Sweet Soul St. Pete - SAINT PETERSBURG

Just here for the ice cream. Only three flavors, charcoal, vanilla and chocolate. The chocolate doesn't look right, so went for charcoal. Tasted like regular ice cream, but I guess there must be some small amount of charcoal in it.

Loved the probiotic pudding picking out my delicious toppings! It reminded me of rice pudding which I adore. Also very filling so I ate the rest for breakfast.

We have frequented the sweet soul location in Tampa- top notch service and food. This location is beyond disappointing. I wonder if the owner even realizes what a world of difference this is and it must be corrected. The workers are less than enthusiastic, the toppings are laughable, and the cafeteria style seating is just not fun. Will not come back.

I tried the Acai bowls a few times. Each time they left off toppings that I ordered. I paid extra for extra toppings and never got those. Such a small amount of toppings were added even for the ones they got correct. Basically ate a bowl of frozen Acai blend. Only offered one type of granola and it was a little stale and very bland. Will be moving on from Sweet Soul.

I'm not sure why people like sweet Soul especially when there are several other açaí places in the area that provide much better quality. This is the second time I got an açaí bowl from them and was highly disappointed. The açaí is prepackaged and completely frozen so you are unable to eat it unless you wait awhile for it to defrost but if you wait too long you are left with liquid. Every other place I've been to has never given me a prepackaged frozen mix and the consistency is usually like soft serve. In addition sweet soul raised their price but is frequently out of toppings. It's also disappointing that they changed how you order so you can no longer see the topping and see what appears to be the most fresh. The reason I'm giving them two stars is because their tapioca pudding and cookies and very good but I definitely wouldn't recommend the açaí bowls.
