A newly met Yelp friend, Irene M…read more (https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=PtyUDtn4Is6S0TFRW9EOLQ), introduced me to this business when I mentioned my impending KCC farmers market visit. After walking the aisles, I saw their prominent sign at their stand as well as the crowd around it (). We studied the menu as we waited our turn with three people ahead of us. It was an easy decision for me with my propensity for pineapple drinks in ordering the Ginger Kolada (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=emfkmx2ayYTc9WInmUryjA). I was a little worried about the ginger flavor overwhelming the coconut and pineapple flavors but they were quickly dispelled. This was a refreshing drink and the ginger added a crispness to it along with the mint. I would get this again. My friend enjoyed his hibiscus drink. After ordering, we walked to the left of the tent where they made an expediting station. As drinks were made, the attentive gal called out order numbers. After a 6-7 minute wait, we were on our way. It was interesting to watch the mixologist craft the drinks akin to watching a bartender at work. I look forward to stopping here again and perhaps trying a seasonal flavor. If not, that Kolada will do.

As we are very similar in foodie like we both got the Peaceful Gratitude "Matcha Ginger Latte" which had the not of today's special and is the reason for ordering it as if it's not always available you need to try it and come on it's Matcha! Watching the staff put it together is like a bartender magic using 100% pure hand-crafted Hawaiian ginger is exactly something we both need as we both came straight from a long day at work the exhaust we both have was strengthen by this amazing sip we both inhaled...not before we cheers to ourselves lol! The vibe the staff exhume is just incredible so happy, friendly and willing for us to get that pic we really wanted as these drinks are just almost too stunning to sip. You can also find them at the KCC market on Saturday and Thursday nights in Kailua you must give this cool place a try! Thank you!

The smoothie was $7.50 plus $0.50 for two fruits and plus $0.50 for the boba. I tasted mango and only a slight soursop taste. It was ok. We got it at 100% sugar level and it was perfect for that smoothie. The boba was mushy. A lot of people ordered the avocado smoothie. I will try that the next time. They still only take cash. They don't charge tax.

My bf and I got the reusable jars so we could come back for $7 refills. This smoothie is such a good deal, idk if you can find fresh fruit smoothies for this price anywhere else on the island. My first time here I got the strawberry lychee, which was super good!! If you want a less sweet option the passion fruit mango has more of a tang/tartness. We got lucky the first time we came (on a Sunday morning), as there was no line. The second time we came there was a wait of about 10 people in front of us!! I'm told that's pretty normal for this shop. While waiting in line the sweet owner handed out samples of the strawberry blueberry smoothie--also amazing and a combination I probably wouldn't have ordered on my own. The strawberry guava and strawberry banana smoothies are also as you might guess SO good. 10/10 I will be coming back with my reusable jar soon!!

Menu selection is packed w/ all kine! You can even build your own. $7 for 24oz $10 for 32oz (refillable for $7) Parking is slightly tight and entrance is on S. Beretania right after the shop so drive slow to see it. Reverse parking recommended to make easy exit. Shop owner is a sweet lady! It's just her so be patient and kind. The wait is not long. They use real fruit for their smoothies, non of that fake syrup stuff, you can taste the difference. No sit down area, it's an order to go kinda spot. My faves so far: Freeze dried fruit packet $15, dragonfruit & strawberry smoothie $7. Definitely returning!

We decided to try this place out from seeing posts about them…read more I ordered the sweet sour spareribs, hubby got the roast pork with gravy and got my MIL a Special Bento all for $32.

Miss cause some pieces were dry and tough. MIL was happy with her bento. We opt to dine in and could tell lots of customers are regulars there. Staff was friendly.

Sipping hooray…read more.. Not sure if it's a tea or snack shop as I didn't even expect to see the second half of the shop as I browsed while I wait for my drink to be made lol! Located in City Square Shopping Center which has lots of free parking as it's home to many other tenants as well make it an easy stop to pick up a sip which is what I was craving after a long day of errands. Walking in as many of their other locations to see snacks galore is fun and tempting to pair with your tea I just focused on their menu and decided on a Black Lemon Tea plain lightly sweeten is just my refreshing vibe, and the staff was nice and got it started so I decided to browse around and noticed the other section of the shop and was so shocked to see the selection they have though thankfully my tea was ready and I just head out while I can lol! Lovely shop though no place to sit and enjoy and just took it and got on my way. Thank you!

Smoothies in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I was going to get lunch from Lunch Box next door and parked in front of Da Fresh French Coffee & Island Style Smoothie. I thought - since I'm here, I may as well... Especially since my friend, Donna O., wrote a review... Must be good, right? This shop on Sand Island Access Road took the place of Thang's which has other locations at City Square and Maunakea Marketplace. Donna said that there's a new owner with the same recipes! I just appreciated the free parking along this strip of small businesses in an industrial area. I decided on the Dragon Fruit Smoothie - the red one instead of the white one... For more nutrients, hopefully! Boba was included - it was soft and chewy! The smoothie was great - not too sweet and very refreshing! This is a takeout place only, so, stop by for a quick pick-me-up! There are coffee drinks here, too!

They are in a medical building - Kaheka Professional Center - their entrance is on Kaheka Street. Smoothies are competitively priced, most are $11 for 20 oz. The menu choice is extensive. Besides smoothies they offer juices, coffee beverages, acai bowls, and sandwiches, what one woud expect from a health cafe. I got their Detoxinator this Saturday afternoon as I've been fighting the 48 hour intestinal flu. I am hoping this doesn't pass thru my system...ahem. It was a standard detox smoothie. Blue Magic Smoothie was very good. Cocounut water, blue spirulina, various fruits, and agave.

Parking is super easy with the complimentary structure, and the café is located on the bottom floor alongside other vendors. One thing I immediately appreciated was how well air-conditioned the entire market is--it's nice and cool, which makes sitting and eating there really comfortable. The cashier recommended the turkey pesto croissant, but suggested swapping it onto ciabatta since it's one of her favorites--and I'm so glad I trusted her. It was phenomenal. The flavors were balanced, the bread held everything together perfectly, and it felt like a step above your typical sandwich. I also had what looked like a simple salad, but the vinaigrette and candied pistachios really elevated it and made it feel more thoughtful than expected. The staff across the board were friendly and welcoming, and there's plenty of seating--whether inside the café or out in the open market area. Honestly, the value surprised me the most. I paid under $13 for everything, which is hard to beat for the quality. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

Decent food but poor service…read more Nalu Health Bar & cafe is located in the south shore market at Ward on the ground floor. Seating is limited so it may be difficult to find seating especially during high traffic meal times. May have better luck finding seating outside. I've been here multiple times for lunch and had multiple different items. The acai bowl are good. I like getting the Nalu salad which is always a decent serving and tastes fresh. The sandwiches are also pretty tasty. My main issue is the service. I'm not sure if part of their training is to ignore the customer as much as possible because that has been my experience on multiple occasions. The most recent visit, I had ordered online and was going to pick up m food for takeout. There were three workers at the front just talking. I walked to the counter and was ignored. I could see where the orders are placed and didn't see anything there so figured my order wasn't ready yet. I stood on the side for at least 5 minutes without any greeting or acknowledgement. Not a single person made eye contact with me. When I saw an order placed on the back counter one of them grabbed it and placed it on the takeout counter without calling out the name and went back to chatting. I had to actively try to get their attention at which point I was looked at like I was bothering them. Asked if my order was ready and was handed it without any further interaction. I don't expect happy go lucky people and conversation but at least basic customer service.
