Our cupuaçu blend is here to shake things up. Are you ready to taste this flavor-packed bowl?
Straight from the Brazilian Amazon, Cupuaçu (pronounced koo-poo-ah-SOO) is a tropical fruit native to the Brazilian Amazon. It's part of the cacao family and loved across Brazil for its creamy texture and bright, tangy flavor.
Often described as a mix of pineapple and pear, cupuaçu is refreshingly unique and packed with natural goodness. While açaí brings a rich and earthy flavor, cupuaçu offers a lighter, more tropical twist. Just like our açaí, our cupuaçu is blended in house using our signature recipe.
Cupuaçu is becoming a new favorite in Brazil, and we’re proud to be one of the first cafes to bring this bold superfruit to our neighborhood in Pacific Beach, San Diego.
Insider tip: Your toppings will bring out different notes in the fruit.
Try it with blueberries to highlight its tart punch, add strawberries for a juicy balance, or make it a dessert with Nutella to bring out chocolatey notes and satisfy your sweet side.
It’s a favorite in smoothies, juices, and desserts across Brazil, and it’s now available in a cupuaçu bowl or cup right here at The American Açaí Cafe.
We’re also offering split bowls, combining both açaí and cupuaçu for a taste of Brazil’s top superfruits in one bowl.
