Blue Bowl

Blue Bowl is a create-your-own superfood cafe known for its build-it-yourself acai bowls, built on a base the chefs make in house with no cane sugar. The menu also includes supergood bagels and layered smoothies, and the company was started by a founder who came up with the idea during his military service.

Blue Bowl runs about a dozen locations across Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego counties, and it is a veteran-owned business. Customers can order ahead through the Blue Bowl app or the web order page, and the company offers gift cards. Questions can be sent to its hello address by email.
