I remember horribly mispronouncing this popular breakfast bowl when I was younger, calling it an “ah-khai” bowl instead of “ah-sigh-ee”. After that embarrassing incident, I made a mental note to stay away from ordering acai bowls. Fast forward to today, the nutrient-dense and incredibly healthy dish has become my favourite alternative to ice-cream, especially since it doesn’t give me a sugar slump. While Nalu Bowls in Bali still holds first place in my heart for the best acai bowl, I’ve narrowed down the next 10 acai cafes in Singapore that serve up a smashin’ acai bowl that could possibly rival Nalu Bowls’.

Situated within the lush greenery of Singapore Botanic Gardens, JUJU is an ideal place for a short respite from the heat. Unlike most acai shops, JUJU’s signature Acai ($8.50/$12) bowl has a texture similar to that of froyo – think refreshing, icy and creamy, but without the added sugar.
If you’re craving for something slightly more decadent, the Chocolate Oat ($8.50/$12) is a stellar choice as it combines dark chocolate, Medjool dates, oats and pink Himalayan salt for a tasty sweet treat.

An Acai Affair is one of the #OG acai cafes that won me over with their concentrated acai blend. My go-to order is Triple A ($5.90/$8.90/$13.90) – a cup of no-frills acai layered with fresh fruits, granola, and superfoods like desiccated coconut and goji berries.
If you’re loco over coco, Coco Glow! ($5.90/$8.90/$13.90) comes with an additional scoop of refreshing coconut sorbet. All acai bowls also come with your choice of honey, peanut butter, almond butter or cookie butter – I’d recommend cookie butter if it’s a cheat day for that sneaky little bit of extra sweetness.

Though more well-known for their cold-pressed juices, Juice Junkie dishes up bangin’ acai bowls too.

Do take note that seats are extremely limited in this tiny cafe, so be prepared to simply grab and go.

Don’t let the name fool you – there are zero indulgences at Randy Indulgence – a healthy cereal and acai bar. They serve their acai two ways: Protein Bowl ($7.90/$9.90) and Fruity Bowl ($7.90/$9.90).
