    I've been eyeing Playa Bowls for a while, ever since I was walking in downtown White Plains and noticed their impending opening. I wasn't too familiar with the brand at that time, just that they specialized in açaí bowls. They have a few other locations in Westchester, so I decided to check out the Tarrytown location and had a good experience. I noticed that the grand opening here in WP was today, so I decided to head over and check it out. Playa Bowls is located centrally in downtown White Plains, right on Main St steps away from Mamaroneck Ave. Walking in, the aesthetics smack you in the face - it's very beachy with lots of aqua blues, pinks, and yellows. The company originated in NJ and summer Jersey Shore vibes are definitely seen here. The space isn't too large, but it's on par with other fast service spots. The menu contains a variety of bowls as well as juices and smoothies. I decided to go relatively simple and order the Pura Vida bowl. In addition to the açaí, it contained granola, blueberries, and strawberries drizzled in honey. The bowl was good - there was a good amount of each component without being overwhelming, and the flavors complemented each other. All the ingredients tasted super fresh as well. Service was fast and friendly, and overall I had a good first experience at the White Plains' Playa Bowls. I'm excited that this location opened; it's contributing to the growing diversity and selection of food offerings in White Plains and I'm looking forward to my next visit.

    So far I have been really pleased with the food and service at this new location. My go to order is the Tropical, an acai bowl topped with blueberries, strawberries and coconut, among other goodies. I have also enjoyed the Electric Mermaid, with pitaya. I have been pleased with the quality of the fruits. They have a well curated selection of packaged drinks to go along with your bowl. There's a good amount of indoor seating, and when the weather suits, three outdoor tables.

    Super cute playa bowls location in White Plains. Have stoped by a few times now. Ordered on the app a few times and pick up was easy. Ordering inside the shop didn't take too long either. The portion size here is definitely the best one I have seen so far, the bowl is filled to the top! My go to order is the Nutella bowl with açaí base. I have tried the coconut base and it was delicious as well. They have indoor and outdoor seating options. The staff are very also friendly!

    I have been really impressed with the quality and service at this chopped salad provider. The first…read morething you will notice is how clean the food prep areas are, even during the lunch rush. I have gone with the suggested combos, the Cobb Chop, the Avocago, the Mexicana, the Chopped Asian, and the Chimichurri Steak. Most feature chicken, the Falafel-Osophy is their vegetarian offering and it is one of the best. The only one I might not care to repeat is the Chimichurri Steak, the flavor was great, the beef was a bit chewy. If you like spicy they have options. The portion size is good, and worth the price. I am starting to recognize the staff, which to me is a good thing, suggesting less turnover than a lot of places. There's a frequent flyer program that will get you a free salad after about 8-10 orders. There are four or five tables for four, and a counter with hightop chairs for solo diners. I wish they had a two top, as I do not care to sit so high, and I usually take a table. Most customers takeaway, so there is usually plenty of space, even when the place is humming. Recommended.

    Darn good salad, big enough for two people. BBQ Crunch had an ample amount of fresh romaine, corn…read morekernels, white cheddar, tortilla chips, avocado slices, black beans. They were generous with the breaded chicken cutlet bites. In hindsight I should have only dressed half the salad so I could save the rest for dinner or next day lunch. The portion is big, too much for me at one time but I had dumped the dressing already on all the salad so no saving what I couldn't eat. BTW the dressing was very tasty, more barbecue than zesty. Considering the size and ingredients I think $13.45 is a fairly reasonable price. Once you tax on the delivery service we used, taxes, tip it was $18. I would order again as there were many other salads the peaked my interest.

Service was incredible: they were patient with me as I tried to decide on what to order, ultimately going with an iced latte, pao de queijo and a coxinha, in my broken Portuguese. The coxinha reminded me of croquetas in Florida, a fried ball filled with delicious chicken and cheese. The pao de queijo, also amazing, just reminded me that Brazilians have the best ideas when it comes to bread! I did not order a sweet, but they had some very appealing brigadeiros and passion fruit mousse. They have a small seating area inside and out front, on the sidewalk. The inside seating area is filled with products from Brazil, showing that Araras, like its name suggests, is coffee AND more. There are a variety of products, like snacks and cooking staples, as well as skin care products and some small kitchen necessities (like stove-top coffee makers), reminding me of the importance of places like Araras for Brazilians living in the community who want to feel a slice of home.

This place felt a bit gloomy and down but either way I came in for a smoothie as I was in between work and needed a quick pick me upper that wouldn't take too much time and would feel me up. I ordered a Bango Boss with banana, flax seed, peanut butter, chocolate protein and almond milk. Loved that I was able to customize the chocolate protein and milk for a plant based one. Even though it was busy the smoothie came out pretty fast and while my first sip didn't have me dancing in place with my eyes closed, the smoothie did keep me held up during a super busy work day. I do wish it was slightly more chocolatey and you could also taste the peanut butter. Other than that great spot to get a smoothie or açaí bowl if you're in Scarsdale. Restrooms are available but located in the main building. You need a key to access them and to go up and elevator and finally land this sketchy floor to use the restroom. So just be sure to either hold off or know before you go :)

I'm not really a juice or smoothie person, but I was craving a thirst and that really felt like it would hit the spot (or at least something). There are a couple of smoothie places in WP so I decided to whip out Yelp to see which was the closest. Freckle's Juice was close by so I decided to order from them. First off, I had no idea that this was a Bronx-based business - that made me extra excited to try one of their selections. Browsing the menu, they have a nice variety of smoothies and juices and also guide you as to the benefits of some (immune boost, protein, etc). I was browsing and their Berry Pink stood out. This was one of their monthly specials and had a mix of strawberry, peach, orange, chia seeds, almonds, and coconut water. The smoothie was really good; the flavors worked well together and was still nice and cold even though I ordered delivery. Overall I was really impressed with Freckle's. While I seldom go for a smoothie, it's nice to know that this Bronx-born businesses has expanded to White Plains. I would definitely return for another beverage and to explore more of their menu.

My daughter took advantage of Freckles' 2-day Groupon deal and used it as her New Year's detox liquid boost. Turns out, her 6 Green Juices+6 Alkaline Smoothies were everything she wanted. Easily head to this City Center location in downtown White Plains on Level 3 to get your take-away pressed juices, smoothies or shots. The kid easily picked up her 12-pack with a complimentary reusable bag at that. I'd ask if this location also serves savory items like soups and bites similar to their Bronx location. There was a 'pick-up-by' hiccup with my daughter's order- but folks here managed to fixed that ASAP. There was some confusion from my daughter's part where she didn't select the correct location- but again, folks here prepped a brand new 12-pressed juice and smoothie pack to pick up New Year's Eve with no hassle. Thank you! I like this brand and particularly dig that a fly-by-night fluke doesn't own this company making it seem as if they're cut out for running a juice spot.
