Let me tell ya it’s 100% worth it. It was my first time there and my first time getting boba and the woman working was so nice! I didn’t feel rushed or under pressure, when the transaction was done my mom had messaged to get her something.. the woman had absolutely no attitude!! Most customer service workers do, but not her. It felt so welcoming and the prices were great! For my boba (+tip) was around 7 dollars (I also got the pearls) and my mom’s (she got a smoothie) was around 9(+tip). It’s so affordable. I love it and it will be a regular for us from now on. One thing is the coffee is strong so be warned! (It’s still so good!)

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Essential Bowls is hands down one of my favorite places! Everything I’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The boba tea is AMAZING — perfectly sweet and so refreshing. The bowls are just as incredible. The Cupid Bowl for Valentine’s Day is one of my all-time favorites, and I also love the Luau Bowl and the Sunrise Bowl. They’re always beautifully made and taste just as good as they look. You can really tell they use quality ingredients. If I could change one thing, it would be opening earlier in the morning — I would totally eat here for breakfast all the time! Highly recommend Essential Bowls if you’re looking for something fresh, fun, and consistently delicious!

Omg!! Essential Bowls is the best açaí place I’ve been to (and I’ve been to A LOT). The service was amazing we were able to ask questions and get good feedback. There wasn’t a long wait for our two açaí bowls and avocado toast. Speaking of food, the açaí was amazing and it was like a feel-good meal. The Mediterranean avocado toast (feta cheese, tomato, balsamic vinegar) was da bomb and so healthy and true to picture. The atmosphere in the inside of building was lighthearted, young, and definitely a vibe for a small to mid-size group. I liked that the building wasnt cramped like how the other açaí places I’ve been to. There was enough space for 2-8 people for each party/group. Only my mom and I went but I’ll definitely be inviting my friends to come get down with me at Essential Bowls.
