Playa Bowls

Absolutely. This version sounds pissed off, but controlled—which usually makes a bad review hit harder. Extremely disappointing and completely unacceptable. I drove all the way from Indiana Township/Cheswick into Pittsburgh specifically to visit Playa Bowls on Smallman Street. I already avoid driving into this part of Pittsburgh whenever possible because of the traffic, crowds, difficulty finding parking, and the added cost of paying to park. However, we specifically wanted Playa Bowls, so I made the trip. After driving all the way into the city, finding parking, and paying for it, we walked over to discover that Playa Bowls was CLOSED. Apparently there was some type of farmers market or event taking place, and three employees were sitting directly outside the closed store. What makes this completely unacceptable is that there was absolutely no indication online that the location would be closed. Nothing on Google and nothing on the website. The posted business hours gave customers every reason to believe the store was open. If you're going to close a business during your regularly posted hours, updating your Google listing or website is the absolute minimum you should do for

I visited Playa Bowls Strip District, located at 1707 Smallman Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, with a guest and had a very good first experience. This new location is a great spot for anyone looking for a healthier snack option instead of a late-night sugary snack. Our order included: Mango Power – Mango Bowl:$14.00 Mango Berry – Mango Bowl: $14.00 Tree Nut Allergy note:$0.00 Extra Pineapple:$1.00 Subtotal: $29.00 Taxes: $2.03 Total: $31.03 The bowls were filling in the best way. They had real fruit, granola, nuts, protein options, bee pollen, different milk blends, and plenty of add-ons. While there is still sweetness in the bowls, the main ingredients felt much better than choosing a heavy dessert or candy-type snack. The employees were friendly and helpful. They provided details about the bowl options, and when I later asked about adding bee pollen, they added it after I realized from the paper menu that additional add-ons were available. The location offers both dine-in and takeout, and the atmosphere was clean, bright, and welcoming. Parking is available in the front and rear, but be warned: parking enforcement was active on Smallman Street, and I noticed several vehicles w

The perfect Strip District stroll always includes a stop at Playa Bowls! Loved grabbing an açaí bowl to fuel the walk. They have a massive menu. The vibe is super fun with a cool local wave mural and their beachside story on the wall. Our whole group's order was fresh, fast, and hit the spot. Excellent good food with organic and gluten free options. An absolute must-visit when you're exploring the neighborhood!

This place gets 5/5 for multiple reasons. First, they are delicious and very reasonably priced. Second, they are so kind and accommodating. In my order notes I made a comment about how rough of a day I’ve had and that I would love extra coco whip as it’s my favorite. They delivered in the sweetest way! I love coming here.

The bowls are good but they consistently below the advertised portion levels. It’s like they’re trying to put as little as possible while still charging the same price. This happens every time I visit this location - FILL UP THE BOWL!!! I never ever have this issue at any other Playa Bowls location
