I stopped here for a protein shake. I got the Booster. It was tasty, filling, and unexpectedly pretty. I didn't have to wait long at all either. The menu offers many different options from smoothies to bowls and more. I would definitely recommend and come back here again. Happy customer! read more

Delicious! The bowls are absolutely delicious! Even the shakes too! I took the peanut butter one with mango and as much as I want to love it, maybe the flavor just wasn't for me. I'm still giving them a 5 stars because the service was excellent service and their place was super clean and chill to hang out at. read more

"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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Everything went well. Attentive staff, tasty juices and bowls. It is pricey, but I guess that's the price to be paid for eating healthy!

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! read more

Stopped in at the Playa Bowls located in Glastonbury, it was such a cute store. The staff were so kind and helpful, especially when ordering. After some time looking through the menu, I decided to go with the Nutella Bowl (Playa Acai topped with blueberry flax granola, strawberry, banana, coconut flakes, and Nutella). I did substitute the coconut flakes and they were so kind about subbing ingredients. The bowl I got was a good size and after eating a bit, I still had leftovers. read more

I love playa bowls. Mostly when we come I always get a bowl but they do have other options like oatmeal or smoothies. I do miss that they no longer have the chia pudding to add to your bowls. But that won't stop me from coming. Playa's bowls are nice and refreshing on a hot day. The bowls are good sized so I usually get one and share it with my two little girls. My favorite bowls is the Coco Craze. And sometimes I will split the base so I get half coconut base and half green base. I love that you're able to customize and switch it up. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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! read more

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. read more

Finally tried a playa bowl today. When you walk in the aesthetic is very beachy/tropical. The atmosphere was honestly my favorite part of the experience. Good music and vibes and plenty of places to get a good Instagram shot. The staff was friendly and will allow you to sample the base product. I sampled the pitaya base. The only thing I remember about it was the texture. A little bit grainy. I went for the Tropical Açaí bowl. It has banana, granola, pineapple, coconut flakes and honey. The pineapple was flavorless however the rest of the bowl was great. It was a little expensive in my opinion and it only comes in one size. I did ask for extra honey halfway through my bowl and the staff was happy to give me more whenever I asked. Overall, great place good staff and fun atmosphere. The only thing that bothered me was the trash can. They have tin cans with a lid. Cute for the atmosphere but due to Covid I was hesitant to open the lid to dispose of trash. read more

I love this place! So far I have been to this location and the one in West Hartford and they are both great, recipes and product seems to be consistent throughout. Makes for a great snack or replacement meal with healthy and fresh ingredients. I love the Nutella açaí bowl, I even decided to add some honey to it and it actually complimented it very well. I highly recommend it if you're in the area. read more

I went into tonight after work to try their summer special the Mango Glow Bowl, the ingredients listed said mango base, vital proteins, collagen, peptides topped with blueberry flax granola, pineapple, kiwi and coconut flakes, goji berries and honey. I asked to replace the goji berries with blueberries. What I had received is a mango base , with little chunks of granola ( maybe like a few pieces), kiwi, blueberries, slight coconut flakes. To say im disappointed is hard to admit. I love Playabowls. I live in Fl so my playa bowls location knows me pretty well and anytime a new bowl drops they let me try for free because of my foodblog but they always go the extra mile. Although I still ate the bowl because Im not going let it go to waste I was not happy with how I felt this order was rushed and didn't come as advertised. Please make sure your customers get what they are paying for. :) read more

Playa Bowls is a healthier option of a lunch for me. I like to go here in the summer, but as long as they're open, I'll go all year. The Playa Bowls shop has a very summery, Hawaiian, beachy vibe. It is adorable and very inviting inside, especially when it is summer. On my most recent visit I got the Jetty Chia pudding bowl. This is fresh, light and so tasty, it's chia pudding with strawberries, goji berries, granola and blueberries, with a little honey on top. This is a great breakfast option, or lunch, and I've had it for dinner before, probably not recommend as such. I can make this myself, but my chia pudding isn't as good. There are many different bowls you can get at Playa Bowls, with lots of options for toppings. The servings are a very generous size, great for sharing or for later. The young people working at the stores are pleasant and do their job well. I recommend this place and the tasty options of bowls. read more

I've been coming to this place for many months now. Whenever I'm in the area, I'll stop in for an açaí bowl. The bowls are always prepared quickly and they don't skimp on the ingredients. Always a very dependable and tasty dish with top notch ingredients. Two thumbs way up. Too small items: One, the staff is always fast and efficient, but hardly engaging in any way. I get it. They're not owners, but the vibe just doesn't match the chill decor. Two, the public bathroom has been out of service for a year. One just gets the sense that this isn't really the case, but that they are just being compliant with the legal requirement of having a bathroom, but prefer to not have to deal with people actually using it. Overall, I'd highly recommend the place for it's very tasty food, wide variety of drink options, cool decor and quick service. read more

Friendly staff and a variety of options to choose from in the menu. The interior is very colorful and really captures the vibe of summer.

I have been to many playa bowls locations and have been a loyal customer since they were a food truck down the jersey shore. Love the business. We ordered two bowls and it took over 30 minutes to receive the bowls. What we got was two bowls of liquid, they were completely melted. The workers took so long to assemble these bowls it seemed like they were training and didn't know what goes on each bowl. There was barely any granola, the mint in my boyfriend's bowl was half brown. We ended up going home and re-freezing them just so we could enjoy them. After all that I realized they didn't even give me the correct order. I ordered a nutella bowl, subbed for pitaya base with almond butter on top. Wrong bowl so wrong fruits on top and no almond butter when I paid extra to add it. Will be avoiding this location at all costs. Only reason for the 2nd star is I love all the other locations. But this one I would give zero if I could. read more

Great place for fresh fruit and unique flavors. Well designed store with great selection

Awful customer service. I was blatantly ignored by about 7 women (only two or three of whom looked to be doing anything.) When I finally did say something I was met with smirks and "maybe we didn't know you placed your order and maybe we thought this or that." Mind you I was the only person standing at the counter and it was pretty empty in there at the time. One tall blond lady asked me if I was being helped. I replied no and she said "Oh" and walked away. Not only did she not help me she didn't tell anyone else that I needed help (which is what I was waiting for at least. ) She literally just said "Oh" and walked away. Can't make this stuff up. I almost couldn't believe how rude. I was standing right in front of them for at least 8 minutes trying to be patient thinking there's no way I'm really being ignored like this. I noticed that the young lady who prepared the order I was there to pick up who also looked right at me, set the order to the side and went on to another order without once asking if I was there for that order or if I needed any help) also smirking the entire time I was speaking with the "manager" (not sure if she was really the manager.)When I saw the managers smirk and attitude while addressing the matter that said a lot. Not saying everyone is treated this way (maybe they are selective with this) but there was definitely something nasty going on at this location. read more
