I haven't had a bowl in so long and this is definitely worth it. Every bit of flavor you can ask for with a little bit of hazelnut. Definitely hit the spot, colorful mouth full of juicy fresh fruit with that coconut base first time sitting in here you can just feel the beach vibes And the service friendly every time I walk in. 5 outta 5 read more

Playa Bowls - Coco Coconut Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

They need to appreciate their customer especially someone ordering for three years spending over one hundred dollar a week never getting rewards of any kind because I order on DoorDash app I call and ask for add on of almond butter so they put drizzle and tell me I am asking for something for free because if they fill little cup I don't ask for free I can order extra on add on there is no button allowing you to do that so wanted to reach corporate I think I deserve extra drizzle my god I get the bowl for my grandson I can use Lakewood store they are nice and appreciate the customer they just rude free he'll read more

The customer service needs to improve. Bedside manner needs to be worked on. I'm an adult and don't like to be talked down to.

charge me for extra drizzle in cup heck spend over 100 dollars a week you even at times shorten the bowls I had to call about it don't be rude to steady customer for about 3 years I spend money there heck little extra squirt what his that change the app for add ins and maybe it won't be lain I always wanted the 100 charge and you can't do it and why don't you use other store well their add one cost little more so they better fill the cup read more

This location consistently provides poor customer service. I'm never greeted when I walk in the staff just stare as if I'm inconveniencing them by walking in. When I come in to pick up my mobile orders, I usually have to say "excuse me" multiple times and still get ignored. I've waited over 10 minutes multiple times for someone to assist me, while staff stand around on their phones sometimes even wearing gloves, which they then continue to use to prepare our bowls. GROSS! As for the orders themselves, the quality is disappointing. Every time I order online, the drizzle is placed underneath the fruit instead of on top, which defeats the purpose...? This time, I found about five maybe 7 banana slices total in my entire bowl on one side. It was not busy and there was no rush. I had also customized the bowl by removing three items and adding two, yet I was still charged extra how does that make sense when I'm getting less? read more

Playa Bowls - Nica Bowl... - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

I ordered online. was almost served after waiting on the pickup line in store for 20 minutes by a brat that insisted I step aside for a Grub Hub delivery person that came in just before I came to the front of the pick-up line. When I stopped him from stepping in front of me the brat yelled: "We show respect in here". and promptly attended the Grub Hubber. When i told her I had been there long before the Grub Hubber she ignored me until I asked her to cancel my order and she immediately returned to me. The food preparation area was disgusting with the staff repeatedly using obviously dirty washcloths on food preparation counters and scratching their heads so as to add flavorful dandruff. On the way out of the store the Grub Hubber held the door open for me. I am a 35 year resident of Toms River but will now travel to Lavalette Playa Bowls. read more

Playa Bowls - Nutella Acai Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

Love playa bowls but the girls who work up front are very rude ... never a good experience with them.

Where is the Nutella in this? This is simply a nutelloco bowl. NOTHING, none. and when I asked the girl behind the counter, she says they will not put it on top since it's A To Go order, otherwise she's gonna have to charge me extra to put it on top. won't be coming back to this location. All other locations are so much better than this one. read more

Playa Bowls - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

This is a reliably great PlayaBowls. The place is big and has outdoor seating. Lots of seating, good for larger groups. There's usually a steady flow of people coming and going. The place is quiet there is free WiFi if you want it hangout. The employers are really nice local kids. They take and make your order quickly. I usually get a tide bowl with a booster base and other customizations. I also love that this location still offers Poke bowls because others locations nearby don't have them anymore. read more

Playa Bowls - Salmon Avocado Bowl plus cucumbers - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

I was very disappointed with yesterday's visit to PLaya. We were in the area car shopping when my teenaged daughter asked to pop in Playa. I love going to Playa, especially when it's warmer out, there's such a summer feel to the place. My wife and daughter ordered bowls, I ordered a chocolate, peanut butter and banana shake. The banana they used in my shake was green, they didn't blend it longer than 5 secs to blend the pb in, the whole bottom of my cup was full of unblended peanut butter. So to sum it up, my wife and daughter enjoyed their bowls, I usually enjoy my food. The taste of my shake was ruined by a green banana and unblended pb. read more

we usually love the fruit bowls but it's was very different today. the achi didn't taste right the strawberries were over ripe and wet the walnuts were almost uneatable ( like old) there was hardly any peanut butter . it was topped with mostly granola. it was like they were cutting costs gonna go somewhere else. the manager told us it's not a franchise any more. it's corporate run now read more

Went for the first time and loved my California Bowl. Also got an acai bowl w drizzle of Nutella. All fruits and vegetables were fresh and delicious. The people who worked there were very nice. I can't wait to go back - fresh and healthy food! Not cheap prices but they give you good quality and quantity. read more

This is such a cute Playa bowl location. An amazing indoor and outdoor place to sit. I was waited on by Shelby and she was so nice and friendly. She made a great juice selection and I loved it. Will be coming back to this location. read more

Got food poisoning from the poke bowl I had here, it was unfortunate because other than that I had a good experience with the staff.

Love Playa Bowls! This location is a little hard to get to but once you know where it is you will be there all the time! The service at this location is always friendly and the new summer menu is SOO yummy! I've been stuck on the coco cold brew and my favorite smoothie (from their everyday menu) is the Dang with a little strawberry added! Ok now I'm hungry, see you soon! read more

Fast service, quality bowl, the menus are the same at all locations to the best of my Knowledge but the seating and decor is amazing at this location, especially nice outdoor seating! read more

great place Caitlin was very helpful at the register and answered all my questions politely and promptly

I went here today and I ordered a coco berry and it took forever to be made. There was 8 people in front of me and all of their orders were made before mine. I was really disappointed because I found it ridiculous that there were more than 6 people working and they couldn't make my order? I soon had an enough and went up to them and they were confused and gave me the wrong order. Overall not the best experience but the cashier was nice about it. read more

Absolutely love this place. The fruit bowls alone are amazing but what makes this location 5 stars worthy are their poke bowl. My favorite is the original tunabowl but the spicy one is a close second. The fish is super fresh and sushi grade. Both their fruit and poke bowls are big and filling and make a meal. And they are arranged prettily, a total Instagram worthy. Go and try them all! read more

Playa Bowls - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

At first I didn't get the appeal behind this when the first local location opened. But then I finally tried it...loved it ever since!! The inside of each storefront I have been to has a chill vibe & clean. My two fave spots so far are Toms River & Sea Girt. Majority of staff encountered have been friendly. The monthly stickers are also a cool touch. My bowl of choice is the Nica...I get a dual base of banana & pitaya; no walnuts - pineapple instead with extra granola. The granola mix is really good. I do agree with another reviewer, depending on who adds the "extra" granola sometimes there is extra & sometimes not. It is the only reason for 4/5 stars, since there is a charge for ordering extra of an ingredient. read more

Amazing staff they are always so pleasant and friendly. And obviously the bowls are always delicious I'm addicted to them! When I'm too lazy to make them at home (which is 99% of the time) I go to playa and just 1 of their bowls lasts me like 2-3 days. I just pop it in the freezer and it's still just as good the second time around after you let it thaw for a bit. read more

The children in their always the order wrong. The male with the accent never changes his gloves and makes your order after scrolling through on his phone. This place has gone down hill!!!! read more

If I ever want to treat myself during a work week lunch, this is the place! I love their poke bowl with salmon. So good, so filling, and really delicious! I mean really.. the salmon is the best. You have to try it! The one thing I do miss is the coffee from Cold Surf. The cold brew is not as good as it once was, so I think I'll stick to the poke bowls and playa bowls. read more

My favorite playa bowl location! They have good portions, only downside is that they can be inconsistent with them, especially add ons. For example, if you ask for extra toppings, some days they'll give you a lot and sometimes they won't give you any extra. It's understandable for busy days or if you order later in the day but it's still something I hope they work on. read more

I wish I was joking when I say these are all the strawberries I had to take out of my playa bowl I ordered today. I actually cannot believe that someone would actually think this is okay to serve and I work in the food business too. I would much rather them tell me the strawberries are not good today and leave them out or be offered to order something different. I always go to the Lacey location and they are awesome but this Toms River location was bad today. Even if it was a new employee training I just don't understand how someone would actually think any of this is edible. This was absolutely disgusting. They offered me a full refund over the phone which I do appreciate. But this was really gross. read more

Playa Bowls - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

We came in today for the first tome because I was craving something fresh since we just drove up from GA eating fast food the entire way ‍. The customer service was great! We ordered the California and the Salmon poke bowls and they were seriously what we wanted. We also ordered a toasted marshmallow latte that was amazing compared to your typical *bucks drink. Loved our experience there today. read more

My first time here and it was an EXCELLENT experience. Service was fast, the bowl was delicious, plentiful and reasonably priced. Also the restaurant was clean, comfortable and decorated tastefully. Thanks Playa bowl, i'll be back! read more

Toms River Location, waited 10 minutes for an online order, completely ignored while waiting in pick up line, then my order was literally only 1/2 filled with Açaí , if I wasn't in a hurry, I would have went back in and had them remake it read more

The interior is very cozy! I got the chia pudding with granola, blueberries, goji berries, and strawberries. It was very good. There are so many options to choose from and it appears that everything is customizable! The only downside is the price, but for an occasional treat it's definitely worth it! I look forward to going back and trying something new. read more

Playa Bowls - the jetty - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

I love this place! Atmosphere, people, quality, cleanliness and most importantly the bowls!!

Me and my family had the worst experience ever at this Playa Bowls. My child ordered a bowl and just wanted to substitute somethings and the cashier was so inept that she had to repeat herself five times and she STILL didn't receive what she asked for. My other kid was too disgusted by her bowl to even finish. The strawberries were old and mushy and the banana base was revolting. Do NOT come here! Pick another location if you want Playa. read more

I love you Playa Bowl. To those who read this you may or may not be able to ride this train of joy unless you've experienced that something that brought you satisfaction from a loooooong time craving that's been hanging around for years. That Electric Mermaid made a tear come to my eye because that loooooong time (i mean years)craving for something fruity and delicious like that has come to an end FINALLY! I couldn't believe it! I took my first bite and exhaled with a tear in my eye. The years of craving all of these flavours packed into one bowl was over. Thank you Playa Bowl. ...OH annnnd sorry for the weird phone call that said I loved you and that you brought tears to my eyes. #iwanttomarrypitaya read more

Playa Bowls - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

Popped into the Lacey location for lunch with my dog recently. They gave him some blended up banana, which he was happy with. I got a poke bowl. It took a bit to make, but everything was fresh and crisp. The bowl was arranged so that the veggies would stay crunchy until you wanted them mixed in. There was a good amount of everything, it was seasoned well, and was a perfect lunch portion. The place was clean, and I look forward to trying the smoothie bowls soon. The only downside to their poke bowls, are that I would love one or two more options. The staples are covered, but just a couple more combos to fill things out would be perfect. read more

Amazing fresh fruit bowls, great atmosphere and awesome coffee. Nice place to come out and chill out during a hot summer day or after a work out. read more

Have seen this place over and over again traveling up and down 37. Of course you say to yourself I'm gonna go there someday. Well that someday was today. Drop the car off at Nissan so I ventured out instead of waiting in the waiting room. Right across 37 from Nissan is Playa bowls. I thought this place was salads and stuff. I was wrong. Its different bowls they have that are made with acai base, pitaya, kale and coconut. You can get granola, blueberries, strawberries, bananas , mangos, Nutella and so much more to list. They have poke bowls that are more for a lunch. The classic shoyu ahi tuna bowl for instance is made with soy marinated wild ahi tuna, scallions, sesame, seaweed, cucumber, sweet onion, radish, carrots and avocado. I had the power bowl with a booster smoothie. I am not one that eats healthy all the time so this was different. The bowl is coconut based with granola bananas vanilla protein coconut flakes and almond butter. The bowl was very good after I mixed all the ingredients together. The smoothie wasn't tasty at first once the peanut butter kicked in then I liked it. Overall I had a good experience here. If your looking to eat healthy playa bowls is a great place. read more

Playa Bowls - Front counter - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Toms River, New Jersey

I have family in the area so I go to the Playa Bowl in Island Hgts a lot but when this one opened it was more convenient and a lot bigger so I started going there. It's a really nice location but I have been treated so rude by a girl with a red tattoo on her arm! Every single time I go she is just so rude to us. She was even rude to the other workers in front of me. Idk who she is but I will not be returning! I'll be going back to Island Hgts where the girls are beyond friendly and remember my order! 3 stars are for cleanliness, and food only! read more

The girls who work at this store are always extremely nice and they're all wearing masks properly during covid which is sooo important to me! I'm grateful I can still pickup playa bowls for takeout and feel safe the entire time I'm in the store. They even have social distancing guide marks on the floor and I've never had any issues with other customers disobeying the rules here. read more
