Stopped by after I went to pilates Sunday morning down the road from here in Crabapple, and it was the perfect post-pilates treat! I typically go for their Green or Dolce smoothie, and I always add vanilla protein, but their new "protein cloud" menu caught my eye and I decided to try the stunning Tidal Wave Smoothie featuring their playa coconut blend, banana, pineapple, vanilla protein, blue spirulina, coconut milk, and coco whip. It was absolutely delicious and a nice change from my usual order! The best part? It has 31g of protein in it! I will definitely order this again before this special menu disappears. There is a decent amount of seating indoors and the decor is so fun and tropical that you can't help but feel a little lighter leaving there! Staff has always been super lovely and attentive. read more

Needed a light bite mid afternoon and decided to give this spot a try. Great location in Milton area. Very clean and pleasantly greeted by staff. Lots of places to sit and dine inside or outside. My bowl was cool and refreshed and enjoyable. read more

I am still trying to figure out the acai bowl trend and Playa did not influence my decision to possibly seek it put again. Cute island motif and families were enjoying their bowls on the patio. Plenty of free parking . Staff were friendly but I had to ask them to change their gloves prior to stay order. They obliged but that creeps me out when it is not automatic. Yuck... My banana acai bowl was refreshing on a warm day, would not seek it out again though. Not worth the calories or sugar content. read more

It's in a lovely neighborhood of Milton crabapple market. Huge covered parking lot area plus massive number of parking lots. It was awesome weather to sit outside and enjoy the fresh and healthy Acai bowl. Super cool place !! read more

We've been loyal Playa Bowls customers for years--easily spending $50+ a week at the Alpharetta, Crabapple, and Halcyon locations, as well as others like 30A when vacationing in Rosemary Beach. Unfortunately, today was the first time we've ever experienced something this disappointing. We ordered a bowl to-go with paid add-ons like extra granola and almond butter. What we received was noticeably smaller than usual and missing key ingredients. When Carita politely asked if it could be corrected, the manager on duty, Jasmine, rolled her eyes, aggressively threw the bowl in the trash, and accused her of being rude--simply for requesting the order be made correctly. Carita entered with a warm smile and was met with hostility and unnecessary escalation. Jasmine's behavior was not only unprofessional--it was outright disrespectful and completely unacceptable from someone in a leadership role. Thankfully, Meredith stepped in and handled the situation with grace and kindness. She remade the bowl the right way and treated us with the respect we've come to expect from Playa Bowls. Management should seriously reconsider Jasmine's role. If this is how she treats customers, one can only wonder how she treats her coworkers behind the scenes. read more

I've been told this place has the best açaí bowls in all of Metro Atlanta so I had to come check it out for myself. I looked at the menu and found the options really abundant and thorough. I finally settled on the Stupid Cupid bowl. The stupid Cupid blend consists of strawberry, banana and coconut milk topped with blueberry flax granola, strawberry, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, Nutella and white chocolate. Let me start by saying the toppings were delicious!! Literally perfect. I'm drooling thinking about the toppings as I write this. However, the stupid cupid blend itself was a massive miss. It literally tasted like nothing. Sooooo bland. I'm not certain if in general the bases are bland because they expect the toppings to carry the entire bowl or if just my particular blend was a miss. I will return again to try the açaí base to see if the bases are consistently weak or not. read more

I've never had an açaí bowl before, and playa bowls has definitely set the standard super high now! Very casual beach vibes ambiance, and the staff were super friendly. Each bowl is handmade fresh to order, and I could really taste the freshness of all the ingredients. We tried the pura vida bowl, because sometimes the simplest ingredients create the best dishes and the pura vida was a winner. The strawberry and blueberry gave a slight tang that was balanced with the lightning drizzle, and the açaí shaved ice tied it all together. Definitely recommend as a great dessert or even as healthy snack! read more

Loved this location!! I've only been to 2 other locations since moving to GA. But this place really nailed their pitaya here. I am obsessed! Parking: it's a shared parking lot in a plaza with other businesses but I did not have any issues finding any parking close by Service: we were greeted upon entering and had a chance to review the menu before placing an order without feeling pressured or rush Food: I ordered the dragonberry pittaya bowl with coconut flakes and almond butter added 10/10!!! The pitaya was SO good. And I'm obsessed with pitaya everything. Highly recommend asking them to put granola at the very bottom so you still have some toppings to eat when you've finished the top part lol My husband got the steel cut oatmeal bowl with strawberry, banana, coconut, and Nutella. I'm pretty sure my kids ate it for him but they devoured it! He is an oatmeal finatic. Ambiance is casual with beach vibes music. Makes me feel like I'm back at home in Venice beach boardwalk enjoying Ana açaí bowl on the beach. read more

Great customer service with the people behind the bar. The lady in front of me had A TON of questions and the girl helping her was really patient with her and answered every single question. I got the Pura Vida Açaí bowl. It is sooo good. I stopped in during my lunch and it definitely filled me up for the day. There's not that much seating space. There wasn't that many people there during my lunch but I can see it getting pretty busy and not having enough places to seat. The music is kinda loud in here. I couldn't really concentrate on what I needed to do during my lunch but I'm not sure if that's the vibe for all the Playa Bowls?? read more

I really love this place--I've had trouble finding a good DIY acai bowl ever since I moved from a beachy state, and this really satisfied that craving when I needed it. The shop itself is quite spacious and well kept, and I love the bright and cheery decor. The acai bowl was basically everything I wanted, heaping with fresh fruits and great flavor. I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the area. read more

Came in to grab a bowl for my teenager. She was thrilled as usual with the bowl. I needed to use the restroom facility while we waited for her bowl. It was disgusting. It reminded me of a college bar at 2AM gross. Please do better. read more

We checked out the Playa Bowls in downtown Crabapple and it didn't disappoint! I got the Nica Bowl, which has bananas as the base and granola, bananas, strawberries and peanut butter on top. The perfect combo! I also had them add some Nutella drizzle. It's spacious and cute inside. They have tables, a bar seating area, and also a lounge space by a fireplace. We sat on the patio, which is a bit small, but we were able to snag a seat. The girl who took our order was patient with us as we made our flavor decisions and friendly with my son. The bowls turned out great and we have already been back several times for more! read more

Playa Bowls needs to be your number one spot if you are looking for açaí bowls, smoothies, juices or other fruit-based food options! This location has been open for about a month now and I am so happy that another location opened up so close to me! This location is a lot bigger than some of the others ones I have been to. It even has a patio! My two favorite things about PB are the toppings and the variety of options available! No matter what you order here, they will never be skimpy on the toppings. Every time I get my order I always wonder how they can fit so many pieces of fruit in one bowl and make it look so pretty and appetizing! I also love how they offer different bases for their bowls and always have seasonal specials available. There is something for everyone here! My go-to bowl is the pitaya bowl. I love the way the pitaya tastes! I like to order the Nutaya Playa Bowl one because it comes with blueberries, bananas, chocolate nibs, and Nutella! I always substitute the coconut flakes for strawberries and I love how they don't charge for substitutions. You definitely need to check out this new location if you are near the Alpharetta/Crabapple area! read more

This is the 4th time I have come 30+ min before the closing time and the store is closed. Online it says it's opened but I had to drive by to see it was closed at 8:23pm. I don't understand why they are closing if it says 9pm. This is not due to the holidays! It's been a pattern since November. I have been before at 8:45 when they were open so why some days?? It's my favorite dessert and these evenings keep getting ruined! ): read more

I've loved playa bowls since my first visit at a different location a couple of years ago. Happy to report this location was no exception to the dreamy beachy vibe I've come to know and love. The music in there was LOUD and their system to pick up your order is to say your name but honestly you can't hear anything over the music. There is plenty of parking right behind the building and a cute courtyard for outdoor seating. I already knew what I was ordering so I went straight up to the counter to order and pay. I got my usual stupid cupid bowl which is one of their special bowls. Strawberries, coconut, Nutella, white chocolate, cocoa nibs on top of a strawberry, banana, and coconut base. It is delightful. I will say this one was less full than any I've ever gotten at a different location. I also asked for the Nutella and white chocolate to be placed underneath the fruit as I was taking it home but they made it regular anyway. My husband got the aloha smoothie. I had a sip and it wasn't as flavorful as we have had it at other locations but it was still good. This location is very conveniently located to my house so I'll definitely be back. Don't get me wrong, the bowl & smoothie were still good - just not sure this will be my favorite location. read more

Playa Bowls - My favorite order - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

My 3 daughters love this place. They go 3 to 4 times a week. The bowls are good, and the service is NOT! This is the second bad experience I've had at this location The first time, 1 let it go. Upon my arrival to Playa Bowls, there were three high school girls at the back counter talking to their friends. It took them 10 minutes for them to realize. I was standing there before they took my order. Today, I had a second bad experience. I arrived with my daughter at 08:10pm. There were three girls at the back counter, one table with two customers eating their bowl, one customer waiting on their order, and one customer in front of me. I placed an order for three bowls, paid, and gave them a tip. Within a couple of minutes, a line of ten people were behind me. The other customers were getting their orders before me, but I figured they had called ahead. My daughter told me they all had placed their order after us. At 08:50, I stood up and told Sophia, the girl at the counter, that I had been waiting for 35 minutes for my order. She had no idea and no clue. She asked me for my name, and one of the other girls went to the fridge and took out my order, and gave it to me. They did not bother to apologize for their mistake. The worst part was that I had to go to get a boba drink 10 minutes away. By the time I arrived at the boba place, they had closed They have to hire serious workers and not clueless high schoolers who spend their time talking to their friends instead of taking care of customers or forgetting their customers' orders, having them wait 35 minutes. They lost my business, my daughter's business, and I will stop recomeding them to my friends and clients. We're taking our business to another location. read more
