5 Best Acai Bowls in Los Angeles

The summer is officially over. But when it comes to acai bowls in Los Angeles, old habits die hard. Luckily, the weather in Los Angeles still asks for cool ice-cream-like dessert or breakfast that the acai bowls are perfect for.

That’s right, breakfast! According to the majority of nutritionists, acai berries, the main ingredient of the acai bowls, are powerful superfoods that support the immune system, boost energy, facilitate sleep and fight dreadful aging and inflammatory processes. Not bad for tiny berries!

This tropical food is not just another healthy trend. It has been a staple diet of the Brazilian population for centuries. Even today in many Amazonian villages, acai berries make up almost half of the daily caloric intake.

Different Versions of Acai Bowls

There are many different ways to prepare acai berries. You can throw them into your exotic hot chocolates, energy-packed drinks, cocktails, and acai jams made with figs, ginger, chocolate, honey, and vanilla. And there is definitely no shortage of places in Los Angeles where you can get your favorite acai bowls.

Interestingly enough, the original recipe is actually savory and contains shrimp or dried fish, tapioca, and guarana. People in the northern regions of Brazil still prefer this dish over countless sweet variations a.k.a. yummy acai bowls that are so popular in Los Angeles.

I follow the majority in my dietary choices and prefer acai bowls served with fruits and other tasty toppings. I was indulging in these super delicious and nutritious bowls all summer long and I’m definitely not slowing down yet.

SunLife Organics was started by a former Skid Row drug addict who became obsessed with health and opened a few stores in LA with a mission to love, heal, and inspire. We first stumbled upon one of these stores in Pasadena (currently closed).

SunLife Organics prides itself on using 100% certified organic, wildcrafted, pesticide and gluten free ingredients. Apart from acai bowls, the store offers organic juices, smoothies, shakes, and other fruit bowls. When in Los Angeles, give SunLife Organics‘s acai bowls a try. Be warned, though, they may set the bar too high in terms of what you will want your next acai bowl in Los Angeles to be like.

2. Rock’n Juice

4. Bowl of Heaven

Update: Bowl of Heaven stores in Santa Monica and Westlake Village are permanently closed.

Flavorful acai berries are that powerful force that attracts people to a small, yet cute superfood stop in Westlake Village called Bowl of Heaven. The cafe’s guests can choose from a variety of super-fruit blends and any number of add-ons, such as fresh fruits, nuts, and granola to create their perfect bowls.

I can’t get over their Brazilian Bowl. This acai sorbet topped with hemp and flax seeds, granola, kiwis, banana, and honey is out of this world.

5. RioZonas Acai

Address: 12215 Ventura Blvd, Ste. 104, Studio City, CA 91604

Do you want to get a piece of Brazil in Los Angeles? Then go straight to RioZonas Acai in Studio City. Upbeat music, artwork in Brazilian motifs, and of course Brazil-native super healthy acai… Wouldn’t you feel like you are somewhere in Rio de Janeiro?

Before getting my acai bowls from RioZonas Acai, I read dozens of reviews. Many people rank it number one for the distinguishing taste of their acai bowls, which is very similar to those served in Brazil. I am not sure about number one, but I have definitely included it in my top five places to eat acai bowls in Los Angeles.

If you decide to stop by at RioZonas Acai, take my advice and build your own acai bowl using the ingredients that speak to your heart. Or well… tongue in this case. And don’t forget to add dark chocolate and almond butter for a creamy consistency with a bit of crunchiness.

    I love Acai bowls too and I know the cafes who serve good ones around Sydney. I was looking for it when I was in LA but we were only in the downtown area so I haven’t seen one. Nice and yummy shots dear!

      Oh, so sorry. I am surprised you did not find any acai places in downtown.
