UncategorizedPacific Beach runs on açaí bowls. They’re practically the official meal of anyone who’s just come out of the water, and you’ll see them on tables all over the neighbourhood. Palmy’s does three cold bowls, and while they might look similar from across the patio, each one has a very different personality.
The Açaí Bowl: the one that keeps you going
Palmy’s Açaí Bowl comes topped with banana, berries, peanut butter and honey. It’s that peanut butter that makes all the difference. It turns what could be a light, fruity snack into something rich and filling that will actually hold you until lunch.
This is the bowl to order when you’re properly hungry, not just looking for something cold. If you’ve just finished a surf, a run or a long walk along the boardwalk, you’ve earned it.
The Blue Horizon Bowl: the one that changes
The Blue Horizon is the showstopper of the three. Its vivid blue colour comes from a blue algae sorbet base, and it’s topped with seasonal fruit, chia seeds, shredded coconut, hemp seeds and house-made granola. Because the fruit changes with the seasons, it looks a little different depending on when you visit, which is half the fun.
It’s also the bowl with the most crunch, thanks to all those seeds, coconut and granola. Order it on a sunny morning when you’ve got nowhere to be, pair it with a cold brew, and let the afternoon take care of itself.
The Chia Seed Pudding: the one for slow mornings
If you prefer something creamy, the Chia Seed Pudding is your bowl. Palmy’s makes the pudding in-house and tops it with berries, banana, hemp granola and honey. It’s soft and smooth, with just enough crunch from the granola to keep every spoonful interesting.
Of the three, it’s the lightest, so it’s ideal before a long day or alongside a flat white when you want breakfast without feeling weighed down. It’s also lovely with one of the fruitier matchas.
Can’t decide? Share
Here’s a tip from the regulars. If you’re visiting with a friend and can’t choose between sweet and savory, order one bowl and one Big Swell Burrito, and share them both. You get the cool, fruity hit of the bowl and the crispy, satisfying burrito, and nobody has to deal with food envy.
You can also round things out with a ginger or turmeric shot from the grab-and-go shelf, or a side of seasonal fruit if you’re feeling extra virtuous.
