Brianna G.

Steamy days in Charleston are a lot cooler with a smoothie bowl, and Playa Bowls was everything we needed! I ordered the Nutaya, I had asked for half Pitaya and half Acai, but was given all Pitaya. However, the fruity Pitaya base was so good I didn't even find myself missing the Acai. This location also offered gluten free granola! Also pictured is one of their power bowls! So happy that Playa Bowls just opened a location in Pittsburgh so I can go back soon!

Playa Bowls - mango and açaí based

Our weekly go-to for a little slice of heaven in a bowl. These bowls are something. The toppings are always fresh. I haven't picked out a favorite yet because I am still trying to sample every bowl they have on the menu.

blueberries and strawberries in a bowl

Love love love this place. So delicious. Love the huge array of base and topping options. Plus it's super dog friendly. Really one of my favorite bowls places. Coconut bowls are my favorite !

Victoria G.

Delicious every time I go. Some days they can be pretty busy but always worth the wait and fast. It's a whole meal on its own and there are a lot of options. My favorites are always the coconut and banana base.

You're better off having a bowl of sugar than a bowl at Playa. I got the 8th Ave with added strawberries and blueberries. The bowl was a solid size for 12 bucks, but it's borderline inedible. The acai blend is extremely sugary, and the berries are absolutely doused in honey. Holy hell, this is not good. Maybe for the college students but not for anyone else. Way too sweet.

Tropical Acai Bowl
Grace O.

It's good, quick. Have a lot of options but it's definitely really sweet and a little expensive.

Acai, green & pitaya bowls perfect and refreshing for the hot & humid summers in Charleston. I wish they had a place like this near me! The place has a variety of options from bowls, juices and smoothies! Nice atmosphere & decor. Seating is limited and is first come first sit basis. If you are indecisive on the bowls, you can mix 2 bowls and add/ remove toppings. I opted for a mixed bowl with pitaya (dragon fruit) and green. I honestly couldn't taste the difference with the pitaya vs. green but overall the bowl was good with the perfect amount of sweet, cold, fruity deliciousness. I'll be stopping by again if I happen to be in town!

Killer bowls with generous portions and fresh ingredients. Great atmosphere for a quick break from the hustle and bustle of King St. Also love that you mix the base of bowls - ordered the Nutelloco bowl with half acai and it was so refreshing!

I decided to stop by Playa Bowls while on an adventure walk. The aesthetics were bright and draw you in. The menu was extensive offering a variety of acai bowls, poke bowls, smoothies, juices, and coffee items. I loved the variety and ordered the Pura Vida Acai Bowl. It came with strawberries, blueberries, and granola. I added mango. The bowl tasted amazing! The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the acai was nearly frozen, but it was great after waiting approximately 5 minutes. I definitely will

Smoothie bowl
Allison R.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Service was great she was very nice. Atmosphere was awesome felt like I was in Hawaii and it was so tropical, And the food is indescribable. Absolutely awesome and will be going back.

Cold brew with cashew milk.
Stefany B.

The feel. The vibe. The decor. The music. The friendly girls at the counter. Yes - it's Pineapple Land!! As you might know from some of my other reviews, we are always on the lookout for Boba tea. Headed towards the store next-door we were pulled into this shop by The bowl photos in the window! We were not disappointed. I only wish the lady walking by right now and the pineapple and fruit dress and pineapple earrings would come into this store because she's so totally appropriately dressed. Dang. Wish I got a photo!!!!!!! Anyhow- the Tropical açaí bowl was perfect. The granola was the perfect consistency and the pineapple, banana, coconut layered quite lovely over the açaí purée. WIN WIN. My coconut cold brew coffee was perfect pick me up. AND I scored King St parking right out front. Now THATS a win.

Tropical Acai Bowl-- perfect paired flavors!!
Christina M.

The perfect place to grab an Acai or pitaya bowl! I love that this place gives a bountiful amount of both smoothie and fresh fruit/toppings! I have had a few bowls from here-- coconut base, pitaya, and acai. The coconut was very good but a little too sweet for my liking. The electric mermaid pitaya and tropical Acai were both amazing! The only thing I would change about the electric mermaid would be banana instead of mango.

pitaya/acai bowl
Lemon C.

The store hours change throughout the year but they don't update it online. I made my schedule around their opening time only to discover their hours were different. When I mentioned this to the employee she said she was aware that their online hours didn't match their actual hours. I got there at 9am and was surprised they were already open when in fact they opened at 8am. They were completely empty, probably because no one else knew they could order then. My bowl was fresh and delicious! I preferred the pitaya over the acai. Could have done without the honey drizzle over my strawberries. The bathroom was clean and spacious. The staff was friendly.

See all

Ok... not the best. Had the same smoothie 2 days in a row and both were very watery. Would've liked then a bit thicker

The granola was the perfect consistency and the pineapple, banana, coconut layered quite lovely over the açaí purée.
