    Pura Vida Acai Bowl
    Christian V.

    Awesome acai bowls in a lively part of DE near university. Can't go wrong with the standard selections, my favorite is Pura Vida with kiwi instead of strawberries and staff are very accomodating. Watch out for Natalie, however, she mentioned the bathroom is not available when it is. Other than the odd bit of misinformation, we love Playa Bowls and highly recommend.

    Being my third Playa Bowls that I've been to, I knew what I was going to expect when I walked into the store. The usual tropical vibe filled the atmosphere with chill music on this crisp morning. East Main St was slowing coming alive from the class ending their session and everyone scrambling from the local University of Delaware campus for lunch. I did decide to grab a green power bowl; which is something different than the typical acai bowl that I order. The Green Pacific Power bowl was packed with bold flavor. The tart strawberry was a contrast from the sweet banana, while the shaved almonds and chia seeds added a crunch to it all. The location can get busy so either plan for a time that the students and local population is busy or order ahead with their app. You might be tempted to sit by the high chairs and people watch on the sidewalk or head to the next stop for food or drink on East Main St. This spot is open year round and with a Playa Bowl for breakfast; it'll never go out of season.

    New Playa Bowls that opened on Main Street. Good location- easy access. No wait On street metered parking. Good menu. Today I got the Pumpkin Pie Smoothie. It did not look like the picture- I think they forgot the pumpkin butter. Tastes good but set me back $9.99 for the small- ouch. I'll def come back again as they had a lot of items on the menu that look too good not to try. Also love that they use cups made from plants that are compostable.

    I love love love Playa Bowls and, despite it being cold, stopped in a few weeks ago. The cashiers were so sweet, the bowl looked perfect, and there was a bangin' TSwift playlist running. Great vibes every time!

    Tried Playa Bowls for the first time today and LOVED IT! First off the establishment location (Main Street, Newark) is cool so it's surrounded by a lot of other great places. Once inside it was very bright and airy..kind of a beach scene. I was happy that is was so clean inside seeing as it's located close to a college campus. There are a lot of choices when it comes to the bowls that are available not to mention if you can decide, you get to build your own...that was my favorite part. I created a half kale and half açaí base bowl with strawberries, mangoes, & pineapples. Finished it off with a honey drizzle ($10)...& BABYYYY it was everything! I wasn't sure I was going to like it seeing as I'm funny with too many textures in my foods but I had not one complaint after that first bite. The staff were great in helping me decide on what to get. Allowed me to taste test each base of my choice before I committed to something and answered any question I asked and I had plenty, lol. I'm afraid this is going to be my addiction during the summer so I might as well get my pockets ready! @kicknitwithki (IG)

    Where's the base and fruit?

    DISAPPOINTING ... I might need to rethink my one-a-day Playa Bowl. Purchased six recently and five of my Playa Bowls were skimpy ... I left asking "Where's the base and where's the fruit? I'm used to having my bowls filled to the brim, because they are not cheap. I noticed when they were being made, the young lady missed the bowl and the base fell on the scale instead of inside the bowl Nevertheless, I could shake the fruit around inside of the bowl with the lid on. Moreover, there were big air holes in all five bowls. I just want what I am paying for I am not purchasing air. Check out my pictures. I hope I can share my video. This took place at their Newark DE store.

    Supposed to be Number 3 Oatmeal Bowl

    Terrible presentation and quality of food. Service was fine. Ambiance was fine just empty.

    This was my first time trying an acai bowl, so take this review with a grain of salt. I ordered the Nutella one and got half acai and half coconut - and added blueberries. At first I was pleasantly surprised as I tasted mostly the coconut flakes and the Nutella. Quickly, I was discouraged as I realized acai bowls weren't really my thing. The one complaint I do have is the way the bowl is laid out, you have to work to disperse everything correctly. Eventually I just ended up with the acai and a little bit of fruit with no flakes of coconut and no Nutella. The atmosphere here felt appropriate and it was very clean. There was also outside seating which we took advantage of.

    I've been on the hunt for playa bowls without almond milk! And this place is amazing! I got the pure vida bowl and omg it's soooo good! I actually put it In my freezer when I got home and ate the rest that night!! I will be back again! They have cute playa bowl stickers and stamp cards for a free item. #gobowlsdeep .... I did!! Haha

    Trestles with no banana
    Erica R.

    never had an açaí bowl before this weekend and ended up going saturday AND sunday bc they were so good! you can get a regular sized bowl or a half size for half the price. I just got the half size because I wasn't super hungry. they were both really good though and I would recommend the trestles for something sweeter/chocolately or the nosara for something more fruity and vanilla. the honey they drizzle on top and granola are soooo good! will definitely be back

    The Green Smoothie
    Tuba H.

    Oatmeal was amazing ! I would 100 percent order the oatmeal again great for breakfast! The green smoothie was alright .... I definitely had other juices/smoothie which are better.

    Half açaí bowl, half banana bowl!
    Sarah V.

    RECOMMEND! A huge selection of bowls and smoothies with fresh ingredients and friendly service. I couldn't make up my mind so I got a combo bowl with half açaí and half banana bowl. First time having a banana bowl and I must say that I LOVED it. So delicious.

    Michelle T.

    I crave these daily Huge (almost overwhelming) menu. If it's too much, you can just skip it and totally customize your bowl, even mixing different bases to figure out what you like. Really cute beachy vibe inside. They have discounts on Tuesdays and a punch card to earn free bowls. Wish I had one closer to my house!

    Half Kale/Half Pitaya base, topped with strawberries, bananas, and blueberries, drizzled with almond butter.

    The açaí bowl with blueberries and bananas was delicious. The college kids working there are so sweet.

    The BEST bowls we've ever had! My husband loved his banana based bowl! Vegan options are a plus. The place is beautifully decorated as well!

    Went there for the first time yesterday. The ambiance is light and cheery. The person at the…read morecounter was welcoming and very patient. Lol. It took us a long time to order because there were so many things that looked amazing. A regular customer highly recommended the chicken Caesar salad. We gave in to our cravings and ended up trying the bacun mushroom Swiss burger, the save the ocean fish sandwich, the daily deluxe chicken sandwich and the island breeze smoothie. We totally enjoyed everything and would def have them again. The fish and chicken tasted like fish and chicken. Haha. The burger did not taste exactly like meat but had a meat-like texture and was still a tasty burger that I will order again. The buns and veggies were very fresh, the cheese on the burger was melty and delicious and the sauces/aiolis were perfect. My only tiny ding would be that the fries portion should be larger for the price. But I'll still give them a '5' and we will go back to try the salad, the cheesesteak sandwich, and maybe a couple of their tempting baked goods. Just FYI, there was another group of first-timers that came in right behind us (vegans and non-vegans). They loved their food, too!

    I visited this place for the first time today. I asked the nice person behind the counter what was…read morerecommended. She said the Santa Fe chicken. I ordered it- it was pretty good, but I would not get it again. If I was in the area, I probably would try this restaurant again and order a hamburger. The restaurant was clean.
