    Poke bowls and açaí bowls are great. All coffee drinks are Nespresso pods, which I don’t love. Still a wonderful, clean, convenient spot with good food and interesting merch. They have inside seating in the main room, hallway and a nice covered upstairs patio. Worth trying :)

    Honestly i dont know why i came back for the second time. Ingreadients not super fresh. Quality is average at best. Expensive fast food. Staff does not care that much about whats going on.

    Overall bad experience : food is flavorless and kind of gross (especially the fish). But the worst part is the staff who clearly was annoyed by our presence. I definitely won’t go again!

    How can you ruin a simple bowl? Add too much soya & teriyaki sauce- voilà. Impossible to eat without kidney failure 🥺 ! Furthermore, out of 6 proteins (and you can have 2) they never had all 6 but 1-2 max and I've been there twice. High season and lunch time. There's a nice terrace where you can eat but not unless you clean the table by yourself as it's not something they manage doing. It's also weird Thursday being a day off and closing down 8pm. Should I say more? Oh, it's a god thing you can pay by car here. So many places are "cash only"- figure that out- 21st century. Portuguese should really learn a lot about hospitality business.

    Not good quality ingredients . Worst food experience in Ericeira. You have so many great places for food, just not this one.

    The worst! bowl I had in a while. The rice tasted a few days old and undercooked, the shrimp seemed also ready to be thrown out. The highlight was the original coke that came instead of an ordered zero coke. Sad.

    🤳delivered delicious food from the store in the evening and then we went to the grocery shopping for the next few minutes and we are ready for a walk

    amazing experience ,but little bit slow service

  • 1/5 Dave K. 8 months ago on Google
    This place is very poorly managed. There is little care with the food. It’s very average Poke bowl. Machine coffee. Service is terrible. One person taking orders, doing payment and preparing all the food and you have to stand in a queue for half an hour - there is no sitting down - everyone waits while this one person prepares each meal while another staff member wanders around doing very little and the other one hides in the kitchen. There is not much to prepare in the kitchen apart from grating some carrot and cutting some fish into cubes. It’s really poorly managed. The venue is great and the location perfect it just needs someone to kick some arse. I also saw a lot of half eaten meals - so a lot of other people were not enjoying their food it seems.

    Amazing bowls - great selection of ingredients and very quick preparation. The cafe is filled with light and there’s a terrace upstairs with info about the 7 waves of Ericeira. Will come back!

    Amazing dessert bowls, just what we wanted. We had the brownie bowl with kiwi and lemon sorbet and the cookie, strawberries and chocolate mouse. Fantastic combinations and flavors. Absolute perfection! Can’t wait to try their other bowls!

    Super slow, you cannot change anything the brunch meniu, soya yougurt was not tasty at all, the card machine was not working and they only told us that after ordering, and the food was meh. My overall experience: meh, I will not visit again. Too bad because it is in a great location and there is so much potential to make it a nice place.

    To be honest, I do not understand why people are so adamant in criticizing this bowl spot. The place is central, nice, and with a beautiful terrace. The staff is sweet. They have plenty of ingredients, all delicious. Prices are rather good, 9€ for the small bowl - I couldn’t eat the large one, too big for me. Deserves a 4.5 but giving 5 stars to bump the rating up as 3.6 is super unfair.

    Ingredients weren’t fresh and there was way too much rice vinegar making impossible to eat it. It’s a shame because it’s such a great location in the heart of ericeira you would expect it something high quality for the price they ask.

    I got the poke bowl. Super fresh and a great portion for the price! Very friendly counter service and a wide menu to choose from. Everything looked delicious and inwould highly recommend!

  • 2/5 Mandy E. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is quite terrible. There are 4 people employed but literally only one is working at a time even if there’s a large line and they’re so slow! The foresight and ordering of supplies by the staff is shocking - they have lots of protein options on the menu for the poke bowls but when I was there they had only tofu… they were also out of rice and someone was only just putting some more in the rice cooker when I was ordering. How hard is it to see you’re running out and put some more rice on?? Acai bowl toppings were pretty basic too

    The poke bowl was awful. Plain Quinoa with a few pieces of raw onion, chicken and pepper on top. No flavour, bad texture and over priced. Put 2 stars since it has a nice terrace, might be ok for a coffee, food is one star.

  • 1/5 Kate S. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasteless poke bowl. The only thing that had flavour was the prawns, which tasted off. This was confirmed by the food poisoning that followed. Nice staff but would avoid anything that involves fresh ingredients

  • 4/5 Maria B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice selection of acai, poke and yogurt bowls. Sushi rice can be a bit bland as a base, but the topping selection is enough for a good poke bowl. You can select 2 proteins which is also a nice touch. Coffee machine was broken when we were there. Takeout possible or they have a terrace upstairs.

    Worst poke bowl we have ever eaten! Spicy tuna's freshness was questionable; fortunately it was tossed in sriracha which made it unable to eat because way too spicy! My husband ask for shrimps for his topping and one of the girl came out of the back and said not to served the shrimps as they were not good!!! So he got chicken which was okay but dry. Overall flavorless and disappointing. One the good side they have a little rooftop terrace so that was nice at least.

    Good coffee and a yummy red velvet cake

    Amazing value Brunch meal.

  • 1/5 Yann C. 2 years ago on Google
    Worst pokebowl ever. 3 days old rice, super fatty salmon, fluo vegetables, even the soy sauce had no taste. And quite expensive... Runaway!

  • 5/5 Alina B. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing coffee shop with light meals. Have a lovely terrace upstairs. They have gluten free cakes, muffins, bread and Beer!!! Great place if you're celiac or not. Prices a bit high though. The staff is kind-of disconnected and may be rude at some point, they should work on that.

    The food is edible and can be an option if you need a quick snack to survive the day. While the staff seem friendly, they take forever to make the bowls and need some training (for example, they keep honey in the refrigerator and as a result cannot pour it out from the bottle). The ingredients seem ok, but it tastes just flavorless to be honest.
