Another healthy option is Nautical Bowls: Plant-based, gluten, soy and dairy-free acai and smoothie bowls made with organic and natural ingredients. These bowls are as beautiful as they are tasty and nutritious. Some fan favorites from the menu include the classic “Nauti Bowl” with acai, peanut butter, bananas, granola and cacao nibs and the “Paddle Bowl” with tropical layers of coconut and mango.

Quick service. Basically no line.
Good food. Lots of options and they will customize. The bowels are a little sweeter than would be ideal but still they are pretty healthy.
Finding parking on the weekend can be a little tough.

I visited in late September. The inside is so clean and inviting with a nautical theme, of course. There was a customer waiting for her order so I went to the ladies' room. The bathroom was the cleanest of all public restaurant bathrooms I'd been in for a very long time. For me, a clean place to eat is priceless!! Since I had never been here and didn't know much about it, the server, Kate, was kindly willing to answer my questions. One of the most pleasant servers encounteredin awhile, I'd say.
I ordered the paddle bowl with bananas as an extra topping. I watched as she layered up the goodness...it was beautiful!! And I told Kate that. I was so pleased that we both forgot about those bananas I paid for. At any rate, I forgive you, Kate.
I do plan to stop by again soon anyway. I'll be looking for the same results, if not better!
If you noticed that I gave only 4 stars for service... Kate and I know why I did that.

The food was wonderful and the lady at the front desk was very knowledgeable and kind! I have been to places that have games and there cool and all but they can be time consuming. Connections jar is a great way to get to either get to know someone or just learn something new about a person.

I was surprised, never had an Acai bowl before and absolutely loved it. Lots of seating if you want to eat in, and subway style custom bowls or their own premade recipes. Got the protein bowl & bulls bowl. Was quick, owner was friendly, I'll definitely be back.

I was so excited to see downtown Durham finally got an açaí bowl place and it didn’t disappoint! The food was delish and the staff was super friendly. I can’t wait to come back and cannot recommend it enough!

I had a fantastic experience at Nautical Bowls. I got the protein bowl which had tons of peanut butter and did not disappoint. The acai was cold and refreshing on a hot day. Their staff was super friendly and patient as I tried to decide my order. Will definitely be back!
