Palmetto Superfoods

BEST AÇAÍ EVER! With so many base and topping options, it makes a super delicious açaí bowl. First time I tried Palmetto in SF and immediately fell in love with it. So happy it opens here in Burlingame too!

I ordered via DoorDash for a group of 10 people and we were extremely satisfied with our açaí bowls. We all chose to build our own bowls. The customization options are plentiful and all delicious. They traveled well and felt reasonably priced considering how much food we got!

I am a Palmetto fan! I’ve been to Palmetto Inner Richmond and Cow Hollow in San Francisco M-a-n-y times. When I discovered Palmetto’s Burlingame shop, I was super happy. It’s huge compared to the City shops. I ordered a custom smoothie with everything I love. It was delicious! Another day I got a custom acai bowl…eat a rainbow of food. It’s great to get fresh fruit and add ins that taste good and are healthy too.

It was fun going to the soft opening of Palmetto Superfoods in Burlingame (there are other locations in the Metreon, on Union Street, and on Clement Street in San Francisco, with another planned for Santana Row). I learned a lot by speaking with the super friendly and deservedly-proud owner.

This location in Burlingame is a really cool little spot diagonally across from Safeway and has a sweet public rooftop sitting area. And I love that everything is plant-based except the honey and bee pollen, but they have a vegan apple honey — which is absolutely delicious — as a superior substitute.

Anyway, with a choice of bowls (and smoothies), one could choose a set one on the menu or customize everything with unlimited bases and toppings — as long as it fits in whatever size bowl you choose (yup, I totally went large). I opted for the Bay Blend, but swapped out the strawberries (not really my thing) for toasted coconut flakes (most definitely my thing).

The bowl was quickly layered by the friendly employee, who looked like she was excited for her next opportunity to surf, at least in my imagination. From the açaí, pitaya/dragonfruit, and chia pudding on the bottom to the banana and almond butter in the middle to the granola, blueberries, and toasted coconut, etc. on top, it was scrumptious and satisfying.

Wanting to try a little more deliciousness, I decided to take a Midnight Beach smoothie to go. Now that I’m gone, I know I’ll be back!

So happy Palmetto has opened a spot here in the Peninsula. There are no great options anywhere, but happy to see now we can get the best of the best! My go to is the Bay Blend or the Açaí and Coconut Beach blends...
