Palm Berries | University City

Description: A Black woman-owned smoothie and açaí shop in Charlotte serving customizable açaí, pitaya, coconut, and green bowls alongside smoothies, fresh juices, wellness shots, coffee, and light snacks in a bright tropical-inspired setting. The café features indoor seating with a casual atmosphere for meeting friends, grabbing a quick breakfast or lunch, or enjoying a refreshing drink. The menu emphasizes fresh fruit, granola, nut butters, and other customizable toppings, with options ranging from fruit-forward smoothie bowls to protein-packed blends and plant-based beverages.

Comments: They have a lot of locations, and this one is my favorite because of a pair of armchairs with a coffee table to your left when you walk in that are by a window. The armchair that's against the wall has an outlet right behind it. Top tier spot to nestle in with a laptop and get some focused study/work done while occasional peeking out at traffic on the street.

Aside from that there's a faux fireplace that looks cool with a couch and two more armchairs, two tall tables with chairs, and then a row of single sided booth seating. So, a good amount of seating throughout what is otherwise a medium sized space. The acai bowls are amazing. The dragon bowl and sunset bowl are my favorites, and the smallest size (snack) is plenty big.
