The Acai Bar Cafe Opens Kosher Upper West Side Location • YeahThatsKosher

Açaí bowl topped with strawberries, blueberries, banana and granola

The Acai Bar Cafe has opened a kosher location on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, bringing a dedicated menu of açaí bowls, smoothies and fresh juices to Amsterdam Avenue.

The shop gives the neighborhood another quick, health-focused kosher option near Broadway and Central Park. It also follows the recent arrival of SoBol’s kosher Upper West Side cafe, reflecting the growing demand for fruit bowls and smoothies in the area.

What Is on the Menu?

The menu centers on thick açaí bowls available in 12- and 16-ounce sizes. The Classic Açaí Bowl blends açaí with strawberries and banana, then lets customers choose their toppings. The Tropical Bowl combines strawberries, pineapple and mango, with açaí available as an option, while the Green Supreme blends banana, pineapple, mango and spinach.

Smoothies range from straightforward fruit combinations to richer blends. Choices include Tropical, Strawberry Banana, Green Vitality and Açaí Berry. The Morning Java is a mocha-style smoothie combining coffee, banana, peanut butter, dates and dark chocolate. Fresh juices round out the cafe’s lighter grab-and-go menu.

The Acai Bar Cafe’s New Manhattan Location

The Amsterdam Avenue opening brings the growing local brand into Manhattan after building a presence in Brooklyn, Monsey and the Catskills. The concept focuses on bowls, smoothies and juices prepared to order from clean ingredients in a fast-casual setting. Customers can build a quick breakfast, snack or light meal around fruit-forward bowls and drinks.

The new shop joins an increasingly varied group of kosher cafes on the Upper West Side, while giving diners another option that is naturally suited to warm-weather breakfasts and afternoon snacks.
