As a newly opened location, I did not base my review on the first visit. I am happy to report that the kinks of the first weeks have been worked out! Hooray!
Playa Bowls has a fun, beachy atmosphere and a very friendly staff. The gentleman I'm assuming is the store manager has been very kind and appreciative of my patronage both times I've visited.
I'm a big fan of a smoothie for a meal and other than a high price tag, Playa Bowls does not disappoint. They do offer a fairly easy to manage customer rewards program. They also do a monthly sticker reveal so if you go early in the month, you might get a fun sticker (if that's your thing).
I enjoyed my 20 oz Dolce smoothie so fast after a morning of yard-work in the hot sun, that I did not capture an image. This smoothie includes banana, peanut butter, chocolate protein powder, and coconut milk. What's not to like with that combo?! However, the peanut butter is drizzled in the inside of the cup so unless you use your flimsy straw to scrape it off, you're not getting much peanut butter. I also had a few sips of protein powder chunks that made those sips taste bitter. It seems that if the recipe had a splash more liquid and blended for a moment longer, this might be avoided.
I'm certain these recipes and instructions come down from corporate headquarters.
I will definitely keep returning to Playa Bowls in Westborough and I'm so happy they are in the neighborhood! read more
