Austropical
Our story

From the Amazon to your day

Austropical is the açaí brand, and our shops on the Pacific Highway are where you taste it straight from the source.

The brand behind the bowl

We supply the açaí. Then we serve it ourselves.

Austropical supplies premium Grade A organic açaí, superfruit sorbets, smoothie cubes and ice pops to cafes around Australia from our base in Banksmeadow. Most people meet our açaí in somebody else's bowl. Chatswood and St Leonards are the counters where the brand makes it for you, the way it should be made: thick, deep purple and piled high.

Our whole idea is simple. Healthy choices should never mean compromising on taste or convenience, so the snack that is good for you should also be the one you actually want.

What Grade A means

Not all açaí is the same purple

Açaí is graded on how much fruit pulp is in the blend. Grade A is the richest, the deep colour and full berry flavour, with nothing to water it down.

Premium Grade A

Sourced from the Amazon rainforest. Authentic deep purple colour, rich berry flavour and the antioxidant load that made açaí famous in the first place.

Certified organic, twice

Certified by USDA in the United States and by ACO, Australian Certified Organic, at home. Vegan, Kosher, gluten free and non GMO across the range.

Zero added sugar, if you want it

Our zero sugar açaí keeps the naturally occurring antioxidants and the real taste. Ask for it as the base of any bowl in the shop.

Good for you, and not at the planet's expense

Sustainability is a guiding principle for Austropical, with a focus on biodiversity and ecosystem conservation. Two partnerships put money where the fruit comes from.

Great Barrier Reef Foundation

Supporting coral restoration and regeneration projects on a reef that is home to thousands of marine species.

Black Jaguar Foundation

Reforesting degraded areas of the Amazon rainforest and the Cerrado Savanna in Brazil, the world's largest tropical rainforest and a critical carbon sink.

A cafe that runs on açaí hours

The most ordered thing on the board is Build Your Bowl, which tells you something. People here know exactly what they want in their açaí.

Made to order

Poured fresh, every single bowl

Nothing sits waiting under a heat lamp or in a fridge. Every bowl, cup and cone is poured when you order it, then topped by hand with the fruit, crunch and drizzle you picked.

That is also why your bowl will never look exactly like the photo. It is made by a person, for you, on the spot.
