Perth’s Best Acai Bowls To Smash When It’s Hot
When the temperature peaks, you know the acai cravings are going to kick in. Insta-worthy, antioxidant packed goodness loaded with all sorts of fresh fruits and tasty treats—there’s a reason acai bowls are one of our favourite summer brekkies in Perth/Boorloo.
To share the love, Urban List has gone and got the scoop on where to find Perth’s best acai bowls.
Infus’d

This little unassuming spot right by Clarkson train station opens its doors to some of the most premium acai in the northern suburbs. You get five customisable toppings included in the $20 price tag, so you’re able to mix things up every visit. Infus’d was actually the very first spot in Perth to put Pistachio Papi on acai, so if you’re a dessert lover, don’t skip the OG papi-acai combo! If you prefer your bowl a little more clean girl coded, goji berries, hemp seeds and crunchy granola always pair well with Infus’d’s pure berry blend.
BENNIES BY THE BEACH

Bennies is a cutesy little food truck beside Trigg Beach, and their acai tastes all the more coastal under bright orange-and-white umbrellas with sweeping ocean views ahead of you. The classic Bennies acai bowl comes topped with seasonal fruit, gluten-free granola, chia seeds, cacao nibs, and a drizzle of honey (add peanut butter, pistachio spread, or Nutella for just $2). Don’t skip the kids’ acai sundae on a hot summer’s day, with the acai covered in sprinkles and topped with a flake!

The good folks at Berry Bae introduced Perth to its first self-serve acai bowl and we will be forever grateful. Grab a tub, fill it up with as much acai as you want and head on over to the ridiculous toppings station packed with fruit, sweet treats, granola and secret sauces. They’ve jumped on the Dubai chocolate bandwagon as of late, with pistachio kataifi filling ready to scoop out off their hot plates and into a sweet berry cup. The hardest bit is deciding when to stop!

A post swim snack has never been tastier. Stroll on over to Flora Terrace and get your hands on La Buda’s signature acai bowls topped with fruit, granola, coconut, chia seeds, cocoa nibs and passion fruit.

A picnic in the park with an acai bowl sounds like our sort of heaven. You can find Acai Bowl’s food trucks at South Perth and Lake Monger on the regular or pop into their cafe in Scarborough. There are heaps of flavour combos to choose from like the Ferrero Rocher with granola and their take on a homemade healthy Nutella, which tastes like a nutty, creamy cacao spread. Pro tip: The kids’ bowl is only ten bucks and still stacked enough to feed an adult. We love that Acai Corner feels like the perfect pitstop on a weekend walk, and while you wait, you can even grab one of the outdoor games they keep by the crates (how good?).
