Playa bowls in Apex
By L. Syphax
Playa Bowls is opening its 4th North Carolina location right on historic Salem Street in Apex.
What began as a pair of blenders, a patio table, and a fridge has flourished into over 300+ shops, thousands of team members, 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 & longtime 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.
This new location couldn’t be a better fit for the downtown vibe of everything Salem St. has to offer, especially on hot humid days. It feels like you’re walking off the beach and into a mom-and-pop custom açaí joint with the writing on the wall: “Rad since 2014"
If you have the pleasure to chat with Dana, the manager who’s overseen all 4 locations, she’ll be the first to tell you to try her favorite bowl, the Pacific bowl with a 1/2 coconut base.
Playa Bowls' menu is built on fresh ingredients and is eco-friendly, as part of their mission, by using ECO bowls, spoons, lids, and straws in every location.
Employee and customer favorite was the famous Nutella bowl with playa açaí, topped with granola, banana, strawberry, coconut flakes, and last but not least: NUTELLA. The next item that we highly recommend is the Electric Mermaid bowl that’s Playa Pitaya, granola, pineapple, mango, kiwi, coconut flakes, and honey! While sitting in their air-conditioned surf-style oasis on an 86-degree summer day… the electric mermaid was the perfect hot summer refresher.
