Great spot for a fresh juice however they are not filled pressed, simply juiced. “Fix me” was the perfect one for me with plenty of ginger

Very easy to find this little gem of a health bar with the best acai bowls you will find in Melbourne city. This is our second visit to Melbourne and we went back to try the acai bowls again and not disappointed at all.

This is a great little juice bar. They make some of the best smoothies I’ve had in my life and good juices too. The açai bowls look super delicious as well and I can’t wait to try them. Lunch menu looks promising! My favourite though, is the green tea smoothie - not too sweet and full green tea flavour.

Best Açai bowl I could find by far in Melbourne and surrounding. I have been eating Açai bowls in Southern California for about 10 years now. My favourite thing for lunch or breakfast on a hot day. Spent 4weeks in Australia and saw Açai is blowing up but the differences in açai base quality, fruit type, and how they’re built is all over the place. Of all I tried this was hands down the winner. Went back 3 times during my 5 day visit to Melbourne. For those that know what makes a good açai bowl.. this is it. Real açai only base, fresh strawberries/bananas/blueberries, tally granola and the option to add other high quality topping like peanut butter and coconut flakes. Super nice staff as well.
