Samba Rock Acai Cafe

Samba rock was recommened a friend who studied at UCSC. It used to be good and had great texture and flavor. We got the original acai. However the texture was not acai at all? Instead of like a smoothie flavor it was like layered ice with a melted slurry. Even after 5min it basically melted into just a watery drink almost like we had to slurp it. Flavor was good overall but sad by the texture. I personally wouldn’t go back if this is the expected texture

I stumbled upon this Chicana-owned Brazilian acai cafe during one of my bike rides through Santa Cruz. I ordered the Carmen Miranda, which was the perfect blend of granola, acai, and fruit. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the menu. I'm so glad I stopped by, and I will definitely be back again!

Just grand and a must! Go to in Santa Cruz. Authentic Brazilian flavor. After my first bite,it was so nutritious a tear fell from my eye.

Best acai I've ever had! Warm, authentic atmosphere, friendly service and great acai. Shame that most of the bad reviews claim the acai is too icy, when that is the way it should be! Meant to be mixed until no longer icy, then its perfect!

It was good! They didn’t blend my almond butter into the açaí bowl for some reason so I had to do it by hand, which obviously didn’t work great with the cold açaí so it was super chunky But! Loved that things here are organic, that’s definitely a huge plus. And the berries were all fresh and delicious
