Stopped by Playa Bowls in a newer shopping center next to the gym, which makes perfect sense for…read morethis kind of spot. Outside was super clean, and the inside had a really cool vibe and atmosphere. The menu was surprisingly extensive with lots of different options, especially if you want something other than a standard açaí base. They had mango, coconut, and several other base choices that made it feel a little more unique than most bowl places. The cashier was super friendly and helpful with recommendations. I ended up getting the seasonal Mermaid Mood Bowl. I wasn't a huge fan of the Nutella option on it, but they were very accommodating with substitutions and recommended swapping it out for peanut butter instead, which worked really well with the bowl. I do have to say, I agree with another review that the base is definitely icy/watery, kinda weird. Overall, pretty solid bowl for the price. Good portion size, fresh ingredients, and a nice balance overall. The Mermaid Mood Bowl was good for the most part, and overall this feels like a spot I'll come back to again 4.3/5

For the price I expect consistency between different chains. I've ate at playa all throughout college and this is the first bowl I've had that is so disappointing. It was extra sweet and the base is not how it usually is. Staff is nice though.

I was really excited to try this place when I saw their drinks, but unfortunately I feel…read moredisappointed. While it's pretty, the Cherry Vanilla Matcha Latte had little to no matcha flavor. The drink just tastes like cherry water to me. The Banana Bread Latte actually tastes like banana bread, idk what I was expecting it to taste like. I usually like my coffee still a little bitter but this is definitely too bitter for my liking, I added a little creamer to it when I got home. The person that took my order seemed nice though. They have free stickers next to where you order. It was pretty busy on a Saturday morning.

Staff is nice but definitely needs some improvement

The wrap was very fresh and well but together with a good amount of tuna. The greens very fresh but the feta and olives did not make it.

This time, I got a passion fruit refresher and the salmon salad. The refresher was good not my favorite aftertaste, but that could just be me. I asked for the avocado dressing on the salad, but when they brought it out, they told me they were out so I ended up with ranch. Luckily, the salad itself was really good and super filling. The staff has been friendly and attentive both times I've gone. Also, the setup inside is really cute as there's a nice chair arrangement and even a swing for photo ops. It wasn't too busy, so we didn't wait long at all. Overall, good vibes and good food. I'll definitely be back.

Sandro and his wife Vivien are extremely accommodating, friendly, and work well together, bending over backwards to make sure my daughter and I were pleased. The food is amazing!

The chicken with cilantro and turkey crêpes were so flavorful, and the crepes themselves were delicate and tender. And the Nutella crêpe with strawberries? They sent me to the moon! My daughter felt the same way. If I could, I would return every week and try the Açài bowls as well! Pura Vida is not to be missed! Five stars!
