Playa Bowls opened its doors at 535 Broadway, between 24th and 25th Streets in June and is now serving fresh and healthy fruit-based creations to the community.
The iconic brand is well known for its colorful boardwalk-inspired interiors and for serving up creative beach-themed Playa Bowls made of a fresh fruit base, then capped with a variety of toppings. According to the Playa Bowls website, their signature fruit bowls offer seven bases including acai, pitaya, coconut, banana, chia pudding, oatmeal, and a kale-based green option. Toppings range from the familiar to the adventurous and include coconut flakes, granola, honey, goji berries, Nutella and more.
Initially an innovator in the acai bowl industry, today visitors can expect the choice of 37 different bowls to choose from! And if one of them doesn’t satisfy what you are looking for, they can always do a custom one. Playa Bowls also offers smoothies, juices, and one-of-a-kind cold brew coffees to patrons.
The business was founded by Robert Giuliani & Abby Taylor, both New Jersey natives, in 2014 after being inspired by their surfing trips to destinations in the US, Puerto Rico, and Central America. At almost each exotic surf town they visited, the local vendors offered their own unique version of an acai or pitaya bowl. Inspired by these experiences, the team opened their business in 2014 in Belmar, NJ as a make-shift boardwalk pop-up and was an instant success. Since then, Playa Bowls has grown to over 170 locations.
The Bayonne store is open from 8 AM to 10 PM seven days a week. The location was previously occupied by CrossFit Bayonne
