My visit to Playa Bowls was amazing, all thanks to Sarah Parise. She was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and made the entire experience feel welcoming from start to finish. Her positive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond truly stood out, ensuring everything was perfect and enjoyable. It's rare to come across someone so dedicated to great customer service, and she made my visit memorable. I will definitely be coming back because of the outstanding experience she provided. read more

It's hard to go wrong with playa bowls -- they're consistently delicious and refreshing -- especially in hot weather. We had the booster bowl and the green power bowl. Both were prepared quickly, tasted fresh, and were quite filling. The seating was fun / whimsical and the location has a lot of light coming through the windows. read more

This place keeps very very busy! Folks coming for the healthy alternative for a delightful summer cool treat. I let the gentleman employee make a recommendation for a smoothie for me today, I took the Acai energy smoothie. He was really knowledgeable about it. One thing I noticed was the signage letting you know the story of this chain and I think it's a nice little starter up American dream story. A couple at BelMar beach started this chain with just a blender in a little freezer with some fruits. I'm amazed to see their little shops in so many places. Very nice healthy alternative. I like the signage educating folks about the health benefits that Different fruits and berries offer . read more

I'm not one to bash people or spread negativity but every time I have gone into this location I find myself waiting forever (25-30 mins) People who walk in after me receive their orders first. Sometimes I think they've forgotten about my order. I always get the same thing, just an açaí bowl....Which isn't usually a problem with once in a while things but it's every time- so I started ordering ahead on the app. Employees are definitely not the friendliest either. I've heard quite a lot of personal gossip between workers or receive dirty looks from the girls while I'm waiting for my bowl. However to end on a positive note, the fruit is always good and fresh. My gluten allergy is paid attention to and the GF granola is super good! read more

The ladies working here are SUPER friendly and i have to say, the acai bowl was ON POINTT. The granola was so crunchy and fresh, the acai nice and cold, everything was layered veryy well and it was just absolutely delicious. It really hit the spot. NOT TO MENTION the BEAUTIFUL mural! And the interior was very cute too. All around great vibes and ambiance. read more

Food is good but experience at this location is not. It is July 15th at 10:50 am and the teenage girl who took our order was INCREDIBLY rude. She was wearing a yellow shirt, had many necklaces on, and a French braid with auburn ish hair. First of all, she lied to us about serving water cups when every other time we have been here we have received them with no questions asked, after we had told her we have gotten this many times before she said "I'll see what I can do" and rolled her eyes. This is COMPLETELY unacceptable. Also as we were trying to place our order she was having a whole conversation with her coworkers not giving us any mind. This is absurd and something needs to be done immediately. As of right now I will not be returning because of this worker. Please have something done. read more

Great location and expert staff. This is an awesome location for poke bowls. Sparta very affluent area we have to go 10 miles to get poke. Corner the market early!!! read more

My daughters favorite place! Employees seem to be a bit snobby, but it depends. The food overall is really good and my daughter being a picky eater seems to really enjoy it. Overall restaurant is very clean, my one complain is just the employees, can't seem to remember their names though. read more

No. Bowls were just what you typically expect but the costumer service was absolutely awful... The girls working behind the counter were very rude and not attentive at all. I understand working with friends but please don't gossip about HU with a guy in front of the costumers and then proceed go treat me like im just invading their space read more

I never went to the playa bowls at the previous Sparta location, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had reopened by the new shoprite. I had the coco craze coconut bowl, which was fantastic. Portion size was large and they give you A LOT of fruit. The fruit was ripe and sweet. The granola was really good, crunchy but super light at the same time and tasted like blueberry. Even though there was a decent line, service was fast. They have an option for online ordering. I will definitely be returning! read more

I am totally addicted to playa bowls! Refreshing, delicious and fresh every time. I am particularly fond of the acai bowl-Its energizing and keeps me satisfied until dinner time. The staff in Sparta is always professional and quick. The place is always clean and smells of fruit. I cannot say enough good things about this place! read more

Ordered 2 smoothies and both have absolutely 0 flavor. I definitely will not waste my money here again. And I've had playa bowl before and loved it read more

Horrible horrible service. First, I never ever write reviews. This one deserves one, because it was soooo bad! They were putting all of their chairs up a full hour before closing, upon our arrival. My daughter ordered a shake and it was disgustingly, lukewarm like piss warm! No joke! When we told them they said ok fine np we will make her a new one. When we got it back they said that they had to charge us in (with a total attitude!) We didn't want to make a scene so we paid but that was not appropriate because they messed up! My daughters friend was there and the mother had ordered online 35 minutes prior, but when they went there it wasn't ready and they blamed it on the website and that it didn't come through but the mom saw that it went through! She ordered it again and then she waited and waited another 20 minutes, while other patrons were coming in and ordering their bowls and getting them. Finally, she spoke up and asked where the bowls were and the girls said they were going to start making them right then. It was like I completely forgot .while chucking at eachother. I hope the owner reads these reviews. Because everyone working on Thursday evening, including the woman in charge, should be reprimanded for their poor attitude and UN-professionalism!!!! Again, never ever do I sit and write a review on anything. But this one deserves it. I should never have paid for the second shake. But I did not want to make a scene in front of children over a $10 shake. But if I were alone, it would have been an argument to teach these young ladies how to treat a customer and be a good human!! read more

The wait was so long and ordered ahead and people who just walked in got there stuff before us. We got a smoothie and its like it was just out of the microwave and they had to remake it and had to pay again. We were there for 30 minutes waiting. We ordered ahead and the order didn't go through and so we re-ordered it and we were waiting for 30 minutes. My friend came and was waiting with us and they stayed with us while we were waiting. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would! The açaí is not freshly made, I watched one of the workers pull out a container full of leftover açaí from the fridge, gross! The strawberries were very soggy and not fresh, they gave a great amount of unpleasantness. The only good thing about my bowl was the honey. If you want to get a real açaí bowl I suggest you go to Front Porch Organics up the road, their açaí is worth your money! read more

Playa bowls in Sparta NEVER disappoints. I find myself back there at least once or twice a week. I've never had a bowl that wasn't perfectly delicious, particularly if Sam is making it (btw she's also so hot that she might burn your eyes off before you get to taste the delicacy that is presented to you across that counter). I love all the hand painted walls - the whole room is colorful and beachy. The service is efficient. Best vibe ever. Highly recommend. read more

The word "Smoothie" includes "Smooth" which means NO Chunks. Unfortunately the management and employees here do not fully blend their smoothies and gross chunks of pineapple, banana etc fly up your straw. You guys have a blender. Use it!! Other Playa Bowls have learned how.... read more

This playa bowls staff is the worst, I walked in with my girlfriend to get some bowls and my girlfriend and I were being stared at. All of the staff members there were staring and never breaking eye contact even while making our bowls. It made us feel so uncomfortable while waiting for our bowls, I would not recommend going to this playa bowls the teenage workers will stare. read more

Wow terrible service!! The staff was completely unprofessional and made it clear they did not want to serve me by saying there was no ingredients for the bowls in the establishment. read more
