Apparently Playa is well known on the east coast and my friend who was visiting saw there was one…read morenear, so we went. Playa Bowls is in a great location amongst a busy street to stop by if you're looking for a snack. The space isn't really meant for sitting and dining in, but there are some options to sit down for the quick bite. It can also get a bit loud with all the blending (to be expected!) I was impressed you could add quite a bit if you wanted. There are a great bit of options to mix and match, but I decided to go with a classic strawberry, banana, and Nutella. The açaí tasted exactly like the açaí served at Costco. It was decent enough and my friend's was similar, but oof, the prices aren't worth it. If I'm in a pinch and want something different than a smoothie, I'll consider stopping by again. But I can't say I'd really make coming back here a priority. It's stuff I can make at home for an eighth of the price.

BLUF: Came here for a quick takeaway lunch. Would come again…read more Food (5/5): We got the California Love & The Chronic. Both delicious! Both were moist and full of flavor. The wraps come on a bed of kale and some grapes(?). They're SOUR if you eat them alone, but all together, DELICIOUS. Service (5/5): Very fast service. Limited interaction. Most people were picking up online orders. Ambiance (5/5): Window seats are available for dine-in, but it's like 6 barstools. This is definitely a grab-and-go/order online place. There's standing room to wait. Very easy and simple ordering. It's close to a lot of stores and other places to eat, so it's a perfect lunch-break place!

I love the specialty coffee drinks especially. It's nice and clean - there are various areas to sit including couches, comfy chairs, regular tables and chairs, etc. My pistachio latte and oatmeal were great - a little on the $$$$ side, but still good and the atmosphere helped. Baristas/employees were a bit on the unpleasant side unfortunately. Maybe it was an off day?

Service is pretty quick so you can double park outside and grab n go if you need. Loved the decor as its bright with tons of plants The acai itselfi was on the sweeter side and having all the toppings makes it difficult to pick out the acai flavor. The bowl looks aesthetic and is put together nicely and neatly but I would probably opt to select individual toppings for my next bowl Overall felt pretty pricey for a 16oz cup which was very difficult to eat out of with the rounded lid and tiny spoon
