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.

They were hard and I tried to microwave them but that did not help.

Staff is nice but definitely needs some improvement

We had the cheeseburger, crab Rangoon, and buffalo chicken eggrolls and I have to say my favorite with the buffalo chicken. Such a unique fusion of flavors and I heard they have over 20 at their actual store. I know how hard it is to get a spot at an event as a food truck, so I'm glad I got to see them at the Dragon Boat Festival this time.

Got 3 orders of egg rolls (1 order is 2 rolls). Got crab Rangoon, shrimp and taco. The best was the…read morecrab Rangoon. Everything was piping hot and freshly made. Shrimp one comes with a peanut sauce and was okay mostly veggies and contained 2 shrimps. Taco one was spicy so I didn't like that one and comes with ranch. The best was the crab Rangoon one. Comes with duck sauce and I'm not usually a crab Rangoon person but I would go back just for these Staff was nice but took a while to get the order done. Didn't try their boba but had a wide range of options. Inside is cute and has seating. Whoever makes the handwriting has great penmanship and super cute. It's street parking but not too bad to find a spot.

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! Vivien, the chef, makes everything! I got the most delectable crêpes, which were huge and delicious. 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!

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.
