About The Acai Spot“We believe that the world deserves to enjoy açaí in its best form possible.”
The first Açaí Spot coffee shop officially opened on April 9th, 2015, born out of the idea to have a cosy, well-decorated coffee shop that specialises in açaí products. From that day onwards, every time that you enter our coffee shop, you will find a beautiful environment, friendly staff and products made with love.
Being healthy has never tasted so good!
“Love Yourself! Love The Açaí Spot!”
What is AcaiThe açai (ah-sigh-ee) berry is an inch-long, reddish, and purple fruit and an exotic relative of blueberries and cranberries.
It comes from the açaí palm (Euterpe Oleracea), a native tree to the Amazon Forest in Brazil. The açaí grows in most of the Amazon, and it will bring you incredible benefits.
This antioxidant-rich fruit has for centuries has been known as a healing, immune-stimulating, and energy-boosting fruit.
Our MenuThe foundation of our menu is our tasty and refreshing açai bowls and açai fruit mixes. For our bowls, we take our brand of açai and blend it with banana, topped off with the customer’s choice of toppings from fresh fruits, seeds, superfoods, homemade nut butter and our own brand of crunchy granola.
The Instagram perfect fruit mixes have a base of premium Greek yoghurt or homemade coconut chia pudding, then a layer of two fruits and one choice of seeds all topped with our refreshing açai.
We added freshly made salads and sandwiches and cheese buns, which gives our customers a diverse menu with the ingredients sourced with as much love as our açai.
What is a coffee shop without coffee? We have partnered with an incredible roastery in Dubai which sources their beans from Brazil and roasts them in Dubai.
After tasting many cups of coffee from many suppliers, we believe this is the best tasting cup of coffee.
