A solid playa bowls location with very quick service and ample seating. They were very helpful with the menu and had some nice protein specials as well as a free sweet cream cold brew special for the day! read more

Randomly craved an açaí bowl on a random cold Sunday night I've been to other locations before and they were so good!! So made the extra drive to come with the family for dinner and dessert! read more

This was wonderful! Such a cute store with great decor and the staff was so nice and welcoming. We stopped in on our way to go bowling and got the mermaid bowl with mixed base of the coconut and the pitaya. It was delicious! Everyone there was very nice and helpful with answering any questions I had. I wanted to try two of the bases for variety, and I was not disappointed. The coconut is lightly sweet and creamy and the pitaya tastes like dragonfruit so it's fruity and a bit tart. They mix well together and the toppings just accentuate the flavors. We tried the elderberry shot and I did NOT expect that it was spicy because I didn't notice it had cayenne. It was tart with a spicy aftertaste. Overall we had a good experience and would certainly come back! read more

We aren't fans of bananas so we tend to avoid smoothie and fruit bowl places, but I've seen so many Playa Bowls pop up I was genuinely intrigued to give it a shot. I got the Mango Berry bowl with a few modifications and found it so refreshing! I'd definitely indulge again. read more

Inconsistent bowls. We ordered the kale bowl and it looked like it came straight out of the freezer. We had to chip at the ice block to be able to eat it. I thought workers were supposed to make sure it's a smoothie consistency? Music is way too loud. You can't hear anyone talk, I'm surprised the workers are fine with how loud it is. read more

I came here after going to get a facial next door. This is my first time coming here. I didn't know what to get but the young lady at the register was very helpful in letting me know the most popular bowls. I ended up going with the Nutella Acai bowl. It came with an Acai base topped with bananas, strawberries, coconut shavings, and Nutella drizzle. It was tasty. I can't wait to come back and try something different. read more

I did go to an elite event here at Playa Bowls, located at Halcyon in Alpharetta, Georgia. I have already put in a Yelp for this, but wanted to do it again outside of the elite group. It was delicious, bright and colorful, and there was minimal seating, but most people purchase their orders to go. The staff was very friendly. I do recommend Paia Bowls for anybody who is looking for a healthy way to have a treat. Bon appétit read more

This place is super cute. I'm always on the hunt for a good açaí place. Excellent service. They have all kinds of bowls. I got the tropical. Yum! I asked for half açaí and half pitaya. Also came with pineapple, banana, blueberry flax granola, coconut flakes and honey. I could hardly finish it. The only thing I wish they had was different sizes. I'll definitely be back when I'm in Georgia. read more

Hello there, I'm an older lady and a bit hard of hearing, but I had such a lovely time at Playa Bowls. The food was very tasty, and every bowl looked and tasted just right. I really liked how the shop was decorated like a beach--it felt so cheerful and fun. The young lady at the cash register, Nicole, was just wonderful. She was very patient with me and kindly took the time to explain everything about the bowls. She even let me try a few samples, which I appreciated so much. It's a sweet little place to get a nice treat, and I'll surely be back again. read more

Very Refreshing! So far i've been here twice, got to try the Nutella and Pura Vida, which are the acai based bowls, as well as the Mermaid Juice. i think this is a much better alternative to ice cream or something too sugary like that. The staff is pretty nice and quick. The vibes are like fast casual, grab and go, or grab and chill for a bit. Parking is getting weird here, so i would go ahead and just park at the parking deck to be safe. Overall, i wasnt the biggest fan of acai bowls until Playa bowls won me over. now i'm all for it! read more

Great choice for a wide variety of bowls, smoothies, and drinks. Pick from a curated list and customize bases or build your own! I've been to several locations now and it has never disappointed. A little pricey for what it is, but definitely worth it in my opinion. My go to is the Nutella Açaí bowl with half açaí base and half chia pudding base. I find the açaí base to be too sweet and not filling enough so pairing it with chia pudding creates the perfect balance if you do not mind the look/texture. Very generous with the amount of toppings. I've never received a bowl that wasn't overflowing. Really good smoothies too although expensive compared to some smoothie companies, but I can't go here and not get my açaí bowl so I rarely order smoothies here. Usually pretty quick with getting your order ready and has plenty of seating indoors if you choose to eat it there. read more

Playa Bowls just opened at the Halcyon! YAY! These bowls are soooo good and refreshing and there are so many options to pick from. We decided to try both the Açaí and Pitaya bowl bases which I heard is what they're most famous for. We tried the following: NUTELLA BOWL $12 Pure acai topped with granola, banana, strawberry, coconut flakes, nutella drizzle ELECTRIC MERMAID $12 Pitaya blend topped with granola, kiwi, pineapple, mango, coconut flakes, honey These bowls look small but they're actually super filling. I only ate like half of mine and had to take the rest to go. The staff in this location is super friendly and they kinda help you navigate the menu since it is a whole LOT to process. I hope they open another location that's closer to me because I loooove this place; and will probably get it every time I am in the area! ESPAÑOL ¡Playa Bowls acaba de abrir en el Halcyon! ¡HURRA! Estos tazones son tan buenos y refrescantes y hay muchas opciones para elegir. Decidimos probar las bases de Açaí y Pitaya que, según escuché, es por lo que son más famosos. Probamos lo siguiente: BOWL DE NUTELLA $12 Acai puro cubierto con granola, plátano, fresa, hojuelas de coco, llovizna de nutella SIRENA ELECTRICA $12 Mezcla de Pitaya cubierta con granola, kiwi, piña, mango, hojuelas de coco, miel Estos tazones parecen pequeños pero en realidad llenan mucho. Solo comí como la mitad del mío y tuve que tomar el resto para llevar. El personal en esta ubicación es muy amable y te ayudan a navegar por el menú, ya que es MUCHO para procesar. Espero que abran otro lugar que esté más cerca de mí porque amo este lugar; ¡y probablemente los visitaré cada vez que esté en la zona! read more

Okay I see the hype. I had a few friends tell me how much they loved Playa Bowls! I was so grateful there was a yelp event here. I ordered the Pura Vida bowl - acai, blueberries, strawberries, honey, and oats! It was so delicious! I love the granola here... make sense why they sell it by the bag because WOW! My tastebuds were screaming. The açaí consistency was smooth and thick, I enjoyed it melting into my mouth. The size was huge! Definitely can eat it as a meal. It's a great alternative if you want something sweet, cold, and healthy! There is a parking deck that is in walkable distance. It is free to park there. 3 minute walk from this location. This is such a cute plaza. I loved all the outdoor seating that is walking distance from this place. I can't wait to come back when I'm in the area :) read more

Easy to see once you pull into Halcyon & it's on the left. There's free parking in this area. There was decent seating inside if you wanted to stay to enjoy your treat. The servers were friendly & offered to answer any questions I had. The decor gives an island feel. FOOD: I ordered the Electric Mermaid, which seemed to be popular. It has a load of fruit. Everything tasted fresh. I enjoyed trying to get a little of each thing in one bite. The mangos & pineapple were the perfect addition for natural sweetness. The size was also enough for two. This is great if you're looking for a healthy sweet treat. Definitely worth trying out. I'll probably try their bowl with banana & Nutella next time because those are great flavors to combine. Only downside to my experience was the bathroom. Several workers were on shift, but the bathroom had tissue all over. Someone needs to be on bathroom duty. read more

Visited this location on their grand opening! The power bowl (12$) was amazing! It had chocolate protein in it and granola, peanut-butter, honey, and bananas in it. Very filling and delicious! The vibe in here is so fun! They have a beautiful painting of a mermaid on the wall and lots of other fun decor as well! I'm looking forward to being a regular here! They have seating inside at some tables and bar seating by the windows! They are located over by the Mercedes Benz in halcyon and it's a sweet life bakery! The closest parking would be in front of the business if you're able to find a spot or the parking lot behind the food hall. read more

This is a solid açaí bowl. The options are good and the base consistency are what you would expect in a quality açaí bowl. It's a bit pricey though and the parking is a deterrent to coming here. There was quite a bit of unblended protein in the base, so maybe a little more time blending and all will be good! Definitely a top player for açaí bowls but not quite the best. read more

Really solid acai bowl spot. I am always craving something healthy and fresh and I'm glad I stumbled upon this place! Not only do they have acai as the base, but they also do mango and dragon fruit which is kinda rare to find. The acai bowls taste really good. We tried the classic one with the usual suspects for toppings (strawberry, blueberry, granola). Honestly perfect for a hot day in the Atlanta heat! I will have to come back and try the mango bowls! read more

We get takeout here all the time--it's always ready when we show up and the place smells clean. Super reliable!

I can't believe I haven't done a review on this place! This is definitely my go to for Açaí Bowls, smoothies, and oatmeal bowls. Everything is fresh and they make it out in the open. Nothing hidden. The place is always clean and cool. Staff is WONDERFUL. read more

Poor service, poor management, and they desperately need a new fruit supplier. They might as well call what they're making their smoothies with "waterberries" because there isn't even a hint of strawberry flavor in them. Tried it once. Won't return. read more

Posting this as part of a yelp elite experience I feel I have been living under a rock as I have never tried açaí bowls or other fruit bowls before. This event was perfect to try a new way to dessert. The vibe is very laid back, casual and limited seating and maybe more of a grab and go model They are going for. The front staff was so friendly, energetic and recommended the pura vida or Nutella in açaí bowls. I landed up favoring the Pitaya bowl (tropical pitaya, pineapple, coconut milk) in the dragon berry option (strawberry and blueberry with granola+honey). The bowls are delicious and are big enough to share. That said I couldn't tell the sugar content or calories. So maybe they can add that on the paper menu. Tbh I didn't ask or look on their website. Maybe it's already up there) The gingershot was a nice boost for an after workout and would be definitely visiting playa bowls again to try their other flavors. I'm specially intrigued by their green kale bowls. read more

I've been to Playa Bowls a few times for yelp events at different locations and they never disappoint. This location is in the Halcyon. Paid parking right out front or park for free in the garage if the weather is okay! Service has always been fast and friendly. Super beachy vibes inside and a huge menu of bowls and smoothies. There is also a cold case with some juices and ginger & elderberry shots. I was next door getting a facial and knew I wanted to pop in before going home to grab a bowl. Hubs got the kowabunga smoothie and loved it. The stupid cupid bowl has become my absolute fave! It is a special bowl and I am going to be so sad when it goes away! Strawberry and banana base, cocoa nibs, coconut flakes, granola, nutella and white chocolate drizzle, and fresh strawberries. It is dreamy, y'all. I kinda already want another! The one thing I'll say is if you get something with a drizzle on top and get it to go, you will lose all the topping when they put the lid on. I would suggest either asking to bury the topping or eat some before you put the top on. I didn't want to waste a lick of those drizzles so even though I was taking it to go I got it without the lid and ate enough in my car before we left to put the top on leaving the Nutella and white chocolate unscathed. Totes hoping they will make this bowl for me always - even when it is off the menu! read more

I was really craving an açai bowl on a hot summer day in Atlanta. I found Playa Bowls when strolling through Halcyon and my mind was made up! They had all kinds of açai bowls, pitaya bowls, green bowls & smoothies listed on the giant chalkboard menu. There wasn't a wait so I quickly ordered a Tropical Bowl which I had ordered before at the South Florida location. It only took another 2-3 minutes to get my bowl & I was so excited to eat it! It was even better than I remembered; loaded with an açaí base, coconut flakes, sliced bananas, pineapple chunks, and granola. Amazing and a value at just $11. I devoured my bowl quickly.....highly recommend! read more

I was so excited to try Playa Bowls since it is so close to where we live. They have a very large menu to chose from and you can create your own bowl, and mix bases. I got half banana base and have pitaya. It was delicious and so fresh! There are so many options for toppings. They also have smoothies,juices and oatmeal bowls. The inside is a pineapple lover's (me) paradise. You feel like your transported to a tropical island when you walk in! I can't wait to explore more options from Playa Bowls! read more

I stopped in at Playa Bowls after my workout, before closing and I wanted a fresh juice but unfortunately they were already closing up so they couldn't prepare it. I ended up getting one of the prepackaged juices instead. It had apple, ginger, and turmeric it was over $8 for a 12 ounce bottle---way overpriced but it tasted pretty good. I like the beachy vibes of the shop but not sure if I would recommend. read more

Great service! Really enjoyed my experience at this location. The staff was really friendly and my Açaí Bowl was on point! They helped narrow my option to a Nutella bowl(my absolute new favorite choice). The base is açaí then top with bananas, strawberry, their delicious granola, Nutella, and coconut flakes(I subbed this for raw cacao. And I added pineapple.

The bowls and smoothies have been consistently good. I know there are mainly younger people working here but this is the only location where the music is blaring SO loud that you can barely hear yourself or the employee when I'm ordering. They also never have ginger or elderberry shots at this location. read more

I have ordered from this establishment twice from work added a Celsius water but never received them but always refunded for them.

UPDATED REVIEW: So I do believe it was a bad day or the girl working that day was not doing her work properly. I did go back after the incident and was told that the joji berries don't blend which I didn't believe because they have blended plenty of times prior to my incident. I have been back around 3 times and order the same thing and the consistency has been the same. I do recommend. I need to be better with names so I can just share who to avoid when ordering. Over all 4 stars ___________________________________________ Original Review : I live right around the corner and typically I enjoy playa bowl but not sure if there was an issue today or the ladies working today were just rude. I was there for 30 mins , they were in fact busy but everyone got their bowls/ smoothies in under 10 mins even people who came and ordered after me. I ordered 1 smoothie to their 2 bowls. Then I inquired about my smoothie because I'm confused & I was polite when asking. They say sorry we're working on it now I say nothing and sit back down. I get my smoothie about 5 minutes later and just leave because I have an attitude and don't want to be unnecessarily rude about a smoothie because it's really just a smoothie. I get in the car driving home and start drink said smoothie and it's so chunky not blended it's like they blended it for 2 seconds , I'm chewing the pineapples and jogi berries like I'm so confused on what the issue was but personally while it's the only smoothie place near me . I'd rather just door dash better quality else where. Not sure if it's a one off error but I'm very big on if I'm paying for a service and left a 30% tip for a smoothie , I expect a blended smoothie in the order that I placed it. read more

I ordered the Nutella Açaí Bowl. When ordering this you would imagine you are going to receive a bowl full of nectar from the gods. The overall presentation was the equivalent of a slightly tipsy Picasso. Almost there, but not it. The overall taste is honestly pretty good. Not too much chocolate that would clash with the fruity açaí. Some of the açaí brought the arctic regions of Bulgaria to my taste buds- freezing them to go into a cryogenic state. The taste was sweet but not too sweet- quite the good balance actually. The service is what you would expect- vsco girls taking your order and looking at you judgingly from behind the counter while talking to eachother instead of focusing on your order. 2/5 stars- for decent service and what you would expect for taste. Better service and higher quality food would give it a better rating. read more
