Today it was smooth sailing into the parking spot and in the store. I entered a clean and very neat establishment. I walked to the counter to have the cashier having a full converation with a friend and didnt worry about his job or my time standing there while his friend yapped. His friend was like Im sorry and scooted over to allow me to order. I ordered an original acai bowl. It was made and handed to me within a reasonable time. I indulged with happiness in the perfect tasting acai bowl. For the price of over $10 it was tiny. I need a larger one for this price.

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 had a taste for an acai bowl. Looked and decided after 7pm to take a 20 minute ride to this…read morelocation that states it open until 10pm. Its located in the perfect relaxed scenic portion of the Quarry. When I arrived it was a constant flow of patrons at 8pm. Parking isnt chaotic as its plenty from the front to the back. (Two entrance doors for this eatery) Walking in had a feel of being on an oceanfront with the wall decor and choice of colors. The menu of acai bowl options are many. I chose the tropical bowl without really paying attention; thinking it was the most popular one where ever you go. To receive it and its the original base with pineapple, bananas, honey and coconut flakes. It was the perfect acai bowl and tasty. The failure of me paying attention meant great taste of another choice I would probably not have decided on. The light and perfect treat that will have me coming back to Playa Bowls no matter the time.

Was quoted 10-15 min time frame for it to be ready. For there around 15 min after placing the order. Looks like it was under staffed. Had about 5 people inside waiting and only one person inside making smoothies. He tried his best but could not keep up. I had to wait an additional 10 minutes for my order to bee ready. Not too bad since I wasn't in a rush but I could see some of the other people waiting were annoyed. I won't hold it against them too much so I will return.

I will be back when I am visiting the shopping center but, hopefully the store will be much cleaner.

It's really a shame how poor service and management can ruin a restaurant…read more For many years I have enjoyed First Watch. I have patronized numerous locations. I have been going to their Pikesville location for 4 years. NOT ANYMORE! Let's start with the rude man who is the Host/cashier. He seats folks however he feels like rather than when they came in. Today was the last draw! He sat two women who came in after I did before me. Say what you will but "coincidentally" they were black and so is he! The feckless manager offered no help. This arrogant front man is mishandling his position while the manager retreats to the kitchen. I know several customers who have abandoned the Pikesville location for the Owings Mills facility. I previously wondered why, but not anymore. THE PIKESVILLE FIRST WATCH IS DETERIORATING!

My coworkers go through the daily dilemma of figuring out what's for lunch, so guess what we had…read moretoday? Yep. I totally had no idea that this place did anything but smoothies, so I was curious once I heard that they also do salads, wraps and flat breads. I decided on the Green Goddess flatbread with "plant-based protein", and a Strawberry Chia Lemonade Smoothie. I still have no idea what the "plant-based protein" might be (seitan? soy?) The sandwich also included spinach, tomatoes, avocado, parmesan cheese and green goddess sauce, but the tomatoes were awful. Hard, pale, flavorless and awful. But overall, the sandwich was decent. I was pretty disappointed by the smoothie, however. Not so great for a smoothie spot. The drink itself was fairly bland, probably due to the amount of ice that they probably use for volume. My takeaway is that I would consider ordering the flatbread again, but I'll take my smoothie business to the "King".

It is located in the foundry Road shopping center. They do not have any dedicated parking just for Panera so you will have to park in the lot behind it or get lucky enough for one of the few spaces in front. It wasn't very crowded so I did not have to wait to place my order. I got the half portion size tuna salad sandwich, and cup of French onion soup for my father. I saw that they have the French dip back on the menu so that's what I ordered. I tried to be a little bit healthier and got a apple instead of chips with it. Inside it was clean and after placing my order, I went to the takeout window to wait for it. It was prepared pretty quickly in about 10 minutes. When I got home with my food, I noticed that the Apple was the smallest Apple I have ever seen. It made me regret my decision on not getting the chips. The food otherwise was decent. Sense it was a few minutes before I got home. My sandwich needed to be reheated as well as the sauce.
