"Delivery was fine but the quality of the food was lacking. The past two times I've ordered, my papadia has been very chewy, almost gummy. Like the dough wasn't completely proofed before being cooked. The toppings were delicious, and there definitely was enough toppings, but I couldn't really enjoy because of the dough texture. Not sure if I'll be ordering anymore, at least not any time soon."

"suuuper good. I love the way they blend the fruit, it has the texture of sherbet or soft serve ice cream. I was worried it'd be melted by the time I got it, but they also keep the bowls stored in a fridge so they stay cold :)"

"Best bowl Ive had from here so far."
"Is it just me? Or does my smoothie taste....watered down! At first I thought ok maybe if I remove whatever the pure recharge ingredient was and replace it with more of the mango or strawberry or pineapple apple juice blend....but no...I have ordered this 1 particular smoothie Pure Recharge® Mango Strawberry for the past 5 years across two states and after todays order and the last 10 or so before this I have come to 2 conclusions.. 1. It has been watered down, 44 ounces of more ice drowning out the flavor 2. Someone working at this Wilmington location does not know how to make it. I want my "TASTY BURST OF MANGO AND STRAWBERRY" "THICK" "FILLING" and "REFRESHING" drink back! Stop playing with me Smoothie King! I've given you plenty of time to get it right! Put the "FRUIT" in the in the 14 dollar drink! Or re-train your staff on how to make the drinks! I will wait a while before buying another one but when I do IT BETTER BE FIXED! I WILL write another review and i hope its a good 1"

"The protein bites are tasty but I was taken aback with the portion size. It's 3 small pieces about ping pong ball size. Not worth the $8 price tag in my opinion. Every bowl I've had is great though- good quality, good portion size and fresh toppings. My favorite is the Tropical Acai Bowl"
"Review of Playa Bowls - Wilmington, NC (Pura Vida Acai Bowl) If you’re craving a refreshing and healthy treat in Wilmington, NC, Playa Bowls is the place to be. I recently visited and tried the Pura Vida Acai Bowl, which was every bit as delightful as I hoped. Playa Bowls has created a great atmosphere that blends beachy vibes with vibrant decor—perfect for catching up with friends or simply enjoying a solo escape into deliciousness. Flavor & Texture The Pura Vida Acai Bowl is loaded with fresh ingredients that feel carefully chosen and well-balanced. The base is a smooth and creamy acai blend, chilled to perfection, with a consistency that’s thick enough to hold up the toppings without feeling too heavy. Every bite is packed with flavor—sweet from the acai and bananas, with a touch of tartness from the strawberries and blueberries. The granola adds a satisfying crunch, which contrasts nicely with the creaminess of the acai. Topped with a drizzle of honey, the bowl has the perfect hint of sweetness without overpowering the natural flavors. Portion Size & Presentation One thing I love about Playa Bowls is that they don’t skimp on the portions. The Pura Vida bowl is generous, making it a perfect choice for breakfast, a mid-day snack, or even a light lunch. The toppings are beautifully arranged, making it as visually appealing as it is delicious. Ambiance & Service The Wilmington location has a laid-back, welcoming vibe that aligns perfectly with Playa Bowls’ beachy branding. The staff is friendly and efficient, always ready with recommendations and willing to make adjustments if you have dietary preferences. The atmosphere feels casual yet clean, and you’ll often see locals stopping in for their go-to orders. Price & Value For the quality of ingredients and portion size, I think Playa Bowls offers excellent value. The Pura Vida Acai Bowl is priced reasonably compared to other acai bowls in the area, and the freshness and flavor make it worth every penny. It’s a satisfying, nourishing option for anyone looking to eat healthy without compromising on taste. Overall Experience If you’re an acai bowl lover or new to the trend, the Pura Vida at Playa Bowls is a fantastic option. Playa Bowls brings a taste of the tropics to Wilmington, with high-quality ingredients and an inviting atmosphere that’s hard to beat. I highly recommend giving the Pura Vida Acai Bowl a try—it’s a flavorful, wholesome treat that leaves you feeling both energized and indulged."
