“I have loved this place since the original in Little Silver when they were lunch and a small dinner venue. They had the best homemade soup. Now that they have expanded and our primarily breakfast and lunch the are still amazing. And I've been to multiple....Toms River, Long Branch, Sea Girt, Cherry Hill, etc. Consistent no matter which one you go to. And the coffee is amazing too. I love my French presses!“
“Perfect relaxing breakfast with the family. Seated right away on a Wednesday morning. Friendly wait staff and great service. Ordered The big easy benedict and huevos rancheros, a French press, German chocolate latte and 3 different hot chocolates (for the kiddos). Everything was delicious and fresh. The price is very good if not better than most common diners in this area. The food and coffee is 1000% better too. This is our favorite breakfast place when we visit NJ. Definitely recommend.“
“Do you ever taste something and wonder how you ever lived without it? That's exactly how I feel about Playa Bowl it's so delectable. I don't like chocolate so finding a snack to satisfy my tastebuds isn't easy but Playa has so many options and is so amazing in flavor. The menu is huge and you can easily order the items on the menu as is or feel free to remove items on any bowl and just as substitute with many other items. It's a really popular spot so you might want to order online and don't fret if your bowl is ready before you arrive the staff will always place it inside the mini refrigerator. The staff handles the droves of customers with ease and work well together juggling online orders and in person patrons. The store has a very nautical feel to it you have the feeling of being at a dock or the beach. They also sell t-shirts, sweatshirts, tanks, tumblers for beverages, baseball caps, and joggers just to name a few all with the company logo. If you don't want a bowl feel free to order a fruit blended drink.....the best treat to indulge in can be found at Playa Bowl.“

“Food is DELICIOUS & healthy...what more could u ask for? Great service? Dana provided that, as well as went above & beyond w a special request! I'm happy to support somewhere local & will be returning often! Thank u Dana & Melonhead of SeaBright!“
“We love Melonhead. Especially the Red Bank location 'cause it's much closer to us. It's convenient, cute, and quiet. The smoothies and bowls taste fresh and are always on point. Yesterday we met Alana who was highly exceptional and provided awesome customer service. I honestly thought she was this location's new manager. She was super friendly and is very devoted to her job. You guys are lucky to have her!? ?Update: I highly suggest more thorough customer service training with the young people who work here. Especially customer service training over the phone when talking to people.“
“I've been coming to this spot for years. The food is consistently good and the waitstaff has always been friendly. Coffee is great too and I am a bit of a coffee snob. I love their vanilla latte. Cozy on the inside and nice location on Cookman. Red Bank location is wonderful also- different vibe inside but food just as good.“
“FOOD = 5 STAR Ambiance = 3 star Service = 1 star When the crackers for the soup fall on the floor as the server was walking with it.. DON'T pick them up off the floor and put them on the customer's table to be eaten.. it's GROSS.. the server was nice, but they clearly have no clue about food service. Used to love this place.. but will NEVER be back I left a 5 star review because it's not the owner's fault.“
“Relatively new to holistic health and the importance of legitimate natural products. The owner/manager not only has an array of these, he had something for everything and a wealth of knowledge on top of that! I have allergies and he went through multiple products to find ones that fit my needs. He was kind, thoughtful and informative. He even made suggestions and provided samples for my infant that were extremely helpful! For being a store that stocks some of the most exclusive and unique products, the prices were reasonable. So nice to know that I now have a one stop shop for my family’s health needs!“
“In a strip center, easy to find. We tried the butternut squash soup, white bean with vegetables, the carrots and ginger, the chicken chili and the portobello soup. All are amazing and will warm up your bones! My favorite was the carrot and ginger, and they are all homemade and delicious.“
“Great concept! Huge menu of bright and flavorful smoothies and smoothie bowls jam packed with fresh, whole fruits, veggies and grains. Everything is delicious and made to order. I absolutely love finding innovative and fun ways to eat fruits and veggies! I would love to see Playa Bowls branch out into the Pittsburgh, PA market!“
“I grabbed dinner here after a haircut. I wanted something quick yet healthy. Good choice! I had a bowl with Spinach, spring mix, herbed quinoa, blackened tofu, cucumbers, pickled onions, flavored chickpeas, and cold sweet potatoes. I chose the ranch and also the ginger dressing. I did not know they were going to toss the whole salad, so I'm lucky that those two flavors actually complemented each other so well! That tofu definitely had a kick, but my salad was delicious and filling. I will definitely come back here. Just be careful about which toppings you add because many are upcharged.“
“The cookman Ave location is by far my favorite. I’ve visited locations from NJ to MD and none of them have been as amazing as the cookman crew and the bowls are to die for, . I come everyday for my pure vida bowl. I am a customer forever!!“
“I stopped in here on a whim, as I was walking by after a nail appointment to pick up lunch. OMG! Everything looked so terrific I ended up getting quiche for lunch and a flounder meal to take home for dinner. Both were so delicious! I can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu“
