    BOOM shakalaka! Excellent service, value, and healthy af! Upon entering with a friend, we were greeted ASAP and were oriented to all of the choices and ordering steps. At extremely fair prices of $8.50/$11/$14 for S/M/L bowls, they provide a very satisfying and delicious snack or meal packed with nutrition versus bubble tea and juice which usually start at $5 and are mostly liquid. While there are 5 options for a cold base, I went for mango and matcha which both have really deep flavors and mild sweetness. They really compress the base so that you get more toppings. Then, they offer 3 choices of chia pudding, 4 granolas, unlimited fruit and other toppings, 3 agave nectar/honey options, and 3 nut butter choices. The Cashew Nut butter was amazing (and they offer free refills on these)!!! Their meticulous preparation and the nature of the ingredients make such a beautiful bowl. Though I only got a small, I was quite full and my tummy was happy. We love this legion of boom!

    I loved the flexibility I had when I ordered - toppings are unlimited and you can have whatever combinations your heart desires. The bowls are really aesthetically pleasing lol - very colorful. There is a bathroom and WiFi. It’s a bit pricy but what isn’t these days, and also it’s Montclair. We need more vegan places here please!

    My boyfriend and I frequent here a lot, and we absolutely love this place! The quality of the ingredients is very high, almost immaculate. The fruit is always perfectly ripe, the toppings are fresh, the granola is light and crunchy, and the boomchia pudding is so unique and delicious, I truthfully could just eat a bowl of that on its own. The blue coconut frozen base is my favorite, it tastes as good as it looks. If you haven’t tried this place yet, I HIGHLY recommend you do, you won’t regret it!

    Wow this place was an all around fantastic spot to visit. I went in having never heard of Boomchia before but having tried several other “bowl” spots and was blown away. For offering unlimited everything the prices were more than reasonable. It’s spacious and bright while best for to go or groups of 2-3 people max. Everything was clean and sleek and very appealing to the eye especially as its food related. The service was fantastic, I was greeted by both employees with smiles and a genuine interest to inform me of the options I had and recommendations. Now for the bowl, it was scrumptious! The flavors all came together amazing and tasted just right. I couldn’t have found a better experience today and can’t wait to share with everyone I know! Highly recommend and will return!!!

    Very clean and aesthetically pleasing spot. The base was nice and frozen and didn’t become instantly watery. Plethora of toppings at no additional cost is a plus. I recommend the BOOMCHIA pudding, mango and blue coconut base. 5/5 highly recommend this spot!

    So good! Josh and Yinka are super friendly and knowledgeable. The establishment is clean and the chia bowl I curated is incredible. Do you guys franchise?

    Went into Boomchia for the first time today and had an AMAZING experience… I guarantee you this will be better than any chain açaí bowl you’ve ever had. The staff was so friendly and helpful and all the ingredients were so good and fresh! I love supporting local businesses and I am happy to make this my go-to Açaí bowl spot now!

    Western civilization has arguably gone downhill over the last few years, but the recent acai bowl trend gives me hope for humanity. Any time you encounter legitimately healthy food that tastes great and makes you feel amazing, run with it (and you should be able to run for quite a while after eating this). I initially stopped by months ago with a chum as part of a free/discounted promotion. She wasn't as crazy about this (I think mostly because it's not as sweet as the nearby Playa Bowls), but I've kept coming back, most recently this past Sunday morning, and it's never less than a perfect experience. I've ended up getting pretty much the same bowl every time. I wouldn't be opposed to venturing beyond that, but it's so good that it's hard to justify branching out - why mess with perfection? I go for the frozen combo base of acai and their seasonal flavor mango (it's labeled seasonal but it's definitely been there for at least three seasons - not a complaint but I think it's safe to just keep this on the permanent menu now), the boomchia pudding, dark chocolate granola, strawberries, cacao nibs, almond butter and cacao powder. Yes, there's A LOT going on here and you legitimately could get a few more ingredients in there; unlimited toppings is part of the sales pitch. I always go large to fit as much as possible. Again, not a complaint, but compared to a Playa bowls, I don't find this as filling - I feel peppy afterwards mind you, but it's not unusual for me to be hungry again in about three or four hours. The service is always top-notch. I usually see the same people there month after month (not much obvious turnover; good sign), who are professional, friendly and knowledgeable. A big part of the business model is the presentation value. I'm pretty ambivalent about that - I love a good pic but ultimately I'm there to eat the food, not look at it - but it IS pretty impressive to witness the time and attention that goes into each bowl. The person behind the counter very carefully condenses the frozen base to get as many ingredients as possible, usually at the same time as another person is cutting up the fruit to meticulously place on the top of the creation. Bottom line, they do the little things right here every time. As a bonus, this is a competitive price point especially if you are going to compare it directly with Playa. A bowl at Playa at this point runs around $13 I think. The large bowl at BOOMCHIA, which is literally twice the size of a Playa bowl, is around $15. The only negative I can think of is that they don't have any other locations, so I have to schlep over to Montclair and figure out where to park. But if that's the biggest complaint I can muster, that says it all. Absolutely deserving of its sky-high rating.

    My dad and I go to this place every week. I am writing this review on my dad’s account. Boomchia has delicious acai bowls. It is not to sweet and tastes very natural. The owner Josh is so nice. The fruit tastes so fresh . It has these amazing and delicious bases that normal açaí places don’t have. The bases are handcrafted and you can add as many toppings as you want. I would recommend the blue coconut with the passion fruit and dark chocolate granola and Boomchia pudding. It is the best açaí bowl place in the world.
