All the other menu items "looked" good and I ordered a coconut fruit water thinking it would be absolutely loaded with fruits but....it was extremely underwhelming. I think if you're gonna use AI generated photos you should at least make the actual product you hand paying customers, look like the photo. I got a huge cup of coconut water with 3 slices of kiwi, some blueberries and a couple slices of strawberry(she told me it would have pineapple but it didn't which was ironic because right across the malasada truck there's always the people selling fresh pineapple). The Dubai chocolate strawberry cup I tried on a different occasion was delicious but honestly that's an item that isn't complicated to make so I wasn't surprised. I also wanted an Açaí bowl but sadly they didn't have that available so I can't say much. Y'all should ditch the fancy drinks. Just sell water and canned juice along side with the real money makers, the MALASADAS. Also ditch the AI menu because at this point it's just false advertising for the photos to look so perfect and the product so underwhelming.

Hannah has this spot rocking and it's not just because of the traffic flying by that shakes the cart. She's patient, funny, and LOVES this work. The staff in there are working with a fryer, and it's hot. I could see sweat on Hannah's face. She still had a smile and was willing to chat. Great service all around! The new item is Dubai chocolate malasada! It's an added $7 more for this trendy treat. Hannah showed me the pistachio cream filling used and the type of chocolate bar with a thick layer of crispy bits, it's all imported. This is the legit stuff. Minimum Malasada purchase is three and you won't be disappointed if you have to eat more than planned. Hannah made sure I got napkins because she knew what was about to go down. I definitely got the holy trinity if haupia, guava, and lilikoi. It's a must! I tried it without a sugar dusting and I think I'll go back to the sugar, why not.

The order came out fairly quickly and as you can see from the pic, its a large portion - I couldnt finish it in two sittings. The chicken was not as crunchy as I would have liked, but it tasted great and was moist and tender inside. The lack of crunchiness may have been my fault since I added a little extra Sriracha on top of everything. I recommend Da Braddahz Grinds and will be back!

On the day of, they were warriors championing through the Hilo rain (surprise, surprise it rained in a hilo wedding), cooking, moving things around, and presenting everything to perfection. Before we could even thank them for their service, they had already left, ensuring the attention stayed on us on our wedding day.

It's that good. This little coffee shop does a lot of business. The line wasn't long though and they work quickly preparing the food with love and attention to detail. You can eat inside or out with lots of tables to choose from. The açaí itself was a bit soft, but I liked that it wasn't hard as a rock. The granola was great. The berries and banana were plentiful. The big scoop of coconut peanut butter was fabulous and the honey and chocolate on top were the crowning achievement. It was an A+ in my book, and that is saying a lot.

The açaí bowl was tasty, the original one, but again, pricey for the portion. The lilikoi açaí bowl was too sweet but had a little bit more in portion compared to the original bowl that looked half filled. They don't put a lot of fruit, unfortunately. Their chicken pesto panini was delicious and a great portion. I ate half for breakfast and saved the other half for the plane ride home. It's alright inside. I bought their granola and salted caramel sauce to take home.
