I have been craving an acai bowl for weeks and decided that was going to be my lunch today. This place is located near my work. They are right outside Schofield Barracks on the back side near Kemo'o Farms Pub and Grill. This was my first time but their menu and pictures made it easy to decide what I wanted. If you're paying by cash you pay at the window. Otherwise there is a tablet for you to place your order and pay. I went with the Aloha Bowl because it had all the fruits I like in it. The bowl also included honey and I had the option of no honey, honey or agave. I just got the large bowl for $16.90. They do offer two sizes and I was very happy to see the calorie information on the menu. It was ready in about 5 minutes. There are tables there with a nice view of Wilson Lake but I took mine to go. When I returned to my office I dug in. Everything was perfect! Bananas, strawberries and blueberries were all nice and ripe. I did appreciate the amount if banana. The acai was nice and cold and had the right amount of sweetness. I ate it all and really enjoyed it. I deducted a star only for the price. It's definitely higher than other places I've seen but I will definitely return again, just maybe not too often. read more

Stopped by this spot in Wahiawa near Schofield Army Base and it did not disappoint. Parking is street parking, but it wasn't too bad when we went. There's limited seating by the water, which was actually available at the time, though we noticed a lot of people were doing takeout. The açaí base was so good and honestly one of the top ones we've tried on island. Super smooth, not icy, and really flavorful. The avocado purée was a personal favorite. I grew up eating avocado as a dessert, so that part really hit home for me and made this bowl extra special. Staff was very friendly and welcoming, which always makes the experience better. Great vibes, great açaí, and definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. read more

Acai Republic - The Tahiti with avocado cream - Acai Bowls Near Me - Wahiawa, Hawaii

Best view at an acai bowl place ever! And the acai is super smooth, not frozen and the consistency is perfect! Will definitely be back to enjoy my acai over the lake from the back patio. The wife loved the ducks and other random wild animals you could see! Well worth it and will be our new acai bowl place! read more

The avocado cream . I've always drove past this place heading out to NS but decided to try here since I hit up another spot I've been eyeing out. But anyways, this little shop is a true hidden gem. The lady helping us was the kindest person. Even though it was short staffed she was extremely kind and empathetic to each and every customer waiting. Their payment system is self ordering and she fulfills the orders behind the kitchen. I ordered the Layered Avocado cream with banana, bee pollen and coconut shreds. The açaí was nice and tart with the hint of sweet but once I got to that avocado cream... Omg!!!! So creamy and a nice avocado flavor. I asked if they sold JUST the avocado cream but she said they don't. . The view was an added plus. Downstairs bar seating with the sunny view of lake Wilson. It's truly a relaxing spot I'd come back too and I hope they'll be able to sell me the avocado cream too! Ahaha read more

This place is located in Wahiawa. It's by Schofield barracks. Parking sucks but it's worth the parking. This is a chain located in California and i am surprised they made their way here. The acai here is way better than California. I was surprised. I got the layers of paradise with mango cream and boy, that hit the spot. The acai mix with mango, honey, and granola hit so good on a hot day. The acai is ice cream texture. The ones in California is liquid and melts too fast. I give this acai a 5/5. You can't leave unless you get the cheese bread. It's so hot and cheesy and it was amazing. Overall it's not much to say but 4.7/5. The service is pretty fast for only 2 people and they're super friendly. It's a grab and go type ambiance and overall I recommend this place. read more

I had hear about the layers of paradise, had mixed feelings of the thought of avocado being in it but I gave in and tried it. It's delicious. The avocado is creamy, sweet, nutty tasting. Goes well with the Acai. Bruno great choice on adding to the menu. Thank you for sharing a piece of your home in Brazil. The only interaction I had with someone was when they called me for my order. Plenty seating that views the lake Wilson. read more

Acai Republic - The Sandwich from today - Acai Bowls Near Me - Wahiawa, Hawaii

Came in today and I got the large açaí bowl with almost butter topping ( extra charge ) and extra granola ( extra charge ) . Acai itself was pretty good and the view was nice. I do have a few ehhhs about my experience though. No one greeted when we arrived . Person inside who makes the available saw us ordering on the machine but not even a hi or welcome ! Even the other service who brought down açaí bowls for the customers downstairs didn't even say hi .. okay cool that's fine . I ordered extra granola which didn't look like nothing was in the açaí bowl , I love granola like I need it lol . That's why I ordered extra ..... couldn't believe how much granola ( that comes with my order ) and my extra order I placed on the side was put in my açaí bowl .... So in the picture I ordered another group of extra granola which is in the container .... $1.60 + tax's for this small portion cup .. kind of sad but I needed my granola with my açaí.. I've tried many açaí places , even though price is high it's pretty worth it with the portion they provide but kind of sad with my açaí and granola today .... read more

It was way better before they were part of a franchise. The volume is reduced yet the prices are higher and the açaí doesn't taste anywhere as good. There are much better places around. read more

Tried others and this still remains our favorite! Waikiki bowl is our fave and the consistency is worth our coming back.

Parking was pretty full out front so we parked further down in the parking lot that says for pick up only and walked. My husband got the large aloha bowl. Which was the basic açaí bowl with bananas and strawberries and granola. He said it was delicious. I got the layers of paradise with lilikoi cream. This was absolutely delicious the creaminess went so well together. I did wish it was in a bowl not a cup so I could eat both together. But overall delicious. In the middle of no where but so good! read more

One of my favourite acai places. (Lots of granola). If you haven't tried the coxinha at least once, I highly recommend it- fried fresh and better than most fried chicken and fries I've ever had. I love to start my morning there with a Waikiki bowl :) read more

Woman behind the counter was extremely nice. Answered our questions on menu items. We tried the layer Acai and cheese bread... OMG DELICIOUS! We will be back soon. Cute lanai that overlooks the Wahiawa Reservoir with a nice breeze. read more

Service 5/5 love the vibes I was getting from the lady, I went 30 minutes before closing so they were only doing acai bowls and i asked for her recommendation between the layers of paradise or the oahu bowl and she enthusiastically replied with the layers of paradise. She then suggested Nutella and I'm glad I got it in the end!!! Soo ono and service made it even better. Returning soon, and don't be afraid to try the avocado :p read more

Acai Republic - The lake behind the Açaí restaurant - Acai Bowls Near Me - Wahiawa, Hawaii

Perfect stop on the way to the North Shore!!! Hands down, best acai I've ever had!!! We tried all the 3 flavors of the "Layers of Paradise" - the mango, lilikoi and avocado! I thought I'd like the mango best, but surprisingly, they were ALL equally delicious!!! The granola they top it with was so crunchy and flavorful and they add condensed milk too which made it so rich and creamy!!!! Our daughter also got the cheese balls which were freshly made and Guarana drink, which are 2 more must haves! Our family is hooked and definitely coming back! read more

Just came by with the family and had the best Açaí ever. Seriously! 3 of us had the "Layers of Paradise" with Açaí and Mango. Really quality açaí with a creamy mango layer and granola & condensed milk sauce on top. So good! Our daughter had the Brazilian Cheese Bread. Never had it before, but now I want to order a lot of it next time! Crispy flaky outside and soft & cheesy inside. New favorite spot in Wahiawa. You can sit and eat on the nice deck overlooking the lake. Owners are super nice people. Try it and you won't be disappointed. read more

Amazing! Seen a video on meanhawaii's instagram page of the "layers of paradise" and just had to come check it out! Met the owner when we got there and his service was amazing! He threw in a Coxinha w/ creamcheese for us to try out which we never tried and it was good! The crunch on the outside with a soft flavorful inside! THE AVOCADO CREAM WAS MWAH I was so excited to try it out that when I ordered on the screen I didn't realize I got to pick 2 fruits to go on top so that's why you don't see fruits on my layered paradise I was scrolling so fast couldn't wait to try! my fault for not reading I did get some fruits on the side for the kiddies! Along with Nutella & lilikoi cream! Lilikoi cream was a little too tart for me but if you're someone who's into tarty then yes that's for you! The view! There's an amazing area that you can lounge and enjoy yourself with a view of the lake! My kids looooved it!! They could see the ducks on the other side of the river and was getting so excited! Definitely a spot you can kick back read a book, eat an amazing authentic acai bowl with a nice view! read more

The Aloha Bowl was amazingly delicious with just as high-quality ingredients you could find anywhere else on the island. But the delicious food isn't even the best part, because the views downstairs looking over the lake are perfect for looking at while enjoying your açaí. Very Appreciative of the phenomenal service as well. If you find yourself driving to North Shore, stop by for sure. read more

Acai Republic - Avocado layers of paradise - Acai Bowls Near Me - Wahiawa, Hawaii

Açaí is watered down with other fruit flavors, , the place before it was better imo ‍

They use to be Maluawai Cafe and this was the best place for acai! I would tell everyone about it. However, after gaining new ownership I assume with the name change to Acai Republic, the quality of acai has gone down. Acai isn't as concentrated of a flavor but feels diluted with bananas now. It's still better than Jamba Juice. But it is comparable to every other place. I missed the old Maluawai and their recipe for acai. Place and ambience is still cool overlooking the lake. Friendly customer service. They have other options too for food and drinks. read more

This place is located at old Kemoo Farms. We were craving acai bowls and this place delivered. We also got a couple turkey sandwiches that hit the spot. Everything was fresh and tasty. There were only two gentlemen working so the wait was a little long but it was worth it. We sat at a table overlooking the lake. Whatcha great view. read more

I got the Peanut Butter smoothie from here. And omg, soooo good! This is our second time here and I find their dining area to be one of my favorite parts about this place also. It's a very cute, quiet, little sitting area that looks out to the old wahiawa river. They even have a downstairs level. The service was very fast and friendly. The lady who took our order is the same woman that made our order & she even walks out each order to her customers once it's completed. There was 5 people including myself. My sister got the Tahiti acai bowl and loved every bite! She said the fruits were all very fresh and perfectly ripe. But what she loves the most about their açaí bowls is how they really whip the açaí which is very different from a lot of places. because most of the time, you get that previously frozen texture of acai. read more

Respect the wassabi! Get the Dragon tears and you won't need to eat for two days!! It's magical!

Rude staff and horrible food handling, The coxinha is not authentic and they advertise it to have a specific Brazilian cheese it does not. It's sad to see this place getting run down by lazy workers. I've been coming here for 2 years now and it's been a steady decline. All the fried food is left under a heat lamp all day so if you don't get it completely fresh it's going to be hard and almost impossible to eat they also don't update their prices the board outside says one thing but when your ready to pay it's a 20% increase in price that they blame it on their card reader saying " oh sorry square must be charging more " would not recommend read more

I've haven't tried anything else but their acai bowl & it's really good! I just think it's just too sweet for my preference. I had to force myself to eat it all bc after couple bites, it was just too sweet for me but if in wahiawa, I'll Probly still come back here for more! But I do live in north shore so I rather just go to Haleiwa Bowls for my acai bowl cravings! Still a great place doe! I'm also willing to try other the others on their menu! Seems good! read more

I'm not sure what they put in the acai, but it is incredibly watery and lacks flavor. Other reviewers mentioned diluted flavor and I would agree. Service is slow for how long it should actually take to make. Not friendly, makes you feel like you're just being a bother. Go elsewhere for better acai. read more

used to be my favorite acai place by a landslide 5 stars all around-- one of the few that tasted like a real acai base, nothing added but they recently merged with acai republic and tastes like any other generic acai chain. the color of the acai bowls aren't deep purple like they used to be, just tastes like a smoothie bowl. genuinely devastated.. that's how much i used to love this place. now gotta find another acai place :/ read more
