Genuine Fresche – Tempe

Thrive’s strawberry passion bowl tasted great! The bowl didn’t have much pineapples and strawberries. Most of it was just the blended acai sorbet. Another thing is that the bowl had a lot of honey. I was able to taste the chunks of honey in there. It tasted really sweet, but a lot of unnatural ingredients were being used. I’m down to try this place again if they add more toppings and use more natural ingredients. I want a bowl that’s healthier than frozen yogurt.

I loved this place when I first discovered it, I have brought my friends and family here several times. I’ve filled a total of 3 punch cards over the past 4 months of discovering this place. However cut to 1÷8÷2016 I called and ordered 2 bowls (because they take forever to make them) for pick up and requested a small amount of granola. Upon picking them up I realized they actually put a heaping amount of granola which made it hard to enjoy, secondly the two bowls that I ordered Tropical and the Go green made me and my sister both nauseous, light headed and dizzy while we were eating them and after. This was all we had ate since breakfast, so it wasn’t anything else. I called to inquire if anyone else had experienced this feeling and the person who answered wasn’t even paying attention to the call, he was talking to someone else. The feeling that we both felt which has slowly subsided isn’t «Natural». I will not be eating here ever again sadly.

I usually order the Chocolate Peanut Butter or Chocolate Walnut bowl and they are amazing. Great post workout treat.

Had the tropical Acai bowl which came w
Mangos, coconut and peach Acai sorbet. I prefer the original over the tropical because of the strawberries and blueberries and dark sorbet. I give this place a 3 star. It’s alright but there’s definitely better out there — the customer service could be better as well

The first time I had an acai bowl was in Hawaii and they’ve become quite popular in other cities since then. The health food industry has grown. I love the concept of an acai bowl with fresh fruits, granola and whatever else you want to put on top, sweetened with honey. I had the original acai bowl. Medium size. The portion was a good size for the price. The acai mixture with blueberries and strawberries I believe, was a good flavor. A little loose in consistency, I wish it was slightly thicker but the flavors were good. The granola was fresh and crunchy and the fresh fruits were indeed fresh. It was sweetened perfectly. I would definitely come back for a nice healthy breakfast next time I’m in Phoenix. The tropical bowl was also good. Acai blended with mango and I believe pineapples! Lots of different bowls to choose from and they come in 3 sizes! Questioning the health factor of the acai sorbet but it tastes good!

I’m from CA the LA area there are acai places everywhere and this is not a acai bowl! They use sorbet.
The restaurant from the walk in had a smell to it it’s very plain and not decorated well. No one greeted us! One of the girls was sitting on the back counter eating pizza or a sandwich ummm yuck!!! Won’t be retuning can’t wait to be home for a real acai bowl!!!

We went here twice on our short stay in AZ. Bowls were a refreshing and healthy option on a hot AZ day. Lots of bowl choices and the menu outlines exactly what’s in the bowl and what each bowl is topped with – that was nice. I had the Blackberry Walnut and Raspberry Lime. Both good. Bowls are huge, and I’m pretty sure they’re bigger if you choose to stay. We got mediums both time but one time to go and one time to stay and the bowl seemed to be way bigger when we stayed and ate in the store. Prices are average for an acai bowl.

Not a bad place for acai bowls. Staff is friendly, bowls are flavorful and generous, usually don’t have to wait too long, not horribly expensive. The peanut butter chocolate bowl gives me life. The only things I’m not a fan of is how dumpy and dirty the inside of the store is. I never see anyone here, the place could stand to have a good cleaning/​repainting!!!

Not impressed by this place at all. Honestly, I had pretty high expectations because a few friends of mine really like it here.
I got the Go Green bowl which sounded amazing, so I was pretty excited. It surprisingly took awhile before I got my order and I was the only customer there. All you have to do is blend the fruits together and add toppings. There were 2 people working in the «kitchen» and one in the front. Oh wait, one working in the kitchen and one was just on her phone.
Anyway, I took my food to go and was pretty excited, but when I took my first bite I realized… This bowl doesn’t have much taste! Seriously, all the blend was BLAND. I don’t know why! Also, the strawberries on top, though the were few, were too ripe. I like a nice tart strawberry on top of my bowl to balance the sweetness that would have came from the blend and the honey on top. One positive, the granola is delicious!

15 different available bowl options plus smoothies, & snacks. Available bowls are a tasty sorbet type treat/​meal. Store is a little boring inside & small but you don’t come for the ambiance you come for the bowls which are delicious. Service can be a little slow at times but well worth the wait. Try it, you know you want to.

Smoothie was good and priced appropriately. Environment could be a little it more cleaner and put together.

I went to Thrive for the first time yesterday. It’s a really cute and small establishment and the employees were very friendly.
I was kind of overwhelmed by the amount of options for acai bowls. I ended up getting a chocolate peanut butter acai bowl and my friend got the original. They were delicious! The peanut butter was really filling and the fruit seemed very fresh. I’ll definitely be back again!

Ive gotten a smoothie here a couple of times and they are always really good. They pack a ton of fruits and veggies into the smoothies, including kale and spinach, but they don’t taste like greens. It’s pretty pricey for the smoothies, but I think the bowls are actually pretty reasonable compared to other acai bowl places I’ve seen. I wish the menu had descriptions of the smoothies because it would be easier than asking the person working there to tell me the contents of each one.

Small shop, nearby, and I was a very hungry vegan. Ordered two smoothies with companion. Smoothies were delicious however they cook 30 minutes (yes, really) to make. We had ordered small sizes and it seemed like so little for such a long wait. There were at least three staff working and only two other tables.
Disappointed.

Location: it is a small shop with 4 – 5 tables in it. Overall it is very clean and cozy to hang out with a few friends at night.
Service: friendly.
Food: for those of you who like healthy eating, they have a great selection of items that you might like. Most items have lots of filters and fruits in them.
Rating: I’ll come back here again to try something else.

This place is acai-​mazing! Seriously I’m sad I no longer live in the area so I can’t frequent this place more often. They exclusively sell acai bowls, pitaya bowls, smoothies and some protein powder and quest bars. So… don’t come here for a sandwich and act surprised.
What I love…
–nutrition facts available
–chocolate peanut butter bowl
–plentiful nuts and granola on top
–even a small is super filling
–satisfies my sweets craving with natural sugars
–chocolate peanut butter bowl
–perfect consistency. It’s just like fro-​yo. I’ve wasted time and money trying to make my own which are just smoothies.
— chocolate peanut butter bowl
–consistent product
–better bowls than Neckter for sure. (I’ve never had Thrive’s smoothies so I can’t speak to that)
Why is one star missing then?
— sometimes staffing issues. They seem to have solved weekend problems that I’ve had when they just opened. But sometimes I’ll even call ahead on a weekday night and they say half hour to pick up. Really? You can get delivered whole entrees quicker than that! This is honestly just a matter of blending some fruit together. Despite their expertise (and my lack of) using a blender, its not worth a thirty minute wait.
So if you’re not in a hurry or starving definitely stop by Thrive Acai Bowls. A good snack, dessert, or even a decent meal substitute if you get a medium or large size. I feel pretty confident you won’t be disappointed

The acai bowls are extremely delicious! They are a little pricey but that’s simply because acai berries are a little pricey to begin with. The bowls are also huge and filling which makes it worth it! My only complaint is the employees. They lack serious customer service skills. They never EVER smile or say «hello» or «goodbye». When I arrive, they are usually in the back and they take a while to come out and take my order. They are all about college-​aged and seem to hate their lives or are just bored out of their minds. Just wish that one of my favorite places held a higher standard of customer service for their employees.
Also get better hours! I workout around 10 and they are not open then. They are also closed on Sunday which I such a bummer…

I don’t know what they do to their granola but I seriously am addicted. I am boring and always get the original bowl because it’s just that good. They have so many sweet, fruity, chocolatey options though. Their acai bowls are the best I have ever had. Freshly made and top quality

It’s almost comical. Tried Thrive again. Got the Strawberry Passion. In the menu description it says that it’s topped with granola, pineapple, honey and strawberries (plural).
I’ll attach a picture of what I got. It has to be less than one strawberry. I’m just constantly disappointed. Cmon… you’re right next to Sprouts. Surely you can hook up some kind of deal!

There can never be enough great things said about a place that serves healthy food that taste so great. I stick with the original bowl but have tried a handful of others, the tropical comes in a close second. Great now I’m hungry. Love me some Thrive!
Once upon a time there were naughty unfriendly ladies working the counter. I’m pleased to report most of the gentleman that work here are pleasant but girls be warned the chicks are not the friendliest.
