Located close to the Weehawken reservoir in Union City on the Palisade Ave, this outlet is a bit away from the hustle and bustle of the busy union city area close to the Jersey City! The atmosphere is cool with the music setting up vibe for a pleasant dining experience! The servers are friendly too with a warm smile but didn't seem to offer a particular opinion about the recommendations! I went for a goldie mango bowl which had mango at the bottom, topped with granola, bananas, strawberry and Nutella! The mango paste did seem a bit sweet as in terms of extra added sugar which shouldn't be there as they market themselves as a healthy restaurant. The ingredients were definitely fresh and the cost though seemed to be a bit on the higher side given the location! Overall a good experience for me but not sure about returning soon as there could be better options offering the same thing in my neighborhood of Jersey city! read more

I always order from here from uber eats and they always forget to pack half of my order. I don't blame uber since the bags are always stapled. So management: do a better job with how deliveries are handled and please be generous with the nutella. Love the playa bowls but this needs to improve. So if you order pick up, ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ORDER, most likely something will be missing :( read more

Playa Bowls - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Union City, New Jersey

Sat down with my boyfriend and little sister to try and enjoy your playa bowls. All we heard was the staff talking loudly amongst each other. Speaking bad about other co workers who weren't even present. Not an enjoyable experience at all. Music was inappropriate too. read more

I greatly enjoyed my açaí bowl! I ordered off Uber Eats and added peanut butter and they followed the directions perfectly. I was not able to finish the whole bowl because it is pretty large. Would recommend! read more

Visited this store fir the first time last week, I arrived a little after they opened, there was no line, and the service was quick. I ordered the stupid Cupid and it was delicious, the bowls are definitely filling and you can share with someone else. The ingredients were all fresh and the store is very clean. You can also check their Facebook page for a BOGO coupon. I will return in the future. read more

Playa Bowls - Stupid Cupid. I substituted the coconut flakes and cacao nibs for bananas and almond butter. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Union City, New Jersey

A new addition to Union city. Went in here tonight to try the much talked about acai bowl. Ordered nutella acai bowl- 11$ and gogi pittaya bowl- 11$. Serving size was decent. Taste was good. It was pretty crowded for 9:30 pm. They have 2 small tables outside for seating. My only complaint is there are very unorganised. We had to wait for 10 mins to place the order as there was no one behind the ordering counter. Also the people who ordered after us recieved their order before us. It took them about 20 minutes to prepare our order. Given that they are a new branch, opened last week - I would try them again read more

Decent playa bowl. Not as tasty as other playa bowl stores in the area. Not much else to say about this place. Okay experience. Conveniently located on a corner where you can double park and go in to get a quick bowl. read more

My sister in law is an Açaí fan, she's a reoccurring customer here . She keeps going to give them the benefit of the doubt . Today was the last straw, she simply asked for Nutella and strawberries.we've gotten Nutella before but it's usually spread out the bowl this time it was one block in the middle of the bowl . The strawberries tasted rancid and looked mushy. We did not expect this from a new store . Disappointed read more

The best bowls! Best cold brew as well. Staff has been super friendly and accommodating. It's been pleasant coming here. Thanks y'all read more

DO NOT ask Noelia and crew for extra almond butter .. lol .... They charge you (I get that) then don't put enough .... Then when u ask for a lil more they say "nah, put enough". Lol. Went back to try again , asked for extra almond butter.. and they charged me double !!!!! 15$. Hint : you can buy the stuff frozen in ShopRite and make it yourself ,,,, WITH extra almond butter --- lol. These kids gotta learn a lil basic math (cost of 75 cent almond butter opposed to loss of 13$ bowl) and a lil customer courtesy........... read more

Food is amazing! Great service, while ordering, employees were super kind and welcoming. The whole atmosphere was nice and calm. Totally recommend for a sweet healthy treat! read more

Amo playa bowls pero esta ubicación tiene muy mala atención, tuve la mala experiencia de que me atendiera súper mal un chico con lentes. Solo por eso le doy 1 estrella. read more

Suuuuuper cute and tasty. Love it and will be back! I got the electric mermaid!!! Mmmmm!!!! Free wifi :)

Horrible customer service & mediocre product. I stopped in for a smoothie and got back a glass of creamed ice in a cup. I asked for a replacement asking this time to use less ice and was told there was no ice used and that the banana is the only frozen item. So I asked if it was possible for her to make the same smoothie without using the banana. She was reluctant but did with a hesitant attitude. In the end, the second smoothie was even worse than the first. So I ended up asking for a refund and was told she was not able to do so. This place has obvious no desire to offer a good product nor do they care to satisfy a paying customer. read more

The fruit in the strawberry + blueberry bowl was nice, but the dish overall was repulsively sweet. It's like they don't trust the material and feel they have to tart it up to get you to like it. Disappointing waste of $10. Next time I'll grab an ice cream from the bodega. read more

Food is great, love their bowls. However, the kids that work there are rude af. Every time I come in, so type of stuff. Just piss attitudes. Completely ruins the experience of choosing Playa and discredits the story behind this place... So hard for people to have basic manners these days. Classless read more

The Bowls they serve are good. The interior not only looks good, but also very informative. Customer service is professional. And their serving speed is fast. read more

The worst customer service. The rudest staff walked around working on online orders ignoring customers standing face to face. Multi tasking seems to be too hard. I left and went to Shakin' instead of standing there waiting to be acknowledged. read more

I have gotten the green smoothie a few times from here , it's so yummy! I would definitely recommend it to others it's a very nice space and super clean! read more

So I arrive to Playa Bowls at 9:50 and the workers inform me that they are already closed. I mean I get it, they have to clean up for the night but the website says 10pm is when they closed. I go at around this same time all the time and never had an issue. The door wasn't locked so I walked in expected to be taken care of. I recommend the hours online to be changed for the future because someone like me who drove quite a distance to get it was a little aggravated to find out they had closed before the time online initially states. read more

Workers aren't friendly especially the cashier. She just gives a dry "hi". Portions seem smaller than other locations. But it tastes good.

cancelled my order for no reason. i was excited to get playa bowls after eating nothing today. now, i am hungry and playa bowless. if they couldn't do takeout, they shouldn't have given me the option. i'm eating my playa bowl as i write this in disappointment. just kidding, i didn't get my playa bowl because they cancelled it. read more

So glad playa opened in union city!! Love it! Great atmosphere and always a quick line! Always my go to!!
