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.

I really love Playa Bowls--the flavors are great and it's usually my go-to. That said, more often…read morethan not, my bowl is made incorrectly, which has been frustrating. I often order granola on the side because I personally don't like granola, but my daughter does. On a recent order, it was put directly on the bowl anyway. I chose to still take it because I didn't want them to have to throw away and remake an entire bowl, and they kindly added extra granola on the side--but it still wasn't what I ordered. Unfortunately, my order was wrong again today. What's disappointing is that the order is wrong whether I order online or in person. I love the product, but consistency and attention to customizations really need improvement.

Overall, this place was great and I am excited to return !

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.

Not too sweet and tasted more like a custard creme than egg. I couldn't stop drinking it even though I could feel the caffeine coursing through me. They have so many fun drink options, acai bowls, and snacks. The staff were friendly and helpful. The owner even said bye to us on our way out! Fun fact: Currently posting this at 2:30 am, about 11 hours after I got my coffee. Vietnamese coffee is no joke.

This turned out to be a good decision as there were all sorts of options to upcharge in the online order to get more juice, but coming in person seemed to get me a generous output without paying extra. The product is no less sweet than it sounds, so I drank only a bit of it and saved the rest. I also got a croffle with some thankfully semisweet cream and strawberries, which delivered a more balanced flavor. I might sooner try their other beverages if I came back, but clearly there is some good stuff.

It isn't too too spacious in there, more for a grab and go. Luckily, there is a lot of outdoor seating here and around the mosaic area to eat at if you wanted to consume it right away. My favorite bowl is the nutella açaí bowl but you genuinely cannot go wrong with any other options. It is always loaded to the brim and the best bang for your buck. It's my favorite spot to hit up in the summer and I will definitely be back again.

These bowls are low-cal but super satisfying, packed with wholesome ingredients that keep me full and energized without feeling heavy. What I love most is the perfect balance of flavor and nutrition. Whether it's their classic acai bowls loaded with fresh fruit, crunchy granola, and a drizzle of honey, or one of their creative seasonal specials, every bite tastes vibrant and refreshing. Plus, the texture combo of creamy, crunchy, and juicy is spot-on every time. The staff are always friendly and fast, making it easy to grab something on the go or chill for a bit. It's become my go-to healthy treat and a great way to cool down after being out in the heat. If you're looking for a guilt-free indulgence that actually fuels you, Berries and Bowl is the place to be. Highly recommend! They have outdoor dining and I like that ok hot days good energy and environment nice atmosphere I like the ambiance.

I love how they serve the "for here" in a glass cup. As for the flavor, mhm, the açaí flavor was just a bit off, I'm not sure how to explain it...but had a strange taste when eating it...wasn't really a fan of the flavor profile. The fruit was mostly good, but also was a little off. I don't like how small the strawberries were diced up to be. I'd say 2/5, unfortunately the flavors weren't there

I get it. It's a smoothie bowl. But I have seen some companies do it well enough where it's not melted 5 minutes after you receive it. They should invest in fixing this. 3. I think the pineapple was canned.. it was giving Dole... Like it was sitting in juice somewhere. Not a fan. Fresh pineapple please! I'll make sure to ask next time in case I'm wrong. Strawberries were great! Mango was good. I loved the crunch of the granola but it was too sweet. The price point was good. I appreciated the bowl being big enough for me to feel like I got a great amount but it wasn't so full I couldn't get to the bottom. I would come back to try their other flavors and give it a second chance but I'm not pressed.

Its dull, over priced, bad service and certainly a hangout out of necessity because the nearest starbucks is far from a block away!
