Grandkids loved this treat for preschool graduation. Very clean. Employees were friendly and efficient. Wish there were more tables inside, it was too cold and windy to sit at the tables outside read more

Now my son knows açaí bowls as he's always getting these all over the place and this was a great surprise! Maybe we came on a good day where there were lots of workers but very clean and as location goes can't be any better! read more

See all

The açaí bowl I ordered was barely filled and the service was awful. So rude. I get bayhead is a nice, fancy, place, but for the prices I should be getting what I paid for. read more

Come to this location often as it's closest to my house. Pretty hit and miss. I understand as it is mainly high schoolers. Today I ordered in person and instead of the normal smoothie texture, it was literal soup. Picture posted is 3 minutes after driving home. Asked for extra Nutella and also didn't receive that. Waste of 13 dollars or however much it was. read more

Playa Bowls - Nutaya Bowl soup - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Bay Head, New Jersey

The nicest setting of any Playa Bowls location, if you're going to eat outside. It's a pleasant experience among the flowers and trees along the water, lake and dock. There are picnic tables under umbrellas on the bulkhead. Bay Head is such a lovely beachfront community. The food is excellent, healthy, refreshing, creative, colorful and fun. And hip. Whether you're having a bowl or smoothie it's all delicious and fresh. read more

Bowls were fire. Location here is also so pretty with nice seats on the water. Bowls came out pretty fast too! Probably the best playa bowl location I've been too. read more

At 11:15am on Monday, 10/10, we arrived at Plya Bowl in Bayhead. We are generally very happy with their service and product. However when we arrived today we waited at the counter for five minutes while the server was preparing a to go order for someone else. Although she was fully aware of our presence she did not tell us that they were out of oatmeal. Finally she asked what we wanted and we ordered oatmeal bowls. Then she said we are out of oatmeal and it will take an hour to make more. We said in a friendly manner, oh we were so looking forward to oatmeal that's why we came today. She said in a very curt manner so did everyone else. We ended up leaving with a very bad taste in our mouth. Although she was apparently having a bad day, it was uncool of her to throw her vibe at us. read more

Standard excellent play bowl fare however the manager needs to step it up: -On hot summer days why do you take the umbrellas down and make everyone sit in the direct sun? -Do you really think playing a boom box at maximum volume is pleasant for everyone eating there? So nobody can talk at all? Is that your idea of beach ambience? Do not allow the employees to assault the customers with music that is way too loud inside and outside. read more

Great food. Friendly service. The only bad thing is I couldn't find the store I past it 3 times looking for it. Found it by seeing someone walking out with a playa bowl bag. Wish they had a hanging sign or something on the windows. read more

These playa bowls are all the rage. And I can definitely get on board with it! I came here a couple times since my parents live in Point Pleasant. I always get the Nutella bowl. They have a nice outdoor seating area overlooking the water..very peaceful! read more

Playa Bowls - Nutella Acai Bowl bottom right - I forget what the other bowls are - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Bay Head, New Jersey

I give it a 3 bc this is the second time my order was messed up. The first time I ordered online and asked for no coconut flakes, the order came with Coconut flakes. This next time I went into the store and ordered again with no coconut flakes and they put the flakes on. When I noticed and asked to have it remade I was greeted with an attitude. The bowls are great, just not sure why the servicee isn't. read more

Front lady with bangs very rude. If I'm paying so much for a bowl I expect better service! Will not be coming back to this location.

I ordered a bowl and added toppings that I was charged for and didn't receive! If you are going to charge .75 for each topping, train your girls to stop talking while they make bowls so that they don't miss peoples toppings!!! 4 toppings were missed. read more

Incompetent workers. Any modifications they do the opposite. The teenage girls are rude and did not even apologize for the mistake they made. We ordered a Nutella bowl with no strawberries and add honey. The only thing that came on it was strawberries, no banana or honey. When we asked them to remake it, they were rude and. read more

Little pricy for a bowl of fruit but I guess if your into this sort of eating then you could consider this a healthy option over burgers, beers and fries. A lot of young college kids running this little place but it's cute inside and the decor is pretty cool. Lots of fruit options on the menu and i guess It's great way to cool down on a hot summer day. (Better than ice cream) My only con was that I wish they had a smaller size to pick from yes it's all natural sugar but a lot of it in this bowl of fruit. read more

Went to Playa Bowl in Bay Head today for a Strawberry Lemonade. CJ made a custom Strawberry Lemonade drink that was amazing! Hoping they add it to there regular menu. I would definitely go back for it again! read more

I love Playa Bowls and I always go to the Bay Head location since it's so close to my house. I went today and I was very disappointed. I walked in waited a good 10 minutes for one of the employees to notice that I was waiting to order. Once the girl came up to me she was just staring at me with a dirty look. I placed my order with her and she gave such attitude towards me. She kept making a comment saying "ugh another bowl". She continued to say that when another customer came in after me. Both girls in that location were so miserable and rude. I will never understand why anyone thinks it's ok to treat customers that way. Unfortunately this isn't the first time a Playa Bowl employee was rude and miserable towards me. Another thing my bowl was absolutely terrible. The blueberries were so sour I couldn't eat it, there was barely any Nutella on it and I had no granola either because they just gave me the crumbs. I wasted $11 on a bowl that was terrible. Won't be going back for awhile I'll stick with Berritazza and Frutta Bowls. read more

Finally got some good service at a Playabowls location. The fruit bowls are usually good wherever you go but the service is guaranteed to be slow and lackluster. Fortunately there was a friendly manager named Lexi who was actually polite and professional when dealing with the customers and keeping the line moving. Hopefully Playa can recruit some more people like her or maybe have this kid train some of the staff at other places. Thank you. read more

Good product, but you pay up for it. The big drawback is very slow service. Must order ahead or risk waiting in line forever while the person in front of you asks questions about different types of fruit read more

I love playa, I really do. But the staff??? You can tell they just DO NOT want to be there or just hate life. So unfriendly, no smiles and look angry that you came in. As for the menu items; awesome! Staff? Terrible. read more

Awesome service, friendly staff. Original food. They had run out of coffee after I ordered and instead of just refunding me for the coffee, they comped my whole order.. awesome!! read more

Playa Bowls - This place is incredible, original, warm atmosphere, friendly staff. Excellent customer service. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Bay Head, New Jersey

We love playa bowls but the last few times we went it was a terrible experience. Today we went and ordered 3 bowls. The guy that took our order seemed so bothered by us. We waited well over 20 min, our bowls weren't done at the same time and 2 weren't made correctly. Plus they were all overflowing and not very cold. To be that disorganized on a Saturday afternoon is not good for business. I'd like to give them another chance but honestly it's not worth the $30+ read more

I want to love this place. But I cant. I agree with all other reviewers - bit pricey for a smoothie/bowl, always REALLY CROWDED so you end up waiting forever (theres got to be a better way to handle the volume of ppl?), and sometimes (not always) the staff does seem unfriendly. But I will still go back, because of the convenience and health factor for me in the summer months. read more

Loved the bowls, the service and the decor. Went on a quiet Wednesday night so maybe we got lucky. Will be back. read more

Absolutely terrible staff. No sense of urgency or enthusiasm. The product is great but the staff makes me want to take business elsewhere. Every time I come in it's awful read more

I usually love Playa bowls.But at this location the employees are very rude and act as if you are inconveniencing them by placing an order! There were four girls behind the counter..not one smile ...basically just an snotty attitude! The bowls aren't cheap. Though the decor is very cute the vibe is not inviting at all.You might consider going to a different location to get better service.These pretentious girls that are employed here are truly a deterrent to going here! Time for someone to make a change in staff!!!So disappointing!:( read more

Was just there earlier today to get some iced coffee with my cousins, one of whom has a life-threatening nut allergy. When ordering the coffees, I was told they did not carry regular cow's milk. I had the choice between soy milk, almond milk and some other kind of fictitious milk. I ordered soy for my cousin allergic to nuts and almond for the other. When the coffees were finished, the girl specifically told me which one was which. I asked again "You're sure this is soy?" To which she said "Yes." Five minutes in later in the car, my cousin allergic to nuts starts to feel her throat closing. Sure enough, she was given the wrong coffee. Thankfully, we had an Epi-pen and Benadryl at the ready. Had we not, this careless and easily-avoidable mistake could have been much more serious. At the very least, it has cost Playa Bowls our business. We will not be back, and I suggest they staff someone over the age of 16. read more

Playa Bowls...the most amount of hype I have ever seen in my life. I get it, it's healthy. That's great. I went in today with my friend and was not looking forward to it and my senses were right. I got the power bowl and the açaí was filled up everywhere in it. I think it is okay. On the bright side, service was great and the atmosphere is fabulous. Definitely a 6/10 suggestion. read more

I like the tables outside facing the water. Love the bowls, they serve a generous portion of fruit.

NEVER AGAIN will i go back to the location in Bay Head!!!! The other day my son and I went into get bowls and the staff was awful. They were not friendly what so ever and two girls, one blonde and brown hair, completely ignored us for almost 5 minutes while they finished their conversation on the phone. I will never return to this location due to their terrible customer service read more

Ordered our bowls on the website, which is poorly designed and not user friendly. When we arrived, we asked if our order was ready, which they said it was not. We proceeded to wait for our order after asking them to let us know when it was ready, but they never notified us so we ended up waiting an extra hour. When we ate our bowls, we found hair in all of them. Will not be coming back. read more

Ordered online and the order was ready as told. Online ordering is not user-friendly but is a must. You do not want to wait in the store. The ingredients were super fresh and the location is clean. Perfect to be so close to the water. Staff were friendly, slightly pretentious. read more

#Iloveplaya! My daughter bought me my first bowl and I was hooked. I order my coconut bowl exactly the way I want it. It's no problem even when they are very busy. I have never had a bad experience there. Quite the opposite! The bowls are delicious and the service is Excellent!! #playaforlife read more

I love Playa Bowls. However, this location I didn't like. The line to order has no room to form an actual line, and the menu is in a weird place, where you have to make your way through the people standing in line. The crowd was also overwhelming. I know it's summer, and it's going to be crowded. But, people should still have manners, which I found were missing. The staff was very nice and my smoothie bowl was good, a little heavy on the granola though. read more
