Looking to waste time, money and gas? Come here for a pitaya bowl. Want a miserable pair of servers? Come on a Tuesday evening. They close at 9 but will take your order at 8:20 and punish you for it with a watered down, fizz “pitaya bowl” looking nothing at all like a pitaya bowl if you search for a picture of one on google. I went with my baby and husband and totally regret it. I hope those two get the same service and energy that they gave for the next 10 years of their lives, everywhere they go. Look at what’s beneath the toppings. Pitaya water.

I usually don’t leave reviews, but I felt the need to share my experience because I was genuinely surprised when I opened my order. This was my second time visiting, and my go-to spot is typically Playa Bowls in East Rutherford. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with the bowl I received today.
I ordered a pitaya bowl, but what I got looked and tasted completely different from what I expected. The consistency, color, and texture were nothing like the typical pitaya bowls I’ve had in the past—or even what shows up in a quick Google image search.
I called the store to confirm that I received the correct order, and the girl on the phone assured me it was a pitaya bowl. I tasted it, and it honestly felt more like a smoothie with strong flavors of banana and strawberry. She explained that the lighter color might be due to more banana and pineapple being used than dragonfruit, which she claimed is the usual blend.
If that’s the case and there’s no consistency in the preparation, I’d rather make the extra drive to Playa Bowls, where I know what I’m getting every time. While I didn’t have much interaction with the staff, overall I’m just really dissatisfied with what was supposed to be a pitaya bowl.

Good Afternoon,
I wanted to take a moment to share some feedback about my visit to Tiki Bowls today around 4:00 PM.
Firstly, I want to say that I really enjoy the healthy shakes and appreciate what your business offers. It's always great to see places promoting nutritious options in a fun, welcoming environment.
However, during my visit today, I noticed a few things that could use improvement. The air conditioning inside the shop seemed insufficient, and I genuinely felt for the staff who were working hard in those conditions. A more comfortable environment would surely benefit both your employees and customers.
More importantly, while placing my order, I overheard a conversation between staff members that felt inappropriate for a professional, public setting. One employee, in particular, was very vocal and loud about wanting to purchase marijuana, laughing openly about it with colleagues. Given that this is a family-friendly establishment, I was surprised and honestly a bit uncomfortable hearing that exchange, especially with other customers present.
I’m sure this doesn’t reflect the values of your business, and I understand that every workplace can have off moments. That said, I believe it might be helpful to remind staff about maintaining professionalism during shifts and being mindful of their conversations when customers are nearby.
Overall, the rest of the team has always been pleasant in past visits, and I appreciate their service. Today’s experience just felt a little off compared to the usual vibe I’ve come to enjoy.
I hope it’s received in the constructive spirit in which it’s intended.

Postpartum mama and I’m addicted! I’ve become a regular. Aside from wishing pricing was a bit lower (since I buy so many 😭) and there was a bit more Acai in the bowls, I love tiki. The sisters who work together are also the best- they are always so friendly and sweet. Definitely recommend

Very good can’t wait to go back everything is so fresh !

If you're looking for the ultimate feel-good spot that brings the beach to your belly—this is it! The moment you walk in, you're hit with those laid-back, surfside vibes: tropical music, ocean-inspired decor, and the kind of energy that instantly boosts your mood.
Their açaí bowls are next-level delicious—loaded with fresh fruit, crunchy granola, drizzled honey, and all the good vibes. Each one looks like a piece of edible art and tastes even better. It’s like a mini vacation in every bite.
And here’s the cherry (or banana) on top: they’re dog-friendly! I brought my pup, and we were both welcomed like locals!

Tiki Bowls is my go-to spot for the freshest and most delicious açaí bowls in Nutley! Every bowl is packed with flavor, and the ingredients are always super fresh and high quality. I love how customizable everything is—whether I’m in the mood for something fruity, crunchy, or indulgent like Nutella, they always deliver. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the tropical vibe of the shop makes the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a healthy treat that actually tastes amazing, you need to check this place out!

Tiki bowls has the best acai bowls around. The fruit is always fresh, they let you make custom bowls and it's always full to the top! Not to mention it's cute inside & they are always bringing in new menu items. Love this place- 5 stars from me!
Bowls are great, service is great & can’t wait to go back!

Walked in there and the girl Denise was extremely rude . Had an attitude when I told her that she did my order wrong (not my fault) then try to do my order all over again with the same gloves she took my cash and was cleaning with. Asked her to change her gloves and she rolled her eyes and was huffing and puffing under her breath. Mind you I am pregnant. Very unsanitary, very disrespectful.
