I was never quite sure if Playa Bowls was lunch or a snack so I just keep making it a meal, even…read morethough I wind up hungry again an hour later. I will say that, for this location in particular, I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was able to order and get my bowl. Showing up at lunchtime on a beach day with the line out the door gave me pause. But the line moved quickly and my order was ready within a couple minutes of paying. As with all the locations, they have a good selection and these really hit the spot on a hot summer day. Dinged a star for the price. This really is a snack food but they're charging more than a footlong sub.

Playa Bowls is truly a go-to for me! Walking in, the shops are always so bright, beachy, and puts…read moreyou in the mood for summer! The fruit is always so fresh and tasty. I usually stick to the same order, but this time, I went with their new Superberry Cloud Smoothie. It was also made so quickly! This smoothie was SO tasty! It was airy because of the coco whip swirled around the side of the cup. Sometimes, protein in smoothie becomes clumpy and gross, but not from Playa Bowls. The protein is this smoothie blended right in and the taste of the Acai, strawberry, banana, chocolate protein, and coco whip was perfect. I am looking forward to getting this again!

Hands down my favorite shore spot for juices, superfood smoothies, superfood lattes and sandwiches... oh yeah, the raw superfood chocolates?!! A bit addictive lol. Also, if you're lucky enough to catch a day when they have the lavender cheese cake bar in the fridge it's a dessert game changer (although if you don't like lavender probably not for you) There is nothing on the menu I haven't enjoyed. You won't be disappointed and something for everyone's flavor pallet. Enjoy!

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, but there were definitely no left overs. This is a small shop with very friendly staff. You order at a counter. They have some tables outside for when the weather is nice, but no indoor seating. Most people were coming in to grab takeout. I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely come again.

I recently completed my first seven-day Skinny Cleanse with Raw and it was amazing! I lost just…read moreunder 12 lbs and felt wonderful, refreshed and strong. I didn't have any slip-ups, and only a few cravings to fight. The juices were delicious and obviously kept me satisfied through the day. Not to mention, not having to cook/plan/prep meals for seven days was a huge plus for me. Now, to customer service, multiple times I emailed to ask questions and received an immediate auto email that my question was received and would be responded to asap. Each time, I received incredibly attentive, kind and personable responses within a few hours. They were professional, yet friendly and encouraging, while supplying answers to everything I needed. Ordering was simple and I even contacted them to specify a delay in my delivery date. Everything arrived exactly on schedule and in perfect condition. Can't wait to try their other products. I have nothing negative to say whatsoever. Kudos!

Update: I requested a refund for the package that got lost in the mail. When I checked my credit…read morecard statement I saw that I had a refund for both orders I had placed, even though I did receive the first order. Not sure if it was intentional or not but gave an extra star for that. I haven't touched a juice yet so I can't speak to that at all at this point. I have however had several interactions with customer service (and I use that term loosely) that were enough to make me never use this service again. I started a subscription and cancelled almost immediately afterwards. Requested Saturday delivery & package was delivered on Thursday. The explanation was that they get really busy and don't read the notes to know what day things should be delivered. The second package never came. Then when I reach out then I get a nasty email saying it showed as delivered and since I was claiming it wasn't I had to reach out to fedex. Most companies would be empathetic of you not receiving your item & apologize or offer to help you. But not this one, they question your integrity & tell you to do it yourself. Never again will I use this service & I don't recommend anyone else use them

Loving the juice bar trend. I've had a juice, an acai bowl, and a little strawberry cookie from…read morehere. The juice was very good. No complaints whatsoever. The acai bowl had possibly the nicest presentation I've ever seen. You can pick three toppings; I went banana, chia seeds, and granola. No real complaints about it either. The cookie was good too. Could have used more of the strawberry topping or a little less of the actual cookie but it was good. Only downside is the price but that's been the downside to every juice/smoothie shop I've been to. You're paying for fresh and healthy but sometimes $10 for juice or an acai bowl seems little higher then it should. But like I said, that's everywhere.

Let me start out with the positive. The young girl behind the counter was so sweet. The smoothies…read moreand fresh juices I saw being made LOOKED awesome. As A recommendation, I tried the fattoush salad. It was about 16 or $17. It was very underwhelming and a HUGE disappointment. I could barely eat it because the dressing was super acidic. I ended up throwing most of it in the garbage because I found it barely edible. There were just a few broken up Ezekiel chips in it finally chopped very fresh romaine tomatoes( a little past their prime), herbs and vinegar/lemon-based dressing. i'm not sure why the salad was so expensive with so few salad guts. 416 or $17, I could've gone to one of a few high-end seaside restaurants and had a beautiful salad for close to that price.

A few months ago, I visited Greens and Grains in Northfield and I've been hooked ever since…read more Although Shrewsbury is not the closest to me, it's close enough that I've found myself making some drives down there to get my fix. My favorite thing that I like to get are their breakfast tacos. The tacos are filled with tofu scramble and topped with chili, a cheese-like sauce, and a slice of avocado. I don't know what it is, but I smash these tacos every single time I get them. They are so good! I honestly can't speak on much else because I get the same thing every time. Also, I buy one or two of their pressed juices. They make these in advance and are bottled. For the summer season, they have a juice that consists of strawberries, basil, beets, and more that is so very good. If you're looking for a place to get your vegan fix, this is the one.

I'm a meat eater, so when I tell you I was genuinely impressed by this completely vegan restaurant,…read moreyou know it's worth talking about! The Sesame Crunch Salad was abundant and had that perfect combination of fresh, crunchy, and satisfying. Very tangy dressing. The Mediterranean Bowl was one of my favorites. It was fresh, filling, and had all those classic Mediterranean flavors coming together in one bowl. Yup, even vegan tzatziki and feta. The Meatball Parm Sub had this hearty, saucy, cheesy combination you want from a meatball parm, and really mimicked the texture and flavor of a real meatball well. The Cheezsteak was another one that really surprised me. It had that classic cheesesteak feel without the meat, although this wasn't a personal favorite of mine. And if you're a pesto lover, the Chick'n Parm Pesto is one you have to try. It was crispy, cheesy, saucy, and packed with pesto flavor. My favorite of the sandwiches! And great ciabatta bread. The Acai Bowl was the perfect refreshing way to finish everything. Very fresh fruit. The place is clean, well maintained, and has regular tables and bar seating. The staff member was helpful in helping us pick some popular options which was nice coming from another fellow omnivore. So if you're vegan, vegetarian, or just someone who loves good food, I'd say this is worth checking out!
