Rico's Acai — Restaurant in Belmont

This was a terrible experience! I’ve been coming here for a while because the food tastes good and I live down the street. I ordered a bowl and the girl who was working was terrible and extremely rude! She talked back to me, gave me so much attitude and she charged me $16 for a bowl I got that was $11. When I asked her if she charged the right size, she said yes and refused to give me a receipt because the additional charge wasn’t just for tax, it was because she gave herself a tip. Regardless, I was calm and just thanked her because there’s no reason to be so rude over a small exchange. For owners purposes: the girl was probably mid 20s and Latina, black hair. Wish I would’ve gotten her name so the owner can correct her disturbing behavior and teach her about customer service. Will absolutely...

Stood in queue for 15 minutes watching them slowly cut fruit and assemble a bowl with their back to me along W 4 others.

Two of the others in the queue had to call out to them as they were just about to close the window bc they were waiting to pick up online orders. They looked annoyed to even be bothered to look. The people waiting got their online orders and left. The 4 people waiting on their orders all looked confused and frustrated, they said they had been waiting 40 minutes and apparently only had one order ready . They didn't even say hello to me just closed the window. Left...

Rico's Acai in Belmont is one of my new favorite places to eat. Each bowl has the Acai berries on the bottom with a granola mix, then bananas and more granola on top. The Brazil Bowl has only these ingredients, but the real magic comes out of the Rainbow Bowl which has strawberries, raspberries, mango (seasonal) pineapple, kiwi, blueberries and blackberries. There are a wide varieties of optional toppings, like Nutella or peanut butter. the Apple Bowl (pictured with Nutella) is a new addition that I can't wait to try. Both of the pictured bowls are minis... Pro tip: the fruit is always fresh and well washed, so the bowls can be refrigerated for breakfast...
