I absolutely love Jamba Juice!!…read more I was excited to be landing at BWI in the Southwest Terminal to get a smoothie and impossible sandwich, but they were closed when I arrived due to some type of equipment error. Boy was I disappointed. So today I left a little bit earlier so I could go to their Baltimore location on Security Boulevard and Whitehead. I was excited that it was a drive thru as I was limited on time. I was able to place my order right away, but it took at least 5 minutes for someone to come to window to take my payment. But I realized it was because they wanted to have all of my order ready when they greeted me. I ordered my favorite pb & banana protein smoothie, add chocolate, and an impossible handwich. I went miles out of my way, and every sip and bite was worth it.

Coincidentally, I will be going to the Playa Bowls in Burtonsville today for lunch! I love Playa…read moreBowls (see my 5-star review of the Burtonsville one). That's the only location within 10 miles of my home. The only other location of Playa Bowls I've been to was the Baltimore County one by Quarry Lake. Yesterday, I reviewed the out of town P pick in 2025 alphabet series. Representing the runner up to the out of town pick, P is for Playa Bowls. I visited this location on Friday, December 26. I had a deal for a free peppermint iced coffee with bowl purchase. I had visited my parents in PA for Christmas and was coming back into town. I saw this location wasn't too far off 695. I had never been to Quarry Lake and is a nice area. I was here for one of those weird very late lunch around 4 PM, but I wanted the deal and the timing was right. It was pretty dead around here as it was the day after Christmas. I parked in a parallel spot right in the front; they also have a parking lot in the back. Staff was nice. I paid for some strawberry bowl with peppermint to get the free seasonal iced coffee. They didn't have any issue getting the deal to work. I waited at one of their seats near the food station. This location is a lot bigger than the Burtonsville one. They made the bowl first, and then they said we're out of the flavoring for the coffee, so it'd just be a black coffee. I said that wasn't the same as what I wanted or paid for. They apologized saying that their shipments come in on Thursday, but it was Christmas so shipments didn't come. So, it made sense why they were out. But I think perhaps they could've been more prepared and gotten extra shipment on Thursday, 12/18. They did say I could switch out for a smoothie. I said I don't want a smoothie, I'm already having this fruity bowl. He said I could pick any drink I wanted. I got some juice cleanse drink that was normally $8.99. I figured that could be good for me plus I wanted to ideally get their most expensive tier drink in lieu of not getting the iced coffee. The bowl was delicious per normal. Fresh strawberries, banana, granola, chocolate, peppermint, etc. all great. As for the juice drink, it was some cayenne fruit juice. It was kind of weird, had a bit of a kick, not my cup of tea. I drank it, but really would've liked the iced coffee better. Thankfully, I had some water in the car to wash down the strange juice. So, I was kind of annoyed. They should've known and warned me before I paid. I'm not sure I would've gone with Playa Bowl if they had been out of the coffee; that the catalyst to go down there was the free iced coffee deal. In spite of that negative, like Burtonsville location, the bowls are great, staff is nice, and they did try to accommodate with free any drink.

To my surprise, it's Black-owned, which made me even more excited to stop in and support! I ordered the watermelon mint smoothie, and it was exactly what I needed on a hot summer day--light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. I also noticed they have a huge selection of Italian ice, including some served in an actual watermelon bowl, which looked so fun and perfect for the summer. I'll definitely be trying one of those on my next visit! This is the kind of spot I'll be coming back to all summer long. If you're looking for a refreshing treat, I definitely recommend giving them a try!

The young lady at the front during my visit was super friendly and helpful! Definitely check them out if you're in the area

But we're hungry and walking around to see what else was around while waiting and this gem we stumbled upon.

I had the avocado toast with a hard boiled egg...shoulda got 2 eggs. Wife got a tomato, mozzarella with prosciutto toast. All were delicious and presentation was first class. Hopefully this spot makes it and we can come back for another meal.

Finding street parking nearby was quick and convenient, and upon entering, I was immediately impressed by the vibrant, energetic, and colorful interior. While the customer service was excellent, the beverage unfortunately fell short of expectations. I ordered the **Açaí Energy smoothie ($10)** and found it remarkably bland. It was difficult to tell if this was a one-off preparation issue or if it was made according to the standard recipe, but it did not deliver the flavor profile expected for the price point. While I highly appreciate the welcoming staff and inviting atmosphere, I likely won't be returning to purchase this item again.

Entering into this eatery I was met with a earthly lively feel by the decor and view. The vibe was clean and fresh mixed with the greetings from the attentive staff. Beings that it is Tuesday, I assume its the reason for it being mellow and not so crowded, however it is lunch time and its not busy. There were a few tables full of healthy minded folks with seemingly quiet conversations. I enjoyed the salad. It could have used a little more dressing which is a lot for me to say, as I use very little dressing on my salads. Overall I will return.

First time getting açaí in some years, and my first time at Playa! I had a great time. The decor is…read moreso cute and fun. The menu is clear and lays out what you'll be getting. Another huge plus is that there is a free parking garage across the street street for the retail spaces, so that was nice to not have to worry about that. I got the Nutella Açaí bowl and an oatmeal bowl for my friend as part of their BOGO deal. We love a good coupon over here!! The açaí wasn't as sweet as I wanted, but the Nutella was a great addition. If I come back I would add more toppings and try the pitaya. I will say the bowl was smaller than I was expecting so unless you get a smoothie or the oatmeal bowl don't expect to be full from eating one bowl. Customer service was very good, no issues there at all. Overall it was very good and I would def go back!
