Great coffee shop! Super friendly staff!Not an over-the-top, blow it out, 30,000 different flavor combinations of corn syrup/sugar piled into burnt coffee that never gets changed.Jusr genuine, really good coffee, consistent quality, some flavor options, ALL MILK OPTIONS.They also have some really good toast and acai bowls and such.

Great space, good coffee and good bowls!

Was walking around Old Town and saw people walking around with Big Acai bowls and wanted to give it a try. Normally I rather some other kind of smoothie bowl. Not the biggest fan of acai, but this place had a great acai bowl. It was 11 dollars so a little more expensive then I would like, but its Old Town Alexandria and it was pretty big. We got the warrior bowl. This was a fantastic bowl tasted great. It had granola, bananas, strawberries. They had alot of options for different bowls, smoothies, fresh juices, juice cleanses. I will defintely be coming back for another acai bowl and might try another flavor.

My husband and I lived in Brazil for a few years and always have a hankering for real açaí bowls like the ones we had there. Most places have sugary/over sweetened açaí and it’s just not the same. This place was the real deal though! Fresh açaí with loads of natural toppings. It’s the closest we’ve ever tasted to what we had in Brazil! I got the Almond Butter Bowl and my husband got the Warrior Bowl. Loved both.

This place is absolutely amazing! I went in on a Saturday or Sunday and the service was amazing. I love this location and it’s a must try if you’re in the DMV Area

My favorite place for Acai Bowls.. Nicest staff/great customer service. During lunch, we ordered online. While picking up the smoothie, I dropped the smoothie on the floor (totally my fault). Staff (Noel) calmly made us another one, and cleaned the mess I made.

Colourfull 🧡💜💚💙

High quality bowls and juice. I got a pitaya bowl and there was no added sugar. Good quantity and texture. I am very picky about my smoothie bowls - this is the place to go if youre in the neighborhood! Also connected to a cool co-working space. Nice, open seating area with good energy.

That Strawberry Passion Smoothie is so good. Started added spinach to it. Fast and friendly service.

Kale yeah! Keep the good vibes rollin at South Block! Everything from acai bowls to smoothies to coffee is delicious. The people are nice and its an open, airy, cool space. Definitely worth a visit if youre in Old Town Alexandria.

Really neat place in old town. Loved the PB&J Acai bowl. Bought some merch too!

My favorite place for smoothies, today I got golden blow that’s was so good. Will back for try the new thing again for sure.

Really friendly people and great smoothies/smoothie bowls!

I had an acai bowl and a juice. Everything tasted great. The location is clean and the staff is friendly.

Amazing place, you should check it out if your in the area.

Ive always enjoyed south block. The bowls, juices etc. are delicious and just what I needed after biking the entire Mt. Vernon trail (36 miles) this was my first time to this location. The selections and coffee choices are great!! Fresh juice is always on point!

Açai bowls are excellent in the summer heat. The espresso is smooth and has never been burnt for me.

This is my favorite place to get a fresh smoothie or acai bowl! The vibe in here is great, the options are plentiful, and the people are super nice. Everything Ive ordered here has been excellent and it keeps me coming back time after time! It can get a little busy at peak times, but the wait is never too long to order. Overall, Im thrilled to have found South Block in Old Town!

Nice place for juice and/or coffee! Definitely on the pricey side, but good to at least try it once. If just for the cute Instagram worthy shots of your food and drink.

Old Town has needed this for a long time. More and more of these blocks are opening up in the area. This own offers a shopping boutique, yoga and pilates studio, and this coffee and juicery.Juices will run you the standard $8 plus tax. Acai bowls are a delicious and healthy breakfast option but their toasts arent hearty or tasty. They should be offering more salad, sandwich, and the always popular, avocado options.There is open seating and plenty of space, attractive for those that want to meet in groups or a singleton that wants to get some work done.Improving the food options and adding coconut milk to their menu are some areas South Block can improve upon.

Krissia was so nice to me this afternoon and really made my day. She was so accommodating and patient with me. One of the best experiences I have ever had at a South Block. I will definitely be back and recommending friends!!

Smoothies were delicious! Only downside is they do not take cash

Love this place. Great for a middau healthy snack or smoothie. The actual space inside the store is great for co-working or just to get away. Highly recommend!

Great smoothie! Quick service and helpful staff!

Excellent food and coffee and great customer service. My whole family, including my toddler, loves coming here for a healthy treat. The acai bowls are delicious and toppings are consistently top-notch. In these pandemic times, I can see they are working very hard to keep the place sparking clean and still get orders out quickly.

Had bulletproof coffee for the first time here. It was delicious! The atmosphere was great the staff were very friendly.

Finally a great place to get big acai bowls! The bowls were delicious and had many options. I also had some almond butter toast which was good. The vibes here are fun but loud as there is no carpet and the ceilings just echo any sounds. I cant give 5 stars because the coffee they make here just is not good at all. Weve tried a few times and its blah. It is pricey here too so beware of that.

Best smoothie bowls in the DMV by far. Every bowl I’ve tried has been delicious and very consistent in terms of portions and freshness. Highly recommend!!!

Pretty tasty smoothies and tea, but also expensive.

So good! I always get the blue mermaid bowl! And the green tea matcha latte was so delicious! I order a bowl to go almost every Friday.

The juices are fresh and delicious! I would recommend this for sure!

Very nice ambiance to the place and even better smoothies, bowls, and cold-pressed juices! Highly recommend.

Staff is incredible and friendly. Its a relaxing atmosphere and the coffee was awesome

Great place to work and grab a bite. Especial during COVID. This location is very spacious.

Relaxed atmosphere, plenty of acai and smoothie options. Coffee was great too, reasonable prices.

Best brekkie ever

Best juice, smoothie, bowl place across DC area!

Great juices, fruit bowls, and other fresh treats. Customer service is great and always pleasant.

Very cleaned, social distancing and safety in effect

1 star because customer service was awful. Loved coming here until the cashier spoke to me in a condescending tone of voice and said to me, Its your job to tell us your phone number so you can get your stars; thats not our job. You did this not us. I tried explaining to her that usually my card on file would automatically do it but since I got married I had to change my card and didnt realize I hadnt been acquiring any points. I told her all I wanted was to receive my stars since I come in every single day to work and spend around $20/day at this place. She was all around rude and this will be my last time coming here. Customer service is just as important as the product.

Had the best juice called Renew and açaí bowl; and Noel, the manager at this location provided the best customer service. Had the best experience, so much so that I plan to go again today. Thank you.

So refreshing and much needed ANY day!

Ordered the Warrior Bowl and was disappointed. Definitely not a fan of how they make their açaí bowls. No flavor, just a blended mess.

Update:I dropped this place down a star because I keep trying to make it part of mybreakfast routine. But, it opens so late. Especially on the weekends. Theres always people standing around waiting for it to open. That should be a sign...My original review:Lots of non-dairy options and an enjoyable open and bright space. So glad we have one of these in the OTA now.

Acai bowls the best ever..

I love south block but this particular establishment in alexandria is such a disappointment. The cashier was a petite hispanic girl and she had a horrible attitude. it took like 20 minutes for them to give me my coffee just for it to be cold! seriously ruined my day and i will never come here again.

Amazing spot in Old Town for a fresh, healthy, and filling breakfast. A great way to end the morning bike ride. I highly recommend the warrior bowl.

I have been a big fan of South Block since I moved to VA years ago, but this location is not the best. For example, just today I ordered an Extra Loaded PB&J bowl for almost $15...but it didn’t even have the peanut butter on top. For a bowl that literally has the name of the topping in its name, I wish I had received what I ordered. Will take my money elsewhere next time.

When I am visiting from Cleveland I always go here, there açaí bowls are the best!

The tall, blonde, heavy set girl who serve me today at the Alexandria location, was rude and who needs someone to be rude to you as you pick up a Açaí bowl. Unnecessary. I hope it was a one off, but I won’t be going to this location anymore. I will spend my money where the staff is super friendly and understands people have a choice where they spend their money and will spend it happily in an establishment where you don’t have to deal with attitude from a spoiled brat of an employee.

Love this place! Great food and drinks! Clean place and friendly people! Attractive atmosphere. Parking can be a bit of a challenge. Wish we had a place like this in Washington state!

Good service. Good coffee.

Love their blueberries smoothie

Staff was friendly and the food was good, but over $20 for a beverage and a cookie make this a rare stop for me, but my celiac friend finds this to be her favorite spot, so hard to question that.If you have specific dietary needs, this is a great tasting place to meet those needs. ... And my cookie and juice were nutritionally satisfying ;)

Lots of options for acai bowls - liked the Cali. Very good Nitro cold brew. Great for breakfast or a snack during a bike ride across townGood social distancing practice, regulated flow, all employees wearing masks.

Tried the Bulletproof coffee which was meh but supposedly its good for you. Definitely will try my go to coffee (cappuccino) next time. I loved the message and idea this chain is trying to express. I liked the ambience and the service. Will definitely come back. We need more places like this! Preferably 24 hrs. :)))

My order was incorrectly made. However the mistake was completely fixed no problem

Rude with fake smiles people did not seem very alive I do not recommend the mermaid bowl taste like medicine and the bananas I had did not taste ready to eat

Its real healthy in there. If thats what youre looking for then obviously this is the place to be. I got a smoothie, was probably one of the better choices Ive made both today and this week.

Look, Im a carnivore so Id like to think this means a lot coming from me: This place has me liking fruit! The smoothies/bowls are fresh and dont taste like broken-up ice like other places sometimes do. The PBJ bowl even sort of has a hearty feel to it. If you come around noon youll have to wait a while in line, but the fit people in workout clothes are a great indicator of the quality and healthiness of the stuff here.

Fresh juice and great food. Staff were awesome but it was too loud inside. Next time Ill just order online and pick it up.

Great smoothies

Loved this place... feel good food... wife and I were down in Alexandria Va and stop here on a reco from one of the locals. I wish they would expand up to the Baltimore area.

We spend to much time here LOL

Love visiting when I get the chance. Discovered this gem while in DC at union market loved it! I visit the Alexandria location whenever I get the chance. A Woodbridge location would be divine.

Great breakfast place! This was our favorite place to go to in Alexandria for a good and fresh breakfast. The bowls were very good, we tried several ones and all of them were good!

Always super friendly and quick! Great quick and easy, healthy option in Old Town. Great staff, great atmosphere.

Smoothies are awesome. Especially the Golden one

I always come back to South Block on Lee St because the service is always excellent! They really care about the customers and the quality of what they serve!

Very friendly staff, but the coffee tastes different every time. Food is great though!

Its modern. I just wish they had few pastry selection.

The smoothies and Acai bowls are delicious. The prices are decent but did not like the value I received for the Avacado toast for $10. Only one slice of bread....usually one serving of bread is two slices. The smoothies were rich and thick with outstanding flavor and the Acai bowls had plenty of ingredients to fulfill anyones taste buds. Great place for healthy eating...

Coffee was okay. Service was average to poor. There are many employees behind the counter and only one or two paying attention to the costumers.The food was extremely disappointing. I havent had any of the bowls.The sandwiches are premade and reminiscent of airport food. Yet the prices are only a little less than all wonderful food in the surrounding area.

The place has a great vibe. Staff are friendly and the açaí bowls are healthy and nutritious. I especially like the Warrior Bowl and Magic Dragon bowls. Wish there were more places like this around DC. Will definitely be coming back to try all of the smoothies and juices too!

Pleasantly pleased and surprised. Smoothy was awesome (whats not to like, right?) Place was almost too cold to sit and we tried the coffee on a previous visit but didnt like it much.

Favorite is the vanilla latte

Good products offered, a variety of smoothie bowls, sandwiches, and coffee options. They have popular acai bowls too! There is a good wifi connection in the coffee shop if you want to do work, and seating with outlets but be aware that the blenders can be pretty loud which can be distracting for some people (although the blending is only periodic)

Great menu, quality, and atmosphere/energy!

As a female Millennial, I’ve had a lot of loaded avocado toast, but this place takes the cake. And they have bulletproof coffee!!

I love it!

Tasty juice and smoothie place for lactose intolerant folk and those with other dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, etc). I really enjoyed my golden smoothie (house cashew milk, bananas, mangos, turmeric, ginger, ashwagandha, and raw honey). Looking forward to trying their other drinks!One thing that bothered me, however, is they **do not accept cash**. I understand their reasoning that cash is dirty and counting change slows lines. However, not everyone has the privilege of a bank account. It seems like an accessibility thing. Though, maybe those folks arent interested in $11 smoothies...

Nice place, good to hang out in, the smoothie I had which was the avocado almond butter was okay but not something I would go back for.

The team at Southblock always deliver great service and my favorite Warrior Bowl.

Incredible coffee!! The best cortado we had since coming from Argentina!!!

The food quality is definitely five stars, I knocked one off because I’ve had some strange experiences with staff where they didn’t seem to be paying attention or were generally dismissive. Probably the best açaí in old town though!

This place was pretty cool. The space is nice, open and clean. Definitely plan on going back and the Acai bowl was tasty.

My friend from college and I ate there today and we both got sick with diarrhoea right after! The smoothies tasted good but some sort of bacteria must have gotten into the ingredients. Make sure employees hands are clean and work stations are cleaned!

Diverse menu, community atmosphere and great customer service!

Num. Always good!

Wife likes the place and they are always busy so it must be good.

Love the service and smoothies are delicious

The staff is exceptional and always friendly :)

My coworker has been raving about South Block’s smoothies so i finally decided to give it a try. I got the Health Nut smoothie and it was so good!! 😊

The hippest coffee/juice/bowl joint on the block! Actually, in all of Old Town really. South Block offers a great selection of acai bowls, smoothies, toasts and hot beverages. The turmeric/honey latte is the perfect winter warmer but word of warning with their drip coffee, its super acidic. Acai bowls are solid and the toasts are small but good however their juices run on the sweeter side (and are expensive). Note that you can pre-order cleanses for less money per bottle plus they run a little less sweet. For those with furry friends, the Puppy Smoothie is a steal for only $3! South Block shares the space with a yoga studio and upstairs is an amazing co-working space plus a pop-up shop next door. Oh, and for kids their is a free play vintage arcade game. Score!

I always have a pleasant experience when I go. I’m a warrior bowl type of chick.

Great place with great food and atmosphere. Food is a bit pricey.

I would change my rating to 5 stars when they close later on weekends!

Very nice and yummy bowls.

This place is amazing- the only thing I noticed was that they are spending a ton of money to use all compostable packaging and straws, but there is not a compostable bin. Compostable products will ruin a recycling machine and vice versa. I hope they make that change since they are already making so much effort to be sustainable

I love this place and all their acai bowls!
