Who owns Miami Bowls?

Miami Bowls was founded and is run by Alex Macias, who left the University of Miami at 21 to build the brand after someone tried to take the Miami Bowls name.

What makes the bowls different?

The açaí isn't soft-serve or pre-made. It's Grade-A organic açaí from Brazil, blended to order with frozen fruit and juice or non-dairy milk, with no ice and no fillers.

What's next for Miami Bowls?

Alex's stated goal is a Miami Bowls in every city across Florida, bringing handcrafted açaí to communities around the state.

Our story

He bet his degree on a bowl.

Alex Macias had his heart set on graduating from the University of Miami. Then someone tried to take the Miami Bowls name. At 21 he left school and went all in on building the real thing.

Today it's a Latino-owned shop in the Lincoln Road shopping district with a 5.0 rating on Google, and the same rule it started with: every bowl handcrafted on the spot.

How a bowl gets made

Built to order, every single time.

Our açaí isn't soft-serve and it isn't scooped from a tub that's been sitting out. Here's what happens after you order.

STEP 01

Organic açaí from Brazil

Grade-A organic açaí, imported directly. Pitaya bowls swap in organic dragon fruit.

STEP 02

A freshly blended açaí bowl seen from the side

Blended thick, no ice

Frozen fruit with juice or non-dairy milk. Nothing watered down, nothing pre-made.

STEP 03

Fresh strawberries, blueberries and blackberries

Topped by hand

Fruit hand-picked daily, nut-free organic granola with hemp seeds, and a drizzle of honey.

Best Açaí bowl in Miami Beach! Very tasty Acai bowl with multiple options. My favorite is Chocolate Peanut Butter. Service was great, very friendly lady from Argentina. She made everything from scratch.
