Playa Menu
Yasmin R.

It's my second visit and I'm giving them a 3.5/5; great menu of bowls and smoothie options; the juice bar is unavailable (which loses a star because it's on the board but no real definitive answer when it will be available). I like how the service attendants have always been friendly, patient and easy to communicate with (a star right there). In response to some of the other reviews on cleanliness, I can't say I agree with those statements entirely, the service workers wear gloves and the floors are relatively clear of debris. It's the patrons are slobs by leaving or throwing their straw wrappers on the floor. Or not picking up napkins that fall or fly from wind. I've added video from my most recent visit.

Got this delivered via UberEats & it was delicious! Pineapple base with bananas, strawberries, blueberry granola & Nutella! Can you say YUM!!! The flavors are on point. Aesthetically pleasing as we know we all eat with our eyes!

Generally, this place is average and I'll explain why below. Ambiance: (5/5) I like the theme and music they have playing. They have plenty of seating. Price: (3/5) Not too bad, but portions are small. Food: (3/5) The base consistency was too thin. It was like they actually took a smoothie and put it into the bowl. It should have been thicker. The bowl was also kinda small to be able to mix all the fruit together. Fruit didn't seem fresh. Service: (5/5) Food came out quickly and the staff was nice. In conclusion, I wouldn't come back here

Zoom in to look at floor

Floor is filthy in the work space. Staff doesn't know how to keep the workspace clean. Using one use food handling gloves to open boxes then back to working with ready to eat food. No supply of bowls upstairs to make guests orders. Took 3 people to get 1 box of bowls from the basement

The store's aesthetic is what truly creates an inviting ambiance. I find the service fast and efficient, food always comes quickly and looks fresh. In terms of taste- I don't recommend the smoothies, most with a banana base have overwhelming tastes of underripe banana. The acai bowls themselves are fresh and tasty, I recommend.

I have no major complaints about this location. The staff is energetic and friendly, but it is busy! It's best to order ahead because you'll be waiting 15-20 minutes. Some of the fruits are not ripe yet, such as my mango from today's bowl. Other than that, it's clean, spacious and tastes great! Metered parking only.

I got the acai bowl nutella #11 but had the base half acai and half pitaya. It was really refreshing. Would have been healthier without the nutella but way tastier with it. Good service too!

Bowls are good. But three stars because EVERY SINGLE time I come in the juicer is broken. Which makes me think they either do not feel like juicing or these juicers break often. Regardless of the reason only in Englewood it is constantly "broken".

Açaí bowl, had to ask for extra granola.

Wait 20 minutes for a smoothie that was awful. It wasn't even crowded in there. Probably 3 people including me.

I typically don't crave smoothies or juices, but with this heat wave... I was in need of something…read morerefreshing and fruity, but healthy. I stopped by this local juice bar tucked away in a corner of Englewood's bustling Palisades Ave. It's a small, but cute spot. Very clean and bright with lots of natural lighting. There's a few stools/bar seating facing the windows, but this is more of a grab-and-go place. The menu is straightforward. Of course you can expect prices to be higher $$ for organic ingredients. They sell smoothies, meal replacement shakes, cold-pressed juices, and wellness shots. There's a large variety of fruits, vegetables, and superfood add-ons. In addition to drinks, they also have a limited food/snack menu - smoothie bowls, salad, soup, protein bites, overnight oats, impossible burger, etc. They even sell sea moss! Everything is fresh. There's plenty of vegan options. Service was standard and quick. I wish the employee was more interactive and enthusiastic. I told her it was my first visit, and she didn't really give me too many recommendations or explain the menu/products very well. I ordered a small McKay Madness smoothie (~$9) and berry chia seed pudding (~$5). The smoothie had mango, pineapple, banana, kiwi, and coconut water. The consistency was smooth and not too thick. It was refreshing and not sweet. Not the best smoothie I've had, but it did the job. The chia seed pudding was a satisfying snack, but I wish it had more flavor and sweetness to it. The texture was perfect, but it just tasted bland. I added a bit of honey on my own to enhance the flavor. I would come back to try more smoothies and juices if I'm craving one.

They make a great smoothie or shake at this place. The place is small but has some counter space…read morefor you to sit and eat and or enjoy your drinks.

Everything is made with natural, fresh, and high quality ingredients. It's located in a plaza with a decent amount of parking. It's a small store with a bright and modern interior. They only have four tables, so it's better for grab-and-go. They have a grass wall backdrop for some photo ops. They have an open kitchen concept, so you can see them prepare the drinks and food with fresh fruits and vegetables. I've been here multiple times and my favorite items to order are the smoothies, raw juices, energy protein balls, and vegan donuts. They offer a large variety of fruits, vegetables, and superfoods for their drinks. So whether you want something spicy, sweet, tangy, tropical, or herbal... they have it all! The juices have concentrated, intense, and bold flavors. The smoothies are thick and creamy with well-balanced flavors. Both are incredibly refreshing and you can't go wrong with ordering any on the menu. The energy protein balls are a great snack - it's almost like eating raw cookie dough, but a much healthier version. The vegan donuts are a must try! I've tried both the pitaya and matcha flavors. I was disappointed that the flavors weren't strong, BUT the icing and texture made up for it. They use delicious almond and rum frosting glazed over the top. The texture is completely different from a regular donut. It's a lot more fluffy and moist, similar to a muffin or cake. Service is really a hit or miss depending on what day and time you go. Every time I come, they are busy. I guess they're so busy that they don't have time to acknowledge or greet customers. There's not much interaction except for when you place your order. You may also have to wait awhile for your order to come out. I recommend ordering ahead if you want to save time. If you sign up for their emails/texts/rewards program, they send you $5 coupons every Friday! GO RAW!!!

I've driven by countless times and never noticed it. There's street parking right up front and a small lot in the back. The interior looks exactly how you'd expect a dessert spot to look like - bright, colorful, and vibrant. It's very spacious with plenty of seating. There's booths, benches, stools, and tables - great for small and large parties. I was impressed by how clean everything was. The frozen yogurt is completely self-serve. You choose between a cup, waffle bowl, or cone. They have 6 machines with 18 different flavors. They have a mix of classic, fruity, and decadent flavors. You fill your cup with as much as you want and then you head over to the toppings bar to add in your favorite fruits, candies, chocolates, syrups, etc. Prices are by weight - a little over $0.80 per ounce. The employee was friendly and helpful when I asked for samples. I filled my cup with the California Tart (sour&tangy), Strawberry Sensation (tastes like real strawberries), Dreamy Chocolate (very rich), and Sea Salt Caramel Pretzel (salty&sweet) flavors. Then I sprinkled on some mochi bites and cookie dough. My total was ~$9. One spoonful and I was in love! All of the flavors were true to their names and tasted exactly how they're supposed to. They were super rich and nothing tasted artificial or overly sweet. The texture was PERFECT - creamy, smooth, dense, and similar to soft serve ice cream. It's hard to find froyo that isn't watery, icy, or artificial tasting. I'm super happy that I stumbled upon Yo-Delight. It's a bit expensive compared to other businesses, but I'm happy to pay for better quality. I received a punch card - on the 10th purchase you get $10 off. In addition to froyo, they also have other desserts like ice cream, acai bowls, sundaes, crepes, shakes, and dippin dots. Best believe I'll be coming here to satisfy my sweet tooth!
