    This was more of a smoothie than a bowel. Blonde girl making the bowl was rude unprofessional threw the lids at us when we ask for them.

    I ordered a bowl this is more of a smoothie. Blonde girl making the bowls was rude and unprofessional she threw the lids at us when we asked for them and rudely gave the code to use the restroom.

    Wanted something fresh after drinking too much beer the day before. I love Playa bowls. This location is clean, bright, and has friendly staff. In the warmer weather it's a perfect location to grab breakfast and eat on the beach.

    Decent portions but a little inconsistent from day to day if you order frequently. Staff is friendly and quick. Try either an 8th Ave or Nutella bowl if you haven't had them before.

    Tropical Acai Bowl
    Lindsay B.

    This was a refreshing afternoon meal, perfect for after sitting by the beach and in the sun. The amount of options on types of bowls you can get is outstanding. Usually at açaí bowl places, they serve only that. Playa Bowls has a variety of bowls like chia seed pudding, banana, coconut, greens, and açaí bases with tons of topping options. The Tropical bowl was delicious and I was able to substitute the pineapple for mango easily. The bowl was sweet and the fruit was fresh and delicious.

    If you are looking for a refreshing treat after a day at the beach, look no further. Playa Bowls has you covered. They have so many different fruity sweet options, they will surely have something for everyone. They have a banana, dragon fruit, açaí, coconut, or green thick smoothie bases which can be topped with an assortment of fruits, granola, coconut flakes, Nutella, honey, etc. There are vegan options and they offer substitutes. Even though it looks small, a bowl is enough to fill you up as a light lunch or snack. They have a shared restroom in the back by their coffee area, which is pretty clean for a bathroom on the beach. :)

    Nutelloco Coconut Bowl

    I ordered for pickup. There pickup times are pretty long so I don't think I'll do it again unless I order way ahead of time. Staff was friendly. I ordered the Nutelloco Coconut Bowl and it was delicious. Definitely fills you up and I had some left over for the next day. The ingredients are fresh and taste good together. Quite the combination.

    I just loved the vibes when you walk into this place. Fun and colorful, lots of comfortable seating that says "Welcome!" We came off peak, on a Monday afternoon in early May. I suppose this place will get quite backed up during the peak season, but hey, I'm rating them for this particular visit. A lot of options on fruit bowls and smoothies. A coffee bar on the side, again with a lot of options. We had one of the fruit bowls. The base was some kind of coconut/banana ice and it was topped with bananas, strawberries and nutella. I was looking for something tasty, and while this was probably loaded with calories, I'm sure it was better for you than a big bowl of ice cream! (Don't worry, I will go for the ice cream next time!) We took it to go, went across the street and ate it on the beach. Ahhhh.

    Sooo yummy and perfect refresher for a hot beach day! I wish that I got more Nutella on my bowl though- that would be the only complaint I have. Other than that, I loved the bowl! The service was also very good.

    Green Smoothie
    Rachel S.

    Always delicious and refreshing- just wish it wasn't $8 for a small smoothie. Service is aways an issue as well so be prepared to wait

    Definitely THE most crowded of all their locations. Take advantage of their excellent online ordering and just go in to pick up. Since I'm only at this location when the weather is nice I'd rather take my bowl to go and sit across the street on the boardwalk. But they do have a large space with plenty of seating. I love my acai bowls but the craziness in here is more than I can handle. Pickup and make a run for it is the way to go at this location :)

    Loved this place!! Refreshing after a day at the beach! Service was friendly and the ingredients were fresh!

    I typically go in the afternoon to Playa but always deal with a long wait. So I switched things up and decided to order my bowl early in the morning (~9:40a) using the orderspoon app. The app suggested my order would be ready by 10:20a but glad I walked up after finalizing my transaction cuz my bowl was def ready. I've tried many bowls but my FAVE is the pura vida acai bowl even though I mixed the base today with 1/2 stupid cupid (strawberry base). I just love the simplicity of the strawberry/blueberry, crunchy granola drizzled with honey over the base. The Belmar location is by far the best one, especially since it's the OG of em all!

    Chelsea C.

    I'll start off by saying, order ahead of time and pick up. This place gets insanely busy but it's truly so so good and perfect to eat on the beach! Very filling and satisfying portions. Like I said, order ahead of time and it'll be the perfect experience.

On a Friday afternoon the line was just a few people long, but I can imagine it is out the door on the weekends. Everything I loved about Hey Peach: -Bakery items were so good and there was so much to choose from. I got a vanilla bean scone and it was the perfect level of sweetness. -A simple but solid cafe menu. I opted for a matcha latte and it was delicious, perfectly sweet, very refreshing. -Pup friendly! I popped my head in to make sure it was okay to get in line with my dog and get a resounding yes. They don't have seats inside, so it was just for ordering purposes. -A few sidewalk tables. Perfect to enjoy a bit of my sweet snack and drink before continuing on. -A very kind team. It seemed busy but everyone was so lovely to chat with. I can't wait to come back and try more of their incredible looking pastries! The great cafe is just a few blocks away from the water, so make the trip the next time you leave the beach and need a caffeine or pastry refresh from the sun.

The laminated pastries were insanely good, especially the almond croissant, pretzels, cookies, the coconut-rimmed pastry, and a few others I'm sadly forgetting the names of. The matcha was also delicious and clearly well made, and the cold brew was so good too, $5 for a small cup and totally worth it. They also have a punch card for drinks, which is a nice bonus. Staff was on it and efficient, and the bakery itself feels incredibly well run. Timing definitely matters here. In early May, we got lucky with a shorter line and lots of options around noon on a Saturday. By mid-May, the line was already down the sidewalk around 9 a.m. on a Saturday during Mother's Day weekend. There's no indoor seating, just a couple outdoor tables. Definitely check it out!

My girlfriend and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon in June. The taproom felt spacious with natural light, and was well decorated with off-white walls and interesting plant decor. Definitely a relaxing and welcoming vibe. The place was decently crowded but not overwhelmingly so for most of our time there. We love dogs and they had a ton of dogs inside, so we were in heaven. 10 beers on tap, plus one seltzer, and a nice variety in the list. I liked that the list was broken down by types of beers (easy drinking and crisp, hoppy and hazy, dark and strong), and each beer had a detailed description next to it. This should honestly be the norm for breweries. We each had a flight so we were able to sample most of the menu. The beer was pretty good. We enjoyed all that we had, but nothing stood out to us as super memorable. We live on the other side of NJ, so we can't be regulars, but we would definitely stop by again the next time we're in the area.
