Roots & Rye

Great prices (please don't raise them!), friendly staff, and great bowls. Love this little alley, can't wait to explore more around here.

Love açaí bowls and truly appreciated the 'create your own!' Sweet and savory creation!

Everything you want in an açai spot!

New favorite spot! Really great menu options, unlimited toppings for no extra price, and great quality food & service! Will be back again. I will say that it’s very hidden/discreet (I’ve walked by many times and only noticed when we looked up a smoothie place). Maybe needs some more sidewalk attraction to get people in… but highly recommend!

Super patient workers took extra care with my orders and helped me get the right match for me and my kids. Highly recommend to go in and say hi to them, they are super sweet. Bowls are bomb too

Jake Stevenson

Great choices. This place has great Açaí bowls. A ton of topping choices and the staff is super friendly. Don’t miss if you like açaí

My new favorite acai place in Pasadena. In a cute little alley way, all the toppings you want. DELISH

Sam Dee

Well priced, good value, lots of options, build your own bowl including lots of options for bases and toppings. Not many seating options but overall worth a visit if you are in the mood for a bowl 😊

Andrew Edwards

The service is friendly A ton of options you can pile on without causing a dollar each Everything's fresh and the perfect taste

Love this place and definitely will be back. The small bowl was so filling, and unlimited toppings? Yes please!! Delicious. (My picture doesn’t do it justice!) Can’t wait to return, and also to try their toast. 😊 The two ladies working were also very nice!

Went back to their usual awesome service. We tried other acai and the taste doesn't compare. *** Update: Their acai are still good, its just that they increased the price and then skimp on the ingredients. You can almost count the amount they put of the granolas and nuts you selected as toppings. I mean fine, increase the price but don't cut on the ingredients. It should be either or, not both. **** Their Acai has a good consistency. Thr selection of ingredients are very good. The flavours of any of the mix is delicious. They have no outside seating.

Hands down my favorite breakfast in the world. The açaí bowls here are on another level! They just hit different. 🫐🍌🍓 Personal fav: Young coconut, acai, green matcha, chia seeds, toasted coconut, banana, blueberry, goji berries, cocoa nibs, honey & peanutbutter. 🤩

11/10 spot! I could never say enough nice things about this place. They have the best options and so many toppings...which you can get unlimited of!! I wish I could go here every day/week!! Definitely my favorite acai bowl spot in all of LA.

Great selection of healthy and dairy free smoothies and bowls. You can choose unlimited toppings for bowls and smoothies plus unlimited bases for the bowls. The fruit was fresh and tasty. I will come back if in town

I go to places like this a lot but Roots and Rye is hands down the best! The staff is so friendly and they can answer any questions that you have. The açaí bowls are AMAZING and have seriously the best options available. You can mix and match your bowl base and can have as many toppings as you want. If you looking for a healthy meal this is the place to go! Absolutely delicious!

Best açaí bowls around, no extra charge for toppings, and no extra charge to make creative bases! Highly recommend a base of Açaí, Young Coconut, and Chia Pudding. Best combo imo.

Not a big fan of açaí bowls in general but this wasn’t bad at all. The place is pretty sure and in an alley. Not many seats inside so most likely you will be eating out.

Not an expert in açaí bowls, but the bowl from Roots & Rye I had was amazing! They have tons of options for customizing your bowl, and rather than feel overwhelmed with all these ingredients I didn’t recognize, I actually had fun choosing everything. Prices were really good considering how much fruit and everything you get. I recommend adding the oat base!

unlimited nut butter? say less; got the young coconut smoothie and the nut butter options immediately hooked me, but in hindsight i wish i'd subbed the pinapple out for a truly nutty blend. still creamy, tad melty? and nicely sweet but it leans rather too tropical for me, plus a small straw option would've been the cherry on top 🫠

Charles Sichel-Outcalt

Yes, they have unlimited toppings. Yes, the selection is quite good. But… my friend’s avocado toast mysteriously had no avocado. We chose several different bases, and they were almost all too sweet for breakfast. The Pitata was especially more like ice cream than a breakfast. One of those places I wanted to love, but it just didn’t match expectations.

Being 2 minutes away, I wanted to try it. It's usually a long wait but the straw that broke the camel's back came yesterday. It's the fact they will take your order online 30 minutes before closing, then give you an estimate beyond closing time. To boot, you cannot get anyone on the phone. I got there at EXACTLY 7:00 p.m. They've charged me for the order already. But there's NO way to refund. Hard Pass! Doubtful anyone reads this. Waste of $$$.
