    Pura Vida half Açaí half Coconut Bowl
    Mimi W.

    I've passed by many times, but first time to try and stepping in felt like I was transported to a beach town or Hawaii... I liked the vibe and the vibrant chalkboard menu with the huge selection! Service was standard, wasn't too busy and didn't wait too long. The fruits were fresh and I was able to get the Pura Vida Açaí bowl with half coconut. I liked the taste, but as another review mentioned, it was melty and runny even though I was eating it within 5 minutes of getting the order. I got it as breakfast, but was still hungry after. For $12 a bowl, the value wasn't there for me, but maybe that's just all açaí bowls.

    Pura Vida Acai Bowl

    Got a fruit bowl this morning and it was amazing. I love Playa Bowls because of the bowls. I just love a good fruit mix. I'm basic though so I always get the same thing lol. I get the Pura Vida Açaí bowl with extra honey. It's a combo of açaí base, granola, strawberries, blueberries, and honey. Best combo ever! There were two young men that helped me today and they were awesome and quick to make my bowl. I was in & out. The place was clean and they had good music playing. I'll definitely be back because these bowls are delicious! Stop by when you get a chance!

    Purse Vita Bowls Best thing in town! Enjoy something like this after a workout ‍ and feel better about you.

    So Today Isabella was the one to try and turn my day around. I like the Puravita it was filled with fruit, only thing the frozen Açaí is getting lower Ever week. Now they want you to pay to get an extra bowl? Why if you want it filled up to the neck of the bowl? Wont even allow you to pay extra on the side? Sounds kinda greedy to me? Don't spoil a good thing FOLKS! I love this place but hate when things change? Who has $25 for two bowls die to them weighing what they put in your bowl now? I'm just sayin? And brought a guest, at least he liked his Green smoothie. Kinda let me down again same thing happened in Kensington? 2 visits in one week? $50 dollars later and CANT say I was to happy. Iman S.

    Saw Playa Bowls on the last few visits to Cabin John Village and finally decided to give it a try. First ... SO MANY CHOICES ... given Covid times when the requirement is to get in, order, and get out pronto, recommend you go onto their website beforehand to peruse the menu (because trying to decide what you want standing inside will take way too long!) Got the Pura Vida acai bowl, and it was delicious. Honestly, while I didn't need the extra calories of the honey drizzle, it was super tasty. Now I just have to make sure I don't make this a daily trip .

    Chia Tella Bowl
    Cecilia A.

    This place is heaven on earth. I love the beach ambiance, the team behind the counter is always friendly and provide a true teamwork vibe. And I have yet to order a Playa bowl that is less than delicious. I'm a needy customer always asking their recommendations as menu options abound! The staff is always friendly, informative, and patient with my many questions. Currently having the Chia Tella Bowl and wow, I has an errand to run and was going to scarf if down but instead, took a seat, the errand can wait, this deserves to be enjoyed to the fullest!

    Nutella acai
    Abegail A.

    I've been to Playa Bowls twice now gor breakfast and stuck with the acai base on both occasions. I preferred the nutella bowl over the pura vida. The pura vida came with an acai base topped with granola, strawberries, blueberries and honey. I found half my bowl was drenched in honey, which made that side way too sweet for my liking. The nutella bowl also came with an acai base, but was topped with granola, bananas, strawberries, coconut flakes, and Nutella. I like how the Nutella was drizzled and spread all over the bowl. The coconut flakes added an additional crunch. Fruit toppings for both bowls were fresh. They both also came with just the right amount of granola. The bowl is definitely a good size and price is decent. Playa Bowls is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area and looking for a healthier meal option.

    Soothing ocean views at the back tables.

    Young, trendy, and VSCO girl approved are my first impressions of Playa Bowls. The people who work there couldn't be nicer. They explained to me that each bowl is built on one of two basis, one is green and a little less sweet, and the other is purple and taste a little fruitier. Then, there are hundreds of toppings and combinations to choose from. Thanks Abigail, after reading your review, I went for the Nutella and coconut drizzle on my bowl. It also had strawberries, granola, and bananas. The base reminds me of a more icy frozen yogurt. But, they are quick to explain that these bowls do not have any milk in their base. It was delicious, but at the price of $12.00 a bowl, you have to decide is it worth it? As a healthy alternative, I would make an exception every once in a while. But, that is a lot to pay for a bowl. The restaurant itself is cute with a tropical theme. So, ask yourself, are you a playa? My response would be, on occasion....: )

    Electric mermaid with extra toppings
    Christine Y.

    Tried Playa Bowls for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! I got the electric mermaid with pitaya base, topped with mango, kiwi, pineapple, granola, and coconut flakes. I had no idea what the size the bowl would look like (ordered pick up online), so I decided to add extra toppings in case the bowl was too small. My bowl with extra topping was the perfect portion, and came out to be around $15. Overall I thought the bowl was very tasty! The fruits were fresh and the bowl wasn't overly sweet. I added chia seeds as an extra topping and it added a nice crunch. I actually really liked the coconut flakes too, tasted better than the kind I've had before. Overall positive experience and would try again. However, the high price point is what would deter me from getting it on a regular basis. The staff was friendly and the place wasn't too busy on a Sunday morning.

    Pura Vida Acai Bowl (half and half)
    Andy Y.

    Nothing beats an açaí bowl on a nice chilly day. And even better, this place offers the option to do a combination of bases. We both decided on the açaí and chia base. Very nice to enjoy a bite of açaí and then a bite of chia...or both together! Fun little atmosphere with friendly and fast service. Portions are just the right amount. We will be back. Enjoy!

    Nutella Acai Bowl
    Sabrina P.

    This place is AMAZING! I wanted to try açaí bowls since they have tons of nutrition and of course, very trendy. My best friend took me here and I was blown off by the interior already. Inside is very tropical, Hawaii surf shop type vibes with TONS of options on the menu. It took me quite a while to decide what to order but I went with Nutella- per recommendation of my friend. It was creamy, delicious, and soft. I'm excited to come back and try their other bowls! While it is super delicious, it does run quite expensive at $12/bowl. I'd say it would be a nice treat here and there. Staff were super quick and friendly! I got my bowl as soon as I was done paying! I would definitely recommend you to try :)

    Electric Mermaid Pitaya Bowl w/ added blueberries and bananas :)
    Amy S.

    Interior is very thoughtfully designed and matches the vibes a smoothie place should have. Staff is just as vibrant as the space and super kind & respectful. My bowl was amaaaaaazing and I honestly wouldn't mind the 40 minute drive back here for it.

    Nutella Acai Bowl
    Aman G.

    I ordered a smoothie bowl through Uber eats. The bowl did not melt and the delivery was quick. Overall I would recommend Playa Bowls, but the Nutella Acai Bowl was a bit TOO sweet for me.

    Bittu A.

    This was my first time going to The Playa Bowls and it did not disappoint in anyway. For the location is great right off the Highway, the staff was super friendly and Courteous, they offered great advice as I am still a novice to this world of Bowls.; ) they offered me samples and lead me in a direction to make my own bowl so I could try diffrent option in a bowl and it was the best idea. They were fast and explained how I could receive 15% my next visit. I truly enjoyed the freshness of the bowl it was so tasty and refreshing, the granola was very flavorful and the overall experience thas 5 star. I will definitely return with my friends
