Oakberry Acai Bowls &Smoothies | Santa Barbara — Restaurant in Santa Barbara

This is a difficult review to give. I think it would have been fabulous if the circumstances were different. We couldn't find parking. We parked .4 miles away. Had some difficulty finding the shop because Google Maps directed us to the wrong place. Our online order was bagged, kept in a cooler, and the sealed bag had some insulation. I was impressed by this. I asked if there were spoons and was told they were in the bag. We ordered two acai bowls. We walked the .4 miles back to the car and headed to the beach. My daughter's vacation dream included eating an acai bowl on the beach. We got to the beach and only had one spoon in the bag. So she ate hers, which had already melted quite a bit. Mine continued to melt as I waited to use her spoon when she was done. It was disappointing to not have two spoons. Mistakes happen. But since we were vacationing, new to the area, and didn't have spare cutlery we definitely did not get a good feel for what a freshly made acai bowl would taste like from Oakberry. Next time I will check the bag for spoons and insist we...

Love this place every time. So the first time I heard of it was through a Yelp sponsored event, but I wasn't available to attend so I came a different time. It took several friends, individually mentioning how good it is, to make me finally go. It was bittersweet the first time I came because after tasting the açaí "bowl" I was hooked.

The owner is a super sweet man and always friendly and welcoming. The menu is really straight-forward and easy to order from. He takes his time crafting a beautiful and delicious bowl. The prices are totally reasonable and the açaí bowl! Oh my gosh. It's really good.

I was a backyard bowls fan ... I stopped going there once I started coming here. It's on point....

Came here because it was recommended by some Brazilians I was with at the time, and they were ecstatic to see a familiar sight because it's a chain in Brazil as well. I love Acai but they told me I hadn't had the real kind until I had Oakberry!

Well, after that my expectations were a little high but they were certainly met! The acai is the perfect level of sweetness and while you do pay a bit more, it's worth it. The quality is there, plus the unlimited toppings are great -- I've never had peanut powder before until here and I'm sad I've missed out on it for so long! I also had them add sweetened condensed milk and that was incredible. I definitely will be going to the Los Angeles Oakberry...
