This was my first visit to this place. My experience was very disappointing. Here is why. First off, the place looked very disorganized and made me feel like I was visiting a friend’s house rather than a restaurant, chairs stacked, clothes/rags in places. The place where they make your food is not transparent. It is hidden behind painted glass so you cannot see what they’re doing, how clean/hygienic it is unless you stand up close and look up and over. The manager/owner (?) Asked me to wait outside but I decided to wait inside. Seemed like her daughter was making my order. I ordered 2 large acai badger bowls and she gave it to me without lids. I asked for lids. The bowls weren’t even full with lots of air spaces in between. I’m sorry but for $12-13 a bowl, I would expect it to be filled to the top or close to it. It seemed they were trying to overcompensate with decor and plastic items for sale, rather than focus on service and transparency. I’m sorry but I won’t be back.

Badger Bowls is amazing! My boyfriend and I love grabbing a quick açaí bowl or smoothie when we can! They’re fresh, colorful, and very tasty. The staff is super friendly and I’d recommend the Hermosa smoothie and Laguna bowl 🙂

I am so satisfied with mt first time here! I ordered the Pismo bowl and Breakfast sandwich, and both items were delicious and so beautifully put together! They make every order fresh, and you can taste that! The ladies who helped me out were all so thoughtful and kind! Definitely coming back to try everything they have ♡

Yo this place is amazing the bowl I had was exactly what the microbiome was asking for after a weekend in Big Bear, organic ingredients, local, tasted amazing, no adders!!
The icing on the cake was the people inside, so friendly and welcoming. Good vibes! Highly recommend visiting.
Let’s start a petition to bring one to San Diego? I think it would thrive in Solana Beach!!!

Heavenly! Had a Badger Bowls (açaí thingie with all kinds of fruit and healthy bits) and I swear to you, it’s the best daggum açaí bowl I’ve ever tasted. Run and try this local Redlands place out! Support small businesses!
The staff is friendly and basically AWESOME

I’ve been coming for years and not only did I notice the prices kept going up and they started serving less portions. This will be my last time here sadly. I literally paid $40 for this

This place had such good food and such good service! We took our entire soccer team here for smoothies while on the road for a game agains UC Riverside. We called in an order of 29 items and it was all ready and waiting for us when we got there. They were so friendly, and everyone agreed the smoothies were better than any we had back at home!

I found a fly in my badger bowl this afternoon (May 14, see pictures), and the customer service I received after I telling them about it was very unprofessional. Here’s the story… When I first ordered it, I waited outside for the bowl as they asked me to, and as soon as they brought it out to me without a lid on, I went straight into my car. My husband was in a rush to get going, but as soon as we pulled out of the parking lot, I noticed a little fruit fly was struggling to fly out of the honey. He looked like he was nestled amongst some coconut shreds, and because of how quickly I looked at my bowl to eat it after walking back to my car, I figured it must have gotten stuck in there while the bowl was in the restaurant, or perhaps during its transition to me. Besides, I saw there were some very spotted ripe bananas on their counters, and I know how fruit flies seem to appear out of nowhere when there’s ripe produce around sometimes. Seeing the fly in my food immediately put me off and I knew that I was not going to be willing to waste the $10 I spent on it. So, I called up the restaurant to let them know my situation. I wasn’t even trying to criticize them for letting a simple fruit fly get into the food, but since it was in it, I thought it would only be decent for them to replace it. However, their response was, “There’s not a single fly in here! [their restaurant]” Really? Is that your best response to a customer who’s telling you there is a problem with the food you gave them? They asked me to bring the bowl back, and so I did. From the moment I walked back in, it was clear that the manager (I think?) did not believe me, as both her tone of voice and body language were screaming that she was skeptical. After she finally saw the fly and I attempted to confirm that she could see it, she replied, “Oh, yeah.” No apology, or any remarks that she was so sorry about it or for the inconvenience. Nothing. She only gave me a new bowl and said, “There shouldn’t be any in this one.” Well, that’s nice. However, after being placed in the position where I felt like I constantly had to defend my predicament, it would’ve been appropriate if she had at least acknowledged that I wasn’t just making up stories. There was zero empathy. I don’t particularly care where the fly came from, but I do believe that the fact that I noticed it in my bowl mere seconds after I received is a strong indicator to me that something went wrong in the process of me receiving the goods, and the manager should act accordingly. Trying to nitpick about how the fly got there is futile and makes me realize that you have forgotten about why you operate a restaurant: to serve others and give them experiences that make them want to return. We had been visiting Badger Bowls at least once a week since discovering it a few months ago, but they just lost two of their regular customers over the way they handled a completely avoidable situation. Good food is not that hard to find, so to me, customer service is everything.

The badger bowl was amazing. So fresh and the granola was the best I’ve ever had. The staff is friendly and so accommodating.
The price is great for how large the bowls are and the fresh ingredients.
Highly recommend 10/10!!
