Went here after going to the gym and was craving a cold green drink but I will say I was really disappointed. I'll state both pros and cons of this place : Pro: There is Plenty of parking, it is a clean place with cute beach colors/vibe that makes you want to be on a beach enjoying your drink. They have plenty of seating space. They provide a huge variety, they have smoothies and bowls you can choose from and they also have a cooler with already packed juices and protein bars. The staff was relatively friendly, we did not wait too long to get our food. Cons: They have a huge menu with really yummy sounding options but we ordered a couple of the açaí bowls and a smoothie. Every item we got was sooo sugary, it all had this artificial sweetener taste that I came to doubt if they even use any real fruit in their smoothies or bowls. I was even going to get some of the juices to take home and save for the next day but as soon as I turned the bottles around and saw how much sugar it had, I kindly placed it back on the shelf. We ended up throwing away 80% of what we ordered. This place is also relatively pricy, which is why I originally thought maybe they might provide some fresh items. I will unfortunately will not be going there again

I love the acai bowls (the Nutella Bowl with a mix of acai and green base is my fav!), but more recently tried their sweet cream cold brew. This drink is the perfect mid-day pick-me-up. It's not too sweet, smooth, and doesn't give off that bitter taste like regular coffee sometimes does. Staff here are friendly and very efficient. There are a few tables outside and inside. If you want to sit a little further from the store, you could even grab a seat in front of the fountain.

I absolutely love acai bowls. The place was so vibrant and the smoothie bowl was . The fruits were nice, fresh and abundant full. Service was mid, but it's not that important in this kind of place (in my opinion).

My order: Stupid Cupid I loved my smoothie bowl - 5/5. I did not expect to finish my bowl given the size but I surprised myself and finished down to the last drop! Definitely recommend the Stupid Cupid. Another plus to my rating would be the place itself!! I walked in and was shocked! It's so cute and beachy. Definitely would be a nice spot to meet up with someone! Also, it seems very clean which is a huge plus. All fruit seems fresh as well. Prices are a little up there but definitely worth it, especially if you plan on eating the smoothie bowls inside!

Playa bowl is one of my go to for breakfast, lunch or even just a mid day snack. You can never go wrong. There are so many options and variations you can make and choose from you don't ever have to have the same bowl each time. Freshness of the fruit and smoothie bases *chefs kiss*. Want something refreshing and light get you one. Not to mention the portions of these bowl are huge and can be filling if you finish it all

I gotta start this review by saying that this is my first "bowl" place so I have nothing to compare it to. Okay that's out of the way. This place is DEELISH! I did a coconut bowl with granola, strawberries and blueberries and it was excellent. The staff were super friendly and the food came out really quickly. I will 100% be coming back to this place as it seems fairly healthy and fresh. Hopefully the fruit will stay as yummy as we enter the winter months. Try this place out if you're a noob...or a non-noob. Either way, I think you'll find something you'll enjoy.

I have been here a couple times. Only reason I don't go often is because it's a bit expensive. The place is really cute and tropical with real pineapples on tables. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. They greet you as soon as you walk in. I ordered the mango mama bowl (Playa Mango, Playa Pitaya & chia pudding base topped with blueberry flax granola, mango, banana, coconut flakes & almond butter). It is pretty good. I will come back, but not anytime soon :)

Tropical Acai Bowl

This place is tucked right in the Fair Hill shopping center next to the Panera. As soon as you walk-in a big menu is on the left wall. It'll take you some time to get through everything but the staff is super helpful. I got the tropical açaí bowl that had delicious chunks of pineapple and coconut on top of granola. It tasted fresh and the portion was relatively big. Can't wait to come back to try out their other bowls and smoothies.

Playa bowls is always a good option when you want something fresh and healthy! The service here has always been very kind and helpful. The inside of the store is also nicely decorated and there are also tables for outside dining. I like coming here when I want a drink or bowl made with real ingredients, but it is a bit pricey. I think getting a bowl is a better deal if you don't want to pay $8+ for a drink. Overall this place is great to come for a cold treat or refreshing lunch.

Half Pink Flamingo/Pink Pitaya and Stupid Cupid

Finally, I tried Playa Bowls for the first time. They have a lot of options on their menu. It took me a while to decide on what to order. Since it was my first time, the cashier let me taste the pink flamingo and pink pitaya. I ordered a mix of pink flamingo and pink pitaya and a bowl of stupid cupid with the same toppings. I was surprised by the size of the bowl. It has different kinds of fruits, coconut flakes, granola, Nutella, and you can add more at an additional price. The bowl was filling and refreshing in this summer weather. I love that the granola and coconut flakes add crunch to it. The fruits were fresh. The inside of Playa Bowls is pretty! It has cute tropical decorations throughout the store. The bowls I ordered were delicious and healthy, it's just quite pricey though. But I will still come back and try their other bowls. This place is a great addition to Olney!

Tropical Acai Bowl
Casey T.

After having my first acai bowl in Hawaii, I'm always skeptical about the acai bowls I find around Maryland. But compared to what I typically see around here, playa bowls gives more bang for the buck. The fruit was fresh, the acai was refreshing, and the granola was nice and crunchy. They give a large portion and I thought the proportions of the bowl's ingredients were gre! The staff is friendly and the service is speedy. I didn't have to wait long for a Wednesday at around 6. The decorations on the inside are cute and they had real pineapples decorating the tables. It was cute even if one of the fruits was kind of leaking

Tropical and pura vida bowls

Holy macaroni that's delicious!! Fresh fruits on top and the granola is also amazing. Made with real açaí with no fillers

Nutella Acai Bowl
Annabella G.

So good. I got the Nutella Açaí Bowl and I ate the whole thing. Amazing atmosphere and the place is very clean too, it's a cute spot. Would 100% go again

Purchase was as good as I had hoped. I needed some physical assistance due to a mobility issue, and it was readily provided.

Today was the last day we could order birthday cake smoothies in honor of South Block's 15th…read morebirthday, so of course I had to stop in and get one! And because one is never enough, I bought two--one to enjoy today and one to freeze for tomorrow. South Block always has such a casual but vibrant atmosphere that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. The smoothies are always delicious, and my favorite bowl is the Peanut Butter Blast with the Nutella topping. The service is consistently great, the food is delicious, and I love having healthy options that make you feel good. But one of my favorite things about South Block is the positive, community-minded energy. Amir and the entire South Block team are all about community, having fun, and making people feel welcome. You can really feel that when you walk in. Great food, great drinks, great service, and an even better vibe. Happy 15th birthday, South Block!

I had a sudden craving for Orange Fanta last Saturday afternoon. For health reasons, I told myself…read morea cold and refreshing sweet drink would do. After parking at a garage in Pike & Rose, we stopped by South Block to quench my thirst. I have a South Block in my neighborhood and find it overpriced, but I really did need to go. STRAWBERRY MINI - 6.49 I didn't need a whole lot, so I went with the 12 oz. kid size smoothie. This contains guava juice, strawberry, and bananas, which is much less complex than the regular sized 16 oz. adult smoothies. Overall, pretty refreshing and enjoyable. It's not Orange Fanta, but it did the job. Spacious interior but not a whole lot of seating. Definitely more of a grab-and-go while walking around Pike & Rose.

Great little food counter inside Mom's organic Market that sells salads, bowls, juices and baked…read moregoods. They have many vegan and vegetarian options, everything is organic and healthy. Got the vegan black bean quesadilla and mixed berry muffin. At 99 cents each, the muffin is a great price. It looks and tastes homemade, and not as sweet and "cakey" as other commercial bakery muffins. It was moist with sweetness from mostly the blueberries and cranberries (nothing dried, all fresh). Loved it and will buy again. The quesadilla was made to go on a hot skillet. The tortilla was perfectly toasted and crispy. It was stuffed with vegan cheese, black beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and corn. The beans were seasoned well (chipotle) and the vegan cheese and veggies complemented perfectly. Came with also a side portion of spicy crema sauce which added a kick to the dish. Staff was polite, food is great! Will continue supporting these businesses!

Im sorry but the service and portion sizes have gone way down at this location. I've been coming to…read morethis place since it first opened over a decade ago. Back then the food quantity and the service were top notch-great service with a smile and good quantity portion size. Since then, everything has gone downhill and this place is hit or miss depending on who makes your food, not to mention that anything worth having or anything that is not a cheap item has been removed from the menu (ex: hearts of palm, and now even the popular jackfruit tacos!) Only the cheapest ingredients left behind such as beans, chickpeas, onions, cilantro so they can major profit more and more. The menu has become boring to everyone I know with no exciting new items but just the same old and taking away certain items that the customers love. (Other Moms locations I go to switch up their menus with yummy offerings that Ive never seen offered at this location) Their prices have also gone up quite a couple of times since before covid and on top of that their portion sizes have lessened by more than 50% and still they get stingy only at this location when scooping the scoops always shaking the spoon to lessen the portion of each scoop and still finding sneaky ways to raise the prices more or take away anything that might cost more. Ive also noticed they only hire Hispanics now which I don't care but they definitely do not give service with a smile and half the time they don't understand what you are asking for and get rude if you sub or ask for something that might require a change. I am Spanish so of course I understand the language and alot of times they talk bad or whisper to each other right in front of me when you are undecided or make changes to the menu items. In my opinion, a different manager is needed that values customer service as the current manager is rude and does not like when you ask for substitutions and very stingy as well with portion sizes. Back in the day if i wanted half a scoop of one topping and half of another on my tacos it was ok, not anymore. A lot of people who don't come here often rate good as a good lunch spot but when you come here consistency, you start to see the flaws and lack of service,

Cute but simple decor…read more I got the Eggspresso in a small. Wish I had gotten a large but it was also 3 pm and Vietnamese coffee could wake the dead. It was delicious. Not too sweet and tasted more like a custard creme than egg. I couldn't stop drinking it even though I could feel the caffeine coursing through me. They have so many fun drink options, acai bowls, and snacks. The staff were friendly and helpful. The owner even said bye to us on our way out! Fun fact: Currently posting this at 2:30 am, about 11 hours after I got my coffee. Vietnamese coffee is no joke.

When you go on their website to order, it takes you to the Toast Tab app…read more I put through an order for a Coco Mia (cold press sugar cane and fresh coconut water). It has become one of my favorites. You select the size (small or large) and the quantity. After paying, I got an alert that my order was received and being worked on and it gave an estimate, but in the same message, it said I would be informed when my order was ready. Well, that last message never came. I still made my way to the store and decided to give them a few minutes because I thought that maybe since they were busy, they probably had not made my drink yet. Orders came and went and still no alert to me. It was then I decided to check with an employee to see if they had my order. It took them a minute, but then they went in what looked like a cooler or fridge and pulled out my drink. I guess they got so busy, they forgot to inform me on the app that my drink was ready to be picked up. In future, I will only order in person as it seemed much quicker to do it that way instead.
