I have gave this playa so many chances. The Spanish girl at the register and sometimes cutting up the fruit has a really nasty attitude. She never makes the bowl correctly. I’ve watched her on many occasions argue with customers because of a small particular way the CUSTOMER is asking to make the bowl. I have encountered times where her attitude was as if she did not want to work. My bowl was sloppy and it ruined my excitement for my bowl. I literally drive to the orange playa location just to avoid the attitudes and lack of care making my bowl. These employees need a retraining on customer service!!! So disappointing!!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

My favorite place ever! Delicious bowls and smoothies 😋 my only recommendation is offering half bowl portions. Sometimes the full bowl is too much. Other locations in NJ offer half bowl for those looking for a smaller snack. Other than that I’m so glad to have a playa bowls 5 min from me 🥰🌴

More and more healthy options are becoming available and that's a good thing. This was my 1st time experiencing Playa Bowl so I didn't know what to expect. The options were plenty and the service was on par. I'm vegan and I'm always on the lookout for healthy options. This place is a keeper so be sure to visit if you are ever in Elizabeth, NJ.
