Our Texas Everbowl Experience

Everbowl is a superfood bowl and smoothie shop. Everbowl is a fast-casual, healthy food eatery featuring a menu of build-your-own Açaí and other "craft superfood" bowls and smoothies. Founded by healthy lifestyle advocate and San Diego serial entrepreneur Jeff Fenster, Everbowl started as a singular operation in San Diego's Poway community  in 2016.

 
When asked why he came up with the idea, Fenster explained, "As a parent and fitness enthusiast, I wanted to be on the right side of history when it comes to encouraging healthy eating habits. I decided to open Everbowl locations in multiple, high traffic areas to ensure that everyone has the ability to access superfoods, fresh fruits and vegetables in the hopes that consumers will integrate these foods into their everyday lives."
 
Everbowl has a corporate philosophy they call “Unevolve lifestyle.” The Unevolve lifestyle doesn’t mean opting out of modern pleasures—it means pursuing them happily through movement and nourishment that actually feeds you, not just fills you. This is accomplished by using all natural ingredients. Stuff, in their words, “That has been around forever.”
 
While visiting Diane prior to our marriage in the middle of Covid, she had taken me to an Everbowl in Bonita, California, for my first Everbowl. Very fresh and loaded with Açaí ( I am reminded constantly....it's pronounced Ah-sigh-ee) and fruit. When I moved Diane to Texas, we tried a couple of local Açaí bowl places but none raised up to the level of her Everbowl experiences. Diane often bemoaned the lack of quality Açaí places and prayed that Everbowl would expand into Texas. And then it happened

She learned an Everbowl had opened in Flower Mound, Texas . Diane closely followed their expansion and when she found out they were opening a store in McKinney, Texas , a few miles from our home, she was as giddy as a school girl and scheduled us to attend the soft opening of their McKinney store.

 

So in the late afternoon, we made our way out to the corner of El Dorado Parkway and South Custer Road on the border of Frisco, Texas and McKinney. There we joined a cue of other Everbowl faithful to be among the first 500 patrons to get a free bowl of their sacred blend of Açaí and fruit. While in line we met with a couple of the franchise owners and spoke with Justin from Corporate.

He explained how franchisees are brought in to learn the Everbowl process and culture so the product stays consistent between stores no matter what region they come from. The same Açaí made in California will be made in Texas or wherever Everbowl expands to. To see the video, click HERE.

We all inched our way to the entrance while only five people at a time were allowed into the inner sanctum to get their bowls. Finally, Diane and I made our way by the gate-keepers to order our bowls. I ordered the Apple Up and Diane got the Chewy (minus the Coconut).

We closely followed the servers as they handmade each bowl to order. Laying the base Açaí halfway up the bowl and then handing it off to more servers who layered in all the toppings until it’s journey ended at the cashier and into our waiting hands.
