I came in at like 7:00 for a strawberry banana smoothie, the wait was relatively short took a couple of minutes which is normal for a smoothie, But while I was waiting I noticed the atmosphere was really nice. The only problem was very very not important but they didnt put a straw in it to start, but they're on the side so it dosen't matter read more

Super refreshing. Acai was still a great frozen texture even after a 15 min back walk back to the hotel in summer humidity. Plenty of fruit and granola. I skipped the honey and felt the bowl was plenty sweet without it. For the takeout order, the workers securely wrapped my bowl in saran wrap, which I appreciated. read more

I thought this was a NYC thing until I seen one in my neck of the woods. Wasn't impressed with the music that they had playing, especially if families were to come in. I did enjoy the large selection of smoothies and I enjoyed my healthy matcha one. There are some food trucks around that sell smoothies and I found those to be better and more affordable. read more

Came for a refreshing cold bite during the heatwave. Service was friendly - the gentleman working behind the counter was friendly as we requested a few specific details to our acai bowl order. We got two acai bowls and overall found both were good. Came out quite quick as well and they were generous with the toppings. The ambiance was in line with other Playa bowls. If you're looking for a refreshing bite with friendly service, recommend stopping by. read more

This is one of the larger Playa Bowl location. More seating and has a bathroom. We came to check out the summer menu. Passionfruit being one of my favorite fruits made this an easy choice today. The fruits on the bowl were fresh and sweet just as always at Playa . The Passionfruit base was an absolute treat . Quite refreshing on this hot day. The Tropical Twist Smoothie also a hit. We got coconut protein bites for our hiking trip. They have Watermelon Cold Pressed Juice on the summer menu which we will try next time. Staff at this location is lovely, engaging and polite . Order ahead if you're pressed for time, this is a busy location. read more

I placed an order to-go through Grubhub and it was ready when I arrived for pickup. The store is well lit with bright colors and smiling faces as I entered. Everything I needed to enjoy my Nutella Açaí Bowl was packaged neatly within a stapled bag. Fresh ingredients. Full of flavor. Crunchy granola. Exactly what I needed for a little energy boost this morning! I would definitely go back! read more

The açaí bowl here was pretty good, but I thought it was a tad too sweet for my liking. I usually prefer my açaí bowls to retain a bit of the sourness from the fruits. Service was fast and great, and ambiance was very casual! read more

I like this location of Playa Bowls a lot. The menu is the same as the others, but the location is very convenient and they have better seating than most. I've been here for both smoothies and bowls, which are made well. If it's your first time at Playa Bowls, my current favorites are the green smoothie (kale, pineapple, banana, coconut milk) and the Pacific bowl (the same green blend topped with granola, banana, strawberries, and almonds), and the seasonal specials are usually good too. read more

Great experience! I ordered a custom bowl and then couldn't eat it until almost 40 mins later. It held up great! The team wrapped it in plastic wrap which helped. When I ate it, I thought it would be soupy, but it was still pretty well blended. I also had a juice and it was great over ice later that day. read more

We tried Playa bowl for the first time and their açaí bowls were amazing! I had TIDE bowl which comes with Banana base, Kiwi, Pineapple and Mango with honey goji Berry topping. My friend tried the mermaid bowl which comes with Pitaya base, Kiwi, pineapple and Mango with honey and raw coconut. If you want to try more than one base, you can ask the cashier for two kinds which I chose Banana and Green base. Since we went for the first time, when we downloaded their reward app, we received 15% off coupon code. With that coupon, it was around $13 each and the amount was more than enough. They put so much fruits on top which I loved and the base tasted amazing! There are few tables so you can eat in the store. We loved this place so much and we'll definitely come back to try different kinds too! read more

Came here to get a bowl with my friend as we decided that instead of having crazy desserts we should opt for something more healthy. So it seems like a granola+fruit+nutella bowl makes sense. We were served fast! Such a great service. Definitely coming back :) read more

This is a very cute (Hawaii vibe) healthy smoothie shop right in the busy streets of nyc. I came here this past weekend with my bf and he ordered the açaí smoothie for us the share. It was very good and very refreshing. Also it wasn't super sweet as you may think haha. I would come back here again to try something new :) read more

My sister is craving for dessert and we saw this dessert place while walking around from Macy's. Since it's our first time to try this place we shared a mango pineapple bowl. We loved it super fresh ingredients and refreshing flavors. We love the friendly and wonderful people (night shift) that works in this location. The place is tidy vibrant music but the best part is the smile and welcoming atmosphere. We enjoy our delicious dessert and feel good for the day. Good vibes is contagious and pleasant so we highly recommend Playa bowl! read more

My first experience with Playa bowls. I was not sure what to expect but my son wanted ice cream so here we are. Much healthier option for ice cream and he doesn't know any better. We got the pitaya bowl with fresh blueberries and bananas as well as granola, Nutella, coconut flakes and chocolate shavings. Boy was it delicious. We devoured almost the whole thing. Can't wait to try the ones here at home. read more

The full dining cycle provided consistent quality. It was a little expensive but there are better deals if you're not in a hurry. Employees reliably demonstrate warm hospitality.

They only had smoothies at 9:30 PM. They need better management. You cannot have Açaí bowls on the menu and not have them available all of the time. The smoothie I had was ok. read more

Really great açaí bowls and good coffee! I ordered the power açaí bowl with extra strawberries and it was so refreshing and a perfect mid day pick me up. It's a pretty big portion for the price and I felt full in good way. The açaí base was maybe a tad bit on the sweeter side but the peanut butter drizzle complimented it well. I didn't love the granola though so would recommend substituting the granola. The coffee was also great! The chicory is definitely a unique flavor that I really enjoyed. I ordered the bowl to go and they packed the order well and promptly. read more

This particular Playa Bowl is very busy. There is very little seating but the food itself is fantastic. The fruit was fresh and the bowl was very well prepared. I'm not sure I like the honey drizzled over the top of everything as it makes it all quite sticky and overly sweet. The price seems a tad high but that rings true of just shout everything in NYC. From the time I ordered to when it was made and in my hand was only about five minutes. No complaints in speed and efficiency. The floors etc, could be cleaner. It's clearly a favorite of the younger local crowd and a dozen or so school aged children were inside. read more

If you're looking for a nice healthy treat, then look no further. Playa Bowl is here! Conveniently located just a few blocks from 34th Herald Square and walking distance from Times Square. This location has indoor seating available and merchandise available for purchase. Some days the lines can be a little long so I would suggest ordering ahead to be on the safe side. The staff are friendly and they try their best to get your order completed timely. I love that they use fresh ingredients to create their menu items... true definition of fresh not frozen. So far I have only tried the smoothies and the oatmeal. Definitely a fan of both. read more

My boyfriend got me a Coconut craze bowl from playa bowls, since I've been craving coco lately and I enjoyed every single spoonful. The bowl was huge in size and the flavor was all there. The pineapple, coconut, granola and honey combo hit perfectly. A bit overpriced but def worth it. I Can't wait to try other bowls from here honestly. read more

We came twice during our trip to New York. On a hot summer day, their smoothies were really refreshing! We tried their açaí and strawberry banana smoothies. It is a bit over priced for a smoothie, but we did enjoy them. There is seating available inside, but we took ours to go. The staff was friendly and we didn't have to wait too long for our smoothies. We would definitely come back again. read more

When I visited today, the lady taking the orders was rude. I asked if I can use a gift card that I had and she pointed me to the touchscreen machine. When the options popped up, it said there was an extra surcharge for credit cards, so I asked her and she was like "so you want to pay cash"? No, I wanted to know how there is all of a sudden a credit card surcharge that's not listed anywhere. I've been here many many times and never was I told there would be a CC surcharge. More so, my usual dragonberry bowl was icy today. The flavor was still great, but usually it's smooth, not icy. Maybe just a bad day, but it's good to be consistent. read more

I tried the Tide bowl because I'm allergic to pollen. I wanted to see if my throat would swell up and suffocate me. Safe to say, I made it out alive and found out I'm no longer allergic to pollen. It was tasty açaí bowl with all that aside. read more

I'm a beach girly born and raised in LA. So my expectations for ascai and pitaya bowls are very high. So far this has probably been the best I've been able to find in ATL. I love that they have a ton of options. The ambiance is also very beachy which makes me feel at home. The service is always great and super fast. The price point is a bit high in my opinion, but honestly what isn't these days with inflation. In comparison to LA I'd give the bowls about a B- but for ATL they're probably an A+ read more

Tried the Dang Smoothie and it was delicious. Mostly tasted like peanut butter and banana--my fave.

So i've been coming here for about a year now because it's really close to my work. I've never had issues with mobile orders but recently they've been really lacking. Both of my most recent mobile orders I gave at least 40 minutes in advance and both times they were no where to be seen even though I got the "ready" message from them. This last time in particular really made me upset because it not only took forever to get someone's attention to even look for my order, but after they told me they didn't have it and they were going to make it, they still proceeded to make other guests orders. I eventually had to walk out because I was going to be late. I think the workers are really nice but the system they've set up is bad and they always seem to need an extra hand. Moral of the story: don't do mobile orders for playa bowl read more

Playa Bowls is rapidly expanding and finally open in midtown Manhattan. This location is larger with indoor seating and a restroom. Perfect location on 36th & 6th Avenue close to Macys and not too far from Times Square. They offer a variety of smoothie bowls, juices, and smoothies. Bowls are typically between $12-15. The menu of bowls is vast making it hard to decide what to get! I nice healthy treat! I got the Goji Pitaya Bowl. Refreshing and not overly sweet. I replaced the honey with almond butter for extra protein. There's an extra charge for certain ingredients added. The "Dang" smoothie was excellent! Hard to believe it had wheatgrass because it's sweet and the cinnamon taste is bold. read more

When I entered the place I was very impressed. Light R&B and HipHop was playing int the background. Individuals were sitting and working while enjoying whatever they had ordered. The service was quick and polite. I was super disappointed with the smoothie itself. I ordered the Dolce...it's pretty much a smoothie with banana, peanut butter, chocolate protein or whey and some other stuff. Now I normally make mine at home but I didn't this morning and I'm upset that I didn't. It appeared Playa Bowls may have used like a peanut butter syrup as it sat around the cup and with each sip I was not pleased. read more
