NmOctober 12, 2017The heaven of breakfast bowls !! So simple but yet so delicious & impressive .. Very friendly staff ..
Geoff ReinhardtOctober 11, 2015One of the best acai bowls I've ever had. A must-have while you're in Santa Barbara.
JordanSeptember 21, 2014Diego's Power Bowl is bomb! Acaì with banana, hemp seeds, granola + optional honey. I used to come here like crazy when I lived in SB!
Popeye in para para Paradise! It's the Popeye with a "tropical" twist. ;) Still has all the greens with the ginger and lime, but it's made with pineapple juice and coconut milk instead of apple juice.
- The Backyard and the Island bowls are so yummy. I would jump into the bowls if I could!
- If you have an iPhone, get the Backyard Bowls app instead of calling in! It's faster and you already pay for your bowl. All you have to do is come in and pick it up!
Larissa BanittFebruary 9, 2018The island bowl was great! It was my first casi bowl experience and it was delicious. 😁
Dean HudsonSeptember 22, 2014Amazingly good acai bowls covered in strawberries and bananas! The large is massive, small is more than enough
Daniela Sanchez VinascoJanuary 30, 2019The strawberry bowls is delicious. It’s a good place for work or eat alone.
TeiaAugust 6, 2012U can make many of the things they make here for half the price! Need to find açai berries. Costcos the answer 10$ worth of food that could make 3-4 servings of the same thing but much better quality!
samantha lipariAugust 5, 2013The Island bowl is the best! The food is so fresh and yummy, a Santa Barbara favorite!
Tim RAugust 14, 2013Cool place. But they don't make new pots of coffee after 11.30. Bad news if you need caffeine with your bowl
OMGICUMay 2, 2011Wanna feel fast? Have some kombucha. Feeling furious? Calm down with some acai. Feeling fast AND furious? You might just be movie star Paul Walker, who noms his bee pollen here.
- Gonna throw in another vote for the Island Bowl but with bee pollen instead if coconut shavings.
- try a large berry bowl with no bananas and sub blueberries then add a splash of yogurt...mmmmm
You can add peanut butter to your bowl or smoothie and I encourage it.
