What people say

Playa Bowls on North Damen Avenue is a standout health food restaurant for anyone who loves fresh, flavor-forward smoothie bowls and superfruit options. The menu shines with creative combinations that feel both fun and thoughtfully built, from bright tropical fruit pairings to satisfying toppings.

One of the highlights is the Yuzu Ocean Bowl, which blends half Playa Yuzu Mango with half Playa Pitaya® Base and finishes with blueberry flax granola, strawberry, mango, and coco whip. It’s a colorful mix of tangy, sweet, and creamy textures that makes every bite feel balanced and refreshing.

The Yuzu Coco Bowl is another fan-favorite option, bringing together half Playa Yuzu Mango blend and half Playa Coconut® blend. Topped with blueberry flax granola, banana, pineapple, and coco whip, it delivers a smooth coconut-forward profile with plenty of juicy fruit brightness.

For something drinkable but still indulgent in texture, the smoothies are equally impressive. The Pink Summer Smoothie combines Playa Yuzu Base and Playa Pitaya® Base with pineapple plus collagen peptides, coconut milk, and coco whip—an energizing blend that tastes like summer while still feeling wellness-minded. The Yuzu Glow Smoothie follows a similarly vibrant formula with Playa Yuzu Base and Playa Mango Base paired with pineapple, collagen peptides, coconut milk, and coco whip.

Overall, Playa Bowls offers a consistently enjoyable experience: bold flavor combinations, satisfying toppings like blueberry flax granola and coco whip, and a menu that makes it easy to find something that matches your mood—whether you’re craving an acai-style bowl or a refreshing smoothie bowl experience.
