Booster Bowl (~$12)
Aya E.

Ordered: Booster Bowl (~$12): booster blend (banana, peanut butter, vanilla protein, flax oil, spirulina, cashew milk) topped with granola, banana, chia seeds, and peanut butter Aya's take: I had a 50% bowl coupon (making this bowl ~$6) and figured I'd stop by to redeem it after a workout. It's pretty nutritious, flavorful, and the vanilla whey protein makes this super filling. This location is spacious but maybe not the best place to work/study (the music was blasting). I'm a big fan of Playa Bowls' variety and ability to customized any bowl to your liking. Check them out!

Fresh and delicious! Playa bowls is perfect for a refreshing lunch, especially on a super hot day. They have so many locations around NJ, but somehow I haven't had a playa bowl until now. It's safe to say that I'll definitely be a return customer! The menu is way larger than I expected, and in addition to acai / pitaya bowls you can also find lots of smoothies, oatmeals, banana bowls, juices and more. Everything sounded so good that it was honestly hard to choose. I tried a pura vida bowl which came topped with sooo many fresh blueberries and strawberries. I need to know where they get their strawberries because I haven't been able to find berries this ripe anywhere! The bowl also has granola and honey, and I added peanut butter for some extra flavor which was a very good call. The acai is cold and smooth and the crunchy granola and berries are the perfect compliment. Sweeten everything up with honey and pb and this really is pure perfection. This will continue to be a go-to, especially while it's so hot out!

I don't know what happened to this place over the last two months. The quality has went down significantly. The staff does not fill up the bowls fully or provide the amount of toppings. The previous crew used to be spot on, replicating the bowls from the menu. The bowls you order today look nothing like the menu. The taste of the açaí is off as well. Not planning on going back soon.

I love Playa Bowl. But the owners need to instruct their staff to not mop the floors until the shop closes. We arrived 22 minutes before closing on a Saturday night. A female worker was mopping the floor with a smelly cleaner. Made me want to vomit. Well maybe not vomit but it wasn't a pleasant experience. The mopper while talking on the phone with one hand and mopping with the other, asked me to pick a spot and stay there because she was mopping. I was insulted but kept quiet. Then my partner receives her bowl and it was melted and over flowing. See photo When my partner said she didn't want it, a very stressful moment happened. The mopper said she wasn't paid enough to care. I told her she was very disrespectful and to have her father call me so I could tell him that his daughter was acting out. She ignored me. The whole event escalated to the point where my partner asked for the name of the counter worker but the worker refused. So I took my camera out and as I did, she turned around with her back to camera. The male cashier worker told us it was 9pm and we had to get out. I video taped it. If Playa Bowl corporate would like a copy,, feel free to contact me. Ps other people came in that where the groups friends. The workers seemed to give them free Playa Bowls which is not my concern, but the group seemed to be more concerned with them than us. Not good. Ever hear of the term "Silver Spoon teens"?

I ordered via Door Dash. Thus, this review is from a take out, online order perspective. It was easy to find Playa Bowl via the healthy order options. I selected one of the two 'special bowls' of Cupid Strawberry on the app. It was delivered correctly and easily in a cool 20 minutes from hitting send to on thanking the delivery driver. My bowl was huge! The strawberries were fresh and tasty. The açaí base was frozen and the chocolate bibs were plentiful. For $13, this was a great healthy lunch on a hot summer day. I am eager to try another bowl in the near future as there are about 15-20 options on the menu. The packaging was perfect will plenty of napkins! And includes utensils too. I am very pleased with Door Dash and the options that Playa Bowl provides for lunch. Why not try it today too?

Pacific green bowl
Cheryl T.

I ordered a Pacific Green Bowl. Green bowls have a blend with Kale, Pineapple, Banana, Coconut Milk. Mine was topped with granola, strawberry, banana, shaved almonds, chia seeds, and honey. I thought this bowl was really good! Extremely refreshing and very fresh. If i have an opportunity to return to Morristown, I'd love to try other bowls. When we ordered on a Saturday morning around 11, surprisingly the bowls were prepared very quickly.

Nutella Acai Bowl
Nadia D.

FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING. I am so obsessed with açaí bowls now! This tasted amazing. It was so fresh and VERY filling...almost too filling lol. The girls who worked there are so nice. My bowl was prepared to perfection. Street parking was a bit of a challenge but not too difficult. I just hate parallel parking lol. Overall my experience for both taste and quality were very positive and I will come again!

Sharp piece of plastic
Asia G.

I went to Playa Bowl last week and found the attached embedded inside of the frozen Nutella and granola which I ate around until the end. I called and let them know and received a refund, however I let the girl (Ni'Cole) know that I wanted her manager to call me so that I could email her the pictures so she was aware of how dangerous this negligence could've been to not only me but a child. I have yet to receive a call and also reached out to the owner of the Playa Bowls original location. Silence. Since I have not heard back I will make you all aware. Be careful. It's obviously a broken cap to most likely the squeeze bottles that they use for the Nutella. I'm sure it was senselessly banged on the table to get the Nutella out. But wow, just wow. Only gave two stars because of the refund.

Coco craze, Electric mermaid, and the Power açaí
Kimmy L.

This was a while ago in July before the pandemic, but here's my review anyways.. Pictured are the Coco craze, Electric mermaid, and the Power açaí. Coco craze was what I got and there may have been a bit too much peanut butter for me, but was still overall good. In general, I thought this place was great! The workers were so nice. It was a super hot day and they had out a plate of free watermelon! Super nice. This place was also really cute. Lots of space to sit and chill at.

I started going Playa Bowls in Belmar, but moved back up north. Each location is very comparable to each other. I have no complaints and the Nutella Bowl is delicious!

I have been recently feeling some gluten sensitivity and I am lactose intolerant, so was really looking for new vegan and gluten free places around town to stock up on diff gluten and vegan fares. Stumbled upon this place and it has some great alternatives you won't find in other stores. First off the place is kind of hard to find bc it doesn't have an entrance/store-front on the main Street (South St.). The entrance is in the back of the side street on the closest corner and the store is tucked away into the very corner edge spot in the back. The store is not that large, but they have a great selection of gluten-free pastas, chips, cookies/crackers, tasty frozen vegan chicken, etc. they have a wonderful vegan cheese assortment with some of the best tasting vegan cheeses I've ever tried! They also have fresh pastries (both gluten & non-gluten and dairy & non dairy) made daily. I will definitely be coming back here regularly!

As usual, dinner here was a solid, five-star experience. The associate behind the counter delivered top-notch service. They ensured our order was sent to the kitchen accurately, took the time to explain how to earn and redeem points through the Tacoria app, and even brought our food right out to our sidewalk table when it was ready. As for the food, it completely hit the spot. I had a pair of the Pork Al Pastor Tacos ($5.60 ea.) which were marinated in a perfect blend of spices and topped with finely diced pineapple. The two tacos were just the right portion size to satiate my hunger without feeling stuffed. My dining companion ordered the Burrito Box ($11), a great low-carb, tortilla-less dish that comes loaded with your choice of protein served over rice, black beans, cheese, salsa, and fresh pico de gallo, which she absolutely enjoyed. The outdoor seating and consistently great service remind me why this place is a local favorite. We will definitely be back! PRO TIP #1: Snag one of the sidewalk tables if you want to enjoy a beautiful summer evening and people-watch in downtown Morristown. PRO TIP #2: Sign up for the Tacoria app to earn points based on your spending that can be redeemed for free food and beverages. You will even score a free serving of tortilla chips and guacamole just for signing up!

It had a slight kick, but as someone who doesn't tolerate spiciness very well, it was just enough for me.

To quote Arnold Schwarzenegger, "I'll be back!"

From the moment we stepped inside, the inviting, meticulously designed decor set a high bar for the evening. We were quickly seated and paired with Olivia, a standout server whose genuine warmth and personable approach immediately made us feel at home. We started with the Tuna Tartare, a beautifully presented appetizer where the vibrant, fresh ingredients harmonized perfectly on the plate. For the main course, the kitchen continued to impress. The NJ Corn Ravioli was flat-out incredible--delicate, rich, and expertly executed. My Glazed Prime Short Rib was equally impressive, showing all the hallmarks of a great dish with deeply integrated, comforting flavors. The sides were a bit more pedestrian; while the wild mushrooms and truffle fries were perfectly fine, they lacked the memorable punch of the main courses and felt slightly underwhelming by comparison. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the timing of our visit. Arriving just before the peak dinner rush offered a glimpse into a highly disciplined back-of-house operation. Watching the team meticulously inspect glassware, adjust table alignments, and prep the bar revealed a staff that takes immense pride in the details. Agricola delivers a genuinely polished dining experience from start to finish, and we will absolutely be returning.

As a vegetarian I don't really have interesting options. I saw the NJ corn ravioli on the menu and had to try it. I loved it. It was different, tasted great and wasn't heavy. I'm one of those people who do not like an over abundance of food in front of me. This was a perfect portion. My meat eating boyfriend got the yellowfin tuna tartare appetizer and said it was good. He also got the glazed short rib which was so tender no knife needed. Nothing was left on his plate. All and all it was a great meal and we both really liked the place. It is part of the same group as Roots Steakhouse.

We were very excited to discover Malay nearby in Morristown, and we had to check it out. We ordered the Malay Prawn Mee, Chicken Sambal, and the Roti Canai. Roti Canai is one of my favorite Malaysian dishes, but this didn't quite hit the spot. The roti wasn't soft and dip-able. It was kind of flaky and kept falling apart every time I tried to use it to scoop up some curry. The curry was a little watery and not all that flavorful, and I defintiely would've appreciated more than just one or two chunks of potato and chicken. The chicken sambal and soup were additionally a bit disappointing. The chicken sambal was just okay for me, and the flavor didn't really blow me out of the water. It almost felt like something I could make at home. The soup similarly did not have a particularly rich or flavorful broth, and left me a little dissapointed. Another thing that really influences my review is how cold it was inside. It got even colder when people opened and closed the door. It was so cold that our food didn't seem hot. I think the cold air cooled it off instantly and we were left eating room temperature chicken and soup.
