Recently, my husband and I visited TRU Bowl Superfood Bar in Westlake Village. We were in the area at a local bookstore and made our way over to TRU Bowl for some smoothies and açaí bowls.
The cafe is modern, bright and clean inside. What’s great about TRU Bowl is that you can see all their fresh fruit offerings behind the plexiglass counter. So, for those who want to make their own custom craft bowl, you can point to the different toppings (fruit, granola, superfoods, etc.) that will be in your bowl. Also, did I mention that they have different bases – meaning that you can choose from açaí, chia pudding, ube, maple cold oats, etc.
For folks like me who get overwhelmed with the different options, TRU Bowl has signature bowls like their Coconut Dream Bowl, Rio Bowl, and Island Bowl to choose from. My husband ordered the PRO Bowl with an OG Smoothie.
I asked Doug, the TRU Bowl franchise owner, what are the popular bowls and smoothies. I ended up choosing the EZ TRU Bowl and a Cali Vibe Smoothie topped with chia seeds. Both of those are very popular at the Westlake Village location.
TRU Bowl Westlake Village has been open for 2 months. While we were there, we noticed a steady stream of customers, from families in sports uniforms, to teens, and older people picking up their to-go orders.
I thought the décor was nice – cute wall signage, festive Halloween decorations, plenty of seating (tables and wall bench with stools).

Love this review of TRU Bowl Superfood Bar in Westlake Village! 🥣 The bowls look vibrant, nutritious and just the kind of treat you feel good about. Thanks for sharing your experience and giveaway — definitely checking this place out next time I’m in the area!
I’d definitely be ordering the Cali Vibe Smoothie!

I don’t have anything like Tru Bowl close to where I live. It looks lovely inside and I love the look of the smoothies and bowls on offer.
I am not sure there is a Tru Bowl near me, this is definitely something my daughter would love they sound so great
Sounds healthy and yummy. Thanks for the recommendation.
I’ve not been to a café for smoothie bowls or acai before. This place sounds great. I love the signage they have used. The Cali Vibe Smoothie topped with chia seeds sounds lovely, everything you had looks so yummy, filling and healthy too!!!!!
