HOLMDEL: eating healthy somehow tastes like a treat here. Playa Bowls has Jersey Shore roots but…read morehas grown into a nationwide favorite and it is easy to see why. We stopped by the Playa Bowls location thanks to a Yelp New Jersey Elite Squad New Jersey event and got to try a complimentary bowl. The menu is impressively expansive and while they are known for their classic acai and pitaya (dragon fruit) bases, they have branched out with options like mango, banana, coconut, and green blends, so there is truly something for every craving. Each bowl is loaded with fresh fruit and finished with many toppings. The Mango Power Bowl is a standout with mango vanilla protein, granola, banana, and peanut butter. It leans dessert, but fuels like a meal. Sweet, satisfying, and seriously filling. Inside, the tropical vibe makes it easy to kick back and stay awhile. Outside, leashed and friendly dogs are welcome at the picnic tables, making it a great stop for you and your pup. As always, check with your local Playa Bowls for their specific outdoor dog friendly setup.

Both were very good, I usually get other bowls, but wanted to try a new bowl mix and Playa Bowl did not disappoint. Plenty of parking, staff was nice, very busy location.

Hands down my favorite shore spot for juices, superfood smoothies, superfood lattes and sandwiches... oh yeah, the raw superfood chocolates?!! A bit addictive lol. Also, if you're lucky enough to catch a day when they have the lavender cheese cake bar in the fridge it's a dessert game changer (although if you don't like lavender probably not for you) There is nothing on the menu I haven't enjoyed. You won't be disappointed and something for everyone's flavor pallet. Enjoy!

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, but there were definitely no left overs. This is a small shop with very friendly staff. You order at a counter. They have some tables outside for when the weather is nice, but no indoor seating. Most people were coming in to grab takeout. I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely come again.

The staff and service were as warm and welcoming as ever. The decor hasn't changed much, and it still feels primarily like a takeout spot, although there are several tables if you want to sit down and enjoy your meal. We ordered quite a few things: Indian Plate 3.5/5 The tofu was a little too fried this time and wasn't quite as enjoyable as I remembered. The sauce, however, is still very good. Buffalo Soldier 4/5 Still a solid choice. Their crispy baked tempeh buffalo wings are tossed in hot sauce and served in a wrap. The only thing missing was their creamy ranch, which I completely forgot to ask for. Cauliflower Crunch Wrap 4/5 This was a new addition for us, although we remember seeing it several years ago. My friend said it was delicious. Gluten Free Jam Cookie 3/5 My friend didn't finish it, saying the cookie was a little too dense for her liking. Slutty Brownie 3/5 The brownie portion on top was excellent, but the bottom had a very dense cookie layer that was a little much for us. Tiramisu 4/5 Smooth, creamy, and topped nicely. A very enjoyable dessert. Service 5/5 The staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming, just as we remembered. Overall, it was nice to come back after several years and revisit a place that brought back some good memories. Some things were just as good as we remembered, while a few others weren't quite the same for us this time around.

First time here. I parked a couple of streets away and it wasn't so easy to see the sign as I was…read morewalking up. I went after being recommended this place by a friend. The store was very clean. They have a bunch of juices in the refrigerator. When I was checking out the guy at the register told me they also had frozen products, which is what I decided to opt for. I purchased a lot of cold pressed juices and wouldn't be able to drink them right away so having a frozen option was definitely super helpful. I also signed up for the Rewards program when I was there. I don't live too close. Definitely would visit more often if I was a little bit closer. So far I really like several of the juices I purchased. Definitely interested in coming back and trying other items.

The House of Poke has so many incredible dishes on their menu besides actual poke bowls: Sushi burritos, poke nachos, chicken teriyaki, sushi pizza, the list goes on. On my last visit here, I was in a bit of a rush and wanted something super quick and luckily, the poke bar saved my day. The server helping me out was so patient and friendly as I mentally built my bowl. My half brown rice, half zucchini noodle base with lots of fixing and tuna as my protein was a perfect dinner. It was ready in literally no time at all, was incredibly delicious and just as wonderful the next day when I snacked on the leftovers for lunch. If you haven't tried The House of Poke yet, this is your sign to make the visit. They have plenty of seating and a very cool vibe if you are eating in and are quick quick quick if you are looking for something to grab and go.

My family was exploring and I really wanted something savory while in the area. I saw "sushi…read moreburrito" and was intrigued. It seemed a safe choice (we're allium-free vegetarians) and I was luckily right, for the most part. The place is cute with a little gift shop (this squishiest, needoh, and little toys) to the side which I was not expecting and the rest was the restaurant. They have an open kitchen, do poke bowls and drinks including boba. Plus mochi ice cream, roll ice cream, and other sweets. You place your order at the counter, pick your table, and they'll bring out your food. Sushi burritos are NOT officially on the menu but you essentially use the same section as DIY poke bowls. Same price regardless of bowl or burrito. You just pick and choose and make your own which I thought was fun. The tricky part is the sauce. They have a good selection, but the lady did not know what the ingredients were, which was... disappointing. Didn't ask the kitchen either. We ended up going with soy sauce, which was given to us in a cup on the side. The burrito is nicely sized. I asked for a number of things and you could taste them as you worked through it but it's impossible to taste everything at the same time. But it's not throughout the entire length of the burrito. It also doesn't have any additional seasoning aside from items like oshinko (pickled, radioactive yellow radish... it was thinly sliced and I couldn't see it but I did taste it when I got to it) or things bloomed their own flavor like mango so the sauce is recommended. Soy sauce was perfect, but I really wanted to try the Honey Wasabi sauce. Anyway, the burrito was good! But it was also $17. Ouch. Tofu doesn't cost that much so I did think it a bit much? There's an option for NO protein which is a little cheaper so maybe that would have been better? Good place to go to for a savory bite. Would be better if I could get fancier sauce and there was better knowledge of ingredients. That in itself makes the place iffy for the entire family. One of my kids has multiple food allergies.
