Review Acai Brothers - Brighton

Good açai, nice ambience and quick service, but what a waste!!! Only disposable cups available for having in coffee, açai and even the tap water. Quite contradictory to support the Amazon forest and produce so much rubbish. If you care about the environment bring your own cup and bowls. That being said I highly recommend this place but they need to step up their game on waste.

It was my first time here, and I must say, I enjoyed it immensely. "Ain't nothin Butter" bowl is a good first time choice for people who loves Peanut butter.

$10.90 for these and they have no flavour, I’ve been to many Açai places around Australia and I’ve never had to pay so much for so little flavour and serving.

Quite enjoyed ordering from here in the past. However, Acai brothers have been very inconsistent in recent months. Whether its jacking up the delivery fee or having multiple items unavailable to order, its become very disappointing. Your opening times have been very inconsistent as well. I went to order today through uber at around 2pm. Order went through and I went about my business. 5 mins later I get a notification that my order was rejected. Are you closed or open? None of your social media accounts have any clear answer. Not great.

While the healthy option isn't usually at the top of my list, I've been a repeat customer of this little gem of a cafe. The service, atmosphere and delicious menu options have me enjoying my bowl or shake and leaving with a body full of guilt free energy. Love the experience every time and looking forward to my next visit! Check it out! 👍

Hi! Haven’t actually had anything yet but was very excited to try it out! Only to come to the Brighton store at 4:10pm to everything being packed up. The store says it closes at 4:30 which I personally feel as though everything should still be up and running up until that point! I’m sure the açai is great but shouldn’t start packing up until business hours have ended as customer service is a very important aspect in this industry. Thanks for your time!

Terrible acai bowl, the regular size is so small an absolute rip off. Barely any choice on menu. Staff rushed the order. Acai Brothers need to educate themselves on how to make a bowl. Look at Niche and Co in Tugan QLD or Earth Pantry in Kingscliff! Your bowls are far from value for money. Also Combi Elwood, check out their bowls.

Terrific bowl of the lemon flavoured acai and the three fruits selected were fresh. The lady running the shop was very helpful in assisting with my selections. Will definitely be going back when I am next in Brighton.

Loved this place and was a regular 2x weekly customer as was my husband until today . It seems they have reduced the portion size by nearly half, this place does a great açai bowl but it was an expensive treat before they reduced the serving size. Unfortunately I will be taking my custom to the place down the road , for below $10 add ons included nearly double the size !

#Acaibrothers individual dog bowl of fresh water and a treat for one thirsty puppy...and that's before we hopped into our healthy breakies complete with kj advice. Great food and well run business. It's popular and sometimes a small wait but its worth it!

Friendly staff, very good that they have fresh squeeze juice. Coffee way too cool & weak. I don't like "hot", but it was extreme. Probably weak strength because cups were so large & heavy.

Best acai bowls in town!!!! Love the amazing services by the girls

Went into the store today for the first time and was disappointed at the Peanut Butter Nutter smoothie I got. It was like drinking milk with flavoring, for a smoothie I was expecting it to have a thicker creamier consistency. For the price I don't see myself visiting again.

Amazing staff, food is absolutely delicious and the vibe is perfect!!! A must visit!!!!

The best Acai bowls, juices, smoothies, raw treats and coffee in Melbourne!

Worth the visit, awesome food, great service. Check it out, wont be dissapointed....

Y u m m o! So tasty and healthy. Best bowl ever, definitely going back for more!!

Delicious healthy fresh food, caring friendly staff!

Must try! Most delicious acai bowls, smoothies and juices!

Very smooth smoothies and loved the fruit bowl. Great job guys!!!

Absolutely amazing day. Great job guys the food so yummy

I was nearby at an acupuncture appointment (sadly my last for awhile post new stage 4 restrictions) and found yet another Açai Bro’s. It feels like they are popping up on every corner! I added cacao nibs to a regular bowl which is generally my go to though I have been known to mix it up occasionally. The bowls always look different depending on who assembles it on the day but they are consistent in vibrant presentation and that fresh and healthy taste. <br/><br/>Hubs added granola to his today which I have a sneaking suspicion he did on purpose so I don’t eat any of his (the granola has goji berries in it which I am allergic to!) I feel like it’s better value for money to add one topping to the base bowl then to go for one of the other offerings which can become quite expensive.

Great acai. Ive been ordering from here for years! so accomodating as they have great customer service. Every acai i have ever ordered from here always has the freshest ingredients. I feel so healthy and it makes me feel good inside to have this as an option. Ive been coming here in the afternoon or as brunch after the gym. Keeps me so full. I always get the basic one with apple, strawberry and banana. Recently i got the buckini on top of it too and actually enjoyed it. I really want to try the lemon meringue but i cant seem to stray away from my usual.

Great service; quick and friendly and of course yummy Acai bowls!<br/>A great and healthy summer snack full of flavour. <br/><br/>

And that’s what I love about this place.<br/>.<br/>❤️: Got a total of SIX bowls, all different flavors but tasted amazingly well altogether. My favorites were the Raw Nottella 🍫, Lemon Meringue 🍋, and winter special Cinnamon Spice Bowl 🍂.<br/>.<br/>Don’t think I have to say how impressive the toppings are.

Let’s put some acai into our veins?! 🤩🥳<br/><br/>This was undoubtedly one of the best acai-tastic moments of my life! Why? For many many reasons.<br/><br/>First of all, the first place where I tried Acai Brothers was this very same places, over 2 years ago. I remember looking for reviews and opinions about which branch had the best feedback and because I actually wanted to visit Brighton at the time, it was just the perfect fit 🥳 I took the tram from Heidelberg and after spending still a significant time of transportation (DEFINITELY worth it) I went for an Original Bowl with added peanut butter. And I do remember that day like it was yesterday because the bowl was so simple in terms of ingredients yet SO delicious, that I obviously loved the whole experience <br/><br/>Not only did Acai Brothers Brighton with that found a little special place in my heart, but this time, when I visited it was my special little foodie sister birthday. And as true foodie and massive acai lovers that we are, I had some ideas planned and we had to set up something amazing (as usual 😂).<br/><br/>The place is located ideally at Brighton and clearly very popular with the locals (and non locals!) and it was fairly busy at the time we visited - which makes perfect sense because 1-who doesn’t love acai and 2- the quality service here is beyond your wildest dreams.<br/>Even with costumers coming in and out to get their acai fix, Tara, the owner (and the most incredible person ever!) was able to work around it and set up us with a massive dose of 6 mouthwatering bowls of acai and some other treats. But hold on... we’ll get there 😂<br/><br/>I arrived at the venue a little earlier and I was so kindly received and welcomed that my day was already made 🙏 seriously, I feel like sometimes venues don’t see how important service and first impressions are to set up the mood and create a positive environment to what everyone wants it to be a great and unique experience. Plus not only does Tara and Keith have the biggest hearts but actually it was quite a cold day in Melbourne and it was so massively appreciated entering the warm and heartily venue and staying in.<br/><br/>This locations from Acai Brothers is possibly one of the biggest in Melbourne as not only do the have an area with some cosy pillows on the right and left side of the entrance, but they have a long table on the opposite side of the counter for seating and there’s even a backyard! And wow 👏 it is GORGEOUS! There is an enormous Acai Brothers logo on a brick wall that looks very impressive and gives to the area a slight classic Victorian touch. Definitely instaworthy for some incredible shots👌😂 on the side there is also a toll with the logo of the acai brand that they use - Sambazon Acai. Obviously it was winter (and it was even raining when we visited) but this is undoubtedly a delightful place to hang and enjoy some acai bowls on a summer day!<br/><br/>We revised the menu that we were already familiar but that occasionally have some seasonal and special additions and took a look at the treats they had - the range changes frequently but is quite impressive and certainly very VERY approved choices from Cheelful Soul Foods and the only and only ACE cookies. From the usual mouthdrooling Salted Caramel Slices to Twix and even more bold choices like Red Velvet cakes - you can never go wrong with your choice! We also noticed the lattes and were quite curious about them so here’s what we ended up having (side note, trying not to be even more extensive (😂), I’ll describe the bowl and the extra toppings, because all the bowls already come with 3 fruits of your choice and buckinis!):<br/><br/>- Lemon Meringue Bowl with added Vanilla Bean COYO ice cream, ACE cookie dough slice, chocolate sauce & cacao nibs - the base itself is made with a mix of acai, banana, vanilla vegan protein and lemon essential oil and the taste is superb! You can definitely taste the usual acai flavour with an extra hint of sweetness from the lemon oil and protein and I think it really brings up the flavour and makes the bowl really enjoyable! In comparison to chocolate I think this would be an option that many people would enjoy as it creates a simultaneous even more fresh taste to it and they won’t find it ‘overly’ sweet as it can happen when you add chocolate to the acai mix! I would say this is an option for those ones that are looking for a change to the usual original but are not really ready to commit with something more audacious 😂 the ice cream is INSANELY good and I loved loved loved it and could not recommend it more and because it is just (not just, but still, it is a more ‘basic’ flavour) Vanilla Bean, the combination with chocolate sauce and cacao nibs makes it ideal and a pure treat. (In fact, I even asked for more of it while still diving my way into the acai bowls 😂). Lastly but definitely not least - the ace cookie dough - WOW, I mean, WOW. I am a huge fan of ACE and I have tried a few different cookies from them and I actually had tried some pieces of this cookie dough the previous week and almost started drooling even when I saw that they had it in the store 😍🤤 of COURSE I had to ask for it. The consistency is not fudgy but quite firm-ish (similar to marzipan!) and at the same time it’s not too hard, making it very enjoyable and easy to break into smaller portions. The vegan chocolate pieces on it and inside the slice itself and delicious and it’s definitely a good cookie! 😂 loved all this combo and overall I would say this was my second favourite! (Obviously they are all AMAZING and we all have our own preferences, but definitely this was amazing and only surpassed by... 👇)<br/><br/>- Cinnamon Spice Bowl with chocolate sauce, chocolate granola, Chelles Soulfoods chocolate mint slice & red velvet cake triangles - okay, this was our absolute favourite. It is part of their speciality bowls and the base is made with acai, banana, cacao and cinnamon essential oil - if you are a cinnamon lover you will HAVE TO try this one. The flavour is AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING and on top of the acai you have a sneaky bonus of more cinnamon powder! It also came with chocolate granola that was as SO good that we make a mental note (😂) to definitely ask for it in future bowls. We changed the coyo for some extra treats and the again, they did not disappoint! This time we picked up some chocolate mint scours (that all fans will definitely love!) and the most decadent red velvet cake that not only looked beautiful but the fudginess level was beyond a 10/10! 👏 even the inside had crunchy bits! Seriously 👌 we also added some salted caramel sauce and chocolate sauce and if this isn’t a bowl of your dreams, then... I don’t know what is 😂 definitely try this one if you love cinnamon and salted caramel!<br/><br/>- Lemon Bowl with added Vanilla Bean COYO ice cream, chocolate sauce & non edible dandelion (😂): I would possibly rank this as my third favourite. The ingredients of this one are similar to the Lemon Meringue Bowl but just missing the vanilla protein! Again, the taste is quite fresh and every spoon is a pure delight but - and here’s the difference - the taste of the lemon is more intense! It’s very veeeeeeery similar to the other bowl, yes, but for those people that don’t want to add protein or that just fancy a stronger taste of lemon (not bitter - just pure lemon scent and flavour!) this would be a good option. Again, we added a little of ice cream (because it’s never enough right? 😂😇) and the chocolate sauce.<br/><br/>- Mango Passionfruit Bowl with goji berries - I would take this one as my least favourite but I have to say that it was still a good achieved bowl and that probably only happened because we had all the other acai bowls competing with it. The base itself doesn’t actually have an acai and it is made of mango, banana and passionfruit. Sounds like a winning combo right? But actually the taste isn’t like the usual sweet mango smoothie bowl and it was slightly (and unfairly!) bitter in comparison obviously to the others. Still, the passionfruit seeds were very enjoyable and gave a little crunchiness to it and that was definitely a strong aspect. We kept it fairly simple with this one and just added some goji berries - that pair with the base really well - as well as some passionfruit sauce! Actually the sauce is REALLY good and a little more sweet so I would certainly recommend!<br/><br/>- Raw Notella Bowl with COYO natural yogurt, MASSIVE peanut butter and cacao nibs - possibly the bowl that left me with more mixed feelings 😂 I am not a huge fan of coconut yogurt and obviously it is hard to find a yogurt that I actually enjoy but in this case, with that massive extra large spoonful of peanut butter - well, who even cares? 😂 kidding, kidding. Still, even though I can’t say I enjoyed the COYO, my friend did, and the peanut butter was obviously LOVED by both. Seriously when in doubt for toppings, ALWAYS go for the peanut butter. It never fails! Because obviously the bowl was already quite full and overloading, we just added some cacao nibs to it and it was also very much approved. Even not being a fan of coconut yogurt I would pick this as my number 4 because obviously that amount of peanut butter conquers every heart 😂<br/><br/>- Grapefruit Bowl with extra buckinis & coconut shreds - finally the most intriguing and curious bowl! Just a little add of grapefruit essential oil to the base of acai and banana and BAAM. So. Much. Flavour! So so so good! It isn’t bitter at all and for me basically it felt like it was an acai-grape smoothie bowl which I am a massive lover because it always adds that extra natural sweetness to the smoothies! We paired it with some coconut shreds and I think that for next time we can be even a little more bold with the combo and add something like a sauce to see how it works. Either way I did love this base and the whole combo and specially the apple slices were a really good pair here!<br/><br/>- Jaffa latte - we were curious about the new drinks they had on the menu and it’s not frequent to see alternative lattes like these guys have so although we were very tempted to ask for an acai latte, even with so much acai going on already 😂, we felt that we could see how the jaffe latte was and seriously - such an incredible drink! I had never had one of these before and WOW! I didn’t recall the exact ingredients before I tried it and I was completely in love with it after the first sip! It basically is a blend made with acai, chocolate and cinnamon and... orange essential oil!, blended with coconut and almond milk. And I know what most of you can be thinking - ‘meeh, I don’t like chocolate and orange combined’. Well, guess what? Me neither! But it doesn’t really taste like some weird combinations of chocolate orange, which obviously I am not the hugest fan and really can’t eat them without feeling sick. Actually it didn’t even taste like orange at all! It tastes quite similarly to a hot chocolate without being too intense and without too much of a dark chocolate taste - which is very appreciated by me as again I enjoy non-dark chocolates more. I think the touch of acai in there definitely does the special trick here and not only did I throughly enjoy it but also, I will definitely ask for it again! Very well done!<br/><br/>This was possibly one of the best meals I’ve ever had because not only am I a huge acai lover and all the bowls were definitely delicious and incredible but the Acai Brothers Brighton team was BEYONG AMAZING 👏 I won’t wait so much time like last time before visiting this store again, definitely not! I even feel like I want to go back now 😂 pay them a visit for sure!

VEGAN FRIENDLY<br/>The service at Açai Brothers was great. I’ve been to this place twice and have not been disappointed. The Açai bowl I ordered came with my choice of fruit and added extras - I chose peanut butter because - of course! The servings are decent and the prices are average. Inside and outside seating.

We absolutely love the acai here! We always find the service very arrogant, abrupt and unhelpful but can’t go past the delicious açai! Peanut butter and coyo are our favourite toppings!

Staff are really friendly <br/>Fruit are fresh <br/>Doesnt really like how it taste <br/>A bit sour <br/>The ambience is ok <br/>Price is ok <br/>Portion quite generous 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Staff: 3/5<br/>Food: 3/5<br/>Decor: 3/5<br/>Price: 2/5<br/>Will return? Yes if in the area <br/><br/>I really enjoyed the lemon meringue açai bowl but my friend wasn’t too keen on the peanut butter one. I’d return if in the area although it was extremely pricey!

Acai Brothers. <br/>I’ve heard about Acai brothers but i thought it was ‘just another acai place’ and since i have had acai at other places in Melbourne which weren’t that good i initially wasn’t very excited, however my friend decided she would get and then i could try and get one of my own if i liked it. <br/>I ended up getting my own. <br/>IT WAS JUST SO GOOD!<br/>I got the ‘Original bowl’ ($11) with Apple, banana and strawberries and took out the buckini. <br/>YUM!<br/>Will definitely come back to feed my new addiction<br/><br/>Thanks, Ice Cream of Melbourne

This place is awesome for acai bowls! The bowls are reasonably priced and they are always packed with toppings. You get to choose three fruits for each bowl which I think is super generous! I always get the small bowl but I can never finish it! The staff are also really friendly too. Recommend coming here for your acai fix!

The açai bowls were so good 👌🏼👌🏼 also tried the lemon lime cheesecake and would definitely recommend 💕 I love how there’s so many options and you can choose different fruits for toppings 👍🏼 only downside is that’s a little pricy 😕

I love this place! Went here after a hike and I ordered the Raw Jaffa bowl, and absolutely loved it. I picked watermelon, strawberry and banana and it went perfect with the base. The smoothie base was thick and has lots of natural sweetness, and I loved the orange essence flavour that went with the Jaffa bowl. Staff were extremely friendly and nice.

Amazing food, friendly staff and a great experience. Lovely little seating area out the back and some seating inside. Great place to go with friends, great menu and good for kids.<br/>

Yum! Can't go wrong with my peanut butter bowl. Delicious, fresh and peanutbuttery! Lots of choices on the menu and friendly smiles from the staff. Bit of a price to pay for a small bowl but can't say I wouldn't go<br/>Again!

Oh my gosh! I loved this place, the original bowl was so good and the smoothies are yum! <br/>My option has changed drastically <br/><br/>I have just got back from acai bros Brighton with a frown on my face. I had the raw choc peppermint bowl and it was disgusting, wayyy to much peppermint oil. It was so gross I only ate the fruit toppings.<br/><br/>My dad had the chocolate one which was ok but didn't really match the acai flavour.<br/><br/>Anyway, do not get these bowls!

I absolutely love this place! I come usually once a month, the acai tastes great and the fruit is always super fresh! The staff are always really nice as well!

I love this place! I go every weekend love the food the people and the whole vibe. I think it's really cool they always seem to have events and special deals going on! Highly recommend

They make great acai here and have a delicious range of toppings and mixtures! It is a little bit pricy for the amount you get, but overall it's a great place to grab a healthy breakky or lunch! 🐷

Love this place! The girls who work there are always so kind and there's heaps of different flavours to choose from. Can't get past the lemon bowl though!! 😍

It's my first visit, staffs are friendly - thanks for the staff who patiently designed something close to my taste! :)<br/>Taste is so-so, but I guess it's one of the nicest acai bowls in Melbourne!

Great area, lovely staff and good service. The Acai could be better but I can't say I didn't enjoy it. The bliss balls are also a great snack to grab on your way by!

Made my day literally walking into this place..So impressed.Taste, texture and pure fresh goodness all in one bowl.A well deserved 5 and l am incredibly fussy but they nailed it.The peanut butter bowl was yum from the first mouthful.Protein balls are addictive.And the coffee l couldn't fault,staff lovely and informative.So can't wait to return🐱💓💓

Always love finding new places to eat Acai! I love how you can make your own choices rather than just getting what's on the menu. <br/>A little pricey but still yummy!

So glad this place has opened up locally, the staff are gorgeous and as friendly as you could hope for. Some may consider the prices excessive but for the quality of the produce and the majority being organic I think it's quite fair! The menu is awesome with great vegan options, especially the raw treats. Can't wait to go back and try everything!

I was so disappointed with this place and i love acai bowls. Had high expectations as this place specialised in acai bowls. Serving was small wasnt decorated that nicely and taste of the raw nutella was'nt there. My paper cup was served quick but dirty.

$19 for the treat yo' self bowl with some fruit and shredded coconut seemed pretty excessive to me however, it tasted alright and was a good size so I'll give them that. Although my boyfriend ordered the mango smoothie with added protein and we couldn't even taste mango and it just tasted like watery coconut milk. Good service.
