Absolutely love this place! Hands down the best acai bowls…so fresh and delicious. Doesn’t compare to any other açaí bowl I’ve had at other places. Been meaning to try their savory dishes but whenever I get there I can’t resist ordering an açaí bowl. They’re very considerate and accommodating of my daughter’s food allergies as well!

Ordered the Nutty Acai Bowl and loved the crunch! Order came out pretty quickly. Acai was a good level of sweetness, and I enjoyed the heaping of peanut butter. There are a few tables inside. Wish the portion were bigger for its price, but overall, a solid breakfast meal

Really wanted a smoothie, and this was the right place. We were immediately acknowledged when we walked in the door, and the gentleman that took our order was pleasant. Place is cozy and clean. We took a seat while we waited for the drinks and when they were finished they walked the drinks over to us, which was a nice touch, instead of yelling our order out. We ordered the Hartford Kaler (w. fresh ginger) and it was very good. None of the flavors were overpowering, it was a good blend, even with the Ginger. I like the coconut water they used, wasn't super watery.

Small, cozy atmosphere with limited seating. The acai bowls are actually a blend of acai and other fruit, which makes frown appear larger. Kind service, but recommend their smoothies more than their bowls.

Although the toppings were abundant for a rather small acai bowl, the acai base itself was disappointing, tasting more like a berry smoothie than acai. Not to mention, the base tasted almost watered down. There are only a few spaces for indoor seating, and no outdoor seating. However, the service was very quick and the workers were friendly.

Delicious Pink Panther smoothie and reasonably priced.

This place is dope. Almost every time I buy a smoothie I think “I can make a better smoothie at home,” but not here. The Hass-ta La Vista never gets old.

There are many açaí/smoothie cafés in New Haven but this definitely my all-time favorite! The fruit is fresh; the açaí is blended really well and always the perfect consistency. It's not too sugary either. My go-tos are the classic and the nutty açaí bowls. I've only ordered via Snackpass. The man working behind the counter is kind and efficient. The bowls were always ready by the estimated pickup time and are kept refrigerated until you get there. The interior is cozy, quiet, and clean - I can definitely see myself reading/studying here.

Best acai bowls and smoothies in New Haven, hands down. At almost every other place I've been to in the NY/CT area, the acai and smoothie blends are never ice-y enough & as a result, melt quickly. Life Bowls has the perfect balance -- I never feel like I'm racing to finish. My favorites are the very berry acai bowl and the purple rain smoothie. I love the strength of the fresh ginger in the latter, esp. when I'm not feeling too well! The guy who works here is also always patient and kind.

Life Bowls is my favorite place to get a fruit bowl in town! The consistency of the bowls are perfect; you feel like you're eating a thiccc acai bowl instead of a runny smoothie. Their selections aren't too sweet, and you can often get good deals on Snackpass!

Life Bowls got the highest ratings on Yelp among places with Acai bowls in New Haven so I wanted to try it out. We did a pick up and got a few different bowls and salads (Budda bowls). The acas bowls were really good without being too overly sweet. The Buddha bowls were ok ish. I will surely be back to try the other acai/pitaya bowls.
