Singapore’s Original Açaí Bowls
Founded in 2015 in Holland Village, Project Acai introduced Singapore to the açaí bowl and remains known today as Singapore’s original açaí bowl brand. What began as a small neighbourhood store has grown into a wellness-focused concept centred around one simple idea: açaí should be prepared the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
Today, Project Acai serves a menu of açaí bowls, smoothies and wholesome snacks designed around everyday wellness.
Our Philosophy
At Project Acai, how food is prepared matters as much as the ingredients themselves. From the beginning, our goal has been to serve açaí in a way that respects the natural quality of the berry, without cutting corners to make it faster or easier.
This philosophy still guides how we prepare every bowl today.
Freshly Blended Açaí
A key part of what defines Project Acai is how we prepare our açaí base.
About 80% of the açaí berry is seed. What we actually eat is the skin, the thin layer where most of the nutrition lives. That's why we don't chase a perfectly smooth, silky texture. We'd rather keep a little grit than filter that part away.
Unlike ready-to-eat sorbet formats or soft serve style preparations, our açaí is blended fresh in small batches every day, then served throughout the day. This keeps the fruit closer to its natural state, so it holds onto the texture and nutrients açaí is known for.
Repeated freezing, thawing and churning, the kind of processing many commercial formats rely on to reach a soft serve consistency, is known to break down açaí's antioxidant content. Blending fresh, in small batches, means our açaí skips that cycle, protecting both the nutritional value and the texture that comes with it.
It's a slower way of doing things, but it's the way we've always believed açaí should be done.
Today
From our original store in Holland Village, Project Acai can now be found at Takashimaya S.C., East (Katong) and VivoCity.
The açaí category has grown a lot since 2015, but our focus hasn't changed: açaí blended fresh, prepared properly, shared with the community that's supported us from the beginning.
