Aruba Island Bowls Cafe — Restaurant in Pittsburgh

EXCELLENT New Food Truck in the Strip Serving Healthy fruit bowls and smoothies

I had to opportunity to try Island Bowls at work a few weeks ago when a co-worker brought them in for everybody. I had the Dos Playas bowl and it was amazing. I am not the type of person that would normally purchase smoothies or fruit bowls, so I was surprised how much I liked it. The base is like a smoothie and that blue spirulina is very tasty. The fruit on top was super fresh and such a nice variety. It is topped with a fresh edible flower and is really a work of art. I had regular granola and goji berries on mine. That with the coconut just gave such a great flavor. The portion is quite large. Everyone enjoyed their bowls and one co-worker remarked, "This is the best thing I have eaten in a long time."

I was having my ladies group over last week, so stopped down and bought a different bowl for each lady as a treat. The truck is decorated so nicely, island style, with some music playing and the folks working there are super friendly and polite. Again, each bowl was beautiful, fresh, and tasty. Everyone enjoyed their bowl and I was able to customize the bowls to accommodate fruit and gluten intolerances without any problem. They will really do whatever you ask.

My husband and I stopped down this weekend after doing some business in town for a bowl. I had the Dos Playas again and he had the Yinzer Bowl. I tried a taste of his and it was equally delicious. My husband really enjoyed his bowl.

There are loads of other seeds, nuts, powders, and drizzles you can add to customize your bowl or smoothie. They will really do anything you want.

I think the price is very reasonable for the portion size, quality of the ingredients, and level of customer service. I highly recommend you go check them out. Trust me, you will not be...

This place is an absolute gem! When you walk in, you're greeted with the friendliest staff who are not only welcoming but also super quick. No long waits here—you can tell they care about getting you your food fast without compromising quality.

The açai bowls are the best I’ve had. They’re fresh, loaded with real fruit (not just a bunch of syrupy toppings), and taste amazing every single time. You can tell they put thought into every bowl, and the freshness of the ingredients really shines through. My favorite is the Açai Bowl with the peanut butter spear. My partner loves the Aruba Ariba Bowl and the Cosmo Bowl.

The vibe in the restaurant is unbeatable, too—they play such fun, upbeat music that makes the whole experience even better. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or staying to hang out, the playlist is always a hit.

I can't not mention the rubber chicken mascot. It adds such a quirky and fun vibe that makes this place stand out. It’s impossible not to smile when you see it. Five stars,...

Anytime you need a tropical escape, head to Aruba Island Bowls Café. Was a food truck, now a café right in the Strip District. The absolute cutest café, the vibes inside make you feel like you are tucked away on an island. Their bowls taste just like it too! They’re packed with flavors of paradise. The décor and colors are bright and colorful, and their bowls are so fresh. Tried the Acai Bowl which is an acai blend, topped with granola, seasonal fruits and coconut shavings. The seasonal fruits were kiwis, oranges, bananas, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries- so many fresh, delicious fruits! Their entire menu looks great- they have tons of other fruit bowl options, smoothies, juices, goodness shots, poke bowls, salads, an island waffle, toasts, hummus, guacamole, sweets and tons of...
