A hit brunch spot that has only been open for nine months has moved to a bigger location after a great start to business.
Another Bowl moved to St Peter's Street in Ipswich last Saturday, having formerly been found at the TruGym in Ranelagh Road.
Now, owner Chloe Dozzell has reflected on the madness of the first few days.
"Opening day was insane," she said.
"I was really not prepared - we had nearly 150 people come through the door in four hours.
"I had to start turning people away due to such long wait times!
"I'm just super happy that people came out to support my little business."

Another Bowl opened at TruGym in May 2023 and was extremely busy until September, when Ms Dozzell had an opportunity to think about the future of the business.
She said: "My vision was always to have a place of my own, somewhere that people could come in, feel comfortable, and enjoy healthy food in beautiful surroundings.
"We realised quite quickly that most of our customers weren't using the gym, which was a great location to start because we serve healthy food.
"It seems like the whole of Ipswich wanted healthy food!"

Acai bowls are the top sellers for the business, with very few - if any - other places around Suffolk offering the same breakfast option.
The decision to move to St Peter's Street has been in the pipeline since last September, with Ms Dozzell started looking for premises on the Ipswich road known for its independent shops and cafes.
The new space created the opportunity to offer hot food as well, with space for diners to eat in, unlike the takeaway offer at the gym location.
"It is scary moving the business," reflected Ms Dozzell.
"But we haven't been open long and we are growing so quickly.
"I think it will accelerate more!"
Another Bowl is currently open seven days a week, from 9am to 3pm.
