But we're hungry and walking around to see what else was around while waiting and this gem we stumbled upon.

I had the avocado toast with a hard boiled egg...shoulda got 2 eggs. Wife got a tomato, mozzarella with prosciutto toast. All were delicious and presentation was first class. Hopefully this spot makes it and we can come back for another meal.

In addition, the juice was a complimented the meal. I was worried that I would still be hungry, but it actually filled me up. Thanks Toastique, I will be back!

Additionally, we ordered ice cream, and that took about another hour to come out. Our waiter told us that he was the only one making the ice cream and that no one else was helping him.

This place is FANTASTIC. First of all, I have never really been a fan of green juices, however…read moretheir Good Morning Greens is so refreshing and delicious. Also, the TROPICAL GREEN SMOOTHIEEEEEE. I had to put it in all caps because it was fantastic. The burgers and fries....... I am not sure how the burgers are completely plant based because they taste like real beef. I just learned that they are no longer serving from the grill which is a bummer but I will be on the lookout for their pop-ups! The service is always so kind and helpful. I love that they always ask when I have a taste for or what my favorite flavors are. They know their products and are able to steer your in the right direction. Also the place is bright and shiny. Then light shines right into the windows and it feels great to nourish my body and mind in the sunlight. I highly recommend.

First time getting açaí in some years, and my first time at Playa! I had a great time. The decor is…read moreso cute and fun. The menu is clear and lays out what you'll be getting. Another huge plus is that there is a free parking garage across the street street for the retail spaces, so that was nice to not have to worry about that. I got the Nutella Açaí bowl and an oatmeal bowl for my friend as part of their BOGO deal. We love a good coupon over here!! The açaí wasn't as sweet as I wanted, but the Nutella was a great addition. If I come back I would add more toppings and try the pitaya. I will say the bowl was smaller than I was expecting so unless you get a smoothie or the oatmeal bowl don't expect to be full from eating one bowl. Customer service was very good, no issues there at all. Overall it was very good and I would def go back!

Playa Bowls is officially opening in Towson, Maryland!…read more I got a sneak peek before the grand opening -- and I'm obsessed with everything from the cozy, beachy space to the fresh fruits and colorful ingredients in every bowl and smoothie. Their menu is packed with tropical flavors featuring 7 base options -- like açaí, mango, pitaya, coconut & more -- all topped with fresh fruit, granola, honey, and other delicious add-ons. From my visit, here are a few favorites I highly recommend: PB & JAMMIN' Açaí Bowl (fall seasonal special) Mucho Mango Bowl - refreshing, fruity, and sunshine in a bowl Aloha Smoothie - made with banana, mango, pineapple & coconut milk And don't forget to grab one of their freshly pressed juices before you head out -- perfect for a quick pick-me-up!

Let's start with the good. Upon arrival we were greeted by the male cook and a younger female. They…read morewere nice and didn't rush us to make a choice. They answered questions and explained that the menu is as is with customizations changing the price slightly. I asked the man if I was allowed to change anything on my tacos because my dad isn't the hugest fan of cilantro or onion and the tacos only come with those toppings in addition to radish and cucumber (which he also doesn't care for). The man told me he would be able to customize it to my liking I would just have the let the younger girl know when she's ready. There was another girl at the cashier which is told the order by the workers in addition to my self so everyone is on the same page. The menu was rather large with plenty of options but I order a few of their items which were the street tacos (Steak, Ground Beef, Chicken), a steak quesadilla and al pastor enchiladas. The set up was Chipotle style so that's an added reason as to why I would think it's okay to customize my meal the way I want. But when I get to the cashier with the heavier set girl she had nothing but ATTITUDE with myself and my mother. At first I thought it was because I was darker skinned. The cashier was noticeably nicer, more warm and helpful towards all the white and the lighter skinned hispanic customers but with me it was a short tone, hesitation or she just flat out ignored me until she acknowledged me. Then on top of that, she had an attitude because she kept saying I couldn't customize my meal after we had already paid even though the younger girl ASKED me what I wanted on my food. So why is it that now my food is paid for I can't even get it the way I want? That's lowkey stealing because had I known I couldn't even get any of my meals customized to my liking I wouldn't have even spent my money. Furthermore I'm Puerto Rican, I speak Spanish and my mother speaks Spanish so I thought maybe if we showed the girl we have communality ( same language) she would provide better service but nope she just doubled down on the stores "policy" even though the male cook and the younger girl told me I could customize it. Then to add fuel to the fire, the food wasn't even flavorful. NONE of it was. So not only was the cashier rude, condescending, and created an overall unpleasant experience. The food was completely bland. Even the Pico was missing that classic pico taste. Nothing was overcooked, everything was cooked to temperature but every single meal was reported as bland and tasteless from each person in my group. Extremely disappointing.

The place is nice and spacious, it wasn't super crowded at 7pm, and they were fast with our order…read moreand were very nice. I got their tacos al pastor and I absolutely loved them (maybe you can tell by the picture of my half eaten plate) - the meat was tender and juicy, the tortillas were soft but not falling apart, and their red sauce gave it a nice kick. I did also order the chips and salsa - the chips were great but the salsa wasn't the usual tomato "salsa" you get for chips which is the only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars. If I'm ever back in Baltimore you better bet I'm coming back here!

Finding street parking nearby was quick and convenient, and upon entering, I was immediately impressed by the vibrant, energetic, and colorful interior. While the customer service was excellent, the beverage unfortunately fell short of expectations. I ordered the **Açaí Energy smoothie ($10)** and found it remarkably bland. It was difficult to tell if this was a one-off preparation issue or if it was made according to the standard recipe, but it did not deliver the flavor profile expected for the price point. While I highly appreciate the welcoming staff and inviting atmosphere, I likely won't be returning to purchase this item again.

Our waitress was patient and able to score us a booster seat for the one toddler. It's a brunch place with lots of options, including some swanky juices and smoothies. I got the seasonal Tangerine Dream which was like a delightful creamsicle - would get again. The kiddos destroyed their pancakes and eggs (Child #1 has never met a fried egg he didn't love). I enjoyed the Farmhouse Hash, which seemed like a safe bet and it didn't disappoint. Maybe next time I'll try the Market Hash, which is a little more vegetable-forward and less potato-focused. This was a good mid-point to meet some friends and I'm not in Hunt Valley often, but I would definitely come back.

My family enjoys Shake Shack, we wind up here at least once a month…read more What's good: *Fries. One of the few vegan items they have. The whole family requires an order of these *My son loves the grilled cheese. *Milkshakes. The kids are in to these and there are a lot of flavor options. *Drinks. My wife consistently orders a Shake Shack Strawberry Lemonade with Mini Passionfruit Popping Boba. *Service. Staff here is excellent. They are very attentive, keep you up to date on your order status, quickly fix any errors and sometimes, when they aren't slammed, will chat with you while you wait. Why only three stars? *Lack of vegan options. They have a veggie shack burger that can be veganized with no bun, sauces, cheese or crispy onions. They even offer a lettuce wrap version if you are in to that sort of thing. With all the incredible vegan options out there (chicken, hot dogs, burgers, buns, shakes) why can't we get some? Overall, for my family's sake, we will continue to visit. If it were just up to me, I'd get my fix at a more vegan friendly place.
