Nica Bowl...
Angel R.

This location consistently provides poor customer service. I'm never greeted when I walk in the staff just stare as if I'm inconveniencing them by walking in. When I come in to pick up my mobile orders, I usually have to say "excuse me" multiple times and still get ignored. I've waited over 10 minutes multiple times for someone to assist me, while staff stand around on their phones sometimes even wearing gloves, which they then continue to use to prepare our bowls. GROSS! As for the orders themselves, the quality is disappointing. Every time I order online, the drizzle is placed underneath the fruit instead of on top, which defeats the purpose...? This time, I found about five maybe 7 banana slices total in my entire bowl on one side. It was not busy and there was no rush. I had also customized the bowl by removing three items and adding two, yet I was still charged extra how does that make sense when I'm getting less?

Nutella Acai Bowl

haven't had one in a long time but it was really good and refreshing, i'd recommend the nutella açaí bowl

Where is the Nutella in this? This is simply a nutelloco bowl. NOTHING, none. and when I asked the girl behind the counter, she says they will not put it on top since it's A To Go order, otherwise she's gonna have to charge me extra to put it on top. won't be coming back to this location. All other locations are so much better than this one.

This is a reliably great PlayaBowls. The place is big and has outdoor seating. Lots of seating, good for larger groups. There's usually a steady flow of people coming and going. The place is quiet there is free WiFi if you want it hangout. The employers are really nice local kids. They take and make your order quickly. I usually get a tide bowl with a booster base and other customizations. I also love that this location still offers Poke bowls because others locations nearby don't have them anymore.

I was very disappointed with yesterday's visit to PLaya. We were in the area car shopping when my teenaged daughter asked to pop in Playa. I love going to Playa, especially when it's warmer out, there's such a summer feel to the place. My wife and daughter ordered bowls, I ordered a chocolate, peanut butter and banana shake. The banana they used in my shake was green, they didn't blend it longer than 5 secs to blend the pb in, the whole bottom of my cup was full of unblended peanut butter. So to sum it up, my wife and daughter enjoyed their bowls, I usually enjoy my food. The taste of my shake was ruined by a green banana and unblended pb.

This is such a cute Playa bowl location. An amazing indoor and outdoor place to sit. I was waited on by Shelby and she was so nice and friendly. She made a great juice selection and I loved it. Will be coming back to this location.

The customer service needs to improve. Bedside manner needs to be worked on. I'm an adult and don't like to be talked down to.

An associate--who appeared to be new, as I've visited this location many times before--approached me and handed me a bag. She said something while doing so, but it was unclear. Assuming the order was mine, I took the bag and left. As soon as I got into my car, I received a phone call from someone who I believe was the manager, stating only that I had taken the wrong food. I immediately returned to the store and handed the bag back. The manager explained that it belonged to the other customers who had been waiting. He then asked me if I had opened the bag, which I had not--I had only just reached my car when I received the call. The other customers looked through the bag and said they would still take the food. Throughout this interaction, the manager did not apologize or take accountability for the mistake made by his staff. I was left standing there feeling as though I had done something wrong, and the situation made me uncomfortable, especially with the way the other customers were looking at me. I understand that mistakes happen, and I'm not upset about the mix-up itself. What was disappointing was the manager's lack of professionalism, communication, and apology. A simple explanation or acknowledgment would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression.

Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome inside as well as at the outdoor tables, making it an easy stop for you and your pup. Their craft drinks are thoughtfully made, with a mix of everyday favorites and creative seasonal specials, plus light bites to round out your visit. We loved spotting a couple of other dogs soaking up the outing with their families, always a good sign you have found a gem. They also have a location in Manalapan, so you have got options when the craving hits.

They had a special matcha for a limited time called the Applejacks matcha, so I ordered that. I had them take off the white chocolate and do oat milk because I'm vegan. I absolutely loved it. It was so delicious and flavorful, and it was the best flavored matcha I had had in a long time. I do love regular, traditional matcha with no flavoring, so I'm not talking about that. I'm just talking about a flavored matcha that was so good. After a couple of weeks, I went to the Manalapan location and had the same matcha. While it was not as good as the Brick one, I didn't really hold that against them. Then a couple of weeks later, I went back to the Brick location and they told me they didn't have matcha because they ran out. They said their customers who really love matcha were not happy about it either, and that they didn't know when they were going to get it back in. That's why I took away one star. They are a business and should make an effort to always have matcha available. Matcha not being available one day is one thing, but not having it and not knowing when it's coming back is another thing. I just don't think that's acceptable. Besides that, this place is really good. Their drinks seem really creative. I've mostly only had the matcha because I love matcha. It also seems like a really nice place to sit and study, and it always seems clean. The day they didn't have the matcha, I got a chai tea instead and it wasn't that great, so I know not to get the chai again. Overall, I do like California Cold Co. a lot and I hope the whole matcha thing doesn't happen again. It seems like a really good, solid place.
