“Love the bowls and smoothies, healthier alternative to ice cream once in a while. We have bowls for dinner sometimes, they are so filling!
Staff is friendly and gets stuff done quickly.
It's mostly high-school and college kids so please be kind. If you don't have time to wait, order online! It's a great option when u are in a rush.
Enjoy“

“We love soul bowls! Always a great experience and even got a discount for my birthday! I would recommend trying soul bowls !“

“Soul bowls is a charming, aesthetic spot and they make the best bowls!!! The staff is so friendly and welcoming as soon as you walk in. They layer the bowls unlike other places so you still have fruit and toppings when you get to the middle and bottom of the bowl. So fresh and delicious and they even have a kids size! It’s my daughters’ and my favorite place for bowls!“

“5 Stars : Would Give More if I Could!
This sushi place is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with such warmth! it’s a sweet, cozy environment that makes you feel right at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and genuinely seem to care about your experience.

The menu is full of delicious options, and the quality is top-tier. The sashimi especially stands out—so fresh, perfectly cut, and just melts in your mouth. Every bite feels thoughtfully prepared. I’ve been to quite a few sushi spots, but this one truly stands out. If I could give more stars, I absolutely would. Highly recommend!“

“As a Californian am on the constant look out for excellent Mexican food. I found the place! The food is authentic, delicious and consistently good!

Zee the Manager is a gem, friendly and provides the BEST customer service.

Their specialty are the birria tacos—you won’t be disappointed. Its a large serving and you’ll lick your fingers throughout.

I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. Clean, excellent service and delicious food.“

“I often stop by Method Cafe during my lunch break, and I can’t recommend it enough! My go-to is the Mozzarella Pesto Sandwich, which is simply perfect every time. The combination of fresh mozzarella and flavorful pesto hits the spot. Plus, the atmosphere is chill and cool, making it a great place to unwind. If you're looking for a delicious lunch in a relaxed setting, this is the place to be!“

“I love Juice Hub! Every time I stop by, the juices are made fresh to order and always taste amazing. You can really tell they use top tier ingredients because the flavors are vibrant and clean, and delicious. They always customize everything exactly how I like it, which makes the experience even better. I highly recommend the energizer, daily green, and red sky with extra ginger!

Whether I’m craving a fresh juice or a açaí or coconut bowl, this is my go-to spot. The quality, consistency and kind customer service keep me coming back again and again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something fresh, healthy, and delicious. You won’t be disappointed!“

“When my son came down with a high temp, awful sore throat, and queasy stomach, I remembered hearing about the congee at Fresh Bui. So I called on my way home from work and placed an order to pick up for him - without issue. On arrival, I realized that the shop had already closed, but the owner was inside waiting for me to pick up. So kind!! I thanked her and told her I was bringing the porridge to my sick son, and she insisted on making him a special herbal tea remedy. She was so wonderful, and the combo of the congee and tea definitely put my son on the road to recovery! I have also enjoyed their teas and smoothies from time to time, but this was an "above and beyond" experience. So thankful to have Fresh Bui right here in town!“

“If you want fresh and clean ingredients this the place!“

“Delicious bowl and friendly staff.

Only thing is I placed an order online since I don't really like having to tell people orders such as my customized acai bowl [wasn't even complex though, just wasn't in the mood to verbally order it]. They claimed 15 minutes on the website and I understood. I went in a couple minutes later expecting to wait patiently but saw them making it right away, so I was happy. But then they stopped making it and had to take walk in orders. No biggie of course. Until all the walk ins got their bowls way before I did. I placed my order 10 minutes before the walk-ins did and mine wasn't even as complex or complicated. It definitely annoyed me a bit.

Only making this review to let people know you will have to wait 15-25 minutes when placing an online order, especially if they get many walk ins. In the future I will just make my order in my notes and walk in and say it to them next time.

Again, my bowl was delicious and the staff were friendly so I didn't even complain. Just letting the general public know what I learned. 👍“

“I came into Playa Bowls after a rough day, and I was honestly feeling pretty low. Mylo one of the employees, greeted me with such warmth and kindness—it completely turned my day around. Their gentle, comforting words and positive energy made me feel seen and cared for in a way I didn’t expect. Even after that he tickled my gooch! Sometimes, a good bowl and a kind soul are all it takes to start feeling human again. Thank you, Mylo, for being the bright spot I needed. Truly life-changing. :)“

“I came in huuuungry and nearly at closing time. I received VIP service and, more importantly, VIP portions. Zee and Briana were incredibly sweet and made the experience waaay more enjoyable, they were patient and mixed the sauces in so well with the rest of the bowl. Lovely lovely experience and the food hit exactly the spot i needed once i got home. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Extremely filling and tasty bowls. Love the Trailblazer“

“I had a great experience while waiting for my purchase as I looked around and learned on how playa bowls came about.

Parking: Bleaker Street Newark Nj

“I LOVE EVERYONE THAT WORKS THERE. LITERALLY. Not to mention I had to go back and edit my comment after I read all the other comments and had to just state, every time I go into that place I have nothing but positive vibes from anyone and everyone behind that counter. I also happen know most of them on a first name basis just being a consistent customer and being how nice and friendly they all are!! BOTH LOCATIONS!! They literally make my day better just by them making a bomb a** smoothie/bowl. Also had to mention every time I have went in they are always busy working never seen anyone doing a tiktok?? Ive only ever seen them either with a line of customers, cleaning or taking out trash..? AND !! The fruit is ALWAYS deeeeelicious, fresh and RIPE ?? #nofilter … I thank God for PLAYABOWLS? Wish I had more pictures!! And the inside of both places have stunning artwork / atmosphere !!?“
