Playa Bowls - Health food restaurant in East Brunswick - 587 NJ-18, USA

Good evening, I purchased two Nutella bowls with extra Nutella and they are barely filled. I am unhappy with the outcome of spending $26.66 to two half full bowls. This is not right, at all. I will not be returning to this playa bowl. I am very unhappy with the product received. I did send an email the same night it happened and no response! Update: In response to your reply, I did email you on September 21st before I put this review up.

Went through rt 18 and found this place . My wife and kids love fruits and wanted to try these bowls . We ordered Goji . Service was quick . Nice indoors and lots of seats around . Price was ok . Got a bowl for about 12$ which isn’t very expensive. Lovely presentation and we were waiting to eat the whole bowl. It was tasty . The only issue we had was with the crushed ice at the botttom . It was so cold when we digged in at bottom that our tooth froze .. wish they don’t put crushed ice at the bottom .. we also got sore throat right after we ate the bowl . If not for the crushed ice , I think it’s a brilliant food to eat … could have give. 4 stars , if not for our sore throat 😉 nice place overall…

Do not go to the Playa bowls in East Brunswick NJ. for some reason they dont make their bowls like other locations. Last ones I purchased were 3/4 full at best. I ordered 4 different bowls and one had so much honey it was like glue, another one had no granola in it. as you can see one had a few strawberries and not even set up, just thrown in the bowl The 1st time i went there I had them. fix it, this time someone else picked them up, what a big Waste od $ 47. 00.. Never again at this location.

I received 2 gift cards for Christmas for Playa Bowls. We tried using the gift cards online & on the app, both said it wasn’t accepting gift cards at this time. We called the store to see if they can make an acception & take the order over the phone. However, they refused because of “policy.” Use Marlboro location, as they take orders over the phone & have way better customer service.

Around the area, haven’t had Playa for awhile so I decided to stop in to get a smoothie. Not very busy, about 4-5 staff members working. Waited with my kids. After about 25-minutes of waiting, and noticing others receiving their orders before me, I asked if my smoothie was ready? The girl was nice, apologized, and advised they forgot. Ok, it happens. Maybe, next time, staff can be more aware of which customers are waiting and which orders haven’t been fulfilled. Or they can communicate, “hey, I apologize for the delay, order should be ready in the next 10-minutes. Communication is key for great customer service. I would have easily understood if maybe they advised me, “I’m sorry I’m running a little behind thank you for your patience.” But there were a reasonable amount of staff. The volume was balanced. Not busy nor slow. If 1 out 5 staff members would have inquired about me waiting, all would have been resolved in a timely manner. Rather, all failed to notice me waiting. My reason for rating a one star is because after waiting I noticed how dirty things were kept. Garbage left in multiple places, straws, used containers, cups, straw wrappers, flies in the refrigerated area where drinks are kept. They had an umbrella left in the middle of the entrance which is an accident waiting to happen. Outside also is dirty. Used spoons and left over food spilled from other people eating. If there is sufficient staff, one member of team should attend to at least cleaning the tables and picking up. The appearance is the foundation and impression of when customers come in, especially for those who are waiting. Would you trust a restaurant making your food that is unkept? Hope you guys consider this review and make improvements.

My season Pumpkin smoothie To Go order was ready on time. It was served with a smile and the atmosphere was so pleasant! All in all, it definitely made me want to come back! This smoothie was sooo delicious, I'll definitely be getting this again!

I got a regular açaí and a banana bowl here and was very happy with the purchase. They have an extensive menu so I would recommend looking at a menu before going in. The bowls were packed with toppings and were very fresh. The shop has a very laid back atmosphere and had good vibes. I recommend stopping in!

Very helpful and kind. Feels welcoming when I come here. Makes it easier to walk past a burger joint and choose healthy!
