HORRIBLEEE. First & foremosttttt ! They smoothies aren’t fresh ! My husband got a strawberry & banana smoothie & they threw almond milk in the cup and added the smoothie on top. The little girl working said it’s bc it’s pre MADE and she will make another .. by then he was just turned off and wanted a refund.we left... 10-15 mins past I opened my AÇAÍ bowl ate it and the açaí tasted OLD and not fresh!!!! I went back apologized told her how my husband just was in here and got a refund that I’m not satisfied with what I ordered and how it taste old and it looks old like it’s been sitting there. The little girl then proceeded to give me an attitude and tell me she can’t give me a refund and it looks old because I let it sit.. I said NO mamn I drove down the block opened it and tried it ! 10-15 mins isn’t OLD. It was sitting there from YALL!! She then said they made it this morning… and she can’t give me a refund . This place is disgusting and I will be calling corporate on yall ! I don’t play about my food ! And to the little girl with the nasty attitude I will make sure I contact ur manager - joanna Marie

What is Worth Choosing

For anyone visiting SoBol Forest Ave for the first time, the signature **Acai Bowl** ($10.58) is an absolute must-try. This item is the foundation of the SoBol brand and is highly popular, consisting of their perfectly blended, thick acai puree layered with their delicious homemade granola and fresh fruit. It is the best way to experience the quality and freshness that the restaurant is known for.

Beyond the classic, those looking to diversify their superfood experience should try one of the exotic options. The **Pitaya Bowl** ($12.01) offers a vibrant, slightly sweeter, and creamier alternative, while the **Chocolate Cacao Bowl** ($12.01) provides a richer, more decadent taste without sacrificing the healthy components. For an ideal quick bite or a satisfying breakfast on a colder day, pairing the protein-packed **Egg Bites** ($6.49) with a small container of their exclusive **SoBol OG Granola** ($10.91 for a large take-home bag) is highly recommended.

If a smoothie is preferred, the **Super Green** ($12.63) is an excellent way to get a maximum nutrient boost, or for a classic fruit taste, the **Very Berry** ($12.63) is a safe and satisfying choice. While there have been a few isolated customer concerns about freshness and service—which any growing establishment can face—the overwhelmingly positive feedback on quality, freshness, and friendly staff (like Anthony mentioned in a review) suggests that the quality and experience often exceed expectations. To ensure the freshest possible experience, New Yorkers should communicate directly with the staff about their preferences, as the store commits to blending their bases fresh daily.
