Customer Reviews

★★★★☆ 4.0 Your Fav Reviewer · Feb 2026

Playa Bowls is a solid option when you’re craving something fresh and lighter. The bowls are flavorful, and the toppings are usually fresh. The açaí base is good, though consistency can vary slightly depending on who’s making it. The space is small and can get busy, especially during peak hours. Service is generally fine — not overly engaging, but efficient enough to keep things moving. It is on the pricier side for what you’re getting, but it’s still a convenient and reliable choice for a quick, healthy treat.

I came to Playa Bowls and had the best experience! Christiana and Hanielle took my order and were both so friendly and welcoming. I got the Bae Bowl 2.0, and wow… it was phenomenal 🤩 Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. I enjoyed it so, so much. I highly recommend trying it, and definitely come by when they’re here—you won’t regret it!

From the moment you walk in, the air is filled with a refreshing fruity scent. I’m delighted to have such a high-quality smoothie shop nearby. Their smoothies are simply delightful, with a naturally sweet taste that’s a bit more subtle because no syrup is added.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rashona Banks · Dec 2025

I love playa bowls, I actually have a pretty bad fixation on this place because of how good it is. Every location I've been to thus far always has great service and an even better atmosphere. I love the acai bowls especially the Pura Vida!

★★★★★ 5.0 Mary Massoumi · Jun 2025

They offer a variety of açai bowls, not just for breakfast. You can come anytime. We enjoy coming here with our family. They have açai balls, smoothies, and juices. My daughter is the biggest fan of this place, so we come here more often.
