    Surfer Bowl
    Megan K.

    Really good açaí bowls in north shore. Honestly some of the best peanut butter as well I got the surfers bowl with bee pollen because they were out of the coconut superfood topper. It was filling and I liked the amount of toppings but wish there was more açaí base for the price. Service was quick and plenty of picnic tables or you can just walk around and enjoy it!

    Located right in the middle of Haleiwa town right next to Hurley and across from Kokua general store. There is parking right in front. You know you're in the right place when you see the purple stand with yellow writing. Right next to it are a lot of tables with surrounding other truck food What I like about the Açaí is the base is just açaí, water and a little fruit. Basically you're getting straight up açaí that they blend made to order. Other places use sorbet, soft serve or blend a bunch of frozen strawberries in the acai. Mostly just açaí gives its deep purple colorIt comes with bananas that is always fresh and granola that is crunchy and compliments the bowl. You can add other items - I like to add honey and my hubby likes adding blueberries, strawberries and peanut butter. They have so many add ons to choose from condensed milk, gogi berries, coconut, chia seeds and more. Crispy grinds offers bowls that offer different toppings like the Hawaiian that includes macadamia and pineapples. Honestly, I can't help myself I have to stop and get an açaí bowl here when I'm in Haleiwa.

    Açaí with honey and peanut butter

    This is the tastiest açaí bowl I've ever had! I added honey and peanut butter to mine and oh my goodness, so delicious Paired well with a beautiful & sunny day in Hawaii The texture was that of a regular açaí bowl however the taste wasn't as "earthy" as some that I have had other places. The sweetness coming through from the honey and peanut butter was perfect. Even my fiancé who isn't a big fan of these liked this bowl too Service was quick too but I saw multiple groups frequent the truck so I had to give it a go

    Acai bowl was wonderful! Kind, friendly service. The Coxihna (I spelt this wrong idk) were fried chicken balls (but with a soft texture) of yumminess!

    This is my favorite açaí bowl place on the north shore I will always recommend this place to whoever goes down that side for açaí bowl. They always have great customer service and the place is always so welcoming. I always stop by when I'm down that side of the island.

    After a long day on the North Shore we were looking for something delicious. We were all satisfied with this food truck. I got an açai bowl. It was fresh and tasty. Outside of the base, each extra fruit or topping costs extra so my small bowl quickly became the highest priced item on the ticket. Companions ordered coxincha and said it was delicious. Those are Brazilian street food fried shredded chicken. They also got the Brazilian soda. It is a guarana dink so be prepared to be energized if you buy it:).

    Perfect portions. Food wasn't too small or too big but enough to get by. Service was great. Young lady was very sweet. Food truck was located in the middle of Haleiwa town. Support local business.

    Food truck
    Deborah P.

    This food truck is open at the fisherman's wharf parking lot. Their 1st truck is located at sunset beach elementary school. They were on the TV channel 2 morning show letting everybody know if you stop by the food truck and mentioned channel 2 we saw them they offer 10% off. We had their spinach and feta pastel and the ground beef and the palm of hearts pastel. It's a crispy light wrap with the filling inside whether you like sweet or savory. It's was very good hot and crispy. They also have acai bowls too. The owner is husband and wife team. Husband takes the money and wife frys the food. Will be back to try the acai bowls and the sweet pastels. THIS YELP IS THE ADDRESS FOR THE HALIEWA LOCATION.

    Really small booth right off the road, but you can't miss it!

    A friend of a friend had recommended the açaí bowls at Crispy Grindz to us, and while we were walking around doing some shopping in Haleiwa we figured we'd stop by to try it out! We absolutely loved the açaí bowls here - the texture of their açaí is not too icey but not too watery, almost like a froyo which is how I like it. The flavor was refreshing and full of color, and the granola and fruits were super fresh as well! There is a lot of picnic table seating outside the booth, and they make your bowls pretty quickly! I'd definitely come back here for another açaí bowl during my next trip to O'ahu.

    Patel
    Yvonne S.

    My family and I love this little place. Their Patels are super delicious, although don't expect the pizza to be a traditional "pizza" filling. It is cheese with tomato and oregano it was still delicious, but disappointing to my kids who were expecting marinara sauce and cheese. The chicken and cheese and ham and cheese it really good! I had their banana and cinnamon which reminds me of banana lumpia. The wait times for the Patels can take a while because they fry it fresh for you but they are definitely worth the wait! The açaí bowl is not as sweet as other açaí places. I've been told it's because it's not as processed and the closest to actual açaí. The girls are super nice and the location is right on the main road of Haleiwa. Parking is limited and getting in and out of there can be a hassle.

    Great tasting treats served in a friendly manner in fantastic soundings. The price is higher than I would like but relatively not too high.

    The açaí is good, but they add waaaay too much granola. On top and bottom of the bowl. It almost feels like it's 1/2 granola and 1/2 açaí.

The servers came around several times with all kinds of meat, the sausage and lamb were my favorites. There was about 8 different meats to choose from, so lots of variety. We were there on a Thursday evening it was crowded so recommend a reservation.

When we arrived to speak to the hostess about our reservation for 6 at 7:45pm she was scrolling through personal photos on her phone in very clear view. After being seated our waitress greeted us she was kind and did the best she could to help satiate us by continuously asking if we wanted more sides, but like most people that come to these, we wanted meat - that wasn't necessarily in her control. A man came by with a free drink for my brother because he had made an extra by accident, and the waitress came by asking to remove it from the table or we would pay for it? Which was just a really strange and confusing interaction. At some point a man came around who I can only assume was the manager? He told us that we should take our time and that we'd surely be filled before leaving. We got served maybe 6 total times, the flavor was alright, the meat was tough, but honestly I'm not picky just hungry, but it was just the fact that the frequency for what we were paying for made no sense, almost 80$ a person (tip/tax included) and we got next to no meat and a salad bar that was at best wilted, the best thing we had was bananas. At some point our waitress did ask if we wanted any more meat, and we did, she went to the back to talk to the servers and they returned with 2 sausages for a table of 6. I have no idea if this was some kind of joke but writing it down now I have to laugh honestly, what a wild thing to do. I just hope that this review makes it to people before they eat here, you should go anywhere else if you're looking to get quality food and fill up -- I highly, highly recommend Shabuya for that! It's hot pot, located in the same mall and you get plenty of food! The last thing I'll say about this place before I offer suggestions since it's asking what could be improved, when the manager came around I let him know about how little we were given all he could say was he was sorry and it was too late for him to do anything, he was hoping we would leave saying "wow". We did not, no where close. Horrible experience dining here, please save your money and go anywhere else. For improvements, I think really it was the frequency the servers or gaucho need to come around more often, if 7:45pm is too close to closing time which is 9pm there should be some type of disclaimer when making a reservation warning guests that they will be served a much more limited menu, perhaps adjusting prices for that? There are lots of improvements to be made here, but I think that's bare minimum. When the manager said he wished we left thinking wow, I just wish we left feeling full. Don't waste your money on this place. I know I won't be again.

This place is great because there are some different options that you can't get anywhere else, like condensed milk and Brazilian milk powder (leite ninho) which supposedly makes it creamier. We weren't adventurous enough to try those though and just stuck with the basics, but maybe we'll try those next time. We ordered the sunset blend with goji berries and two build your own bowls. My daughter loved her bowl of just the açaí base and strawberries and peanut butter, hold the granola. She said it was one of the best she's had! My husband loved his as well with almond butter, honey and strawberries. He said this was one of his favorites along the north shore. My sunset bowl was very good as well. My favorite bowls have the tangier fruits like passion fruit, but for a basic bowl this really hit the spot. It's a cute little place with a good vibe next to Foodland in the strip mall. It looks like it has great food options as well that we'll have to come back and try some other time. But if you're wanting a great açaí bowl, this is your place!
