    The first menu, showing the Açaí, Green, Pitaya, and Banana bowls
    Fellman B.

    I was treated by Austin Runners Club to $15 to spend at Playa Bowls as a reward for volunteering at one of their races. (Austin Runners Club has a partnership with Playa Bowls and hence was able to sponsor the reward.) I had never been to Playa Bowls, so I was excited to try one of their smoothie bowls. I had run that morning and thought it would be a good recovery meal, with protein and carbohydrates. Their menu is extensive, making it hard to choose. All of the smoothies sound so good. They have seven categories of bowls: Açaí, Green, Pitaya, Mango, Coconut, Oatmeal and Special Bowls. There are 5-6 bowls within each category, and each of the bowls sound great! I ended up choosing the Green Power Bowl: Green blend with vanilla protein, topped with Granola, almond butter, and bananas. The green blend consists of kale, pineapple and coconut milk. I chose this because I am a big fan of green-based drinks for the not-so-sweet taste and health benefits. The smoothie bowl was so refreshing and delicious! I tried to eat slow and savor it. My friend ordered the Açaí-based Power Bowl: Playa Açaí with chocolate protein, topped with granola, banana and peanut butter. She has a banana allergy, so they substituted with strawberries. It looked delicious! I love the beach-themed decorations (playa is Spanish for "beach"). There is an explanation of how the New Jersey-based chain got started after having smoothies during a surfing trip in Hawaii. The staff is friendly and helpful. I will definitely have to go back and try some of the other bowls! I joined the Playa Bowl app, which entitles me to 15% off my next order, and subsequent rewards for purchases.

    Tide- Banana Bowl
    Megan Y.

    This was my first time trying Playa Bowls. I ate this right before a dental appointment which may have been wrong in hindsight, but I had a couple of mins to wait before going next door to Enamel, so I risked it for the biscuit. I got the tide banana bowl, and it was so refreshing & not too sweet! I wanna come back to try their other categories. I love the decor, the A/C was on pretty high - I get that it's hot outside but then you're also eating an ice cold dessert, so do with that opinion what you will.

    Electric Mermaid - Pitaya Bowl (half pitaya, half mango)
    Lina J.

    This is our favorite açai bowl place in Austin. I don't think we ever had a bad bowl. Everything is smooth and delicious. I love that they have various flavors - açai, Pattaya, banana, coconut, mango... And you can mix and match for your base. I usually get mango and pitaya. Always good service, delicious bowls, love going there.

    Açaí Bowls

    So good. Everything! We love this place and am so happy Helotes has a top notch smoothie bar, finally!! Highly recommend!

    This is such a hidden gem! Came here after a long day and their açaí bowl hit the spot. My partner and I got the Power Bowl and it was really yummy. It was refreshing and not annoyingly sweet like other açaís I've tasted at other restaurants. The staff who took our order was super sweet and did a good job at explaining the menu to us and offering recommendations. The place is also very beach themed with the painted sea/beach walls and surfboard looking tables. There's also some table games to play as well.

    one of my favorite places to go over the weekend, so many different options to choose from & the service is usually pretty quick. the place is so cute on the inside.

    This place is my new favorite spot I loved the oatmeal bowls on top of that the service is so great the girls attended me really quick and only took 5 minutes to get my order ready 10/10 experience LOVE IT!!

    Power- Acai Bowl with nutella
    Shreya G.

    I have been obsessed with Playa Bowls! My go to order is the power bowl with nutella and you can mix bases so I get half acai half green. The service is always quick and you can even order ahead on the app. Love the interior, it is super cute with beach decor and fun music.

    So glad this place exists. So many options to pick from! Usually places offer one bowl base and same toppings which get old. I have gone back several times and have always been amazing! I have only done pre orders on the app but my order is always done on time and staff has been friendly.

    Power bowl and pink power bowl
    Sarah S.

    Wow wow wow! Finally I've found my go to Acai bowl shop. The power bowl with an Acai base was excellent, but the pink power bowl was even better. I love the concept of having different bases (banana, coconut, mango, pitaya, Acai). It leaves you with plenty of options to keep coming back for something new. Well done PB - we will be back!

    Checked out this spot near my hotel when I was out visiting in Austin. Great vibes in there, huge menu selection to choose from. Wait time was not long, definitely a spot to work or just hang out. I order the "Goldie Mango" mango base with granola, banana, strawberries, and a drizzle of Nutella. I probably would ask for a tad bit more of Nutella because I love chocolate but it's my personal preference. Overall, the quantity of the bowl was worth for what you paid for. I will return back when in Austin again!

    The ambiance was nice, service fair without a smile, dirty tables and a smoothie not worth the price.

    I came here for brunch with friends and it was honestly sooo good. I love that everything is made…read morewith really clean ingredients, but still tastes super flavorful and not boring. We started with the hummus, and the vegetables that came with it were amazing!! Super fresh and actually so flavorful. Definitely not your average hummus plate. I got the steak and eggs, and the potatoes were FIRE. So garlicky and flavorful, easily my favorite part of the whole meal. I also tried the Caesar wrap which honestly wasn't my favorite, just mostly lettuce tbh. But everything else was incredible so it didn't really take away from the experience. I also tried chicken bone broth for the first time and it was so flavorful and perfect for a Sunday. The overall vibe was really bright and relaxed, perfect reset after the weekend. Loved this place so much and would definitely come back again.

    It's everything you know and love about The Well downtown, but with more parking! That alone makes…read moreit worth driving the extra 15 - 20 minutes, honestly. Plus, there's some nice outdoor seating so you can bring your dog. I will say that the prices are more than I can justify on a regular basis, but it feels like a nice, reasonably healthy splurge. The dishes are thoughtfully composed, well seasoned, and always fresh. Avocado toast is usually a throwaway offering, but they do it right here, fully loaded with pesto, heirloom tomato, and a ton of avocado. There have been some recent changes that are a bummer though. I'm really sad that they seem to have taken the vegan chorizo and potato hash off the menu, which was simply the best brunch dish. Happy hour options are also greatly reduced, leaving very little for vegans, and I'm sorry but on what planet is $8 for pickles a good deal? I still love the place, but it's not in regular rotation.
