Tropical Coconut Bowl

$6.90 · 26 Reviews

Coconut sorbet mixed with acai. I still prefer normal acai but this is a pleasant twist if you want smth different

Triple A: Acai with fresh fruits and superfoods (ie Goji berries, chia seeds, coconut shavings)
2. Coco-glow: Acai with coconut sobert, fresh fruits and superfoods

Açai base: Their açai base tasted very chocolatey and was really TOO sweet for my liking. I would rate the sweetness level 8/10 and it make me feel super jelat, sinful and diabetic after finishing the large size. I think people with a sweeter tooth would probably love their açai blend. For a person who love the natural taste of berries, especially how the subtle sweetness is coupled with slight tanginess, I feel that the açai tangy taste is masked by the STRONG chocolatey aftertaste. Nonetheless, I really applauded them for their concentrated açai blend that was not too icy not too melted when served… just that i really find it overly sweet

Coconut Sorbet: For the coco glow, the layers of coconut sorbet really added a nice icy and refreshing texture to the açai blend. As the coconut sorbet is slightly less sweet (6.5/10) than the açai base and was icy, it toned down the overall sweetness of the whole bowl (which was less jelat for me). However, I was quite disappointed because the coconut flavour profile was really mild and subtle and was easily masked by the chocolatey-tasting acai base. Wished the coconut flavour was more pronounced. I kind of feel like rather than complementing with the açai blend, the addition of the coconut sorbet was just to make it less sweet but also diluted at the same time.

Between their triple A and coco-glow, I would recommend the triple A although it was sweeter…probably because i feel that when people eat açai bowls, they would want it to be concentrated rather than diluted. The addition of the coconut sorbet was refreshing/less jelat but it didn’t gave me the “complete” feels that i am having an açai bowl.

Super yummy but rather pricey at 14.90$ (largest cup)
Good for sharing for 2 :)

It’s no longer on Burpple Beyond but I loved it so much that I would purchase it on its full price. I love the colourful array of fruits on the purple sand of acai, with yummy coconut-y goodness at the bottom of the cup. The acai also has an aftertaste of dark chocolate which I enjoyed.

Tried Triple A, Nutty Party and the one with coconut sorbet and all did not disappoint! The choice of butter was a surprise as many places did not offer this. Tried the almond butter (healthier) and cookie butter (for those with sweet tooth) and both were very yummy! The place is not kids friendly tho. Will definitely be back for more!

Great 1-1 deal! Coconut glow was refreshing but I still prefer the full Açai one :D

This was really yummy! I love coconut sorbet, and I haven’t seen this in any other acai cafes...

It was yummy! I loved it.

My favourite açai! So glad they have burpple beyond so i can indulge moreeeee! the cashier was kind enough for us to mix up our order so we don’t have 2 of the same kind. the coconut one is quite nice! and helps to change things up if you are sick of too much açai. More for me please! Will be back !

okay so we did not know that açai bowls are actually..... a full meal. we thought they were desserts. worst decision ever because we were so stuffed from dinner but had to slowly spoon every (delicious) bit of açai into our mouths LOL. highly recommend the coconut sorbet bowl, because the sorbet helps to cut through the thickness of the açai (which is given in very generous amounts, by the way). also really love the cookie butter sauce!

paid $13.50 for both using burpple beyond 🌻

This acai bowl was yummy! It was light, refreshing, and nutrient packed with goji berries, coconut shavings, granola and fruits among others. Acai blend was not too goopy or icey, which is great too!

Got the large triple A as part of the Burpple 1 for 1 deal and it was filling enough to qualify as dinner!
