I am obsessed with acai bowls. I've been to a lot of acai places in the Philadelphia and Phila…read moresuburban area. So much so that, I suppose, some of the teenaged employees are, Idk, leaving the acai out for too long or something, and I've actually been made physically ill from other acai shops.. I'm proud to say Playa Bowls has never done that to me. And this Playa has always gotten my annoying custom order exactly right. I add a lot of toppings, get a mixed base, so I know it's a pain, but it comes out perfect every time. And unlike some other places, their mango is always sweet and the chunks are never too gigantic to chew. Love this place, so many choices, I've got to start trying some of the other options, I just love my go-tos so much, haha.

Disappointing. I frequently go to this location but usually during the day. This was the second…read moretime I went around 8:15-8:20 and experienced an issue. Both times the staff is cleaning and packing up, seem rushed and unpleasant as if they are annoyed I decided to come in at this time. Most likely they are trying to get ahead of things so at 9 they can leave. I understand that, however, if the store closes at 9 customers should be able to get items until at least 15 mins prior. The last time they actually said they could not give me anything because the acai was too hard. Tonight I arrived approx 8:20 and after my bowl was made the staff member gave me my bowl and said sorry we are out of honey. I find that hard to believe. The store opens tomorrow morning and honey will be needed for orders. My guess is it was already put away and she didn't feel like getting it out again. Very disappointing and unprofessional. The bowls are not the same, in my opinion, without honey. Please educate staff on customer service and the time they can clean/pack up, not make orders. If orders are limited after 8:15 please post that so customers are aware to arrive before that time or they risk not getting what they want. Thank you

The peanut butter one was supposed to come with mango that was missing, and the protein ones were supposed to have had walnuts that were missing. They also put honey and chocolate sauce on the peanut butter one which was not on the menu and not what we wanted. The açaí itself was made with ice, completely flavorless, and we were wondering if there was any actual açaí in them. Some of the worst açaí bowls we'd had, and we didn't finish them. It also took the person helping us a very long time to make them. For about $13 a bowl, this was very disappointing. Maybe the smoothies are better, but we wouldn't go back.

Was looking for a fruit smoothie after a long day of walking around Philly on the first warm spring…read moreday of the year. Found this place on a random search while near Washington Square and tried it on a whim. They had a number of different options, including smoothies with/without protein or coconut milk/frozen yogurt and various bowls. I was feeling something with mango, so went with the Caribbean Swizzle Smoothie. Tasted fresh, unquestionably quality ingredients, nice and cold, thick smoothie consistency, and not too watery. There was only one gentleman working and a bit of a line given the warm day, but they were incredibly nice - clearly working hard - and the drink was well worth the little wait. It was also very reasonably priced - $7.99 for the small, $8.99 for the large (worth the extra dollar for me). I've been a number of times since, and this is now my go-to fruit smoothie place in the city. I have a soft spot for mango, so the Caribbean Swizzle is still my fave. I also love that it's located right on the corner of Washington Square and just a block from Independence Hall - perfect for a day walking around the city and a relaxing day in the park/Old City. I rarely write reviews these days, but felt strongly enough about this place to post this. Highly recommend!

Environment It's a rather small store but it doesn't offer enough of a seating area to qualify as a "study spot" in ny opinion. Usually there's no more than one of two employees working at a time and I've never had to wait in line to pick up an order. Food They offer a few different ready to grab items such as granola bars, bananas, etc. However, the real gem is their smoothies. I've tried a few but the star of the menu is the Island Vibes smoothie. THE SAUCE While they wouldn't qualify as my favorite smoothie store in the city, they easily fill the void in the Manayunk/Roxborough area. I can't suggest all their offerings but their smoothies are consistently good.

Thank God I paid with a bank card because I showed them that it just went through. They scrolled through 40 minutes worth of orders and they still couldn't find it so they just came back what I paid and I lost my reward. And also because there are no pennies now they were to stiff me on the last few bits of change. Do not bother with this place. Any of their locations. If it'll happen to one it'll happen to all. The only reason they don't get one star is because of the young man that worked there. He was running up and down and getting supplies it seemed to be the only one doing anything.

The gentleman at the corner was really nice and helped me figure out the menu. They had some fridges with some fresh juices as well. My smoothie was really delicious but I think it's just a little expensive so I can't make this place a habit. Definitely want to come back and try their smoothie bowls and the sandwiches/wraps.
