    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.

    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

    Pura Vida Acai Bowl

    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!

    HEALTHY TREATS are here at Halcyon ! Much better alternative to ice cream !! Surprisingly large bowls ! Super refreshing after a walk with the dogs. We had them outside but were invited in

    Nutella Acai Bowl

    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.

    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!

    Pura Vida Acai Bowl
    Linna L.

    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 :)

    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.

    Power Acai Bowl
    Miranda C.

    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.

    Matthew H.

    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.

    Michele R.

    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.

    Lynn B.

    Great smoothie, juice, açaí and oatmeal bowl choices. Fast service. Offer 12 oz. And 16oz. size smoothies unlike some of the other smoothie places.

While we were waiting two more customers came into the shop--they ordered two smoothies and two food items. They received both of their food items and both of their smoothies before we received our smoothies. At this point four more customers had walked into the shop and while they were ordering one of our smoothies was ready, about 15 minutes or so after we originally ordered. As this next group of people's orders started to come up I walked up to the counter to let them know that we were still waiting on our second item to which I was met with a snarky "yeah..I know". This girl literally could not have been more bothered that I was requesting the item I paid for 25 minutes and 6 other people ago. I was quite literally speechless. Mind you the shop was completely empty when we walked in. There were three employees just standing around and I tipped five dollars ahead of time on a $13 order. It had already been almost 25 minutes and I've not said anything and could not have been met with a more rude response. After the other six customers had come and gone with all of their items, my "smoothie" finally came up and there's no way it was what I ordered. It wasn't even a smoothie. It was a watered down version of I don't even know what. I can't for the life of me understand what happened. When we walked in, they weren't busy. They weren't prepping. They weren't on the phone. Literally nothing. There were three employees to make two smoothies. I tipped extremely generously upfront and didn't complain. Was met with extreme sass, still didn't complain and wasn't even given what I ordered. Entitled much?

    Speedway is my primary stop when I am on the road, I use them for fuel, bathrooms, refreshments and…read moreof course food. Over the past year, I have stopped at probably well over 600 Speedway stores around the country. In addition to offering some great new store redesigns from the old cookie cutter C-Store that we all grew up with Speedway has done a fantastic job in offering more than just a place to buy gas, candy bars, chips and maybe a cold processed, refrigerator sandwich. With the introduction of the "SpeedyCafe", they have suddenly begun to compete with other stores like Sheetz and Wah Wah in this area. But as evidenced by this SpeedyCafe store I have to question their commitment to this new design and business model! I stopped on Friday and fueled my car and then parked and went inside to eat, use the restroom and take a break. Restrooms were clean as always, 6 STAR. I received a fuel discount of $0.50 for using my Rewards connected Speedway Payment Card and then came inside to order and eat. The kitchen was staffed by one gentleman and one I placed my order on the kiosk he began to prepare it while I shopped. Seven minutes later I dad two (2) Buffalo Chicken Wraps at the table. Both were very well done and I enjoyed them immensely. Had I wrote my review on that day I would have surely awarded them 5 stars. FAST FORWARD this week, I have been on the same route all week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and have stopped to do my routine. Monday I pumped gas and used my speedy payment card then walked into the store to find the food counter "closed" with paper notes taped over the terminals where you order. Sorry, NO FOOD Today. Tuesday I returned and instead of pumping gas first I walked inside to order, again, paper notes taped to the displays saying "CLOSED". Well, nothing I can do about it so I pull back out and pull into Quick Trip a block away toward GA 400 and I fuel up and grab some hot fresh food. Good to GO! Today, the third day in a row I pull into Speedy Cafe, hungry and ready to eat and I pull up to the fuel pump and then again walk inside to order and find once again paper notes taped to all the food kiosk, they are "CLOSED"!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again I pull out and head one block back down the block toward GA 400 where I had exited earlier and stop at Quick Trip. I fuel and I eat. Tomorrow I will probably save my time and just stop at Quick Trip before I try to go to Speedway since I really doubt they will be open to serve or make fresh food. I will also shop and fuel where I stop. I love Speedway and the reward points they offer. I was able to use their app and my points to get up to $0.50 off every gallon of fuel I purchased on my vacation a few weeks ago. No place else I can do that. I gave this Speedway 5 Stars on the review but the Cafe portion is rarely open or staffed. My time is more important than your reward points so I need to stop at a place I can do everything in one stop and you have proven that SpeedyCafe is not that place. I do not know why, maybe it is a staffing issue, maybe it is a supplier issue, maybe it is just extremely poor management but you have sent a customer to your direct competitor a block away that on most days between food, merchandise and fuel spends in the range of $125 -180 per day. I realize that is not much in the grand scale but you have lost that from me and how many others. The SpeedyCafe food is great and priced right, but if you cannot staff the counter then why have it? Maybe a new manager is in order who can manage your location and staffing. I don't know the answer but I do know that if one of my guys is a not show I cannot close a service and I as the manager have to stop in and fill that role in addition to mine. Something is not right here at this site. By the way, the SpeedyCafe on Buford Highway has always been stellar! So, it can be done in your business model. Obviously, Quick Trip a block away does it well when you can't.

The staff was friendly, patient, and happy to walk me through the menu, which is great if you're new to açaí bowls or have dietary preferences or allergies. The cafe itself is clean and welcoming, with a relaxed atmosphere that works just as well for a quick grab-and-go order as it does for sitting outside.
