Move over smoothie bowls. Superfood spots have some new competition on the block. Welcome, Boom Chia to Montclair. Boom Chia of 427 Bloomfield Avenue recently had their grand opening on February 26th. Boom Chia has a focus on the “next generation of superfoods” offering a selection of health food bowls such as açaí, papaya, and their specialty - chia pudding!
At this health food cafe, you can get the fast from fast food, without the guilt. Boom Chia has a fast casual, to go style - similar to that of other superfood/smoothie bowl shops in the area. You can get a vitamin and nutrients packed meal without the hassle. The cafe also offers other options for those not looking for a full meal such as cold brew, smoothies, kombucha for those probiotics, and superfood packed snacks. You can have Boom Chia for any meal, and you can even substitute it as a sweet treat for dessert!

To create your bowl first pick between a plethora of superfood bases, and of course top that off with a selection of their chia puddings. After choosing your fighter you can top it off with unlimited toppings! I like to go for some fruits (strawberries and bananas), dark chocolate granola, cacao nibs, toasted coconut, and almond butter. For a beautiful looking bowl, try lining up some açaí and blue coconut base - it looks like a tropical ocean!
Something super cool about this establishment is that they are “one price fits all”, meaning as long as it fits in the bowl, they don’t charge extra. This allows you to truly customize your bowl with new combinations of bases and toppings you may not have tried before.
While there are many health food cafes in the area, you can truly sense that Boom Chia focuses on wholesome ingredients. The space feels clean and crisp aligning with the cleanliness of their healthy menu. Stop by Boom Chia and welcome our new “super” food neighbors to the area!
