Playa Bowls Frequently Asked Questions

We have TONS of options! Wehave 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, andhoney! 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 juices as well.

The acai berry is renowned 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. 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. However, there is always a slight risk of cross contamination.

Yes, we offer a gluten free granola option in our shops!

Our shops offer products with peanut, tree nuts, soy, milk, eggs, and wheat. 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 peanut, tree nut, soy, milk, egg or wheat allergies.

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, smoothies, and juices 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 Cand B2!
