Like I mentioned in the caption, I'm not exaggerating when I say the açaí bowls at Aloha Aina are the best I've ever had. That's a huge claim, but nothing else has come close for me. The flavors, the texture, the freshness, everything is just spot on every single time. And honestly, it's not just the açaí bowls. Pretty much everything on the menu stands out. The smoothies are incredible, the ingredients always taste fresh, and somehow everything feels healthy while still tasting great. One of my favorite spots to grab something quick that actually tastes amazing. The staff and management are awesome too, and the whole place just has a really good vibe. You can genuinely feel the Aloha in everything they do. God, I love this place. Here's a tip: order online from their website and skip the line. There is always a line and it's so much faster to just walk in and have your item already waiting for you. You just go straight to the counter for pick up and bingo bango. read more

I'm surprised by all the good reviews here because I was not impressed at all. I got the Chunky Monkey 2.0 which comes with peanut butter. The acai itself was very icy and tasted thin and diluted. All the fruit toppings besides the banana were clearly frozen not fresh which was rather disappointing - to me that just shows an utter lack of care for quality. This bowl also comes with chocolate chips as the default although you have the option to sub cacao nibs for $1. Overall, a pretty underwhelming experience. It is very apparent that the ingredients and recipes here are not made with aloha. I'm sure there are better options elsewhere on the island. In terms of value, their prices aren't exactly cheap either. Also worth noting: they charge a 3.7% service fee to use credit card which seems rather high. Bring cash. read more

We were in the area and I wanted to check out their juices. I ordered the soursop lemonade and the waiwai lemi with ni'oi (chili pepper water). The soursop lemonade was good, not enough sour. The waiwai was interesting, not the normal chili pepper water I am used to only because it tasted like chili pepper flakes and not Hawaiian chili peppers. Service was quick with those drinks probably because it's all premade. The girls was nice to answer any questions like the nearest restroom (down the hallway next to panda express). There is a lot of parking stalls and other business in the area you can eat at. read more

One of my favorite places to eat on the island. Service is so quick and staff is always friendly. Food is so fresh, best açaí bowl place on the island. Smoothies and coffee are also so tasty. Limited seating offered inside but there is seating outside and around the shopping center. More of a place to pick up food rather than dine in. Inside is so cute, and they have lots of cool merch to purchase as well! And the best part is, this place is local owned and run! read more

Aloha ‘Āina Juice Cafe - Loaded Avocado Toast with half drunken Puhi Protein in the top right corner - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

I had a couple hour layover in Kauai and stopped by Aloha Aina Juice Cafe. The Nui açaí bowl was everything I didn't know I needed after a long flight. Super refreshing and loaded up with haupia, fresh banana, mango, papaya, local honey, and the of course the nui, (toasted coconut flakes) on top. It was literally perfect; tropical, chilled, and totally satisfying. This is a cute little spot with good energy and even better ingredients. I can't wait to be back on island so I can go back. read more

Good food, but the service has been consistently unfriendly. We've visited several times and have had the same experience each visit.

We got the Niu (Coconut) bowl and it was super delicious! It comes with coconut pudding cut into cubes, granola, Acai base, mangoes, papaya, and bananas. I added coconut chia pudding on top as an extra add on. Overall, the bowl hit the spot and was really fresh. The papaya was perfectly ripe and sweet. read more

Sooo delicious!! Ordered the chunky monkey w half açaí and half pitaya. Absolutely delightful! Generous amts of granola and peanut butter.

Delicious & refreshing juice, smoothies, & açaí bowls. Great to have after a long humid day. My daughter got the Kool Keiki - she said it tasted similar to Jamba Juice. She enjoyed how it was sweet with a bit of a tangy flavor. I got the Wake up & Live - that was made with carrots, apple, ginger, etc. the drink was good. You can really taste the ginger, which I really liked bc it clears your throat. The service was good, the lady was patient & recommended drinks to me since it was our first time. Small inside, but good space outside with tables to enjoy your drink. read more

This place was good but definitely not the best I had in Kauai. It seemed to be a local stop. The thing that threw me off was that some of their fruit was frozen. I understand fruit can't always be in season but it should definitely be clearly advertised if you will be receiving frozen fruit in your bowl. The staff weren't very friendly and seemed to just want us to hurry up and order. They also weren't very helpful when I was asking questions. read more

This was my favorite of the 3 different açaí bowl locations I tried while on vacation in Kauai. We had the chunky monkey and it was delicious. Not the prettiest or best presentation of a bowl but taste wise it was best. I loved that it was layered, it was nice to also have granola and peanut butter on the bottom of the frozen acai base read more

I have to constantly feed my addiction to acai bowls. These had some fun little island twists to the bowls and I've never tried poi before (Hawaiian taro that's mashed up), so it was nice to try something completely different. read more

Smoothie was really good and I am coming back again soon ! It was the best thing I ever tasted

Line and wait is super long. They make the items for locals instead of making things in order. The lady came after me and she stood there as the workers made hers directly as they are putting together 10 other bowl orders they haven't finished yet. When they finish, they don't even call or press your number for your buzzer. I was pretty sure it was mine, but I don't want to assume since my buzzer didn't work and waited and waited and waited as my bowl is just melting. I finally went up and asked if it was my number and they asked if I had ordered something else with it. No I did not! Now my bowl is half melted. So annoying. At least it's not super overpriced like some of the other açaí bowl places. read more

We have frequented Aloha Aina for a number of years, their smoothies and acai bowls are excellent, particularly their pitaya bowl(my personal favorite). However for about the last year or more the service has been extremely unfriendly, unwelcoming and unappreciated. Sadly I have no interest in going in anymore even though they have a few of my favorite treats on Kauai. If you go, you'll likely enjoy it, just don't expect friendly positive service. read more

We ordered a Chunky Monkey and a berry acai. The açaí was rather icy. The biggest issue was the indifferent attitude of the service.

The açaí bowl base flavor was good, but the consistency was icier than expected. It was also weird and disappointing that they used frozen fruit as the topping when the bowls are $14. We've had many açaí bowls in kauai and maui and have never had frozen fruit as a topping (even the blueberries were frozen). It was average at best. read more

Best juice on the island, located right in Līhuʻe. My go-to is the waiwai lemi WITH da nīoi, hands down the BEST! Love that you can order online and pick up or enjoy the beautiful outdoor space that they have. Aloha ʻĀina is the only place we get juice. The quality can be tasted through all their different drink options and don't even get me STARTED on their breakfast croissants! Better than the juice/food is the service, straight aloha served here and you can feel that they love what they do! Kaliah has helped us numerous times and she's always so sweet and if my keiki can't decide what to get, she suggests a fun option that they always love!!! read more

Swung by here to get calories in us after the flight. They have everything: shakes, açaí bowls, coffee, and juice. We got four berry açaí bowls, a puhi protein shake, and a cold brew coffee with oat milk (I assumed I would need the milk for bad coffee). The bowls were awesome: freshly cut fruit, delicious crunchy granola and lots of both over a bed of frozen delicious açaí. The shake was also great: most shakes with protein powder are grainy, this was not at all, it was just delicious and incredibly filling. Lastly the coffee: it was great. The oat milk was good and offset any bitterness, but they use cold brew to make their ice cubes, high level stuff for a juice bar. Next time I would skip the oat milk, it was that good. Overall we loved it and will swing by on the way to the airport. read more

We stopped at Aloha Aina for a quick breakfast before a beach day, and overall it was pretty good! They have a large selection of signature bowls, but it's also easy to modify or build your own. I ordered the Chunky Monkey Bowl and my friends chose the Tropical Chia Bowl, Berry Bowl, and Niu Bowl. Service was surprisingly quick, staff was friendly, and they even had little souvenirs for sale inside. There's no indoor seating since the shop is quite small, but there are a few tables right outside. All the bowls we tried were good (not mind blowing, but a very solid breakfast) and we were happy to get a quick start to our day! read more

We tried about every Acai place on the island and let me say, this was by far our favorite! Since our tubing tour guide told us about it, we went 1-2 times a day during our time here. From the moment I stepped into this cozy local acai shop, I was greeted by an inviting ambiance and the smell of homemade granola and fresh acai. The menu boasts a diverse selection of acai bowls, each a masterpiece of flavors and textures. The attention to detail is evident in the way every ingredient complements the other, resulting in a symphony of taste. The acai itself is velvety and bursting with natural sweetness, while the toppings range from crunchy granola to an assortment of vibrant fruits that add both color and taste. The staff here are a true testament to their commitment to customer satisfaction. With their friendly demeanor and willingness to customize orders, they ensure that every visit is tailored to your preferences. The best part... they layer their toppings! Most places have the worst acai to topping ratio. But not here! They layer the bottom with a good amount of nut butter of your choosing and granola, making every bite amazing! Whether you're seeking a wholesome breakfast, a post-workout treat, or a guilt-free indulgence, this place has you covered. Their portion sizes are generous, making it an excellent value for your money. I've had the pleasure of visiting multiple times, and each experience has been consistently outstanding. I can't recommend this local business enough. We have been daydreaming about this place since we left and cannot wait till we can go back! read more

This place was recommended by two different people. And it didn't disappoint! I paid $11+ tax and tip for the Li'i (medium) sized Chunky Monkey. I love sweet foods but this size of acai I probably could've gone for a small because of the PB, choco chips and granola and honey that made it so sweet. Online it says they open at 7am but they open at 8am during M-F. The girl working behind the counter was very cheerful and sweet. They sell merch too! Stickers, shop shirts, papale hats and other wide brimmed hats. read more

This was our last stop before hitting the airport (which is only 7 min away from here) and BOYYYYY did it hit the spot!!! SO many creative options, I couldn't choose!!!! After panicked deliberation, we finally went with the "Niu Bowl", which consisted of haupia (coconut pudding), acai, banana, mango, coconut flakes, and granola. The acai was delightfully sweet and refreshing, unlike the sour acai in Oahu. I was also surprised by how AMAZINGLY well the haupia went with everything!! Seriously *chef's kiss* AF. I savored every bit of this bowl, and it left me in a great mood as I boarded my flight afterwards. I've had my fair share of acai bowls living in Oahu, but Kauai does it infinitely better. Plenty of plaza parking available. There's also a public bathroom around the corner, for those who always need to pee like me LOL Very friendly staff, small but cute place. Several outdoor seating options outside the cafe as well! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to Kauai for a visit. read more

I traveled from Maui to explore Kauai, spending about $250 on a quick round-trip adventure. One of the stops I was really looking forward to was Aloha Juice -- I had heard so much about it and couldn't wait to try it. I arrived exactly at 2:45 PM after a long day, excited to finally experience it. When I asked, "What's your sweetest juice?" about four employees looked at each other before one (with black hair) responded, "Oh, we close in 10 minutes -- no juice." I explained I had come all the way from Maui and asked if they could make just one juice, especially since I still had 15 minutes before closing. Unfortunately, they didn't offer much help and seemed more focused on closing early, even though there were several staff members available. I completely understand wanting to wrap up for the day -- everyone deserves to go home . It was a disappointing experience for a place I was so excited to support. read more

We visited Aloha Aina Juice Cafe on Thursday, Oct 28th. We wanted to squeeze in one last acai bowl on our last morning in Hawaii (and right before our flight back home) and I was so thankful that we got to do so! We came around 10 am and there weren't many people. We took a little bit to decide on what to get because everything looked so yummy! I decided to order the Niu to try something different since it sounded unique and it doesn't look like we have something like this back in socal. The following is the description from the menu: Niu (Coconut) Base layered with granola, coconut flakes and haupia (coconut pudding) topped with banana, mango, papaya and honey - Keiki $8.25 Annddd let me tell you, the Niu was AMAZING and lived up to its hype haha. I loved the coconut pudding on top, which was nice, soft, and sweetened to perfection. It kind of reminded me of almond pudding but with a creamy coconut instead. It balanced out the fruity base layer and added to the differing textures with the blend of acai, granola, and coconut shavings. The Niu tasted unique and was def different than the traditional acai bowls that you can get anywhere. It was a refreshing treat on a warm, rainy day haha! My sister in law even said that it was one of her fave 'meals' in Kauai lol One random thing was before I got my bowl, I heard one of the staff in the back tip the bowl over (on the table) and all the toppings came off. Of course that was my bowl ... so it came back lookin a lil rough around the edges but was oh so tasty. Also, they were giving out free avocados, which I thought was such a nice gesture. Our family picked a few for the little kiddos to eat. All in all, if I come back to Kauai, I will definitely be back! :') read more
