I've been coming to Playa Bowls for a long time and I've always loved it. The food is delicious,…read moreand I usually order delivery or visit the store. The atmosphere is also really nice and enjoyable. However, my last visit was a bit disappointing. A lady who served us had a very rude attitude and seemed like she wanted us to leave quickly. Our order was a bit confusing since we had several bowls and some were half-and-half, but I still felt she could have been more patient. I'm Hispanic, and I honestly felt she treated us differently because of that. She also started helping another customer who arrived after us while still taking our order, which felt unprofessional. This has never happened to me before, which is why I still give 4 stars. Other than that experience, everything has always been great. I'd also love if they brought back last year's summer special passion fruit bowl--it was amazing and a lot of people seemed to love it.

This is a cute casual place that's like a cafe style or reminds me of like Sweet Frog vibes with a toppings bar in front by the cashier. The bowls! I love how they serve the "for here" in a glass cup. As for the flavor, mhm, the açaí flavor was just a bit off, I'm not sure how to explain it...but had a strange taste when eating it...wasn't really a fan of the flavor profile. The fruit was mostly good, but also was a little off. I don't like how small the strawberries were diced up to be. I'd say 2/5, unfortunately the flavors weren't there

Cute but simple decor…read more I got the Eggspresso in a small. Wish I had gotten a large but it was also 3 pm and Vietnamese coffee could wake the dead. It was delicious. Not too sweet and tasted more like a custard creme than egg. I couldn't stop drinking it even though I could feel the caffeine coursing through me. They have so many fun drink options, acai bowls, and snacks. The staff were friendly and helpful. The owner even said bye to us on our way out! Fun fact: Currently posting this at 2:30 am, about 11 hours after I got my coffee. Vietnamese coffee is no joke.

When you go on their website to order, it takes you to the Toast Tab app…read more I put through an order for a Coco Mia (cold press sugar cane and fresh coconut water). It has become one of my favorites. You select the size (small or large) and the quantity. After paying, I got an alert that my order was received and being worked on and it gave an estimate, but in the same message, it said I would be informed when my order was ready. Well, that last message never came. I still made my way to the store and decided to give them a few minutes because I thought that maybe since they were busy, they probably had not made my drink yet. Orders came and went and still no alert to me. It was then I decided to check with an employee to see if they had my order. It took them a minute, but then they went in what looked like a cooler or fridge and pulled out my drink. I guess they got so busy, they forgot to inform me on the app that my drink was ready to be picked up. In future, I will only order in person as it seemed much quicker to do it that way instead.

Today was the last day we could order birthday cake smoothies in honor of South Block's 15th…read morebirthday, so of course I had to stop in and get one! And because one is never enough, I bought two--one to enjoy today and one to freeze for tomorrow. South Block always has such a casual but vibrant atmosphere that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. The smoothies are always delicious, and my favorite bowl is the Peanut Butter Blast with the Nutella topping. The service is consistently great, the food is delicious, and I love having healthy options that make you feel good. But one of my favorite things about South Block is the positive, community-minded energy. Amir and the entire South Block team are all about community, having fun, and making people feel welcome. You can really feel that when you walk in. Great food, great drinks, great service, and an even better vibe. Happy 15th birthday, South Block!

I had a sudden craving for Orange Fanta last Saturday afternoon. For health reasons, I told myself…read morea cold and refreshing sweet drink would do. After parking at a garage in Pike & Rose, we stopped by South Block to quench my thirst. I have a South Block in my neighborhood and find it overpriced, but I really did need to go. STRAWBERRY MINI - 6.49 I didn't need a whole lot, so I went with the 12 oz. kid size smoothie. This contains guava juice, strawberry, and bananas, which is much less complex than the regular sized 16 oz. adult smoothies. Overall, pretty refreshing and enjoyable. It's not Orange Fanta, but it did the job. Spacious interior but not a whole lot of seating. Definitely more of a grab-and-go while walking around Pike & Rose.

The service here was good, not anything crazy but it also was in the middle of the day and I was the only person there which had surprised me due to how good my smoothie was. The atmosphere of this place wasn't one that stood out to me either, it felt like every other smoothie store you could go to, which they could improve.

The atmosphere is casual and inviting, with plenty of comfortable seating, including areas where you can sit and enjoy your drink with a friend. HEYTEA is located in Wintergreen Plaza, which has plenty of free parking, making it easy and convenient to visit. I'm definitely looking forward to trying more of their offerings!

This was my first time there and I asked the person at the counter about their drinks since they were different than at other boba tea places I've frequented. I told him I like milk based teas and asked about their jasmine tea. He couldn't really explain the different tea flavors. Also wasn't very helpful, especially when I saw the jasmine tea was not milk based (after I had purchased it). I adjusted the sugar to 75%, but it needed more sugar. I also ordered the mango coconut cream drink for my daughter. I do appreciate they use real fruit and that it looked pretty but I really don't see what the hype is about. I didn't like my jasmine tea and my daughter, nor I, liked the mango coconut tea. Definitely not a fan ... won't be back.
