Great breakfast!

My husband got the large size dragon (pitaya) bowl and we were pleasantly surprised at how large it was. I got the 3 berry oatmeal bowl and it was very tasty and filling. We both subbed honey for agave with no problem. Will definitely be going back!

Pros: Good sized portions , Tasty, Quick service

Great for breakfast

There isn't much for breakfast in the area for vegans so this place saved us. We ate here 4 mornings and everything was super good. It does take quite a while for your order so I recommend ordering online beforehand if you are in a rush. They did mess up my order the last day and I didn't have time to wait. A lot of items have honey and/or bee pollen, which you can sub both with other things. They didn't sub both last time but I had to just deal with it. It's a little pricey but large portions are healthy food.

Awesome bowls

Delicious bowls, ask for agave instead of honey and remove yogurt on some bowls

Dank Açaí

Super dank açaí bowls. I ordered without honey, and they added extra berries for free (also offered agave instead of honey). Skip the honey / better without it, and cruelty free

Delicious

Nearly all of the açaí bowls and oatmeal’s and food in general here is vegan. Just be sure to skip the honey and bee pollen.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Healthy , Tasty

Cons: Expensive

Heaven on Earth

I'd be lying if I said at least some small part of why I decided to get my BA from UCSB had nothing to do with this place... Backyard Bowls is absolutely incredible. Huge selection of açai smoothie bowls, and you can get whatever you want on top- yum yum YUM! They also have quinoa cereal, oatmeal, and other yummy breakfast-y bowls, and a great assortment of plant milk options! Pretty much anything on their menu can be made vegan, just make sure to not have them put bee pollen or honey on your bowl if you don't eat honey & the like. I cannot recommend this place enough, though! You absolutely must give it a try if you're in the area!

Pros: Incredible açai bowls, Fun toppings, Huge servings for a reasonable $
