Playa Bowls

When you first walk in, it can be a little confusing to understand what this place is all about, so I’ll explain: They serve tropical-inspired bowls with all sorts of fresh, customizable choices — like açaí, pitaya (dragon fruit), coconut, kale, banana, etc. — that you select as the frozen, smoothie-like base of your bowl. Then you top it with whatever you like — blueberries, mangos, strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, granola, seeds, and drizzles like Nutella or peanut butter. Once I had one, I realized what I had been missing. I’ve always loved California-style clean eating, and this place was inspired by surf culture. These are healthy, vibrant bowls designed for a refreshing, nutrient-dense meal or snack. I work one block from Playa Bowls, so looking forward to my next stop!

Delicious açaí bowls with a great texture to the base. Fresh fruit toppings! Definitely pricey, but a fun stop downtown.

The “Lola” Green bowl was super delicious and refreshing! Friendly staff and are able to make small modifications to the fruit bowls. My wife and I also tried their organic steel cut oatmeal bowl. It was the bomb! Fresh fruit and organic. Highly recommend them!!! Perfect for the hot humid weather to cool down with one of their bowls!

This location is our favorite! Right down the road from Broadway & the only thing better that the açaí is the customer service. If you haven’t had playa bowls, you’re missing out!!

Really kind staff. I had a request to swap an ingredient I wasn’t thrilled about in a bowl and they did it! No questions. No charge. It’s also a really convenient location and the bowls are DELICIOUS! Not over the top sweet like some places.
