We were in desperate need of a smoothie to survive this Denver heat. Playa Bowls showed up in my search, although their Yelp profile was limited in terms of current menu pictures and what not. I was definitely surprised with the large space that had been meticulously decorated to match their theme. We are so glad we came though as they have a pretty extensive menu of bowls and smoothies. We were particularly fascinated with their Yuzu Summer series. * Yuzu Glow Smoothie 20oz - Playa Yuzu base, Playa Mango base, pineapple, collagen peptides, coconut milk, and coco whip * Pink Summer Smoothie 20oz - Playa Yuzu base, Playa Pitaya base, pineapple, collagen peptides, coconut milk, and coco whip * Aloha Smoothie 20oz $9.49 I really enjoyed my Pink Summer Smoothie and that was my favorite of the three. I would honestly order this drink all the time if I saw it. I love the contrast of yuzu and dragon fruit. With such a large space, I would expect more people to hang out as it was a Saturday afternoon. But it was really quiet and all the workers were busy doing their jobs and washing windows! (Gotta love workers actually doing work and not just on their phones during down times.) I really love their refill water station too! We need more of these everywhere! read more

I genuinely don't understand what's going on at Playa Bowls. The bowls? Great. Service? Totally fine. The space? Adorable--full beach bungalow fantasy. You walk in expecting a little reggae, maybe some surf rock, something that says "you're on vacation." Instead... absolute dead silence. Like a library where everyone accidentally ordered açaí. Why am I whispering to my girlfriend at noon over fruit? Why does it feel like I'm about to get shushed by a librarian? After 22 years in hospitality, I can tell you: turning the music off is the universal signal for "please leave." Even blackout drunk people clock it immediately. So what is the strategy here? Is this some advanced "turn and burn" technique where we emotionally nudge people out with awkward silence? Because congrats, it works. I've never wanted to finish a perfectly good bowl faster in my life. The wild part is you clearly care about every other detail. You built the whole vibe... and then forgot the one thing that makes humans act normal in a room. I'm not asking for a DJ set. Just anything. A ukulele. A Spotify playlist. A dude humming in the back. Give me something so I don't feel like I'm eating in a meditation chamber where talking is discouraged. Great spot. Seriously. Just... please, for the love of god, press play. read more

Playa bowls has the best bowls!! I love this location because there is a cute courtyard to sit in when it's nice outside. The inside is nice and spacious, as well. Street parking isn't too bad (even for a Saturday morning). I love the mango based bowls the most! I also like the smoothies and the juices. I haven't had a bad thing on the menu. The service is always quick and the employees are super friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Wish we had some of these in Omaha! I love a açaí bowl, but after trying a coconut bowl I might have a new favorite. I got the Nutelloco coconut bowl and it was delicious. It had Nutella of course, granola, strawberries, bananas, and some chocolate and coconut to top it off. It's a little on the pricier side BUT it did last me two days so it's more reasonable when you take that into account. The staff was so sweet, my friend had her dog with us and they offered him a pup cup! Great little neighborhood and ambiance, we sat on the patio and it was beautiful out, they even had their doors open to let the air inside. read more

A good, average experience on a recent takeout order. I wasn't wowed, in fact the açaí base wasn't my favorite and most of the blueberries were mushy. But it was really nice to have something light and refreshing, even if it was on a cold, winter day. Next time I'll try another base with other fruit! read more

Cute spot! Perfect for grabbing a post workout smoothie, bowl or juice. Spacious inside, lots of seating, would be a good post sloans lake walk hangout area, especially with a larger group. I've had the classic acai bowl from here which is good, this time we tried the more banana/peanut butter/chocolate flavors which were also nice (costa bowl and booster smoothie). The reason I gave 4 stars instead of price is purely for cost, so come knowing it won't be cheap. I think between the bowl and small size smoothie came out around $30. read more

Raquel was amazing! She was attentive, kind, and funny. Made our morning all the better, I love this location.

I was craving something fresh and good for a summer breakfast and thought of a fruit bowl I recently had when visiting Costa Rica. Did a quick search and found these guys close to my house. It was super easy to place an order online, and it was ready even before the suggested pick up time. The passionfruit bowl was phenomenal and I will definitely get it again. The place is a super cute vibe and I highly recommend it! read more

Possibly my favorite place to get açaí bowls and smoothies! Their quality is always so superb and never watered down while tasting super fresh and tasty!! The service is always so welcoming and friendly too. Great place!! read more

It was my first time to the store, and I will definitely be back! They have a very large menu and different ways to build your own bowls with plenty of fresh toppings. I got one with a coconut base, bananas, strawberries, and Nutella. It was delicious and freezes very nicely. The inside was really clean and trendy. Plus it's in a nice location right next to a beer garden. read more

Love coming here , staff is always so friendly but huge s/o to the girls there today, They are killing it!! Thank you

Food: I am slightly obsessed with this place. I order it on DoorDash so much, I am actually shocked I haven't reviewed them yet on Yelp. I have found a rhythm where I usually get the Power Açaí bowl (açaí, chocolate protein, topped with granola, banana, and peanut butter) because omg it's too die for, but I like trying new ones. So if I'm feeling adventurous, I get two bowls (they have so many to choose from!) -- always have the backup of the power açaí haha -- plus a new one. Sounds silly but they are as good leftover so it's never a waste. I put them in the freezer if I don't finish then put on the counter for 30 minutes before wanting to eat it again. I've actually never been in the restaurant so I am not sure about the ambiance or service but when I've done add-ons on DoorDash, it's always been right! read more

Wow this location seems right out of a movie it's so cute. The staff was very friendly. The bowl was absolutely delish. I love a good smoothie bowl. I will be back again soon to try more things! read more

So excited to have a Playa Bowls in Edgewater! The Opening Day event was awesome, equipped with free smoothie bowls, trendy shirts, stickers, and great tunes! The staff was oozing with friendliness and calmness despite the long line wrapped around the block. After a week of winter weather, Playa Bowls is exactly what I needed for a taste of summer and beach vibes. The interior instantly transported me to the Jersey shore (surfboard tables, beach-y color scheme, etc.), in the best way. Lots of options for different bases (or even the option to combine bases!) and for different toppings depending on what you're in the mood for. I got the Nutella Bowl (açaí base topped with strawberry, banana, granola, coconut, and Nutella), and added almond butter. The portion size was great! Welcome to the neighborhood, Playa Bowls Edgewater! read more

The açaí bowl was delicious. It felt a little pricey but what isn't these days - know what I'm sayin? Ambiance was surf/beach theme so good vibe. Service was friendly but slow. I wouldn't recommend if you are in a hurry. If you have the time and money, I'd def recommend. read more

Rude worker girl chose to insult my daughter when she tried to express that their strawberries and kiwi were sour and tasted awful. She wouldn't issue a refund and used unkind words to make it worse. Your one job is to serve açaí bowls with FRESH fruit. DON'T GO HERE! Boo! read more

The people who work here are great and do the best they can with the staffing they are provided. The smoothies and açaí bowls are great. It's unfair to these workers that they are pretty much always slammed and overworked, and I suspect that's why turnover is endless and there's been a "hiring" sign up for years. Whatever Playa is paying these people, it's not enough!!! read more

I popped by playa bowl bc I've gotten a million coupons from them. I'm a sucker. I'll go anywhere if there's a deal. I've also heard wonderful feedback about playa bowls so I couldn't resist. The service can be spotty. Their new. Be patient. The smoothies are good. Fresh and flavorful. Bowls are good. I'd definitely be back for those. Don't be nervous to take your bowls Togo! I've done it twice and they made it home safe and sound. I'd actually go for their fresh squeezed juice. Those are delicious and worth the price. I'd skip the bottled cold pressured juice. It was okay. Nothing special. read more

This place is so good! The interior design is cute, everything was clean, and there's a lot of seating to choose from. The staff was super friendly and served my açaí bowl quickly. There are so many options to choose from on their menu. If you don't want to choose from the recommended options then you can build your own bowl. My bowl was huge and I felt that I got what was expected for the price I paid. The ingredients tasted quality and I left feeling satisfied. This location was really quiet on a Saturday afternoon - I hope more people start to visit in the summer! read more

Love this place! A friend turned me onto Playa Bowls while on bed rest recovering from a leg surgery. I couldn't stop thinking about how delicious it was and finally made it over on my own two feet. I purchased take out but the place appeared clean and bright. Took a bowl to a coworker and he is also in love with Playa Bowls now! Staff were super kind and nice to chat with. 100% will be back! read more

Omggggg my husband and I are literally obsessed, we can't stop ordering these! I got the coco berry bowl on Friday and swapped the granola for GF granola and removed the honey (as it's already sweet enough for me ). My husband ordered one tonight with Nutella, banana, cacao nibs, coconut shreds, berries, bee pollen and GF granola. SO GOOD. Honestly these are consistent every single time and the PERFECT portions of everything IMO. Not too big of a portion where you feel really full and not too much "base-to-topping" ratio! Lastly, we get them delivered and the staff is SO fast. Gonna keep posting every time we get one because they're just a perfect treat read more

Playa is by far my favorite place to go when it comes to an Açaí bowl. I've been getting them for years and used to travel all the way to Littleton for them. They have since opened a location downtown and in Edgewater which is way closer to me. I always get the pura vida bowl with is acai base with granola, honey strawberries and blueberries. They are always made to order and extremely fresh. read more

By far the best açaí bowls I've found in Denver. Try the chai/coconut based (together) with whatever fruit you want on top. AMAZING!

Playa Bowls is one of the better Acai Bowl chains in the area. They have good bowls and I like that they're open later than most other places. read more

These bowls taste like rays of sunshine, toes in the sand, and toucans chirping in the background. We stopped in on a hot May day for a smoothie bowl. There are so many options, something for everyone. There are a few options of bases including a traditional açaí, pitaya or dragon fruit, or a green base with kale and fruit, and others. We had the pitaya. YUM! You can customize the bowl, order a combination of bases, customize the fruit, and add nut butters. Added bonus, this place is also right next to a beer garden. Need I say more? See you there on the next summery day. read more

Stellar service, great bowls! Kylie who was helping me out when I was there was so kind and helped me decide on which bowl she thought was best. read more

Delicious açaí bowls that were fresh and tasty. Will definitely return if in the area.

They shut their machines down a full HOUR before their posted closing time. And were very rude to my wife when we asked if their manager knew they were closing down early & refusing to serve customers. I'll be calling their management team tomorrow to confirm that they do know this is happening. read more

We've visited this location multiple times after going to the Fort Meyers location when we visit our daughter in college. We we're excited to see there are a few CO locations and we've visited them both, driving 40 minutes each way. Parking at this location is so much easier than the Broadway location and the vibe and restaurants surrounding the area are more oriented towards young adults and families. We've had everything on the menu and keep going back to the mango, pitaya, açaí and coconut bowls! read more

Great location and large selection of smoothies and bowls. They taste great and have friendly service. A+

Pros: really cute space. Friendly staff. Best açaí bowls in Denver. Ordering with the app is easy and convenient. Con: the whole neighborhood has figured out how good this place is. A couple of times I've ordered on the app and the food hasn't been ready when ordered. There are worse problems to have than waiting 20 mins for bowls but it can be frustrating. Maybe find a way to not allow online ordered when you're really busy? See you soon regardless and keep up the good work read more

So good! We tried Playa Bowls on a whim tonight and were very pleasantly surprised. This isn't normally the kind of food we eat (trendy healthy food), so my expectations weren't very high. The bowls are seriously delicious. They're light (but filling) and made with fresh fruit and high quality ingredients. This is definitely going to be our go-to spot this summer! read more
