I got the Pure Vida with a combo açaí and dragonfruit base with strawberries, blueberries, granola and a drizzle of honey. Absolutely refreshing, tasty and delightful. Service was friendly and helpful. The vibe is great with big windows and bright colors. I want to try the green bowl next. Healthy snack place yay! read more

Never received my order. Was not offered a refund or them to remake it instead told to email the manager. Terrible customer service.

Employees are so rude and disrespectful rather drive 5 miles out the way to go to a different location at least they treat you better

What a lovely little place that is in the downtown area but helps whisk you away to a beach like atmosphere. The menu is amazing, and I wanted to order 10 different smoothies and bowls, but stuck with just one. Pitaya/ red dragon fruit was the winner! So good! It was perfectly icy with the fruit frozen and puréed and not overly sweet, I loved it! I would have been happier if there were no chunks of fruit left in the bottom in large amounts that needed me to eat instead of drink, but it was still such a great blend of fruit, I enjoyed the flavor. Their outdoor and indoor seating was plentiful. Lots of space to sit and enjoy. I liked the decor, and I loved the menu. Not bad for a chain! I would be more than happy to stop here again for a bowl with pitaya or kale base or chia or banana! So many options! Amazing! Delicious! read more

We were looking for a great mid afternoon snack. Yelp led us to this little gem. I never had a pliable before and I'm so glad that today I chose to have one. It was a Chia seed pudding with strawberries and blueberries, coconut milk, and vanilla. Oh my goodness was this ever so scrumptious Also, we enjoyed a banana sliced with a frozen banana custard drizzled with honey so delicious when you're in the Bethlehem area, you must try this place read more

Oh yeah. This place is great. Bowls and smoothies are the best. Girls making them seemed friendly too. I like the atmosphere and it was very clean and comfortable while i waited. I will definitely return and recommend this place to anyone looking for a lighter fare of sweetness. read more

I've ordered here a few times, always through Grubhub and it's been good. Until now. I'm not sure why anyone thought these blueberries were ok, but they're going bad, and from the appearance it's not just from today. Other issue, the strawberries. While you cannot see it in the photo, they're fizzy in your mouth, hence they're fermenting. I don't know how long they'd have to be sitting there to start fermenting but there needs to be some serious quality control happening here. Scooped the fruit off the top, I suppose the rest is ok but I'm not sure what I paid for at this point. ** Edit to respond to business: The blueberries weren't touching the lid, therefore the lid did not squish them further, thee were slimy and bad. The strawberries did not ferment in the very short car drive over the bridge to North side near Main St. Yes, I was refunded, that doesn't excuse this lack of quality control. For the price of these bowls, I'd expect much fresher food. read more

Do yourself a favor, come here! This is the best addition to the LV in ages! With all the greasy spoon diners around it is such a nice change of pace to have a healthy option for breakfast or lunch. The options here are endless and perfect for anyone who is vegan or gluten free. I admit, it took me awhile to figure out what to get. But the sweet girls working the counter allowed me to try the bases so I could decide. So I tried them and then was even more torn! I couldn't decide between the chia seed pudding or acai base. Well guess what, they suggested I'd do half and half! So smart and so delicious. I ended up with the "Jetty" with chocolate peanut butter chia seed pudding and acai as my base. The two together was the perfect PBJ combination but way healthier. Then it was topped with blueberries, strawberries, gogi berries, gluten free granola and honey. It was sooooo damn good. Although I've had chia seed pudding before, this was way better than the attempts I've made at home. I wasn't sure what to expect with the acai base, it's actually served cold and kind of reminds of sorbet. It was healthy and heavenly. I am already planning my next visit.l before I leave town! read more

Did a take out order from here today! Originally it said it'd be ready in 20 minutes but was ready in less than 10! The staff was friendly upon arrival and the bowls were delicious! The poke bowls were bigger than I imagined and the sauce on them was just the right amount! The Nutella bowl was filled to the brim with a TON of fruit! Totally worth the price and the decor inside was beachy themed and laid back! Really cool spot to grab a healthy meal. Parking is a a little tricky, but other than that awesome place! read more

DO NOT get the poke bowls. Holy shit, what a disappointment for $14! I'm addicted to poke bowls, and I felt traumatized after being given this travesty. Four chunks of tuna are thrown in and half an avocado, which is a great portion. But Jesus Christ, can you at least construct the damn thing so I don't have to chop everything up. Why are you charging so much if you don't even cut the items up to an actual bite size. Small enough that you can have some tuna with every bite. Not so large that any bite you take consists of just one ingredient. I absolutely love the playa bowls y'all serve up. But pleaseeeee go back to the drawing board with the poke bowls and work on it. read more

Such a cute space!! You can make your own bowl, smoothie or go with something off the menu. My friend and I both got the Electric Mermaid Pitaya bowls. It was fresh, healthy, tasted good, and the honey put it over the top. The Almond Joy chia pudding bowl sounds delicious for a sweet tooth craving. It's a relaxing environment. You can just hang out and chill, definitely caters towards a college crowd. There's a ping pong table and some games like tic tac toe and connect 4. There's long community tables with lots of stool seating. Just be careful because the tables are on wheels and move easily. I was familiar with Acai bowls but didn't know what Pitaya (dragon fruit) was. I ended up googling it but saw later there's actually a chalkboard under the counter that describes different products. It's Bethlehem so it's street parking. It somewhat on the pricier side and the staff could be friendlier but I'd definitely go back. read more

Mermaid Fuel. So friggin good and I don't care who knows it! Love the atmosphere too. Me and the kiddos played some ping pong then they chilled in the old VW van out front for like an hour while I had myself yet another bowl. Only issue is that I eat about $50 worth of food every time I come here cause it's "good for me." read more

Well well well... look what the cool kitty cat dragged in. Yes. It's me and I'm back - Stanley R. here for some quality reviews (but of course only to restaurants deserving of a CERTIFIED double WHAMMY). So on account of the world bein shut down due to this coronavirus thing (love the beer, NOT the VIRUS haha). I have been ordering a lot of delivery becasuse I AM pre-diabetic and cannot risk it haha. So I hopped right into grubb the hub and noticed playa bowls instantly, just like in the movies. What a magnifico selection of delicious fruit bowls. It took me a half hour (more like 45 min if I'm being honest with myself which my therapist said I should be) to decide which bowl I wanted 2 order. I got the stupid cupid bowl, partly because it sounded delicious but also because I have been divorced for years now and I am looking to find a new little cutie pie so hoping for the cupid shuffle lol! It was just perfecto. Strawberry galore. What a freakin treat honestly. Alright well my mom needs to use the computer. Stanley out! Love yall! read more

Bowl was sickeningly sweet. All fruit was coated in sugar water. Açaí base is made with sugar and stevia extract. I am allergic to stevia and throat started to swell up. I had to ask the staff and I had no idea this was being used. Disgusting and quality fell way off. Never going back. Staff was friendly and honest. Not their fault. read more

When your $10 açaí bowl is maybe 1/9th açaí. Womp, womp. Cheapskates. Also, the strawberries have been soggy and stale tasting af lately. I do appreciate the half punnet of blueberries though (1 star). read more

I love Playa Bowls. In fact, I love it so much I drive 40 minutes one way to get one. The last few experiences, however, have not been that pleasant. They have messed up my order twice and gave me an incomplete order. Today I ordered a Nica bowl and a Coco Power bowl and they gave me the wrong toppings on each. Plus, I got charged for toppings I did not receive. The last time I ordered a Coco Power bowl, there was barely any granola and they neglected to add coconut flakes and almond butter. Not to mention the rude service at the front. For $11 each, this is unacceptable. read more

Best smoothie place in town, but that doesn't mean it isn't pricey! Sometimes I wish too that there were more filling/protein-y smoothie options but their green smoothie really can't be beat in terms of taste and how it makes you feel! I did try the dang smoothie once and found the wheatgrass overpowering. I am looking forward to tasting a bowl one day but the options are so wide-ranging that I can't seem to pick one and always going back to that green smoothie standard! read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon. It was pretty empty with a bunch of young kids working, standing behind the counter. I noticed all the tables (long bench tables) were dirty and need to be cleaned. If I were the owner I would be annoyed. If the tables and floor were clean, I would have given this five stars. Fun atmosphere with a great healthy menu. read more

Is all about opening up your mind to explore differences. I was a newbie at Playa Bowls and the customer service was friendly and very helpful.

Friendly staff. They make a great base for the bowls with a very good sherbet like consistency. Definitely a place to check out. My only criticism is that I wish they were more careful when adding honey as it always gets on the side of the bowl and therefor my hands. Some may say $9 for a bowl is overpriced but you get what you pay for. Cheaper food options are made from cheaper food. There's only one place I've had a better açaí bowl but they use all organic, local foods and charge $14. read more
