Vitality Bowls Feeds Sunnyvale's Superfood Cravings

Local Entrepreneurs Open Second Area Cafe

Healthy eating just got even easier in Sunnyvale.

Vitality Bowls, which specializes in açaí bowls – a thick blend of the Amazon’s antioxidant-rich açaí berry, topped with a variety of superfoods – announced today the opening of its second café in Sunnyvale. The new franchise location will be the second for Anil Nair and Anupama Krishnan, who also own a Vitality Bowls café in Cupertino. They are supported also by two new business partners at this new location.

“After seeing the success of the first café in Sunnyvale, we’re thrilled to bring a second Vitality Bowls to the area for even more locals and residents to enjoy,” said Anil, whose Cupertino café opened in 2015. “From the first bite I took from an açaí bowl at Vitality Bowls, I knew it was the start of a new journey for me. The incredible taste of the fresh ingredients and the feeling it provides is just an unbeatable combination.”

Slated to open on May 4, the new restaurant will be located in Downtown Sunnyvale at 115 South Frances Street, conveniently situated at the busy intersection of Evelyn Avenue and Frances Street and right across the street from Sunnyvale Caltrain Station. This restaurant will be the 25th Vitality Bowls café in California, joining the 32 locations based nationwide.

Originating in Northern California, Vitality Bowls has solidified itself as America’s superfood café – combining a dynamic café vibe with a unique collection of menu items containing high nutritional values and extraordinary tastes. Vitality Bowls offers an antioxidant-rich menu, with breakfast, lunch and dinner items made to order for each customer. All açaí bowls and smoothies do not contain ingredient fillers such as ice, frozen yogurt, added sugar or artificial preservatives, giving the purest taste possible.

The menu features a variety of options, such as the Energy Bowl (with organic açaí, goji berries and bee pollen), the Dragon Bowl (featuring organic pitaya, coconut milk and bananas) and their signature Vitality Bowl (with organic açaí, strawberries and honey). Additionally, the brand recently announced exclusive additions to their kids menu. Plus, fresh juices, soups, panini and salads are available in each café.

Organic cold brew nitrogen-poured coffee and organic kombucha are also available on-tap.

“Simply put, we created Vitality Bowls to be a place where health-conscious individuals can go for a nutritional meal,” said Tara Gilad, founder and owner of Vitality Bowls. “We believe that healthy food can be an option for fast casual food and we are excited to have Anil and his partners on board with this. We look forward to seeing them grow their business in Sunnyvale and sharing the Vitality Bowls message with the community.”

Since launching in 2011, the brand has ignited significant growth. In 2014, the concept began franchising and now has nearly 70 locations open and in development across the country.

About Vitality Bowls

Roy and Tara Gilad, a pair of successful business owners, founded Vitality Bowls in 2011 in San Ramon, California. The duo started the superfood café concept together as a result of discovering their daughter’s severe food allergies and wanting to find safe, healthy food alternatives. Since franchising began in 2014, the brand has seen significant growth with more than 70 cafes open and in development. Named one the Top 100 new franchises in 2017 by Entrepreneur, Vitality Bowls is redefining the fast casual healthy food restaurant sector every day at each of its locations across the country.
