one word to describe this place: SLOW. It takes 30 minutes for a regular acai bowl. If the cashier wasn’t that nice, this place would’ve been a 2. He was so sweet and kind in telling us which ones were popular and which ones to avoid! PROS: –the acai smoothie was very tasty and blended very well and granola was super crunchy and good with the smoothie! –their acai bowls have granola in both the top and the bottom so you never run out haha –very good customer service! The cashier was new but super sweet and I just felt so at home waiting 30 minutes haha –if you ever come here, I definitely recommend the Sunset bowl! There’s mango inside and coconut flakes~ –hey BUT the good thing is that you can order online! Make sure to order on the way because legit takes forever CONS: –waited thirty minutes for two regular bowls; everyone seemed to be waiting a LONG time –the portions are not that big, its neighbor, BANZAIBOWL, has WAY bigger portions! Inside joke: they make you wait on purpose so that waiting feels like HELL and then you get your bowl of HEAVEN~

I love acai bowls and have been to several different brands. Unfortunately, Bowl of Heaven is my least favorite. They barely give you any granola or fresh fruit topping, and I pay 20% higher than Barefoot Bowl or Acai Republic. The flavor is good but without the granola and mounds of fresh fruit like their competition gives normally at no extra charge, Bowl of Heaven is quite lacking. They need to check out their competition if they want to stay in business.

Took almost 20 minutes for a bowl… and there was only 1 person in front of me. After waiting, i got a cup when i ordered a bowl. Very little fruit in cup and very little granola… just a bunch of sherbert. Go to Nekter instead.

Went today first time. Had the north shore bowl. It was a very small cup for $ 4.50. It’s so small that you have to spoon carefully to eat it. Why not just get a bigger cup and put a little less? There was very little granola on top — maybe a teaspoon spread over it and like two tiny pieces of banana. I don’t get it… They had bags of Paleo granola with two prices on the shelf. On the left side was $ 7.99 and on the right side was $ 5.00 all got the same granola. When I took one from the right side and asked the lady why there are two prices she said«oh they are $ 7.99 there was something else there». Anyway, the right thing to do was to charge the $ 5.00 because that’s what was listed. But she didn’t and I bought it anyway but it was worth the $ 5.00…

Decided to get an Açaí bowl as an afternoon snack and I’ve seen this place because it’s right next to whole foods, so I decided to try! $ 7.99 for a regular size Açaí bowl(WHICHISHUGE, big enough to share) and I got the Red Zinger. It’s on the«tart» list, and it’s not too tart which is nice :) I can taste the ginger which isn’t too spicy and the lime is refreshing. Love the chocolate & raspberry garnish, just REALLY wish there was more fruit on top because there was only a few berries, lol. Overall it was yummy :)

This place is good. It just takes forever to get your order. Not organized at all. I’m here and there is only one person working and a bunch of people ordering. It makes it hard when they are taking orders to make the order. May not come back cause I don’t want to wait 25 – 30 minutes to get my order. This has happened all 3 times I have come. They need to pick up the pace.

Ordered a North Shore and Seasider. Really good acai blends, fresh fruit, and granola. Wish they were a little more generous with the granola. It took more than 25 minutes and there was only 1 other person in the store when we arrived! Despite very good tasting bowls, I probably won’t return unless I have a lot of time to kill and a magazine with me.

I have had the whole menu of Acai bowls and a few of the smoothies and i’m here to tell you, this is the best Acai place around considering flavor, fresh ingredients, portion, price, customer service. This place is hitting on all cylinders, the care they seem to put into these bowls where they even put some of the granola toppings at the bottom so just when you think you ran out of granola, you’re surprised to find some more putting the smile back on you face. If you’re a fool for peanut butter like me, try that one first, but you can’t go wrong either way. Dig it!

I think the time reviews are unfair. if you come at a very obvious busy work hour on a weekend of course you’ll have to wait longer. I go at very odd times since I live locally and I’ve never had one issue. The bowls are outstanding. Way better than nekter and even banzai

It’s amazing that I have been waiting over 20 minutes for my Regular North Shore, and still have time to look up the the corp website and complain. As I’ve been watching, they have managed to also screw up multiple orders. They take your name at the register, but then they bring out an order and have no idea who it is for. It is truly the most inefficient operation I have ever seen. As I write this, they have brought out an order for people after us and are now completely confused what to do. In fact, I still have time to post this on Unilocal.About a dozen people have come and gone. I will be avoiding this place in the future. Not worth it.

I came here after getting coupons at an event for a free acai bowl. I’ll say that the marketing was deceptive… the coupon really said an acai bowl of your choice. However, when I got there, the employee said it was only good for a basic sample-sized bowl. Not a big deal, but certainly something to note on a promotion. The bowl itself was fine… I prefer smoothies when going to places like this, but no complaints. Obviously, if you’re a lover of acai(I happen to know quite a few) it’s a good location to get your fix. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t splurge since it’s not exactly a cheap snack place.

Stopped here and we tried it for the first time this morning. What a disappointment! – Took a really long time to make one bonsai bowl. – Their counter display @ the register shows the three carton sizes for bonsai bowl. BUT when we go the product, it was in a plastic cup. Besides being misrepresented, it’s hard/inconvenient to eat: 1. In the car, 2. Can’t mix it up if you wanted to, 3. Hard to share! – Misers on the fruit. A few pathetic little slices of kiwi, and ONE tiny slice of strawberry. For crying out loud, just add it as a garnish, but DON’T advertise it having fruit when it’s so sad. – Pathetic on the granola, as well. Mostly just frozen stuff. SUMMARY — misrepresented product, pathetic on anything that could actually be healthy for you, and at a premium price. —- SEETHEPICTURES I UPLOADEDFORSUPPORTINGEVIDENCE!

Addiction is right. I eat here almost every day. Every bowl is good. Love it ! My favorite is the PB bowl with chocolate protein added. And also the paradise bowl. I recommend you ask them to switch the apple juice w almond milk.

This place is great and fresh! The juice is great and is made to order. You can even call ahead. My Fav is the North shore soo good.

Simply put, this place is delicious. Yes, it takes a little while to make and yes, it’s perhaps a bit expensive, but it’s so good, and relatively healthy. My personal favorite is the pitaya bowl. The colors and smells tell you that you’re getting something fresh. The employees are friendly, often giving out samples, and I am now craving yet another acai bowl!

This place is so bomb. Their peanut butter bowl is amazing & the juice is really great, too. I love that you can call & order ahead! Wayyy convenient & stoked that it’s right down the street from me. I go way too often, which can get pricey, but it’s seriously an addiction that I don’t care to break. Two thumbs up for their rewards program, too. It’s the reason I keep coming here rather than Nekter. I always order a large which ends up being $ 8.50 but it’s pretty big. It keeps me full for hours! If you do decide to order a juice on the side, however, go with the regular-sized bowl so you aren’t over-stuffed.

Is this what heaven tastes like? Love the name !!! Cute !!! I LOVEACAIBOWLS !!! Setting/ambiance: Conveniently located in a shopping center with plenty of parking. Very vibrant and clean décor. Love the artwork ! See pics ! Wish it was bigger and had indoor seating. It’s more of a grab and go establishment. Fortunately, we found some seating and tables not too far away to enjoy our acai bowls. Menu: Lime-a-Licious — Coconut water, Lime, Maq 7, Acai, Peaches, Pineapple, Blueberries, and Strawberries. Topped with organic hemp flax seed granola, coconut, fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries and honey — Refreshing and light. Not too sweet, but not out of this world either. I’m sure it has some amazing beneficial ingredients, but it wasn’t something I’d crave. I’ve had a few acai bowls in the past and this was just okay. I’ll have to try the others. My favorite part would have to be the granola. North Shore Original Bowl –100% Apple Juice, Maq7, Acai, Banana, Blueberries, and Strawberries. Topped with organic hemp flax seed granola, fresh banana, and honey — Bf enjoyed this and it was quite filling just halfway through for a small size. I agree this can be shared for a light snack to go. I think I enjoyed his more than mine. Popeye –100% Apple Juice, Maq 7, Acai, Spinach, Kale, Banana, Blueberries, Pineapple, Strawberries — Bf enjoyed this and it was pretty thick in consistency. Green Glory –Kale, Spinach, Lemon, Cucumber, Celery, Parsley, Apple — Refreshing and I love getting my daily greens in for the day with a fresh juice ! Yum ! Juices and smoothies are on the pricier side compared to other places. Everything was presented nicely and loved the containers the bowls were in. Service: Friendly and quick — we were the only customers at the time. I can tell everything is made to order(which I expected). Would I be back ? If I’m in the area and looking for a quick healthy snack/refreshment I will. They also sell some organic raw foods, superfoods, their signature Maq 7 acai blend, vegan snacks, etc.

I’m not an avid fitness person, or a hipster, so I did feel out of place here at Bowl of Heaven. Me and the man walked in, amidst the Lululemon-clad ladies, and the flooding-pants and canvas-shoes hipsters, to check this place out. Decent sized menu of acai bowls, juices, and smoothies. Lots of different offerings, with a few shelves of various items(food and non-food). We ordered a Tropicana juice, and it was really good. I enjoyed reading about the various fruits included in their bowls, especially because they’re definitely not ones you can find in your local Whole Foods.

I ordered the North Shore and it was pretty good — granola on the bottom, generous granola servings on top with thinly sliced bananas and honey. The acai mixture was good too — would have been nice to have some fruit chunks in there though. Perhaps that’s why people ask for additional toppings to mix in later. Altogether, not a bad experience. My only complaint was that it took a while to make — probably waited 10 minutes? Not too long though, considering the fruit is all fresh. I would recommend though that the doors be open, or that there be signage denoting that it was open. I couldn’t tell if it was from far away, since it was dark inside. Thanks for a refreshing acai bowl!

Ok, I’ve tried this place a couple more times now, and I’ve decided it’s the best around. Great value for the bowls(which come in 2 or 3 sizes) and the bowls have a lot more variety in them than other places. The granola they use here is SO good and can be switched out for a paleo friendly granola that is also SO good. Customer service is consistently awesome. Way friendlier and nicer than any Nekter I’ve ever visited.(I mean seriously Nekter, the people you hire… smh) The juices are the only weak spot with limited variety and slightly too high pricing, but it’s not that bad. But all in all, this is the place to come for acai bowls. They are AWESOME! Oh, and follow this place on Instagram for deals & discounts! You’re welcome
