About Playa Bowls

Playa Bowls is a rapidly expanding fast-casual restaurant chain focusing on healthy, flavorful bowls made from fresh ingredients. With an emphasis on simplicity and customization, they offer a variety of options including Acai, Pitaya, Coconut, Green, and Mango bowls.

Playa Bowls was born out of a passion for fresh, healthy food and a love for surf culture. Inspired by the tropical fruit bowls they discovered during their travels, the founders decided to bring these flavorful offerings back home. Today, Playa Bowls is the go-to spot for health-conscious consumers looking for a quick and tasty meal. Every bowl is customizable, allowing customers to tailor their meals according to their personal preferences. With a focus on simplicity, the menu is easy to navigate, and the ingredients are easy to maintain.
