Friendly customer serviceA bit pricey for what you’re getting compared to other açai bowl places I’ve been. My bowl was $13 for medium which was maybe 16-18oz?Good option to have in you are in the Carmel area.

A year ago I was at 5 stars easy. Since then, Im not sure what has gone on behind the scenes, but Ive got to drop to 3 - maybe 2.5 stars.The flavor of the bowls remains tasty, but the quality has faltered. How they are put together has been inconsistent, and while I am generally satisfied with the customer service, I did witness a poor handling of an elderly customer with what seemed like a legitimate concern, by one of the young workers. (Disrespectful, and and basically unprofessional)Bottomline, as someone else mentioned, you could go somewhere else for a less expensive bowl, but just as tasty, and the servings are probably better.

Ive hesitated to try this place due to the prices for quite some time. But after finally biting the bullet, I have to say it was worth it, worth it, WORTH IT! Not only does the food here taste SO good, I was left feeling full for hours after eating it. I tried the Nutty Bowl and itll probably take me some time to try other bowls because Ill want to keep ordering it over and over again. It was delicious and I feel great that it was also good for me--a great value! Ill be back and will definitely be recommending others!

Just the worst. No peanut butter in the nutty again bowl and they made two of them that way. Menu is out of date. A customer before us ordered two items and both were no longer available. This isnt the first time theres been issues like this here. For such a good spot and $11 for a medium, please leave and let someone else do better.

Do you want a good lunch and feel great about what you are? Go here. Everything is fresh, healthy, and the best part, absolutely delicious. I get the Nutty Bowl usually and cant recommend it enough. Definitely check this place out if youre passing by!

I absolutely love this place. I usually have a bowl, but I have tried the smoothies as well. I find the bowls to be better. They always taste fresh and are filling. Customer service is good too. If there is a line, it can move pretty slow and it takes a while to get your order, but I’d say it’s worth it.

Came in on 9/17/21 at 12:23p.m. and it looked as if the place was closed. There were other customers waiting for staff to take their orders for 20 minutes, but nobody was there. Not sure what is going on. Called, only to get a rude answer by a staff member that the place is closed. On a Friday, at noon. I am not sure if I will return to this location.

Vitality Bowl is well worth the price you pay. Every time I go in, I leave in awe of how much fruit and other goodies they were able to pack in the bowl. I always have leftover fruit I can place in the fridge and pull back out again later. By far the best location for acai bowls in Indy.

Really wanted to like this place but overall its a no. Ordered a large Dragon bowl for total of$15 and change. Received large container half full and literally just thrown together. Pitaya taste seemed off too?? For the cost and amount received is and will be the major deciding factor to pass on this place in the future.

Like many folks on their first visit, I was coerced by one of my healthy friends into trying this during a moment of indecision. I was expecting to outright hate it and walk away still hungry.I got the Superfood Bowl, and I was pleasantly surprised. Even after having to Google half of the ingredients to decide from the 6000 very similar bowl offerings, I was not sure what to expect. Turns out that it was essentially a smoothie in a bowl, with a ton of acai puree as the base. Overall refreshing, but not overly sweet. It was tasty, and I actually did feel energized after eating it, even if that was just my body thanking me for not feeding it fried garbage (again).On my second visit, however, I got a kale salad with roasted turkey. It was overpriced for what it was, and it was served without any dressing whatsoever, which I discovered after walking it back to my office several blocks away. This was a huge disappointment, and it was saved only by the strange fact that my office had a bottle of balsamic vinegar in the fridge and a bottle of olive oil in the tiny, 6-foot kitchenette there. Otherwise, eating a bowl of naked kale, underseasoned turkey, and some other uninspiring dry ingredients is highly ill-advised.Ill go back for a bowl on occasion, but I think Id rather get a salad from just about any other place on Carmels Main Street. Or eat fried garbage until I die.

I love Vitality and spend a lot via DoorDash. For the 2nd time in a month, our bowls were not even 3/4 full and they are expensive. I also didnt get my granola which I paid for. I specifically said on the order to fill to the top, like they have done in past, and to send receipt as well so I could get points. They did neither. I guess I’ll help other local businesses. What a racket.

Worker behind counter was rude. Four teen boys harassed me - laughing and commenting on my dress. Order was completely wrong, I asked for certain items to be left out of the bowl, and they added them anyways! They did nothing to make it right or make me want to come back - ever again.

Just ordered from them on door dash. They messed up the orders. Two of the same bowl. Did not put any appropriate ingredients. All melted. WAY overpriced. Will never eat from this place and advising everyone not to go here. Manager was not helpful

Long time fan of Vitality Bowls smoothies. Personally love to add chia or flax seeds if not already included, which is greatly appreciated. This is my first time at this location since COVID and staff was very polite and kept up with sanitization. Will definitely be back!

Its hard to find something you dont like at vitality bowls! Their juice and food options are amazing. I love it so much and I hope to start visiting more often. Recently, I ordered the rehydrater and added carrot juice. I also love the immune booster shot. Wonderful place!

The Nutty Bowl is my favorite bowl here. Even though it may seem a little pricey, the bowls are all very tasty and the portions are large. They also use a bunch of superfoods in the bowls which makes them healthy. Very yummy and we will be coming back!

Review №25

A great restaurant and addition to Main Street! Very delicious!Ive personally never had a wait issue when Ive been there, but they do typically have young teenagers from the high school working there, so I could see how the service may not be great uniformly.

Li
Review №26

The service is awful and truly needs at least 3 more people working other than just two in the kitchen. My family was hoping this would be a nice easy quick visit but it has turned into a 30 minute wait for a simple breakfast. Unfortunately will not be ever returning...do not recommend the paninis they aren’t that great and will take twice as long.

Last time I visited there was a long wait but the nutty bowl was good. This time I walked in the door and it smelled like either rotten food or like some was smoking cigarettes in there. Waited a few minutes deciding whether or not to order. Then someone finally came out from back to help us after several minutes of waiting. Then decided it was so bad that me and my girlfriend left. Will not return. My visit was 3/10 at around 4pm.

Placed an order at 1pm. 2:39pm still have not received my order. Employee attempted to be confrontational although he is the one who messed up the order. Highly disorganized unprofessional.I used to go to the shop at Traders Pointe but is closed now. Guess I will have to go across to Sub Zero. Never Again!

Review №37

First of all I truly enjoy the bowls. Today was my first visit to this location. I ordered and paid for my bowl via the app then drove 10 minutes to pick it up. I arrived and was told by the cashier my bowl was being prepared (she even said NICE! when she noticed Id already paid). I waited about 30 minutes as every patron in the building (before and after me) was served. Finally I ask again if my pick up order was ready at which point I was told my order had been sitting in the fridge and they didnt know I had arrived.Didnt make a huge fuss, took my goods & left only to get in the car and there was no spoon in my bag. Now stuck in rush hour traffic (which I tried to avoid by ordering and paying ahead) with no way eat my bowl, it was mush when I arrive to my destination.

Good wholesome food you will not find elsewhere. However, very little meat and almost no sweetener in anything. Fast service cheerfully done. Lots of trendy nutritional fruits.

Great food! But the workers were some Asian chick and a high school guy and they had no idea what they were doing. They were really really awkward and made everyone feel uncomfortable. They would just stare at you while you were looking at the menu as well. Very strange experience this time. Not coming back in here whenever I see these people working.

I really like the taste of the smoothies and bowls. The quality can be a little hit or miss depending on the day. The service usually isnt very friendly - they often act like youre interrupting their conversations and day in general.

I love this stuff... Healthy ingredients frozen and mixed up. Like crunchy smoothies you eat with a spoon. My kids might call it Dad food but if i had all the ingredients i might make this kind of stuff all the time. The only problem would be that i would eat too much!

Review №49

Disappointing service and it took more than 20 minutes for a takeout order of 2 regular bowls plus 1 kid bowl. Saw 3 employees by the time we left, and only one order came out before ours, and it was not busy inside. Was also charged for granola when asked for it on the side (as it was a topping of the bowl). Price is too high to frequent after the dissatisfying experience.

A great healthy food option. Prices are reasonable and the smoothies are always good. This is a good place to go if on a limited diet...Paleo or similar. They are very accommodating.

Review №51

Was stoked to give this place a shot, as my boyfriend and I are acai enthusiasts, but it severely disappointed. When we first walked in, we were met with an unpleasant smell--like the trash hadnt been taken out in a while. Their was no one at the register for a minute before someone came out from the back to greet us. While the employees werent rude, it took a long time for us to get what we ordered, and when it did come out, the bowls seemed hurried and poor quality. These bowls are the priciest in Indy we have tried, and by far not the best in taste or quality. The service seemed unprofessional--we will not be returning.

I am usually an avid vitality bowl goer, but today I had a terrible experience! I have never had good service here, but the vitality bowls are so good, I don’t mind the service too much. But today, I was waiting in line for about 5 minutes and the employees saw me and continued to work in the back leaving me unacknowledged. When I got my vitality bowl, first I noticed that it was in a Togo bowl when I ordered it for here, and they told me it was because they were all out of clean bowls, as I saw a huge stack of dirty bowls by the trash can unattended. When I finally tasted it, it was the worst one I have ever had! I usually eat them right up, but today I could barely even finish it! The base had about 6-8 unblended açaí berries and the strawberries and bananas were not ripe at all. As I said before, I love vitality bowls, but the service today left a bad taste in my mouth! Literally!

Vitality bowl is literally vital to survival and I saw as I was clicking five stars that someone wrote overpriced with small portions well you know what Brian why dont you just stay at Golden Corral where you belong but as for the rest of you that arent greedy Americans I was impressed with the portions if you want to literally feel so much better try this place I was having the worst days with allergies and this bowl literally GAVE ME LIFE. Amazing. 🍓🍋🍒

They use to make amazing nutty bowls but the consistency has changed and is more runny, chunky frozen banana, not much granola 😞 I’m there several times a week so I know the change. I’ve finally learned to make them at home now, so no more.

Review №66

The place looked sloppy, the staff was clearly bored and unmotivated, and the vegetables and fruits were not fresh. I ordered a kale salad and the kale was wilted and the cucumbers and celery were very old and mushy. It said it had quinoa in it but Id swear there was hardly a teaspoon of quinoa.

Review №68

This place is a serious health hazard. There was white plastic wrapper material in my acai bowl at this location and the Traders Point location. I have had about 20 acai bowls from the Carmel location without the plastic material in it so I know what it should be like. I picked out one of the strands, thinking it might be a coconut shaving to pull it apart and it snapped! I spoke to one of the Carmel managers who told me their procedure is to cut the frozen acai packages in half before blending them, so that it is very possible the plastic wrapper got into the smoothies. I feel disgusted that this place is serving plastic to unsuspecting consumers. The people who would pay this kind of money for organic healthy food are often times people who are really struggling with their health and cannot afford to be eating plastic of all things! I reported this to both locations, but will leave this review up until I have been notified that something has changed in their procedure that will prevent this from happening.

When Vitality Bowl first came to Indianapolis some time in early 2016 on 86th street, I thought it was delicious though pricey. In fact, that still hasnt changed a year later. But youll be hard pressed to find a chilled meal made with and topped with fruits in the area. Not saying they dont exist but not to the same level as this place.If Ive had a particularly bad weekend of gorging on sweets and greasy food, its nice to order a bowl of something less guilty that has the added bonus of satisfying my sweet tooth without destroying my calorie intake (again); better than crying in to a salad... More tasty too.Vitality Bowl has been slowly adding hot options to their menu like Panini. I cant claim to have tried them as Im more addicted to their Acai bowls.
