Açaí bowls done properly, and the queue moves fast even when it's busy — handy when you've got a hungry child and no patience left. It's a small, modern space with a handful of tables, so it's tight with a big pram at peak times, though buggy access, high chairs and a few outdoor seats help, and there's a bathroom. The draw is building your own bowl from unlimited toppings, so fussy eaters and grown-ups both get something they'll actually finish; the pistachio smoothie gets singled out, and staff ask about allergies when you order. The team are patient with indecision and happy to explain the options. Be warned on price — around £12 for a standard cup, more for the largest, with extras charged on top. One parent and their son call themselves "açai addicts".
