I saw a recent review that said “Great food, horrible service,” and I couldn’t agree more. Playa Bowls never disappoints when it comes to food- their bowls are consistently delicious, and the ingredients always taste fresh.
However, even though the food is always great, the service is consistently disappointing. I understand that most of the staff are teenagers, and no one expects perfection, but their customer service could really use some work.
A few times, I’ve come in around 7:30 PM (they close at 8:00 PM), and it feels like they’ve already mentally closed for the night. They’re mopping floors around customers, only offering to-go orders, and one of the first things they say is, “Our lobby is closed.” They won’t make smoothies because they don’t feel like cleaning the blenders and they won’t make certain bowls because the smoothie bases have been put away and/or they don’t want to prepare more.
On my most recent visit, an employee slipped on the freshly mopped floor while handing a customer her to-go order- yet another reason why the floors should probably be mopped after closing. He fell, got up, and handed that customer the same crumpled bag that had just hit the floor. The customer was polite about the situation and didn’t say anything about her presumably very disheveled bowls. Shortly after, another employee came over and told them, “Our lobby is closed.” What “lobby”? Lol. You’re going to hand a customer their to-go order like that – without an apology – and then basically tell them to leave? I know the employee didn’t intend to fall, and thankfully he didn’t appear to be hurt, but the entire situation was just incredibly off-putting.
If the store truly wants to stop serving customers at 7:30 PM, they should simply post that as the closing time. Everyone understands wanting to go home at the end of a shift, but it genuinely feels like the staff are trying to turn away business after a certain hour- and it’s a shame because the food itself is really good.

I was totally let down visiting this smoothie shop this morning for breakfast. I ordered the maple brown sugar oatmeal bowl and a cold pressed juice. Before I mention the negative, let me clarify that my juice was great! No complaints there. However, when I received my oatmeal bowl, a lot of complaints began. One, they didn’t give me a full bowl of oatmeal. I paid $10 for an oatmeal bowl that was literally halfway full. Two, the presentation of my bowl was simply horrible (See photos). It’s as if they made my oatmeal in my same serving bowl. Third, the taste was super bland and the oatmeal was basically mush!!! I spent all together $22 for this “meal” and had to turn around and buy another breakfast before work due to the dissatisfaction.

This is the first time I have eaten here. We took our grandson out to lunch, and Playa Bowls is the place he suggested.
This appears to be a vegan place that serves breakfast. It was lunchtime, but I ordered oatmeal topped with strawberries and blueberries. The berries were fresh and sweet. The oatmeal was good.
Unfortunately, I ordered a smoothie with carrots and ginger. There was way too much ginger. I couldn’t finish it.
The flatware and straws here are compostable. That’s good.

GREAT FOOD, horrible service.
Literally just people sitting on their phones and no one actually working except one nice man.
Absolutely unacceptable and would highly recommend reconsidering staffing.
We will not be back
*Update , Here is the response from I’m guessing the “owner” (sent from iPhone), instead of apologizing or actually checking the cameras*
We waited 14 minutes for ZERO smoothies.

Not a bad place to check out on a hot day! I never tried this but my daughter took me on a date to try it. I had the Goldie mango (i think) & she had the banana & peanut butter bowl ( can’t remember the name exactly).
I enjoyed my bowl all of the ingredients worked & tasted very well together. I would def try again.
My daughter didn’t like hers as much because it was too much banana I believe the mix at the bottom of the bowl included banana as well as granola & added bananas at the top she said it was missing something maybe chocolate or something. Overall not a bad place to try out! Beware if u don’t eat it all at the same time & it’s a very hot day out it’s a high possibility it will melt & it won’t be the same after.
Service was ok nothing spectacular. But we got our food in a timely manner so not really any complaints.

Amazing and yet satisfying is all I can say about this little place that is tucked in at the Quarry Lake vicinity.
I have never tried anything like before, but I’ve seen these bowls at other locations. There are two entrances in the front and rear.
There is indoor seating, plus a cute small lounge area towards the rear. There is a restroom available.
I wish I had spent time looking at the menu because they do get a lot of traffic in and out, and I didn’t want to hold up the line. All I know is I wanted mango, which is my favorite fruit. For my treat, I ordered the Coco Craze minus the coconut flakes and ordered the Electric Mermaid for hubby.
These tiny bowls are the size of ice cream sundae, but they are packed fresh ingredients and leave you mighty full.
The decor is quite the cute, with their tropical theme of surf boards, wooden inspired tables, and chairs, plus the painted murals of waves and tropical leaves.
The honey was very sweet and overly charged my taste buds. I will say I will try it again; their price point for some items start at about $9 and up. If you want a heart and healthy treat, definitely check them out. We received the greatest service, and it is hard to come by sometimes at some places.

I went to this location for the first time Saturday and decided to come back again on Monday. Two totally different experiences Saturday was friendlier and made the bowl so much better. Monday was not the best the bowls come with two layers of granola my bowl today barely had any so much so I had to come back in and get more and barely any pineapples on the bowl today. The staff should produce consistent results but that is not shown.

I travel for work and often find myself trying different smoothie/bowl shops especially the local ones. Playa Bowls is that chain that just doesn’t miss! When I don’t want to take a chance on a new spot, I just find a Playa Bowls and know they’re consistent and delicious. This spot was no different. First time stopping by this location and they were polite, fast, and the made my food as if I was in New Jersey or Florida locations. Definitely worth stopping in you won’t be disappointed!
