    Shack In The Back is the perfect addition to Conshy. Actually just what Conshy was lacking, a juice spot with bowls and smoothies. Shack In The Back filled the void! I ordered an acai bowl. It was delicious! The acai was frozen and a great texture. Nice and smooth, not watery. The fruit was fresh. The variety is nice.. I appreciate a healthier breakfast/snack option in this area. Thoroughly enjoyed and I will definitely be back!

    Yummm! Loved this spot, so glad I went. Highly nutritious meal for a great price. The staff was super friendly & the establishment was super clean with ample parking. When I go back I want to try the coffee! I signed up for the rewards program too!

    Pricey, but very good smoothies and bowls. Great on a hot day. Definitely a healthier alternative to ice cream!

    I wasn't sure about this place at first but it is amazing!…read more Get the tanghulu. It is fresh here and super refreshing! You can't go wrong with any fruit, but the strawberry was perfect. The yogurt is also great, super dense and very flavorful. All the fruits they serve here are fresh and juicy, and their yogurt bowls would be perfect for a warm day. I'm excited to try their other bowls as well (i.e. acai, etc). Amazing spot and a great addition to Ardmore!

    We passed by Chums during its soft opening. My family loves yogurt (everyone except me), so we…read moredecided to drop in. We were immediately greeted with free samples: small cups of their signature yogurt creations and some candied fruit lollipops. We were searching for a dessert place, so would this 'cold-strained' yogurt satisfy our craving? The jury is still out. I'd use it more as a meal replacement (more like Playa Bowls type) than a dessert. If you're looking for cold like ice cream or frozen yogurt, Chums isn't quite up to that task. But as far as the yogurt itself, I really enjoyed it. It was flavorful and very dense. The cold-straining process created that denseness, which to me is better than the texture of regular yogurt. You can customize your toppings to make for a very satisfying treat. The base price for a yogurt bowl is a little pricey ($13 for our customized bowl), but it was enough for a family of four to share after a meal; and no one cried for more 'dessert'. Cute store. Kids will love it.

    I strongly suggest coming here!…read more They have an extensive menu that has something for everybody. My family all ordered different things and agreed that we had a good experience. I have a sweet tooth, and they had so many healthy options I knew I would enjoy. If you don't normally crave healthy foods, this is the best place for you. I was excited when looking at the menu, not disappointed (which is rare for me and health-based restaurants). The ambience is so uplifting and it's decorated so nicely! It seems that they are going for a West Coast vibe, and as a life long Californian resident, they nailed it! Just seeing the storefront and walking in improved my mood. Finally, the customer service was stellar. It was very personal and I felt welcomed and comfortable despite having never been! It really felt as though I was a regular customer. Everyone was so so friendly! I'll be on the lookout for a location in California!

    I try to be very careful with reviews & not penalize a small business for my personal tastes. But I…read morealso rely on Yelp to give me honest reviews & I must do the same. My 1st time here, I'm glad I had a gift certificate, but still feel it was wasted. I have another location near my home, I will try that one in the future. I ordered the Buddha Bowl -a WARM bowl with no tomatoes due to a medical dietary restriction, but not an allergy (thankfully!) I posted my receipt to indicate I ordered "no tomatoes" yet you see from the picture I have a pile of tomatoes on my order. I took it back to my office and scooped them out. A small annoyance, but fine, this did not affect my star rating. Let's get to the actual bowl. I ordered a warm bowl for many specific reasons. The young lady gave me my bowl. It was wonderfully overstuffed to the point that you couldn't even get the lid on it. I'm thinking, "bonanza!" She offered me another lid to try, I wasn't able to carry it out because you could not snap the lid on. I said no worries, I will sit & take a few bites to eat it down so I can get the lid on. I took one bite of the chicken and it was ice cold, nearly frozen. Maybe my teeth are extra sensitive, but this was the coldest bite of chicken ever. Beyond refrigerator cold. I'm hammering home how cold this chicken was because I turned my neck to look up to make sure I ordered a WARM bowl! That was an instant turn off, I took the dressing out and I was able to get the lid to fit at that point. While I'm driving back to work, I call my wife to ask her if she would like to take this bowl and she laughed at me and said no thank you. (we work at the same place.) When I think I'm getting a warm bowl, for me that means warm protein. Even if I have a salad, I want my protein to be warm. I guess that's my very personal preference , but it was disappointing. It's not meeting the expectation. But that's STILL not even why I'm giving it three stars, lol. The reason why I'm giving it three stars?? The bowl was not good! I would never order this again or anything like it. The bowl is this very deep and heavy serving of riced cauliflower. Way too much cauliflower for the small amount of toppings. It's basically cauliflower and greens. The cauliflower was warm. But also 100% bland, as in not seasoned in ANY way. It's astonishing. As if shows like Chopped and TOP Chef don't exist where chefs are criticized about their lack of salt and lack of seasoning. This is why I'm giving it three stars. I cannot in good conscience overlook that this tastes like you're in the hospital and you're on a restricted diet. I don't understand who eats this food. Chickpeas out the container, avocado sliced out of its skin, tomatoes out the container, cucumbers out the crate, and cauliflower out its package. Then you assembled it and gave it to me. What am I paying for? What are you selling? Your ability to assemble? No salt or pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, seasonings, herbs, spices- you did not do anything to any ingredient! I had to get dressing from a colleague because even the balsamic vinaigrette that comes with was bland. I'm going on and on because I'm frustrated with establishments taking money for doing the absolute minimum. You're a restaurant, you need to actually do something to the food, or don't offer it. Stick to the fruit bowls! And I will try that with the remainder of my gift card balance. Now I have to figure out how to choke down this terrible bowl that was supposed to serve as my lunch and dinner. I'm just really aggravated. If you made it this far, thank you for following my rant to the end. I was just venting at some point but oh well, here we are.

I love smoothies and bowls, so I was looking forward to it opening, and decided to check it out this week. I stopped in with someone else and we looked at their large overhead menu, which had a multitude of items including bowls, smoothies and juices. I decided to get the coco-loco smoothie while the person I was sitting with got the "it's bananas" banana bowl. My coco-loco smoothie was great! It was made up of bananas, cacao powder, peanut butter, coconut flakes, dark chocolate chips and almond milk. Really good! Great ratio of ingredients. The peanut butter and chocolate flavors both stood out. They also drizzled someone peanut butter on the side of the cup, which was a nice touch. I tried some f the banana bowl, which was also spectacular. The bananas were nicely whipped and the fruit including bananas, strawberries and blueberries on top of the whip were fresh. Someone at home picked up a coco-loco smoothie for me on Friday and I went back today after first going on Thursday. I got the same smoothie both times, but it was not as good as on Thursday (when I first went), but still tasty. Altogether, Goodness Bowls serves great smoothies and bowls. It is a great addition to the Narberth and Lower Merion areas. I will be back soon!

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.
