If I could rate this business zero stars I would! I am a 61-year-old woman and because of health issues I am an unable to go out and get my own food so I have to rely on delivery. The wrap that I ordered came completely soggy in an edible you couldn’t even hold the wrap to take a bite! The açai bowl came with extremely extremely extremely over ripe fruit the bananas were mushy like for a child to eat the strawberries the same thing I ended up throwing all the fruit away and ended up eating my $13 açai bowl with no fruit! The items arrived separately no bag no straws nothing. The delivery driver for DoorDash had them sitting on his passenger seat so who’s to say what kind of germs were there! He said that the mad beet did not give him a bag so how many hands touched my food, etc. etc.? Extremely disappointed with the mad beet and/or my dash driver because one blames one and one blames the other. Personally I’m not going to patronize either one in the future and advise you to do the same

I have been to the mad bear many times and it’s definitely one of the best spots to get a good juice, smoothie, healthy bite, or açaí bowl. I particularly love their lemononem or whiz latefay drinks. Also by going here you are supporting local business and they even have a lot of free video games that are free to play…. The only bad note I have is they charged me for a water cup…I felt that was pretty annoying after such a large purchase. Other than that they are solid spot and worth checking out.

Purists might not like their acai bowls because I've heard that they like the acia not frozen. I'm not one of those people. This place was my first acai bowl experience (we don't have 'em in Canada) and all I can say is - yum! I think we had one every night we were here. My wife tried the acai and wasn't that keen on it, so she had the Willow Smith with real whipped cream instead. Don't these look great?[Update May 2022] I don't know what has happened in the 2+ years we've been away, but the acai bowl I got this time was nowhere near full. Maybe it was because they were getting ready to close, but now I'm hesitant to come back. Also, they close at 5pm now. That's rather early for a tourist area.

The best recovery snacks and meals are here! I love the juices and wraps!! This is our favorite place to go after the gym, or beach sessions.

Awesome spot!!! My bowl was delicious and I loved all the options and the punny names. Great vibe inside too. Everyone super friendly!

Amazing overall. Top tier smoothies and amazing Açaí bowls. Great selection of games and coloring options to entertain yourself while sipping on some delicious nectar. Would recommend to anyone

Good smoothie, but $9.22 for a 16 ounce peanut butter and banana drink with coffee instead of milk seems a bit steep. Also, the music had a few too many F bombs for my taste.

I've been to the beet before and have always had a pleasant experience but I did not have that today. Ordered the large honey o, stepped to the side and let them do their thing. As you can see, they filled it like half way. Now I did ride my bike over and parked it inside, thinking it would be quick and it wouldn't be a big deal because it was not blocking the doorway and the place wasn't busy. The gal in the back, wearing a kangaroo outfit, yelled out to move the bike. Now I didn't understand her the first time because the backstreet boys was blaring in the background. When she yelled out again I realized she was talking to me and moved the bike. I just don't think paying 12 bucks for a half filled container and getting yelled at is the best way to run a business. Anyways, thanks for letting me get it off my chest. I might be back.

Delicious delicious açaí bowl! I don’t know if it was dessert or lunch for me but I absolutely loved it! The service was quick and efficient and the menu was incredibly long with tons of choices of healthy foods to choose from as well as juices. I was here on vacation but I will definitely make this shop a part of my annual trip at least once if not multiple times next year. I got the first basic Açaí bowl on the menu that was Açaí blend with cut up bananas, strawberries, blueberries, granola and honey drizzled on top. Sweet and yummy!

I dunno about the fruit edibles but there's a wall of old school arcade games that don't require quarters and i really like the vibe!
