Why Locals Love Playa Bowls

Playa Bowls in Pleasantville, NY, is a vibrant health food restaurant that brings the fresh, tropical flavors of the coast right to your neighborhood. Specializing in nutrient-packed açaí, green, banana, and oatmeal bowls, this spot is a sanctuary for anyone craving refreshing, wholesome, and beautifully crafted meals. The menu showcases a variety of power bowls, each bursting with fresh, flavorful ingredients that not only nourish your body but delight your senses.

Among their standout offerings are the Green Bowls, such as the Pacific Green Bowl, a kale blend lusciously topped with granola, strawberry, banana, shaved almonds, chia seeds, and drizzled honey—an invigorating mix that balances creamy, crunch, and sweetness perfectly. For a richer protein boost, the Green Power Bowl blends kale with vanilla protein, granola, bananas, and almond butter, offering a deeply satisfying yet light option. Meanwhile, the Lola Green Bowl leans tropical, adorned with pineapple, mango, and coconut flakes, harmonized with a honey drizzle that instantly transports your taste buds to the beach.

The Banana Bowls are equally compelling, with choices like the Olas Banana Bowl featuring a luscious banana blend topped with granola, blueberries, coconut flakes, chia seeds, and almond butter, creating a vibrant, velvety texture with bursts of fruity sweetness and nutty richness. The Costa Banana Bowl is a decadent option for those craving a sweet indulgence, topped with Nutella, vanilla protein, fresh mint, and more, delivering layers of creamy, fruity, and refreshing notes in every bite.

If you prefer something warm and comforting, Playa Bowls’ Oatmeal Bowls shine with their organic steel-cut oats, generously adorned with toppings like strawberry, banana, coconut flakes, and a swirl of Nutella in the #1 Oatmeal Bowl, or the cinnamon-kissed #5 Oatmeal Bowl finished with walnuts and fig for an earthy sweetness. These dishes redefine what breakfast or a nourishing snack can be—both hearty and vibrant.

Great service, friendly and helpful staff. Inside seating and a outdoor seating in the rear, which you can enter also. Paid parking both on the street and lots. Handicap accessible in front entrance, with a slight slope. In the rear to the outside seating is also accessible from the sidewalk and from the inside.

I came for the fruit! I enjoyed their "8th Ave" bowl with pure Acai (Ah-sigh-ee) topped with granola, bananas, strawberries, honey and Nutella. Absolutely delicious though I did not know the bowls come practically frozen and my teeth happen to be sensitive to the cold I just learned lol. Their menu has many options for these bowls, smoothies, pressed drinks etc. Still, I loved this really tasty and filling bowl! The crew at the store were friendly and the decor is pretty awesome. You should check it out!

We always have a great experience. We usually use the app to order for pickup. Electric mermaid and Tropical bowls are our faves, plus Pink Pitaya smoothie for the kids. Both the food and service are always sweet and refreshing. I also appreciate the kid friendly outdoor seating in the back.

I have checked out many different PlayaBowls locations in the past, but none of them compare to PlayaBowls in Pleasantville !!!!! This place is the place to go. When I go in, the girl who usually takes my order is always there , Believe her name is Briana or Bri not 100% sure . She is a young girl with dark hair, looks very Italian. She is super adorable, very personable and well-mannered, always has a smile on her face, and always helps me out! There are a bunch of others girls I see there often and they are fantastic as well :) Great food, great atmosphere, great music, overall-great place to go. My boys are obsessed too … definitely recommend :) !!!!

I generally shy away from chains of 200+ locations. But I love the Açaí Tropical Bowl. Use the app, it’s ready quickly. Can’t speak to the nutritional value, but lots of fresh fruit. They have excellent gluten-free granola. This location has an excellent outside seating area behind the store. It’s relaxing. One downside - it’s expensive for what you get.

Good bowls with a lot of options for bases, not just açaí. Quick delivery of items after order. A lot of seating options outdoor and limited indoor, two bathrooms. The bowls are delicious and the ingredients taste fresh. My only thing is that like all bowl places, the bowls are overstuffed so it's always messy to start eating it.
