    8th Ave Acai Bowl added Stawberries
    Cat M.

    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.

    Nutelloco Coconut Bowl, Stupid Cupid,  Pura Vida Acai Bowl
    Sanzi P.

    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 :)

    Nutella Acai Bowl
    Krista B.

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

    Pura Vida Acai Bowl  Beach Break Juice
    Zara P.

    All the ingredients seemed so fresh and were put together so well. I enjoyed my pura vida bowl a lot. The carrot juice was okay but I think I'm not a carrot juice person. This was also a refreshing dish to have at the beach. I would stop by again.

    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.

    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!

    Finally made to this ever popular place. And, I can certainly see what all the fuss is about. Fresh and healthy ingredients, friendly service, hip atmosphere, and simply an overall cool and refreshing treat while at the beach. Aptly known as Playa Bowls! We ordered a Lola Bowl with a Nutella add-on, Trailblazer Bowl, and a Dolce Smoothie. My Lola bowl was tasty, filling and quite a treat, especially with the Nutella add-on. For an extra 50 cents you can add-on additional toppings to your bowl. My bowl was basically a meal and a dessert all in one. The bowls at a price point of $9-11 dollars are all freshly made to order, which explains the lines. Good tasty things take time! The service was fantastic and I was especially impressed that each patron was asked about any allergies. My friend has an almond allergy and after our server found that out, she omitted the granola from the Trailblazer bowl, because it contains almonds.

    We want to love it here, they have so many things going for them! When they're good, they're GREAT…read more When they're not... the cheese on the cheese fries is runny instead of thick, the ice cream is foamy instead of creamy, the sundaes are sloppy instead of luscious, and sandwiches randomly don't come with chips as they usually do. They're also always out of some menu items: mac and cheese, whipped cream, etc. Depending on who is working they'll either cheerily bring the food to your table (it's counter service) or just yell your name from inside. They also charge a 3% "dine service charge" with no explanation. I hope they can find some consistency because we really want to support this adorable place.

    OCEAN GROVE: Dale and Dollops is a diner right on Main Ave. offering a full range of…read moreAmerican-style vegan options. Healthy and delicious, we enjoyed the tempeh Caesar salad, the chickpea tuna salad sandwich, and a milkshake. They are open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and you can also stop in for a smoothie, soft serve ice cream, ice cream sundae, and a milkshake! Order inside and they'll bring it out to you! Leashed dogs are allowed at the cute outdoor seating and you can people watch and enjoy the weather. A couple of tables on the porch are covered by the building and another couple are on the sidewalk. It is also very sunny, so make sure your dog is comfortable from the heat and sits in a shaded spot. We were told dogs are also allowed inside and when we took a peek,, it is such a fun space! There are old-school games, a Photo Booth, and has a bright and colorful design! 69 Main Avenue Ocean Grove, NJ 07756
