Seven places to get açaí this summer
Posted on
It’s hot, it’s muggy, and you’ve had so many scoops of ice-cream that you fear you may never be able to eat it again (or at least for a couple of weeks). But you’re still craving something sweet, and cold.
Welcome to the world of açaí, my friend.
Here’s where you can indulge in a fruity bowl of goodness that will hit the sweet spot while simultaneously cooling you down to a tolerable temperature once again.
