How a Trip to Rio Sparked an Açaí Obsession

From Minnesota to Florida:

A Love Story with Açaí

Sun, Sand & Açaí: The Journey That Started It All

Rio Açaí began with a dream—to bring the bold, refreshing taste of true Brazilian açaí to the heart of Minnesota.

Founded by a Brazilian family passionate about sharing their culture, Rio Açaí quickly became a local favourite for its vibrant bowls, fresh ingredients, and feel-good vibes.

From our very first spoonful, we wanted to serve more than just food—we wanted to serve energy, community, and a taste of Rio de Janeiro’s joyful spirit.

Our Minnesota store was built on these values, and with the support of our amazing customers, we’ve grown into something special.

💜 Same Roots. New Vibes.

At both our Minnesota and Florida stores, we stay true to what makes Rio Açaí unique:

  • 100% authentic açaí, straight from Brazil
  • Always fresh, always vibrant
  • Vegan-friendly and full of flavor
  • Designed for people who love life, color, and good energy

We’re grateful to everyone who’s been part of our journey so far—and we can’t wait to welcome more people into the Rio family in Florida.
