Playa Bowls

Customer service was very good and drinks came out fast. On weekends be ready to wait. Was crowded and some patrons were getting impatient as if everything isn't made right there fresh. Be patient. The Aloha smoothie & Daylight detox were very good.

The first time I've tried it was at the Quarry Lake location and I recently visited the Ellicott City location at the grand opening. I didn't get there in time to be the first 50 customers for a free shirt, however that's OK; I got my playa bowl and cold brew! My favorite bowl is the coco nutella bowl and I add extra fruit to it - kiwi and mango. It's so good and refreshing! They have drink options from coffee to juices. As a creature of habit, I get the cold brew. There's something for everyone on the menu! Thank you Playa Bowls for opening a location in Howard County! I've been waiting for it and even asked in an IG posted once when asked what location do you wish one would open up. Talk about speaking it into fruition!

Welp, I'm 3 visits in and I continue to be very pleased... until this evening's visit. Plenty of FREE onsite parking, large sitting/ dining area, free wifi, detailed menu board, points club (Playa Club) for purchases, plentiful outdoor seating... What more could one ask for? Welp, I'll tell you shortly !!This evening I ordered Nutelloco Cocunut Bowl. I swapped Nutella for Peanut Butter.Everything started awesome as usual. They were busier than they've been when I normally visit and I completely understand, they're great!!I opted to grab a Playa Bowl for dinner and EPIC FAIL. The bowls are always a generous size w the freshest of fruits used. I love that they employ respectable young individuals that are the future. They are always on point w order accuracy and the wait is always short and fair.... not tonight!!And... all but 1.Now this was originally a 5 Star Review but then, that Bad Apple !!Thank Gawd I didn't post the original !!... the fact that I had time to write an entire review should be telling!!I ordered my Bowl at 7:34pm, I have proof. Rec'd at 8pm, I have proof. I was so hungry!!8:06pm, JULIE comes over to ask me to leave because they close at 8pm and she had more orders to finish. I said "Sure, I'll leave in 4 minutes, I'm just finishing my review" (that PLAYA BOWLS SENT ME).Julie said "Um, we closed at 8pm".I gracefully left as I'm finishing this edited review from my car in the dimly lit parking lot. I left my home many miles away to visit THIS establishment, waited almost 30 MINUTES and I can't have 4 minutes to safely finish your establishment review.I'm not gonna mention how Julie and company immediately began to talk trash about me as I approached the back door while other customers were still in there. Ok, gotcha Playa Bowls !Bad business!!I literally had 2 previous great visits before today !!Great "at 1st" Job Playa Bowls as this community needed you !!

Hidden gem! This is my go to spot for a guilty free treat. They have the best Açai bowls I've ever tried and you have the option to include protein powder in your base, which keeps you feeling full longer. They have other supplements like collagen which you can include or you can even build your own bowl. Service is usually fast and the employees are friendly. Although this place is pretty casual, there's a scenic lake at this location so on sunny days you can grab a treat and take a walk around the lake to add some ambiance.

The space is really cute and I had plenty of Açaí bowls. I usually get a traditional Açaí bowl and they have too many options to choice from. And they are made differently, then what I am used too. Now the taste was very unusual for me. The coconut flakes are big and the strawberry are cut in thick slices: they put very little honey in my bowl. Oh my strawberries and coconut flakes were extra. In which is usually included in a traditional Açaí bowl. And lastly my bowl melted like 10mins after I purchased it. Unfortunately I will not be returning

Went to go and checked the site and they said they were open and went all the way and they were closed .

I've attempted to DoorDash twice from here today and both times my order was missing the add on i paid for and was just strawberries and blueberries. I ordered the Nutella bowl with no bananas, no granola. Mango add, Nutella added. And there was no coconut or Nutella or add ons both times. When i called a guy answered the phone and passed the phone along and thinking the phone was muted the women he passed it too questioned was it muted then proceeded to act as if she couldn't hear me and telling him to just hang up. I've been ordering and getting bowls from here for years. This is the only time they've messed up and it's disappointing!!!!

I used to work in an office in Quarry Lake and I always remember the lunch options seeming plentiful but something always felt like it was missing. Now that Playa Bowls is here, I think Quarry Lake might have found its missing piece - a healthy food option! The inside has seen a major upgrade with bright murals covering the walls, trendy light fixtures, and plenty of spread out seating. The decor alone is really bringing some California vibes to Pikesville! The menu is vast and a bit overwhelming but the good thing is, most everything is customizable. Dairy-free and meat-free eaters will be happy to know that everything on the menu is vegan (except for the honey which can easily be omitted). Even though I'm the kinda girl who would normally pick a bagel over fruit for breakfast, I was pleasantly surprised that the Pura Vida açaí bowl actually left me feeling satisfied without feeling overly full. My sister made a custom, off-menu bowl that had half pitaya and half açaí as the base. We both loved how colorful our bowls were, especially the pitaya which was a beautiful, bright purple color. If you're looking for a healthy option in Quarry Lake, Playa Bowls has plenty to offer and their friendly staff will be happy to whip you up something yummy.

My first experience here a few weeks ago was fabulous so I came back and brought one of my daughters. She loved the fun murals on the walls and the pictures of surfing and water below the bar. As I said in my last review, the space is bright, clean, fun and there is a lot of room. They even have two bathrooms that are spacious and clean. The staff are warm, welcoming, helpful and friendly.I got the Acai power bowl (acai base with chocolate, peanut butter, granola and bananas) and my daughter got a strawberry and banana smoothie. The acai bowl was again fantastic. Smooth, soft, sorbet-like texture to the acai and perfectly complemented by the toppings. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 is that my daughters smoothie was quite bland and lacking in flavor. I don't know if it was the coconut milk they use, or if the strawberries weren't that flavorful, but it was a bit of a disappointment. I would go back for sure but would stay away from the smoothies and stick with the acai!

It's different. Gotta learn a new lingo, menu and attitude. Fruit and fruit in a filling bowl. It works. And you are on the Quarry Lake for a nice view and the geese squaking.
