    I'm really torn on how to rate this experience...1.5 stars perhaps? We stopped in for smoothies after several hours of softball practice - smoothies would hit the spot! Upon entering the location, we noted how dirty it was outside around the building entrance. Trash overflowing in both the trashcan and the ashtray (photo). When we got inside, same situation. Trash and food all over the floor and behind the counter and it smelled like burnt food. The stools were strewn about and the straw containers were empty, except for the one on the right of the counter, which had 3 straws. There were 4 customers inside, sitting at one table and 2 employees working - 1 on food, the other making smoothies. It took several minutes to get our orders in...the smoothies were very good and a very generous size. I cant say much about the service except it was slow but we barely had interaction with him besides placing our order and paying. The trash and unkempt appearance was really offputting...but the smoothies were good (one Sunshine and one acai with protein added).

    Barley any lettuce and no tomatoes..

    Smoothies taste great but food was not cooked to order and missing ingredients from menu. Typically they write the add on ingredients on the smoothie cup so you know you get what your paying for and this time non had marks on the cups.. with the food being wrong makes me wonder if I even got my extra B-12 or kale pack added to my smoothie..

    Nice banana....

    Food is really good but it's quite literally the single slowest restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life.

    Couldn't make any food because the "oven is off" ok... turn it on? Is it broken? I guess I'll go somewhere else for lunch?

    They do not rinse their spinach. Chicken cooked in plastic bags in microwave. Every thing has sugar and water in it.

    Service was fantastic. The menu is a little confusing. Too many smoothies.....The ones we got were lacking in flavor.

    My daughter and I went to Playa Bowls for an after dinner dessert treat. They are open until 8pm so…read morethe timing is perfect. We each tried one playa bowl. My daughter loves the Açaí Nutella bowl...she gets it very time...and I don't blame her...it is so good! I however like to try something new. This time I tried a half & half. You can get two different smoothie bases in one bowl and select any bowl topping. I tried the Nutella Bowl with half mango and half Açaí. It was so delicious! I enjoyed this so much because of the multiple flavors, and textures. The fresh fruit, the crunchy granola, and the sweet Nutella are the perfect dessert! Both the açaí and mango bases are sweet, which I love, but I could imagine pairing a less sweet base, like the banana, with a more sweet base like mango. I'll have to try that next time. Also just have to say that the bowls/toppings are exactly as shown on their website/in app...it is really amazing how the photo and the real thing match exactly. Very impressive quality control! They do have a loyalty program...which I just signed up for today (probably should have done this sooner), and a mobile app for mobile ordering. I only gone there in the evening and it has not been busy so our order was ready really fast every time, but I could see using the mobile ordering during busier times.

    If you flip your smoothie upside down (the old DQ Blizzard Test) and it doesn't fall out... that's…read moremy kind of smoothie. I want it so thick that it's only very nearly impossible to suck up through a straw. Also, it can't taste only like bananas. And finally, it can't have chunks. So, so many places in Greater Portland just don't have what I'm personally looking for (creamy, flavorful, and thiiiiiiiiiiick)... but Playa Bowls does. Listen, I know they're a chain, and I know they're way too trendy for someone like me, but the smoothies are done right here. I've tried a couple: 1. Orange Power (orange, pineapple, coconut milk, sub their usual protein powder for the vanilla plant protein powder instead): It's like a creamsicle from when you were a kid! I would really like to try other smoothies, but this just keeps being my go to. Sure, it can be a little gritty from the protein powder, so if that's not something you're used to heads-up. I am, so it's barely noticeable. The 90's called and they want their summer back, and I'm here for it! 2. The Dang (banana, wheat grass powder, peanut butter, cinnamon, almond milk): I wouldn't usually order something like this, but it was so much better than I was expecting. Rich, earthy while still being subtly sweet, and really hearty for a smoothie if that makes sense. Absolutely would reorder! I think the two biggest challenges/negatives here are that a) the music can be overwhelmingly loud (if you get sensory overload, prepare yourself) and b) the wait times can be loooonnnnnnnnng. I've seen some people on other Playa Bowl listings across the country complain about the price, but here in the 207 some of you are paying $10 for two bites of an overpriced hand roll. I'd much rather pay $9 (16 ounce) to $11 (20 ounce) for a filling smoothie. And they're currently open 8am to 8pm. Where else can you get a smoothie past 4pm in Maine? Go ahead, I'll wait. #WelcomeToPineappleLand
