    My smoothie

    i ordered a smoothie and the smoothie was not smooth it was chunky with bananas i can't even drink it anymore this is insane!! i want a refund!

    I was in the mood for a smoothie and stopped in. I ordered the "Dolce" smoothie which includes banana, peanut butter, chocolate protein and coconut milk. I swapped the coconut milk for almond milk. The wait took a bit longer than expected, which allowed me to take a few photos of the establishment. Once our smoothies came out I was pleasantly surprised that they put caramel on the inside of the cup. The flavor was spot on. Very good smoothie. They have ample seating and cute decor. I will definitely stop in again.

    I was in the mood for a change, so I threw myself a curveball and tried Playa Bowls. Only downfall is that the parking is extremely rough. It is street parking only and there is no parking directly in front. Inside of the shoppe was very clean and Casual. You can sit in and relax and eat or take home like we did. Service was very good. We ordered online and everything was ready when we got there. Both of the women working there was polite and greeted me as I walked in. I got the tropical acai bowl which had pineapple, bananas, coconut strips and granola. Everything was fresh and it was just absolutely delicious. Albeit odd, but I got this for breakfast and it worked. My wife got the oatmeal with maple syrup. I didn't want to try it as the clash of flavors between here and mine didn't seem appealing. Very satisfying and looking forward to trying more options that they provide.

    Dragonfruit pitaya bowl and drink

    Went in for the free bowl for vets on Veteran's Day. Chose the dragonfruit pitaya bowl with granola, honey, blueberries and strawberries. They even threw in the drink for free even though we were prepared to pay for it. The pitaya bowl took me back to our trip to Hawaii. The fruit was fresh, granola crunchy, and the honey added the perfect amount of sweetness. The magenta color of the base is incredible and tasted nice. The blue drink was lemony and not too sweet. It wasn't busy in the morning, service was quick, and we took our time to enjoy the bowl at a hightop table.

    PROS: This was a very clean and renovated Playa Bowls. Staff is friendly, prices are good for fresh ingredients, they made the smoothies quickly, and there's lots of places to sit at CONS: Hardly any parking as it's just street parking that costs OVERALL: As long as you can find parking you should definitely stop in

    I get playa bowls at least once every week or so and this location has the process and consistency down perfect. I like to alternate between the Electric mermaid bowl and pura vida bowl and the fruit is always fresh, tastes like they were in season, and is packed to the brim with your toppings. The acai base is also always perfectly whipped up and doesn't taste like it was mass made and frozen way ahead of time like some Playa bowls location. Service here is also really prompt, friendly, and eager to please. Hands down my favorite Playa Bowls location.

    Definitely one of the better Playa Bowls in the area. Take out is super quick. Bowls were super tasty and aesthetically pleasing.

    they only fill the playa bowls half way. they are also the only location that charges for substitutions

    I go here wayyyyy to often but obsessed with açaí. So many different options and usually do order ahead depending on the time of the day because it can get busy. Definitely the yummiest on a hot summer day

    I ordered the Green Power Bowl on Uber Eats. The order was packaged well for travel. This bowl is delicious, but incredibly overpriced. I'm ashamed that I spent $20 for a smoothie bowl. If you're willing to spend the money - it has really good flavor and they use very fresh fruit.

    Who doesn't love a good açaí bowl?? I'm currently out in NJ visiting family, and they constantly RAVE about playa bowls. Decided to check it out my first day here and I totally get the obsession. I've always been a fan of açaí bowls in generals, but what I love about playa bowls specifically is the variety available. You can have an açaí base, pitaya base, protein base and more. This feels very unique to this chain itself. The fruits and various other toppings are delicious and help create a flavorful profile for your bowl! I got the Nutaya bowl which is pitaya base, granola, Nutella, blueberries and coconut mixture. I was expecting the Nutella to be a little bit more a drizzle than a whole layer, but not disappointed. Still adds all the fun flavors you could ask for. It's such a refreshing breakfast (or treat depending on when you get one) and feels like you're having sorbet. Highly recommend this spot! Can't wait to try more of the bowl options. Hopefully they start moving out west so it'll be a little easier to accomplish haha.

Crêpes are an ultra-thin pancake common in France that can be made sweet or savory, typically rolled or folded with a variety of fillings from jam or Nutella to ham and cheese or fruits. They can be eaten for breakfast, dinner, brunch, dessert, or even a snack. Situated on Riverside Avenue in Lyndhurst, this cozy, simple hidden gem establishment offers an array of healthy options on their diverse menu, to which my partner and I returned after 8 years. Upon entering 3rd Wave Cafe, we were able to get a booth along the wall in an upbeat, casual vibe as the music was playing throughout. We decided on the Tropical Crêpe and Avocado BLT Wrap. I started with a French iced coffee that was really strong and served in a glass mug. The crêpe was fluffy, and the texture was great. I could tell all the fruit in it was fresh because it was sweet. The crepe was decorated nicely with a Nutella drizzle and whipped cream dollops that made it visually pleasing. The food, on top of being good-tasting, had a great presentation. The price was reasonable and the portion a healthy size. The service was friendly and not rushed; our server was Am. We left feeling satisfied and content, and we can recommend returning to explore other menu items.
