Playa Bowls

I rarely write negative reviews, but my experience with the playa bowls was truly disappointing. For $15, I expected a fresh, refreshing meal, but I ended up throwing away more than half of it. Watery and messy.

Playa Bowls is a chain restaurant that offers fresh açaí, fruit, granola bowls, variety of smoothies and fresh juices. The one which we have visited was across from Ronkonkoma train station. It’s brand new since the area is under construction and offers lots of new apartments, restaurants and bars. The restaurant has coastal decor and is very clean. We only went there few times because my daughter liked the fresh fruit bowls and smoothies. Prices were higher than the ones in Florida, but that’s expected. The place was not busy at all, even though it was the middle of the summer and places like this make a great spot for summer treat, since the fruit is partially frozen. Portions are decent and can be placed in the freezer if not consumed at once. I would probably not make this my go to pla

I like the fact that there is a Poke Bowl spot over here. I love the salmon poke bowl made custom to your likings, everything was fresh and delicious, they also carry my Taro Bubble tea which is a good option when I don’t want coffee some days. The staff working was friendly and knowledge and gave me great sauce suggestions. My lunch was fresh and amazing. Matt the owner is amazing he’s the reason why I was so eager to check it out, he’s very hospitable and friendly, glad I checked it out. I will back soon to try the hibachi.

Ordered online to have ready for 11:15, drove 20 minutes to get there just to be told they actually aren’t going to open today. Girl was dressed in full uniform and the store had been open, but she couldn’t just make my order? Nope. Instead she refunded me and I left empty handed.

I always order an acai bowl here and honestly, it's always good- refreshing, and stacked with fresh fruit that tasted amazing. But the real highlight is Reann! She's always so sweet, patient, and makes the whole experience feel personal. So yeah, the food is good, but Reann is the reason I always come back. She is a wonderful asset to the company.
