Delicious. I just think they need to update the menu all the bowls are to similar (only like 1 ingredient different from the next). I’d go back for a bowl though .

Unmatched truly.... We come from San Jose just to get this because there is nothing like it back home. This the type of acai bowl you need privacy with. The type of bowl that makes you go nonverbal. We love Samba Rock.

SHOULD HAVE READ THE COMMENTS FIRST!! Was visiting Santa Cruz for the day and found this spot on google maps. Was close to my Hotel & seemed decent enough.. YEAH RIGHT!! Ended up at Cafe Brazil MUCH BETTER SPOT MIGHT I ADD!! All the way around. Ordered a kids acai bowl w/granola bananas strawberries & honey.. everyone seemed new & inexperienced whatever.. got the bowl and the acai was FROZEN.. i'm not used to tht and didn't like the texture. Asked cashier if I could kindly get my money back she didn't understand English or how to process a return. Called owner/ manager whomever, instead of her walking in with tact and professionalism she came asking what the problem was.. in a rude tone I explained.. she then went on explaining a bunch of nonsense about where she's from and tht the bowl should not be frozen n how long she's been in the business blah blah lady please just give me my money bck.. but tht didn't happen she continued with her nonsense rant while another lady came our with the same energy telling me what I NEEDED to do.. after all of tht I walked out NO MONEY NO BOWL my PEACE was entirely too precious for any of this. I DO NOT SUGGEST ON CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM OWNER ALONE!!

always a great option for a fresh start to your day. whether it be an açaí bowl or smoothie to drink, you cannot go wrong here. locally-owned authentic offerings, made with quality ingredients by quality individuals.

I love a smooth and yummy acai, for this one I would give a rating of two stars because personally I’m not into the snow cone texture. It’s like I’m chewing sweet ice. I am just used to creamy acai so I am not a fan - also it was 20 bucks for this bowl ?

Best Açaí bowl I’ve ever had. I don’t live in Santa Cruz anymore. And Samba rock is one the the places I miss most. I have yet to find a better acai bowl elsewhere. Samba rock 4 ever!!
Just a really disappointing açaí bowl. Not a lot of toppings or flavors and a pretty measly portion.Dietary restrictions: There actually weren’t a lot of dietary accommodations like grain free granola or substitutions for banana

Great vibe in here, stopped in for some Acai bowls, everything was fresh and on point, they also have little snacks like pao de queijo, and guaraná!

Literally, the best açaí bowl I’ve ever had. Really good. The staff is nice. The only thing is that the prices are pretty expensive, but it’s worth it.

I love the acaì at this place. It’s the best in the area. I like all their options. The fruit is very fresh. The menu is very poorly organized so it’s kind of confusing to figure out at first. The service is pretty slow but I appreciate that they take their time. I disappointed that their prices have gotten so high. When I first starting coming a large was $10 and now it’s $18. It makes it so I can only come as a special treat instead of as a meal out option. I know times are hard for many businesses and prices are going up all over but it’s really too much for me.

I got the Da Silva and added Gogi berries. I am from San Diego where you can find some good acai bowl (My goto spot in SD is Juice Kaboose in La Jolla and their Mega size is around $17). I was excited to try Samba Rock but was disappointed. I wish they gave more acai and the price was much higher than expected.Personally, I recommend the acai bowl at Streamer Lane Supply on the W cliff Drive.
