Atlanta residents, get ready for some delicious news! A new açaí bowl and smoothie shop, Playa Bowls, is making its way to the Powers Ferry Square shopping center, located on Roswell Road in the heart of Chastain Park. This vibrant spot will be nestled comfortably between the Aillea cosmetics store and the facial studio Clean Your Dirty Face. The new location, which spans nearly 1,200 square feet, takes over the space formerly occupied by PhatYuca.
Fresh Flavors Coming Your Way!
Founded in New Jersey in 2014, Playa Bowls is known for its refreshing and healthy options. Their menu is a tropical paradise that features various bowls, including açaí, pitaya, mango, green, and coconut. But that’s not all! They also serve up tasty oatmeal, fresh juices, smoothies, and even cold brew coffee. With more than 200 locations across the United States, including eight right here in Georgia, Playa Bowls has become a beloved stop for many health-conscious eaters.
In Atlanta alone, you’ll find Playa Bowls along the popular BeltLine, with additional spots in Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Chamblee, Peachtree Corners, Sugar Hill, and Athens. It’s clear that this franchise is quickly becoming a favorite for those looking to grab a refreshing meal on the go.
