Paid $14+ for a bowl of toppings and a couple of tablespoons of actual açaí. So bummed.

Really decent smoothie bowl shop! I was surprised to see a smooth bowl location that could customize so easily. A lot of the places I have visited before do not allow much customization because of pre-made bowls and they never customize without charging extra. I really enjoyed that about this place! The staff here were really kind and the owner was really sweet! It was a nice quaint location with a cool ambience. It had a lot of fresh colors and accents and it gave a nice vibe. The location was perfect next to the Newport station and its close to the Hudson which Made eating with a view great! I would highly recommend the acai base. I was the biggest fan of the blue narwhal but I understand how it could be a fan favorite for those who love coconut! Overall, I'd go again and really recommend it!Vegetarian options: All bowls were vegetarian. They were great about keeping common allergens separate.

The star of the show at The North Bowl is undeniably the acai bowls. The bowls were a visual delight, resembling vibrant canvases adorned with a medley of fruits, nuts, and granola. Each bite was a burst of freshness, as the velvety acai base harmonized with the crisp textures of the toppings. The balance of sweet and tart flavors showcased the careful selection and quality of the ingredients.One standout among the House Specials was the "Blue Narwhal," featuring a blue coconut base with strawberries and blueberry. The tropical symphony of flavors transported me to a beachside paradise, making it a refreshing choice that left me yearning for more. The customizable options allowed for a personalized experience, ensuring that every bowl catered to individual preferences.The smoothies at The North bowl were equally impressive, offering a refreshing alternative for those on the go. The "Leify Greens" smoothie, with kale, pineapple, and a touch of avocado, was a revitalizing potion that energized both my body and taste buds. The use of fresh, high-quality ingredients was evident, making each sip a nutritious and enjoyable experience.The North Bowls commitment to health and sustainability was evident in their sourcing practices. Locally sourced fruits and eco-friendly packaging demonstrated a dedication to both community and the environment, adding an extra layer of satisfaction to the dining experience.In conclusion, The North Bowl is a shining star in the realm of acai bowls and smoothies. The thoughtfully crafted menu, vibrant ambiance, and commitment to quality make it a standout choice for those seeking a wholesome and flavorful culinary adventure. Whether you're a health-conscious individual or simply someone in search of a delicious treat, The North Bowl is sure to leave you with a taste of pure bliss, making it a go-to spot for acai enthusiasts and smoothie aficionados alike.

The Blue Narwhal bowl is the best mix between tasty and picturesque!! The coconut in it was super creamy and refreshing. I also got the Pink Yeti smoothie. The staff was super attentive and quick to answer any questions I had. Can’t wait to come back!

Best açaí in Jersey City! The staff is super friendly and welcoming. My recommendation for the sandwich is definitely the hot honey avocado. Last time I came I got the tiger tea latte which was perfect for the cold day. Will definitely be back!!

Took the Avocado sandwich, the bread wasn’t properly toasted also the avocado layer was so thin, was thinking of it to be good satisfying lunch but didn’t turn out that. The avocado also tasted bitter, no idea how old it was. Also this was for $9.50, not at all worth.

So I've been a long time supporter of this acai spot – used to order from Frutta Bowls often, and when they rebranded too I'd visit fairly often in mornings.But this is so outrageous! Since rebranding their portion sizes have gotten smaller, to the point where I visited last week and this is what they gave me (see picture). Two mini bowls with around an inch of acai in each, for a total of 25$. That is so absurd and honestly their service isn't generally the greatest.I will say that most visits the mini bowl is packed pretty full. It's made differently by different people which I've always been confused by (sometimes people forget toppings pretty often, sometimes the toppings are on the bottom instead of the top, just very inconsistent) and on the days that the bowl is well made I am a happy camper, even if it's a bit pricy. But giving me this is really awful, and if it was due to something like running low on acai (giving them the benefit of the doubt) they should have just told me they only had enough materials to make 1 bowl. Otherwise if they're just skimping, well, that's awful.

This is a great shop with a really friendly staff. After getting reccs from the gentleman working there, I ordered The North Bowl, which was delicious, and one of their drinks: the Tiger Tea Latte. Listen — as a non-coffee drinker, I'm always looking for exciting hot drink alternatives, and this one was INCREDIBLE! Not too sweet, but with a nice hint of cinnamon and cardamom. I recommend exactly what I ordered, though I bet everything on the menu is just as good!
