A new eatery offering playa bowls is set to open soon at The Station at Riverdale Park.

Located at 6740 45th St. in the former Cafe Azul space, Roxa Bowl will feature bowls, smoothies and toast made with fresh fruits and berries.

Açaí berries have become popular in the last few years, as they are considered a “superfruit” with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Roxa Bowl aims to go even farther than chains such as the popular Playa Bowls chain, which has a location in College Park, by featuring certified organic and non-GMO Açaí berries imported from Belém do Pará in Brazil.

Dishes will also have much less sugar and processing, and there will be options for kids such as a sweet toast with condensed milk and strawberry topping.

Roxa, pronounced RO-hah, means purple in Portuguese, the color of the berries.
