Playa Bowls

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Playa Bowls – Durham Playa Bowls in Durham honestly surprised me in the best way possible. The place has this laid-back, beach-town energy that makes you forget you’re steps away from campus and not actually on a boardwalk in Jersey. Everything feels super fresh — like they actually care about what they’re serving, not just scooping fruit and calling it a day. The bowls are generous, the toppings are balanced, and the fruit tastes like it was cut five minutes ago. The staff deserves a shoutout too: genuinely friendly, patient with first-timers, and always willing to recommend their favorite combos without pushing anything. You can tell they take pride in what they do. It’s one of those spots where you walk in for a quick snack and leave feeling lighter, happier, and a little bit spoiled. Whether you’re grabbing an açaí bowl after a workout, chilling with friends, or just looking for something fresh in Durham, Playa Bowls hits the spot every time.

Playa Bowl is located on 9th street and has a very beachy/colorful vibe when you walk in. There are so many different options to choose from and because my sister and I are indecisive, we decided to get the mixed bowl where you can choose 2 different bases. We ordered the following: Acai and Coconut base w/ Pura Vida topping (granola, blueberry, strawberry, and honey) Pitaya and Coconut base w/ (I forgot the name of the topping but it had banana, mango, granola, blueberry, and coconut flakes) Both bowls were very refreshing and I appreciate how they stuff the bowl to the brim with the base and toppings. My personal favorite was the coconut but honestly, everything was delicious. I also love how they sprinkle some granola on the bottom of the bowl and it maintains its crunchy texture even if it sits under the base for a while. Playa Bowls are definitely not cheap but if you sign up for their membership (just via phone number), you can collect points and/or receive discounts. Aside from the delicious treats, the staff members were friendly and were very quick!

My very first time trying playa bowl. I have to say it was amazing. Especially the excellent customer service that Naomy provided. She was kind, patient, and so helpful. She helped me through the menu and gave me suggestions of the flavors I might enjoy. Thanks to Naomy, my bowl was amazing!! I have told my friends and family about this place and do expect to see us there again!
