With 3 teenage/early twenty-aged daughters, Acai bowls have become a “thing” in our house. They’re healthy, good to eat and provide a little bit of sweetness. We like them so much that it seems like every trip we take, or place we go, we seek out Acai bowls! We noticed however, that there we no Acai bowls in Bethesda! Because I own a sweets shop, and because everyone in my family wanted me to fill the need for Acai bowls in Bethesda – we decided to offer the healthy alternative to a mid-day snack (or anytime for that matter). Equally important, we wanted to cater to all those Bethesda people who don’t eat sweets! While we can’t imagine a life without sweets, we did want to offer a healthy option! After several months of trying recipes, figuring out serving sizes, containers and marketing material, we finally did it!
Acai Bowls are now available at Henry’s Sweet Retreat – and boy, are they good! Come in and find out for yourself!
We offer not one, but FOUR different Acai bowls. In fact, we have four unique recipes for the bases and each bowl includes different toppings. They are all healthy, and delicious alternatives to a meal or snack. Please check out our delicious Acai bowl concoctions below.
Size: We have two sizes of Acai Bowls.

- 15 oz, for $11.00
