The Good Stuff
Fresh Toppings
Fruit, homemade nut butters and walnut granola are standout toppings, especially the strawberries and mango.
Poke Bowls
The poke bowls are praised for fresh ingredients and balanced sweet, sour, savoury and mildly spicy flavours.
Breakfast Spot
Breakfast is a regular draw, with customers returning for bowls, toast and tapioca-based dishes.
Fast Service
Several reviews describe the service as friendly and quick, including during food and takeaway visits.
Dietary Help
Staff are reported to take allergies and personal preferences seriously and help adjust orders.
Delivery Care
Delivery reviews mention prompt arrival, generous toppings and careful packing that keeps orders in good condition.
Laptop Friendly
One customer regularly uses the cafe for Saturday breakfast while bringing a laptop to plan and work.
Tips for a Better Visit
Avoid Peak. For a smoother Saturday breakfast, consider visiting outside the busy Saturday-morning period.
Check Parking. If driving, look for the RTA parking beside the road rather than assuming a nearby space will be easy to find.
Customise Order. A returning customer orders Zuzu Curaçao with banana replaced by mango, a useful combination to ask about.
Choose Dine-In. If you are nearby, dine in when possible: one regular found it noticeably better than a delivery order.
Ask Adjustments. Mention allergies and preferences when ordering; reviews say the team tries to adapt food accordingly.
Set Expectations. Come primarily for açaí and drinks if authentic Brazilian flavours are your priority, as two savoury dishes disappointed one reviewer.

The Bottom Line
Projeto Açaí is a Dubai Marina cafe built around açaí bowls, but the menu goes beyond frozen fruit: customers also order poke bowls, tapioca pancakes, avocado toast, juices and breakfast dishes. The açaí is the clearest reason to visit. Reviews repeatedly mention a smooth texture, fresh fruit, generous toppings and homemade nut butters, with strawberries, mango, peanut butter and walnut granola getting particular attention.
The cafe suits a casual breakfast, light lunch or post-workout-style meal. One regular brings a laptop on Saturday mornings, while others return several times a week for bowls. Poke bowls have been praised for a balanced mix of sour, sweet, savoury and mild spice, and vegetarian options are available.
Delivery is described as prompt and carefully packed, though one regular preferred dine-in to delivery. There are a few things to keep in mind. Saturday mornings can slow down when the small cafe is busy, and parking is not especially easy; a reviewer suggests looking for RTA parking beside the road.
The matcha latte was called watery in one visit, and a separate review strongly criticised the lettuce, chicken and avocado in one order. If you want traditional Brazilian savoury food, keep expectations measured: the açaí and drinks appear to be the safer choices.
