Why 5 stars? Because I have nothing to complain about with my acai bowl. --- --- --- I was told by someone a few months ago that Playa Bowls is the best acai/smoothie place. I'd never heard of it, but he lives in another part of the country, so I figured I would just have to take his word for it. Fast forward several months later, and I see a Playa Bowls is opening in a new strip center near my house! I stalked the progress every time I drove by and it finally opened recently. It turns out, this guy knows what he was talking about. I couldn't have enjoyed my tropical bowl anymore than I did. I swapped out pineapple for mango and it was perfect. I will happily return again in the future, as there are a ton of great options on the menu.

This place has a lot of promise, but was ultimately disappointing. First of all, this place is vey cute inside. It is new so everything is clean and well-kept and makes for a lovely dining environment. The woman working the cash register was friendly and offered any explanations needed to select the perfect bowl. As for the bowls themselves, they were rather disappointing. The bowls were very average: The base arrived half-melted (meaning not fully blended frozen) and although the toppings were nice, they did not make up for the $14 price tag. Ultimately, I think this place is still new and figuring stuff out, so I will be back to try more bowls and update my review.

Pretty solid place for a quick Açai with Nutella. The place is clean and the employees were friendly.

Nica bowl - 9/10 - $12.49 - My favorite of the three. I really liked the banana blend, and the cacao nibs/walnuts added a crunch Mango berry - 8.5/10 - $12.49 - Mango base tasted like a mango smoothie, very refreshing i would add more toppings on this one Playa passion bowl - 8/10 - More on the tart rather than sweet side. I really liked the coconut cream on top. Tropical twist smoothie - 7/10 - Very tropical/tart which is great for the summer but very sweet for me Mermaid fuel juice - 8/10 - $6.99 - Refreshing and clean but very sweet Summer vacay protein bite - 6.5/10 - Tasted like an oatmeal ball, really sweet/chocolatey Playa Bowls has opened a new location in the north side with the largest menu ive seen at a bowls spot. They have so many base options (you can combine 2 bases) but i do think the bases were on the sweeter side compared to other bowls ive had. I personally prefer Mamaka or Jus Bowl for acai bowls in the Houston area but this place also had pretty good bowls.

This is the Nutaya- Pitaya Bowl , amazing

Super clean. Extremely clean. Can't get any cleaner. He disinfected the table shortly after each…read morecustomer left. He even moved the chairs to sweep under table after each customer! You will not be able to find a piece of lint on the floor. Also very friendly and shared a ton of interesting stories! I remembered maybe 10ish years ago acai bowls were in trend. Then it faded? I never tried it while it was in trend because I was a college student and it was one of those moments where you decide to spend $12 on a protein/carb/veggie meal or on an acai bowl that will hopefully keep you full until your next meal. Fast forward and I'm still not in my career yet lol. Making residency salary and having this is moreso as a treat. It's sort of a healthier way to look at dessert? Thicker than a smoothie. Not sweet like Gelato. Can alter it to have higher protein or sweetier depending on what you choose. There are a lot of options and fiber rich. The presentation is pretty. I do think you have to be in the mood for this. My friend loves acai bowls. Me? It's not something I would crave but I'll be down to have it again if my friend wanted it.

Why 5 stars? Because I'm so glad I came here…read more --- --- --- 6-7 years ago, Acai bowls really had their day. There were shops popping up on every corner, and while I always loved acai bowls, they were pretty much the same no matter where you went. And after leaning pretty hard into this trend for a while, I reached acai over-saturation. Fast forward to recent times and I was excited to check out Nautical Bowls when it opened. The menu looked pretty unique, and it had been quite a while since my last bowl. Each weekend would come and go and I would still manage to not stop in. Today, I was sitting on the couch about to doze off. I had two choices: give into the nap Gods, and probably set myself up for a poor night of sleep ahead, or get up and finally make that trip to Nautical Bowls. I chose the latter, and as I mentioned above, I'm so glad I did. I walked in and stared at the menu for an awkwardly long time. Each item looked appealing and it seemed like they were all only 1-2 ingredients different from the last. I considered even building my own, but that thought was fleeting. Let's just roll with one of the chosen items. There's always a future visit where we can get crazy with something custom. So I went with the Blue Bay Bowl: Blue Majik, Açaí, Coconut, Spirulina Chia, Granola, Banana, Strawberries, Coconut Butter Crumbles. I asked what Blue Majik and Spirulina were: I was told both had a coconut cream flavor. I was also told Spirulina was an algae. That almost swayed me away, but I didn't want to be a basic b. Algae, you say? I aint scared. It turns out, this bowl met every single aspect of the fantasy I had in my head when I was debating between taking a nap and coming here. It was amazing. Every bite. It definitely was not your grandmother's acai bowl, either. There was a lot going on and I loved every aspect of it. And as promised, there was no shortage of coconut cream. I will absolutely be back because I want to try pretty much everything on the menu. Welcome to the 'hood, Nautical Bowls!

I'm not sure if it's just my luck, but everytime I come here and the two young girls are working,…read moremy order takes forever because they just play around the whole time or they're super high. Haven't figured out which one yet. My final straw was this week. I did a pick up order to grab on my way home from work, walked in and the girls did not say a word to me. They were making açaí bowls, just laughing and acting like I wasn't there. Finally when they put the açaí bowls on the to go counter the brunette asks for my order. I said I have a to go order, and she said they still need to make it. As she starts making it, a man walks in and SAME THING. ignores him and continues playing around, dancing and laughing. While they're making mine, another woman walks in and they ask her what she wants, completely ignoring the man that walked in before the woman. He obviously was frustrated a left. As the blonde was cutting my quesadilla, because they were playing around so much, she dropped the cutter and her and her coworker just stared at the floor. I got fed up and just said I'd cut it at home. I waited in total, 35 minutes for my order. 20 minutes inside for a simple order that was placed when I was over 15 minutes away from the restaurant. It's ok to have fun with your coworkers, but it's not ok when you're ignoring and losing customers.

Awesome place fast and friendly very great service. Love the food and smoothies. Keep up the great…read morework you guys.

I visited here during my search for healthy eateries in the Woodlands area. Some reviewers say the…read moregrinder was really good but after looking at the menu, I had my heart set on the steak sandwich. I figure any steak sandwich under $15 is a good deal these days. There are 2 kiosks for ordering, but also a manned register. The food did take a while to come out but after the first bite I knew I made the right selection. It's sliced just right so that it's easy to chew, tasted like a steak, and it was indeed a healthy meal. I enjoyed everything about the sandwich, even got a few bites of some apples when eating the 2nd half of the sandwich which was a nice surprise/addition. Here, unlike another healthy fast casual place in town, I did like the available tea selection. I also ordered a cookie for dessert and it turned to be really tasty as well. My dining partner ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl with rice and roasted veggies and really enjoyed that as well.

I was pleased with the welcoming reception of the young man that took my order and the decor bright and uplifting. You can create custom breakfast bowls, but this was outside my comfort zone ... I ordered the Cheat Wrap. The wait was long enough that I suspect that the bacon was fried to order. Overall the experience was good. I will await my wife's verdict on quality and taste. ...the verdict is in! My wife enjoy her "high-end breakfast sandwich".
