Playa Bowls is New Jersey’s Original Acai Shop™ with over 300 locations nationwide. Our mission is to bring superfruit bowls to the masses using only the freshest, highest quality ingredients while providing an amazing in shop brand experience.
The acai berry is renown for its vast range of energy-boosting, cell-healing, immune-stimulating properties. This gem of a fruit is what got this whole party started for us here at Playa Bowls, and it has a cacao berry flavor!
Pitaya is a dragon fruit from Nicaragua. This vivid fruit is a tropical orb of phytonutrient-packed, metabolism-stimulating, digestive-aiding, body-detoxifying gold. Pitaya has a faintly sweet taste of an earthy watermelon and the consistency of a kiwi.
We do have nuts in our stores. Also, our granola may contain tree nuts (it is processed in a facility where there are nuts).
Most items in our shops are dairy free except for our sweet cream, Nutella, white chocolate, vanilla whey protein and chocolate whey protein.
We offer a gluten free granola that does not contain any gluten ingredients! However, be aware that our restaurants are not gluten free and all products may contain trace amounts of gluten due to cross contamination.
We do have organic items in our shops, but not everything is organic! Our acai, coconut, and pitaya are all organic. When you’re in shop, feel free to ask our staff which fruits are organic! All of our shops buy fresh produce every day, and we try our best to pick the organic fruits when possible.
Sure! Our online ordering system offers delivery, and most locations also use delivery platforms such as Doordash, Uber Eats, and Skip The Dishes.
We love your pets, but they are not permitted inside. Service Dogs allowed.
Playa is the Spanish word for beach. Playa Bowls translates to “Beach Bowls” which perfectly describes our products! Our founders, Abby Taylor and Rob Giuliani named Playa Bowls after their favorite surf spots around the world, such as Playa Maria and Playa Negra. It seemed fitting to name the brand after the locations that inspired the idea in the first place!
Well we have TONS of options! We have 7 different bases: acai, pitaya, coconut, green, mango, banana, oatmeal, (and two year round special bases the stupid cupid base and our booster base).
Under every base category, we provide different fruit options. For example, under our acai category the first option is an 8th Ave which has acai, granola, banana, and honey. Next, is the Pura Vida which consists of acai, granola, strawberries, blueberries, and honey! So many different bowl options to choose from — 37 to be exact! And, if you don’t like any of our recommended menu items, a custom bowl is always an option! We also serve smoothies and cold brew as well.
Say it with me – ah-sah-EE 🙂
Our green base is KALE, banana, pineapple, and coconut milk. It is super refreshing and leaves you feeling energetic and ready to conquer the world!
Well, I am so glad this question came up! Playa Bowls are a healthy treat full of vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants as opposed to ice cream or a big slice of pizza. Playa Bowls was created by our founders Rob and Abby because they wanted a healthier option after a long surf sesh. Our bowls and smoothies are here to fuel an active lifestyle and not to leave you feeling sluggish like pizza and fries would!
Both of these superfruits have their own amazing benefits. Acai contains tons of vitamins and amino acids which help with muscle recovery and boosting energy. Acai also has a huge amount of antioxidants in it, which directly correlates with anti-aging! Pitaya is high in fiber which helps maintain a healthy body and has tons of vitamin C and B2!
Our shops offer products that contain or may come in contact with peanuts, tree nuts, soy, milk, eggs, wheat, fish, shellfish, and sesame. While we take steps to minimize the risk of cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee that any of our products are safe to consume for people with allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, soy, milk, eggs, wheat, fish, shellfish, and sesame.
