    Stupid Cupid
    Sheila R.

    Playa Bowls has a huge selection and the possibilities for creating different bowls seem endless. I was excited to return and appreciated the offer for Yelp Elites to get a free bowl. I ordered the Stupid Cupid bowl, which I would recommend to anyone who enjoys chocolate covered strawberries. It has a fruit base and is topped with a plentiful amount of strawberries, coconut, granola and Nutella. The bowl was visually appealing, filling and a perfect lunch!! No need to add any other toppings, but I appreciate that there's an option to customize. The staff is always friendly every time I go to Playa Bowls. The bowls are great for any time of day. Highly recommend!!

    Beautifully decorated for the holiday season . Was not too pack at the time i ordered so my order was prepared very quickly . They even pronounce my name right . Yaaaayyyy Establishment was very clean and my bowl was great. The Nutella açaí bowl is my favorite and they never disappoint.

    The Playa Bowls started in 2014 in New Jersey by Robert Giuliani and Abby Taylor; they purchased a blender, refrigerator, freezer, and patio table and started creating acai bowls for the public. Now, there are 200 stores nationwide creating fresh superfruit bowls, smoothies, juices, and cold brew coffee, with quality ingredients. There are 7 bases for the playa (beach) Bowls; from coconut, pitaya (dragon fruit), acai, coconut, green, mango, banana, oatmeal, stupid cupid, and booster base. On these bowls, there are a variety of toppings. I decided to get a 16 oz. Pink Pitaya smoothie which had Pitaya (dragonfruit) and coconut milk for $8.99. This was simple and tasty. Next time, I look forward to trying out the bowls. This location is located in the Avon Marketplace. The interior was cute and tropical; there was a lounge area with a fireplace. There were plenty of seating and the customer service was good. It was a good treat and it definitely brought me back to the tropical islands, I look forward to going back.

    "I could change my life to better suit your mood Because you're so smooth" (Carlos Santana) A very cool beautiful, tropical themed place where the old Yankee Candle used to be. They sell a big variety of healthy drinks and snacks in the form of bowls and smoothies. The bowls can be Acai, Mango, Pitaya, Coconut, Green, Banana, Chia, or Oatmeal based. The Smoothies are mostly plant based in the Banana, Coconut, Peanut Butter, Strawberry, Pineapple, Matcha, Orange, Blueberry, and Acai families. You can make your bowl or Smoothie to order or go with one of their signature combinations. We enjoyed a 16 -ounce Kowabunga Smoothie, one of their signature choices. It was made with Banana, strawberry, blueberry, and coconut milk all whipped up into a thick frothy drink that was refreshing and not sweet at all. It cost $8.99 and contained just 230 calories. They're a great addition to the plaza.

    Got to check out Playa bowls at Avon. These bowls were a treat! Healthy and filling. Everything is fresh too! They don't serve just bowls but smoothies too! You can get it as healthy as you want and add toppings you want, modify ones from the menu too. Avon location is big with multiple tables to sit and enjoy. Service was also wonderful so couldn't have asked for better! Check out their winter specials!

    Went to the opening of the Avon Playa Bowl and it's a very nice location. Very warm customer service and like the decor they have there over the Glastonbury and West Htfd one. I enjoy the coconut milk base and my daughter enjoys the banana base. The coconut milk base is very light and I enjoy the coco craze. You won't be disappointed with any of them as they are so filling and refreshing. I usually split one w 2 bowls to share w my daughter as it's too big to eat by yourself

    Playa Bowls has recently opened a new location in Avon. I was in the mood for an açaí bowl, so I popped over. Their menu is huge, they have a variety of different bases you can choose from. I went with the Chia Pudding. I got the Chia Tella, this is a Chia Pudding base, topped with granola, Nutella, banana, strawberries and coconut flakes. The space inside is very beachy and inviting. They have a lot of available seating at the bar tops by the window or inside by the colorful walls. There are also a few spots outside. They have their signature blue lounge seats outside. My order was ready pretty quickly. It was delicious! The strawberries and banana were fresh, the granola was crunchy, and there were plenty of coconut flakes for some added crunchy sweetness. The chia pudding was sweetened with agave. I like how the bowls aren't huge, and this isn't a heavy portion, so I could finish it on my own. I also signed up for their awards program, so I can receive coupons towards future bowls. Playa Bowls is a great addition to the area.

    Hands down my favorite place to go after a run! The fruit is always so fresh and they put the toppings on so neatly. The service is usually good- one of the workers re-made my bowl once when they accidentally put honey on it and gave my friend a new bowl for free when she spilled it! The place is always clean, but the music is a little loud and I usually can't hear my friend's voices so we take advantage of the outdoor seating.

    Really happy they opened a location in Avon- great bowls, smoothies and customer service. We ordered the special mango bowl but I've also had the pitaya and açaí bowls as well a couple of the smoothies. All are really good (though somewhat sweet). Looking forward to trying other menu items in the future.

    Healthy and delicious These bowls are off the charts! All the ingredients are so fresh and flavorful. The Açaí bowls are my favorite. I especially love the Stupid Cupid So so good. Check these guys out!

I walked inside, there was no one else inside, but the employee and myself. This place specializes in smoothies, since they have a pretty large menu of a variety of different smoothies to choose from. There were about four açaí bowls on the menu. I decided to go with the Health Nut bowl. The space inside isn't huge, but there's a few places for sitting, bar stools or at the tables. They also have an artificial fireplace burning. My açaí bowl was ready pretty quickly. I had it in my car. The base was made of a refreshing and cool blend of açaí, strawberry, blueberry and banana. It had a nice berry color to it. It was topped with granola, almonds, peanut butter and goji berries. This was so delicious, and a very generous size. I couldn't finish it in one go. I didn't pick the best time to have this on a particularly cold day, holding the cold bowl wasn't very pleasant on my already cold hands. I was just wishing and imagining it was 80 degrees, and I'm cooling off with my tasty açaí bowl. While this was a great and healthy pick, I wish they offered a few more varieties of açaí bowls.

The base is made of açaí, almond milk, pineapple, mango, banana and blueberries. It was topped with granola, pineapple, banana, coconut and honey. This was so fresh! I could hear the blender running as the girl, blended everything for me. There's no freezer burn here. It was cold, fresh, and so delicious! I also think $11.00 is a great value. I once paid $17 for an açaí bowl on my travels somewhere, the portion was tiny and it was far from fresh.

In fact, the space doesn't look much different at all from the way it was laid out under Fosters. Rush Bowls sells two categories of food -$8 Smoothies and $10 Rush Bowls in dozens of variations and permutations. Let's start with their Smoothies. There are seventeen smoothies broken down into four basic categories of Acai, Signature, Rejuvenate, and Juice (Apple or OJ). They have different combinations of fruit (mango, blueberry, peach, banana, pineapple, strawberries, raspberries, dragon fruit, coconut, liquids (milks, juices),and an assortment of extras (granola, honey, kale, spinach, granola, acai, peanut butter, whey, frozen yogurt, chocolate sauce, avocado, espresso, and even lemonade). Their twenty juice based Bowls are similar, and you eat them with a spoon instead of a straw. My wife ordered the PB Crunch Smoothie with Banana, Peanut Butter, Granola, Milk and Froyo. I had a sip and loved its distinctive peanut flavor. I went with a Dragon Bowl of Dragon fruit, Banana, Strawberry, Blueberry, Coconut Milk, Apple Juice, chocolate sauce, and three toppers - Granola, Honey and Almonds. I liked it a lot, it had great flavor and plenty of crunch from the granola and almonds. We chatted with the two young ladies who were preparing our order and learned the store had only been open for a few weeks. Apparently, they are busiest lunch time when the locals come in for a quick to go order. My Bowl was pretty filling, so I definitely saw how it is becoming popular as a lunch option.

Two things struck me right away when I walked into Liquid Nirvana. The first was their humongous menu board offering dozens of amazing juices, boosts, bites, bowls, smoothie bowls, granola, seasonals and specials. You might be well served to check out their menu before you visit, because reading everything will take you a while. The other feature that jumped out at me was the large number of games and kid-friendly things everywhere - a pint-sized blackboard easel with chalk and pastels, table sized tic tac toe boards, a full-sized Connect Four game, a kiddie sized basketball hoop, and a Skee ball game. If you didn't know you were in a juice and smoothie bar, you might think you were in a daycare center! The interior is adorable! Plenty of bright popping color, interesting artwork, gorgeous color art on their storefront glass, Bric a Brac décor, and three small tables that can seat a total of nine customers. Everything here is made fresh to order for natural ingredients -yogurt, milks, fruits, and vegetables. No powdered scoops of anything. They have a sign on the wall letting you know that "since we make everything from scratch, your order may take 10-1 minutes to make". Well, let me tell ya that every second of our wait was worth it. We bought a medium sized Almond Joy Nirvana Smoothie ($9) with coconut, honey milk, almond, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and banana. The banana and chocolate flavors really popped. Holy Moley was it fantastic. Great job Liquid Nirvana. We found your product and consumer experience to be outstanding.

It can only sit two patrons at a time. Their menu has a wide range of smoothies, juices, açaí bowls and avocado toast. I decided to go for the toast with peanut butter and banana. There were only two people working here, they weren't particularly friendly. They did make what I requested. The bread was a very generous slice of toasted Sourdough Bread.

There was an equally generous spreading of peanut butter, followed by sliced banana, honey and chia seeds. It arrived in a to go container. Which is wasteful, since I planned on sitting inside. This was pretty delicious! I love peanut butter with banana, it's sweet and nutty! This was $6.99. Their other options of toast also look pretty tasty!

The center showcase has individual chocolates and fudge for you to order by the piece or by weight. We picked up two squares of fudge -an orange beauty that tasted like a Creamsicle, and a layered work of art with chocolate and nuts and toffee. Fudge is priced at $1.12/oz. They are a welcome addition to one of our favorite shopping centers and should do pretty well with their candies and fudge for the holidays. I imagine as the weather warms up in the spring, they'll do a great business with their shakes, smoothies, bobas, and bubble teas. Welcome to the Valley!
