We swung in to get a couple smoothies after a hike. Good location and a lot of street side parking with a lot across the street. The smoothies were really good and we both added whey protein for an extra 1$. The price was steeepppp! 16.00$ each which seems quite overpriced and inflated. A great smoothie but I'll probably not come back as doesn't seem reasonably price. 9-12$ would be reasonable and they are a very typical normal size as well. Service was great with a self order. Newer updated interior with a nice ambiance.

None of your business poop

The food was amazing. The new trainer lady was putting protein powder in the wrong bowl, but the bowl was still still flames ?. Just kidding about the powder tho

Yummy , very good! Kinda on the pricey side but I guess to be expected for the area. Service was really good -- I feel they went above and beyond in that department.

Really good bowls. I love that they make it fresh right in front of you though it does make the wait a little longer. Nice sitting area in the store as well. The main issue is the price $17 for a small and $21 for a regular. One of the most expensive bowls I've seen good but overpriced in my opinion

It was my first time trying this place. I tried their açaí bowl and it was amazing. Customer service was excellent. I was able to customize my bowl the way I wanted it. I'm definitely coming back again.

Probably the best acai bowl in town. The way the worker was able to accommodate my allergy requests and make the acai bowl still taste great was amazing. Definitely will be back for more.

It was my second time coming to Barebowls to grab a smoothie for me and my family after my morning workout. Everything on the menu looked good but what caught my eye was the add ons and the ingredients they used. The add ons included collagen, mct oil, plant protein option, chlorella, and so many other stuff that I rarely see in other acai shops in town.As to their price, it was definitely higher than other places but I think it makes sense because the lady in the front explained to me how they use local vendors and mostly organic stuff.Overall definitely will be back for the acai bowl and smoothie.Vegetarian options: Everything on the menu was vegetarian friendlyDietary restrictions: They were dairy free, gluten free and vegan

Wow this place has gone downhill. Their prices are criminal. I lived in NY and LA, no açaí bowl was this expensive with fresh ingredients. I remember when they first opened - great service and the best açaí bowls I had ever had. Now, the service is bad, I’ve gone a number of times during operating hours where they are closed. The quality is NOT the same - I do not know if they don’t know how to make certain menu items or what the deal is. I’m convinced it’s new ownership. Sad, but all good things do come to an end.

Very pricey for what you get - almost $20 for a standard açaí bowl! In addition, service was mediocre. Will not return.

honestly not the biggest fan of bare bowls. i remember coming here a while ago, and it seems like the price has increased significantly over time while the taste is not as great. this time, i tried the BDOML (best day of my life) bowl, which contained pitaya blended with peanut butter, banana, strawberry, and cashew milk and topped with granola, banana, and hemp seeds. overall, it tasted pretty mediocre. the flavors didn't quite mesh together well and it definitely wasn't worth the 18 or so dollars i paid.the inside of the store is rather vibey and i enjoyed the decor. however, it did look a bit messy and not super well kept. service was also pretty mediocre. overall, i couldn't say i recommend stopping here for acai bowls.

Purchased this cardinal bowl for literally 12$ for a mini. I've been going to this place for years and it used to be awesome but now the quality has gone way down. 12$ for this bowl is outrageous for something that looks this horrible. Not only was it straight up liquid but there also wasn't even granola in it. I'll be taking my business elsewhere from now on

Their hours state that they close at 4 but they shut down their register 20 minutes before closing time and refused to take other

Best açaí bowls I’ve ever had!

Flavor was yummy as usual. I ordered a regular size bowl. The strawberries where not sliced up, they where huge! They where probably to lazy to slice them. Not happy since it was for a toddler. For the price o expect it to be perfect.
