Vitality Bowls San Jose Almaden

Love this place! They are a bit expensive imo, but it is good value and expected for the quality and the food they get. I recommend calling before the time in their order because that can take a little while.

Glad to see a Vitality Bowl location in Almaden Valley. As with other locations (owners also have a sister location on Cottle Rd. , this Vitality Bowl offers a wide selection of Açai Bowls in many different flavor options. Also, many other menu options as well, like smoothies, breakfast foods, salads soup, and panini's. Friendly owners and staff. Parking can be a bit limited with many other popular (and good restaurants near by. I've also included full nutrition info sheets in photos for those who are interested (yeah, you know who you are .

Vitality Bowls: When Fresh Pressed Juice is Vital for those with Severe Nut Allergies Often juice doesn’t cross process with nuts, right? Nope. With the trend of almond milk and cashew milk being used liberally in raw food cuisine and juice bars, finding fresh pressed juice or smoothies that do not contain or cross process with nuts (allergy compliant, only 10% of allergen contaminate is needed to cause an allergic reaction in the average person, this is not including more rare cases that can also occur) might not be as easy to locate as one may think. Vitality Bowl makes this possible- thank you Vitality Bowl for being mindful of the food allergy niche as many of us follow raw diets or diets that incorporate more raw because of nuts contaminating much processed food. You are needed in the industry, and you are appreciated. You are seeked out by nut allergy customers, other allergy customers, and celiacs customers alike. Also by those who have to avoid more processed food (medical diets) and by those who choose to eat more mindfully alike. Thank you for including us all. Make sure to notify your cashier or server upon ordering as they will switch out gloves and use all freshly cleaned and sanitized kitchenware to prepare your meal. I give 4 out of 5 stars because it can be a little pricey for a la carte juices (such as only celery juice). 2 bundles of celery would cost about $2 but the restaurant charges over $6 for only celery juice. Yet the price is the same for a la carte much more expensive produce . It would be nice to have a pricing scale a little more sensitive to the cost of produce (cheaper ingredients be assigned a less expensive a la carte price). But otherwise I love this fast, casual, and mindful approach restaurant focused on clean eats, juice, smoothies, and açaí bowls. This location is on Cherry Street (San Jose). They have a handful of locations not just this one, which is wonderful because it’s making clean food more accessible on the road, for nearby businesses, and for neighboring retail stores to have more healthy food options to choose from. Update April 30th 2019: I met the owner at their Cherry Street Location. He is very food allergy literate, explained to me that the company was created in his son’s honor (who passed away at 20 years) due to anaphylaxis from peanuts. He ate at a restaurant he was a regular at (the ingredients and handling changed, was not updated on the menu) and he didn’t have his epi-pen with him. He died. His father and family created this company in his honor and to better serve the community and be involved in the food allergy awareness as well. Heart touching story, his humility and kind heart (wanting to better serve others in his son’s honor) really touched my foodie with food allergy’s heart.

I ordered a Cacao smoothie that was very good and the Avocado toast.

Really expensive for what you get. The hot tea isn't even made for you. Also, be warned, the Kids Sunsation smoothie is the kids size (12oz), not 20oz as the menu would suggest. Overall not terrible, but the service and food don't do enough to justify the high price.
