Açaí bowl questions, answered
Everything people ask before ordering: what's in the bowls, allergies, sizes, pickup and hours.
Is your açaí soft-serve or pre-made?
No. Miami Bowls uses Grade-A organic açaí imported from Brazil and blends every bowl to order with frozen fruit and juice or non-dairy milk. There's no ice and no fillers.
Is an açaí bowl the same as a smoothie bowl?
Close. An açaí bowl is a thick smoothie bowl whose base is blended açaí berry. Ours is blended thicker than a drinkable smoothie, then topped with fruit, granola and honey so you eat it with a spoon.
What's the difference between an açaí bowl and a pitaya bowl?
The base. Açaí bowls are blended with organic açaí for a deep purple, berry-like flavor. Pitaya bowls swap in organic dragon fruit for a bright pink, lighter, more tropical base. Toppings work the same way on both.
Are the bowls dairy-free?
The blends are. Every bowl is blended with fruit juice, coconut milk or almond milk, so there's no dairy in the base. Most bowls are finished with honey.
I have a nut allergy. What can I order?
Our organic granola is nut-free. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl, Peanut Butter Crunch, Vice City and the peanut butter smoothies contain peanut and/or almond milk. Use the "Peanut & almond free" filter on the menu, and tell the team about any allergy when you order.
What sizes do the bowls come in?
Two: Small is 16oz and Regular is 24oz. One Google reviewer described the Regular as "pretty large, with so much fresh fruit."
How long does a pickup order take?
The online ordering page quotes pickup times of up to 20 minutes.
Do you deliver?
Online ordering is set up for pickup at 1659 James Avenue. Order ahead and your bowl is ready when you arrive.
Where is Miami Bowls?
1659 James Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139, in the Lincoln Road shopping district, about a five-minute walk from the beach.
What are your hours?
Sunday through Thursday 10 AM to 10 PM. Friday and Saturday 8 AM to 10 PM, or until sold out.
Can I place a large order for a group?
Call (305) 530-8203 or email alexmacias@miamibowls.com with your headcount, the time you need it and what you'd like. The team will tell you what's possible for that day.
Can I customize my bowl?
Yes. When you order online you can add extras like cacao nibs, coconut shreds, organic banana or extra organic granola, or remove the granola, banana or honey drizzle.
