Yummy açaí that comes with unlimited toppings. The size is definitely much smaller than expected,…read moreand they were a little skimpy on the fruit. I ordered to-go and the açaí had already melted so it was more of a smoothie bowl than an acai bowl. All the ingredients were fresh and high quality though. Pick up was convenient and smooth. There was just one person working at the time I stopped by around lunch time. This is a nice acai option for the Evanston area. But my favorite acai option is Bonita Bowl in Park Ridge. They have different base options and their sizes are much larger. Plus they stuff the top with lots of fruit.

Like... there is a picture here what is in this picture? "layers" Was all he could tell me. I will say there was a language barrier so that contributed to my inability to make sure I got what I wanted. My suggestion would be go to another smoothie bar that has better descriptions on their menu. This one was quite confusing on all levels.

A couple areas of opportunity: - the acai base could use more flavor. I didn't get much peach flavor coming through in mine. - the fill (amount of acai base in the bowl) seemed slightly low. The 16oz bowls start at $12.90, which is about $0.50-$1 less than other equivalent offerings in the North Shore. Parking is tight in this strip mall lot (by Subway/Jiffy Lube). Have an awesome day!

The honey definitely added to the sweetness, and the fruit tasted like it may have been frozen rather than freshly cut. That said, the portion size was generous, everything was put together nicely, and I could definitely see this being a refreshing treat or dessert on a hot summer day. If you have a sweeter palate, you'll probably enjoy it. Next time, I'd skip the honey to let the fruit flavors shine a bit more.

Playa Bowls is in a great location amongst a busy street to stop by if you're looking for a snack. The space isn't really meant for sitting and dining in, but there are some options to sit down for the quick bite. It can also get a bit loud with all the blending (to be expected!) I was impressed you could add quite a bit if you wanted. There are a great bit of options to mix and match, but I decided to go with a classic strawberry, banana, and Nutella. The açaí tasted exactly like the açaí served at Costco. It was decent enough and my friend's was similar, but oof, the prices aren't worth it. If I'm in a pinch and want something different than a smoothie, I'll consider stopping by again. But I can't say I'd really make coming back here a priority. It's stuff I can make at home for an eighth of the price.
