Popular Manchester cafe Açai & The Tribe is to open in Altrincham town centre.
The fast-growing brand will be opening in the former Scissor's Edge salon unit on Shaw's Road, next door to Rigatoni's.
The opening will mark its third location in a growing portfolio, having originally opened in the Arndale Market in 2021 before relocating to Deansgate in Manchester city centre in 2022.
It is also due to open in Chelsea, in London, in May.
Founded by Alisha Oswell and her partner Connor, Açai & The Tribe was inspired by the couple's travels abroad during Connor's previous career as a pilot.
It was during these journeys that they discovered and fell in love with açai bowls, the nutritious Brazilian breakfast dish that would later become their signature offering.
Their all-day healthy eating concept offers a wide range of nutritious options, including seasonal brunch and lunch selections, and superfood smoothies like the Pink Tribe (strawberries, banana, dates, almond butter, and almond milk) and Protein Greens (vanilla protein, matcha, spinach, avocado, pineapple, and coconut milk).
Açai & The Tribe will also offer topped sourdough options, grilled sandwiches and specialty coffees, matcha and chai.
Their signature Classic Açai Bowl blends organic açai berries with bananas and almond milk, frozen before being topped with homemade vanilla granola, frozen raspberries, banana and almond butter.
The menu caters to various dietary requirements with 90% of options being vegan and gluten-free.
At the heart of their offering is the açai berry (pronounced "ah-sigh-ee"), a superfood harvested from the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil.
These berries contain 10-30 times more antioxidants than grapes, pomegranates or blueberries, and are high in many other vitamins and nutrients.
Açai & The Tribe describes its Manchester location as a space "where you can enjoy the benefits of the Brazilian açai berry, chill out, catch up on some work, and chat with a friend over a latte".
The opening date for the Altrincham location will be announced in the coming weeks.
