    I was looking for an açaí bowl after my 7:30 CorePower class, and Rush Bowls was the only spot still open! Sims was super welcoming and genuinely knowledgeable about all of the products. Love that it’s Black-owned too, which made supporting it even better. This was my first time here and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely coming back!

About Us

The Best Washington, D.C Acai Bowl Company

Rush Bowls is proud to be the leading Washington, D.C acai bowl company. With a focus on real, nutrient-rich ingredients and crave-worthy flavors, we offer a smarter alternative to the typical grab-and-go meal.

Founded in Boulder, Colorado, Rush Bowls began with one simple mission: to provide meals that are as healthy as they are delicious. Since launching, we have grown to over 55 locations nationwide, with more than 100 currently in development.

How Rush Bowls Stands Out:

  • Fresh Ingredients: We never cut corners on quality. While many competitors rely on sugary bases or processed blends, we use whole fruits, vegetables, and superfoods in every bowl.
  • Healthy AND Fast: Fast-casual dining often means choosing between convenience and nutrition. At Rush Bowls, you don’t have to compromise. Our streamlined prep process makes it easy to serve fresh food quickly without losing flavor or quality.
  • Customers Love Us: As the go-to spot for acai bowl & smoothies in Washington, D.C, D.C., Rush Bowls has built a loyal following of health-conscious customers.
Acai Bowls

Acai Bowls

Acai has long been valued for its bold flavor and natural health benefits. At Rush Bowls, we turn this powerful berry into a complete, satisfying meal that’s as enjoyable as it is nourishing.

Grown in Central and South America, acai is harvested from palm trees and blended into a nutrient-dense pulp. It contains about 4% protein, along with vitamins A, C, and E, plus calcium, iron, phosphorus, and antioxidants such as polyphenols and anthocyanins1.

These nutrients support immune health, help fight oxidative stress, and offer consistent energy without the crash. The flavor of acai is often described as a mix of wild berries and a hint of dark chocolate, making it the perfect base for delicious, nutritious smoothie bowls.

If you're craving a quick meal, a post-workout refuel, or a better snack option, our acai bowls in Washington, D.C, D.C. provide the fuel you need to power through your day.

Smoothie Bowls

Smoothie Bowls

At Rush Bowls, our smoothie bowls are packed with fruits, vegetables, fiber, and superfoods, offering a balanced meal that tastes as good as it is for your body.

A recent Sage Journals study found that people who regularly consume smoothies are more likely to meet their nutritional goals and make healthier lifestyle choices, including reducing their intake of meat and processed foods2. This is because smoothies made with real, whole ingredients make it easier to increase daily servings of fruits and vegetables.

Our smoothie bowls in Washington, D.C, D.C. come in a wide range of flavors and are fully customizable. Each bowl includes real ingredients like berries, nut butters, and leafy greens, providing a solid source of nutrition. Topped with organic granola and a drizzle of honey, it’s a meal you can feel positive about enjoying any time of day.
