This was once my favorite Playa Bowl location, but sadly things have changed..I ordered an Açaí bowl and it might as well been a smoothie..i didn't have time to go back and ask them to remake it..I was just shocked that an employee thought it was acceptable to hand a paying customer melted mush..sadly this has happened before at this location..I guess at this point I feel like a review isn't being unkind..just truthful..one time is just a bad day..but more then once is saying either I don't care or the freezer isn't working properly‍ read more

The product used to be good but this past year the acai bowls have become very soupy, watered down, with mushy bits of granola floating around. How do you hand that to a customer with a straight face? I swear the smoothies have also become watered down, the protein powder isn't included, and more than once I've been given a small when I ordered a large. The staff has always been the unfriendly "your presence is annoying me" type. Yet they expect a 20% tip. It used to be tolerable for a good product but not anymore. read more

I love Playa Bowls in general and will go to just about any including this one but have to say that this location has employees with a range of mediocre to down right rude/unprofessional customer service attitudes. I understand they're basically kids working their first job but the owner of this specific Playa Bowls needs to teach these kids the importance of friendly and eager service skills. read more

I used to love these bowls. But they seem to have gotten smaller over the years. And now they charge a random fee when ordering in the store. I didn't notice it until after I left. Not sure why they can't just include the fee in the price. Good businesses don't need to nickel and dime customers. I'd love for them to explain what it's for here. Thanks! read more

Ordered a large smoothie through the app. Was charged a "convenience fee" for placing an order through their own app. Went to the store was has given a small smoothie. Will never go again. Would not recommend unless you care more concerned about posting a picture to instagram than service/value you are going to get. The smoothie was ok but had a lot of chunks at the bottom that weren't finely blended. read more

Playa Bowls - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Sea Girt, New Jersey

Nice employees and delicious food. The items are pricey (but comparable to equal items elsewhere). It's consistent week after week and although we asked for no coconut and got coconut they very quickly remade it. This location has outdoor seating which was perfect for today's weather. I definitely recommend playa bowls sea girt. read more

Playa Bowls is always solid and this location lives up to the reputation. I had a pitaya smoothie and added protein. You wouldn't believe the number of places that make smoothies and don't have protein as an option, so I appreciate Playa Bowls having it. Service was quick and efficient. Location was convenient and interior clean. Solid 4 star experience read more

Probably the best Playa Bowls I've ever been too when it comes to portions and consistency!!! Will definitely be coming back

I'll be honest, I avoided this chain for quite a while because my little sister loves it and thinks she's super "with it" so I tend to roll my eyes whenever she thinks things are cool. BUT I caved and finally went. The smoothie I got was actually awesome. I think I got some peanut butter smoothie with bananas and some other fruit I can't pronounce. Hit the spot on a hot day. A big plus for me was the mid-2000s pop punk they were playing. For a 24 year old male it was like a taste of the music I grew up on. However the reason why can't say this place is 100% yet is because their volume was dialed up to 11 and I couldn't hear the girl who was taking my order 2 feet in front of me. It's a bit much. Although you guys need to keep that music theme going. I'll be back! read more

I've been going to Frutta Bowls for a few months after being introduced to açaí bowls at the Playa Bowls location in Asbury Park. My daughter convinced me to take a ride to Playa Bowl in Sea Girt the other day, so I ordered a tropical açaí bowl which is my go-to at Frutta Bowl as well. I'm not sure if there's a quality control issue or what, but my order was really disappointing. The açaí was studded with woody chunks of pineapple core and balls of ice crystals. There was a meager amount of sliced fruit on top. My daughter enjoyed her bowl and the smoothie we picked up for my son was reportedly as good as always. read more

Second time I went in to this location and was greeted by 2 unfriendly girls. Every other Playa I've been to, the employees are always so nice and friendly , especially Jamie In the Philly store. She also has worked in Lavallette and is never without a smile on her face! Probably wouldn't go back to Sea Girt location. read more

I really enjoy Playa but have found the staff at the Sea Girt location very unfriendly and the product less than par. My last bowl was so soupy, it was awful. The one before the base was frozen solid. I went last night and was informed they will not make a juice because they already cleaned the machine. Seems like their give a sh*t is broken. read more

We enjoy Playa Bowls, but have stopped ordering online because our order is never correct. Yesterday, I went into the store and was happy to wait for my custom order. Both orders were incorrect, missing almost all the customization I asked for. When I went to the counter to ask that they fix the problems, the young girl was angry and told me that what I ordered wasn't on the ticket, even though the girl who took my order was standing right there. She grabbed the bowl from my hand and dumped some blueberries on top. There didn't seem to be a supervisor working, just three young girls and although I like the food, it will be hard to return when you can never get what you actually want and when the attitudes from the workers is so bad. read more

This location is amazing! Workers cleaning whenever they have a moment and they are so nice to each costumer as well!

Really disappointed. Not only did they raise the price they did not follow instructions for special ordered items. We ordered 3 bowls and 2 of the 3 were not made properly as instructed This was not the first time either. I have never written a review but paying the cost of an entre at a restaurant you would expect that the order would be right. On top of getting the orders wrong there was only one spoon full of granola in 2 of the 3. I would suggest better training of employees to not skimp on customer orders. read more

It's my go to every time I'm in town!!!!! Yew!!!!! Such a friendly team there. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a bowl.

This place is horrible they make you pay first be wary had a bowl made with old fermenting fruit very slimy ask them to make me another bowl but they refused and said you had to take it up with corporate would not give me my money back because I already paid never received a response from corporate if you're looking for somewhere to eat a disgusting fermented bowl of mush this is the place you want to go there's no negative on this website so I'm gonna have to give them one star ps I threw the bowl out in front of them this place is dead to me read more

I haven't gotten a playa bowl in quite sometime and we went to the one in Sea Girt Monday night and I have to say the containers are smaller there really isn't a lot of flavor in them like they used to have and to top it off the person putting the strawberries on mine and my daughters bowl took the green off the stem but left the stem itself so we had to eat around it. And the strawberries didn't have a lot of flavor. read more

Love Playa don't get me wrong but please cut the stems off the strawberries!! I don't want to eat leaves and spit out the rest of the stem!!! read more

Been going to Playa Bowls in Belmar for years. Was shopping at Banana Republic and noticed new store. Stopped in to get a bowl. Was disappointed, bowl not as full as Flag Ship and light on granola.... maybe working production kinks out. read more

I really love playa bowls. I went to playa bowls about two hours before they closed. I had gotten a bowl with an oatmeal base. They didn't want to make more so asked if they could microwave what they had. I said sure. That wasn't a big deal for me. When I got home and went to eat my bowl, there was like no oatmeal. To get any in a bite I had to move everything else. I've never been disappointed by playa bowl before. But I'm not sure if I'll return to this location if this is considered acceptable. read more

This place provides terrible service. They messed up an order I paid for including paying door dash to deliver. The Manager's response - we can't find your order on our system. He repeated that multiple times - the order was placed 30 minutes prior and delivered - before hanging up. This is the second time in a week they've messed up an order - and the part of the order delivered was soggy fruit. Stay away from this place. read more

Came here for a smoothie and a bowl. Smoothie was good but the bowl was half the size with hardly any granola or drizzle.

I arrived at the Sea Girt location just about 8pm on the dot and I noticed the worker locking the door. I exited my car in a panic because I was set to pick up 2 bowls for the following day to give to others who live up north and don't have a location near them. I immediately explained to the worker I read on the website the store closes at 9 and exactly what my dilemma was. He asked me what I needed and immediately attended to my order without hesitation. This is what makes a business strive. Taking pride in what you represent and doing so with a smile. Is the website showing misinformation saying the hours are until 9pm and they close at 8pm, yes, BUT this gentleman tended to myself, the customer, in a polite fashion without attitude or question. I also noticed the place was sparkling clean, smelt like it had just been mopped, and yet he was dirtying blenders to make my order past the closing time. Thank you for saving the day playa bowls worker- sorry I missed your name. I will continue to make that my go to location in the future and you should all too! read more
