Acai Bowls near Merrick, NY

“I love Playa Bowls! Even though I’m closer to the Oceanside location, I make the drive to Merrick because the Team is fantastic!! Teresa, Eli, Adriana, Jaelyn and Quinn deserve to be recognized for their outstanding performance!!

Let’s face it - spending $20 for a fruit bowl is considered a luxury in these times, so it helps to have wonderful people taking care of you and making you feel that more special🩷💚“

“This place used to be my favorite açaí joint. My family and I would always go here. But recently (not sure why) they got rid of their kosher certification. It’s really a bummer. We were constant customers and losing a place like this was a bit annoying. We have the kosher playa bowls also in merrick but it’s just not as good. I love sobol don’t get me wrong but if they could just bring back the kosher certification it would be really appreciated.“

“Baya bar is truly the best place I have ever had açaí bowls from ! Everything there is amazing ! I don’t have 1 complaint about there ! My daughter used to go somewhere else & then I brought her to baya bar & that’s the only place she will go now“

“Hands down, best açaí bowl I have ever had!!!! Owner was a delight as well making my first time experience even better!! Everything was super fresh and perfect. Will definitely be back❤️“

“I can honestly say BrainFood Palace lives up to the hype. I received over 100 messages from people telling me I had to check this place out, and they weren’t lying. From the first sip, I knew why everyone was raving about it.

The smoothies are thick, creamy, and full of real fruit. No shortcuts, no watered-down flavor. They actually keep you full and energized, which is rare to find. The fresh juices are just as impressive: light, refreshing, and so clean-tasting that you know you’re getting the real deal.

Beyond the drinks, the vibe of the place makes it even better. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and you can tell they take pride in what they’re serving. It’s the type of spot where you feel good the moment you walk in, and even better when you leave with something fresh in hand.

I totally understand why so many people told me to try it. BrainFood Palace is easily a 5/5. A must-visit if you love smoothies, juices, or just want something healthy and delicious. OH LAWDD!“

“In Nov of 2022, I had the most AMAZING gluten-free bagels I’ve ever tasted! At first, I was afraid they had given me regular bagels! They’re THAT good! I live in Kentucky and have been DREAMING of those bagels ever since I ate the last one!“

“Lots of choices and good food“

“Food and service here is impeccable. Fresh ingredients, artisanal snacks, and healthy options! We stay at the hospital often and so happy with this healthy option in the neighborhood. The ambiance is super adorable too-- perfect place to catch up with friends.“

“Love this place. Best acai base around. Their granola is amazing too! I got pitaya and coconut base this time and it was terrific. The juices look great and they even have different Avocado Toast. My daughter loves the chocolate banana protein shake. Check it out!“

“I’m here at least once a week, it’s the best açaí of the local places….not freezer burned, not sweet but not bitter either and the consistency is scoop-able and great. Been coming for years! The product is super fresh. Different locations have different products like lunch items, the smaller locations tend to focus on breakfast. They have a young staff all really nice. Highly recommend.“

“Organic krush is amazing and filled with a ton of healthy fresh options. The food is delicious and the there is a large selection. The smoothies and pressed juices are 🔥. The staff is super friendly and the manager is the best. They are all very professional and helpful. This is a great addition to Rockville Centre.“
