The fruit of a palm that grows in the Amazon basin, harvested and frozen as a pulp. It is unusually rich in anthocyanins, and most of its energy comes from monounsaturated fat rather than sugar, which is what makes it behave differently from most berries.

It depends almost entirely on what goes on top. Acai pulp itself is unusual for a fruit: published compositional work reports an oil fraction dominated by monounsaturated fat, around 60 per cent oleic acid, rather than the sugar most berries lead with. Unsweetened pulp is where our bowls start. From there the toppings decide what the bowl becomes. Granola runs from wholegrain and lightly sweetened to something closer to a dessert cereal, and chocolate, condensed milk and a honey drizzle are added sugar — some of our bowls are closer to dessert than to breakfast, and we would rather say so. If you want a lighter one, ask: the Mango Chia Pudding and the fruit-and-nut bowls sit at the other end. We would rather tell you what is in a bowl than call it a superfood.

Items marked GF on the menu are made without gluten ingredients. What we cannot offer is a dedicated gluten-free kitchen: we toast sandwiches on ordinary bread and we use oats in the warm bowls and granola, in the same space and with the same equipment, so cross-contact is possible on any item. For someone avoiding gluten by preference that is usually fine. For coeliac disease it is the part that matters, so tell us before we start your order and we will be straight with you about what we can and cannot guarantee for the item you want. Our blog post on vegan and gluten-free options goes through this item by item, including which slices and puddings carry a gluten-free claim from the people who make them.

Yes. Plant milks are available on drinks and smoothies, the coconut yoghurt most bowls are built with is plant-based, and the protein we add is PranaOn Power Plant Protein, which is Australian-made and certified vegan — so adding protein does not change whether an order is plant-based. Three things on the menu are not vegan and are easy to miss: honey, condensed milk and the collagen add-in. Leave them off, or ask for the plant protein instead of collagen. Dairy free is not the same question as vegan, so if that is what you need, say so when you order and we will check the item rather than guess. Our vegan options page lists everything the menu currently marks vegan or vegan friendly, read from the live menu, along with the plant milks and swaps available that day.
