Healthy Playa Bowls in Bloomfield

Playa Bowls has opened on W. Maple Avenue, just east of Telegraph in Bloomfield Township. The franchise concept is the vision of founders Robert Giuliani and Abby Taylor – both Jersey Shore natives and long-time surfers. They were inspired by chasing summer on surf trips to Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, California and 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. Their popular pop-up stand grew quickly and the couple decided to take their business to the next level. Fast forward eight years – and they now have over 150 stores nationwide. The Bloomfield Township location is the fourth franchise to open in Michigan. Playa Bowls serves up bowls made with a variety of ingredients including fruit and other healthy options. In addition to bowls made with fresh ingredients, the spot also serves smoothies, coffee and juices. Popular bowls include the 8th Avenue bowl featuring pure acai topped with granola, banana and honey, and the Dragonberry bowl, which is a pitaya blend topped with granola, strawberry, blueberry and honey. 4087 Maple Road, Bloomfield playabowls.com/location/bloomfield-hills/
