Bowl'd Acai

The OG bowl never fails me. I was worried it was going to be overly sweet like a lot of acai places but it was a perfect balance. The granola is only lightly sweet and goes well with the acai. I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch so for myself, I ordered the Great White poke bowl ($18), spicy please! It was topped with generous chunks of fresh line-caught ahi with a just-right amount of spicy heat plus gluten-free soy sauce and sesame oil. Underneath the top layer of fish was delightfully crispy brown rice laced with coconut oil and a bottom layer of spinach. The container would make it easy to walk around with but difficult to make an ultimate bite of all three layers without chunks of ahi falling off the top. The poke might be better in a different shaped container but it was easy to carry and attractively packaged. Watching me paw through my disorganized bag searching for my credit card, the man at the counter joked he'd give me a stamped loyalty card though teasingly cautioned, "You probably won't find it again." Well now I'm glad I have it because I'm coming back - soon! Bowl'D Açaí has a few trucks and they're stationed at Mint Plaza, the Mission, Fort Mason and Lake Merritt in Oakland. Their schedule is posted and updated on Yelp, Twitter and IG. You should definitely try their juices, smoothies, ginger and other health shots and the poke bowl, too. P.S. It's also a good place to take pics

AVOID. So many other great places you should support instead of this place. I drove out of my way to go support this local business (at their marina green location). I am allergic to banana and asked the server what I can get off their menu. Her reply, "nothing". Then she just stared at me. They do not have a SINGLE option out of all their smoothies and bowls that do not include banana. Apparently EVERYTHING IS PRE-BLENDED (and therefore not as fresh as you would think). And if it isn't pre-blended then I don't understand why she didn't offer to make anything up for me that did not include banana. They should be grateful to customers who are supportive during this time trying to keep restaurants afloat. Overall it was an awful experience to rudely be told "you can't eat here". My husband ordered a poki bowl and it was bland and completely below average (definitely not worth the price). There are so many wonderful places in SF that you can support, and would be accommodating and so grateful for your business. This business is unfortunately and obviously NOT one of them.

Looked for a quick bite during a recent business trip to SF and stopped at the 14 Mint Plaza truck--the smoothie was delicious and the staff were so nice! I can't remember the gentleman's name, but after I mentioned I was getting a smoothie to try to help get over a cold, he immediately whipped up a free small smoothie shot that he said had ingredients that would help me kick my cold away. Will definitely return next time I'm out to try a poké bowl!
