I love coming here after a intense workout or hot yoga practice because the bowls are so refreshing! Not only do they offer more bases than I've seen elsewhere (açaí, pitaya, coconut, green, banana, mango, chia, and oatmeal), but they also let you do half-and-half of 2 different flavors! They are also very generous with the portion size for what you pay. Their menu is extensive with tons of creative topping and base pairings. The bowls are well blended with the perfect consistency and the fruit is always fresh. The ambiance is very tropical with Hawaiian surf shop type vibes. When you step inside the store, it feels like you're on vacation at the beach....It's the perfect way to cure the winter blues. The employees are friendly and the service is usually fast. My favorite is the Pura Vida Açaí bowl which consists of açai base topped with crunchy granola, blueberry, strawberry, and honey. I usually add Chia seeds as well. I appreciate that gluten free granola is available as a substitution. In addition to bowls, they also offer smoothies, juices, and chicory cold brews.

Service: Counter service; number given and called when order's up. Menu boards on walls: 4 general bowl choices -- ACAI (ah-sigh-yee, please), PITAYA, GREEN, and BANANA. Those are the bases, and various combos and toppings are additional. Young kids running the counter service. Not too knowledgeable. They JUST work there. Not engaging. Edibles: Got the Goji. Lovely, creamy Pitaya; lots of texture from toppings -- granola, banana, pineapple, coconut, goji, and honey. These are HUGE bowls, and worth sharing with a friend. It's like a glorified smoothie with natural ingredients that SHOULD(?) be good for you in a bowl and to be eaten with a spoon. This experience reminds me of the episode where George Costanza is feeling refined while eating a Snickers Bar on a plate with a fork and knife. So, it seems overpriced. But that is the cost of eating 'healthy'. Ambiance: Chain, fast-casual. So, no soul -- just flashy 'tropical' decor. FREEZING COLD INSIDE. So we sat outside for warmer temp. THIS place is THE hangout for highschool girls with highwaisted mom jeans and crop tops or hoodies and yoga pants. They all share their bowls with each other too. So, guess what their staff is like -- yep, same demographic. Of note: Lot parking. Loo stocked and clean. Overall, OK+. Healthy-ish. read more

The theme of playa bowls smacks you in the face the moment you walk in. Surf shack imagery, giant murals, chalkboard-style menus, leafy palms everywhere and the location splayed across the wall- just in case you forget where you are. The pura vida bowl ordered without honey is vegan. Learn from my mistake, if you forget to say no honey, this comes loaded with honey. A thick layer between the granola and açaí (probably to keep the granola from getting soggy) but even as someone who enjoyed honey prior to going plant-based, this was an extremely excessive amount. Vegan or not I would order without honey. It took scooping out multiple big gobs to get to the açaí part, which resulted in losing a lot of the granola. The staff were all super friendly and efficient making all orders. This location was steady with people in and out the entire time I was there and very busy. Even so, the staff was happy to answer any questions about their menu, which is always appreciated. Overall taste, it was fine. The bowl was loaded up with the fresh fruit toppings but the açaí didn't have as much flavor as I would hope for. Maybe that's where the honey is supposed to come in? Either way, I would give it another try and the generous toppings made up for a lot and the staff was nice but it wasn't my favorite açaí bowl I've had. read more

You definitely know what you're getting into at playa bowls. I think anybody who orders here knows what an açai bowl taste like. I would always get the Nutella bowl or at least add it on. read more

Playa Bowls - Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bites - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rochester Hills, Michigan

My first time in this establishment, friendly staff but I think she must have been having an off day? She forgot to put some ingredients into my order that was supposed to be there. Didn't put in my cocoa nibs and coconut flakes and added granola when I asked her not to. I went back in to have her add the cocoa nibs and assumed the coconut flakes were on the bottom. It wasn't that hard of an order. I just didn't have to time to go back in for a second time to get the coconut flakes added in. Not sure if I'll be back to try a second time. This was a pretty expensive treat and I was hoping to at least be able to get what I ordered. So, how do you justify spending $18 on such a small fruit bowl if it's not what you wanted? read more

I have mixed reviews about this.. firstly, upon entering there isn't a board up to tell you what their bowls are or what is in them. You are greeted by a board with all the ingredients and products that they use which is nice but an additional board outlying some of their staples would be better. In other words, do your research before you come. The store was nice and clean and very authentic looking. The staff was professional. As far as the bowl.. for 13.99 I was not impressed. I had the berry bowl and the texture quality was weird. I'll attempt one more time with the açaí bowl and update this review . read more

Finally we have a Playa Bowls! If you didn't grow up on the East Coast you may know not about Playa Bowls, but they are the OG in the smoothie bowl game. They offer sooooo many kinds of bowls to choose from: acai, oatmeal, dragon fruit, banana, Chai and banana as bases with tons of different topping combos. They also have smoothies and these delicious protein bites. I was happy to see the menu is the same. I ordered my go to favorite bowl, The Jetty with half acai. That's right, they let you mix bases if you like the best of both worlds. My bowl tasted just like back home and everything was fresh and yummy. The Playa bowls back home offers poke bowls, I know not all locations offer pole but it would be cool if this location does in the future. read more

This is one of my favorite spots and i order from here at least once a week but im leaving this negative review because the last couple of times ive gotten it theres been issues. I always have protein powder added to my bowl and common sense its always blended into the base. Whoever made these just sprinkled it on top. It was so hard to mix in myself with all the toppings on it falling out and clumps of the protein powder would not mix in. I had to basically eat chunks of powder. read more

We are addicted! Ingredients are fresh and just so so good. This is most definitely a once a week or more stop. These bowl combinations are like you're tasting/experiencing fruit in a whole new way. Almond Joy chia based is my favorite. We've also tried the açai and coconut based bowls and they have all been 5 star as well. Super friendly and helpful staff! read more

Always go here! The bowls are always fresh. I always order ahead and it's ready very quickly! The staff is awesome and helpful!

Have been extremely sick since ordering Nutella açaí bowl last week. So is my friend who got it with me. Not sure what's happening.

Everything I have tried is delicious! I have tried several bowls & most recently the pumpkin sweet cream cold brew. Everything is of high quality and feels very healthy. The only bummer is the high prices. I have had success with coupons through my Playa Bowl account. It is worth signing up! read more

First time trying playa bowls and we're hooked! Fresh, filling, and delicious. The crunch from the granola mixed with the açaí was my favorite part. Staff were friendly and efficient. Loved the fun surf vibe from the second I walked it. Definitely will be back! One recommendation, I hope they consider making mini bowls or kid size bowls for people who can't eat the whole thing at once! read more

The ingredients were super fresh and the presentation was awesome. I had the oatmeal with strawberries and blueberries. It would have been a bit better if the oatmeal was only slightly easier to mix the fruit with but they were steel cut oats. It was still tasty. The other dish we tried was the almond joy chia pudding and that was excellent. The smoothies were outstanding. The coconut milk did not over power the drink. I would highly recommend. read more
