“This place is, with out a doubt, the best Acai/Chia pudding place I have ever been to. On top of that, the chia pudding recipe tis shop is using is something distinctly different from other chia pudding I've had. It's blue, and tastes far more awesome than normal chia pudding.I accidentally discovered this little shop while visiting a friend near Montclair. I live in NYC - caught a train to Montclair Bay St station, and wandered up the block from there looking for some treats to share with friends.Jackpot.I don't live near Montclair, and this location is not convenient to me. However, I now go out of my way to visit this shop whenever I'm passing through the nearby train line.Worth it.If you (please) bring boomchia to downtown Brooklyn, I would eat there everyday. As it stands I'll have to settle for once a week.“
“Cynthia(owner) is attentive to details and her customers. Food is great. I have not heard a single negative comment. Everyone walks out with a smile. A real treat for a meal/meal replacement, a snack or a sweet treat. Don’t miss out on this gem. My personal favorite is the Peanut Butter Chocolate Colin. Hard to “
“The ABSOLUTE BEST Acai bowls in the world!Here's my go to: Mango, Pinapple, Kiwi, Hazelnut butter, and for the bases; Acai (the best made blend ever) and banana whip base. OMG, it's that good. So good for you too.The only thing sweeter than the bowls is the owner Michelen who has a heart of gold, down to earth, and spreads the magic to all of her staff and customers.“
“Great coffee and tea! Perfect staff: they all care deeply about their craft, and they want you to enjoy it as much as they do.And apparently it’s a climbing gym too! It’s a bizarre place, and I love it.There are books and games around, and some cool seating.“
“As my first time at the store I was impressed with the service. Both associates were very attentive, quick and efficient with my order. I got the 8th Ave Acai Bowl with kiwi added to it. That bowl stood no chance against my spoon and stomach combo. Definitely will be looking for the local one in my area as I'm currently traveling out of state.“
“Everything about this place is ?!I happened to speak with the owner, who let me know that this restaurant sources an acai base that utilizes cane sugar, as well as lower sugar content in their pitaya.That's not the only option for a base! They have pumpkin, matcha, coconut, etc, I've tried them all, and all delicious.Also, if you are here early enough, they make overnight oats!“
“PROS:- This place makes their bases (which they have numerous kinds of) right in front of you. It's not premade like Frutta Bowls or Playa Bowls. So you can customize it completely.- The portions are HUGE especially compared to Frutta Bowls. I much rather have more of the base (which is difficult to make at home) than the slices of fruit on top (which is easy to do at home).- Krystina and Shanel made our bowls and were so warm and patient -- explaining all of their options and even giving us free samples of their sugar free peanut butter which they grind right in front of you (this was the topping we chose -- highly recommend).- They even have a BOGO on Wednesdays if you use the app. You can bet we will be there again this week for it.CONS:- Acai bowls in general are not cheap. But I've made many acai bowls myself at home, and those 100% acai packets from Trader Joe's are a pain to open and work with. So, to me, the cost is well worth the hassle from making the base at home.We've found our new acai bowl spot in Livingston. Thank you for being here Rush Bowls =)“
“I met a work colleague here the other day as we were looking for someplace to set up for the afternoon prior to an evening event. I ordered espresso and it was excellent. I then ordered a chicken sandwich with grilled peppers and onions, it was very very good. The Cafe is constantly busy and there are teenagers everywhere because I'm guessing there is a high school near by. The bathroom was impeccably clean!“
“I got hooked on my oat flat white with coconut cream syrup (so delicious, please don’t take my word for it alone and try it yourself :)). Best chocolate chip cookies i’ve ever had and they are vegan. The staff is always nice and I think the inside is nice, airy and pretty. I’d recommend you checking it out.“
“The food is amazing and the staff is so friendly. I love the coxinhas, the x-frango is a great sandwich and the pastelão is the best. Sometimes I order one of the party trays of mini coxinhas if I ever have to go somewhere and they're always a hit. 10 out of 10, would recommend any day.“
“This is my second time ordering from juice hub and I love it here! Everything is so fresh. My second time ordering I went into the store and Pete helped me. He was so friendly and explained a little bit about the ingredients used in their bowls. I will be back!“
“Vegetarian options: Acai bowls, oatmeal, pitaya bowls, smoothies, granola, nut butters etc, it's mostly all vegetarian options!Parking: Lots of spot in back lot and there's a backdoor to get inKid-friendliness: Yes very kid friendly! I've brought my kid before and plenty of seats available“
“Fresh fruit's & Sweet smiles what’s not to love about this place. They alway’s greet you with a warm welcome and take the time needed to perfect your drink! Huge shoutout to Madison & Lexi! Two kind, sweet, hardworking women who make your day a bit sweeter before you’ve even tasted your smoothie.. 10/10“
“Ono Bowls did an amazing job this past weekend at the LIV Tournament in Bedminster, NJ. Their smoothie/acai bowls were probably the best I've ever had! They were friendly, efficient & a pleasure to work with... definitely bringing them back for more events!“
“The churro bites (dolce leite/ caramel and brigaderio/ chocolate were a great little treat. Pretty doughy, so they can fill you up unexpectedly. I ate them warm, seems like they'd be tasty cold as well. Chocolate version had a slightly thinner inside - both kind of pop in your mouth when you eat them. They have the Guarana soda as well. Small spot, mainly for pick up but they let me eat at the counter with no issue. Very clean space, very nice staff.“
“This is a cute little place. The ladies working were super nice & helpful with reviewing the specials. It seems like they have really good regulars that came in while I was there; they were identified by first name basis. I love that. Pro-Tip: if you want to know the food specials for the day, check out their story on IG. I ordered the chicken congee, loh mai gai/sticky rice in lotus leaf, chicken laksa, & the clay pot meat with rice. My favorite was the clay pot & the crunchy pieces of rice in it. Yums. It did take 20 mins to cook bc it's a "made to order" meal. The laksa was packed with flavor & gave my mother's laksa a run for her money. I lasted ordered a matcha tea & a Thai milk tea. I didn't care for the drinks but I have a feeling the other drinks there are better like the create your owns. Cons: hard to find parking at a busy time. They are closed Sun, Mon, Tues. Prices aren't listed on website, IG, or in the store so I have attached a receipt. Overall, I would definitely be coming back. Maybe for their fruit bowls & a different drink“
“Come here often. Depending on the time it’s usually full of students. The Nutella açaí bowl never fails me. Only thing missing from here that others have are the bottled juices and health drink shots. I don’t know why they don’t have them here. Staff is okay.“
“I’ll be honest, I didn’t go in with high expectations because I’ve read some reviews before that were low and called the place mediocre and all I have to say is: they are wrong, this place is actually really good.The smoothies all taste amazing, the place is clean, there’s a bunch of food options, the staff is nice and overall the place looks beautiful.The fruit in our bowls were fresh as can be, the granola was good and they were big.I highly recommend the Sweet Palm Green Bowl.I will say though, the bowls are expensive. Expect to pay around 13-14 dollars per person.In total this order was 30 dollars (two bowls) which isn’t bad because it’s a voluntary choice, the quality is nice, the place is nice and so on.Give this place a try. I don’t regret trying it. It was really good.Kid-friendliness: So this place is right next to a gym and a high school so I truly expected there to be more young adults but there were actually many middle schoolers there with their parents ordering bowls. The staff was really kind to them and the whole vibe did not discourage younger audiences so I would call this a kid friendly place which is awesome.Parking: There’s so much parking spots because it’s in a plaza area“
“This is my after jiu jitsu training spot for a refreshing bowl. My personal fave is the passion fruit bowl (add Nutella if you're feeling frisky) The service is quick and efficient and the decor is super cute and beachy. It's a smaller spot so it's not like you can go with a big group but it's def a cute spot for a day date or again after gym, after training activities.“
“I recently completed the whole food cleanse and can't say enough good things about how delicious the food is at Fresh Press Juice Company. I've had their juices before and have my favorites (The Healer, Feelin' The Beat, Cold Buster) but I'm really happy to have another option in town to turn to for food. Breakfast options - the overnight oats, granola. tofu scramble, and snack pack of fruit and almond butter were all delicious and filling. For lunch and dinner options, the bean burger is not to be missed as well as all of their soups. The rainbow wraps have the perfect amount of hummus and the kale caesar salad is so good. As much as I love their juice, they offer so much more than just juice! Even my kids love their banana whips. We are so lucky to have them in town! And the staff are always very friendly and helpful.“
“I came in recently on an hot day and ordered the orange power! (definitely recommend, one of my absolute favorites). The employee Callie waited on me and she was absolutely amazing! She was quick, efficient and very kind. 10/10 customer service at this playa bowls!!“
“Stopped in yesterday ordered my oatmeal bowl it was delicious! Luanne and Gionna are very polite and helpful with recommendations !! The prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend stopping in and trying a bowl or smoothie and toast ??“
“Absolutely love this place and all their other locations. Acai is amazing great texture not soupy at all, their granola is to die for!!Being Brazilian where I have had many Acai’s this is the best Acai I’ve ever had.Hope they go on delivery services soon so I can have it more often. Please get on ubereats or DoorDash ??“
“i come here every once in a while and am always very pleased with the quick & friendly service as well as the delicious smoothies! today i had even forgotten to ask for almond milk instead of regular milk in my smoothie and the worker was quick to offer to remake it for me. amazing smoothie king let me be ur smoothie queen“
“I just picked up some takeout from this place... OMG, it's amazing! So authentic! The food is fresh and delicious. I got the chicken and cheese, puff pastry, cheese, bread, balls, and a chicken with Brazilian cheese pancake. The pancake is an actuality a crepe , which makes it even more amazing. It was absolutely delicious and generously filled. There is not a doubt in my mind that I will be coming back.“
“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 !!?“
“I do love playa bowls but try to check other bowls businesses. So in general their bowls are good but my bowl was sooo sweet I couldn’t even finish. I’m not sure if they mistakenly added too much honey or something else on my bowl but I couldn’t enjoy it unfortunately. Leaving 4 stars.“
“I've got to say , I've never had a playa bowl but I get the hype! I'm a juice generation almond butter bliss gal and this was a close second. It was delicious and I will definitely be back. I got a bowl with half of their playa pitaya and banana blend . I added almond butter , strawberries , mango , banana , granola and coconut flakes, it was so refreshing and yummy. My toddler also enjoyed it. I can see me eating these all summer.“
“Amazing service from the Playa Bowls staff, they were very respectful and kind, surprisingly quick even though they were quite busy. The girl with the curly hair and the slick back ponytail she was very kind. Would recommend to family and friends. The food was very refreshing, a lot of Nutella was added love that! Keep up the good work“
“My boyfriend and I are visiting from Kansas and he is celiac so we decided to try this place because of their gluten-free options. I've never really eaten Pokey so I was planning on going to Taco Bell afterwards. I ended up trying the California roll Bowl and was blown away! The sauce they use is delicious and I literally couldn't stop eating it! Zee made our food and was super friendly and helpful in customizing our smoothies. Give this lady a raise ? also bring a location to Wichita KS. We'd love to have you!“
“I had a turkey panini, it was a little bit of overkill with the cheese, meanwhile I was searching for the meat lol. Besides that flavor was decent. Cappuccino is DELICIOUS! My fav in this area so far. Spinach feta pastry is tasty as well I recommend if you’re looking to stop for a pastry and coffee. Haven’t tried the fruit bowls yet!“

“Super cute as a stop in while in Richmond Town or just passing by. Got a cold brew and a latte. Son got fries. They have pastries, burghers, and other sandwiches for lunch. They also have coffee, tea, lattes and cappuccinos. Indoor and outdoor seating.“
“I've been to four different Playa Bowls, and I have to say that I do love the one in Montclair the most. The atmosphere is just so calm and relaxing. They're not playing loud music with vulgar lyrics. (I've been to one that does that.) I also love that the worker who took my friend's order had memorized the two bowls that she frequently orders for herself and her husband. She knew every customization and recited it to my friend before she could even place her order. I was impressed.“
“Came to a warm welcome from both workers! I’ve never had a fruit bowl from here an he was very helpful with explaining everything an also offered samples which really helped me make my decision the açaí bowl was so delicious the acia was a smooth creamy sorbet like goodness the granola was premium fruit was fresh 10 out of 10 i totally recommend“
