Palm Berries — Restaurant in Alexandria

Palm Berries is a hidden gem and officially my new go-to spot for açaí bowls in Virginia. We stopped in for a quick treat and were seriously impressed. The bowls are super fresh, packed with high-quality ingredients, and beautifully put together. You can taste the difference—the fruit is vibrant, the açaí is smooth and flavorful (not icy or watered down), and the toppings are generous without being overwhelming. The space itself is bright, clean, and welcoming, with a relaxing vibe that makes you want to hang out for a while. The staff was also incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the menu and offer great suggestions. It’s very different from South Block—not just in style, but in overall feel and flavor—and honestly, I like it so much better. Palm Berries feels more personal and fresh, like it was made with care rather than just assembly-line style. Highly, highly recommend checking them out if you’re nearby. You won’t be...

This place has good açaí bowls, but customer service needs work. I visited on July 1st, 2025, about 30 minutes before closing. A young woman took my order and was rude. We had a brief misunderstanding about the fruit, which I didn’t even realize was an issue, and I still tipped. While I was waiting, she took another order, made that bowl, and told the next customer it was ready. That customer then asked me if the bowl was mine instead of hers, since she realized I had been waiting longer. I told her no, it wasn’t mine. The worker then looked at me, rolled her eyes, and walked to the back. The young man had to tell me my order was ready. This is unacceptable and reflects poorly on the business. Employees should be trained to provide better face-to-face service, especially when customers can’t see their food being prepared. Highly...

My husband and I stopped in today after our workout, and turns out we were there very first customers as they’d just opened today! We both got the superhuman bowl (regular size) with choose your own toppings, and even with the protein and spinach in the base we both loved it. Previously I’d only had an açaí bowl in Hawaii, and was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and tasty this was as well. It was the perfect size for a light lunch after a workout. As soon as we walked in, the girl at the register was very friendly and helpful with great suggestions. I also really liked the decor and colors of the place! If we lived in the area we would definitely be regulars, but will have to settle for once in awhile when we’re in town...
