I was introduced to The Purple Bowl by my kids, who had been raving about how good it is. Thinking that perhaps they were simply new to the taste of aΓ§aΓ bowls, I was absolutely delighted to discover, once I visited, that it was the BEST aΓ§aΓ bowl Iβd ever had. Things I LOVE about The Purple Bowl: 1) The opportunity to get an aΓ§aΓ base with protein in it, 2) A fantastic selection of fruits and toppings to satisfy whatever my tastebuds are seeking, 3) Counter Culture coffee, 4) yummy avocado toast, 5) great indoor / outdoor aesthetic 5) WONDERFUL service from Paula, Kevin, Grace, and Team. Itβs ALWAYS a delight to visit!

Update: So, now I'm a bit addicted to Acai bowls, haha. And I've tried them at 2 other places (Everbowl and Playa Bowls) and Purple Bowl is the best!! Original Review: Ok, I will admit this was my first Acai Bowl (How I got this far in life without one is a mystery...). It was an incredibly delicious and layered taste explosion. The creamy iciness of the base (Acai with Hemp protein and hemp milk) layered with crispy granola, sweet berries and bananas, chocolate chips, coconut and honey. Oh my! I thought they did a fabulous job. All of the ingredients were fresh, creamy and crunchy, not overly sweet. A huge plus was the ability to BYO, so I could maneuver around my dietary intolerances/allergies. I actually have not had an Acai Bowl prior to this because there were not enough base options, with nuts in too many places. The hemp milk and protein were a game changer for me. I would have liked sunflower butter, which would have made it perfect (only nut butters). The atmosphere is fine, seating is comfortable. I prefer a cozier atmosphere. The acoustics weren't great either with high ceilings and cement floors. But it was fine. But sure I'd go here to curl up with a good book th

Awesome aΓ§ai bowl place. Absolutely delicious & healthy. My favorite menu item was the protein bowl. I ate here 3 times during my weekend trip to Chapel Hill. The people who work there are friendly. It's a popular spot. Each time I visited it was busy with college students.

The acai bowls are very good, and the place has a nice vibe and convenient location. The avocado toast was delicious as well. You can find parking nearby (near the bike shop). The workers are also so nice! But I think the prices are a bit steep for what you're getting. The toast was more bare than I expected. And the bowl sizes should increase or the bowls should come with more toppings to make the bowl prices justified. But despite the price, this is an excellent place to get an acai bowl. I will definitely come again when I want an acai bowl!
