Hear from our valued guests
Thank you Claudia!!! she does an exceptional job, always making my smoothie to perfection. After the gym I always stop by to get a smoothie and Claudia already knows my order lol. Customer Service is amazing in this store! Definitely recommend. 10/10!!
The atmosphere is amazing, I come here everyday after my workout and I can always expect a smile from the workers. They always make my smoothie amazing and the bowls are really good. I love the granola
i had a really good time here and i enjoyed my bowl giselle got me right :P.
South Block Gwu is literally the best spot ever. Claudia is the best worker!! Gave us a free bowl near closing time. 10/10 recommend!
I come here all the time and they have great smoothies! Super healthy ingredients and really friendly staff. Sometimes they’ll give you a large if they made too much for a regular which is really nice. Claudia is very friendly and always smiles at guests!
Love this place!!! So convenient that it’s on campus. I always look forward to something refreshing but also filling after a long day of classes and this place hits. My favorite is the Nutella bowl and the portions are so generous! All staff members are super sweet :)
I come here a lot for the açaí bowls and smoothies and they never disappoint! Lots of options between açaí, smoothies, and smoothie bowls but my personal favorite is the Nutella bowl.
strategically placed above the gym, the GW south block has been my go to every day for the past month of my life. pictured below is my usual nutella bowl with its coconut toppings replaced with blueberries. especially on sunny days, the açaí bowls of south block highlight my days with just the right amount of sweet and cold to offset the heat. even if i have to stomach my shame of walking to the gym just to get south block instead of work out, i still find the experience worth it. i am also more inclined to uphold my obsession now that the workers know my order and name. summer will be plain hot and no joy being away from the GW south block. all love, ur local GW student obsessed w south block
Love this South Block!! Super convenient and easy to get a smoothie before or after class. The staff are always kind and give great recommendations. The magic dragon bowl in particular is absolutely delicious. I’ll be coming back very soon!
This was my first time at this specific South Block location. I discovered it’s inside GW’s Lerner Health and Wellness Center. I ordered ahead via the app, and my Loaded PBJ Acai Bowl was ready when I arrived. The guy working behind the counter was super friendly and made the experience even better. The price was the same as other South Block locations, which I appreciated. While I’m not usually in this part of town, I would definitely stop by again next time I am! Highly recommend their açaí bowls.
