chunks

love playa bowls in general but went to this location (not my usual) and got a smoothie. the smoothie itself wasn't bad (mid tier) but there was chunks of slimy bananas in the drink making it somewhat unappetizing... now i don't know if maybe the blender was malfunctioning or they was having an off day but no shade it made me lose my appetite... I didn't know if I was going crazy so i emptied some out and the bottom of the cup was just straight slimy banana chunks??

Always great service at Playa Bowls. I went in to get a gift card for my friend and to try a smoothie for the first time. (I usually get a bowl). The smoothie was really good and was made quickly. I like the fall decorations as well.

This is my last time ordering from Playa Bowl. This location has been going down hill for a while now but it was always forgivable. Tonight? They gave me barely any fruit (literally that was it), no Nutella despite paying for the addition, and the bowl was the consistency of soup. This picture is of my bowl that is untouched besides taking off the lid. It's not worth the high cost.

The staff was patient with me as I scanned the very large menu for the perfect smoothie, I wanted something that would revitalize my day but not spoil my dinner that was only a couple of hours away. My smoothie was blended very quickly and the color was vibrant. We tend to eat with our eyes so I was ready to taste my beautiful smoothie with a swirl of peanut butter. I enjoyed this as a late lunch supplement and I felt like I was making a healthy choice by choosing Playa Bowl. Parking is easy in the back and convenient to the back entrance. I would recommend swapping a smoothie from Playa Bowl in to your late afternoon snacking during the week.

Sigh, this location left things to be desired but I love Playabowls so I come here alot. Tonight, I was eating and thought their granola pieces were harder than normal. After a couple bites, I got curious and spit out.... I found small cracked pieces of green plastic in my bowl. I'm guessing it's pieces of their spoon. Their spoon is biodegradable right? Because I'm pretty sure I swallowed some pieces. I'm embarrassed to admit I tried to eat another bite but another piece came out. After that, I finally chucked the bowl. Should I be worried about the pieces I swallowed? Lol

I'm not really a huge fan of this playa bowls location. The staff is kind of slow and while there is a lot of employees, they mostly just gossip, and you can literally hear them, so it took awhile for my order to be taken and made, even though it was just me and someone else in the store. When I went up to order, the girl was kind of just taking her time asking me about my order, which was kind of annoying, and then I had to wait like 7-8 minutes for my bowl even though there were no orders ahead of me. At least when I got my bowl, the girl that made it apologized for it taking so long, but I don't understand why it took so long for a simple bowl when everything is mostly premade already.

Bananas is one of my go-to spots in the mall for a smoothie, and I always have a great experience…read morethere. The staff is consistently friendly and pleasant, which makes each visit enjoyable. My go-to order is the "Caribbean Berry" smoothie in the regular size. It's definitely on the sweeter side, with the frozen yogurt and syrupy strawberries, I don't go there expecting a health drink, it's more of a sweet treat for me. When I want something healthier, I have other places I prefer. One thing I really like is their reward card system. Every time you order, they have a physical paper that you would bring every visit. They will stamp the card, one stamp for a small smoothie and two for a regular sized smoothie. Once you collect ten stamps, you get a free smoothie. I've probably gone through six of those cards already! However, on my last visit, I was disappointed to find out they didn't have the stamp cards available. I had just redeemed a free smoothie on my previous trip and was hoping to start a new card, but I couldn't. It would be great if they upgraded to a digital system so customers don't miss out on their rewards. A regular smoothie is $9.40 with tax included, and a small is only about 50 cents cheaper. I always order a regular size, because there's not much difference in the price. One note to make is that they do not accept Apple Pay as a form of payment!Despite the minor issue with the reward system, I'm a faithful customer and will definitely keep coming back.

I loveeee that they can make my smoothies dairy free and it still taste just as great. Another plus is their purchase system, which never expires. If you buy enough smoothies, you get one free, then this process starts over.

Sipping on my Ginger Tumeric as I write this review!!! As I big lover of kombucha, I've always…read morewanted to try one of these "on tap" places but never managed to make the drive to one. Finally one is just around the corner! I stopped by on a weekday and was greeted at the door by a member of their team. After I told him it was my first visit, he explained the prices on the two sizes as well as the flavors they had available for the day. I got a couple of tastes and ended up leaving with a 12oz of the ginger tumeric and a growler of the red zinger. All for around $26-$27. I usually go through one of the Health Ade bottles a day so I love that these are organic and locally nano-brewed. They don't have the tartness that most kombuchas I am used to have, so that is either a plus or minus for you depending on your individual preference. Oh! One more thing, if you live nearby and plan to go here quite a bit, go for the growler. You bring it back with each visit and refills are $15 compared to the $20 you'll spend on your first time. So of course this is a *Covid times review and I felt that they took some great steps to keep customers and their staff safe. They have a little table set up outside where you drop off growlers and pick up refilled ones. Hand sanitizer was on the table and a menu was on the window so the whole interaction was nearly contactless. Andddd now my ginger turmeric is officially done...

Sweet Lord!!! The best kombucha I've ever had. Definitely a fan and can't compare to any other ones…read moreout there.
