Vitality Bowls Now Open in Mill Valley

BY NORTH BAY VOYAGER – Clean eaters, bowl freaks, smoothie fanatics and panini people – a new cafe has opened up in Mill Valley with your name written all over it: Vitality Bowls.

The franchise opened last week in the Alto Plaza near Whole Foods. Vitality Bowls was founded by Tara and Roy Gilad in 2011. The couple opened their first store in San Ramon “as a result of discovering their daughter’s severe food allergies and wanting to find healthy, safe food alternatives.”

Today, the franchise has 135 stores nationwide, with the latest in the North Bay.

According to the Marin IJ, the new Vitality Bowls is operated by Henry Kim, who shared the company’s mission of healthy eating and decided to leave his decade long career in finance to become a bowl boss (ok, we really don’t know if that is his title, but it should be).

The menu features made-to-order bowls, including açai bowls, salads, soups, panini, raw juices and smoothies. The store offers a kids menu and also catering, so you can surprise your loved ones with a big giant bowl of chia seeds topped with berries for their birthday.

Kim told the Marin IJ that he plans to open a second location in Sausalito in the fall.

Vitality Bowls is open 8 AM to 8 PM daily at 765 Blithedale Ave., Mill Valley, 415-381-1700, vitalitybowls.com.

BY MARIN INDEPENDENT JOURNAL – Where’s your healthy dose of graviola, acerola, mangosteen and camu camu showing up next? Superfood ingredients like these and a few others with more recognizable names such as spirulina, bee pollen and hemp seeds have continued to make a mark in Marin. The latest eatery to join the craze is Vitality Bowls in Mill Valley’s Alto Plaza near the Whole Foods Market on East Blithedale Avenue.

Owner Henry Kim opened the 600-square-foot franchise eatery, a part of the Northern California born national chain, last week.

“After hearing about Vitality Bowls’ mission of encouraging everyone to live healthy and active lifestyles, I knew this was a brand I could get behind,” says Kim, who most recently spent 10 years in the finance industry.

The health-focused café offers a variety of made-to-order açaí bowls; breakfast and dessert bowls; nutrient-packed smoothies and fresh raw juices, as well as panini, salads and soups. There’s also a kids menu. Kim plans to open a second location in Sausalito in fall 2019 to join 35 cafés in California and more than 135 nationwide.

Vitality Bowls is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily at 765 East Blithedale Ave. To find out more, go to vitalitybowls.com/locations/mill-valley or call 415-381-1700.
