Gone Acai Hyannis — Attraction in Barnstable

Warning - not a real açaí bowl!! Any açaí place that serves coca cola products and hot dogs is probably not a good açaí place. I should have followed my gut instinct but we were hungry. Sadly this was a waste of $20+ per person for an açaí bowl. I started off by asking if the açaí had sugar and they said no (answer is yes after I read the ingredients on their take home açaí I saw in the corner after ordering) Açaí with sugar is sorbet, right? When we got the bowls there was a dusting crumble all over the top which looked like graham crackers ground up or brown sugar. The granola was also missing. I asked if I could have the granola and she offered me a side of the graham cracker grounds and said that it was granola. When I asked her if she was sure - she said “thats what it says on the box” and she seemed serious. Granola has never been ground up in my world so I said no thank you and sat down. The fruit on the bowl was also very minimal. I tried to eat it but it was so sweet you couldn’t taste the fruit. Annoying I could only eat about 6 bites. I dig around looking for more at the bottom but that too was the same “granola”. Being from the west coast, I have probably had 100+ açaí bowls in my life and this was one I’d skip if you don’t want dessert for your meal. Sadly this was the worst...

I stopped by this shop based on a recommendation and fell in love with everything. I came to get the Acai drink. I'd never had one before but Im a big fan of Brazilian food. The owner was there and I asked her to help me pick out my ingredients. Together we picked blue berry, mango, granola, and honey. Got a large and totally loved it. Can't even put into words how to explain the amazing taste. Its like a sundae but completely fruit oriented. The granola and honey were a sweet and natural combination with just a bit of granola crunch. I also picked-up some freshly made chocolate treats. This place will be a big success with the summer tourists as well as a nice off-season destination. Update: I've stopped back several times and it's been to-die-for good. Everything is fresh and yummy. The shop now has indoor seating and outdoor picnic tables. There was a steady flow of patrons when I visited in June ( despite the rain) so the word is out about Gone Acai. Service is fast and friendly. All sorts of treats to take home too, like specialty chocolates. This should be on your Must-Visit list if you are anywhere near Main...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently visited Gone Acai and was blown away by the incredible flavors and quality of their offerings. Their custom acai bowl was a perfect blend of fresh fruits, crunchy granola, and creamy acai. Each bite was a burst of natural sweetness and healthiness, making it the ideal treat for any time of the day.

The churros were simply divine - crispy on the outside, soft and doughy on the inside, with just the right amount of cinnamon and sugar coating. Paired with their rich dipping sauce, they were an indulgent delight that left me wanting more.

And the ice cream! It was creamy, flavorful, and the perfect way to top off an already amazing meal. With a variety of unique and classic flavors to choose from, there's something for everyone.

The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Gone Acai has definitely earned a top spot on my list of favorite places....
