    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!

    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.

    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.

    Ordered Nutelloco and oh boy!!!!!!! It's fresh, perfect sweetness and the Granola crunch is out of this world! I highly recommend!

    I love playa bowls! I always get the Nutella Bowl and add blueberries. The fruit is always fresh and the workers are nice. I dined in and enjoyed the music as well. Today I received $3 off my order because I earn reviews through the app.

    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.

    Yummy yummy In my Tummy, everything I needed before my flight. I always stop by here when I have time. On this particular occasion I tried the Chia Seed bowl, thanks ladies the playlist was popping!

    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.

    this is supposed to have strawberries and berries included...

    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.

    I am a huge fan of this franchise! It's crazy how each location is different but they serve the…read moresame product. I have gone to almost every playa in north and central Jersey. By far the best locations are in Edison and East Brunswick. I love that this Playa is located on my alma mater but their bowls have definitely got smaller and smaller over the years. I barely was able to get any açaí in my bowl this time. Nevertheless, I am loyal to Rutgers so I will still support this establishment when I am in the area.

    Im sorry but i have to be honest I got a nutella bowl…read more It was very messy and the fruits werent for human consumption . The bananas were way overipe.They go down as if they were mashed potatoes while the strawberries were not.They were very tart and some were pink not red.(meaning not ready to eat) They barely put any nutella in it. They were very cheap about it. Idk if this location is struggling or business aint booming but shorting customers could be a downfall. The icing on the cake is the staff working there. They hire young staff (maybe college students or just teens ) Big problem theyre lazy as hell. They dont want to work they just want to talk and be on their phones I ordered online and when i go pick up my food that was supposed to be ready 20 mins prior I get there and everyone is talking and standing around but no one got my order ready.I had to wait an additional 15 mins THIS IS FOR THE OWNER PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET IT TOGETHER OR CLOSE THAT BUSINESS AND LET THEM PUT SOMETHING ELSE THERE. GET A NEW STAFF TOO YOU HAVE KIDS GETTING FREE MONEY CAUSE THEYRE NOT WORKING
