Acaí has been a staple bougie food in america for at least twenty years. I suspect you can find it in every major city in america.

I was under the impression that it's different in south america, it can be savoury sometimes?
Yeah the people living in the Amazon, where açaí is from, eat it with fried fish and they call the açaí bowl "sorvete de açaí", açaí icecream
Not that I know of. However, the “slurpie” style with fruit/granola from Rio that went out to the world, is good but the smooth version from the North with tapioca is better. Almost like a light pudding.
