Outside
Amy P.

Came here for drinks on a Wednesday afternoon. Very small interior. You can order and pay at a kiosk. Short wait time. Juices and matcha boba drinks were good. Average prices. 2 blocks from Central Park.

Cute little spot on 84th and Amsterdam with some pretty good Bubble Tea. The bubble tea is by far one of the better ones on the upper west side. It's hard to find tea boba that' not too sweet and loaded with sugary syrup and they fit the bilI here. Passion fruit which was a nice dark tea with passion fruit flavor and lots of tapioca boba pearls. My son had the green apple which was a bit tart and just as good. They also have fresh fruit smoothies and acai bowls.

30. Kale Monster Smoothie
Alexis C.

Was feeling thirsty and this did the trick. I'd say it was fairly reasonably priced. It was a small place with just a counter and when I went there was only one person working so it took a little bit for me to get my smoothie.

Green kale bowl (small)

Small store. Solid smoothies and acai bowls that don't skimp on the fruit toppings. I also tried their Green Kale Bowl, which I actually like more than their acai bowl. Good portions!

34. Avocado Smoothie
Cole D.

Great avocado smoothie. Very creamy. Light. Good dose of avocado. Delicious. Big cups and nice thick straws easy for slurping.

Super great to have an affordable healthy option in the area for a solid (ironically) liquid lunch or breakfast. Their signature drinks are pretty delicious but you also have the option of creating your own. They have a multitude of bases if you don't subscribe to the orange juice or dairy based drinks found elsewhere. I happened to be present when they received their fruit delivery and it's so lovely to witness. The fresh fruit, neatly packaged and sent to the rear for prep, makes you want to eat it on sight. I love how clean and neat the counter and work space for juicing is maintained. Hawa loses two stars due to lack of consistent organization and for not offering any food options that are not highly processed. Sometimes Hawa is open on time and sometimes you'll have to try again later. It would help if they at least put up signage. Worth checking out if in the area.

24. Acai Original Bowl w/ Goji Berry
Greg H.

Playa bowls/açaí bowls seem to be the new hot trend everywhere I go in the tri-state. I usually go to Playa Bowls while I'm traveling in NJ, but I decided to try something new since I was in Manhattan. Hawa Smoothies is on par with Playa Bowls. The original açaí bowl I tried was really tasty and I added Goji berries for an added kick. The prices are fair for the area too.

Berry Mull, Mango Banana, Orange Pineapple, Sweet Spin

I was drawn to their boba (as I often am), but walked out with smoothies for me and my family, so I guess I have to go back and try their boba another day. It is so unnecessarily difficult to find decently priced smoothies in the city. I think I usually pay at least $7 for one (for NO reason.) Hawa's cheapest smoothies come in at $6, which isn't really "cheap," per se, but it's "cheaper" which is definitely something. I loved how the store looked when you went inside-- it feels refreshing and smells like fruit so it really gets you in the right mood for drinking a smoothie and making yourself feel like you're eating healthy from all groups of the food pyramid. We got: Berry Mull (3.5/5), Orange Pineapple (4.5/5), Mango Banana (4/5), Sweet Spin (4/5). None of them were bad, though my sister's berry mull tasted like there may have been added sugar in it (though it may have just been the protein powder). The sweet spin had the right amount of fruit and vegetables. I ordered my mango banana after they told me they ran out of mango papaya. I was worried that the flavors would make the smoothie too sweet, but it wasn't at all. Unfortunately the only thing I found with my drink was that it was somewhat watery and left a strange aftertaste. As you can see in the photo, they use those dome lids and I was so happy that they fill the cups up even into the dome rather than wasting a lot of smoothie. Overall I'm happy with my experience and am looking forward to that boba.

24. Acai Original Bowl
Annalissa C.

Can't say enough good things about this place. After having a smoothie here for the first time a couple years ago, nothing has ever compared. These people are NOT skimpy on the fruit and the texture of the smoothie base (or if you get a drink) is so incredibly smooth and full of flavor. It does take a little long when it's busy, but it's so worth the wait every time. The place itself is really small with just a few bar stools so don't expect to have seating if going on a hot day, but you can really eat what they have anywhere so it's never been a problem for me. If you haven't stopped in yet, what are you waiting for?!

I'm ECSTATIC Hawa is now in the UWS! (I've been a fan of their UES location which is close to work for me, so now that Hawa is in the hood, I cannot wait to spend all of my money here on the regular) My go-to smoothie is the Açaí Punch! And I love their açaí bowls -- I like my açaí thick (not soupy) and their bowls are perfection. Everything is so fresh and delicious! The store can be easy to miss currently without additional signage, so keep your eyes open at the corner of Amsterdam and 84th!

Came in for a PB protein smoothie! I wish they included how much protein was in each serving, but it was pretty good! I would come back!

A few weeks ago, I stopped into a Juice Generation on the UWS, to try out their new Matcha…read moresmoothie. Firstly, the smoothie was outstanding. Tbh, I was a bit skeptical at first, but this experience completely changed my mind, and made me a believer in "matcha smoothies." (For the not-yet-believers out there, I recommend having it with their wonderful almond mylk.) Secondly, I loved the welcoming feel of the store; it felt both relaxed and productive in there. And the sweet man who helped me out -- Mitchel -- was so friendly that I felt like I was in a five star restaurant, not a smoothie and juice joint. Give that guy a raise! : ) An awesome experience, at a healthy place. I couldn't be happier. Thanks, Mitchel and team! Peace, Kat

Man... super disappointed someone told me to stop by here for an acai bowl but what I ended up with…read morewas a smoothie in a bowl that overflowed... idk what the acai base is made with but it's super milky/creamy and melted (I did walk back to my car about ten mins) to eat. It's not that hot out (66 degrees) sooo I'm not sure what happened. But it's my fault for still opening it up when it looked soupy and made a mess but it's just not great in flavor. There's also no public restroom at this place. This may be a one off since someone recommended it and the reviews seem to be good (albeit dated) but idk if I'll be back.

Right now they have a seasonal "Jacked 4 Pumpkin" menu with some special bowls and smoothies. They had a lot of seating in a fenced in area in front on the sidewalk.

What I received had ZERO raw coconut, it was literally just frozen coconut milk with blueberries and strawberries. I also paid extra to add chia seeds, which they forgot to put in (that part 100% understandable). I went back and politely asked for my chia seeds and asked where the raw coconut was. The employee added the chia seeds and casually said, "Yeah, I forgot," with absolutely no apology or acknowledgment. When I asked about the missing raw coconut, I got a bunch of excuses that honestly didn't even make sense. If an ingredient is listed in the description, I expect to actually receive it, and if you make a mistake, at least own it and apologize. This was not worth the money at all (was in total $18) Definitely my first and LAST time coming to this Playa Bowls location. Do better.
