Here in the heart of Louisiana, natives don’t truly understand the weight of a deliciously smooth acai bowl.

We’re a southern swamp, not a tropical paradise, so when going into smoothie bowl restaurants, critique with a grain of salt. Although I prefer to make a smoothie bowl at home, as soon as I heard Everbowl was on campus, I had to see if it measured up to my standards.

Everbowl, located at 3646 Nicholson Drive, was cozy when walking in. There’s plenty of space for customers to bring friends or to study. Off to the side, the acai shop offers a free coffee bar, making every college student appreciate this kind gesture.

The restaurant has plenty of smoothie bowl options, making a decision hard, but be sure to try its classic everbowl if you’re scared to step out of your comfort zone. The classic everbowl has its acai base at the bottom, with granola layers, and the bowl is topped with bananas, strawberries and blueberries. The creamy and smooth acai base is a wonderful consistency, sure to melt in your mouth.

The bowl costs $12.14, which can add up for a college student’s budget; however, if you are seriously craving a smoothie bowl and are on campus, Everbowl might be your best bet. The bowls can be taken to-go or you can sit down with a friend and get your studying done in one of its comfy chairs.

Everbowl is open every day from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., waiting to satisfy your cravings.
