I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, but there were definitely no left overs. This is a small shop with very friendly staff. You order at a counter.

HOLMDEL: eating healthy somehow tastes like a treat here. Playa Bowls has Jersey Shore roots but…read morehas grown into a nationwide favorite and it is easy to see why. We stopped by the Playa Bowls location thanks to a Yelp New Jersey Elite Squad New Jersey event and got to try a complimentary bowl. The menu is impressively expansive and while they are known for their classic acai and pitaya (dragon fruit) bases, they have branched out with options like mango, banana, coconut, and green blends, so there is truly something for every craving. Each bowl is loaded with fresh fruit and finished with many toppings. The Mango Power Bowl is a standout with mango vanilla protein, granola, banana, and peanut butter. It leans dessert, but fuels like a meal. Sweet, satisfying, and seriously filling. Inside, the tropical vibe makes it easy to kick back and stay awhile. Outside, leashed and friendly dogs are welcome at the picnic tables, making it a great stop for you and your pup. As always, check with your local Playa Bowls for their specific outdoor dog friendly setup.

After wandering around the beach and boardwalk at Asbury Park, sometimes you need to cool off…read more Tucked inside the Asbury Park Convention Hall (right near the entrance) is Betty's Icebox (they also have a truck on the other side of the building in the food truck area). Betty's has several cool confections like ice pops and (my favorite) shaved ice! They also have fresh popped popcorn (complete with olive oil and seasonings). Betty's is a small shop with a long counter where you order and where the staff is stationed. The other side has a small counter space but it's mostly taken up by products like candy. Seating is mostly set up outside the shop in a partly fenced off area. On this particular visit I picked up some popcorn and seasoned it with olive oil and garlic salt. It was really yummy and man, you really can't beat fresh popped! The feature item for me was the shaved ice which is freshly made to order. I ordered a lime and watermelon flavor combination. I am trying to watch my sugar intake so I ordered a small but *holy cow* the thing was *huge*! It was easily enough for two people to share and it made for a beautiful serving. The shaved ice is served in a cup that then sits inside holes carved into the tables outside. It's a fantastic way to keep the treat stable without having to use a gigantic bowl. The watermelon/lime combination was delicious but it does get really sweet towards the bottom where the syrup condenses. No joke, you could easily take the remaining syrup and add it to a seltzer to make a soda! I really enjoyed Betty's and look forward to visiting again in the future!

Delicious vegan popsicles and goodies for the whole family!…read more Tucked in a frozen corner of the convention center you'll find Betty's Ice Box, and while the prices are boardwalk typical it's totally worth the splurge. Their refreshing popsicles and snowcones are just what you need on a hot beach day. The popsicles specifically have a very dense texture and a nice crunchy chew to them, just like I like. It's an easy choice if you want something cold that's not ice cream.

I was taken aback because it was unexpected and because of the odd behavior of just getting into our space and just standing and not saying anything right away. Didn't expect the person to leave the shop and come out to take the order because we were next in line and it wasn't a long line. Stomach hurts so not sure they follow hygienic protocols - just hope it's not food poisoning . The whole experience was strange and unfortunate because we enjoyed it the last time we were there. Still gave her a tip and maybe she's new and was just being a bit awkward- but perhaps she needs better employee training or help with her customer service.

Nothing says welcome spring then matcha and playa bowls…read more I was invited to the Yelp elite event at the Playa bowls in Old Bridge. Thank you Katarina for this opportunity! Being a Jersey Girl means having a lot of points a Playa, so I felt right at home. I was excited to try their matcha bowl, it is different than my usual go to order but 1000% worth the try. And of course, I couldn't leave without getting a green juice. This Playa location had ample space for seating as well as the fireplace. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, and even offered recommendations for what to match with the matcha bowl. You will definitely see me back here as the sun comes out and the weather becomes warmer!!
