BARE Blends — Restaurant in Sarasota

UPDATED: I'm giving this place 5 stars because the food, service and atmosphere was great. I also love that it's all plant based. I love that the waffles are GF and vegan. I've been told by management that most of their ingredients are organic, although it's not explicitly stated anywhere. They've also mentioned that they might start offering non-disposable dinnerware for dine-in guests. As a business owner I appreciate a well run business. Here are some things I think that could make it even better. These are not complaints, just constructive ideas.

I read reviews of a lot of people complaining of a lack of sweetness on certain bowls. I actually prefer less added sugar. Just let them know at the counter and they will make it sweeter. Prices are a little high in my opinion. These are the same prices you'd see in Miami or NYC. Everything seemed to be $2-3 more than it should. $4 for a tiny 500ml bottle of water had me shocked. Glade plugins in the restaurant were a little overwhelming. I'd rather smell the food or nothing at all. Having one in the bathroom is fine, but I could smell them all over...

I had the Acai Overload bowl. It was extremely bland! No flavor, even the granola tastes like nothing, ridiculous expensive $15. I was the only customer and it took them 15 minutes to prepare it. The acai was so frozen that they had to blend it for 10 minutes with almond milk which ruins the authentic flavor of the acai. The service was pathetic, 2 young people goofing around that much that I had to ask them to hurry up because it was taking so long. If you are reading this, don't waste your time here. Drive 7 minutes to the south and you have (Playa Bowl) or drive 10 minutes to the south and you have (3natives) and both are very good, larger quantities, real acai flavor and very importantly, the customer service...

We just wanted to grab a quick smoothie & juice there was a group of 3 people infront of us who got their açaí bowl orders fairly quickly. We ordered one smoothie and one juice the place was nearly empty after we ordered (maybe one person went in) and it took over 30 minutes for them to finish our order. I’m not even sure how this is possible? My husband went in twice and I went in once and they kept saying it was almost done and would be right out. The taste of the stuff is alright I guess but for a 30+ minute wait and other options close by I’m not sure we...
