I stopped in for a quick smoothie and was a little skeptical when the menu listed smoothies that only included coconut or almond milk. I'm not a fan of either, but decided to order anyway. Can I just say Playa Bowls has converted me!! I'm a believer! The smoothie was delish and super fresh! I ordered the Kowabunga smoothie, it included blueberries, strawberries, bananas, and coconut milk. Playa Bowls also carries bowls, cold pressed juices, juices, cold brews, and of course the smoothies! Really cool and laid back vibe with plenty of seating inside. The person making my smoothie had so much overage, I received another smoothie just because! Excellent customer service! I'm a fan and plan to be a return customer! read more

Got a Nica Bowl that has no coconut in it because I hate coconut and somehow I still got coconut flakes even though they aren't apart of the recipe for the bowl. Got a smoothie too, that I substituted coconut milk out of which I actually got my oat milk. Now I get to pick out all the coconut flakes out my bowl, nice. read more

Back at Playa Bowls with my mini me and honestly, nothing has changed from our first visit, still just as great! They took my coconut allergy seriously again, so I could enjoy my PB&J Jammin' Acai bowl safely (minus the peanut butter crumble). My son loved his bowl too and officially declared Playa Bowls a new regular in our rotation :) read more

I always love coming to Playa bowls for breakfast. They make some of the best Acai bowls. I got the Nutella bowl and it tasted great. Beautiful atmosphere. read more

Worst place ever, always. If it's not the service that's an issue, it's the website and/or mobile app not working. There is a consistent problem with this business and how it operates. There only saving grace is that there aren't any other real smoothie places nearby. read more

Rude staff and extremely slow service. Placed my order at 12:20 and did not receive it until 12:45. That's ridiculous for ONE bowl that I placed online. read more

Having previously been to Playa Bowls College Park, having had a delicious experience, I was ecstatic-when I began craving acai bowls-to discover Annapolis had a location! We opted to order online for two reasons: 1. Easier customization & 2. App discount codes! What I enjoy about Playa Bowls, compared to competitors, is while they offer a deliciously large variety of pre-made bowls, if a specific bowl doesn't quite hit the spot they allow for an even swap of ingredients (one for one-free of charge-easy to make alterations & customizations- & they allow going half & half on base flavors free of charge. Along with this, their prices for add-ons are very reasonable! I disagree with other reviews stating they are pricier- the free customizations alone makes them a better buy than competitors- honestly the flat bowl prices are about the same, but their servings are larger & they provide more topping combinations. For example- another franchise we often get allows for 1 crunchy, 2 fruits- while the Playa bowl I chose offered 2 crunchy, 3 fruits, and a protein. We ordered: Coco Craze: swapping the pineapple, coconut, and honey for almond butter, kiwi, and hemp seeds- also splitting half coconut blend base with half acai base- I loved the creaminess of the coconut- and the fruit chunks were large, fresh, and juicy- they provided massive scoops of almond butter and a thick layer of granola Nica Banana: smothered toppings- just beyond packed with ingredient- trying to mix them all up they were just falling out the sides from being stuffed! I loved the creamy banana blend-which had chunks of banana throughout Tide Banana: replacing pineapple, honey, and bee pollen with blueberries, strawberries, and peanut butter. Again large fresh, juicy fruit chunks, with massive scoops of peanut butter and a thick layer of granola A must visit, will go again, want to try all the combinations, and very excited to see there are rotating special bowls-mixing things up! Friendly staff, easy to order on the app, made fresh to order, right on time. Ample parking lot spaces to pop in and out! read more

Hello there Playa Bowls Annapolis! Ever since participating in a Yelp event for the Playa Bowls location in Baltimore, I have been hooked! However, I have yet to find myself back in that part of town. Needless to say, I found myself in Annapolis for a medical appointment and since I basically had a busy day of health appointments, I wanted a quick and healthy breakfast to enjoy between appointments. I stopped by Playa Bowls on a Monday morning around 9:45 and it was empty. I was able to walk right up and place my order. Ever since I had the Electric Mermaid, I knew I had to get it again so that's what I got. The Electric Mermaid has a pitaya base and is topped with granola, kiwi, mango, pineapple, and coconut. Finally, it's drizzled with a touch of honey. I planned to take my bowl with me to my next appointment but couldn't resist. I devoured it right in the car before leaving. Let me just say that Playa Bowls has the smoothie bowl game on lock! They have various bases for the bowls with a variety of topping combinations. After looking at the extensive menu, if nothing strikes your fancy, you still have the ability to create and customize a bowl any way you wish. In addition to smoothie bowls, they sell smoothies, freshly pressed juices and oatmeal bowls. It's the perfect place to grab a healthy, fresh breakfast or snack. I really hope to see Playa Bowls expand even further. Since I now live in Howard County, I'd love to see a location in my county or at least in western Anne Arundel (Odenton, Gambrills, Crofton area). read more

Hands down the best location for Playa Bowls. I have frequented a few different locations and overall, the cleanliness of this storefront is impeccable, the bathroom is always fully stocked, the ingredients are fresh, the entire area smells of pineapples, and the staff is enthusiastic and forever friendly. This is our go-to spot for acai bowls after a gym session or even dessert after dinner. It is well worth the 30+ minute drive and $12+ bowls. read more

This is literally my favorite açaí place in the area. I haven't found one yet that can beat it. I don't necessarily care for their "coffee" but their bowls are unbeatable. read more

So this is going to be short and sweet. I came to check out Playa Bowl after stopping at my usual spot 'Robeks', and seeing that they were closed for construction. I walked in to silence, as the staff looked up at me and finished making smoothies as though I was invisible. They all looked to be young White teenagers (17-19). I took some time to review the menu and walked to the counter to place an order. An employee came out to the register, glanced at me and turned back around and walked to the back kitchen area and never came back out. I waited about 2 more minutes at the counter, and no one approached me or greeted me not once. This told me all that I needed to know, and I did not want someone with negative/ill intentions based off my skin color making a smoothie/juice for me. As I look at this establishment, I am not the first person that has experienced racial profiling. I will continue to support Robeks, and I truly hope that the Playa Bowl team can do some diversity awareness + customer service training and get their ish together. read more

Great bowls you can customize by adding more fruit or other yummy ingredients. Use the application so you can order your bowl and minimize the waiting time. read more

The açaí bowls are absolutely amazing don't get me wrong but I went to this place 2-3 times and I understand that there might be a long wait with so many people. But today I went and ordered just one, one açaí bowl and I kid you not I waited for a good 30-40 minutes I swear I'm not exaggerating. I honestly thought that it was because there was a few people there. However everyone working there attended everyone that came after me quickly. All of a sudden on of the girls that worked there asked me what I had ordered and I told her that I had only ordered one açaí bowl. She then proceeded to rush and make my açaí bowl in like 5-10 minutes. I don't really know how I now they are busy and maybe understaffed but I didn't like the fact that I waited for so long just for one thing. read more

Super cute spot for healthy choices. Their menu is quite extensive with a plethora of options to choose from...almost overwhelmingly so for someone as picky as me! But, they were patiently waiting for me to order and even allowed me to change a few things. I ended up getting a pataya bowl...electric mermaid...I think that's the official name. Either way, it was decadently delicious! And, the portion sizes were spot on. Super excited they're in close proximity...we'll be back for sure! read more

I can honestly say I've never had a pleasant experience with playa bowl. I keep coming back because they make a decent bowl but their customer service is awful. I went in today and the person at the register did not look at me or acknowledge my existence. She didn't say anything throughout the entire exchange. It's just strange what a lack of customer service training they have. They make a good smoothie bowl though, you just have to wait a bit read more

Great bowls but honestly poor service I been couple time and seems like the cashier not even happy, never heard a welcoming or anything, I love this place, thinking on give another chance. read more

The strawberries on my bowl one time were very soggy and gross. Made me not wanna come back.

drove 20-mins excitedly after learning a new PB was now in my county. got there and watched Carter bag a white, male customers order, & walk it around the register to hand it to him with a smile. when it came to my order, she called out my name, sat the bowl at the edge of the counter & walked away. hmmmm. was it because i'm a black-dark skinned woman? guessing i didn't deserve the same effort of service as the other guy?? thank god for Will, who when i asked "do i get a bag?" ... came to the rescue... picked up my bowl, & bagged it with a smile. i called when i got in the car & shared my disappointment with Will about my experience. he said he understood & he apologized. i accepted. needless to say, i'm one & done! read more

came in at 7:50 and they wouldn't serve me after I called to make sure they were still open and serving because online was off and they said yes, you can come in. The girl behind the counter was very rude/sassy and said I should've ordered online (after they just got off the phone with me and told me to come in). They told me no one ever called to check. Clearly didn't want to serve me read more

Great setting! So bright and colorful but not too much. I had tried this company in another state and it was good! So glad that they opened one in MD. The food was great and the service was fast. 11/10 recommend read more

The açaí bowls are so good, and have a lot of options! They have gluten free granola for those sensitive to gluten. The Annapolis location usually gets my order wrong though, there's almost always something missing or a substitution overlooked. Please pay closer attention. Every other location I've tried has been great, and I'm happy to have found a delicious place for açaí bowls. read more

The smoothies and bowls are good but I don't recommend doing an online order. I have done multiple online orders here, 6 actually. Each time it charges my card twice (which later gets refunded, but what a pain) and they never have it ready when I get there. In fact, once I am there, they find my order, then start making it. There is no point in ordering ahead. read more
