Power Bowl
Jordan S.

Good bowls but definitely gives chain restaurant vibes. We tried a couple of the bowls, they acai base is ok, a little sweet but not bad. The Mango base is really sweet and syrupy, which isn't my favorite but some people may like. Just depends on how you like your bowls. HUGE variety of bowl options, which is nice. We also tried a couple of their cold brew options, both were excellent. We also tried some of their pumpkin protein bites, tasty little snacks Staff was all super friendly. They were getting absolutely crushed by the crowd when we came in, but still smiling and churning out bowls.

Pura Vida Acai Bowl

There are so many smoothie and açaí places in Lexington, but Playa Bowls is the best one in my opinion! The ingredients are fresh and consistent. I've been a few times and have loved everything I tried, especially the Pura Vida Bowl and the oatmeal bowl! They have a massive menu and so many options to choose from. The inside is spacious and there are seats outside as well.

Dolce Latte Smoothie 20oz

So happy to have our very own Playa Bowls in Lexington! I tried the Goldie Mango Bowl, Dolce Latte Smoothie, and Aloha Smoothie. All were very unique and flavorful. Service was very helpful and fast. The inside is decorated so cute and on theme for the coastal vibe! Can't wait to try other smoothies and bowls!

Coco Craze Coconut Bowl
Vicky C.

First time trying Playa Bowl and I got the Coco Craze at Playa Bowl because I love coconut, and it did not disappoint! It came with crunchy granola, mango, pineapple, dried coconut, honey, and small pieces of frozen blueberry. The combination was incredibly refreshing and perfect for the hot weather right now. The staff was super helpful and nice, making the experience even better. Even though the environment can be a bit loud, it's always clean and colorful, which adds to the fun atmosphere. Highly recommend!"

My wife and I have been to countless Acai/Smoothie spots over the years but this chain is by far the best. It's consistently clean, friendly and delicious! Hope it never changes

Nutella Acai Bowl

I went with some friends and we all got the Nutella Açai bowls! They were really yummy. The wait was a kinda long but worth it!

I came here this past Sunday to do some schoolwork. It is a busy shop with plenty of people hanging…read moreout to study or spend time with their friends or families over a cuppa. I guess the shop is connected to two shops, or are the other shops part of the coffee shop? There are plenty of knick-knacks, from mugs, stationery, coffee beans, t-shirts, and more. The coffee selection itself was plentiful, and I ordered an iced creme bru-latte (I'm a basic one); it was good. I could taste how good the coffee beans, and the flavor was strong, just like how I like my coffee. As for the coffee shop part of the store, there are plenty of tables to sit and choose from to study for hours or to people-watch--my favorite thing to do at a coffee shop. I highly recommend this hidden little gem to those in town looking for a great coffee shop. This place is your spot!

We shared a slice of Martine's Pastry double chocolate cake and wow, it was divine, so rich, fudgy, and absolutely worth the indulgence. The variety of coffee choices was seriously next level! We shared a cup of their decaf espresso and it was smooth, bold, and perfectly balanced. Definitely a spot we'll be revisiting. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and explained how their process worked. Very neat spot.

Kaede Market is a Japanese market and takeout place. My Japanese friend and I are both foodies and…read moreshe highly recommended it to me. I haven't been to the market itself but I can vouch for the take out -- it is authentic, fresh, and 100% tasty. My friend speaks Japanese, so she called a few hours ahead to place the order for pick up later. I had the Katsudon and Gyudon. Katsudon is fried porkcut and eggs over rice. The pork hit the spot. The eggs were soft. I did wish the eggs were a little runny and there was a little had more sauce to add more flavor to my rice. But by all means it was still delicious. Gyudon is the beef bento box, with beef over rice and some sides of pickled veggies and broccoli. The beef was tender and extremely flavorful. The onions and seaweed contributed to the complex flavor of the otherwise plain rice. One complaint I have is the meat-to-rice ratio. In every bowl, there's simply too much rice. Nevertheless, for the unbeatable price ($6.25 for each of the items above; some cost a little more) and authenticity, I would willingly come back again and again. My Japanese friend sees Kaede as a hidden gem that reminded her of home -- a little piece of Japan right here in Lexington!
