So if you get pistachio ice cream here, all you're getting is ice cream dyed green and flavored heavily with almond extract. Even grocery store pistachio ice cream contains pistachios.

It is a real treat having a Playa Bowls in Kalamazoo, especially one that is as friendly and…read moreinviting as this one! On our first visit to Playa Bowls, the workers were so patient and informative (and cheerful!), helping us with our order and answering questions we had (for example, possible substitutions of ingredients to make the bowls Vegan). The menu that is on the wall is so varied and expansive that at first, ordering can seem daunting. However, after their explanations, our options became clearer. I suggest looking at their menu at playabowls.com before going. (For Vegans, generally: Blueberry Flax Granola can be changed to Vegan/Gluten Free Granola for 50¢, Whey Chocolate or Vanilla Protein can be changed to Vegan Chocolate or Vanilla Protein. Honey can be removed from orders. And the Coco-Whip is Vegan.) The workers pride themselves on the artistry of the bowls! So many times at other fast food or fast-casual restaurants, the food that is served looks nothing like the photographs in the advertising. However, at Playa Bowls in Kalamazoo, the bowls often look better than the advertisements! Because we had such a wonderful time and the bowls were so delicious, we returned multiple times over the next couple of weeks. Sometimes the workers were the same, sometimes they were different, but every time, the people there provided us with the same warm and welcoming experience and beautifully crafted bowls!

Our smoothies were in the wrong alphabet section for pick up. We waited at a table for our food to be put up. After our scheduled pick-up time, I went to the counter and they had the food in a bag sitting on near the prep area with another water. That would have been good to know that we needed to ask for our food. The Thai Chicken Salad (ordered without wontons) and dressing was good. I usually order the Chicken Pesto Flatbread and the salad was a nice alternative. My go-to smoothie is the Island Green, substitute Splenda, and add pea protein (versus whey, which is animal protein). My husband got the Island Green Detox without sweetener and you can definitely taste the ginger! My kids like the Jetty Punch (strawberry and banana).

Today, I went there and got a Bahamas Mama because I was pressed for time, and found myself getting highly upset. I've never had a smoothie that tasted like water with a bit of flavor in it. The service was fine, the atmosphere was cool, but the smoothies, never again.

I ain't ever hear anyrhing like that your a business . You dont close to re stock things , that has happened to me three times I'll come in and they will say they are temporary close not sure when they will re open and it's frustrating because it will be anytime of the day as a business you don't just get to close for 30 mins -40 to clean or restock . I just get tired of driving here , and it's always something if you have set hours then you should be open the full time , not closing for short periods of time or closing early and if you are then update people have accurate phones because I hate driving an hour to a place that says it's open and it's not

The staff seemed pleasant and softspoken, so staff need to be a little more assertive. The bakery items were very good. However the restock was a shambles, the hot cases keeping the pastries fresh and warm were ransacked and empty. There were options, but for opening honeymoon period, way too many empty cases. As a chain restaurant, it's very good. The pastries are not made on site, they are baked fresh, but they are foodservice freezer packed. Perhaps the bread itself is made on site, will have to return and try that next time. Could have been five stars if the stock was maintained, but also, popular items so it is understandable.

I can't give this more than three stars right now because the service is insanely slow even when it doesn't look particularly busy. The first time I waited 25 minutes and the second time I waited 10 minutes: this is for a straightforward mocha. I don't mind waiting when it's busy, but it was not busy, and I think they need to rethink how they're staffing. There seems to be one barista busting her butt and then six other employees just milling around, occasionally trying to chat with her. The barista is awesome and everyone is nice; it just seems like a bad system. I'll give this another chance and update my review if the wait times go down.

I ordered two drinks: a raspberry truffle macchiato and a strawberry lemonade. The barista was great, and I enjoyed my drinks. However, I had a disappointing experience with the raspberry truffle macchiato. I've had it before and it was always delicious, but this time it was terrible. I tried mixing the syrup from the bottom to improve the taste, but all I could taste was bitter coffee. There were also grainy chunks in the drink that made it completely undrinkable and disgusting. I'm unlikely to return to this coffee shop. I won't wait that long for only one of the two drinks to be drinkable.

I got Vanilla Custard with hot caramel and almonds while my wife got vanilla custard with peaches. To me, it seemed more like regular Vanilla Ice Cream than Vanilla Custard to me. I didn't really taste much of a difference versus some vanilla ice cream somewhere else. The peaches I could be wrong but tasted it, and my wife agreed it seemed like canned peaches. For a quick dessert spot, it's not bad. Friendly staff and pretty quick on a warm summer day.
