    Two of the most delicious bowls in existence.
    Jason R.

    We waited outside, as there is not a seating area. None of these are an issue after you start eating the bowl. The fruit was super fresh and the granola was super crunchy in it. These are seriously the most delicious bowls that we've ever had.

    Opening day!

    We were their very first customers, back on opening day! We got tee shirts (for free!) and purchased two of the best Smoothie Bowls ever! The portions are enormous, topped with healthy delicious toppings, they carefully pack your bowls in a bag and hand it out the side window. (They forgot our spoons! Oopsie! No biggie, I have reusable ones in my car). Please get out there and support this brand new business downtown. Imagine how great this will be this summer, smoothie bowls in the park?! Ahhhh dreaming!

    I took my daughter here while she was home from college. I admit I had no idea what acai was and tend to avoid trendy, healthy food....... but she loves the stuff and considers herself quite the aficionado. She got the Dragon Bowl which included banana, blueberry, strawberry, coconut flakes and peanut butter. I did not intend to have any but the server offered my daughter an extra spoon in case I changed my mind. I ended up trying it and have to admit it was very good. The ingredients were fresh and the contrast in textures was very appealing. My daughter said it was very good as well. The server was very friendly and the service was quick. Great addition to the Brunswick food scene!

    Love the idea of this place, but they pre make their base of smoothie bowls, so the consistency is harder than other smoothie bowls and I just had a lot of freezer burn on my bowl. For the price and concept I wanted something fresh. Freezer burn makes it feel not that fresh.

    My Mother and I come to Bay bowls and these bowls are delicious and nutritious! The owners and staff are all so courteous and nice, I really appreciate that! Also their peanut butter is homemade and I love my peanut butter! Fresh berries and the foundation is either Açaí or pita ya. They also have smoothies and other stuff. Grateful for a place like you Bay Bowl!

    Tropical Smoothie

    Good service, I ordered three tropical smoothies. Smoothies were pretty good, however they were a little watery and thin. Usually I would prefer a thicker smoothie but i assume you'd get that if you ordered a smoothie bowl here. A little pricey for what it's worth, but really cute local place.

    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

    Five stars for the only two things I really care about. First, these are absolutely delicious. The…read morePeanut Butter Banana is so rich and creamy that I'd prefer it to any ice cream shop shake. There are about 30 flavors that all look amazing, but extremely unhealthy. Which brings me to point two: somehow these 16 ounce shakes are only about 230 calories, with 24 grams of protein and relatively low carbs. How is this possible? I'll just assume it's magic and enjoy these delicious shakes. Things to consider though: -The price is ridiculous. After tax it is $7.83 for a shake, plus the screen asks for a tip. So nearly $9 for a protein shake is excessive, even for Falmouth. -There are most likely loads of artificial ingredients to make these taste so good. I don't personally care, but you might. -Surprisingly the calories are not listed on the menu boards for any items. The owner explained the shakes to me, but this is odd. There are protein iced coffees, workout teas and smoothie bowls I'd like to try as well, but for now, I'll be dreaming of my next shake.

    Customer service is great and the staff friendly and helpful... but it's important to know that…read morethis is a brick and mortar for a highly questionable and predatory MLM Herbalife.
