Coincidentally, I will be going to the Playa Bowls in Burtonsville today for lunch! I love Playa…read moreBowls (see my 5-star review of the Burtonsville one). That's the only location within 10 miles of my home. The only other location of Playa Bowls I've been to was the Baltimore County one by Quarry Lake. Yesterday, I reviewed the out of town P pick in 2025 alphabet series. Representing the runner up to the out of town pick, P is for Playa Bowls. I visited this location on Friday, December 26. I had a deal for a free peppermint iced coffee with bowl purchase. I had visited my parents in PA for Christmas and was coming back into town. I saw this location wasn't too far off 695. I had never been to Quarry Lake and is a nice area. I was here for one of those weird very late lunch around 4 PM, but I wanted the deal and the timing was right. It was pretty dead around here as it was the day after Christmas. I parked in a parallel spot right in the front; they also have a parking lot in the back. Staff was nice. I paid for some strawberry bowl with peppermint to get the free seasonal iced coffee. They didn't have any issue getting the deal to work. I waited at one of their seats near the food station. This location is a lot bigger than the Burtonsville one. They made the bowl first, and then they said we're out of the flavoring for the coffee, so it'd just be a black coffee. I said that wasn't the same as what I wanted or paid for. They apologized saying that their shipments come in on Thursday, but it was Christmas so shipments didn't come. So, it made sense why they were out. But I think perhaps they could've been more prepared and gotten extra shipment on Thursday, 12/18. They did say I could switch out for a smoothie. I said I don't want a smoothie, I'm already having this fruity bowl. He said I could pick any drink I wanted. I got some juice cleanse drink that was normally $8.99. I figured that could be good for me plus I wanted to ideally get their most expensive tier drink in lieu of not getting the iced coffee. The bowl was delicious per normal. Fresh strawberries, banana, granola, chocolate, peppermint, etc. all great. As for the juice drink, it was some cayenne fruit juice. It was kind of weird, had a bit of a kick, not my cup of tea. I drank it, but really would've liked the iced coffee better. Thankfully, I had some water in the car to wash down the strange juice. So, I was kind of annoyed. They should've known and warned me before I paid. I'm not sure I would've gone with Playa Bowl if they had been out of the coffee; that the catalyst to go down there was the free iced coffee deal. In spite of that negative, like Burtonsville location, the bowls are great, staff is nice, and they did try to accommodate with free any drink.

I have come to this location numerous times. The service seems to decline…read more I walked in and happen to spot all the workers seated outside of the prep area socializing amongst one another on cells. The male and 2 others went to the prep area. I ordered 2 pacific bowls with modifications. While ordering I saw a cut up banana that started turning brown and cut up strawberries on the prep area that should be thrown away. It appeared they were going to use them in my bowls. I had to quickly let them know not use them on my bowls. When I did that, the young man had a silent attitude shown by body movement. The bowls came up quickly and correct. I would say stay alert with this location

I never knew they changed. The 12 oz doesnt come with, granola, honey and coconut. Each addition would cost $.75 extra with the 12oz. Therefore, I got the 24oz and finished it all. The acai bowl was delicious. The only issue was the staff (2 females and 1 male) were very loudly talking and laughing. One female took her hair down and put it back up while in the food prep area. There was a customer waiting at the cash register and the crew continued conversing and not even greeting. At some point the female went to take the order. Other than the lack of control with being very loud, my bowl was great. They also sell soups, and fresh juices. Dont worry about parking as there is plenty of parking space.

My only gripe was that it was about a 20 minute wait for two smoothie bowls. I'm gonna chalk that up to (1) them still being new and figuring out their crowd/demands and (2) the fact that everything is made to order. Major pros are the variety of fresh and dietary-friendly ingredients. They have a couple of things other smoothie bowl places in the area don't like agave, blue spirulina, and coconut water. They also offer a variety of sizes from kid to XL bowls - something for each craving size and price range. I had the green base and it was so yummy. The kiwi & banana really took it home. I can't wait to get another. I also tried the purple which was also good - flavor wise it's your standard açaí bowl, what you can expect to find most places. I would like to try a salad during my next visit but I want to see them first - they seem a bit pricey to me but Im hoping they're worth it.

He doesn't usually enjoy many healthy options, but he surprisingly enjoyed his smoothie. Shortly after tasting it, he decided to order the hazelnut butter toast, which he devoured halfway down the street--definitely a testament to its quality. We had the pleasure of meeting the store owner, Daye, who was very personable. She asked how we found the location, and of course, we mentioned Yelp.
