What to expect
I first went in on a rainy afternoon walk through Oud Zuid, and the bright interior made a nice change from the Amsterdam drizzle. The walls are blue and green with wooden accents, so the place feels relaxed and a bit beachy. It’s a quick-service counter, not a sit-down café, so expect to order at the till and either grab a seat or take your bowl away.
This location is part of OAKBERRY, the Brazilian açaí chain. The brand says it has more than 600 stores in over 35 countries and sources its açaí from the Brazilian Amazon. According to the store’s menu listing, the açaí sorbet is made in Oakberry’s own factory and is certified organic. The base is thick, cold and only lightly sweet, which is why most people pile toppings on it.
What makes Oakberry different from a general smoothie bar is the build-your-own format. Pick a size, then add as many toppings as you like: granola, fruit, nut butter and other extras. If you’d rather not choose, the signature bowls are tested combinations with fixed ingredients.
Menu and prices
The prices below come from this location’s Uber Eats menu, checked in September 2026. Delivery-app prices can be higher than in-store prices and change often, so treat them as a guide.
| Size | Volume | Bowl | Smoothie |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic | 350 ml | €14.50 | €12.90 |
| Works | 500 ml | €16.50 | €15.50 |
| The Oak | 650 ml | €17.90 | €16.90 |
These signature bowls were listed at the time of checking. All are 500 ml:
- Original Açaí Bowl (€16.50): açaí, banana, peanut butter and granola
- Tiger Açaí Bowl (€17.90): açaí, double strawberry, peanut butter, granola and whey protein
- Pistachio Açaí Bowl (€17.90): açaí, pistachio cream, chia pudding, granola and strawberry
- Crunchy Açaí Bowl (€19.50): açaí, strawberries, cacao nibs, blueberries, granola and chia pudding
- Matcha Açaí Bowl (€19.50): açaí, strawberry, goji berry, honey and matcha chia pudding

Vegan, allergen and dietary notes
Oakberry says its açaí is vegan and free of preservatives. That doesn’t make every item on the menu vegan. The Tiger bowl and Power Punch smoothie contain whey protein, the Golden Almonds bowl and Super Glow smoothie contain collagen, and the Matcha bowl contains honey. If you eat plant-based, build your own bowl or ask staff to swap those ingredients.
The store’s menu warns that products are made in an environment where nuts, milk and gluten are present, so cross-contamination can happen. If you have a serious allergy, speak to staff before you order. Also, don’t assume the granola is gluten-free.
Best time to visit
Weekday mornings are usually the quietest. I often stop in around 9:00 before work, and a cold bowl is a good start to the day, even on a Monday.
Lunchtime gets busier because people from the neighbourhood come in for a quick meal. The queue moves fairly fast, though. Weekends can be crowded, especially on sunny afternoons, so arrive before noon or after about 16:00 if you want an easier visit.
Summer afternoons and early evenings are my favourite time to go, because a cold açaí smoothie makes the most sense then. Closing time is early evening, not late night, so don’t plan on it as an after-dinner stop.
How to get there
By tram: Take tram 5 or 24 to Gerrit van der Veenstraat. From there it’s about a two-minute walk to Brahmsstraat. The Beethovenstraat stop is also close, roughly 160 metres or three minutes away. Museumplein is not the right stop for this location; it’s much further north.
By bike: Cycling is often the quickest way to get around Zuid. Lock your bike to a proper rack, not a railing or someone’s front steps. If you need a route idea for afterwards, see our best cycling routes in Amsterdam.
On foot: If you’re already exploring Oud Zuid, walking there is easy. The streets around Beethovenstraat are pleasant to wander before or after your bowl.
By car: Street parking in Amsterdam-Zuid is paid and often hard to find. For a quick açaí stop, the tram or a bike is usually simpler.
Public transport tips: Use the GVB app to plan your trip. For fares, contactless payment and ways to save, see our Amsterdam budget guide.
Tips for visiting
- Build your own: The signature bowls are good, but building your own gives you more for your money. My usual order is an açaí base with granola, banana, strawberries and peanut butter.
- Pick the right size: The 350 ml Classic makes a snack, and 500 ml is closer to a meal. If you’re sharing, The Oak (650 ml) usually costs less than two small bowls.
- Skip the rush: Early mornings and mid-afternoons on weekdays tend to be calmer than lunchtime or sunny weekends.
- Take photos quickly: The bowls look great, but the sorbet base starts melting within minutes.
- Mention dietary needs up front: Tell staff if you’re vegan or have allergies. Some signature items include whey, collagen or honey, and nuts, milk and gluten are handled on site.
- Order a smoothie on the go: Smoothies travel better than bowls if you’re heading straight back to the tram.
- Make it a picnic: Take your order away and cycle north to Vondelpark. For more options, see our guide to the best picnic spots in Amsterdam.
- Ask about specials: Seasonal flavours and promotions change, so ask at the counter what’s running, and whether there’s an app or loyalty programme, if you think you’ll become a regular.
