As summer is nearing and the temperature is rising, it’s time to start getting ready for refreshing warm weather foods like açaí bowls. Nothing is as satisfying as supporting a small local business that not only has great people but also fresh ingredients and delicious menu options.
Located in Old Town Square in downtown San Clemente, Aloha Açaí Bowls & Coffee serves (like their name implies) acaí bowls and does it best. They offer a clean environment with friendly staff and make sure your experience is as welcoming and inviting as possible. They have a variety of different toppings ranging from Nutella and peanut butter to fresh fruit, so there’s something for everyone.
Aloha Açaí is a perfect spot to visit for more than just a pickup order; they also have outdoor seating that allows customers to eat their bowls while soaking up the warm San Clemente sun. If you choose to take it on the go, Aloha Açaí is only a three-minute drive to the beach. A sunset stroll while eating a fresh açai bowl is a great way to spend your afternoon. Or, come stop by in the morning and grab a cup of coffee alongside your bowl to sip while you sit on the beach and watch the surfers rip.
“After a hard day of school I always try to reward myself with a treat and my go-to place is always Aloha Açaí,” said senior Mirca Gomez. “There are so many good options, but I’d have to say my favorite bowl is the T-Street—with added peanut butter on top, of course,” Gomez added.
If you’ve never been to Aloha Açaí, make sure to add it to your list. It’s easy to miss, but once you go once there’s no turning back, and I think it’s safe to say that there are worse addictions to have.
