Tropical Acai Bowl
David H.

I've been to the Mosaic location and figured I'd try this one since I was in the area. Despite the mixed reviews, I'm glad I gave it a try. The Tropical Acai Bowl was tasty with an acai base and lots of granola, pineapple, banana with a little honey. They weren't too crowded on a Sunday afternoon and we were able to grab a seat at one of the tables outside. Service was pretty good and we got our orders fast. I'm usually closer to the Mosaic location so I'd go there first but I'd come here again if I was in the area.

Inside

Definitely recommend if you like smoothie bowls! The inside is adorable with lots of seating and some outside as well! They made our bowls SO quickly and they were so delicious! Reasonably priced for smoothie bowls. My Goji pitaya bowl was $13

Probably the best smoothie/bowl place I have been to in the greater DMV area. Their wide selection of items and customizations is great but may also, from a business perspective, be a limiting factor; inasmuch quality and excess may be difficult to control. However, it is very noteworthy in that the quality and diversity of items is often not found at more common like venues. A bit pricey, but very much worth it if you're into this niche of dining. Will likely return when desiring a smoothie/bowl. Highly recommended.

Coco Craze Coconut Bowl
Deb G.

Friendly service, good food, what else do you need? I stopped in for breakfast before a conference and got the coco craze - "Playa Coconut blend topped with granola, banana, pineapple, mango, coconut flakes, honey." So, I won't lie. I wasn't expecting the coconut to basically be soft serve. That was a bit much for breakfast, but I didn't know. The fruit was great, though, and balanced with the creamy coconut. Honestly, it was very tasty and good, but just felt a bit more like dessert than breakfast. Still yummy though!

Nutella Acai Bowl
Jessica E.

Love playa bowls! I frequented the mosaic location until I moved closer to here and sometimes get my fix. My go to is the Nutella açaí bowl. Love the equal portions of banana and strawberries I get. The Nutella drizzle is perfect. Service is mediocre whenever I stop by - the employees just look like they really don't want to be there. But I get my stuff and I'm in and out. Haven't had any issues. Parking can be annoying, but it's RTC. few parking spots in front, maybe should add a pick up spot.

I thought this açaí bowl was quite good, I think it's just too expensive for what it is. pretty small and at 13$ it's a basic amount of fruit and granola, you could chomp a whole lunch plate for much better value. I think it'll be difficult for this business to survive given how other reviews have stated quality control too. price not meeting quality is going to severely diminish their customer base. especially since Reston has so many other food options in the area

Everything on the menu is so healthy and delicious. Really cute decor and staff was super friendly. Lots of options which makes decision pretty difficult! Decided to get the coco craze and dragonberry. Loved coco craze or anything coconut combined with fresh fruits. Dragonberry was very popular and the color was just so appealing. The bowl is great as dessert or even lunch if you feel like having something light.

You know a place serves real deal freshness when you walk in and the first thing you notice is the line of fresh pineapples sitting on top of the counter, of which every so often a worker walks around to grab one to cut up and use in the smoothies/ bowls! Yes, I'm talking about Playa Bowls here if you didn't catch that. I went here twice during my week and a half visit to Reston/ DC area (oops). I'm normally a person that prides myself on trying a new place to eat each meal when I'm on vacation or just somewhere that's not home, but Playa forced me to break that rule (maybe not really but just imagine with me). Their smoothie bowls are SO fresh. And you can mix more than one base! I always love that addition, and of course there are dozens of fresh add-ins to choose from, all of which will create a fantastic party in the mouth charade. I also tried their special peanut butter coffee smoothie thing and wow. It was packed with flavor, filling, and just how it was described: PERFECTION! From the groovy surfer tropical setup of the store to the amazingly fresh ingredients and final product to the great service, I have no bad words, only these: Go go go!!

I wouldnt come this location again if I can, service wasnt pleasure. They rushed taking and making orders, my bowls wasnt well-blended (still have pineapple chunk in it). My favorite location is Mosaic

Green Power Bowl with coconut shave
Vina H.

If you want to eat a healthy bowl of fruit and smoothie for lunch or even for dinner, Playa bowl is your place. I love this place. I get full from eating half a bowl. It is a bit price since this whole bowl cost about $17 dollars including tax. I got the Green Bowl with the kale smoothie and banana and starwberry on top with almonds and granola and honey. The bowl is huge and is not too sweet. The only thing i don't like about this place is their parking sucks so keep that in mind.

Pura Vida Acai Bowl
Francheska P.

Fresh fruit! Great staff. Clean restaurant. And quick service. I love this place I have never been disappointed. It is on the pricey side For what it Is 2 bowls will run you about $26

Electric Mermaid Pitaya Bowl and Dragonberry Pitaya Bowl
Ang K.

First time trying any type of açaí bowl spot. A lot of options but we went with pitaya bowls - I got the Electric Mermaid. Delicious, fresh, and filling. Would definitely return.

Pura Vida Acai Bowl
Alice B.

I LOVE this place. I was hesitant to try it because I'm not a huge fan of fad eating. However, I'm happy that I finally caved and tried an açaí bowl. My favorite is the Pura Vida, which is açaí base, granola, honey, and topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries. Perfection. The portion sizes are definitely filling but you have to eat these fresh out of preparation for the best experience. Otherwise the granola gets a little soggy and the açaí melts a bit which is ok but best when it's still slightly frozen. The açaí is fresh and you can tell by its color. If you buy açaí in the store it normally is a darker purple but Playa Bowl's açaí is a vibrant purple. The fruit is always super fresh and perfectly ripe. I honestly have zero complaints other than the fact I can't have this every day!

Welcome to the all natural Naked Lunch located inside Mom's Organic Market on Elden Street in Herndon, Virginia. Everything is made in house and from scratch - awesome bowls, soups, muffins and the lovely juice bar. The piece de resistance- the amazing team here - Trevor( an angel and just the sweetest kid in the world), Osvaldo - another kind and great guy; Ken - a gentleman a worker and just so courteous, Maris - we talk about our families, Jose, Kendall and the awesome Ashley. They know their stuff and are hard workers who not only preach it but live it and practice it. Their genuine love and care transfers to the healthy fare and makes it even better. Their black bean burger is unique and delicious; their pomegranate muffins are to die for. Their sushi bowls, molar bowls, confetti bowls( please see the menu photo) are so unique and exquisite. All the dressings are made in house and they are stupendous. I have missed out on the soup a few times( sold out in the first hour). The place is casual with tall seating stools and a self help table w plastic ware and napkins. I don't think I am doing a good job and justice by writing about this. Not even close. So get your clothed butt down to Naked Lunch for a healthy, fun and habit forming experience. Juice bar open 9-8 daily. Kitchen 11-8.

With the espresso flight you can choose three espresso drinks you want, including their specialties. You can choose hot/iced, but all has to be made with the same type of diary, which is not a problem for me! I ordered an Oat Latte, Dark Star (espresso, oat milk, dark chocolate & Azteca), and included one matcha drink, My Little Green Friend (matcha, oat milk, white chocolate & vanilla). They all tasted so good. Creamy, sweet, but not too sweet. And they came in three little mugs, with aesthetic latte art. I got so full (lol), but it was the best decision of the day! Can't wait to go back and try more of their creations!
