Mellow Banana is a gem! Chantal and James, the owners, have poured so much attention into every aspect of the shop - sourcing local, high quality ingredients, crafting delicious recipes, and creating a bright, inviting, aesthetic atmosphere - no details were spared! Cannot recommend this shop enough. The acai bowls in particular are absolutely fantastic. If you're in AG and want a healthy, affordable option for your next meal, snack, or coffee break, look no further than Mellow Banana 😍
Staff was friendly and the food was great. Highly recommended if you've never been in. Acai bowl was so good, and the waffle came with 2 free toppings.
We stopped in for a post-hike snack. We tried the Happy Mango smoothie and the Baja Bowl (acai). Both were delicious- you can tell the recipes were skillfully crafted to reflect their core values of eating healthy foods to fuel the body. The ginger and turmeric in the Happy Mango packed a punch, in a good way. The Baja Bowl was sooo good, I loved the contrast in texture with the acai, fruit, peanut butter, and all the granola and seeds. There are lots of options on the menu, as well! So many options looked delicious.
Something else noteworthy is how community oriented this shop / the owners are. This shop sources their ingredients locally, they have hiking meet ups and events that you can attend, a thrift / vintage clothes section. There's also a cozy seating area you can snuggle up and read your favorite book or play a board game with friends. The owners, Chantal and James, did an excellent job creating this space. Not only is it super cute, but it's also a little safe haven within the community as well.
Delicious Açaí bowls and wonderful service! So glad we found them while visiting Pismo Pier. The other places near the Pismo pier that had açaí bowls only had pre-made açaí bases that were way too sweet. They almost tasted like sweet sorbets. I don't know about you but when I ask for an açaí, I want a nutritiously packed fresh açaí bowl and these wonderful folks deliver!!! My husband had the tropical Açaí and I had the earth açaí bowl. SO GOOD!! Must try when visiting Pismo Area!! We're headed back for a waffle as I write this - Yee Haw!
Staff was very friendly and the smoothie bowl I had was delicious. I also loved their waffle with fruit and honey on top! The best smoothies in SLO county!
My pictures don't do this place justice. This was literally THE BEST acai bowl ever. I got the Baja and my fiance got the Aloha. We also got a waffle with bananas and almond butter. All of it was AMAZING.
Loved the staff and CLEAN eco friendly ambience. Had the Canyon bowl- generous portions with a good amount of GRANOLA and quality ingredients. Drip Coffee pretty good (Spearhead). Will be back! Support Local
I can't say enough good things about this place. The smoothies are delicious, the waffles look and smell amazing (I still haven't tried one yet though). The owners are so friendly and welcoming. My dog gets excited whenever we pull into the knowing that she'll be getting a treat too! Love,love, love it here.
I've been multiple times now to Mellow Banana. Every time I've ordered coffee with steamed oat milk, which was delicious, and obviously high quality beans. But the avocado toast...!!! This isn't something I typically order out, because I make it at home. A lot. And I know what I like. But I was in a situation where I knew I needed something to eat and wouldn't have that opportunity for the next couple of hours, so I ordered it from Mellow Banana. SO GOOD. The toast was a thick and chewy whole grain, the avocado was fresh and generous, it was perfectly seasoned, and topped with micro greens. And I finally tried the açai bowl, which was out standing on every level. The environment is bright and comfy and eclectic, the staff are friendly and helpful, the music is both uplifting and soothing, and there are little reminders all over that this is a welcoming space for truly everyone. I will definitely be back!
The best smoothies, made with real delicious ingredients, served in a beautiful environment filled with light and plants! I haven’t indulged in their other gorgeous creations like bowls and toast, because their drinks are like a meal and I always want to get my favorite (Supergreens). Yesterday I finally tried Volcano Keto and it was amazing—rich flavors—sooo good. I find myself craving them time and again…
