I recently visited Tupi Açaí in Calgary, and it instantly became my go-to spot for a taste of home. As a Brazilian living in Canada for almost 10 years, I’ve struggled to find authentic açaí, but Tupi Açaí nails it with their Brazilian-style offerings. The cozy atmosphere and the friendly, happy, and helpful staff made my visit even more enjoyable.
My kids had a blast trying all the gelato flavors and enjoyed every scoop.

I am unsure if this is the norm for when you add protein powder, but I didn’t enjoy the taste of the powder just loose dust like in each bite. I ended up leaving half of it because it just wasn’t tasting right. Also i anticipated the bowl itself to look beautiful like these other reviews, but unfortunately mine was a smush, I would have preferred being asked if I wanted the lid off or on as I was about to eat it right after being handed it anyways. Would be open to trying again maybe, but my first experience wasn’t...
