This truly hit the spot for me! I'll definitely be coming back often. I got the tropical smoothie, but since I'm pregnant and my body is craving certain things, I customized it with just strawberries, coconut milk, and lime. It was icy cold and absolutely refreshing. Thank you so much, ladies, for being so patience with me! I had to come back after walking around sipping on it because it helped calm down my high blood pressure. The cold icy, fresh strawberries were so smoothing. I really appreciate that they use fresh, wholesome fruits. Plus - I haven't been able to stomach much food for weeks and been feeling sick so this helps ease my stomach. I've been going to a different place in Oakland, but not anymore--I'll be coming here instead! The ambiance was cute, posh, and clean, and everyone was so pleasant. I'll definitely be back for the exact same thing.

Dragon Bowl-- 4/5. Very refreshing, but I wish the portions were a bit more equal. There is a lot more açaí than there are toppings. The large bowl I got was like $16.50 if I'm not mistaken which I think is a little over the top.Overall, the staff was nice, and my bowl only took about 5 mins to come out. The cafe is located in a busy area surrounded by other shops, so parking may be a little more difficult.

I've been curious about this place for a while, we finally tried it and really enjoyed it. Good portions, no skimping on fruit toppings, and the base was not too sweet on either bowl. The only note I have is one worker had on gloves and was restocking drinks, picking up trash off the floor, and then went back into the kitchen area and continued to touch things (but no food prep). May be time for little training. The food preppers weren't doing any of that though. All the fruit tasted fresh and texturally each bowl was very satisfying. Not priced too bad imo. Little place, but a handful of seats to sit and eat in there if you're inclined.

Got the Tamalpais with Strawberry instead of Kiwi,Two Notes:- You can only sub toppings in the same price range- Parking is nasty here, there is parking infront of the library sometimes.The flavor of the base was great! They were able to make it more icy for me by adding less cashew milk. The strawberries were very tart with the blueberries but the honey and bee pollen. Overall it was okay for $18 with tip and tax. Good for a quick Acai fix but definitely other options available too!

I've been meaning to try Palm for a while, and I had a good time. The place is bright with limited seating. Elmwood is also very hard to park, but we were lucky to find an open slot nearby. Our cashier was very kind and quick with our order. We got our bowls about ten minutes after ordering. The Gatherer Bowl was very refreshing. I love acai bowls, in general, and this hit all the notes. The granola with fresh fruit pairs well with the base, and the almond butter added a nice nuttiness. I do like this bowl, but it is decently priced for the size. I would definitely still recommend for anyone who has not tried this place yet!

This place is soo good! I got an acai bowl (Gather) and it was amazing!!! Also get the chia pudding. It was a great addition to the bowl. Parking can be a bit hard but is doable.Definitely will need to try their other bowls next.

If you're in the Berkeley area looking for a tasty Acai bowl, Palm Acai cafe is it. Every time I visit the bay I always try a new spot so my sister recommended this cafe and it did not miss. It was easy to find parking and the walkability in the area is great. Cute, small interior with a few high top tables and a window counter. They were pretty busy but took no more than 10 minutes to receive my order. I decided on the Hunter bowl and it was delicious! Will be back to order another bowl...or two

Cool spot for açaí bowls! I got the little bear and it was a good ratio of base to toppings. I added chia pudding to it and that elevated it even more. The green smoothie was also really good. They were super quick to make our order and very friendly when asking about the menu. Can't wait to come back to try more! There's some indoor seating available. Overall it's a small spot.
