I have to say, Playa Bowls is still my favorite bowl spot in the area, but I'm starting to question…read morewhat's going on with the quality control and customer service. Two weeks ago, I ordered two bowls and paid extra to add peanut butter and banana to both. The bananas were missing from both bowls. Yes, I called and asked for my $2 back. It wasn't about the money--it was the principle of paying for something that wasn't included. I did get a full refund on one bowl. Which was greatly appreciated. Today, June 9, I ordered the same two bowls. I tipped 20% (the default option), and the bowls themselves were made correctly. Unfortunately, the customer service was disappointing. The employee behind the counter never greeted me, never thanked me, and seemed far more interested in her personal phone call than helping customers. When I walked in, she briefly put her phone down, handed me my order without saying a word, then immediately picked her phone back up and walked to the back to continue her conversation. I'll definitely continue coming here because I genuinely like the product, but based on these experiences, I won't be tipping going forward. Good food can keep customers coming back, but good customer service matters too.

The variety of acai based bowls is kind of limited, but typically they're pretty good. The service…read moreis what's interesting- it's so hit or miss. I went in one time and the girl at the counter seemed like she didn't want to be there and another time there was a young man who was single-handedly taking orders and making bowls so efficiently despite there having been a line to the door that I felt I only waited a minute or two. He was crushing it! So service really just depends on who's working, but I also will add that I've tried calling several times to ask a question/place a phone order and they have never picked up so that was also a bit annoying

There was only one person working. Very suite and minimal customer service required. Cute decor on the inside. Cute wall bar seating option. Very quiet on a hot Sunday afternoon. Maybe I will come back on a weekday. The menu has so many yummy choices. I wanted something refreshing with blue spirulina. I got the wellness High Tide bowl. It sounded refreshing, but to be honest it was extremely bitter. I know with frozen fruit it could either be too sweet or not enough sweetness. It was pretty! I will definitely try another option next time.

Prices are barely worse than the stand alone stores with the Airport premium. Assortment of other cooler goods gives you a few options. I've always been lucky on timing where they don't have a heavy line or backlog of orders so are quick. A welcome add to Concourse D which has abjectly terrible coffee choices.

I ordered the almond butter bowl, it was huge and really the same price I would pay at home for a bowl that size, maybe even less expensive. Unfortunately, no pictures because the almond butter on top was dripping all over my hands, the sides of the bowl, lid, and bag by the time I sat back down. Staff was friendly but too soft spoken for a busy airport. No seating, just order and pick up, so finding a seat in the busy airport area was also a challenge on a Friday.

While the door to the spot is a bit confusing, the quality of the smoothies remains stellar. The service was super friendly and while the spot is small it has everything you want. I like that the to-go orders are placed in a fridge unlike some places, which keeps your smoothie cold. The app is super convenient for ordering ahead. Personally, I prefer South Block to all the other smoothie and bowl places out there. The quality is always consistent and the smoothies are thick and not too thin.

The smoothie itself was just okay--not something I'd really crave or feel compelled to come back for. What stood out more was the service experience. There was a male and female working behind the counter, and both myself and another customer were standing at the self-order kiosks trying to place our orders. The screens were frozen and not working, and the employee acknowledged they were down--but neither of us were greeted or assisted, even though it was clear we were waiting. The female employee was also on a personal phone call during this time. After I walked over to let her know the kiosks weren't functioning, she confirmed they were down, asked the caller to hold, and then set her phone aside to take both my order and the other customer's order. Overall, the issue wasn't just the malfunctioning kiosks--it was the lack of basic acknowledgment or greeting while we stood there waiting, especially since the staff was already aware the system wasn't working. Once engaged, she did help, but the initial customer experience felt disorganized and inattentive.

I drank the green Avoclada smoothie, had the Thai chicken salad with a jerk chicken wrap. This place is pretty big on the inside with lot of seating. This was early in the morning around 8:30 am. I was surprised at this place was open but they service was pretty fast and efficient. I did not like the jerk chicken wrap but the Thai salad and the smoothie made up for the score. The jerk Chicken wrap just did not taste like jerk chicken at all

Then -- like a slow-loading website -- the flavors finally kicked in. By the end, I got it. Would I order it again? Maybe. Would I complain about it to someone my age? Absolutely. The place is trendy. Possibly too trendy. The kind of spot where the chairs are stylish but you're not sure they care about your lower back. That said, the bartender absolutely saved the experience. Great personality, sharp sense of humor, fast as hell, and clearly running the show. She stayed busy the entire time and still managed to make everyone feel taken care of -- which is a rare skill these days. Service was quick, food was solid once it found itself, and the bartender deserves a raise or at least a medal. Good stop for a layover bite. Trendy, yes. But I survived -- and that's saying something.
