Stopped in today to try an açaí bowl and it was sooo yummy! The girls working were very helpful and offered samples. I ended up mixing açaí and coconut base with fresh fruit and almonds. I can’t wait to bring my family with me next time!

I absolutely love this place! The 16oz OG açaí bowl is my go-to—everything is so fresh, from the base to the toppings, and it’s incredibly refreshing every time. The staff is super sweet and always helpful, making the experience even better. Plus, the reggae music playing and the palm tree vibes create such a relaxing atmosphere—it feels like a little escape to the islands right here in Merced. Highly recommend!

Finally got a chance to try it. This place is definitely a 5 Stars Acai in Merced. Reasonable price like a major store but better. Around $11 for a bowl. Plenty of portions for a couple. So yummy. The bad part is it's on a spot where no one goes unless you know where you are going. Hopefully they grow and move to another spot where people can see it from the street.

I’ve only been here twice and every time I’ve been greeted kindly. I came with a group and the man taking orders was patient with every single one of us. I highly recommend this place not only for the service but also taste. Every person who I’ve brought here has had a lot of good things to say and are always fighting back the urge for seconds.
