I love this Playa Bowls! This is one of my two favorite locations and I am here almost every week. The people working here are helpful, welcoming, and friendly. Everything I have ever ordered here has been beautifully presented and made with fresh high-quality fruit. The vibe at this location is relaxed and chill. It's also a bigger and brighter space than many other Playa Bowls. There's always lots of parking available and it's easy to get here from the Middlesex Community College Campus. read more

I come here all the time. Mostly before college class and get an iced coffee. The chickory they use is so tasty. This the first place I have ever had chickory coffee. The pumpkin one in the fall id my favorite and I am not a pumpkin fan at all!! The workers are always kind and friendly. There is a decent amount of seating, its bright, colorful, and fun. The only sad part is the seats are hard; theyre not cushioned, just hard benches or stools. I got the golden mango bowl i believe and changed a few things on it. But my favorite bowl is the Nica Bowl and i loveeee the Mermaid fuel juice. read more

Playa Bowls - Golden Mango Bowl I Believe. - Acai Bowls Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Staff is always friendly in this location with quick service. I usually order on the app, and pickup within 5-10 minutes and very rarely have to wait. Everything is always fresh, tasty and I totally recommend stopping in if you are in the area. There's seats inside too if you want to enjoy in a quiet place. read more

Playa Bowls - Goji Pitaya Bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I thought it was alright. The first few bites are great, but after a while the flavors all start to taste the same. It's super sweet too, almost like eating dessert instead of something fresh or light. The fruit looks nice and the presentation is on point, but it just doesn't really stand out once you've had a few bites. Not bad, just kind of repetitive and not for me or maybe I just need to try something else on the menu. read more

I think I have had enough of this establishment. I went today. I ordered the coco berry bowl. They tell me the coconut is completely frozen therefore they can't make it. While I'm trying to decide on another item. He then advised it's up to her another employee if she can make it. Then she says I would have to chip at it, so why suggest. I then said just substitute it for the pitaya. I get home the pitaya was so tart no honey added like how do you mess up at fruit bowl. I actually would have taken it back if I was closer. Also the reward machine was down. Now it's around 3pm no signs anywhere to say machine down and no coconut bowls. I guess I will have to find other options. read more

I've been a loyal customer of Playa Bowls for some time and have always had great experiences--until this last Tuesday. I arrived around 9:15 p.m., well before closing, and unfortunately waited nearly 30 minutes before my order was even taken. There were two employees present: a young man who was actively preparing orders and a young woman who was focused on cleaning, despite a line of about 7-8 customers waiting to be served. What concerned me most, however, was a hygiene issue. I observed the young woman handle trash while wearing gloves, and then proceed to touch food items and toppings containers without changing those gloves. I respectfully asked the young man to remake our drinks due to the potential for cross-contamination, which he kindly did. I'd rather take the drive to the South Brunswick location which is 25 min away vs Edison that is 5 min away. read more

This is my first time eating at Playa. I had the Nica bowl, which tasted better than I imagined it would. Fast service (I imagine it's more crowded in the summer), fresh ingredients and lots and lots of options for bowls and toppings. Good stuff! read more

I've only had their bowls and smoothies, they are always delicious and have a pretty presentation. It's also very filling! My one gripe is, when I order ahead online, my bowl is never ready at the estimated time. Granted, it's usually in the morning when there is only one or two people there, I just think the app needs to extend the time a bit to give them a chance to make the bowl. I'd rather have it ready before I get there (they have a fridge to store them in) than have to wait past the estimated time. Usually I'm running to work and this has made me late a few times. read more

Food was delicious and delivery service was great. Would definitely recommend this place as it's nice and clean.

Welp, drove half an hour to this location, because the one by the hospital is the terrible. Was my daughter's first trip somewhere after a major surgery. Go in and they say they aren't taking any orders for half an hour. My husband just went in to order as they advertised and they said they can't stop the online orders. They literally said no need to order online, just come in in half hour. Oh, and they're out of bananas. Both our smoothies we wanted to order have bananas. Absolutely pointless. Finding this place that we thought was so great, the absolute worst. read more

One of my friends mentioned this place to me and told me to try it. The staff: They seem very friendly and pleasant to deal with. The order on the app for pick up is super fast and is always ready when I come to pick up my playa bowls. Electric Mermaid: This is by far my favorite and is my go to at all times. It has the right taste and is very delicious. Dragonberry: I was a bit hesitant in getting this but it was not so bad after all. This was yummy as well. Overall: I think I might order other menu items from here in the future. Also, the app helps you get free rewards. read more

Wanna have sweets without worrying about weight gain? Come to Playa Bowls for some low calories and nutritious, delicious sweets. Located on a strip area nearby Middlesex County Community College is a cool vibe and hip shop with free WiFi, multiple seatings and benches. There are plenty of parking. Their menu is awesome. My family and I came here with purpose to order playa bowls but they do have smoothies and other items on the menu. I had a pitaya bowl of Nutaya and it was delicious. The portion was also a good size for two to share. The amount of fruits, granola and nutella was perfect combo with the cold pitaya bowl. The service is quick and staff are friendly. You can sign up for their free members reward. I assume considering it's near a college campus, this place may be packed when school is full session. I arrived here over the weekend so it's less foot traffic and definitely ample seatings indoor. read more

The bowls are really good the inside its cute and urban. However the service needs help, girl who took my order was completely snotty and gave attitude when trying to ask for bowls, great bowls but wouldn't go back because of service. Didn't smile once and with snotty attitude asked for a tip. Really disrespectful. read more

Nasty person behind the counter . Have a service dog and the screamed at me they can't come in .

The set up and scenery is pretty neat, feels like you're on an island almost. The menu is pretty extensive which is great since they have many options. I think they also have vegan friendly options. However the customer service totally needs to be stepped up. The two ladies I encountered were schmucks to be frank. I was merely trying to order a bowl for my son and it was like pulling teeth, they even forgot to ask me what BASE I wanted for my bowl; which is a must in the açaí bowls world last time I checked. I get it's Monday morning but no excuse for the customers to receive subpar service. read more

I love Playa Bowls. I have reviewed other locations before but wanted to make sure I review this one as I come here the most. The food is always consistent from location to location. They are really great at accommodating any sort of dietary restriction or allergy. I almost always modify my order in some way, (adding/taking away ingredients), and that are always happy to do so. I often get the Pure Vida bowl which comes with an Açaí base. My friend from work gets a lot of bowls with the coconut vase and she is obsessed with them. Sometimes we will get bowls with multiple bases. (The coco craze bowl with half açaí is amazing btw!) I will say, if you are physically going there on your break from work, I would recommend ordering ahead of time online because the wait time can be a bit long during the lunch rush. I love this place and cannot wait for my next trip. read more

Playa Bowls - Pure Vida Bowl (mango added) - Acai Bowls Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Not sure if they have changed owners but the service has gone down substantially. In the morning, there is only one person working both the register and in store and online pickups. I order there at least 4 times a week. This morning I ordered an Pura vida bowl for pick up. After having to wait 5 minutes in the store just to pick up my order, I get home to find out that there are no fruits in the bowl. Fine, I figured I will just call and they will correct it. Nope, no one answers the phone. I called for almost 10 minutes and no response. Luckily, I paid by CC and my bank will reimburse the cost to me. Used to be a great place... hopefully they can change but they lost a customer today. read more

Playa Bowls - this is supposed to have strawberries and berries included... - Acai Bowls Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I ordered a tropical bowl with strawberries added, and Nutella I get home and it's no tropical bowl. There's blueberries in my bowl which I'm allergic to. I tried calling the store online hours say 9 PM on the door at the location says 10 PM and no one's answering the phone. $12 down the drain. Hours online need to be updated read more

Finally made my way to this location and I am super impressed. First and foremost the service here is the best I have ever received at any type of smoothie bowl place. I really wanted to try their coconut base and without hesitation I was give a big spoonful to see if I liked it. Then when I loved the base I asked if I could do half and half açaí and coconut which they were happy to do. Everything came out perfect, fresh, and ripe. Prices are standard across the board but nothing was browning and the fruit was top notch. Will definitely be coming here again for a healthier and sweeter option try the pura vida with a 50/50 base of açaí and coconut. It's the perfect spring/summer bowl that makes you feel like you're on vacation read more

Playa Bowls - Acai Bowls Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

So happy that Playa Bowls has finally arrived to Edison! I've had this one on my calendar for a looong time. Location is minutes away from my office which makes it perfect for lunch. It's located in a shopping center with subway and a nail salon. It's a bit difficult to find the entrance to the center, so just make sure you don't pass it up. The entrance is right past the Wawa. Inside is beautiful, just like every Playa Bowls location is. There is meticulous details put into this location - you can tell by the seating, pictures, artwork.. it's really just something. Even while I ate my bowl, I found myself looking around admiring all the details. Service is excellent. I came on the day of the grand opening and was greeted by someone whom I believe was the manager. Very helpful and nice! If you've never been to a Playa Bowls before, I suggest starting out by asking for a sample at the register. They will let you try any of their "bases." My personal favorite is the Acai, which at this particular shop was very good. I'm excited to come back here! read more

Playa Bowls - Mushy mess!! Missing ingredients for $21 for 2 bowls. - Acai Bowls Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I purchased a açaí Nutella bowl and it was very watery (soup like). There was hard stuff in it that I think was some kind of berry or granola. This is the worst playa bowl I have ever had (and I get the same açaí Nutella bowl). I will not be going back to this location. read more

The food is amazing and it's actually fast and healthy. I usually stick to my chia bottom but always so many things to choose from!! The coffee is amazing too. All employees I've met are very nice. Great for eat in or out. One star gone just bc my order has been wrong a few times. But hasn't stopped me! read more

First time ever visit with a friend that has gone to other locations. Having never been to a Playa bowl myself, there were many options to choose. What we got: 2 bowls 2 juices Both bowls were prepared incorrectly. The "mgr?" Not sure id it was a mgr. Did offer to remake my bowl (i ask for topping on side fearing it would be too sweet on the bowl). I didnt want to waste food and declined the redo. I scaped the topping sauce off which made a messy bowl...but the fruit was good. My friend opened his bowl once we were in the car and bananas were missing. Order was strawberry and banana - no banana. On the positive side. The fruits were fresh. I will try again. Maybe the person making was new read more

I being in this place couple of times before and the service was good but today I do really want to say this. I specific told them to please cut the fruits really small because I had a surgery ( got my tonsils removed) and I also told her to please add extra nutella and this is how I got it.. she clearly did not do anything I ask for it :((( now I am not able to eat the fruits. And also I had much Nutella before without asking for EXTRA NUTELLA. I am so upset. The only thing I could eat for lunch was this and look where is the Nutella???? read more

Love the wide-open space in this new playa bowls location, especially the ski cabin feel! Bowls are well made, with toppings to the brim, definitely not skimping to save money.

Playa Bowls - Electric mermaid yummm - Acai Bowls Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I've been a fan of different Playa Bowl locations for a while, but this one dropped the ball in a couple of ways. First, I placed my order for a make your own bowl. The only difference between what comes with the standard make your own bowl price and the order I placed was that I asked for 3 toppings instead of the standard 2. I also asked for protein powder which the standard doesn't come with. There were two people who came in and ordered after I did and received their orders before I received mine. When I finally went up and asked mine was just sitting on the side. On top of that, they made the completely wrong bowl. Since they took so long in making the bowl I was running late so when they finally gave it to me I rushed out of the store. I get it, I should've checked to make sure it was my bowl, but maybe the store shouldn't have messed it up so badly? Idk. Instead of the 3 toppings I paid for I got 1 topping and I also didn't get the Nutella drizzle I asked for. Overall, I'd go to other Playa Bowls but this one wasn't great at all. Felt like a waste of money unfortunately. read more

sage yourself the time and do not order from this location. I barely order playa bowls and when I do, this location is the closest to me and every time I have ordered they mess up the order completely. I have always given them the benefit of the doubt but this was my last time. it's as if the employees don't read what I do or do not want on my bowl. read more

Portion is great and the presentation is very nice i have visit this place like 6 times The only thing the coconut mix don't have to much flavor read more

Playa bowls is great but this location is terrible due to horrible customer service. They dont know how to take your order and when they mess up they go on to blame you. They lack basic professionalism and customer service skills. The shift manager and the employees all roll their eyes at every customer who enters. The hygiene is also questionable. The person making my order was so disorganized that her elbow touched my open bowl. Disgusting, undertrained and unprofessional read more

I have been a fan of playa bowls and visited other locations. I'm so happy they opened a location in Edison. I really enjoy their coconut base. I usually pick from the coconut bowls. I have switched it up added a second base to my bowls, the banana is a great choice. Their juices are great as well fresh and great blends. I love the beach break juice and mermaid fuel juice.
