“Robeks is easily the best smoothie shop in this area and there are a lot of smoothie shops in this area! I have enjoyed every Robeks smoothie I have ever had. The carefully created smoothies on their menu are delicious and are completely customizable if you want to omit, change, or add an ingredient. That is great for people on various restrictive diets. I also love the Build Your Own option! When I am not in the mood for one of the smoothies on the menu because I am not in the mood for sherbet, yogurt, or protein powder, I use the BYO to order smoothies with tons of fruit and a little juice. Sometimes, I even order a second very fruity BYO, so I can put one in my freezer and eat it like Italian ice the next day. Try it, you'll love it!“
“After the gym, I like to go here and get healthy ingredients needed for my body. I come here towards the end of the day, but they are always respectful and nice people working there. Very delicious smoothies and bowls!Parking: Sometimes it’s hard to find parking on a busy day and might have to find parking around the shopping center.“
“Love this place!Started going to the one in Alexandria, now I’m making a habit of stopping in when I see them out and about! Great açaí bowls and smoothies with tons of options for customizations.This location was no different. Fast, friendly, and clean :)Vegan diets are difficult sometimes.Thank you for making it easy!“
“What began as a pair of blenders, a patio table, and a fridge has flourished into over 200+ stores, thousands of employees, and a mission to lead communities in healthy, sustainable living.The Playa Bowls™ concept is the vision of founders Robert Giuliani & Abby Taylor — both Jersey Shore natives & long time surfers. Abby grew up in Ocean Township surfing the beaches of Monmouth County, while Rob grew up surfing in Ocean County. They were inspired by chasing summer on surf trips to Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, California & Hawaii. Almost every exotic surf town they visited offered their own unique version of an acai or pitaya bowl. They decided to recreate their favorite recipes with their own twist at home at the Jersey Shore.They made a deal with the owner of the pizza shop they lived above on 8th Avenue in Belmar, NJ. They bought a blender, a patio table, a fridge & a freezer and set up a makeshift pop up stand on the sidewalk in front of the pizza shop. They spent a lot of time & effort telling their story and educating customers on the benefits of acai. As word spread of this creative & intuitive pop up stand, more & more people stood in line on the side of Ocean Avenue to see what Playa Bowls was all about. Rob & Abby realized it was time to take their growing business to the next level. Fast forward nine years & here we are, sharing our story & passion at over 200 stores nation wide.They serve our communities the highest quality, innovative products to support healthier lifestyles and inspire a world of fun, excitement and togetherness.At Playa Bowls, they LIVE there brand in actions and in the relationships that they make in our communities. Our focus is to provide a bowl full of deliciousness to every guest, delivered with authenticity and passion for the Playa way.There dedication to our mission, and refusal to cut corners has made Playa Bowls™ a standout leader in this space, helping us realize exponential franchise growth, opening over 200+ stores in the past nine years.“
“This playa bowls location has been the most convenient for me since I work around here. Parking is easy, occasionally I would get busy, but never so busy that you can’t find a place to sit and enjoy your carefully crafted smoothie bowls. Love it so much!“
“Love Playa Bowls!!! I’ve been to a couple locations and like to try different items on their menu. They have fresh, healthy ingredients which make a huge difference. I don’t feel guilty going here for a delicious treat! They never disappoint!“
“Really nice place! It uses touch screen to order and the food was made timely and delicious. The service was nice and the atmosphere, though a little cramped, is very friendly and relaxed. This will have been my second time being here and I don't think it will be my last!“
