Our Sherman Oaks location is the only Ubatuba Acaithat serves our speciality smoothies blended with a variety of juices or hemp milk, pitaya or acai, and fresh fruits.

History

Established in 2013.

In Brazil, acai bowls are everywhere. When I moved to the states, I missed being able to have a delicious acai snack whenever I pleased. That's why I opened Ubatuba Acai in 2013. I noticed that other juice bars were selling acai, but it wasn't the same flavor or consistency that I had back home. Since I wanted to bring authentic Brazilian acai to Southern California, I began importing my own acai from Brazil and selling it for an affordable price like we Brazilians do. To pay homage to my home, I named my store Ubatuba after my hometown located in the state of San Paulo. Ubatuba means "many canoes" in Portugese, and canoes are the primary transportation used to bring acai from small villages along the Amazon rivers to bigger ports. I hope you enjoy Ubatuba acai as much as I have enjoyed bringing this little slice of Brazil in California!
