IT’S A VIBE

About our culture

we think it’s pretty Darn good.

There are a lot of things we care about, but here are three of our values that bubble up to the top.

GIVE PEOPLE VALUE.

Who *doesn’t* like a good deal?! We sure do! We want you to feel like you just got hooked up, every time you choose Blue Bowl. That’s why we only use THE best quality ingredients and if you want extra of something, we make it happen.

tREAT People Well.

Whether for our guests or our team, we want people to know they matter. We are not just here to make bowls -- we want our customers and team to be listened to and cared for. If we fall short of that, we aren’t doing our job.

Have some
fun.

There are lots of times when being serious is the right call -- sitting down for an exam or listening to your mom scold you. But we also have to remember that life is very very short, so let’s enjoy it and have a barnyard of a time when we can.

About the Owners

They’re not too shabby…

“I’ve been called the Steve Jobs of açaí. I’m not joking, that really happened once!”

— Teague, Blue Bowl Founder

The Juicy Backstory…

For Teague, the goal of Blue Bowl originated overseas during military service in the US Army, working as an officer in a highly stressful environment.

He was confronted daily with the search for a fast and healthy meal that offered a natural boost of energy. After returning to the US of A, Teague found himself back in a world where so many were looking for that same thing! Teague took to the drawing board and wound up testing ideas in local farmers’ markets.

Meanwhile, Ish, a health food industry insider, was busy in the world of sales when their paths crossed. Together, Teague and Ish set off to build the first create-your-own acai bowl model, giving customers the power to make a bowl exactly how they want it.

The very first Blue Bowl opened in Orange, in a shopping plaza so no-frills it basically had zero frills — just fun, bowls, and a dream.

More than a decade later, that first shop has grown into a full lineup of locations across Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego counties. Teague and Ish are still leading the way today, just as fired up as they were on day one, perhaps with a few more battle scars and funny stories.
