The lady at the front with the black hair is the most beautiful being I have ever seen

I come here mostly on the weekends to grab a quick breakfast, and the food is always spectacular. Unfortunately, good food does not come with good service. The customer service at this location is bewildering. Always sitting on the counter tops on their phones if there is no service, horrible attitudes, no greetings, this location doesn’t open till later hours but the employees always seem they’ve just woken up at 10am, and there’s a plastic barrier blocking lids from customers already making it difficult to get a to-go bowl. I could stand there for 3 minutes waiting for someone to grab a lid for me. I don’t know how many times I had to walk out with an open bowl. Good food, horrible service.

Edit- customer service is usually not up to par with the food. They open at 10am usually so I'd expect them to be a little more lively but they barely say anything, never a good morning or the usual have a good day... You know, the usual of what customer service is. They always just have a bitter attitude. Holy cow, so good. I had no clue that it would be this good. Be sure to mix your bowl, but wow, anything you get is just so filling and tasty like every restaurant should be. Definitely will be getting breakfast here more often after stomping grounds is not that up to standards anymore.

I freaking love the Pitaya Power Bowl!! I get it with 2 scoops of whey protein. They don't mix it in, which I never considered, but I absolutely love it that way! The only thing that's a little 'meh' is that the service isn't super enthusiastic or engaging. Of course I go there in the morning and it's on a college campus. So, I can't blame the tired energy given the lifestyle of a college student. But, it is something that I do notice.

Been going here for a while the food is great. Today the place closes at 5 as the sign says. Went to go in but the door was locked the time was 4:21 so I knocked and a blonde lady that worked there said they close early for “cleaning purposes” if that is the case you guys should update the time on your sign.

Can healthy food be so delicious? At Big Acai, yes. My first time having sorbet Acai bowl and it was delicious. Portions are surprisingly big so I couldn't finish the big bowl size. Would definitely come again

I hit up the mobile food truck when it was im Marshalltown. Wasn't overly hungry but wanted to try them out. I ordered the coffee smoothie. It acually kept me full until my normal dinner time. Was very tasty and loved munching on the coffee grounds. I want to try a bowl next!

Was looking forward to my first time there. The açaí bowl I had was great, but the staff member that took my order was rude.

Staff was helpful; I had mentioned I had never eaten here and he explained how it worked. Tuesdays are free topping days, guess I picked a good day. Fast and very delicious! A lot of variety for everyone.

I like it here a lot! The bowls are yummy and very customizable. I definitely recommend going on a Tuesday to get free additional toppings.

Friendly staff who helped my fiancé on her first visit to understand how it worked and what to try. She loves the food. On Tuesdays there are free unlimited toppings so I recommend trying it out then.
