Wow how refreshing it was to pop up here after a long walk outside! The atmosphere was so welcoming and we were met with kindness and smiles. The service was so efficient and quick. And my goodness….. this Açaí bowl was SOOOOO delicious. We got the Grain & Berry and it’s so so good oh my gosh! Mouth watering and so healthy.

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.

Wow how refreshing it was to pop up here after a long walk outside! The atmosphere was so welcoming and we were met with kindness and smiles. The service was so efficient and quick. And my goodness….. this Açaí bowl was SOOOOO delicious. We got the Grain & Berry and it’s so so good oh my gosh! Mouth watering and so healthy.
I recently visited Grain and Berry and ordered the Açaí Bowl with blueberries, strawberries, and banana. The ingredients were very fresh, but the bowl itself lacked flavor. The açaí base with banana had almost no taste, it was bland and disappointing. The fruit toppings were fresh: plump blueberries, firm ripe bananas, and fresh strawberries. But freshness alone couldn't make up for the flavorless base. It reminded me of the açaí bowls at Main Squeeze, which also have no flavor. It was actually so tasteless, after about halfway through, I decided to toss it. My husband managed to get through his, but he said it was right on par with Main Squeeze, which is not a compliment. For comparison, the best açaí bowl I’ve had is at Juice It Up in Pearland, they still set the standard, fresh ingredients, full of flavor and a great price. Grain and Berry seems ideal for people who prioritize freshness over flavor, but I prefer both. Also, at $13.50, you expect to be wowed, instead I felt suckered. The portion size was good but I get the same serving size at Juice it Up for $4 less. The service was also disappointing. When I arrived for pickup, the employee behind the counter was busy preparing several orders. Instead of greeting and asking if I was picking up or needing to place an order, she simply said, “I’ll be with you,” and kept working. I stood there for more than five minutes before another employee came in and grabbed my order from the fridge directly behind her, something that would have taken 15 seconds to do. Recap: Taste: Fail Freshness: Pass Value: Fail Service: Fail Overall, while the ingredients were fresh, the bowl lacked flavor, the service was inattentive, and the price didn’t match the experience. No need to return.

Had a great experience at Grain & Berry in Richmond! The açaí bowl was fresh and loaded with toppings. The smoothies were perfectly blended and refreshing. Staff was welcoming and the place was very clean. So happy to have a healthy spot like this in Richmond!
