“The açaí bowls remind me of how açaí should taste and how it used to taste before it became overly commercialized. The staff is always friendly. The space is very clean. The paninis are so good! When I work in Manhattan, I miss my Astoria location. I'm glad they moved in.“

“I work 12 hour shifts near here and I’m always soooo tired halfway through. I come here for a quick pick me up. The lady behind the counter is the absolute sweetest, drinks aside- she always lightens my mood. The açaí bowls are to die for- not mid. I’ve tried so many spots in Astoria and Vela is consistently yummy. Today. I went in for a milk tea and they ran out of boba. She went an extra mile to charge me for a medium despite me ordering a large! Soooo sweet. ??“

“This is an excellent smoothie and acai bowl place, with a very fitting name! All of the fruit was fresh and smoothies are made to order. I was able to customize a smoothie with almond milk, spinach, banana, Nutella, blueberries, and avocado. It was actually surprisingly good and hit just the spot. So glad to have found this healthy juice/smoothie place in Jersey City!“

“This coffee shop is a gem. It’s neat, modern, clean, and the atmosphere is super soothing. There are words of affirmation on their mugs, which was a nice surprise.I had a latte with oat milk and it was refreshing. Seems to be a good place to order some coffee, read a book or get some work done. I didn’t get to check if there was WiFi or not, but this is a place I’d be willing to use my hotspot for.The staff were very warm and welcoming — I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the neighborhood to try a pastry or two! Thank you.“

“My two nieces and I popped in this morning on our way to the Natural History Museum. I’ll admit I was hesitant but thankfully I listened to my nieces! I had the avocado and eggs in a crepe, which was the best gluten-free sandwich I have ever had. Did not miss the bread at all. My 14 year old chose the Nutella crepe with banana and the 9 ounce Açaí bowl. Oldest selected one of the big bowls … it was a work of art. Highly recommend and we will be back on our next trip. All the best on your growth plans!“

No doubt about their freshness and qualityStaffs are very friendly and very attentive.This place is probably the most underrated in Astoria. Definitely a hidden gem“
“I absolutely love this place. I come here once or twice a day. The smoothies are excellent. My favorites are peach’s delight and peanut butter punch. Most times I add some combination of mango, coconut and/or spinach to the peanut butter one. I haven’t tried the juices or açaí bowls yet but I’ve heard many great reviews from people I trust. The customer service in this tiny gem of a store is also A1. They care about their customers, I can tell. I hope you guys stay open for a very long time.“

“Perfect start to the day! We stayed here 4 or 5 times during our week in NY for breakfast. We tested porridge, acai bowls and smoothies. The "Hell's Kitchen Sink" tastes awesome (with peanut butter and cocoa nips.) The smoothies Boo Berry, Gymbuddy and Energy Boost are each made with almond or coconut milk and protein powder .We loved everything! The service is very friendly and There are only a few seats, so we were there early (about 8 / 9h) and had no problems getting a small table.Now we are back home and miss the delicious bowls!“

“I loved the vibe of the place and the staff were super friendly! Went there with a friend for lunch and although I’ve been to many playa bowl locations, I really liked the decoration and seating in this one. The staff made our bowls quickly and the person working the register was very patient with us as we decided what bowl we were going to get. Always recommend going here for a sweet treat with fresh fruits!“

“Nice for a good espressoIts variety of products are a real temptation...I only ask that you put the prices on the menu..The fact that only you know how much each product you sell is worth leaves me at a disadvantage of not knowing if you are really giving me the right price.“

“Great service- fast- big open space inside with plenty of tables and a tv. The juice was delicious- ordered the Rebecca Romain and it had a great kick! The sea moss shot was also good. I've never had one before so I was nervous but it tasted just fine. I felt very healthy“

“As someone stuck at home battling COVID and its symptoms, a smoothie from Playa Bowls was a bright spot in my otherwise lousy day. Full of flavor, Playa Bowls has a nice assortment of smoothies and açaí bowls that can serve as both a sweet treat or a nutritious meal. DoorDash allowed me to order from home and get my smoothie in less than 20 minutes, which is a huge win. I'll definitely be back (hopefully in person)!“
“The food was very pleasing and had a really nice base. The base was tangy, sweet, sour and savory. The toppings were filling up the top and very nicely placed. Also they're mini size was perfect and small but filling. The service was very well and the workers did not take that long. I would say we waiting less than a minute for the acai bowl to be ready! Also, I had really enjoyed the music playlist, and had a nice interaction about music with the worker. The atmosphere was very nice, they're were nice, bright colors, a comfy couch and clear menus. In addition, they were very considerate and added a charging station, even though i did not use it, it seemed very nice. Love this place and I ordered the Purple Rain. My first time and this place made a really nice impression on me.“

“This is my SPOT! I come here after workouts and love the classic açaí bowl. The tropical pitaya and peanut butter protein bowls are also very good. I've never eaten inside, but it's decent decor (just get to-go). The girls making the bowls are pretty quick and always offer a smile. This is the only place I get my açaís in Jersey!“

“The Detox is so good though like I say to the manager, "So raw." I feel like I'm consuming a very earthy drink which makes me feel like a very clean group of ingredients (carrot, celery, cucumber, beet, parsley, kale, lemon) are entering/in my body after consumption. The customer service is on point; the employees are fun and efficient. The establishment has seating indoors. Chill vibes. The establishment accepts different forms of payments. During my visit, I learn prices are different in the system than on the main chalk-like board: I feel like purchasing an allergen free chalk wall-board set can add to the fun in the environment as well as leave flexibility for a/ price adjustment(s) (an allergen free chalk wall-board set might not be as costly as re/designing and/or/then re/purchasing a new of the same board currently in the store as of the week of Monday, 6, 2023).“

“The smoothie that I had in years! Service is really friendly too and they are open to your request. They also give good recommendations for drinks especially you are looking for health regiments. They also have good bubble tea too! I personally get myself a strawberry smoothie because their strawberries are fresh! They got good healthier options too! So I definitely recommend if you love smoothies, bubble tea, protein shakes or other healthy regiments.“

“Very good option for desserts and some other baked goods. The prices are high for the quantity and ingredients.... But people are used to paying for a treat like what is sold here. Monday is beautiful, fresh, clean and welcoming. The attention is good! They should just review the prices and lower them a little and maybe then they will have many more customers and earn more from volume sales than from one-to-one sales.“

“Got the power bowl which has protein powder mixed in with the acai. I also got honey which was an extra $1.50 (crazy for a literal drizzle of honey). Ended up being kind of expensive, $17 for an acai bowl is not ideal. But it was good acai. Nice and smooth, good flavor. Liked how there was granola on the bottom layer as well as the top.“

“In this part of queens it's hard to find a tasty fresh Brazilian cheese bread and this is the place. Don't be put off by it's location- it's located in the back of a Brazilian clothing/ bathing suit store and it's quite the gem. They have different sizes of the bread. I opted for the bigger ones and they were 3 dollars each or 2 for 5. It was soft crusty fluffy and cheesy. Just the right amount of cheese and chew flavor. The lady working the store was super nice and even though I don't speak Portuguese- I had no problem ordering. Please give them a try! This is the definition of mom and pop dive“

“If you ever want a tasty snack go here. They have all types of smoothie type beverages & fruit bowls. My bowl of choice is the Nica Bowl. It's pretty much like smashed up banana on the lower half of the bowl. The rest of it is filled with slices of strawberry & banana, crunchy granola, tiny bits of chocolate chips, peanut butter & walnuts. Its a small bowl but it'll definitely hold you over til your next meal. It's so good :)“

“What can I say about this place! I LOVE IT! Between their fresh blended juices, to their beautifying smoothies, to their health conscious protein shakes, it got to a point where those drinks alone would be all I needed for my lunch! I’m just heartbroken that my favorite location on Church Street in FIDI closed down! ?“
“Açaí bowls were on point. Only one staff taking orders and making food so it was a little slow but she was very nice and our bowls were made with care. They have coffee, tea and food so I was glad to be able to get healthy options. Joel could have been topped with honey to make it even better.“

“Putting 5 stars to be nice but it should be less- the banana they put in my smoothie was underripe and flavorless. I saw the stack of bananas they had and they were all underripe. I also tried a blueberry lavender baked donut and it was more like a very dense cake or brownie without much flavor. The employees were really nice and these things I’m complaining about have nothing to do with them.“
“The smoothie was so tasty!! They made my own smoothie creation after i was craving a certain combo. They were really friendly and accommodating. The smoothie eas peanut butter, strawberry, and banana. It was super delicious. The price was okay price point at $10 a drink.“

“This Playa Bowls is inside a gym which is inside an apartment building. Five floors up or an elevator ride up, then pass by a front desk and some mire walk. It is pricey but worth it. Portions are huge so you either should be hungry or share it. Staff is helpful.“

“I order playa almost every Saturday morning and a couple of days at night… today I ordered the same that I do everytime and the bowl looks like the person who made was rushing, the bowl has less fruit, less base, less everything… and is sad because I love this place and now I feel I just waste money :(“
