"he quality of the food is pretty good. The service from the owner can be terrible depending on his mood. Looking at the other reviews here it looks like i 'm not alone in that.I went back and looked at my bank statements. Since March of 2023 to Aug 2023, I have visited Bowls N Brews 32 times. As of late becoming a regular and spending on average $21.38 per visit. Usually this is a large Acai bowl and a large cold brew. Two visits ago my food and drink was delivered to me somewhat passive aggressively but today I got a verbal lashing from the owner. Straight up yelling at me about tipping. He expects a regular to tip. He said Help me pay my people but also saying he doesn 't need the money . Yelling at me to tip at least a dollar so I can help my people . If I tipped $1 for every time I have been here I would have contributed a whopping $32 over 5 months. The prices are already pretty high for the product but evidently someone does need the money because other negative reviews here mention him yelling about tips. The end of this conversation was if you cant tip then go somewhere else . my response was okay i 'll go somewhere else . As i 'm walking back to my car he is staring at me through the window yelling he says he 'll go somewhere else followed by maniacal laughing. It 's sad to see how unhinged he can get but I really feel for the coworkers who have to deal with that behavior. Judging from the other reviews I am not the first to deal with this. I think i 'll personally drop off $32 as a tip to help the workers and this is the last time I visit."
