With more Jakartans getting into the healthy bandwagon, expect more places that serve ultra-healthy food items that will make you want to ditch your gorengan and your bubur ayam morning routine. One of such food spots that we’re pretty excited about is Berrywell, a healthy bar that prides itself in their smoothie bowl, which is exactly that: smoothie in a bowl, topped with equally healthy toppings that wouldn’t get through a straw, hence the bowl.
Located in SCBD’s Fairgrounds, coming here for the very first time will be a little chore. There’s absolutely no name sign whatsoever of this place, and lack of detailed description in the social media of where in Fairgrounds they actually are doesn’t help either. Thankfully a helpful gentleman pointed me to the right direction, which is in the building’s parking lot literally hidden away from plain sight.
Which means that this ‘bar’ is completely deprived of any daylight sun too. But they make up with abundant lighting and white walls that gives a clean and spacious filling, despite occupying such a cramped space. In that Sunday morning, half of their seating areas are occupied, mostly by those still fully clad in their exercising gear.
The menu is pretty simple; there’s the smoothie bowl I mentioned, actual smoothies, cold-pressed juice, small selection of vegetarian friendly and definitely healthy wraps and burgers, cakes, teas and coffee, nearly all with calorie count displayed. The cold pressed are juices presented on the ice box by the bar, easy to grab yourself while you order the made to order smoothies. I grabbed the Asian Green (with cucumber, apple, pineapple, spinach, and lemon) while I order for the Berrywell Signature smoothie bowl.
All the smoothie bowls come in two sizes, regular and large. I opted the regular one and it was pretty filling. It consists of smoothly pulsed bananas with coconut water, acai, raspberries, strawberries topped with sliced bananas, kiwi, multi grain mix, cocoa nibs, shredded coconuts, and chia seeds. It definitely is a different sensation spooning your smoothie, and all the nutritious toppings definitely add an extra crunch that satiates your brain that always craves for texture.
There are 7 other options of tempting smoothie bowls that will tease even the least health conscious; from PB & B (with banana and peanut butter), Pina Colada (with coconut, pineapple, banana, peach), Choco Chia Parfait (with chocolate, chia, coffee, and multigrain mix). All bowls served will also come with a shot glass to drink your all you can drink infused water from, provided free of charge.
Coming here out on a whim, I’m pretty happy with what they’ve got to offer and will come back to try the other smoothie bowls and the guilt-free desserts. For any health conscious foodie or anyone who needs an inspiration on how to get more fruit and ‘superfood’ into your system, Berrywell is definitely a must try.
