Julie Anna E.

My dad walks over a mile into town from our house every Saturday to treat himself to a bowl from here! Whenever I am in town visiting my parents- I go with him. We walked to Playa Bowls on a beautiful and sunny Saturday morning for 2 bowls & an iced coffee coffee. I got the Jetty Bowl and I really enjoyed it. The chai pudding base was really good, filling, and not too sweet. Loved the granola & honey on top, and they have the freshest fruit- especially blueberries! They are HUGE and so sweet! Love this place and love having a nice breakfast place to walk to with my dad!

Açaí bowl

Stopped in for an açaí bowl after a run, very quiet and only one other customer in there. Pretty standard ambiance for a playa bowls. I got an açaí bowl with strawberries, kiwi, bananas, Nutella and granola. For some reason there were 3 random raisins in my granola which wasn't pleasing but other than that it was fine.

My first Acai bowl: very tasty, filling, and pretty fresh! Also beautiful looking! The atmosphere is very summery inside and when we went on a Saturday morning they had plenty of girls working so our bowls came up in no time. Prices were $9+ which I guess is reasonable for a meal? No complaints really because you get your money's worth. Tons of options and additional toppings are $.50, which is a great price point. The Acai was fresh and flavorful. I would come here to explore more bowl options and try something new (I played it safe my first order with strawberries, bananas, and granola). This will be great on a hot summer day. Tune in for the day I try Bango Bowls and compare ;)

I'm definitely a fan and to be honest, I've been craving the next time I can go back! I love that they have so many options and that they offer a good amount in the bowl for the price. They also deliver through some of the delivery apps! The workers were nice and helpful. I am impressed and I would definitely recommend it here!

"Stupid Cupid!!"
Elissa O.

Went to Playa Bowls West Chester tonight, located across Market Street from Barnaby's. Great location, used to be a frozen yogurt store there a few years back. Situated right next to the parking garage. My younger daughter and I went there at her request, as we'd gone to the Ocean City boardwalk Playa Bowl as a family last year and really enjoyed it! Unique concept. Many many choices. They have a lot of different types of "bases" like coconut milk, strawberries, and bananas, for example...like mine tonight. I had the "Stupid Cupid" which had the delicious base I just described, surrounded with lots of crunchy granola, ringed by sliced fresh strawberries and big coconut flakes, and drizzled on top with both Nutella and white chocolate! Wow! DELICIOUS! And, it's a BIG bowl! Yikes!! So five stars for the location, the casual decor (we sat on the stools facing the front window...and watched the world go by...), the friendly young counter staff and the BOWLS of yummy combinations of good things to eat that are mostly (Nutella? LOL) good for you! :)

Dolce Smoothie
Kayla R.

As a former UD student, I was excited when I saw Playa Bowls was coming to WC! I usually get the dolce smoothie which is delicious and peanut buttery. I came during the week with a friend and we ate our smoothie/açaí bowl and did some work on our laptops. There is free WiFi and a few plugs around inside to charge up your laptop. We came early in the morning and it wasn't busy but business picked up a lot during lunch time! It ended up getting too noisy/crowded to continue working so we went elsewhere. But it was a great place to hang out/study! Can't beat the tropical vibes and good food.

Stupid Cupid bowl
Trisha B.

Hi! I went to Playa Bowls with a friend and was impressed! The menu is HUGE and it took me like 10 minutes just to look at all of my options. There are tons of bowls to pick from based on the smoothie base (açaí, banana, chia, etc), specialty bowls or customizable bowls. I ended up with the Stupid Cupid (speciality bowl) and it was delicious! It was a strawberry banana smoothie base, topped with granola, cacao nibs, coconut, strawberries, and Nutella. The cost was on the higher side for smoothie bowls (~$10), but the serving size was huge! Definitely is a shareable size, or you could take it home and have leftovers. The inside of the shop is also super cute. There is plenty of room for seating and it has a beachy vibe. There were also fun little games sitting on tables to keep you entertained. Worth checking out if you are in the area and need a refreshing treat!

Recently, there was an in-app promotion to get a buy one get one free bowl. It didn't work, which was annoying, but it wasn't a big deal at the time. I emailed customer support and after a month I finally got a response. Ultimately, they gave me enough points in my account to get a free bowl as a make up. Cool, works for me. So a few days later I go and use this free bowl reward and guess what? It doesn't work. So on two occasions I paid full price for a bowl I was supposed to get for free. It's only like $30ish so I really don't want to make it a bigger deal than it is, but the customer support has been awful. They haven't provided me with any solutions. They can't issue refunds either? It got to the point I suggested Venmo or check in mail to get me the money I was scammed out of. It's really a shame that this was my first ever 1 star review on yelp. I barely even use this app. But I'm pretty sure I was one of the most frequent customers at this location and I guess I'll have to get some extra steps in to get my bowls from Playa down the street from now on.

Regarding service, my first time visiting, I didn't realize my bowl was wrong given it was my first time ordering from there. I called for a credit so that I could just order the bowl I actually wanted and the manager was pretty snipping and said that they would refund the bowl but that I should check my bowl before leaving next time. A little condescending but we ended up moving beyond that since the actual workers were really nice / though I never actually got that refund.. Anyways, The Peanutty is my favorite and my partner loves the Greentastic. I recently tried the Elite and it's delicious with quality ingredients. That being said I had to grab some salad dressing from the fridge because the wrap was complexly dry - no sauce or dressing on it. But paired with the dressing it was absolutely delicious!

I've had the almond joy which is my favorite, and the matcha with out banana. I'm allergic to banana, avocado, spinach, and pineapple which seriously limits me, but they have never had a problem taking it out or subbing something else. The avo cranberry wrap is so delicious and the wraps are huge. The sweet potato fries are pretty soggy each time I get them, but they still taste okay. The prices are pretty steep honestly. I wish they offered a bigger smoothie size than just the one. It's pretty small for 9 dollars. It's a little confusing because the menu says they offer 16oz and 20oz but when you order online there is no size option. I'll definitely return because the quality is there!

I love their bowls, while the price is a few dollars more than your average fast-casual restaurant, you'll get much fresher REAL food that you won't get at your from an $8 sandwich shop. I had been craving Playa Bowls ever since I got back from my beach trip (wishing I was still there...sigh). I tried to visit the Newark, DE location the night before - after a 25 minute drive I pulled up to a sign on the door saying 'we are closed for maintenance'! The next morning I bumbled down to Wayne, PA for my first visit to this Playa Bowls location. They were much faster and friendlier than my usual stop down the shore, even during my 11 am visit on a Saturday... My Chila Tella bowl with vanilla vegan protein was as perfect as I could have expected. As was my girlfriend's strawberry banana smoothie which soon became 30% mine. My only frustration was that the staff was unsure how to use their own app - I showed them the QR code of my Playa Bowls rewards card, as the app says to, and the employee had no clue what to do with it. Nor did any of the other two ladies working. They took my phone number instead, and my points never showed up. Again, it's certainly not the end of the world but this is just something I would've expect them to be trained on. All in all, I have always had fairly good experiences at Playa Bowls. They're one of my favorite places to eat out, especially when I need that beach-away-from-beach vibe. Hope to go back before the end of the summer... more like the end of this week.

Service was great but I just don't understand the lack of portioning around here. I used to go to a…read moreplaya bowls on the Jersey shore and just moved here. No matter which playa bowls I go to in this area I receive almost half the amount of base that I'm used to receiving. For almost a 15 dollar bowl I just expect a bit more than what's here.
