Our story

Meet the Couple

We first opened our doors in Myrtle Beach in May 2019. We started as a couple with a shared love of açaí berry, and that passion became Acai Couples. Today we’re married and still run it together. Our journey began after visiting a beautiful cafe on the West Coast, where we fell in love with the incredible health benefits and potential of the açaí berry.

Today, we serve the Grand Strand with açaí made pure and simple: Grade A Especial organic açaí, the top grade of açaí, wild-harvested in the Amazon and certified organic. To ensure the absolute best nutrition and taste, we craft our signature bowl blends using only natural, plant-based ingredients with no fillers.

At Acai Couples, we believe food has a unique power to unite people. Seeing our community smile, laugh, and find joy in a healthy meal is what drives us every day. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, we invite you to experience the best açaí in Myrtle Beach.

Meet Açai

Born in October 2019, Açai graduated with a bachelor’s degree in easygoingness from the University of Life. With the calmest and sweetest attitude, he became the foundation for our peace of mind. While we manage Acai Couples, he takes care of housework and rests at home. We love both Açai, the cat, and the fruit.
