Acai Bowls and Smoothies
Being a devoted fan of acai bowls, I’ve savored them across the globe. So it is safe to say that I know what it takes to blend the perfect acai bowl.
Key factors that distinguish a top-notch acai bowl involve:
- the texture
- the balance of toppings
- Use of premium ingredients.
Joi Cafe checks every box.
I absolutely love the Blue Lavendar Collagen Acai Bowl. It has blueberries, collagen, matcha, lavender, banana, sunflow butter, dates, coconut milk, and it is topped with fresh fruit, granola, and coconut whip.
I also add extra sunflower butter on top for good measure.
The bowl comes in at $18 and it is worth every dollar.
The flavor experience is overwhelming and the prominent taste is rich acai and slightly tart berry notes which is complemented by the soothing essence of lavender.
The addition of collagen introduces a subtle depth and creaminess to the bowl.
The overall profile is a harmonious combination of fruity, floral, and creamy elements, creating a refreshing and indulgent experience for the palate.
French Toast
The french toast is one of my second favorite items on the menu.
It has a delightful taste characterized by a perfect balance of sweetness, warmth, and richness.
The bread, soaked in a mixture of milk flavored with nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla, acquires a custard-like texture when cooked.
The exterior develops a slight crispness, while the inside remains soft and moist.
The addition of maple syrup, strawberries, and coconut whip enhances the sweetness, and the overall flavor profile is a harmonious blend of cinnamon richness, warm spices, and the comforting sweetness of syrup.
The french toast is $16.
Joi Cafe’s Breakfast Burrito
Finally, you have to order the burrito if you prefer a savory breakfast item.
The taste of Joi Cafe’s burrito is a delicious and harmonious combination of potatoes, vegan sausage, onions, peppers, and vegan egg.
The vegan sausage contributes a savory and hearty flavor.
The seasoning, includes ingredients like cumin, chili powder, and garlic, imparts a well-balanced and flavorful profile.
The overall experience is a satisfying blend of savory, spicy, and sometimes tangy notes, creating a classic and comforting taste.
Plus, the burrito comes with a side of fresh fruit!
Overall, you will spend $16 on the burrito.
Conclusion
Overall, I think you will really love your experience at Joi Cafe. My boyfriend and I love to go here a couple times a month and we always order the french toast. It’s to die for!
