Too delicious almost to describe! Best açaí bowl in Kona, so fresh and put together perfectly. I could eat one after another if my belly could fit it all in read more

Açaí bowl was pretty standard, nothing amazing about it. Fruit was fresh. Base not too sweet. There are definitely better bowls out there, but again, nothing wrong w this one! Seems like a spot for tourists to just hit up in town side, ya know. Cold brew hit the spot. Workers weren't the most engaging, but I don't blame em. Just some keiki's working to make some $! I'd go back. read more

The good: Acia bowl was delicious! We sat up top and watched the ocean. Relaxing atmosphere with nice music. The line moved quick and we got our food quick too!! The eh: overpriced but given the location I guess that makes sense? Service was not particularly friendly. There's only 4 seats to see the view of the ocean and it's PACKED so people were right on top of us the whole time. You have to pay for parking and they ticket in this lot :/ read more

I've had better but this was just ok. Wanted to have it more Hawai'i flavors - maybe Lilikoi and pineapple options? Also, too much granola. Would prefer more fruit but still was very good. Service was quick and the location is nice with water views. read more

Definitely tree house vibes over looking the ocean. Staff was really nice, answered all my questions, the ingredients are organic, some like the papaya is locally grown. The honey on top of the granola was my favorite part! Only notes is that for the large islander $18, putting a layer of almond butter between açaí and granola layers would take it next level. read more

Basik Acai - Açaí large size ISLANDER - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Acai was okay, staff were not very hospitable. The price for a 32oz Acai was incredible so if you're looking for some mid Acai, at a good price. This is a good spot. There was only seating in the birds nest for 6. The lower section had seating for about 12+ read more

Good, but I was slightly underwhelmed by this spot after seeing all the great review about it. Being in Hawaii I assumed that we would find some of the best acai, but it didn't really even come close to the best I've had. This spot is located up the stairs of a building and the seating up top is limited but there are more tables below. A small is $14 and a large (double the size) is $18, so I would highly recommend splitting a large with someone if you can. The price for a small just doesn't really seem worth it. We got the puna bowl which had the classic acai base with strawberries, blueberries, banana, and hemp seeds. The acai base itself wasn't really flavorful - I needed to have it with the banana to make it better. I did really like their granola though, and they were super generous with the portion size of it too. Fine spot to satisfy the acai craving, but don't expect anything too special. read more

First, let's start with the free parking validation--that was amazing. We ordered a small Islander and small Puna. The service was fast and friendly. The bowls were absolute perfection heaping with beautifully ripe fruit. Bonus points for the birds and random geckos hanging out. read more

We had the Drifter with peanut butter mixed in that was very good three days in a row for breakfast. The service was very quick. We would barely get seated and they were done with our order. And, the location was awesome with the second floor view of the ocean across the street. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious and fresh and close to Ali'I drive. It was a 3 min walk from our room! There is lots of seating upstairs and downstairs with a beautiful ocean view! The chick working was super helpful and sweet and made a great recommendations! I heavily suggest the Puna Acai bowl! read more

I've never had an Acai bowl. It was delicious. But I felt like some sort of teen wanna be annoying influencer poser. Why? Because omg literally everyone there was an annoying influencer wanna be. Acai bowls are the new avocado toast. Both delicious, but I'm too old for that crap. read more

Basik Acai - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Hands down still the best acai I have had since the first time I had it here back in 2018. The taste, the texture, the delicious crunchy granola, and the fresh fruits along with toppings. The have two sizes, the 16oz or the 32oz. Yes, 32oz may seem intimidating but if you love acai and you can tolerate cold food, 32oz is very manageable. If not, get one and share. Service is pretty fast even when there's a line. So don't be turned away by the line going down the stairs. Simple setting with some bar height stools upstairs, and if you prefer, they have some regular tables and chairs at ground level with some umbrella shades. Or you can just take it to go anywhere. read more

Atmosphere: 5 It was a little hard to find at first because it was above a rental business. So look for a two-floor shack-like building in the middle of the parking lot. Basik is on the 2nd floor. There isn't a lot of seating but if you can get seats upstairs, there's a beautiful view of the ocean! Ordering is easy and the menu is super easy to understand. Portion: 5 For one person, the small is enough. If you have more than 1 person choosing the same flavor, definitely get the large. It's basically the same amount of food for not-double the price. Flavors: 5 This is the best acai bowl I've ever had! It's so good that I came 3 times. I had the Kilauea and it had the best combination of toppings. The bee pollen adds a really nice crunch. I love that the granola is a bit grounded up (not too much!) so it's not in big chunks. For added crunch, add cacao nibs! Overall, this is the best açaí bowl I've ever had! So much so that I've been there 3 times in my 5 day stay! Highly recommend! read more

Yum. Great fresh bowl of fruit and açaí. Great place to grab a bowl of goodness! Add the chia sauce and extra granola. Delish.

This is the same place as Acai Bowls. Not the one at the north end of Ali'i. It's confusing but it's where you want to get your bowls! In the same parking lot as Huggo's above Snorkle Bobs! read more

Came up here for some healthy Acai bowls. Menu is short and simple. Several delish options. We got the Mauka and Berry bowls. Portions are generous and seemed appropriate for the price paid. Enough for a meal we thought (breakfast or light lunch) Parking is a bit of a bear here. Service friendly and quick. A couple of small tables. Only complaint, is the use of plastic containers. I know this is a dilemma for a wet product like this, so I cant take off a star. But I always despise single use plastic adding to the garbage pile here on hawaii. read more

You must try a Acai bowl while you are on the Island, abudance of tropical fruits and nuts home grown. Basik cafe is in the center of Kailua Kona city, and typically offers Acai bowls and smoothies. However when I visited they did not have smoothies. I got the cacao Acai bowl small size, and it was very refreshing, topped with lot of granola, cacao nibs and fresh fruit. The prices seemed a little higher, but I finished the bowl happily without any complaints. read more

Basil Cafe is the perfect place to go to for breakfast or a quick snack before strolling along Alli Drive. The workers were very helpful and the food came out super quickly. The large is large so would definitely recommend sharing with others! There are 6 different types of bowls with different toppings that you can get. We loved both that we got! It is at the top of a snorkel gear rental place so you'll need to climb up a few flights of stairs to order. There are also parking spots available for customers! Minimal seating upstairs and a few tables at the bottom. read more

Went here for breakfast and to introduce family to Acai Bowls for the first time.... Everyone agreed they were delicious and would definitely order again. We went with the large size bowls and it was plenty for each couple to share. Fruit was fresh and the flavor blends were great. Only downside were the ants on the picnic tables outside. Would be nice if the owners would address the issue, as they seemed to be living in the wood of the tables... read more

Really solid acai bowl! Staff is friendly, menu is easy to pick from. Has a nice view while you wait for your bowl.

This place is a bit hard to find because it's tiny and on the 2nd floor, but it was worth the search. The view is very cool. The bee pollen was fresh and tasty along with the açaí. Overall it was good but the strawberries were very tart. Also the service was bland with no recommendations. I wouldn't say it was poor but needed more to get an excellent rating. Still worth the visit for sure. Ciao! read more

The place is located on 2nd floor of Snorkel Bob shop. It's very small, big enough to get your order in and wait for it. They do have seating on the edges but feels a bit cramped. I ordered the Kilauea açaí bowl for $18. The small was $14 so it made more sense to order the large. Ordering was easy and the food came out fairly quick. The açaí bowl was good and it's a great option for fast healthy breakfast. read more

Located adjacent to the Royal Kona Resort, on the second floor of the scuba shop. Be warned that if the gate is closed and they appear to be closed, you may want to try the gate before standing in line lol. This happened to us! There was a line because the gate was shut despite it saying they opened at 9am. It was about 9:07am before the person in the front of the line tried the gate and we all laughed that we didn't try earlier. This little place seems to be very popular and I know why! The bowls are fabulous and fruit is fresh. Granola used is gluten free also. Seating available upstairs for a wonderful view while dining or grab your perfect picture of your bowl with the ocean in the background! Be warned that the sizes are huge! Staff is super friendly and can make adjustments to the bowls if needed. Recommend trying!! read more

Good açaí bowl. A little on the pricier side, but to be fair everything is a little pricier in Hawaii. Ingredients tasted fresh and it was still yummy. Parking is free for customers up to 2-3 hrs but you need to talk to the cashier and let them know because otherwise you might get a ticket or have to pay around $8/hr read more

Needed something refreshing after my run and this was perfect. I ordered a small Banya bowl which had the right amount of toppings and açaí. I waited about 5 mins for my bowl, super quick! They only have a few bowls to choose from but do offer coffee as well. There's seating downstairs and upstairs has a couple but it can get a little cramped. read more

I shared a small Islander ($11) with my friend since we were still full from breakfast. This place is super cute, we had our açai bowl upstairs overlooking the beautiful beach. There was a line of about five groups ahead of us at 11 AM. The açai bowl was pretty yummy! I wish they had more flavor options though. Price was a bit steep. read more

Basik Acai - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

First a PSA-- At the time of writing, there was a sign posted stating their hours are  Mon-Sat 9AM-3PM. They have not updated their website, Yelp or Google. I came around here one morning at 8AM hoping it would be open and it was not. Just want to make this known since I know people have plans. The acai bowls here are good and are reasonably priced. They get quite filling with the granola. It can get a little cramped upstairs but they're willing to bring the bowls down to you if you're waiting downstairs. There are only two seats upstairs. They also offer lids if you want it to go. You are able to substitute fruit. If you take a look at the menu, all of the bowls seem like they're the same. For the most part they are, just with different fruit. I ordered the Islander multiple times and it did not disappoint. read more

Bad service and overpriced ($18) base. Wouldn't give us peanut butter on top without charging extra. Grumpy staff

Quick, fast Acai bowl! The acai is more on the icy than smooth side. Not many seats up top. A bit expensive but that's Hawaii. Better acai bowl than another place I went to in Kailua Kona. My star rating: 5 - must go!!! 4 - liked it, give it a try! 3 - it was alright 2 - I probably won't go back 1 - turnaround and run read more

Super excited to get acai during our stay in Hawaii, and this place seemed like a solid hole in the wall. Unfortunately, it really didn't live up to expectations, at least compared to what I've had in SF. The acai base is quite flavorless, and also really icy, to the point where when you first dig in, it's completely solid. I feel like they watered down their base quite a bit. The toppings are also quite sparse; by the end, it was just eating plain acai base. I felt this particularly with the large size. In the middle, they added a thin layer of just granola, whereas other places will normally do a layer of all toppings. There's some seating at the bottom which is convenient, but I would personally recommend trying one of the other acai places in the area! read more

Delicious açaí bowl. I loved the high granola to açaí ratio, with multiple layers of the granola in the large size. Granola is a little weird, but I'm finding that all of the granola on the Big Island is the same -- there's a lot of this fried (?) rice krispy-ish stuff that's chewy and very sweet. Fruit was fresh, and the açaí was soft and scoopable but not melted. Great view if you can snag seats. Girls working there were extremely nice. More expensive than other nearby locations. read more

Came to Basik for my first açaí bowl in Kona and the reviews did not disappoint! Ordered the Forager and loved the combination of granola, fresh fruit, cacao nibs, crushed almonds, and honey. However, there isn't a significant difference between the various açaí bowl options (aside from 1 or 2 ingredients) which is the main reason for 4 stars. At $14 for a small bowl, Basik is also on the pricier end. There's limited deck seating available upstairs with a gorgeous view of the ocean, as well as some patio seating downstairs. Service was unbelievably quick; we got our order literally within minutes! read more

Best on the island. The fruit and Acai is juicy and top quality ingredients. They have a nice sitting area to enjoy your order. In the shade.

Have a fantastic day and aloha. read more

I ordered the ISLANDER ACAI BOWL. I really like it since it wasn't too sweet. They added a lot of granola which made it much tastier. I ordered large and the portion is good for 2 people. Great oceanfront view. Plenty of parking. Quick service and employees were nice. I'll definitely come back again! read more

Basik Acai - Islander Acai Bowl - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

Great acai bowls here. It is pricey so might as well just get the large which I think is so much more worth it than the small. Double the amount for only $4 more! We got the Puna bowl which was solid. What makes it extra good here and therefore deserving of the 5 stars, is their fantastic granola which they mix in throughout the entire container, not just at the top. Every bite you get granola which is my favorite! Not a lot of acai places are so generous with the granola so if you like granola, this is the place for you. read more

Best Acai bowl I've had so far. The fruit is so fresh and delicious. I got mine with added peanut butter which made it even better. My friends and I agreed that it's much better than what we can find in our hometowns (Reno, NV and Santa Clarita, CA). It's a little pricey, but what isn't in Hawaii? read more
