Blue Bowl is a spot to score açai bowls.

This new business offers create-your-own smoothie bowls, with bases like acai, pitaya and steel cut oats. Toppings include strawberries, goji berries, flax seeds, cacao nibs and assorted granolas. Check out the full list of ingredients here.

Blue Bowl currently holds five stars out of 71 reviews on Yelp, indicating good reviews.

Yelper Kelley N., who reviewed Blue Bowl on Aug. 12, wrote, "...If you like açai bowls, Blue Bowls is a must. It is a little bit different from some açai places since their açai is not a blend; it is pure açai. I find it sweeter and tastier that way. There is so much to choose from to add onto your bowl, which makes your bowl worth the money you pay."

Yelper Jennie K. noted, "...There are numerous toppings consisting of nuts, nut butters, seeds, fruit, etc.  If you don't like açai you can actually have a different base such as pitaya or matcha or both. There are endless combinations that you can make."

Blue Bowl is open from 7 a.m.–7 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m.–6 p.m. on Saturday. (It's closed on Sunday.)
