the food is always fresh and delicious! however the only thing i will say is on wednesday 4-29-26 when i got an acai bowl the acai did not taste as fresh as it normally does. the other thing to note is that on the menu it still says coconut flakes but it's actually sweetened coconut shreds which are completely different. all the other bases taste the same it's just the acai. i wonder if they have switched the quality of the acai read more

Total Playa Bowls fan here! You're always greeted with a smile at this location. Love the decor but think they should have someone professionally clean from time to time the orders are made accurately and usually done pretty quickly. The last two times, I had to wait because they were working on mobile or DoorDash orders. It is a little frustrating when you are the only person there and waiting for one or two items and they are working on multiple orders. The last time I waited almost 20 minutes with no one else in the location. I thought it would be easier just to make my bowl and let me leave, but I guess not! The very last time they ran out of açai and didn't let me know so I ended up waiting a half hour before I reached out and asked if there was a problem with my order. Normally, it's a much smoother and quicker process so still gave four stars! read more

Amazing service, took about 2 or 3 mins to make 3 bowls. It's really good! Place is clean and awesomely delicious!! read more

My son knows I love açaí bowls so when we came out to visit, he brought me here. The service was pretty quick and the açaí bowl was delicious! I got the power bowl. Their menu has so many options but I went with my traditional açaí bowl. This is a cute little establishment and I wish they were in San Diego county. read more

Playa Bowls - Power Bowl - açaí, chocolate protein, peanut butter, granola, honey and bananas. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Middletown, Delaware

On numerous occasions, my smoothie is NOT mixed well enough where I don't have pieces of spinach or blueberries in each Sip! I should NOT have to ask continually for my smoothies to be MIXED m o r e. The prices are wayyyyyy to expensive for this kind of service. Let alone... I waited 30 minutes to get my order. LASTLY... I have posted on several other sites indicating that the staff SHLD be wearing hair nets while making the products. Disappointed. read more

Playa Bowls - This is a GREEN SMOOTHIE! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Middletown, Delaware

I live 30 minutes outside of town. I stopped by playa bowls before I headed home and ordered two bowls. The girls working were too preoccupied with gossiping to each other to make sure that my order was correct. I ended up taking home two bowls that were not only incorrect but had bananas in them which my boyfriend is extremely allergic too. They didn't even bother to bag the bowls before I left and acted like I was interrupting conversation when I asked for one. Hit or miss location but great chain. read more

I love the smoothies.. however recently, we ran into an issue where we realized that you get charged almost 5% more if you use a credit card vs cash. There was a sign off the right of the cash register where it's very easily missed if you were looking to the left to look at the menu. The cashier didn't even mention that there would be an up charge. He mentioned they had the sign however, it was surrounded by other things around it. My mother in law mentioned that they should let folks know when they ask "cash or credit". However the cashiers response was "that's against policy". That's very deceiving and dishonest. It's quite normal for people to resort to credit vs carrying cash around. Even gas stations will let you know in large signs while checking out that there will be an up charge for credit. Terrible. read more

Usually a pleasurable experience at the Middletown Playa. I order ahead and pick up. Never a problem with my order. Not this time. They missed ingredients and you'd think I would get an apology or a "welcome" after I said Thank you upon receiving the correct order. Those girls need to learn some customer service skills!!!! read more

The bowls are getting runny and now the smoothies are inconsistent by the day. Everyone employee gives their interpretation of what's is suppose to be been loyal customers for years but now we will have to search for other places. Other people are making Açaí bows. read more

I frequent the Newark, DE location from time to time and if you've ever been, you know they rock. This location is HUGE by comparison and beautiful, the art on the walls is so vibrant and makes you feel like you're at the beach. Friendly staff, and delicious bowls. Have yet to try a juice or smoothie, but I can recommend Ocean Ave (a green bowl) and the Olas bowl, which is a banana bowl. Everything is customizable and they inform you of health benefits per your ingredients on signage. Fresh and delicious!! And FILLING!! I can never finish my bowl lol. read more

Delicious smoothie bowls, happy to have one in Middletown! Subtracted one star for not being very kid friendly for dining in - they only have high top seating and no changing table in the restrooms. read more

I've been going to playa bowls in Newark and I can say they are absolutely amazing! Their bowls are always consistent and their customer service is outstanding, unfortunately I can not say the same about the Middletown location. I've been there a few times now and every time my bowl is lacking something, my online order is messed up and the customer service isn't as good as the other location. It's convenient since it's closer to where I live but still prefer to go to the Newark location read more

Amazing food and staff. It doesn't hurt the owners are extremely nice and good looking. Highly recommend.

This place is awesome! I always get the Nica bowl and it so good! The fruit is always fresh! The menu is extensive! I have had one of their fruit smoothies and it was very good. I make a point to go to this place at least 2 times a week! read more

love this place! i used to work here and i can verify this is a great restaurant. much care is put into each bowl or order and only the best ingredients are used! playa really cares about its customers and employees. some of my favorites include the dolce smoothie(extra pb), the booster bowl(with walnut and bee pollen) and the stupid cupid bowl! super healthy and makes you feel great after you eat it. not only are there all the choices on the menu but you can customize your bowl to include WHATEVER you want! read more

My boyfriend and I travel from Philadelphia to Maryland a lot and there aren't a lot of healthy/vegan places to eat (especially for breakfast). We stumbled upon this gem on our most recent drive and it was the best find on a trip! We had two chia bowls, they were both super good. Their packaging is compostable, and the bowl we got had lids that matched so we took them with to reuse them. Great business, great food, the owner was awesome and helped us navigate the menu. If you are looking for a healthy breakfast on the go, Middletown, this ones for you! read more

I and very disgusting and disappointed with Playa bowls... for one it was not clean whatsoever and it took for ever just to get a smoothie and a bowl. There were no spoons and it took a worker 10 minutes to put ONE SPOONN in the holder. Then on top of that we were given a very DISGUSTING lid for the bowl and it just looked really nasty. 10/10 WOULD NOT RECOMMEND read more

I have been coming to this location since it's open only out of convenience because the newark location is farther from me. At this point I expect something to go wrong whenever I come here but this time in particular was very disappointing. I had come inside with my sister and the person at the register (an older white woman) was very dismissive and cold. Either she made mistakes when putting in the order or the kid that made it messed it up but the portions are completely wrong (yes I know I am a customer and no I don't make them myself or have been taught how but after going to this chain for 5 years I know right from wrong), things I asked to be removed were still on the bowl, while I was at the register I saw a bowl base being made (the banana and strawberry one) and it looked really pink and I was like what's that one and she explained it was made that way for someone with an allergy that couldn't eat bananas (this was a strawberry and bananas and I said "can I have a double base with the açaí and that stuff with just the strawberry" and I ended up receiving it as banana and strawberry instead of just strawberries. I do not eat bananas couldn't eat what I paid 12$ for. Basically they suck ass. The teenagers that work there are sweet but don't know what their doing. The manager lady I'm assuming needs to be a little more personable. And for heaven's sake retrain these people on serving sizes. I'd kill to walk around the counter and make my own bowl. read more

I do doordash. I came here to pick up a order and I was thinking of ordering for myself as well. The woman in the front who is Caucasian and heavy set was rude. She claimed she needed me to have the doordash bag to give me the food. I have been doing door dash since the app has come out. No one has to ever told me they need me to have a bag to give me any food related items. I did not tell her how to do my job but she felt entitled to tell me how to do mine. I personally won't be buying from them. read more

Yum! Tasty, healthy options to satisfy a sweet tooth. Guilt free alternative to the standard ice cream stand.

This place is the place to go if you are looking for fresh ingredients in your food. There are so many options to choose from. If you want a smoothie filled with greens, a bowl with fruit and nutella, or cozy oatmeal they have it. The customer service is excellent. They are always willing to guide you through the menu and give samples for you to try. The beach atmosphere with music playing makes it enjoyable. The employees always ensure to keep tables clean. Bathrooms are clean. Always a 10/10 experience when i go. read more
