Palm Açai Café - Berkeley

The rise has cold brew, banana, and peanut butter more, basically the perfect breakfast.

This is my favorite place for acai bowls. The ingredients seem high quality, the customer service is great, they have great options, and they are consistently tasty. My only complaints that they close sooo early!

After hearing a lot about this café, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Gatherer acai bowl, which features a base of acai, strawberries, bananas, and cashew milk, topped with strawberries, goji berries, blueberries, almond butter, bee pollen, sliced almonds, raw honey, and granola. I would have liked a little more honey. The base wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciated, and it wasn't too watery like some acai bowls I've had in the past. However, I think they could have made it thicker, as it started to melt within five minutes of being served. Additionally, it was quite pricey for the small portion I received. While it wasn't the best acai bowl I've had, it was fairly average. They do offer a variety of interesting ingredients for the base and toppings, allowing you to mix and match to your heart's content. For instance, they even have activated charcoal and coconut chia pudding.

This place is amazing! It has the best açaí we've had in the USA so far. We just visited another açaí spot that was half the size and served a poorly made açaí for a much higher price. Thank you so much for a great experience!

I felt really relaxed and welcomed as soon as I walked in. As for the food, I ordered the Gather Bowl and also tried the Dragon Bowl. You honestly can’t go wrong with either choice. The flavors of both bowls were spot on, and the fruits were incredibly fresh. Overall, I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5.
