About Miki Bowls
Miki Bowls is an açaí and fruit shop at 1633 Spring Garden Street in Greensboro, calling itself Greensboro's number one fruit shop and building its menu on real, hand-cut fruit prepared at peak ripeness rather than pre-cut or processed fruit. The açaí bowls run from a build-your-own option with up to five toppings and two drizzles to house combinations: The OG with granola, strawberry, mango, blueberry and honey drizzle; Tropical with pineapple, mango, strawberry and kiwi; Maui with pineapple, strawberry, coconut and chia seeds; New to the Island; Chefs Kiss with condensed milk and Nutella; The Dirty Monkey with banana and cacao nibs; and Miki Matcha, built on a matcha tea base instead of açaí. Smoothies are $7.75 across the board and include It's Green with kale, Blue Crush with blue spirulina and coconut whipped cream, Waikiki, Slim Thick, Strawberry+Banana and #Sweetlife, which is blended with sea moss. A wildcrafted sea moss line is sold in elderberry, strawberry, pineapple ginger, lime and açaí, alongside sea moss gel and branded merchandise. Miki Bowls runs three ways at once: the Spring Garden Street shop, a food truck that moves around the city, and catering for private events.
Miki Bowls started with a cooler. Simone Lacewell was a Business Management and Entrepreneurship major at North Carolina A&T State University when she ran into a plain problem: there was almost no fresh fruit or healthy food on the east side of Greensboro or on campus, and plenty of students had no car to go looking for any. Originally from Ashburn, Virginia, and by her own description a health freak who had been starting ventures since she was thirteen, she decided to solve it herself. In September 2019 she began hand-cutting watermelon, kiwi and strawberries before class each morning, loading them into a cooler, and pushing that cooler across the A&T campus to deliver fruit bowls to her classmates. Demand outgrew the cooler. Backed by family and friends, she launched the Miki Bowls food truck in September 2021, taking the bowls out to neighbourhoods, gyms, corporate sites and events across the Triad — the truck still runs, and can be booked for parties, weddings, school and staff events. In late 2025, after community crowdfunding campaigns, she opened a permanent storefront at 1633 Spring Garden Street, Suite A — a short walk from the campus where the whole thing began — with A&T and UNCG students turning out for the opening. Tabitha Brown has since visited and featured the shop. Six years on from a cooler pushed between classes, Miki Bowls runs as a storefront, a food truck and a catering operation, and calls itself Greensboro's number one fruit shop.
