    Acai Energy smoothie 16oz
    Khadijia M.

    Always great service at Playa Bowls. I went in to get a gift card for my friend and to try a smoothie for the first time. (I usually get a bowl). The smoothie was really good and was made quickly. I like the fall decorations as well.

    This is my last time ordering from Playa Bowl. This location has been going down hill for a while now but it was always forgivable. Tonight? They gave me barely any fruit (literally that was it), no Nutella despite paying for the addition, and the bowl was the consistency of soup. This picture is of my bowl that is untouched besides taking off the lid. It's not worth the high cost.

    The staff was patient with me as I scanned the very large menu for the perfect smoothie, I wanted something that would revitalize my day but not spoil my dinner that was only a couple of hours away. My smoothie was blended very quickly and the color was vibrant. We tend to eat with our eyes so I was ready to taste my beautiful smoothie with a swirl of peanut butter. I enjoyed this as a late lunch supplement and I felt like I was making a healthy choice by choosing Playa Bowl. Parking is easy in the back and convenient to the back entrance. I would recommend swapping a smoothie from Playa Bowl in to your late afternoon snacking during the week.

    Sigh, this location left things to be desired but I love Playabowls so I come here alot. Tonight, I was eating and thought their granola pieces were harder than normal. After a couple bites, I got curious and spit out.... I found small cracked pieces of green plastic in my bowl. I'm guessing it's pieces of their spoon. Their spoon is biodegradable right? Because I'm pretty sure I swallowed some pieces. I'm embarrassed to admit I tried to eat another bite but another piece came out. After that, I finally chucked the bowl. Should I be worried about the pieces I swallowed? Lol

    I'm not really a huge fan of this playa bowls location. The staff is kind of slow and while there is a lot of employees, they mostly just gossip, and you can literally hear them, so it took awhile for my order to be taken and made, even though it was just me and someone else in the store. When I went up to order, the girl was kind of just taking her time asking me about my order, which was kind of annoying, and then I had to wait like 7-8 minutes for my bowl even though there were no orders ahead of me. At least when I got my bowl, the girl that made it apologized for it taking so long, but I don't understand why it took so long for a simple bowl when everything is mostly premade already.

    Staff in an empty store, talking and not making bowls.

    I got a custom açaí bowl and it was great! The workers were nice and it was ready fast, although to be fair the store was pretty empty.

By far the best locations are in Edison and East Brunswick. I love that this Playa is located on my alma mater but their bowls have definitely got smaller and smaller over the years. I barely was able to get any açaí in my bowl this time. Nevertheless, I am loyal to Rutgers so I will still support this establishment when I am in the area.

    Im sorry but i have to be honest I got a nutella bowl…read more It was very messy and the fruits werent for human consumption . The bananas were way overipe.They go down as if they were mashed potatoes while the strawberries were not.They were very tart and some were pink not red.(meaning not ready to eat) They barely put any nutella in it. They were very cheap about it. Idk if this location is struggling or business aint booming but shorting customers could be a downfall. The icing on the cake is the staff working there. They hire young staff (maybe college students or just teens ) Big problem theyre lazy as hell. They dont want to work they just want to talk and be on their phones I ordered online and when i go pick up my food that was supposed to be ready 20 mins prior I get there and everyone is talking and standing around but no one got my order ready.I had to wait an additional 15 mins THIS IS FOR THE OWNER PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET IT TOGETHER OR CLOSE THAT BUSINESS AND LET THEM PUT SOMETHING ELSE THERE. GET A NEW STAFF TOO YOU HAVE KIDS GETTING FREE MONEY CAUSE THEYRE NOT WORKING

There is nothing that's supposed to be in that sandwich even close to granola so it felt spiteful. You don't mess with someone's food like that man, absolutely ridiculous.
