Aram L.

Came for a refreshing cold bite during the heatwave. Service was friendly - the gentleman working behind the counter was friendly as we requested a few specific details to our acai bowl order. We got two acai bowls and overall found both were good. Came out quite quick as well and they were generous with the toppings. The ambiance was in line with other Playa bowls. If you're looking for a refreshing bite with friendly service, recommend stopping by.

New summer menu  Playa Passion Bowl Tropical Twist Smoothie
Stacy C.

This is one of the larger Playa Bowl location. More seating and has a bathroom. We came to check out the summer menu. Passionfruit being one of my favorite fruits made this an easy choice today. The fruits on the bowl were fresh and sweet just as always at Playa . The Passionfruit base was an absolute treat . Quite refreshing on this hot day. The Tropical Twist Smoothie also a hit. We got coconut protein bites for our hiking trip. They have Watermelon Cold Pressed Juice on the summer menu which we will try next time. Staff at this location is lovely, engaging and polite . Order ahead if you're pressed for time, this is a busy location.

Nutella Acai Bowl

I placed an order to-go through Grubhub and it was ready when I arrived for pickup. The store is well lit with bright colors and smiling faces as I entered. Everything I needed to enjoy my Nutella Açaí Bowl was packaged neatly within a stapled bag. Fresh ingredients. Full of flavor. Crunchy granola. Exactly what I needed for a little energy boost this morning! I would definitely go back!

Acai bowl

The açaí bowl here was pretty good, but I thought it was a tad too sweet for my liking. I usually prefer my açaí bowls to retain a bit of the sourness from the fruits. Service was fast and great, and ambiance was very casual!

Pacific bowl
Marissa L.

I like this location of Playa Bowls a lot. The menu is the same as the others, but the location is very convenient and they have better seating than most. I've been here for both smoothies and bowls, which are made well. If it's your first time at Playa Bowls, my current favorites are the green smoothie (kale, pineapple, banana, coconut milk) and the Pacific bowl (the same green blend topped with granola, banana, strawberries, and almonds), and the seasonal specials are usually good too.

Electric Mermaid Pitaya Bowl and Tide Bowl

We tried Playa bowl for the first time and their açaí bowls were amazing! I had TIDE bowl which comes with Banana base, Kiwi, Pineapple and Mango with honey goji Berry topping. My friend tried the mermaid bowl which comes with Pitaya base, Kiwi, pineapple and Mango with honey and raw coconut. If you want to try more than one base, you can ask the cashier for two kinds which I chose Banana and Green base. Since we went for the first time, when we downloaded their reward app, we received 15% off coupon code. With that coupon, it was around $13 each and the amount was more than enough. They put so much fruits on top which I loved and the base tasted amazing! There are few tables so you can eat in the store. We loved this place so much and we'll definitely come back to try different kinds too!

This is a very cute (Hawaii vibe) healthy smoothie shop right in the busy streets of nyc. I came here this past weekend with my bf and he ordered the açaí smoothie for us the share. It was very good and very refreshing. Also it wasn't super sweet as you may think haha. I would come back here again to try something new :)

Pitaya bowl
Olga S.

My first experience with Playa bowls. I was not sure what to expect but my son wanted ice cream so here we are. Much healthier option for ice cream and he doesn't know any better. We got the pitaya bowl with fresh blueberries and bananas as well as granola, Nutella, coconut flakes and chocolate shavings. Boy was it delicious. We devoured almost the whole thing. Can't wait to try the ones here at home.

I'm seeing the guy touching the screen to receive payments, get cash, and then without changing his gloves he goes back to cut banana and else! Disgusting. He needs some serious training. Where is the supervisor?

Healthy drinks, more on the pricey side, nice vibe and a quick spot to stop by. Cool decor on the inside and you get your drinks quickly.

It was good but my combination was off. I don't think peanut butter mix well with açaí. Nice costumer service. Just little over priced.

Power Acai Bowl
Nina D.

Really great açaí bowls and good coffee! I ordered the power açaí bowl with extra strawberries and it was so refreshing and a perfect mid day pick me up. It's a pretty big portion for the price and I felt full in good way. The açaí base was maybe a tad bit on the sweeter side but the peanut butter drizzle complimented it well. I didn't love the granola though so would recommend substituting the granola. The coffee was also great! The chicory is definitely a unique flavor that I really enjoyed. I ordered the bowl to go and they packed the order well and promptly.

Tried the Dang Smoothie and it was delicious. Mostly tasted like peanut butter and banana--my fave.

Grand Central Market is one of the best places inside the terminal to pick up something genuinely…read moregood before a train. It feels more like a compact gourmet market than a typical station food court, with fresh produce, breads, pastries, cheese, seafood, prepared foods, chocolates, teas and specialty groceries all arranged along one long passage. My best tip is to walk through the entire market before buying anything because each counter has something different. Most merchants also have their own register, so leave extra time when purchasing from several places. The passage can become crowded during the weekday commuter rush, and browsing is much easier between the morning and evening peaks. The Lexington Avenue entrance near 43rd Street is particularly convenient. Prices are higher than at an ordinary supermarket, but the location, presentation and quality make it worthwhile, especially for a train snack, hotel-room food or a small New York gift. I paired some fresh fruit from the market with a PROTABAR I had brought along. The unusual combination of egg whites, dates, hazelnuts and cocoa butter, with 15 grams of protein and no added sugar, made me curious enough to look more closely at the brand. Allow around 20 to 30 minutes to explore properly. Clean, colorful, convenient and much more interesting than grabbing the first snack you see near the platforms.

This time around, I stopped for cheese and picked up two blocks for a fun night in including SwissRaqulet, which looks fantastic. Another stop for some turmeric at the spice store. Then over to the bakery for a loaf of rye with sunflower seed and peasant style sourdough. Well, they're a snuck in a pan su chocolate for the train ride home. Can't forget my daughter who took care of things in my absence so a quick stop to the candy shop for pecan clusters, then a race to the finish on Metro North Hudson line.
