I'm a person who likes peanut butter but if you're not into it so much this may not be for you. The peanut butter is thick! It's heavy on the peanut butter and bananas without much fluff of milk or other liquids. I really appreciated this and found it quite tasty.

From what I've seen and heard, it's highly regarded by the many Brazilians in the local community, which says a lot. If you want the real flavors of Brazil, you've found it!

Service was great. We were waited on right away and the young lady explained different choices for smoothies. I decided to go with the Tropical Smoothie. My granddaughter ordered the Tropical Bowl. She was really excited that they have gluten free granola. We sat down and I loved the cute decor. There were really cute posters and warm woods. A fun fruit mural covers the front wall, as you walk in the door. My smoothie was fruity and delicious. It was so large, I didn't think I would finish it, but I did. My granddaughter loved her bowl and she even scraped the bottom of the bowl,for any leftover bits. That should tell you how good it was. I took off one star because prices are high. But, given the wholesome ingredients, great service, and gluten free options...I think this well worth it. As, one of the cute t-shirts says, " I really regret eating healthy today, said no one ever! " I agree.

Also a curry goat patty. Their patties are fresh made. I watched one of the owners literally crimping the stuffed edges myself yesterday. The fruit used in all the juices is equally fresh. Fresh, fresh, fresh. They do curry chicken, curry goat, queso fresco, oxtail all in their lineup. An assortment of entrees too. The owners are four Jamaican guys who own both businesses. The ingredients are fresh and the seasonings are on point. Good guys with two good businesses. Solaire Social Food Court.... terrific ambiance.

And because one is never enough, I bought two--one to enjoy today and one to freeze for tomorrow. South Block always has such a casual but vibrant atmosphere that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. The smoothies are always delicious, and my favorite bowl is the Peanut Butter Blast with the Nutella topping. The service is consistently great, the food is delicious, and I love having healthy options that make you feel good. But one of my favorite things about South Block is the positive, community-minded energy. Amir and the entire South Block team are all about community, having fun, and making people feel welcome. You can really feel that when you walk in. Great food, great drinks, great service, and an even better vibe. Happy 15th birthday, South Block!

STRAWBERRY MINI - 6.49 I didn't need a whole lot, so I went with the 12 oz. kid size smoothie. This contains guava juice, strawberry, and bananas, which is much less complex than the regular sized 16 oz. adult smoothies. Overall, pretty refreshing and enjoyable. It's not Orange Fanta, but it did the job. Spacious interior but not a whole lot of seating. Definitely more of a grab-and-go while walking around Pike & Rose.

I first tried Playa Bowls in Burtonsville, MD in March 2025 and loved it. I visited their College Park location speaking of America 250 on July 4, 2026. I combined this with a $2.50 individual cheese pizza deal at Ledo in honor of 250 that day only, which was a block away from here. Playa Bowls had a 250 bonus points promotion going on that 4th of July weekend. Staff at the College Park location was very friendly, at least on par with my experiences at Burtonsville. I always never know what I'm getting whenever I go. I remembered to look at their seasonal specialty bowls, but neither terribly appealed to me. I ended up going with Coco Berry bowl, which came with strawberries, blueberries, a yogurt base, coconut, banana, & blueberry flax granola. This was delicious! This was also unintentional, but the bowl I got happened to be red, white, & blue, so that was cool!

I got a honey oatmeal and a tropical smoothie. the texture of the oatmeal was pretty good! i think the size of both of them was also pretty good. they both also taste fresh ingredient wise. the oatmeal by itself was pretty plain, but it is oatmeal and there were toppings so im not mad at that. perhaps there could be more of the toppings on the outmeal but im honestly not too too upset. the place is smallish but when i came (5.30 on a sat) it wasnt busy at all. it was actually empty. their guest wifi is password protected but i thinki the speed is pretty good. theres seating with chargers so i decided to do some work there. they also close at 9, which is a decent time to close! Im not sure that i would spend my own dollars here but i would def use classpass credits here again!
