Tide Bowl - banana blend base with granola, pineapple, kiwi, mango, honey, bee pollen and goji berries
Lisa R.

Playa Bowls is one of the more well-known establishments to grab an açaí bowl but I've never been there until today. I see them all over town. Other places I've been to for açaí bowls never really "wowed" me. My favorite thing about Playa is their MASSIVE menu. There are so many options to choose from; it can actually get a little overwhelming to decide. Nonetheless, I love banana so naturally I chose a bowl with a banana base. It was called the Tide Bowl. Highly recommend, especially with bee pollen as the topping and the mixed fruit on top. Simply delightful. The inside is colorful, pleasant and cheery. The music choices were very good, too. A good throwback playlist from the early 2000's. I was vibing! Portion sizes are great for the price of each bowl. I'll be back again on another warm day!

So here's an update to my initial review.. I've been a big fan of playa bowls for a while now, and they usually knock it out of the park. But my last visit was kind of a bummer. The fruit in my bowl looked old, the granola was stale, and there were some big ice chunks in the açaí. It just wasn't up to their usual awesome standard. Not to mention, their bowls are pretty expensive and I'm a student and I usually get playa bowls as a treat for myself so I was pretty sad when I saw my bowl and kicked myself for spending so much. I'm hoping this was just a fluke because I really love this place.

They finally have a good working AC... and as usual, the Mucho Mango is the way to go... it steals the show. It's cool in there, amazing artwork, and very quiet. The staff are very respectful and fast with the order.

first time visiting this well-known chain! i stopped by on a hot summer day for a refreshing drink and got the pink pitaya smoothie. the smoothie was honestly extremely mediocre, it was terribly sweet and tasted artificial. i found the drink hard to finish, and i definitely would not order it again. the store itself was colorful and well-decorated. not particularly clean, but not filthy either. the staff were fine, not particularly nice or friendly, but they did their jobs. i don't have any plans to come back, but i would be open to trying another smoothie or a bowl if the occasion arises.

Great smoothies- but what kind of business makes their employees work indoors without AC during the summer? Seems unsanitary.

They were making fun of an elderly man who's card declined. The food is great, the people, not so much.

Poke Bros - The duke. - pretty good. Light, refreshing considering. Little too much rice and could use more of the fish.

I stopped in today for a quick lunch based on the raving reviews. The interior is small but has…read moredecent seatings and was clean. Service was quick and polite. However, the food left a lot to be desired. I got the Maui bowl with salmon and tuna. As I watched the older gentleman assemble the food I noticed that the size of the fish was tiny, like very tiny cubes and I've never encountered that at any other poke establishments. I thought maybe he was going to do two scoops of each fish to make up for the size but I was wrong. He did one small scoop of the tuna and then the salmon, but I saw that the scoop wasn't fully emptied before he put it back, so I got half of a scoop basically. Then they proceeded to drown the bowl in a spicy mayo sauce. I honestly can't even tell you if the food tasted fresh or what the marinate in the marinated tuna tasted like and nor can I tell you the texture of the fish because the cubes are that small, and on top of that, you can't taste anything through the thick sauce. For $16 something dollars it is almost criminal for a small lettuce bowl with a few scrap pieces of fish. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place.

I like Poke Bros. We have been to this location several times for lunch. The staff is very friendly…read moreand helpful. They have a loyalty card and after 10 bowls we received a free one. I have tried four or five bowls all from the menu with both cooked and uncooked proteins. My wife always creates her own bowls. We both like the half salad half base with brown rice. The sauces have been good and I always feel like I have eaten something healthy and flavorful. We have always dined in and the space is clean and bright.
