Where to find Perth’s best açai bowls

What says summer more than an açai bowl at the beach?

Created by Brazilians and adopted by surfers and boho babes everywhere, the açai bowl has long been a favourite summer snack. Known for its Insta-worthy purple hue and colourful fruity toppings, the açai bowl reached fever pitch back in 2016 and, dare we say, may even be having a comeback.

If you’re on the hunt for a truly delicious and refreshing smoothie bowl post-ocean swim, here’s where you can find Perth’s best.

NOURISH + FEED

“Australia’s first healthy drive-through” has been a roaring success, with NOURISH + FEED opening their fourth venue, in Bayswater, February of 2024. The concept is simple, delicious and most-of-all, good for ya! Fresh, local and seasonal menu items are created from scratch in their Osborne Park kitchen, including their açai bowls, packed with seasonal fruit, passionfruit, peanut butter and house made granola.

The Beach Bus

Conveniently located in the Mosman Beach car park, The Beach Bus is an easy choice for a refreshing morning swim and brekky combo. Plus, being a dog-friendly beach, you’re guaranteed to see plenty of cute pups as you sip your coffee and tuck into a picture-perfect açai bowl, which is definitely a plus in our books. Along with full-to-the-brim smoothie bowls topped with fresh fruit, you’ll also find sweet bites, toasties and smashed avo on the menu.

Berry Bae

Only recently opened, Leederville’s Berry Bae is Perth’s newest açai bar and its first-ever self-service one. Inviting acai lovers to go crazy on the toppings, Berry Bae offers a range of fruits, nuts, granolas and spreads to get creative with as well as vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free options. In terms of drinks, you can choose from your usual suspects when it comes to coffee as well as matcha.

Daisies

A Perth institution, Cottesloe corner store and café Daisies is the place to go for a laid-back breakfast by the beach. Surrounded by pine trees, the café offers plenty of shady spots to perch beneath while you enjoy one of Daisies’ iconic açai bowls which are always decked out with fresh fruit and tasty toppings like cacao nibs, Nutella and peanut butter. And we’d be remiss not to mention the sausage rolls which are up there with Perth’s best.

OUSHK

Another must-visit for acai bowl-lovers is OUSHK in Palmyra. Almost too beautiful to eat, OUSHK’s açai creations come topped with your usual fresh fruit, coconut and goji or can be customised to your liking (Turkish delight anyone?). In addition to aesthetically pleasing açai bowls, OUSHK serves wholesome food with a Lebanese twist like mixed earth bowls with kibbeh and falafel wraps.

61A Carrington Street, Palmyra

Little Cultures

Specialising in açai bowls, yoghurt bowls and smoothies, Little Cultures is the place to go for your daily (or perhaps weekly) dose of fruit. Located on Rokeby Road, this superfood and dessert bar is a no-brainer if you’re in need of some nourishment while wandering the streets of Subi. And for those further north, Little Cultures’ second location at Lakeside Joondalup Shopping Centre promises the same organic açai, tasty toppings and refreshing smoothies.

Parked up by Coode Street playground, the healthy food truck offers a variety of bowls ranging from a classic berry bowl to a decadent Ferrero Rocher bowl topped with homemade healthy Nutella. The Açai Corner also has a food truck at Lake Monger as well as a café on St Brigids Terrace in Scarborough.

The Neighbourhood Kitchen, Coffee & Bottle Shop

Whether you’re naughty or nice, the Neighbourhood has a bowl for you. The so-called Naughty option is chock-a-block with homemade raspberry brownie, Biscoff, caramel sauce, raw cacao nibs, banana and granola, while the Nice bowl is loaded with mango, kiwi, strawberry, banana, berry coulis and granola. Both are only $15 each, and we think that’s pretty nice either way! (Sally Hall)

Pearth Organic Kitchen

The home of all things delicious and organic, Pearth is a favourite for its vegan, gluten-free and veggie breakfast options, including its açai and smoothie bowls. The leafy Leederville café is guaranteed to feed and nourish with its generous portions and range of tasty sweet treats. (Sally Hall)
