Sao Acai Brings Good Vibes and Smoothie Bowls to Culver City

By Samantha Dockser

Sao Acai is Culver City’s newest place for all things smoothie. They’ve been open just a month and already this spot is hot! Owner, Cory Heenan, has a background in sales, which certainly gives him an edge. He clearly knows what the people of LA want. Sao Acai connects to a beautiful, hip boutique. And with a SoulCycle right across the street, there is not reason people with a single athletic bone in their body shouldn’t be flocking to this Culver City Mecca.

Sao Acai serves only the highest quality acai and pitaya based bowls and smoothies. And what’s more is they are committed to using sustainable, market-driven produce with a focus on wellness and nutrition.

My friend Blair and I stopped into Soa Acai after completing a SoulCycle class and these bowls hit the spot! Blair ordered an Original Acai Bowl. Made with acai, apple juice, banana, and strawberry, this bowl is then topped with granola, cutup banana and strawberry, and then drizzled with honey. It’s a classic, always delcious, and a good starting place if you don’t eat Acai Bowls often.

I tried the Berry Acai Bowl. It is made with Acai, Almond Milk, banana, blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry. It is then topped with granola, cutup banana and strawberries, blueberries, goji berries, and drizzled with honey. I was in heaven.
