Backyard Bowls is absolutely incredible. Huge selection of açai smoothie bowls, and you can get whatever you want on top- yum yum YUM! They also have quinoa cereal, oatmeal, and other yummy breakfast-y bowls, and a great assortment of plant milk options! Pretty much anything on their menu can be made vegan, just make sure to not have them put bee pollen or honey on your bowl if you don't eat honey the like. I cannot recommend this place enough, though! You absolutely must give it a try if you're in the area!

I got the 3 berry oatmeal bowl and it was very tasty and filling. We both subbed honey for agave with no problem. Will definitely be going back!

It does take quite a while for your order so I recommend ordering online beforehand if you are in a rush. They did mess up my order the last day and I didn't have time to wait. A lot of items have honey and/or bee pollen, which you can sub both with other things. They didn't sub both last time but I had to just deal with it. It's a little pricey but large portions are healthy food.
