"How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl Year after year" (Pink Floyd) Speaking of Bowls, you had better study Playa Bowl's menu well in advance or else you'll be staring at their menu board for quite the long time. Their humongous menu tempts you with five Acai Bowls, six Pitaya (Dragonfruit) Bowls, five Green (Kale based) bowls, four Banana Bowls, five coconut Bowls, four Mango Bowls, Five Oatmeal Bowls, or two February Special Bowls. That sure is a lot of Bowls, wouldn't you agree? . But if Bowls ain't your jam, you can be a Smooth Operator and put your nickel down on one of their eleven Smoothies. We ordered their Number 5 Oatmeal Bowl with Steel Cut Organic Oatmeal topped with banana, walnut, cinnamon, and figs. It was a good-sized bowl ($11) with a nice contrasting combination of hot oatmeal and toppings. The interior of Playa is dazzling, so their design team gets high marks for their pastel packed tropical beach theme. Service was very good, too, as the helpful staff assisted us with the menu choices and ordering.

This was my first time trying the Playa Bowls in Gkastonbury. The food is always amazing. So fresh and healthy. Gives you plenty of energy without the crash that the typical high carb, salty sugary food give us. So do your body a favor and try Playa Bowls TODAY !! You will be glad you did. The ambiance here is grab n go with a very beachy surferish Hawaiian vibe to it. Be sure to grab some merch while you're there and there's some free swag too by the register (usually) As for service, it takes 3 to 10 minutes for your order to come out typically.

Tropical Crush Bowl
Jazz A.

Dropped by playa bowl at the Glastonbury location with some friends! And happy to see the February specials and some new menu items ! They now have a mango base a coconut base and a banana base ! The February special includes a BAE bowl with has a mix of playa Pitaya and stupid cupid ( strawberry , banana and coconut) base topped with strawberry's banana , granola and goji berries and Nutella . And the tropical crush that will get you in the summer mood you have been waiting for ! I ordered the tropical crunch which has the mix of pitaya and the passion fruit base ( both amazing ) topped with blueberry flax granola, strawberry's , banana , cocoa whip and honey ! Both of these were so good! Honestly everything I've had so far on the menu is amazing including the green bowls ! Honestly you can't go wrong with whatever you pick ! Can't wait to be back and try more flavours

Pura Vida bowl

This was my first time at Playa Bowls but it won't be my last. Playa bowls is very bright and welcoming with plenty of seating if you should choose to eat in rather than opt for take out. Since it was my first time, I was unsure as to what to order. The server explained the menu and the ingredients used. She was incredibly pleasant and helpful. I chose the Pura Vida acai bowl. The bowl consisted of Playa Acai topped with blueberry flax granola, strawberry, blueberry, and honey. It was very refreshing and a great lunch. Service was very fast as well. I am looking forward to trying other menu items. I love trying different foods and Playa Bowls did not disappoint.

I was lucky and able to try Playa Bowls through Yelp's event and I'm so glad I was since I don't know if I would have tried this fabulous place on my own. I ordered the mango bowl with strawberries, bananas and Nutella mixed with oats. The flavor profile was amazing and unique. I checked out the cute restaurant space and other menu items and know for sure I will be back. A lot of the bowls also have protein and other work out type nutrients in there. It literally made me want to work out more so I could go and enjoy these bowls after a work out. The service was fast and friendly and I even got a cute sticker for free! Go try Playa Bowls! You won't be disappointed!

That delicious açaí bowl....I love me some açaí !! From Jersey shore to Glastonbury....If you are looking for a healthy after work out meal option or breakfast you've come to the right place. Freshest finest ingredients that are good for you and now I'm addicted. Walking through that door makes you forget where you are ... at some surfer shack in Hawaii or pineapple land or something!! The menu can be overwhelming but if you narrow it down to what you want then it's simple from there on. Honestly you can't go wrong with any option you choose. I love tropical fruits so naturally I tended towards the tropical bowl... omg the very first bite filled my heart with joy. The acai was blended to perfection topped with banana, pineapple and granola and shaved coconut (don't be alarmed by it) it actually tastes good. The only thing id hold off on is the honey drizzle.. coz it made it too sweet. Im a huge fan and I can see this becoming a regular routine!

a bowl of fruit and a pineapple
Jen H.

I'll let my Playa Bowls app be proof of my addiction to açaí bowls, especially the Glastonbury location. Conveniently on my way to work, the moment 8am hits and the app is open to order, you'll find many days where you'll immediately see an order for a Pacific Bowl (no almonds, add blueberries) hits so I can snag it on my commute. It's a healthy green bowl with kale smoothie base that keeps my health (and blood sugars) in tact for the work day. If I treat myself I'll add in a seasonal coffee as well. The Playa Bowls app enables my addiction because I'll earn rewards and get surprise coupons for my favorites. Other favorites I've tried are electric mermaid and I honestly would have the majority of the bowls here depending on my mood. Thank you Playa Bowls for some healthy consistency to my routine and a sweet treat when I want to treat myself.

Nutella Acai Bowl
Sarah N.

I haven't had an açaí bowl in years, so I forgot what they tasted like. I got the Nutella Bowl here and it was amazing. It certainly satiated my craving. Everything tasted fresh, and the nutella complemented the rest of the bowl very well. The bowl was also the perfect size for me and just under $14 after tax.

Gingerbread Smoothie
Taylor M.

We love Playa Bowls - Glastonbury has one of our favorite locations since there is plenty of seating. While I usually go for a bowl, I tried the gingerbread smoothie and was not disappointed! The blended granola gave the smoothie a really nice texture and I loved the bold gingerbread flavors. In addition, we ordered the vanilla orange smoothie which reminded me of an orange Julius!

Pura Vida Acai Bowl
Jason P.

For a food that I love, I eat açaí bowls way too infrequently. I don't even know what I'm doing. It makes no sense. Recently, I drove by the Glastonbury Playa Bowls and it reminded me that I hadn't eaten an açaí bowl for a while, and I hadn't had Playa Bowls since a Yelp event at the West Hartford Playa Bowls. Last weekend, I righted the ship with a family takeout order. The inside of the Glastonbury Playa Bowls is like a tropical party. A feast for the senses with cool art, pineapples and lots of color. I was legit happy to wait for them to make my Pura Vida Bowl, my son's Power Bowl and my wife's Nutella Bowl. My Pura Vida Bowl was soft frozen açaí purée topped with blueberries, strawberries, granola and honey. It looked great. The fruit tasted fresh, the granola provided great texture and the acai hit the spot. My body felt great afterwards. This is a reminder -- that acai bowls need to be in regular rotation. Five Stars

Coco Craze Coconut Bowl
Melissa T.

If you're into smoothie bowls, this is the spot to hit up. I've been here a few times now and can't get over the Coco Craze Coconut Bowl. The coconut base pairs perfectly with the banana, mango, and pineapple, while the coconut flakes and granola with honey completes it. Occasionally my niece has joined me and she seems to favor the Dragonberry Pitaya Bowl, also noting the granola to stand out. The size of the bowls are pretty generous and filling. We both really enjoy the atmosphere, as it lets you experience a beachy/tropical vibe. The "Sticker of the Month" is an additional fun touch that my niece enjoys. I look forward to many more future visits.

Goldie Mango

I ordered a Goldie mango bowl and it was delicious. Takes some time to make as they make it there, not just take it out of the fridge. The restaurant was nice and there were some seats outside (from Starbucks next door but we still sat there).

On the morning of delivery, I was informed the cake was unavailable and would be substituted with something else. That was not acceptable, so I contacted Amazon. While they couldn't cancel the order, they issued me a credit, and I did not receive the original cake. I then ordered a 6-inch Chantilly Berry Cake for same-day delivery at 2 PM. It arrived early at 1:45 PM but was in terrible condition. The berries had fallen off the top, the frosting was damaged and ripped open on one side, and overall, the cake looked like a mess. I received a credit for this order as well, but the experience was very disappointing. I know Whole Foods in Glastonbury can deliver these cakes in excellent condition--I received one last July, and it was perfect. This time, the cake arrived in a flimsy box, which may have contributed to the damage. I appreciate the credits issued, but the quality and reliability of this order were far below expectations. I hope packaging and handling are improved going forward.

I've been grabbing lunch from Juiced Up for a while. I love that they're relatively affordable,…read moreaccessible, and everything is so good and fresh. The vibes are always right from the staff and they're pretty conversational if they have the time. They have a counter towards the window if you can't resist a bite before you head out, but they're pretty much take out. Parking is tough so it's right on Asylum but people tend to just double park and run in. I really like their grilled salmon stir-fry! As a heads up, there's no rice but the broccoli and cauliflower are sautéed well in a sauce that tastes like Cole slaw. The salmon is crispy without the dryness and perfectly seasoned. The rainforest smoothie is a little taste of the tropics with mango, pineapple, and watermelon. The large is more than enough.

The juice was phenomenal! Fruity, acidic, and in a shade of green that makes people question if you're an alien. Overall, a highly underrated place! Great juice, greater staff, and definitely an enjoyable experience!

The cashier was not very kind and rolled her eyes when I asked her to repeat herself (I couldn't hear through the mask and plexiglass). I work in customer service, so I always make it a point to be VERY kind to the workers--especially women, who are taught to be apologetic! However, it was a challenge when she also told me they weren't making milkshakes that day. She said, "No. We're not doing those," and proceeded to roll her eyes again. It's not about what you say--it's about HOW you say it. Additionally, the service took a long time. I felt really bad for the cashier because she was the only one working, which meant my order took about 20 minutes to make. She was balancing two other transactions as well... I remained patient but left feeling a little disrespected. I completely understand the pain & stress of being in customer service, but you shouldn't take it out on others. Maybe she was just having a bad day, but I was hurt by her demeanor (I felt like I had to apologize just for being there). Anyways, the bowl was yummy and filling, so it boosted my mood immediately. I got the U-N-I-T-Y bowl and ate it outside. Very refreshing! I also got a banana smoothie. It was pretty bland, but luckily I was full from the açaí bowl. I would come here again.
