Rütz Açai and Cafe

It’s the best in town! We really love this dessert and no where else in town will you get this quality of taste and service!

Tried this place for the first time today. Straight up explosion of amaze-​balls flavor. The staff was very informative and I settled on the deluxe. I was very impressed and it’s worth every dime. I’ve never had acai and this is one way to pop my acai bowl cherry. Everything is organic and nothing is processed.
Overall, I’ve become addicted and a lifetime customer.
This place needs its own storefront so I can eat myself stupid in the corner at my own table!

I went to the Sunday Farmer’s Market by the marketplace with my baby sister and tried out their deluxe acai bowl.
I got a standard acai bowl with blueberries, bananas, strawberries, coconut, and granola with a nice squeeze of honey at the top. You can’t really go wrong with acai bowls and I really appreciated this one since the acai was nice and dark (which means nothing else really got added to the sorbet). I was also eying the pitaya bowl since I have never heard of that one, but I didn’t have enough stomach space to try it this time!
This place gets a 4 out of 5 stars because the service seemed a bit surly to me! I get that its probably over 100 degrees since its Bakersfield and ITS FREAKING HOT– but at the same time, I was a paying customer and my server just didn’t give off a friendly feeling.

Found Rutz Acai and Café at the Haggin Oaks Farmers Market on a Sunday. They had a little place set up there. We are fans of Acai so we decided to give them a try.
Ordered the Starter bowl which includes Acai, granola, bananas, and strawberries. Tasted good. Wish the portion had been larger. $ 8 is a bit steep for the portion size. Do not think I would purchase it very often.
Still, it is a nice stop at the Sunday Farmers Market. Good and healthy snack.

I tried their deluxe acai bowl; it was good. My wife ordered the dragon fruit bowl and she liked it more than my acai bowl. She said the dragon fruit bowl was not too sweet and she has eaten a lot of dragon fruit as a child. I told the man making the bowls about a one dollar discount in Unilocal for the deluxe bowl and he gave me the discount. The customer service was great.

Glad I came to the farmer’s market. Delicious acai bowl. Refreshing on a hot day. I will definitely be returning!

Omg so awesome it’s like healthy ice cream. The flavor of the delux bowl is the best but I’ve also had the dragon fruit. It’s a great morning snack to refuel after a run (they hade a protein one) or anytime.

This is a perfect treat that feels like a cheat!!! ;*)) Try the Caveman and add strawberries… Mmmm!!!

I am absolutely in love with this place and the guys that work/​own it! They are very personable and remember me almost every time I visit (which seems to be pretty much a weekly ritual) and know I only want banana.
Great and tasty acai, as well as, nice workers! Bakersfield needed a healthy and reasonably priced snack!

Being a fan of acai thru beverages and a healthy lifestyle, a friend told me about this place (food truck) and of coarse I had to try it. The pure acai sorbet was topped with fresh strawberries, banana, coconut shavings, granola, and honey. Love at first bite! Oh yea, the dudes in the truck are friendly and jiu-​jitsu knowledgeable. Bonus! I’m working on becoming a regular.

Acai, oh how I love thee. Being the only place for proper acai in town. I always end up with the deluxe bowl subbing peanut butter for strawberries. The peanut butter used to be a part of the bowl but I guess that is not how the general public likes it.
The combination of the acai, peanut butter, granola, honey & coconut is hard to beat on taste, add in the fact that its somewhat healthy and you have a winning meal replacement, dessert or mid day snack.

Delicious but always hard to find! I came one day because I was really craving one and they had picked up early I just feel if they say that theyclose at 6 then they should close at 6 no earlier than that

Stopped here on way home from yosemite.
Cool deal with the mobile truck & all.
Delicious bowls with great toppings, but the price is too steep for how small the bowls are.
I bought the deluxe bowl for $ 8(after checkin coupon) and it was great, but acai places near my home offer double the portion for the same price.
The rich mans acai shop on a poor corner in Bakersfield. :/

I found the amazing Rütz Açai and Café on the New Businesses in Bakersfield section of Unilocal.What a welcomed healthy addition to Bakersfield. The food truck currently travels around town. I have started following them on fb and have become a regular at their establishment. I typically order the protein bowl which comes with Açai, bananas, strawberries, peanut butter, granola, and the option to add protein powder. Their granola is very tasty and has an awesome crunch. Also you can’t beat the fresh fruit and açai, this makes for one powerful and healthy bowl of goodness. I love how I feel after eating an açai bowl, not bloated but full and full of energy.
The service at the Rütz Açai and Café is top notch. The owners are always super friendly and courteous. A must try.

Awesome! Fresh, cold, and healthy. If you don’t know what Acai is, look it up and try this. I was familiar with the berries and drinks that were popularized in recent years, but have never tried it in this form. The Acai berries are pureed and kept almost frozen resembling ice cream, then topped with fruits and grannola.
There are 3 options. Starter Bowl, Protein Bowl, and Deluxe Bowl. The difference is essentially the different toppings. You can always customize to your liking. I went straight for the Deluxe.
In the Deluxe, the Acai is topped with grannola, strawberries, bannana, honey, blueberries (I substituted it for chocolate chips), and coconut shavings. Must must try.
I was in the mood for a bionico (Mexican fruit salad with yogurt and grannola) when I came accross this place on Unilocal.Perfect summer treat. You gotta try it. The guy is super friendly and will describe everything for you before you choose.

Disappointed. However it may be my own fault. I few days prior to this I was in Hawaii and had an epic Acai bowl at Bogart’s in Honolulu. It was $ 9 which is basically the same price as what you would pay here. The bowl at Bogart’s was also MUCH larger. However this place has Acai bowls monopolized here in Bakersfield so they can charge that.
All that being said, this place had a good Acai Bowl. I just wish it was cheaper for the small portion size you get. I also like how they have different specials and toppings they rotate in. I’ll be back.

A moment of silence please. This place put coldstone, baskin robins, yogurtland, and everywhere out of business. I think of it like an in and out of places… 3 items on the menu and still better than the other places I mentioned. It’s fresh and cool for this hot weather. I ordered the starter it has acai, strawberry, banana, granola, and I added honey. This simple concoction is like sex in my mouth.
The end.

Rütz Açai and Café just blew into town like a breath of fresh air. Well, they operate out of a food truck so technically they drove into town but you get the idea. Those of you who struggle to find fresh, healthy, organic, and tasty — yet fast — food options will be as thrilled as I was to hear that. They’ve been setting up at special events for two months now, but they’re still considered the new kid on the block because they’ve only been parked at their current location at 2409 Brundage Lane (on the Southwest Corner of Brundage & Hughes/​A Street) for a week or two. It’s pretty hard to miss the bright red trailer parked next to a blue portable gazebo which provides a shady area safe from the Bakersfield summer sun where one can enjoy your tasty treats.
Açai bowls are the latest health craze that is sweeping the nation. For those unfamiliar with them, check out this article
. I can’t believe somebody has finally brought them to Bakersfield!
Rütz starts each of their bowls with a generous helping of their smooth and creamy, soft-​frozen all organic Sambazon Açai base. The Starter Bowl then has a layer of crunchy granola and is topped with the freshest, juiciest, sliced strawberries and bananas you’ve ever tasted. The Protein Bowl, the next step up, has all of those smooth and crunchy, fresh and juicy layers, and binds it all together with ribbons of protein-​packed peanut butter. Mom and I decided to go for the gusto and order their top of the line, Cadillac, bowl The Deluxe. The Deluxe Bowl had a super generous portion of creamy purple frosty Açai sorbet topped with sweet crunchy granola, peanut butter, sliced strawberries, bananas, and blueberries, and was topped off with drizzled honey and shaved coconut. Every bite had a different combination of flavors and textures, all of them wonderfully tasty, healthy, and organic. I’ve heard Açai bowls referred to as the Brazilian Breakfast treat, but it’s utility goes far beyond breakfast to constitute the perfect, lunch, dinner, or even generous snack. I keep referring to it as a treat because it tastes more like a dessert than a boring old main dish.
Catching them open may seem a bit tricky at first. According to their website, they are open at this location every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11am — 7 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 10 – 3 when they are not at an event, but the gentleman working there said they are usually at events most weekends. He suggested that I to follow their page on FaceBook where they post updates on where they’ll be and when. (Been there done that)
My thanks to fellow Elite Unilocaler, McKenzie S. For recommending this fabulous little food truck to me! I’ve made my first foray into the world of Rütz Açai and Café and I’m pretty sure I’m already an addict. Do yourself a favor and make the trip down here to see what it’s all about.
Trust me. Just do it.

Just the other day I was wondering where I could find a local place that serves Açaí bowls. It’s a huge trend down south, and something I longed for, especially in the heat of the summer. I was pleasantly surprised to learn of this local place! And so begins my summer love affair.
They’re currently located on the corner of Brundage and Hughes/​A st. in the Mr. tuxedo parking lot. They have a few choices for bowls, I chose the Deluxe which included granola, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, honey and coconut. It was amazing!
If you’ve never had an Açaí bowl, it’s like a cross between a smoothie and froyo topped with all kinds of tasty goodies. It’s filling, yet incredibly refreshing. I especially liked the bits of granola and drizzle of honey.
I highly recommend this place. Not only is it tasty and healthy, but it’s important to help support local business owners! Try it out!

Got a chance to enjoy this unique food experience the other day.
The Acai fruit was like a sorbet, and the flavor was incredible! I got a «protein» bowl which included fresh cut fruit, a bit of oatmeal, and some nuts. May have been some peanut butter in there as well.
All in all a complex and very-​satisfying mixture of flavors and textures that actually took care of my hunger the rest of the morning.
You can bet I’ll be tracking them down at another event!
