I'm a huge Playa Bowls fan! I went with my family last night and had the most delicious Nutelloco bowl (Coconut base with Nutella and lots of toppings). My family enjoyed their bowls as well. My brother's a huge banana fan and loved the banana base. The service was great last night. We ate at the large wooden table in the back which was able to fit the four of us. It was incredibly sticky and gross. We tried putting down napkins and they just stuck to the table. I would recommend getting your bowls to-go because every countertop truly felt sticky. read more

I had a great experience at this Playa Bowl location. The staff are very friendly and quick! Our orders were ready in less than 5 mins. They have tons of options to choose from which is also really great. Lots of space to sit and eat too. read more

I made a Yelp account just to post this if that says anything about how my experience was. I am absolutely disgusted with the way I heard the workers talking. Not only were they bragging about being high and drunk as underage children, but they were also incredibly rude in demeanor. I waited in line, heard part of their conversation and just knew I didn't not want to be helped by people who talk the way they do. It's entirely disgusting and I hope someone of higher management sees this and understands that hiring people who act the way I saw these children acting is despicable. I went in at around 7:40ish and have no idea if any one was actually in charge because of how childish and disgusting their behavior was. Will not return and highly discourage anyone from going. read more

Embarrassingly bad service. I waited nearly 6 minutes for a basic açaí bowl while three workers- man named Christian, a girl with blue hair, and another girl standing around uselessly, stood fighting about who was going home first. Not one of them cared that tickets were piling up. My order and several others just sat there ignored while they ran their mouths. When Christian finally bothered to ask if I was waiting, my açaí bowl was already finished , just sitting there melting -- because they were too busy arguing to even pack it. No apology, no acknowledgment, just complete laziness and disrespect for customers. If showing up to work is too hard for you, stay home. You're an adult -- start acting like one. Some of us have real places to be unlike working at Playa bowl acting like that. read more

Playa Bowls is my favorite açaí place I have been to! Whenever I am in Fairfield, I always stop here. My favorite bowl is the Nutella bowl which is a great combination of sweet ingredients. I like to use the Playa app to order ahead but if I am meeting friends, I'll typically order once I get to Playa. The wait can vary from 5 mins to 10 mins to get your bowl once you order. The Nutella bowl is about ~$11. It's totally worth it. The atmosphere is great and they have good outdoor seating. It is also in an ideal location off Post Road. I can't wait to come back again for another bowl! read more

Probably my favorite go-to spot in Fairfield. Always reliable and hits the spot. Sometimes can take a long time (not usually their fault though, açaí bowls just take a long time to make). Never had something here I don't like! read more

I had such a terrible experience on Tuesday, I had an issue with my order and I asked to speak to someone the manager was really rude and ignorant, and I'm under the impression that she was under they the influence as she smelt like marijuana and her eyes were really red she wasn't taking anything I said serious, she had an attitude and kept asking me what I wanted her to do I used to love coming to this place with my kiddos but I don't know if this is the environment I want to be in read more

If you love açaí bowls of every single possibility, Playa Bowls is the place to be! Nutella and tropical were our choices and they are decent size and so delicious. Honestly, I doubt you could go wrong with any of their options! It's a lovely little place and the vibe is definitely set upon entering! You will love to sit back and hang there for sure. The reason they lose a star is because it is a little costly. 3 bowls (one for each kid) and it was $42.00 plus a tip. It's not a place we are hitting up every week, but for just a few bucks less, we would. I wish I could half a star because it definitely would only lose 1/2 not the full star. read more

Just recently getting into the açaí bowl game. Have tried a few local places around the Westport area, but I was truly blown away at how good these bowls were. We tried the tropical açaí bowl and the nutella açaí bowl and thoroughly enjoyed both! read more

Large array of options and a happy place that makes you feel like you're on vacation. Great bowls and smoothies.

I'm reviewing Playa Bowl after my second experience. The atmosphere inside is airy and spacious for you to sit and enjoy your bowl or smoothie. Also there is an outdoor place. I had both my bowls to go. The first bowl I had was a coconut base(Nutelloco). The base was too sweet for my liking, especially because it's topped with lots of sweet ingredients. My second time I had the Olas bowl. This is my favorite. Not too sweet, the banana base is divine. I love all the ingredients. The serving is huge, add almond butter to it and I couldn't finish the entire bowl in one sitting. It was still delicious after it all melted. I would definitely go back. I'm excited to try the other bases. read more

Tonight I went to Playa Bowls with my roomates. We had the absolute BEST service. Our cashiers name was Josie and she was a beem of sunshine. True representation of what a great employee should be.

Playa Bowls - Açaí Tropical- Acai Bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

So awesome!! I tried the acai bowl with granola, blueberries, strawberries & honey which was yummy, HEALTHY and delicious! The acai had a very nice texture and their granola is perf too! Not too many hard raw oats. There are plenty of options for different tastes, and some mix-ins too such as peanut butter, nutella and sliced almonds. The space is inviting and chill and the outdoor seating is a plus. A little pricey though ($10 for a bowl). I wont be visiting as often as I like because of the cost and distance from where I live however it makes for a good treat when in the area. read more

I would like to retract my one star review of the Fairfield Playa Bowl service and change to five stars, based on the service I received today. I was reluctant to step back in there after my last emotionally-charged, highly disappointing experience with the service staff the last time I was there. But apparently my actions and words were taken seriously and into account, because the way I was treated today was entirely different from the last time. I was greeted with a smile, and was reassured that my entire order would be free of charge. What a refreshing turnaround that was much appreciated. It takes a lot of courage to go from the bottom of the barrel to the top, and that ability to go from rude and unconscious to fully conscious and kind deserves a full five stars. Imagine if every mistake in the world were turned around that quickly and that extremely--what an amazing world it would be indeed. Brava to the manager at Playa Bowl Fairfield. Your kindness was so beautiful today and so appreciated. God bless. read more

I love Playa Bowls a lot, but I have to give just 4 stars because their service is not always the best. However their product is simply delicious with fresh fruit and other natural ingredients offered in countless forms which are nearly all great. I recommend the Pura Vida Bowl. Their prices are high but everything is freshly made and sourced honestly. Definitely come here if you haven't already. read more

BEST BEST BEST BOWLS!!! My husband and I travel to many states and Connecticut takes the win because of Playa Bowl! I love the name which brought us back to Miami Fl (home). Florida needs to up their game! And the staff there are so friendly and sweet. Clean environment and super fast! Our favorite part is that the bowls are extremely filling!!! And huge!!!! Worth every penny! It's about 35 mins away from our current location in CT, worth the drive any day! read more

every time I am down in this area I go here. I have been to playabowls in west Hartford and all over NJ. love the product you put out, but today at 9:20 my friend and I went and noticed the door was locked. the sign said open at 9:00 am the two women inside saw us and did not acknowledge us. we knocked and they still looked down. I am in the service industry. how do you not acknowledge a paying customer? they looked to be preparing an order, just tell me you aren't open. very disappointed. We gave our business to another place in town!!! read more

Bowls are great, annoyed staff. I'm fine waiting 15-25 minutes if it's busy, but the store was EMPTY, nobody was doing anything, no urgency, they didn't care we were there . Took 20 minutes. I asked for Nutella on my bowl, disgruntled cashier said ok, when I noticed she didn't add it after putting it in the bag, I asked for her to please add it, she gave me a frustrated look. It seems since Covid, something in an order is ALWAYS wrong, and we're expected to just deal with it. This can't be the new norm, customer service today was beat Great vibes though read more

I appreciate them making my bowl 20 minutes before closing but the attitudes were through the roof. Not thrilled with my experience.

I love playa however this location is consistently terrible. The workers are openly on their phones, they're in no rush to get your food out and they're rude. They are inconsiderate. There has been 5 customers in here and we have all been waiting over 30 minutes for our one orders. Terrible service. read more

Great stuff. Always awesome. Slight premium on price but worth the extra money. So good!!! mckennam read more

I stumbled across this place on a late Sunday afternoon. It caught my eye and I decided to walk in to check it out. Their menu is huge! I loved the variety and how it was 90% vegan! I decided to order the Olas bowl from the banana bowl section. $10 is a pretty standard price for a smoothie bowl these days. My bowl was made quickly and was absolutely beautiful! Their presentation was excellent. I loved it from the first bite. Super creamy and delicious. All of the toppings went perfectly together too. Probably one of the best bowls I've ever had. I really enjoyed their sitting area too, very peaceful. I can't wait to try another location! read more

Playa Bowls - Olas Bowl: Banana/Almond Milk/Honey base with granola, blueberries, banana, chia/flax seeds, coconut flakes and almond butter. So delicious - Acai Bowls Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

Food: 5 stars. The people that work there: 0 stars. To start, the hours at this place make no sense. They don't open til 9am even though their food is common breakfast food. On this particular day, I walked in to be told "we aren't open til 9:30 today...we are running late". The employees are all HS or college aged so it's no wonder for the hours and runny late on a weekend... read more

Huge fan of playa bowls which is why this experience was so upsetting. Employees showed up 10 minutes late, then proceeded to tell us we needed to wait 15 minutes outside until we could come in. The hours day it starts at 9, which should mean open to the public at 9. They were way behind on mobile orders by 9:30. Extremely unprofessional and maybe they should show up early if it's gonna take them 15 minutes to prepare for the day. read more

This place has great bowls... but it shouldn't take 30 mins! Who is running this place?? What a disaster

I use to always come here after school but because of COVID that stopped and I wasn't regularly here anymore what stops me from coming here more is the staff. I have to lie EVERYTIME and say I'm allergic to bananas to get my bowl without bananas everything the person at the register looks extremely annoyed and frustrated. Customer service is what holds me back from coming here. They all have an attitude in the back talking about how they hate it here in the summer if you don't want to work here no one is forcing you!!! Back to my no banana problems I always need to lie about the allergy because if I don't they said nope not possible. How can you be so lazy to make a bowl without banana!!!!! read more

Hoping this is helpful for management/owner. The drinks and bowls are fresh and great. Covid precautions need help. Been there twice in the last two weeks and masks are down at times .. don't see hand washing, kids of owner running around with phone in hand then touching counters where food prep is. One employee wipes her sweat off with a paper towel and gloves hands then touched her hair to smooth it back with same gloves anddd then to the food. Hair should be back and up as well. This a serious guys. You owe it to the public to be clean. No cross contamination!!! Otherwise the bowls and drinks are really yummy. Have staff hand sanctities in front of customers or new gloves and hand sanitizer. Gloves do not replace hand washing or sanitizer. read more

I normally love this place but today was a huge disappointment. First of all none of the employees are wearing hair nets. I watched the person making the bowls scratch her head with the gloves and continue to cut fruit with out changing gloves. I ordered $70 worth of bowls only to be robbed of pitaya base and instead they filled it with granola so it wasn't low. The employees walk around in little booty shorts , very UNPROFESSIONAL. You work with peoples food, very disgusting. read more

The young woman with the curly teal mermaid hair needs to put it back. It's a cafe, you're a food handler, follow the rules. All of the staff members need to change their gloves more frequently. Not just when I stare you down or say something. Enough said. If you make a mistake, redo the whole bowl. Never ever just scrape off the top. Have. Some. Manners. Without customers, you have no business. Be nice, greet people, at least pretend to remotely care about retaining your customers. Do not snarl, roll your eyes, and snap defensively - especially if you've made an error. My daughter loves your product, but I'm the one with the cash and the Yelp account. read more

THIS WAS SO BAD. I ordered a pitaya bowl with bananas and strawberries and the pitaya base was LITERALLY JUST SHAVED ICE!!! For $15?? no. Never going back here. read more

Super cute atmosphere, extensive menu, and tasty food! I got the Nica bowl and it was extremely fresh. I had no problem with the service, but I did go pretty early and no one else was really there. We were given our bowls in less than 5 minutes! I know some have said the bowls were pretty small, and I admittedly like to eat with my eyes more than my stomach sometimes. Although it seemed small at first, there's more in it than you think. A little pricey, but that's expected with fresh food, and they have a loyalty card where after 12 bowls you get one free!! I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Look - the bowls are awesome, everything is delicious, but the service is consistently bad. Empty store and I'm just standing there waiting. They see me, I know they see me, but they do nothing. I end up approaching and asking if I can pick up my order. Maybe I was wearing my invisibility cloak, but I don't think so. Come on peeps - try and care read more
