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!

Credit to Freckles creators for also blending and blitzing their way up to White Plains from their…read moreBronx flagship. 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.

I honestly don't know what came over me, but I was at work the other day and was just really…read morecraving a smoothie. 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.

You practically get an entire meal in a bowl- I mean...is there really anything better than that?…read moreSoBol has you covered with a few types of Bowls, Smoothies and even Waffle(s). Menu is small with a couple of blueprint items- but I'm sure you can customize anything to your liking ranging in Kids, Regular & Super sizes for the Açaí Bowls. I was a bit doubtful when I saw their unripe Banana display. But in the end, ingredients were very good: fruits were all ripe- even the banana used in my bowl. Had the Regular Original with the Shredded Coconut, diced Strawberries, Granola, etc- which was very good and blended extra thick. Then they topped it off with crumbles of crunchy Granola and a honey drizzle. Score! It's a nice grab and go little spot and service was very pleasant- Thank you! \(~o~)/. And if you want to linger, just scoot in by their small counter. These guys really made it easy for everybody. By the way... I got my Bowl to go and gotta admit, even with several stops I made, my bowl traveled well- because even when I got home, that thing was still intact. North White Plains got what they deserved- with their very own Açaí Bowl spot to boot!!!

Thank you, Nikita! My husband and I worked at a couple of Michelin star restaurants when NOVELLE…read moreCUISINE was all the rage. It was an exercise and torture. I'm sure you've never heard of him because you're too young, but we worked for JAQUES MAXIMUM. A little Napoleon that could get the same results even better results without screaming constantly! Nothing like being the only woman in the kitchen and having a bunch of Frenchman, screaming obscene words at you in both English and French. Why I tolerated that I still don't know I really wanted to learn. I was on the line with Alfred Portale, and was his commis. He opened his extremely successful restaurant after Jacque decided he had had enough and went back to France. He came every two weeks straight from the airport and started screaming before he even saw anyone down the long hallway. I'm truly not kidding. Alfred warned me don't look the CHEF in the eye. I think that's the first thing he ever said to me. Then the Anita Hill hearings happens and the backlash was incredible. They would sexually harass me every day and then ask me was I going to sue them? I'm not a violent person, but I felt like taking a kitchen knife and never mind. This was my first job in a good Kitchen and the manager had cocaine running out of his nose when he was telling me that I was only worth three dollars an hour. I didn't go to some fantasy school. I went to the school of hard knocks. My husband and I spoke to Mark a very nice guy, at least to us. Most people don't want to get any feedback and that's a big mistake. We gave him. Our feedback thanked him and left it at that he thanked us as well. We really were restaurant consultants. It's so easy to see what's wrong in the kitchen and what's dangerous in the kitchen at first glance and then when you dig deeper, oh my gosh, it's a wonder we even eat out anymore. If people saw what went on behind the scenes, they would never ever eat out, but we know ROOT 2 RISE is not we repeat not like that. You also sell some great crackers. We can't find anywhere else. We kept the box it is called BETTER BUCKWHEAT. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS AND NOT TERRIBLY OVERPRICED. I think someone might be making mistake when stalking the shelves for crackers and other snacks. Two wonderful ladies were sitting right in front of where the snacks are and when they started looking, we found a few items that are not vegan at all. We don't know how to send this privately, otherwise we would. Phone is terribly compromised. We love your Restaurant and wanted to succeed more than you can believe. We both have been vegan since 1996. We were both vegetarians at about age 11. We really appreciate your great work. Sorry we are terrible at technology and also the phone. She ain't so great.

Smells and tastes like a pile of gym clothes. But that samosa bowl and soup? Incredible and cannot wait to get it again.

Thanks, Moshira! I really enjoyed the Pureganic burger. It's a really tasty/juicy meat substitute. My wife got the nachos and the mediterranian sampler and my mom got the stuffed cabbage. Everything was really delicious. Shout out to the strawberry lemonade and the fresh squeezed orange juice made to order! For dessert, we got the frosted carrot cupcake and pumpkin muffin. Sweet, moist and delicious. Overall, you'll eat a lot of tasty food and walk out feeling great. 10/10 will be coming back with my vegan sister.

The employee at the register was very friendly and knowledgeable as I was asking multiple questions. The overnight oats were delicious which I had for breakfast with some maple syrup, raisins and other flavors. I also got an iced tea which tasted a bit sour-something was off with it-I told the employee and he immediately asked if he could make me another drink--so he made me a wonderful cappuccino. This was fantastic--rather than just saying oh well sorry-he offered me an alternative which not all places would do. This was so appreciated! So I am only giving 4 starts because of the cost of the food (but all the food looks fresh and tasty) I had an overnight oats and it was $15-but I do also understand they are using fresh ingredients so cost is higher. I will absolutely be back because of the wonderful service and a perfect place to sit and do some work. I want to come back during lunch time to get some of their lunch options--salad bar, grain bowls etc.
