first time to playa bowls -- lots of variety in bowls, i liked that. it had four different bases to choose from which i haven't seen before! the staff was super helpful and speedy with our order. the bowl was stuffed with goodies and so much peanut butter. the ambiance played the hits & it was nice and air conditioned. perfect for a warm summer evening to grab a bowl and cool off. read more

Playa Bowls - Booster Bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I was at the Beltline and saw how full the place looked, thought it was probably good and decided to give it a try. Service was okay, the place is clean, there's a few bar stools in case you want to eat there. The menu seemed promising. Everything sounded good and refreshing. With so many options, I couldn't decide. But I finally decided to get the 8th Ave acai bowl. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. It sounded better than it tasted. The acai blend itself was different from what I am used to (visiting from LA) and melted very quick. I understand they were busy, but the wait over 30+ minutes. To me, it wasn't worth it. Would possibly try a smoothie next time, most people were ordering that instead. read more

The owner treats her employees like crap directly in front of customers. Blatantly degrades them, rolls her eyes at them, demeans them, waves her arms around in front of customers. It's like she's putting on a show to impress customers with how much she owns her employees. Avoid this place simply for the owner's ego. read more

I came here yesterday (4/19) for the first time b/c it was right after I finished Puppy Yoga which was around the corner and wanted something to eat since it was still early around noon. My friends really liked this place so I was curious as to why. So when we got there I realized it was a smoothie bowl place. It was a bit cold yesterday, but I can always do a smoothie bowl. However I say they had an oatmeal bowl, so I opt for that instead. Well When I got my bowl it was warm which I didn't expect I thought it was gonna be like overnight oats. So I was pleasantly surprised. Bust then I was soon disappointed. I ordered the blueberry/strawberry bowl, and literally that's is what I got no pizzazz or anything not even honey on top. It was the berries and sliced almonds. Not bad right, butbwjen i went to tale my first bite? The oatmeal me just felt stiff. It was steelcut oats but it had ABSOLUTELY NO FLAVOR! It also was kinda stiff. I then asked for a drizzle of honey to try and soften it up and add some sweetness to it, but it didn't help. Usually oatmeal should be a bit softer not soupy but a bit loose and creamier. This was very stiff. I asked the server in the future could the oatmeal be made with coconut milk or something, she said they normally just use water, which I guess is fine but they dont use enough water so that the oatmeal is a bit more loose. And it has ZERO flavor. The berries did t add much flavor at all. I just figured a place that was steadily busy, would have more to their oatmeal bowl than just oatmeal with berries on top. The should take these bowls off the menu. I said next time I go I amd gonna ask if the can mux in sime coconut milk and honey when they make it and see what they say. So it is worth going back b/c my friend enjoyed her Açai bowl, and I do wanna try one for myself b/c they have so many different smoothie bowls, but unfortunately for me opt for the oatmeal one b/c it was heartier..oh well... So yes I recommend but dont get the oatmeal unless you do what i suggested and ask for some type of milk or even just more hot water amd honey to be added..that is if you don't like stiff unflavored oatmeal. read more

Playa Bowl never disappoints! I always get an açaí bowl with granola, strawberries, and Nutella! My friend got the mango base and he said it was really good! This location made our bowls really well but since it's on the beltline it is busy so expect to wait a little. Overall still a great place! read more

Honestly, this was one of the most frustrating experiences I've had at Playa Bowls. I ordered a pitaya bowl and specifically asked for the blueberries to be replaced with strawberries because I'm allergic to blueberries. I was very clear about what I wanted, yet they still made my bowl with blueberries. What made the situation even worse was that, instead of remaking the bowl after their mistake, I was basically expected to fix it myself by scooping the blueberries out of my bowl. They then gave me strawberries in a separate cup rather than simply making me a new bowl. Because I had to scoop everything out, the Nutella on my bowl came off as well. When I asked for a little more Nutella to make up for that, the employee became extremely disrespectful, literally sighing at me while I was speaking to him and trying to make it seem like the situation was somehow my fault. I also felt that he was dishonest about what had happened. I'm actually a Playa Bowls employee at a location in another state, which honestly makes this experience even more disappointing. This is absolutely not how we would handle a situation like this at my location. If we make a mistake with a customer's order, especially when an allergy is involved, the appropriate thing is to take responsibility and make it right--not have the customer fix the mistake themselves and then make them feel like they're the problem. Mistakes happen, but refusing to take ownership and having an attitude with the customer afterward is completely unnecessary. read more

Kids more interesting texting than taking an order. I got their attention, but they ran to the back to text their friends (yes, I saw their phone, they were sending laughing emojis). I stood there for 7 minutes and nobody took my order. I won't go back read more

Sad panda Saturday My playa bowl was barely half full WITH the toppings. I was honestly shocked. They are usually shareable, but not today. It makes it harder to justify a $15 treat. I was also told that the system wasn't working properly so I couldn't use my reward. So I paid full price for half full. Boo. read more

I love playa bowls! The bowl is always delicious especially the mango base. The service is super quick! Right after ordering it was almost immediately ready. The ambiance is a quick place to pick up but the do have a seating area which is great to sit and people watch on the beltline on a nice day. My only wish is the portions sizes were more consistent with each visit sometimes I get a base filled to the top with lots of topping and sometimes I get less base and a few toppings read more

Playa Bowls - Mango bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

My boyfriend I stopped here during our walk on the beltline. After looking over the menu, I decided I wanted a Mucho Mango fruit bowl for the second time. However the cashier let me know they were out of everything mango flavored for the day. I quickly pivoted and ordered the Stupid Cupid special bowl that had a strawberry, banana, and coconut base and was topped with strawberries, granola, coconut, and various chocolates. While the base was cold and refreshing, I felt as though it wasn't very flavorful. The toppings definitely carried on this particular bowl. My boyfriend enjoyed the Pink Flamingo Pitaya Bowl so I'll probably order that next time. It was a nice experience eating inside the shop as they played well known Micheal Jackson songs and people watching next to the beltline. read more

I am not an Açaí bowl fan but people kept telling me to give Playa Bowls a try. Well let's just say they did not disappoint. I had the mango berry bowl and it was phenomenal. It almost didn't make it on the drive home. I cannot wait to return to try some different based and maybe even give Açaí another try! I was impressed at the freshness of the fruit on top and the size of the blueberries. The restaurant was clean and gave off tropical vibes. The staff were nice and the place was pretty empty when I visited. My bowl was ready in under 5 minutes. I will most definitely be going back soon! read more

Gotta love Playa Bowls! Undoubtably the best place to get açaí bowls. My go-to is the Mango Berry bowl with half pitaya base and half mango base. It was a bit odd how this location has the inside of their store locked on a very hot summer day and only allowed outside orders and seating. Very conveniently located on the Beltline. read more

Worth a stop!

Playa Bowls - Açaí bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

My 1st açaí experience! I can here after an event on a Saturday morning (Run and Brunch). I did not receive this as a promotion like others in my group, but I was curious, so I pulled out the wallet and decided to treat myself! The menu is overwhelming!! So many different choices! As someone who is often indecisive, I narrowed in on my fav flavors only and made my selection from there. I ended up with the Lola Bowl and it was FANTASTIC! The employees could have been friendlier but there was a sudden influx of patrons due to the end of the event. They did manage to get the bowls out quickly, but there wasn't really any customer service. The bowl was about $12 but it is filling. Overall, I would recommend and return next time I am in the area! read more

My fave smoothie bowl place ever! I love the mango based so much hope it never leaves!

Loved this place! I was on a walk of the Beltline and ran across. I've always wanted to try an açaí bowl so I decided to stop in. They have a variety of bowls and smoothies. I got a half mango, half açaí base of their Goldie Mango bowl and it was absolutely delicious! The fruit was so fresh and the base was just what I needed to refresh me after three miles on the Beltline. I'm grateful to the cashier at the front who warned me ahead of time that their smoothies are not made sweet. My son wanted a smoothie so I was able to add some agave and he loved it! Definitely kid approved. The inside is a little small but they have outside seating. I loved the upbeat music and the colors made everything feel tropical. I'll be back and I highly recommend them! read more

Playa Bowls is always so good and their BeltLine location on Auburn is a convenient spot for those seeking a refreshing pitstop during their BeltLine adventures. Specializing in acai bowls and smoothies, this vibrant and cute spot offers a delightful menu that's hard to resist. The small size of the establishment adds to its charm, making it a perfect spot for a quick and healthy treat while enjoying the BeltLine activities--whether you're running, walking, or biking. The variety of acai bowl combinations and smoothies cater to different preferences, and I must say, I haven't had anything bad yet I will say the day I came it seemed like an ideal place to catch up on work, but the music was really too loud. A friend and I attempted to work there, and despite asking for the music to be turned down, it seemed to be a recurring issue. This may make Playa Bowls on the BeltLine more suitable for a quick grab-and-go rather than a workspace. Parking is a consideration, as you'll need to pay unless you're lucky enough to find street parking on Krog or Auburn. Unfortunately, Playa Bowls does not validate parking. read more

Okay so I didn't know smoothie bowls were capable of being this GOOD. I LOVE the coconut option & recently started adding Nutella! I always take out the banana & swap with strawbs. Service is always amazing! Everyone there captures the lax beach vibe & I love it. Perfect place to go if you're walking around krog on a hot day! read more

Visited Playa Bowls for the first time on Saturday afternoon and it exceeded my expectations! The worker at the register answered the few questions I had and was really sweet and nice. I ordered the Electric Mermaid Pitaya Bowl and I added strawberries to it. It was amazing! I think the price was reasonable for what you get. I could honestly eat there every day and I can't wait to go back to try more bowls. My friend had the Nutella Açaí Bowl and also loved it. I don't think you can go wrong with anything from here. They also have smoothies if you don't want a bowl! If you're wanting something refreshing and light to eat I recommend trying Playa Bowls! read more

I got a peanut butter and banana based smoothie as I was walking along the BeltLine. The smoothie was very thick (which I really like). I underestimated how peanut buttery it would be so probably wouldn't get this again but appreciate that the smoothies here use a lot of ingredients rather than blending with ice to thicken it up. The service was quick and I really like all the variety that they have. read more

My gf found this place on postmates about a week ago, and since then we have ordered from them about 5 times. It's safe to say, she likes them. Her favorite is the pura vida açaí bowl, add bananas. She gets that every single time. It's very good, very sweet. I've tried the electric mermaid pitaya bowl, the kowbunga smoothie, and the mermaid fuel juice. The smoothie was not good to me, I didn't even finish it. But I loved the juice and the bowl was really good too. The service here is nice and quick. And the music is good. Due to COVID, only 2 people can come in at a time. After you order, you step out and they call your name at the window to pick up your stuff. One thing I really like is that the bowls, cups and straws are all eco friendly/made from plants/compostable. The first time we visited the actual storefront, we'd tried to order in again, but unfortunately they were busy and weren't taking PM orders. We checked back a few times, but they still weren't available. I'm hesitant to leave the apartment these days, but she insisted bc she just HAD to have it. Another reason I was a little hesitant is because I noticed that they are located on the beltline, which I know can be a little (lot) difficult to navigate, especially when you're not on foot. I've been in Atlanta for years and know my way around, so it was easy to make it to Auburn. But my lord, it was so hard for me to find this place. The very first time we drove we parked on the backside of the studio plex area. They have paid parking through the gate, but I chanced it and just pulled up to one of the free spaces. (I *would not* advise this though, they literally have the boots attached to the signs!!) To make it easy on you, GPS to the Ayla apartments. There is parking, and a direct path to the spot! read more

1st time there. Got the Nutella bowl sub coconut for cocoa nibs. 1 star for the bowl, 1 for service and 1 for the speediness of my order. The bowl lacked flavor and Nutella.

All in all, I've had better bowls and probably will go elsewhere. read more

I have had some awesome açaí bowls before in Hawaii. I will say this place is #2 on my list. I will always recommend this place to anyone who asks me. The area this place is in was great. The bowl I got only came with bananas and honey. I added peanut butter and strawberries. Sadly I forgot the name of it (the first one on the top left). For me the store was hard to find because the GPS took us in the wrong direction for walking because they had some construction in the area going on. read more

Two stars strictly based off of the cashier. I felt judged the entire time and it made me wildly uncomfortable. It should not take that much to be friendly when you work in customer service. Keep that bs at the house or go find a job where you don't have to interact with customers. Power Bowl was good, but based off of the cashier (others behind him were not exactly friendly either), find another spot. Oh, the juices are $7.99. I normally would never, but figured I'd just shut my mouth and go. It was tasty. But that price is absolutely criminal. read more
