Vitality Bowls, known as America’s number one superfood café, announced today the opening of its café in Sausalito. The brand specializes in açaí bowls – a thick blend of the Amazon’s antioxidant-rich açaí berry, topped with a variety of superfoods – as well as nutrient-packed smoothies, fresh juice, salads and panini. The new franchise location will be the second for Henry Kim, who opened his first café in Mill Valley in August 2019. Harrison Kim, has joined his father to co-manage the store operations
“We believe in Vitality Bowls’ mission of encouraging everyone to live healthy and active lifestyles,” said Henry Kim, who most recently spent 10 years as a community organizer. Henry currently lives in Mill Valley. “The menu consists of healthful options that are packed with nutrients and flavor. We’re looking forward to increasing Marin County’s accessibility to Vitality Bowls with our second café. This is one of the few healthy food options in Marin City. People can order ahead using our app or call to pick up our delicious food. We cater with no delivery charge.”
Slated to open on October 3, the new restaurant will be located at 160 Donahue St., conveniently situated in between Target and CVS. This restaurant will be the 36th Vitality Bowls café in California, joining the 135+ locations open or in development nationwide.
