A dedicated list rounding up Austin’s best acaí bowls for your spooning pleasure brought to you in collaboration with the Austin Food Blogger’s Alliance annual City Guide.

Did you know that when you Google ‘best acaí bowls Austin’, the first thing that pops up is a Yelp list of bowls that isn’t very helpful.  In all my searching, I wasn’t unable to find a single list that sourced only acaí bowl recommendations.  Sure, there were lists for best bowls which also included grain and buddha-type bowls, or best juice and smoothies, but I wanted a list exclusively for acaí bowls which is why, I created my own.

Blenders & Bowls Endless Summer & Chill Berry Bowls

So, in no particular order, I introduce to you, my Guide to Austin’s Best Acaí Bowls!

Blenders & Bowls

Let’s just start off with the queen of Austin acaí bowls (yes, queen, not king because this cafe is all female owned!). I love Blenders & Bowls thick acaí base, the ability to customize the bowl with collagen, protein, maca, or drippy delicious nut butters which allows customers to truly make it their own. Plus, they’re always adding new seasonal blends to keep you coming back for more! My favorites are the Endless Summer and The O.G. but I often find myself drawn to their new seasonal creations that may include pumpkin, lemonade, or mint!

Daily Juice

While Daily Juice has a limited acaí menu, they do acaí bowls right.  The Chocolate Almond and Nutter Butter bowls are perfect as a hearty meal or can serve as a delicious dessert option.  I also love that their toppings include hemp seeds & puffed rice.

Whole Foods

Yup! Whole Foods is also in on the acaí bowl game! Their single bowl offering is worth a try, topped with a crunchy flaxseed granola, kiwi and seasonal fruit.

Sunlife Organics

Kale Me Krazy

Vitality Bowls Superfood Cafe

Looking for a place North of downtown to satisfy your acaí bowl craving?  Then check out the menu at Vitality Bowls, offering 14 different acaí options along with the ability to customize to your liking.  They even offer a dessert bowl with coconut, dark chocolate chips, and strawberries.

Vida Pure Juicery

Vida Pure not only serves unique juices and smoothie options but they’re also blending up acaí bowls made with their house almond mylk.  What makes these bowls unique, is the granola on the bottom of their Black Mamba and Pura Brazil options.

JuiceLand Acaí Bowl

Juiceland

One of Austin’s OG juice café is also offering acaí bowls (at their city locations and at the airport so you can get one before you jet set).  What’s unique here is the coconut butter drizzle to finish the bowl.  The coconut butter hardens when mixed into the cold acaí adding texture and crunch to the bowl! While still a great bowl, my only wish here is that JuiceLand’s acaí was a tad thicker as right now it inches more towards slush than thick acaí.

So tell me, what acaí bowl is your favorite?  Are there any missing that should be added to the list?
