ordering a large quantity here! read more

I rarely crave smoothies and I usually have them 1-2x a year. Today was that day and I decided to get a smoothie from Verve Bowls. I had the Tropic Thunder (description says - "expertly blended pineapples and mangoes in coconut oil, lemonade, coconut milk and agave. Refreshing and smooth"). It came in 16oz container and was refreshing and really good! There were 3-4 pieces of pineapples at the bottom, so I'm not sure about the expertly blended part, but it doesn't really take away from the smoothie quality. Staff seemed energetic and it was overall a good vibe. I ordered the smoothie online for pickup around 10:30 am and it came out super fast. read more

Only tried the smoothies (renewed and recovery) and for the price they were no where good enough. Flavors were off and the recovery smoothie tasted bland. I could have made better smoothies at home for much cheaper. Not worth the money spent. read more

I paid $20 for a smoothie bowl and what I received was laughably small. The bowl was barely half full . For that price, I expected a generous, satisfying portion -- not something that could fit in a kid's snack cup. read more

Free wifi, water, and washroom makes this establishment a good spot to bring your laptop and unwind. There's ample seating along the windows which gives a cozy vibe on rainy days. Some ambient background music would make this place a vibe. As far as the food goes, the strawberries were mushy and slightly spoiled. Also, the Acai was more runny than I would have liked, I usually go for a thicker mix. read more

Such a yummy smoothie bowl!! The consistency is perfectly frozen and smooth. The fresh fruit is perfectly ripe as well. I cannot stop eating it. The service was efficient, and the employees were very kind and accommodating. They use house-made almond milk in all of their bowls, and I think that's cool when any restaurant/cafe has house made recipes. Although, I have an almond allergy. Usually, it's an up charge for subbing the milk, but they made an exception because of my allergy, which I really appreciate. I got coconut milk instead. It was loud inside, but obviously that's common at smoothie places. The indoor seating had cushions on the seats, which I love, because I love to be comfortable. I ended up taking my smoothie bowl to go because it's a sunny day and it was so loud in there. Perfect midday snack!! read more

Im so sorry to post this but I'm doing it to remind myself to not come here again. I came here a few years ago and it was pretty good but the most recent time I came this year, omg this tasted so bland. I was trying to escape the heat that day so I came in here to get the good morning sunshine. The fruits were not sweet at all and didn't really taste that fresh either. The açaí itself was not good either. It just all tasted very icy and bland. I miss Hawaii and delicious açaí bowls :( the funny thing is I told my friend that I dropped by here to try the bowl and she said I should've told her earlier because she had it before and thought it was so bad. read more

My sister and I decided to give this place a try and was definitely not disappointed. After trying out their smoothie bowls, I can rightfully say that this place has my favourite açai and smoothie bowls. Verve bowls include a wide array of different flavours, topping combinations and smoothie bases on their menu. Each bowl can be customisable and come in an assortment of unique colours. From their menu, they use natural ingredients such as blue spirulina powder, red pitaya, and turmeric to create those BOWLD and vibrant colours. I would definitely recommend asking for honey and granola on your bowls as they provide additional sweetness and texture in every bite. The customer service is immaculate and the employees working there are incredibly kind. There is an option to order for pickup on their app, however I decided to order in store. It was relatively fast and you can see them preparing your order while you wait. There were several other orders ahead of mine since they offer Postmates, however I was able to receive mine with little waiting time. For smoothie bowls, the prices here range from $10+ which is pretty average. Order: Deja blue and Beast Mode was pretty nice however, I would opt out of the peanut butter for beast mode next time. The deja blue was tarte itself however the addition of granola was a nice added touch. You can customise your bowl to your liking, add more toppings, however I just stuck with regular provided toppings. They also have different sizes for your bowls: regular and large. Parking: Difficult to find since there is 2 hour MAX street parking. read more

It is a unique flavor, and if you like sweet smoothies, this may not be for you. But if it makes you feel healthier to drink something green, I didn't think it was that bad. read more

Got the Bee Green, which is spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, ginger, bee pollen, house made lemon juice, and water. It was the only green smoothie on the menu so I went with that one. I hate that I'm hating on a green smoothie because I've never had a bad one. this one is hands down the worst I've ever had. Has a weird taste to it and I can't figure out what it is. Not sure where or how things went wrong. All the ingredients should make for a great tasting green smoothie but my boyfriend and I were both immediately confused about what this taste was. There's both too much lemon juice and something else that I don't know how to describe. For a $10+ smoothie? Straight disappointed. read more

Amazing Acai Bowls. I felt really healthy after eating avo toast and tropical acai bowl, had sweet & ripe mango, pineapple, coconut, vanilla granola, and a super-food called hemp heart (looks like furikake, but taste nutty) and acai was fire! Nice tunes playing and super sweet gals working the counter, warm & welcoming. Audrey and Samila. Avo toast had a nice seasoning like olive oil and little garlic/salt. So yummy. Can't wait to come back. read more

Verve bowls is pretty consistent and one of my go to spots for smoothies and bowls. Today I got the vervacious bowl, which is acai berry and peanut butter base. Overall a good bowl with perfect ratio of base/toppings/granola. This one is pretty nutty so if you don't like PB don't get it! My one complaint is today the bananas were overripe, so when you bit into them they kind of immediately mushed into the smoothie base. This is the first time I've experienced this at Verve Bowls - usually the bananas are perfectly ripe. Though this isn't enough to deter me from another visit, I may like the Capitol Hill location better than the Ballard one. read more

Verve Bowl is so good!!!! This one is located in Ballard rather than in Cap Hill. Glad they opened one up in Ballard as it is closer to where I live. This location is fairly new and in a new building too in case you like new Slightly bigger location with more tables and sitting area, or you can eat it on the sidewalk like I did. Same to similar menu as the Cap Hill location, but I did see one bowl that I have never seen before. I decided to get the "Chocolate My Heart" acai bowl. It was pretty darn good, acai blended with strawberries, banana and almond milk. They do put more strawberries, bananas on top with some granola and vegan chocolate chips. Nice blend of ingredients, was super tasty, refreshing on a warm day after work out. Ahhhhh! One noticeable hiccup is your acai bowl takes a while to make, a few times I've been here, it's been near 20 mins or so until I get my bowl. Yea, I get that it gets busy at times but as you stand their waiting, you can't help but to look at how they process the orders. Still a huge fan of their acai bowls but it took a while. Staff was friendly, nice looking location, worth coming by either location in Seattle. read more

Tasty, Fresh, clean however, all SBOs know customer service, reputation is everything within communities especially post COVID. The entire staff needs (Re) training and lessons in customer service 101, first impressions SAY alot about the buisness and the owner. Not a single person over age of 25 of that staff I bet...this was my first time here. I personally, woman of color, mid 30s: (server was young, brunette didn't look a day over 21 with curly hair) looked mad at world. Took my order forgot detail, when I waited ten minutes i asked for water and agáve and not once did she said sorry. Very entitled, poor mannerisms looked highly annoyed when I asked and then the icing. Another similar looking women like myself (WOC) waited approx 5 minutes before they even greeted her!!!! Disgusting and very pro white vibes in this cafe'. I will never eat in here again I will only order. The behavior of all them is making me sick!!!!! Also observed a lot of confusion, the brunette girl didn't once acknowledge when someone said thank you. She goes "mmm hmmm" that is terrible customer service. These kids need a reality check!!!!! Hold the side bars, and love affairs going on at the door. Get a older manager this isn't a good flow. read more

I wish acai bowls are more of a 'thing' here in Seattle. This is one of those millennial superfoods that I fully support, even if it does cost quite a bit. My friend and I came in on an incredibly sunny Sunday afternoon and they were definitely busy. But service was prompt and the employees were friendly as well. The store is immensely clean-feeling and spacious. We saw a group working on their laptops, which the idea of it seems pretty relaxing - until you realize the crazy loud "pulsing" noises from the blenders. I would much rather prefer to grab & go or just enjoy a quick snack here instead. We ordered the Berry Yum and Good Morning Sunshine, both slightly different in taste due to the fruits that are in the acai base. Berry Yum is made with strawberry, blueberry and banana, while the GMS was comprised of mango, pineapple, and banana. Both were topped with more fresh fruits and my favorite - the granola. The GMS was my favorite out of the two, but I am excited to try out some of their other menu items next time... with extra granola topping of course! read more

Came here on February 10th before I went to my manicure at Urban Nail Box. I thought it would be quick, but they were packed. They were so busy that some of us were standing in line for awhile before someone came to take our order, having a customer service background it would have been nice to see someone at least register that we were there. I think one of people making the bowls and smoothies were in training which could have been the reason it took awhile for our orders. I ordered a small Good Morning Sunshine acai smoothie bowl to go. Was so yummy even though it was cold outside I still enjoyed the it. All the fruit was so fresh and the granola which was more like puffed rice added a nice texture. I've been wanting to try a bowl for a long time and was excited when I heard one was coming to Ballard. Looking forward to trying one of pitaya bowls next time, and hopefully catching the place when it's a little less hectic. Would definitely like eat there next time, I love the plant wall! read more

The person who took my order also prepared my order. The soup was slimy and had a strange smell. The grilled cheese sandwich was soggy from the excessive sauerkraut on top and the size. The cheese was not fully melted and it was a very disappointing experience both texture and flavor-wise. I also got a tofu sandwich and it's literally raw tofu thinly sliced and looks absolutely anemic. I would never recommend this cafe to anyone due to the cleanliness, food quality, and lack of care for flavor.

The food took an hour-- clearly understaffed. I was very hangry and frustrated but didn't say anything. The staff knew it and knocked off 50% off. They were kind and empathetic-- and that alone deserves 5 stars. Okay things happen! But just hoping these issues are resolved. The food was absolutely banging. The Cajun fries with the spicy Srirancha is a must order. Perfectly crispy thick cut fry with some magic seasoning on top makes us demolish this quickly. My friend got the Oxacan bowl-- what flavors. The rice, slaw, veggies, beans and the sauces were perfection in every bite. My Bahn Mi bowl was okay-- i found the sauces too vinegary so this one is on me.

The food was very good and fresh - it didn't feel like they put frozen or microwaved stuff together at all like sometimes vegan options feel like. The vibes were really nice too - the outside patio is dog friendly and they brought our pup a water bowl too. If you want alcohol though you need to be inside or on the back patio (not pet friendly). Will definitely be back to eat my way through more of their menu items!

And clean too!

The staff helping us recommended we just choose another bowl without that specific fruit. It was kinda hard because most of the bowls had the same fruits in them so that limited our choice to one-- the bowl we ended up getting.

I've been coming here for a few years now and then I left the city but whenever I do come back, I make sure to make a pit stop here. Why? Work is right next door to it. So that helps. But also, I feel like the veggies and fruits here are fresh, crisp, and tastier than other places. However... I do feel like prices are a bit higher than last time I was here a couple of months ago. They have parking in the back. It's small and getting in and out alive is a miracle each time. But it exist. If you elect to park on the street, parking enforcement is out everywhere and so be weary. I like their hot bar and salad bar. Always a rotation of items that keeps it busy interesting over time. What I don't think they are good for is snacks. Sometimes I just want something simple and not healthy and this place ain't it. I think this place is better for medium size shops.

This place is the best combo of health goals and "I don't hate myself, so I actually want the food I eat to taste amazing". Delicious and healthy and you can take a great insta pic with their adorable wall! Pro tip: Try their vervetella and avocado toast (Separately, of course) Nutella with less guilt? YES PLEASE! And their bread is to die for! 10/10 would recommend! Thank God they got a second location! read more

I love coming here for smoothies and açaí bowls! Everyone is very nice and are just over all super friendly to customers! They're great with adding suggestions to the different drinks and bowls to change it up! I also like the aesthetic of the store. A lot of natural light, very clean, and good for taking photos of your food (if that's what you're into). read more

They always close super early due to "short staff", I'm sure you have enough money to hire someone else. You would think if you were going to be leaving 4 hours before the posted close time for months in a row, that you would get access to the Google page to update when you're closing early. Capitol Hill location saved the day. read more

In all seriousness, North Seattle has been lacking in the "cool cafe" department. You know, the one you go into and you feel like it's a place that you'd actually want to hang out. Not just grab a coffee and split. One that will put you in a position where you can't decide if it's time for a coffee or a beer. That's Pacha. The vibes are immaculate here, and every time I come there seems to be more and more energy. I walked in on a Friday afternoon and they had a huge projector playing a World Cup match. The local matcha drinkers were going wild as Egypt cruised along to a victory. My Americano was fantastic, which is table stakes for a Seattle cafe. But the folks taking the order and making the drinks were full of energy and cracking jokes, love to see people enjoying their work. The breakfast burrito was surprisingly good for a cafe, and came with a beautiful aioli. You could tell that they take their burrito-craft very seriously. A thoroughly grilled, well-tucked burrito was an excellent complement to my coffee.

My matcha was quite weak - I got one of the medium sizes and I think they probably put the same amount of matcha as the smallest size because it tasted like just milk, and the matcha wasnt super vibrant green like it should be, but rather a more dulled yellow green like it was somewhat oxidated. I make a lot of matcha at home and order it a lot at my favorite matcha shops so I feel like I can see and taste the difference. It was also supposed to have a lemon cold foam but I didn't taste it at all - just the flowers on top that gave it a bit of flair. As for the coffee, the Xanat, it was quite milky (again, coffee flavors not shining through, which either means the brew wasn't strong enough and/or they added too much milk). The added flavors to that drink were fun but also not shining through well. Overall, would love to try them again just for the ambiance and to support a local mexican owned shop (the owners seem so sweet!), but is it my favorite place quality wise? Not quite.
