This is a must go to healthy spot. Fresh ingredients. Great recipes. Fun atmosphere. We went twice in 4 days.

I've been to Playa Bowls a few times now and there's a lot of hype about this place. They are best known for their açaí bowls but also offer other bases such as mango, banana, and pitya. Bases are then topped with a variety of different toppings, including granola and fruit. I've tried two different bowls as well as smoothie. In trying to açaí base and mango base, I preferred the mango but I had gotten one with Nutella on it, which wasn't the best flavor combo to me. Their granola is also really hard/crunchy, so I thought I'd try a smoothie. I had gotten the Aloha which was just alright, not very flavorful. Overall, if you're a fan of açaí bowls, give them a shot. Pricey but pretty in line with other places that offer similar menu items.

So pretty

Love Playa Bowls! Went there again today for to go bowls and we all enjoyed very much, great and friendly service when we placed our order, bowls came out great except for the blueberries on mine but I enjoyed them anyway and as always nice ambient music and clean place.

First time!

So happy to have found this spot due to them having Goji berries, most açaí bowl spots out here do not have goji berries on their menu & they add such a good touch to the bowls. I did a to go order & it wasn't ready due to it not printing out but the staff was quick to make the order & it was so yummy, can't wait to be back to try another bowl I ordered the Pura Vida and removed the blue berries and got kiwi & banana instead. The decor and music are a vibe. If you're looking for something refreshing this is it. They also have outdoor seating

Stupid Cupid- Special Bowl ! Absolutely delish

Such a great experience trying Playa Bowls. The first time I visited a few months ago, Jane helped my kids and I taste test which base I wanted for our bowl. She was patient and engaging. She offered my kids stickers while I picked out something from their extensive menu. I went back to visit yesterday and Jane was there again. She greets every customer with a smile and this prompted me to remember to write a review. She helped me once again to pick the right bowl for me. A+ service! I'll be back!

Costa- Banana Bowl
Shonci H.

We got the Banana Costa bowl and the Pura Vida Açaí bowl, and we absolutely loved them! The girls who worked there were very nice. The bowls were made quickly, we didn't have to wait long at all. And the decor was super cute!

Something before the next soccer game

The amount of options is great! The cashier was super helpful and friendly with our first time questions. It was nice and cool inside and seemed like we arrived at the perfect time because the line got long quick. Thankfully service was fast! So happy this place is here, it's a perfect healthy meal during soccer games, it's a great location with plenty of seating. We enjoyed the Nutella bowl, sub bananas for pineapple. Looking forward to trying a different bowl type!

Nica- Banana Bowl
Amie T.

Love this local spot! It's a great place for a sweet, fresh meal. Awesome for breakfast or to curve a sweet craving. I also really enjoy their pressed juice selection.

Electric Mermaid

Not sure why the address says Gainesville, but I stopped in the Queen Creek location after a hike today for the first time. It's so bright and tropical vibes abound. The menu is overwhelming not ever having been here before, so I asked the employee at the counter what their favorite base was and they said pitaya (like a dragonfruit). I got the electric mermaid. It was made quickly and looked so beautiful and appetizing. I loved the consistency of the base, the tropical flavors, and the bonus layer of granola adding a list crisp to the bowl. I would probably pick one with some protein next time as this felt like a lot of sugar, but it was still delicious!! Nice for an occasional treat, especially after a long hike!

Amazing place !!! Always have great cushomer service .the vibes are emaculate and the Bowls are always delicious . The best acai in town :)

This was my first time coming into Playa Bowls. The inside is so cute. The cashier was okay not rude or anything just not overly welcoming when we walked in. However when we started asking questions about the menu very nice and explained the bowls I had in question. Several people inside but not a long wait at all. When getting our order the staff very friendly and accommodating. We needed an empty bowl for our little ones to share. I ordered the Nica bowl and my base was made with bananas. I loved the toppings and the flavors went really well with it. The base wasn't bad at all just a little overpowering for me. I'll add maybe some peanut butter to the base. We really enjoyed it and will definitely be back. I'm thinking of trying one of their oatmeal bowls next time.

Jordyn G.

Definitely one of the best açaí bowl places in AZ in my opinion. So many options from oatmeal bowls, açaí bowls, banana bowls, smoothies (yes there's protein options), coconut bowls, etc!

Bethany A.

This place is so adorable! I love that they are island themed AND play island reggae. (Most "Hawaiian" themed places don't play island music) Their bowls are pretty good. My daughter got a smoothie and it was ok. The employees are so friendly and willing to give their recommendations! (You may need it! The menu is overwhelming lol)

The employee was very friendly and let us sample any flavor we wanted. The bowls were delicious as…read morewell. Really enjoyed my experience

HAPPILY EVER AFTER…read more.. Came here for the grand opening in the late afternoon and couldn't eat dinner afterwards! I mean that in a good way. The bowls are hefty and full, so they fill you up. if you are going to get full, you might as well get full on goodness of healthy ingredients. The bowls are constructed with care and neatly arranged to make it as delightful to look at as they taste. It is nice that they have signature bowls on the menu for those indecisive, choosy people. But you can freestyle your bowl to customize what ingredients you want as well. The Pitaya base was like a sorbet / ice cream and the chia seed pudding was not slimy or weird, but added a nice parfait texture. They both went well together in the BLUE LAGOON bowl which was overall very refreshing, especially on a warm day. There are 2 sizes of bowls, Regular and Large but the Regular size is 16 ounces! A whole pound of food! So that is plenty for one person. The Large is definitely a shareable size (24 oz). Sharing is caring so you can bring a group here. I can see this place being a hang out, as there is quite a bit of space with tables inside and also a patio area. If you are new to Acai Bowls, you might think it is pricy for 1 portion, but you get what you pay for. You pay almost $10 for a fast food meal that is processed junk. But by spending a little more, at least you are eating healthy and get surprisingly stuffed (with possible leftovers) from the bowls. This place can be good for a morning boost with offerings such as smoothies and toast. Or even come here for dessert, make it a happy ending. There are ice cream sandwiches for purchase. But, why not normalize smoothies and acai bowls for dessert? How you feel is a direct result of what you put into your body. Across the parking lot is McDonalds like the devil, and the angel, Everbowl, both on your shoulders. Which one is enticing you? Do yourself and your family a favor, choose the health of your loved ones so they will have an Unbelieve-a-bowl Happily Ever After.

I decided on the Go Green smoothie. It was just ok probably because it tasted very healthy, haha. The prices are on the high side.

Based on the ingredients and calorie count, I ordered the Go Green: graviola, banana, spinach, kale, dates, mint, organic spirulina, and almond milk for $8.79 and only 220 calories. There were a couple of young ladies working. One made the smoothie and the other one seemed to be wiping down the cutting boards. It was kinda bizarre as she barely touched the cutting boards with her towel and the boards were clearly not cleaned at all. She then just disappeared. The one making the smoothie was struggling big time shaking the blender pretty hard the entire time. She was struggling so much to get the smoothie into the cup and I saw her using her hand to get it out. Thank goodness she was wearing gloves but she was touching the blender the whole time! I even asked her to use a spatula but nope. The smoothie was ok, I could taste bits of what I assumed was the graviola. It was extremely filling and 4.5 hours later I'm still full. I like their menu but probably won't return to this location due to the lack of cleaning and sanitizing practices here.
