    Trailblazer

    During my visit to Playa Bowls, I experience decent customer service; employees are nice, and the menu is easy for me to navigate. I order Trailblazer (granola, chocolate protein, banana, raw cacao, peanut butter, Chia Seeds): the flavors are subtle. The meal tastes more on the drier side though the base looks like the meal will be more moist, to me. The establishment has beachside surf vibes. The establishment accepts different forms of payment.

    Came here because a friend of mine wanted to get a smoothie post lunch Montclair is known to have parking headaches sometimes. Unless you work or live in area or snag metered street parking for .75. cents/hr - then it's not the easiest location to access I like the inside tho. Decorations and space. Lots of natural light during the day. Pumpkin spice season !!! So we tried the Pumpkin Pie Smoothie- small size. Very tasty and very thick/ heavy. I liked it but could only drink half of it because I was full from lunch I would come again to try other smoothies. Would be interesting to see how many calories in these things ... HMMM

    Meh, mediocre experience here, I prefer the Newark location much better. Montclair NJ might be cuter than Newark but NAH..... My coconut bowl wasn't as good as Newark, stingy with the toppings, even forgot the honey drizzle, disappointing! That drizzle changed that bowl from delicious to FABULOUS! The Orange power smoothie was good tho. Nah, I won't ever come to this location again

    I have been ordering from them on Uber Eats. I love their green juice, but every time I got less and less. I always get a large 20oz. Every time the cup seems smaller. The first picture is a 16 oz cup 60% full, second picture is the receipt shows that I've paid for a 20oz juice. The third photo is to put things into perspective for everyone, a 5.3 oz yogurt to the left and a 24 oz pickle jar when I paid for a 20oz juice, the fourth photo is the receipt shows my payment of a 20oz juice. I would say their bowls are good, but avoid getting juices unless you are in the store.

    I'm so disappointed my bowl looked like scraps of other people's bowl. I paid for extra granola extra Nutella and extra strawberries and didn't receive those extra items. I know I didn't receive those items because I order the same bowl for my daughter without extra items and they look the same. they rush my order and the bowl had no good presentation at all. do better playa bowls

    A great addition to the Montclair neighborhood. It really hits the spot when I'm craving sweets after eating in Montclair but don't want to feel extremely guilty about dessert. It is my go to spot now. You'll know where to find me after lunch/dinner ;) Sometimes Playa Bowls is extremely crowded and you have wait quite some time to get your smoothie/bowl (good luck trying to find a seat), but other times, it ain't so bad. Bowl-wise, I've only tried the Acai bowls, I have yet to try the Pitaya, Coconut and Green based bowls. I guess I can make it one of my goals to eventually try all of them out. After all, they do have a Loyalty Card here :) Buy 12 bowls and get 1 free! What I love about Playa Bowls is there are so many options! Juices, smoothies, bowls, Harmless Harvest coconut water, you name it! Bowls start around $9 which may seem a bit steep for some but it is really filling. it's pretty much a meal in itself, I cannot finish one after consuming food beforehand. I like the ambiance here, although its nothing fancy, it somehow feels like eating in a restaurant on a tropical island. The staff is super friendly and they always do a great job - everything is super fresh! My only wish now is that more Playa Bowls pop up in NJ because I have yet to find a place better than Playa Bowls when it comes to Acai bowls.

    Gave this place a try because my usual go-to was closed. I ordered the nutella acai bowl without coconut flakes, + pinneaple, + kiwi. Order & delivery was quick. But all I got was a bowl of strawberries with coconut flakes. I gave them 2 stars for the amount of strawberries they packed on lol But all the fruit that's supposed to come with, plus charged extra for and did not get ‍ (banana, pinneaple, and kiwi..).. Don't think I'll be back lol Definitely sticking with Tiki Bowls.

    Playa bowls is easily one of the best snack spots in town. The fruit is always freshens the bowls are always crafted with a fantastic presentation. The decor inside is awesome and really invite you in to come and relax. I'm also obsessed with their granola! I'll be sure to keep on returning.

    This location is great, friendly staff and there was actually a huge group of girls from school and our bowls still came out super quick. They had really nice specials for the day too outside from their menu. Never disappointed by plays bowls!

    Playa is the new addition to Church St after Red Mango vacated the premises (much to my chagrin) - but it's nice to see that this is an equally, if not healthier, option for those with a sweet tooth. Playa Bowl offers juices, smoothies, and bowls with different fruit/veggie (or kale, mostly) bases. Between acai, pitaya and coconut fruit options, I tried both the dragonberry and the nutaya bowls. Although the bowls look small for the $9-$10 price point, with the fruit and granola it is more than filling as an afternoon snack or post-dinner dessert. The ingredients were very fresh and the bowls had an ideal balance of base fruits + additions. Extra toppings can be ordered for another 50 cents each. The ambiance is cute and West Coast-inspired - the typical Pinterest look you'd expect from a 'hip' new place in Montclair. Although some other reviewers believe the price to be reasonable, I still have to laugh at the idea that it's 'reasonable' to pay ten dollars for a bowl of fruit, even in Montclair. Fresh fruit isn't that hard to find, and the assembly line of workers make prep of these bowls a well-oiled process. It's a yummy bowl, believe me, but no way is the price point reasonable. It's expensive. But still, a yummy treat. If you come, know that since its opening the place has been jam packed mostly with high school aged girls that all seem to look alike to me in their leggings and Uggs, making me feel ancient - and making seating in high demand. It was much easier to take it to go and enjoy at home in front of the TV. I will come back as a special treat for myself. Maybe when I finally get my butt off the couch and start that exercise routine I've been saying I would do. P.S. Parking is a pain as this popular place is smack dab in the middle of Montclair's bustling dining/shopping area. I have my husband drop me off to pick up the order while he cruises around the block. Depending on the line at the register, this may take awhile.

    The bananas were underripe and dried. I couldn't eat it. I wish they would have told me and I would have chosen another item on the menu.

    I had the goji berry pataya bowl without coconut and it was tasty. Very light texture (like a flaky icy) and fresh.

My order consists of avocado (which really fits the shake well, not slimy, easy to imbibe, even considering scenting avocado about a day or so after, not a nauseous addition), mint (a medium-strong addition which balances the other ingredients well, stomach and throat soothing, if one will), cranberry juice (a really good carrier for the mixture), spinach (super subtle flavor, though a healthy choice addition), Goji Berry (a healthy choice option, mainly because I don't normally seek the item on a grocery store run), and a scoop of Vegan protein (such a healthful addition after the gym). If not for a sign containing so many super-flavorful-healthy-looking options, I might not even know the juicerie exists. Coming across the sign after a wonderful workout, super ready to healthfully consume well, I decide to check out the establishment. The establishment seems to carry fresh ingredients. There is a seating area outside of the establishment (which is really like a chill kitchen area for staff, think drive-thru window, on foot, on the second floor of an office building). My order is really satisfying, really tasty, and definitely complements well all of that which I healthfully consume well upon arriving to my living quarters. The establishment accepts different forms of payment.

I love the bases they offer and the fact that you can mix and match them.

They have a pretty comprehensive selection and you can customize to your liking. There's also some seating so you can enjoy your bowl right away. Check them out; you will be glad you did!
