A new shop bringing viral Strawberry Cloud smoothies along with Nutella Bowls and Loaded Toast is arriving soon at The Bowl at Ballantyne. South Block, which calls itself a “better-for-you” brand, has landed on Charlotte for its first expansion outside the Washington, D.C., area. It offers handcrafted acai bowls and smoothies made with organic fair-trade acai, fresh fruit and superfood supplements.

The doors open in Ballantyne on Saturday, Jan. 17 at 8 a.m., with a location in Plaza Midwood set to follow this spring. South Block’s grand opening celebration will include giveaways including mini acai bowls for the first 100 guests, live music, swag and face painting. Founder Amir Mostafavi is planning to be there, sharing fist bumps and “good vibes,” he told CharlotteFive.
