Cute little place with a great vibe and atmosphere.
The loaded açai was delicious, with all the ingredients tasting really fresh. Definitely worthy of the name Holy Bowly!
The coffee wasn’t memorable but definitely wasn’t bad.
Overall a great place for brunch and a catch up.
Friendly staff. We had the snickers bowl which was delicious. Very filling
YUM!
What a great little find in Hampton.
A group of us visited last week and tried a variety of things on the menu and loved how tasty they all were. Who knew you could eat so healthy and it would taste so good.
Staff were very friendly and accommodating and we noticed lots of customers come with dogs, who were given a doggy treat!
Loved the Holy Bread that they make in-house and was able to purchase a loaf from the fridge to take home for later.
We will be back.
The best jackfruit burger I have ever had! The accompaniment of the pickle surprising goes very well with the burger (I usually hate pickles). Love the coffee and the acai bowls as well. Disappointing when it is so busy though, the amount of times I have not been able to dine there because there have been no spots available is a shame.
yum yum yum yum yum Delicious bowl
Combinations! Nice cozy place. Take a seat, pick what you’d like and order at the counter. Staff are lovely and they’re recommendations were spot on and amazing
Delish & Nutricious @holy_bowly .
Packed with an icy punch of all things sweet: crying health, which is an absolutely FANTASTIC thing. Do yourself a favour and try one of these health booting-refresher to get you moving...you'll thank me later

I’m a huge acai fan and obviously I had to pay Holy Bowl a visit! Not only do they stock Purple Foods acai (my favourite brand!) but they have such an incredible selection of smoothies and smoothie bowls that it was definitely hard to make up my mind about what to have!
With so many options to choose from I decided to choose a mango passionfruit bowl with an extra scoop of icecream on top and an acai smoothie.
The consistency of both things were perfect and the taste was amazing! The serving size was excellent too (seriously impressive 👌) and the only thing I wish I the bowl had had would have been more toppings, because wouldn’t change anything else about it!
Holy Bowly is placed very closed to the beach but we all know how Melbourne weather is - close to 4 seasons in one minute. Luckily, it’s California pal trees decor will make you feel that you are living a happy tropical summer day regardless of the weather!
I will definitely be back to try an acai bowl and I know it will not disappoint!
My favourite place to go for breakfast in Hampton/ Brighton. My partner and I go there about twice a week to get their peanut butter Acai bowl which is delicious. I have had so many açai bowls that taste too sweet or have a weird artificial taste but this one is perfect and the peanut butter they use is amazing. I haven't tried many of the hot dishes bar the Falafel bowl which is really good. The coffee is always great and the staff are lovely and always super friendly!

What a cute little cafe that has really friendly staff. Menu was very easy to read and the food was really quick to come out.
I had the cauliflower salad, which was a very small serving so I’d recommend ordering something else with your meal too. The taste of the salad how ever was really yummy, With the help of the pomegranate seeds making every bite feel like an explosion of flavour.
My friend had the superfood bowl 🍲 the serving size was perfect. The flavour of the meal was actually unreal. We couldn’t get enough bite after bite. The tempeh was by far the best tempeh we’ve had to date. Tasted exactly like heavily flavoured chicken. Still can’t get over that tempeh.
The only downfall was the ordering set up. That to me was the most frustrating thing ever. Surely you can spare a staff member to take orders from the comfort of your own seat. When we went up to place our order, somebody took our table. Which is extremely annoying having no where to sit. Not to mention the lady who had to battle her annoyed baby and standing at the counter to order.
Over all, very good. Definitely recommend
I really wish I could give this place a better rating but it just keeps missing the mark. It is so overpriced for what you get as the food is quite average. In saying that though, the acai bowls and the smoothies are quite good. The service isn't the greatest and you have to wait awkwardly to be seated at the front door which either means you block other patrons or you walk to the counter where you're in the way of other patrons. Probably would only come here again if everything else was closed
Great little healthy cafe on Hampton Street. They have all the good stuff from Acai bowls to smoothies. The avocado is my fave and it's to die for. They also do great coffee!
I really wanted to give this place a 5 star rating because they offer such an extensive range of vegan options and that is SO hard to find anywhere outside of Fitzroy. Alas, the burger I ordered was quite dry and hard to eat as it was so tall ;( the coffee was also quite small for the price. Overall not bad, but could be improved. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong dish - next time I will try a bowl, as the namesake suggests!
Love this place! The matcha iced tea is just delicious. In love with the Bowls 💕 the only issue is the price can be a bit steep on some items such as the delicious chicken toastie ($16.50).
Had a quick brunch here with a vegan friend of mine.
On arrival I was excited to see a plethora of vegan options. As I'm an Acai junky I had to give it a try accompanied with a soy latte.
The latte was quite nice, made with bonsoy the texture was on point and a great blend off coffee to Soy
The Acai bowl was quite nice I could just use a little more of that Acai flavour but still enjoyable.
I've had a few around Melbourne, and have no doubts Holy Bowly has the best acai bowl in this city. With friendly staff and the ever-elusive Bulletproof coffee on the menu.. this place is a paleo dream. If only it were closer..
Lovely food and great staff. The woman who runs it is so kind and dedicated to giving each customer a great experience. Can't go wrong here.
Offering lots of healthy items, it was great to finally get down and try this place out! This peanut butter Acai was delicious! The Coyo complimented the home made peanut butter perfectly. We also loved the vegan burger- big and colorful! A great cafe when you want a healthy and quick meal!

Holy Bowly is constantly filled with people of all ages looking for a healthy feed that still tastes good, and is reasonably priced. The cafe is small, with the kitchen and front counter area all visible from the seating area, but this just adds to the local, home-style feel that Holy Bowly exudes. A range of healthy drinks, superfood (acai) bowls, healthy lunches and raw homemade treats are available to choose from. The Peanut Butter Acai Bowl is heaven for my fellow PB lovers, but you have to like the 'healthy' type (no Kraft found here). With a base of acai, banana and coconut water, topped with coconut shavings, yoghurt, PB strawberries, this was one filling and delicious bowl, leaving me feeling nourished inside. My friend went with the Protein Acai Bowl (base of acai, banana, raw protein powder and almond milk, topped with coconut flakes, goji, kiwi, strawberries and Forage Paleo granola). For a drink, the Raw Hot Chocolate tastes healthy despite its rich and chocolatey flavours, which I really enjoyed. A great superfood bar for the southsiders looking for a healthy and nourishing feed, that doesn't skimp on flavour or personality.
Had high hopes for this place after reading so many good reviews on it but have to admit now I came out quite disappointed. Although our meals (Mexican bowl, smashed peas and vegan lentil burger) were healthy, yes, they were also quite dry and unimpressive, perhaps with the exception of the burger. However, I think the biggest disappointment was the service. We were not greeted upon entering and awkwardly stood there for a couple minutes right in front of the staff before figuring out for ourselves that we take our own seat. We were hardly acknowledged by the staff for the remainder of our time there. On the plus side, coffees and smoothies were great! Takeaway acai bowls and other goodies in the cabinet looked delish so may have to come back for a takeaway next time, but certainly not sit down again.
Glorious food.Clean yummy ingredients.The Acai bowls are a little bit of heaven...and the raw treats are kinda addictive💙💖💖💖Puts a smile on my face everytime🐱
Had lunch here and it was amazing, the Winter Warmer bowl and chocolate smoothie were delicious 👌👌 The people were friendly and there were lots of choices and a nice atmosphere
Came here for some lunch with friends. Decided on the abundance bowl ($16). Was delicious and healthy but a little bit dry (needs some sauce). Service was friendly. Would come back again.
Thought I would try this little place out! Its cute a cosy and in the corner! Love the styling! Heaps of options to choose from! Good Coffee and food was delivered fast and presented well. Customer service needs work for a 5 for me. Didn't ask what size I wanted my coffee or bowl? Not too much of a smile or acknowledgment?
I loved all of the yummy and healthy food and drinks and even got some take away treats for later. Staff are friendly and service is quick. I Will definitely be back!
Love this place! Thought it was going to be too trendy and too healthy for me - but the food is amazing - and coffee is good too.
The Acai Bowls are super filling and yum. Zesty Overnight Oats are my new fav.
Well done - I'll be back many times. The only downside is that the inside seating area is so small, it make take a while to get a seat. But worth the wait.
The superfood bowl was delicious as were the soy chai lattes. We decided to try this place as we were in the mood for something fresh and healthy in preparing for an American dinner that was to come later that night, we wanted to virtually absorb no calories beforehand. This is an impressive cafe and I will be sure to return.
Dined here for the first time & loved it. The staff are super friendly & were so patient as I asked so many questions. The food was delicious & nutritious at the same time. I had the Abundance Bowl which was a hit. The Raw Pad Thai was good as well. Great coffee too.
UPDATE: The same smoothie has now increased in price by 35% overnight from $10 to $13.50! $13.50 is just nuts for a non-organic smoothie. And if you need to adjust pricing why so much at once? I will still come in, but less frequently and won't be bringing an extra smoothie home for my husband anymore.
I adore Holy Bowly and come here every chance I get, which is about weekly as I am local. There are so many unique, healthy and tasty items with generous portions. I love trying new creations, but also love many amazing staples - the matcha coconut latte, holy greens alkalizing smoothie, the omelette etc. My only advice is that they stay open later on Sundays, this place is always packed and closing at 2pm on a Sunday is so early. Also, the smoothie machine is really loud if you are dinning in, maybe this could be moved into the kitchen. Either way I am a happy customer. Staff all seem friendly, happy and helpful as well.
Been here quite a few times and the food is consistently delicious, organic and wholesome. The acai bowls as well as the green veg breakfast is so so yum, as well as the fresh juices (cold pressed on site). The takeaway is also spot on, with fresh salads, raw sweets as well as healthy cereals, proteins and snack foods. Staff and owner both very friendly and seem to really care about nutrition and quality of food.
Love the idea of this place, love the location and love what they stand for.
Their fit out is simple, but beautiful, i love their little retail area. The roll that i got was incredible. It was on the pricier side for a sandwich but it was fresh and their ingredients were beautiful.
Fantastic place!!! Had brunch here with my friend and couldn't fault it! Staff were super friendly and service was super quick! I had a cappuccino and a peanut butter Acai bowl. Having had many disappointing Acai bowls in the past I nearly didn't order one here but I'm so glad I did. Was just delicious and a good substantial size! Coffee was possibly the best I have had in a LONG time! This place has heaps of vegan and vegetarian options as well as catering for meat eaters! My friend and I can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu! The salads look incredible as do all the raw cakes and smoothies! Highly recommend!
I had a really nice experience with my friend here today . The staff were lovely and helpful we both had the peanut butter acai which was just delicious probably the best I've had with all the different flavours I loved the muesli and the peanut butter was exactly what I felt like . We both can't wait to eat our way through the menu ! I love the fact it is an allergy friendly cafe . I have allergies and there were so many options I could choose from and the staff told me I could alter anything . Can't wait to come back !
Food is great people a lovely. My husband and I are regulars. Lovely vibe inside. The place to come is you love high quality food with attention to detail.
Really really great cafe! I was looking for a nice filling healthy snack and I found that easily inside holy bowly! Great set out and location! Thumbs am up for this amazing place :)
Love this place! My fave little local smoothie and healthy choice! Tasty food and raw treats. Super friendly and personal service! Only downer is the chai - they use great prana chai, but it's weak and ordinary.
Absolutely delicious -- been the last 2 days and smoothies are out of this world. Acai Bowls are a must try as well. Owner and workers super friendly
Amazing!!!!. I absolutely love this place!! It has the most amazing healthy smoothies, snacks and salads. The staff are always so friendly. I had my first piece of their homemade to bread today and it was the best I have ever had!
Fabulous food and coffee - great space
We will be back !!!!!. Great service, avo smash and organic coffee amazing !!! Well Done Guys !!
We tried two dishes, the Asian Chicken burger & the Mexican bowl. They were both delicious & you could tell it was made with quality ingredients.
My partner thought it was great that the Mexican bowl was not filled with just nachos & the chillies added that punch
The only small issue was that there should have been more stuff with the Asian Chicken Burger.
We both tried the kale juice which was a great top up for breakfast!
Very healthy menu but that doesn't mean it's not tasty or creative. I had the Mexican bowl with cashew cream, guacamole, corn chips, brown rice and black beans with tomato, onion. A filling option that was very reasonably priced. Large coffee was perfect with many milk choices available. Cute light area with led light window details, no table service though and you'll need to order before 230pm if you want food.
Friendly staff, delicious coffee & tasty yet healthy food!
Highly recommended the Holy Bowly almond milk latte and avocado toast. One of the best all-round breakfast options in Hampton St.
Only con is the order at counter, everything else experienced is top notch.
Fresh food!
Had the Moroccan lamb and keto bowl, both great.
Walked past and saw a couple eating huge green bowls, so we did the same. Massive serves, delicious food, great value. And healthy!
