New Jersey-based Playa Bowls will open its first location in the state this Saturday, May 22.
Playa Bowls Ohio State will bring a menu of superfruit bowls, smoothies and juices to 1952 N. High St., a former Subway location across from OSU’s campus.
Founded by surfers Abby Taylor and Rob Giuliani, the owners took inspiration from the post-surf treats they found on trips to sunny destinations across the globe, from Panama to California and Hawaii. What started as a pop-up on the boardwalk of their home town has now expanded to 113 locations across the country.
Father-son team William and Brett Coleman will helm the Columbus location.
Guests can dig into a menu of pre-vetted creations, or opt to DIY their bowls. Bases include acai, pitaya, coconut, green, chia, banana and oatmeal, and are topped with the likes of fresh fruit, seeds and nuts, granola, nut butters and more. For the sipping crowd, there’s also a large selection of smoothies and juices.
Playa Bowls opens at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 22 and will provide free bowls for the first 50 customers and t-shirts for the first 100 guests.
Regular operating hours will be 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. daily.
