AO Bowl, a new fast casual café, is now open in New York’s East Village. The Japanese-inspired AO BowlI is the first-ever cafe in the U.S. to offer vacuum-pressed smoothies and juice made on premise. AO is using Blendtec technology, which prevents the oxidation of fruits and vegetables, to retain over 90% juice compared to about 60-70% in standard juicing. Vacuum blending also removes the air from ingredients within the blender, allowing juices to retain the majority of their original vitamin and mineral content.

AO Bowl will leverage the capabilities of Blendtec technology to serve signature smoothies like Orange Ginger Spice with Ceylon cinnamon and Matcha Coconut with cold brew Matcha. The plant-based menu with keto and paleo-friendly options features locally sourced or homegrown items including oat milk, bean sprouts, acai, granola, and market bowls like Adzuki Rice with Kombu and Grilled Pineapple Yams.
AO Bowl is located at 82 St Marks Pl, New York, NY 10003 (646) 682-9100
