Coconut base, flax seed granola, coconut flakes, mango, banana, and pineapple. Regular size bowl. I downloaded the app and got 15% off as a first time order, so paid just over $15 with tax and a convenience fee of 50 cents. Overall it was a great bowl, large enough that it lasted most of my work day. Only con is the coconut base melted pretty fast after I picked it up from the store, so it quickly became a juice with fruits. Would try again.

I visit Playa Bowls at this location several times per week. I tried several of the other items…read morebut the Purple Mermaid frozen drink is my favorite. The other drinks were tasteless, it could simple be the nature of those particular drinks but I did not take a liking to them. So The Purple Mermaid Smoothie from Playa Bowls is a protein-packed, tropical superfood blended together. It has what they call Playa Pitaya or a dragon fruit base, bananas, pineapples, vanilla protein, blue spirulina, and coconut milk, with a swirl of coco whip. There is a large list of items to choose from so we will see how it goes. The hostess is neither friendly nor off putting. Its a get your items and leave kind of establishment...... so there you have it.

Hawa really surprised me with how good their smoothies are. I don't usually like them from boba…read moreplaces, but decided to give Hawa a chance and they do a really great job here! I've been to this location a couple times now, as well as their West Village one. I've had a few different smoothies that have all tasted great. The Detox Lunch has been my favorite and has become my go-to choice. The quality is definitely there as well, you can see all the fresh fruits and veggies they use right in the kitchen. Prep time is quick, definitely faster than a standard juice bar like Jamba Juice, and the staff have always been friendly and efficient. The inside is pretty small and can get cramped, so plan to grab-and-go!

Smoothies are so good! Bowls are even better!…read more It's my go-to place after a workout. I love that you can edit the smoothies/bowl based on your dietary restrictions and even make your own. Last time I had a pitaya bowl and I added granola, chia seeds, bananas, raspberries and chocolate hazelnut butter. All the toppings were included! If I got any more they'd be extra but this amount was more than enough. The pitaya was refreshing and in creamy texture. Also very filling! The service is always good and quick. And the place is casual with enough seating if you want to eat there.

I had spinach, carrot, celery and ginger which was refreshing after my workout. The employee was quick and efficient working alone. He even advised me about my choice of ingredients due to my blood sugar. He just added a small amount of carrots since they are sweet. My friend had the same ingredients and added the apple for sweetness. I really enjoyed the experience. I'm not very familiar with juicing. I'd definitely visit this location when I'm nearby. It's a great way to get my veggies for the day.

Ordered the Passion Green smoothie which is made up of mango, passion fruit, kale, and spinach…read more Most of the medium-sized drinks were $8 while the large were $9. I personally would only come here for the smoothies and juice - not the açaí or boba. The location is small and easily gets packed. Be prepared to wait for 15+ minutes if there is a line out the door.

Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite busy! Tons of folks were coming in and out for a spot…read moreI almost walked past! Extensive menu with plenty of fruit slush options (no milk), smoothies (with milk), bowls, or boba. I'd prob rec not getting the boba, since nyc is blessed with boba-specific spots lol I just finished a workout, so I opted for their large Powerful Chia ($11), which had banana, mango, pineapple, and chia seed. I got almond milk, since they didn't have oat milk at the time. Price point was relative on par with other chains. You can add Orgain organic protein for +$1. All ingredients are blended right in front of you, which is always great to see. Overall, would return to a Hawa!

The smoothie tasted so good! I'm a sucker for mango flavors, and the aloe vera mixed well with it…read more The only downside was that the boba wasn't sweet enough - barely tasted like anything. Overall, I am satisfied. There are a few tables for you to sit at!

Connected to the Harpers bread house so we popped in for a drink to go…read more They have three tables, and the staff is nice. Drinks are pretty and yummy. Tapioca is super soft though, but sweetness and ice is customizable, and the tea is flavorful.

Just tried the red waterfall tonight. I could taste everything and the combination is amazing…read more Never thought of blending pomegranate and beet roots together and the other 15 or so ingredients become such an experience. Plus it's healthy, high in protein, and no sugar. Never imagined that a vegan protein shake can taste good but they are excellent at Nio's.

Omg! I tried the Protein Bubble Waffles! So delish. 18g of protein. They're basically Hong Kong…read moreCakes on protein The waffles here are made with almond flour and naked whey. The aroma alone will draw you in. $8 for a basic serving, $15 if you want the works (ie, strawberries, blueberries, chocolate drizzle and whipped cream). I've gone for basic every time because I personally like it by itself! The other day, I also tried the Coconut Chia Pudding. It was fresh and not too cold, which is exactly what I wanted. The coconut milk was delicious. I opted for blueberries and almonds as toppings but the pudding without any toppings is pretty good. I highly recommend trying the bites!

A little shop right on the running and walking path under the overpass and near the Balloon Museum…read more Its a grab a go spot for a cold drink. They offer a variety of flavors, iced teas, lemonades, dirty sodas, energy drinks. You can also create your own drinks here with many syrups and add ins. Nowhere to sit but on a nice day walk right over to the water and find a spot to enjoy your drink.

I'm obsessed with dirty sodas and this place was perfectly placed by the Balloon Museum. So…read morerefreshing on a hot day! I love their creations but also that you can make your own! They have a cute vibe and surfboards you can put your drinks on to stand and enjoy! The owners are super friendly and they have another location in the Rockefeller Building (which of course I also visited). If you like dirty sodas, definitely make a stop here!

Decided to stop by today just…read moreto see the prices and I almost fell over dead. $4 for a small fruit smoothie $5 for a large fruit smoothie $4 for a small fruit salad $6 for a large fruit salad There were SO many options and I didn't even look at 1/4 of them. My eyes got stuck on the Hawaiian Surprise smoothie (strawberry, mango, coconut, pineapple). Since the prices were so low I wasn't sure what I was going to get, but the second I took a sip I knew it was the real deal. SO GOOD. It was so good that I then ordered a small fruit salad. I counted FOURTEEN FRUITS in my salad! Cherry, blueberry, strawberry, honeydew, cantaloupe, grapefruit, pineapple, apple, mango, kiwi, watermelon, plum, grapes, and orange. The container was so stuffed that it wasn't even closed, the owner just wrapped a rubber band around it to keep it from coming apart. ALL OF THAT FOR 4 DOLL HAIRS?! The entire base of my salad was mango!!! I am SHOOK. And I am more shook that these prices have been the same since 2012, when they could have easily increased prices with the times. I am even TRIPLEY SHOOK that the honeydew was ripe and sweet, not hard, under ripe, and tasteless like how you find honeydew in other places. I'm clearly going to turn into a fruit because I can tell I will be here daily.
