Colorful acai bowl chain to open first San Antonio shop
Rush Bowls will make its San Antonio debut in 2026.
A fruity bowl café from Colorado will soon debut in San Antonio. Health-conscious chain Rush Bowls, known for açai bowls and smoothies, is opening a new snack shop at 14124 Culebra Rd. #114 on the Far West Side.
The Rush Bowls concept is similar to chains like Frutta Bowls and locally owned Rise Up. Its parfaits come in a rainbow of colors from the blue High Tide tinted with spirulina and blueberries to blush pink Choco Strawber with hemp granola.
Each bowl can be customized with a variety of add-ons like almond butter, pitaya, and frozen yogurt or amped up with various boosts that purport to help with immunity, energy, or debilitating hangovers. The milk bases cover a range of dietary preferences with choices like soy, almond, coconut, oat, and nonfat dairy.
In addition to the vivid, Instagram-worthy snacks, Rush serves smoothies, cold brews, and a pair of high-protein bites. There’s even a treat for pooches with banana, pumpkin, blueberry, and peanut butter.
According to the company bio, founder Andrew Pudalov abandoned New York City for Boulder, Colorado, to pursue a passion for health and wellness, opening the first Rush Bowls in 2004. The franchise currently has more than 50 restaurants across the U.S.
Rush’s first Texas shop opened in 2018 at Dallas’ Mockingbird Station. It rapidly expanded in North Texas, but has since shuttered all but one Dallas location. The chain also operates a single shop in Houston.
Rush has not revealed the opening timeline for its first Alamo City outpost, but a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation project listing estimates it will finish renovations by May 2026. State listings are subject to change and do not necessarily reflect opening dates. A request for more information was not returned by publication time.
