Not-so pleasant experience. Warm dining area. The summer job crew needs to work on customer service attitude. Waiting time is long too, they need more staffing at peak hours. Street parking. Highchair seen. The cubicle booth is a nice touch to these branch. See images for reference read more

I would give this place 6 stars if I could!! It's just that good! I've been trying out different açaí bowl places and this one is definitely the winner by a long shot! They even have an option to do half of one type of bowl and half of another. For example, half açaí and half pitaya or half pitaya and half chia seeds, which is the option we chose. I liked the pitaya side s little bit more because it was more refreshing but it was great to be able to try both flavors in one bowl! I wish I lived in the area so I could come back soon to try their other two flavors with the multiple different toppings options! I always get the nuteya bowl and change the bases , because who could go wrong with a Nutella drizzle! They are also super flexible with the toppings so you can substitute toppings if you would like to! read more

I've been a playa bowls customer for years-- since they were in Belmar and before they've expanded. I've eaten at playa bowls at other locations in the state, and outside of the state. Every single time I order from this location-- the acai is entirely melted. Complete liquid each time, without fail. Not sure why I'm paying $14 for a bowl that's never up to quality standards. Going to have to look for other acai options in the area unless this changes. *I also want to clarify that I picked this order up directly from the restaurant, I didn't have it delivered* read more

I ordered the Lola bowl. It is a kale blend with granola, pineapple, mango, coconut, and honey. I absolutely loved it. Would go back again! read more

didn't want to do this on here but it needs to be addressed! About 90% of Americans are not consuming enough fruits and vegetables...hello people the solution is right here !!! No seriously I love all the bowls at Playa Bowl! The Power & Nutella açaí bowls are a couple of my favorites. I also love the smoothies and the lattes. I honestly have no clue if these are good for you but with all the fresh fruits and veggies they use I'm just going to say they are GREAT for me. If you aren't sure just consider me WebMD and stop in for your medicine! The decor is also amazing, it's kind of like a little piece of summer all year long. I do collect the stickers because I'm a little weird but stop in and thank me later!! read more

Smoothie was good and made quickly at 7 PM on a Friday night. Young employees were largely unfriendly and complaining about their job to one another in front of me, the only customer... a few unsanitary processes going on with blenders all over the place, gloves not being changed, etc... I hope the management steps up to create a better culture for employees. read more

Ordered 3 smoothies today and they took an extremely long time to make them probably because the staff was more focused on talking and gossip amongst one another. I was with a child and I was almost about to walk outside to wait for my order because the staff was cursing. At one point one of the ladies behind the register noticed my frustration and whispered to the girl to hurry with my order bc the ingredients were in the blender but she was too busy talking to finish my order. Although I enjoyed my smoothies, the staff is very inappropriate. read more

Came here for the grand opening when they were giving out 50 playa bowls for free! Got the nutella bowl with half pitaya and half acai while my boyfriend got the tide bowl with acai and banana. This location's decor aims to please it was so fun and really encompasses playa bowls theme of a beachy and fun brand. Portions were just right and all of the fruit was super fresh, ripe and to die for paired with the cold acai base. If you're a fan of nutella, be sure to get a healthy drizzle of it all over your bowl. Normal costs of the bowl without the promotion ranges from 9-13 dollars depending on your toppings. I've also tried from other locations the green bowl and chia bowl if you're looking for less sweet and sugary options. read more

Love these açaí bowls, summit staff is always so nice and welcoming, and as always the playa bowl atmosphere brings you right to the beach.

I enjoy playa bowls. The bowls and smoothies are very refreshing. My only complaint is that they messed up my breakfast buddy's order (but she ended up loving what they gave her instead!). read more

Playa Bowls (pronounced Ply-a bowls) is a cute little eatery located on busy Millburn Ave in Millburn. Parking could be difficult to find on the same street but I was lucky enough to snag a spot directly in front of the location. No worries though, there's plenty of parking in the paying lot around the corner if you are not as lucky as I was. They serve smoothies, fruit bowls (which is basically like a smoothie in a bowl that you eat with a spoon) and food bowls that contain a protein, some choice veggies and a sauce. They have a slew of bowl and beverage options at their establishment so I highly suggest you go to the website and decide what you want ahead of time if at all possible. I ordered the vida bowl. Its açaí topped with blueberries, strawberries, granola and honey. It tasted a little like ice cream -delicious! And while most things I consume tend to hurt my stomach surprisingly this did not. The service was good. I walked in and asked the young lady at the counter what was their most popular bowl. I wasn't in the mood for chocolate and Nutella contains hazelnuts which I have an allergy to so I won't eat that. She recommended the Pure Vida and it was pure heaven while I ate it. Definitely a nice treat every now and then for $8. Yes, I do recommend Playa Bowls and will more then likely return with a friend as they do have tables and chairs set up so their customers can sit, eat and be merry :-) read more

Diabetes Bowls. I love Açaí bowls and Playa has plenty, but I must say they are packed with so much sugar you might as well consider it a treat like ice cream, not a health benefit. The Açaí itself is a low sugar fruit and shouldn't taste so sweet on its own (not counting the toppings) so it begs the question... what's in this frozen Açaí mix? Juice, other sweet fruits, but definitely not pure Açaí. I could not finish the bowl so $10 down the drain. I cannot recommend an Açaí bowl here for no other reason than a sweet treat for kids, an insulin shot, or someone looking for a sugar high, unless they offer a healthier option in the future. read more

I love playa and have never left a bad review, however this playa has messed up my order every time I've ordered a bowl and this time they gave me a completely melted bowl, it must have been a canceled order from before because it was completely wrong and not close to what I ordered. photo was taken after I put in the freezer for 10 min and it's still only liquid. read more

Playa Bowls - Completely melted bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Summit, New Jersey

I have always loved playa bowls but today I waited a 45 minutes if not more for my TWO bowls that I had ordered. There are only three people working here this Saturday and I think the staffing should be better especially during the weekends and when we are approaching summer where there will be more people coming into this place. Whoever the manager is should also be hiring if not helping out on the floor and overseeing because these ladies were the only ones here. This is RIDICULOUS. Not to mention the staff were UNAPOLOGETIC of the wait that the customers had to go through. read more

I've ordered delivery from this place multiple times and every single time there has been something wrong with the order or it arrived melted or they cancel without calling (multiple times at this point). It's like the owners don't know how poorly the day to day is being run and how little the kids left running the place actually care about making any $$z Tonight was the last time I will order from this place, I placed an order at 7:30 only to get a notification at 8:13 that my order is cancelled. Hi guys have you heard of calling the delivery person or the customer to alert them right at the time of the order that you won't be able to fulfill it?! Terrible, just terrible way to run a business... train your people better! read more

The service has gone downhill. They have young kids working with no adult supervision. Orders are mixed up, they forget to complete orders, orders take a long time. read more

First time trying Playa Bowls as I had fruit bowls from different establishments, I tried the Nica Banana Bowl it was pretty good. They have a wall full of different bowls with different purée bases like Bananas, Kale, Chia seeds to name a few. I definitely go back try them all. read more

Having two bowls a week has become a weekly routine here at Playa Bowls in Summit. The staff is super friendly. Lauren is an incredible manager and the owners are extremely passionate about the quality and experience that they bring to every customer. My favorite is the Pura Vida which comes with Blueberries, Strawberries and Granola and I like to substitute the honey with Nutella. The base is made with acai berries without the yogurt additions they mix in from other places. They also have incredible lemonades from Lizzmonades. They have everything from Acai, Pitaya, Banana, Green, and Oatmeal. They have smoothies as well. If you havent had a Playa Bowls yet, you are totally missing out. This is a true 5 star experience! read more

Wow beginning of Spring, weather is nice, the açaí bowls here are good BUT c'mon... the owner didn't think it'll be busy today? I've been here for a good 20 min now and there's only 3 of them here and there's a lot of people waiting!!! I should have gone to Bonji bowl... I hope when summer comes they'll be prepared staffing wise‍ ***update*** I finally got my bowl after 45 long minutes!!! Absolutely insane and no one said I'm sorry for the long wait!!!!! Wow!!!! read more

Everything is so good you can't go wrong. The staff is amazing and sweet.. it's in a good area if you want something quick and healthy.

The best bowls I have had. Recently I had a very small issue with an order and called. They apologized refunded and gave me a new bowl. That is customer service you don't receive from most places. Will continue to order from them. Reasonably priced as well. Thanks!! read more

Overdue. Generally order online and have it delivered. Came in for the first time at night about a month ago and it was pretty dead. I was scared when after I placed my order the employee grabbed a blended mix from the fridge/freezer below and because it was pretty rock solid chose against using that for me and decided to have a new one blended for me. It was clear she was new and the other girl wasn't exactly jumping to help her. It was even more disturbing that the whole time she was wearing the same gloves to open the various cabinets/drawers the whole time. She grabbed a new blender, pour juice - then with the same gloves opened various drawers to access the frozen fruit and for whatever reason used her hands covered in the same gloves to grab at the fruit and throw into the blender. Is this how it's normally done? Super unsanitary in my opinion. Are there no large serving spoons to pull out the fruit they need?? Any how, it wouldn't blend and the girls kind of just stared at the blender as it struggled. A guy came from the back and took over. Since then, while I feel the crave for Playa Bowl at times...the fact that I now have it visualized of gloves directly on the cabinets, blender, juice box, and frozen fruits has kept me away since. read more

this location has completely gone down hill. i have ordered every saturday & sunday for a year, and the last 3 months, there has been something wrong with my order EVERY SINGLE TIME. it's now at the point where i won't be buying playa bowls anymore. there is zero quality control and the teenagers working behind the counter don't care to make any effort, they just sit there and do the bare minimum in order to collect their paycheck. zero stars at this point if i could. read more
