    Lola Green Bowl
    Jazz A.

    You guys I am obsessed with playa bowls ! It's sooooo good!!! They have a couple locations but recently opened up on the Berlin turnpike in Newington and I'm addicted ! Today I grabbed the Lola green bowl for lunch. I was worried it wasn't going to taste good ( because kale is not my favourite ) but I'm trying to eat a littler healthier . And it was amazing !!! Very sweet (not bitter ) the pineapple and mango added a nice sweet flavour and the blueberry granola and coco nut have it that nice crunch . the portions are a good size ( so I ate half for lunch and then ate the rest after work ) ! In the past I also tried the electric mermaid pitaya bowl and it's sooooo good too ! if you are trying to be healthy it's a great option compared to others , however there are still lots of calories and sugar in these bowls .. so be mindful . Overall 10/10 I'm super excited to try all the flavours so far everything I have tried has been amazing !

    Today I went with Green Bowls - Pacific. It contains Kale, Banana Pineapple, Coconut milk topped with Blueberry flax granola, Banana, Strawberry, Sliced Almonds and Chia Seeds. The service was fast and friendly as usual.

    We ordered the mango banana protein bowls with drizzled peanut butter. So delicious! Service was quick and friendly and the store was clean and bright. Def going back

    Was in the Newington area and stopped in for the BOGO Cold Brew as it was National Coffee Day! The newington location offered extra flavors to sweeten the Sweet Cream Cold Brew w today. Service was right on and love this location right off the Berlin Turnpike.

    I love the bowls and the variety and can always find something delish! The service is good and any questions are answered. My only complaint is that I'd REALLY LOVE for the calories and macros to be easy to find and out in the open, because a lot of us are paying attention (and searching for the info online will in line and holding things up gets frustrating and may irritate those behind you if you don't figure it out quickly)! Especially now that there's a Club Pilates two doors down and this is really convenient to run in and grab a nice cold refreshing bowl or smoothie after class. It's always clean, bright and inviting inside! I'm a fan and am glad there's now such a convenient location to pop into!

    Dragonberry Pitaya Bowl with added kiwi
    Jason P.

    I'm a huge fan of Playa Bowls and was thrilled when I heard this one near my home was opening. Playa Bowls is easily one of my favorite national franchises. They've been in our family takeout rotation since they've opened and I've been a few times now. I almost always get the Dragonfruit Pitaya bowl and add Kiwi for the splash of green to the red and blue berries and to the violet frozen pitaya purée. Looks great. Tastes great. You feel great after you eat it. And the store vibes are beacharific. 5 Stars

    Playa Bowls is now open in Newington--boy was this place a fun vibe. I was surprised how spacious the place was with plenty of seats. The tropical feel came through with the bright colors, murals on the walls, and attention to decor and textures. The staff were very welcoming and were enthusiastic explaining their menu. I had never had a smoothie bowl before and I have a few food allergies, the staff took great care of me. The menu is very large with different types of smoothie bowls (different smoothie bases like açaí, mango, pitaya, coconut, green, etc), smoothies, juices and even iced coffee. I opted for the Mucho Mango bowl that had mango smoothie topped with blueberry flax granola, pineapple, banana, coconut flakes, and honey. The color was so vibrant (yellow is my favorite color, so extra bonus points for that). It cost $12, packed with a lot of fresh and perfectly ripped fruit. It was very filling, but I managed to finish it as it was too good to waste. The slices of bananas were my favorite part. I loved that it was cold, refreshing, light, and a great dessert alternative to treat yourself. My bowl's lid had an allergy sticker labeled on it too. I can see why people like these bowls so much, I think I'm hooked! Luckily, I'm in the area regularly so I can't wait to eat my way through the menu. I am eyeing the Matcha smoothie next.

    So hot outside, I was craving something refreshing and fast. This place came to mind and I know the service is always good and friendly. The ambiance was amazing, with music in the background and a clean environment. I made my own bowl and I loved it! Highly recommended!!

    Pink Power Pitaya Bowl
    Kathy W.

    I downloaded the app while eagerly awaiting the opening of this location. As a reward, I received a coupon for 15% off my order. Today I put that to good use and ordered a pink power pitaya bowl. Never tried pitaya before, so what better time? That said, not sure I would order it again. Is it supposed to be frozen? The granola topping seemed to have a lot of sugar in it. But the bananas were sliced and arranged perfectly. The to-go lid wasn't even remotely secure, so it's a good thing I was heading straight home. Maybe next time I'll eat at Playa Bowls. The indoor space is cute with a relaxed, beachy vibe, upbeat music, and flooded with natural light. The menu is overwhelmingly huge and while this will probably be just an occasional treat for me, I can see it being very successful. Welcome to Newington!

    Margarita S.

    Super delicious! I got the açaí bowl, can't remember the name of it but it's one of the generic ones. So delicious and filling! I couldn't even finish the strawberries. I love how there's so much fruit and the taste is great. I am curious if you can add protein to the bowls as I saw they had protein powder? If so, I'll have to return for that!

    Sally A.

    The new açaí bowl spot in town is a total gem! Their menu changes with the seasons, so there's always something fresh and new to try. The bowls are packed with vibrant, super fresh ingredients, and the flavors are perfectly balanced--just the right mix of sweet and tart. Plus, the toppings like fresh fruit and crunchy granola make each bite so satisfying. It's the perfect place to grab a healthy snack or light meal. Definitely worth checking out if you're craving something fresh and delicious! The only reason I'm giving g it four stars is bc it's not a food I would frequently pursue. But has a great following and respected brand.

    Never not enjoyed my bowl and have been pretty good!! And the fruit and toppings put on the bowl taste very fresh always

    Gingerbread smoothie
    Allison C.

    I know I can always count on Playa Bowls for a good smoothie bowl! This new location is beautiful, and I absolutely loved their winter specials. The crushed peppermint on top of an açaí bowl was a perfect winter treat. My husband enjoyed his gingerbread smoothie and protein bites too! The girls were nice that worked there and prepared everything quickly.

He is a tough critic when we go to other smoothie places. I don't usually opt into getting a smoothie myself because of my strawberry allergy. Most of their smoothies have strawberry in them. This location in Newington, went above and beyond. The staff were able to swap out the strawberries for another fruit! They were so kind and helpful. I got the Pineapple Surf, replacing the strawberries for raspberries! I don't know if all Smoothie King locations would make this accommodation and if you are highly allergic to something, take precaution for chances or cross contamination. It was just nice to enjoy a smoothie! We return to this location often because we are always in the area. Last time, I learned they had a special menu that the shop put together. The smoothies were dessert themed and I got Blueberry Cobbler--which didn't have any strawberry. This Smoothie King's service is always fast, never too busy even in summer, the shop is cool, and very clean. Without a doubt, we will be back soon since we are always in the area. It's been a must this summer.

The soup dumplings were very good but hard to eat with the chopsticks and plastic spoon. We ordered two noodle dishes to try. The pork noodles were my favorite. It came with minced pork and delicious wide hand pulled noodles. The sauce was a perfect amount of flavor with some spice. The cold noodles were not my favorite noodle. They tasted a bit more jelly like. It came with tofu which surprisingly was the best tofu I have had. It came with sliced cucumber which was refreshing. The pork noodle was definitely a must. The owner was lovely and came over to talk to us multiple times. I am bummed I waited so long to try it and will have to order again before they move.
