The Good Stuff
No Added Sugar
One long-time customer says the açaí blends are organic, fresh and made without added sugar.
Granola
The homemade walnut granola is praised as a favourite, with a taste compared to homemade granola.
Healthy Options
Customers mention fresh, healthy bowls as well as filling alternatives such as the Salmon Surfer and Olimpico Greek Salad.
Coffee
Coffee is another notable order, with one review calling it amazing alongside the açaí bowls.
Welcoming Atmosphere
The small shop is described as cozy, clean and relaxed, with Brazilian or Portuguese music adding to the atmosphere.
Quick Takeaway
A takeaway order was prepared quickly and ready on time, making the branch convenient for an easy pickup.
Helpful Guidance
A first-time customer was guided through the top-rated dishes, useful if you are unfamiliar with açaí.
Tips for a Better Visit
Takeaway First. Choose takeaway or delivery if seating matters: the Motor City shop has only a couple of tables.
Try Peanut Bomba. For a proven customer favourite, order the Peanut Bomba açaí bowl, described as an especially strong combination.
Ask For Guidance. If it is your first açaí order, ask the team to explain the options and recommend popular dishes.
Check Loyalty. Ask about the loyalty points system; one customer redeemed enough points for a free large açaí.
Consider Parking. Drivers may find access convenient, as one customer specifically reported easy parking.
Check Texture. If your bowl arrives unusually runny, ask about the consistency before settling in, since one customer received a smoothie-like bowl.

Common Concerns
Limited Seating
The shop has only a few tables, so dine-in space is limited and takeaway or delivery may be easier.
Higher Pricing
Several reviews describe the açaí as a little pricey compared with other spots, though they felt the quality justified it.
Poor Matcha
One customer received matcha with unmixed clumps and rated the drink very poorly.
Tapioca Crepes
A review found the tapioca crepes lacking in taste, so they may be a less reliable choice than the bowls.
Texture Inconsistency
One visit produced an açaí bowl with a smoothie-like consistency rather than the expected thick texture.

The Bottom Line
Projeto Açaí is a compact açaí shop in Motor City that works well for a healthy snack, a quick breakfast-style stop or takeaway. Customers return for fresh fruit and açaí bowls, especially the Peanut Bomba and the signature Zuzu, while smoothies and coffee give you alternatives when you want something lighter or less bowl-focused. There is more than açaí on the menu.
Reviews mention the Salmon Surfer, Olimpico Greek Salad, avo toast with walnut and feta, and homemade walnut granola. The food is often described as fresh and generously portioned, and the cozy Brazilian feel is helped by background music and a welcoming atmosphere. The main practical drawback is space: this is a tiny shop with only a few tables, and one reviewer called it mainly delivery-focused.
Takeaway may be the smoother choice if you are visiting with a group. Parking was described as easy by one customer. Pricing is a little higher than some other açaí spots, although a long-time customer felt the ingredients justified it and praised the loyalty points system.
There are a couple of cautions. One review reported badly clumped matcha, another found the tapioca crepes bland, and one açaí bowl arrived much thinner than usual. For a first visit, ask for help choosing a bowl and check the texture if it looks unusually runny.
