    Kewalo Basin Harbor Corner... Not official but I must give it a name as it seems this is the somewhat permanent fixture of the outdoorsy vibe with famous Kaka'ako Farmers Market every Saturday and now is the home to many food trucks. Crispy Grindz is not a newbie but is to the area on this part of the island and gosh what a welcome new flavors it brings. All things from Brazil including the familiar Açaí bowl and cheese bread by Nosh and something new to me "Pastels" dough stuffed with either savory or sweet fillings then fried in peanut oil nice and crispy I got the chicken special and this yummy goodness is stuffed with shredded chicken, spinach, cheese, tomatoes which is wrapped and fried golden all made fresh and isn't as heavy as what I thought I'd be...flavorful and just a nice perfect size for a snack. The ladies there are a delight and know this will be another convenient place to grab an açaí bowl as well as it's still blazing hot here while you can enjoy the harbor view. Thank you!

    The bread is hot and fresh! It tastes like fried mochi, cheese balls. Service is not bad and prompt. It's a food truck in the kakaako farmers market. There's seating in the pier. It was so good, we went back for 5 more lol definitely recommend!

    Love the Brazilian type food and snacks, they are located with plenty sitting spaces available for customers

    All fresh and natural Açaí bowls... no added sugars. So delicious!! I added banana, strawberry, granola, and peanut butter. My daughter added blueberries, coconut, banana and peanut butter. They had so many choices of things to add. The açaí was made with açaí berries with a little fresh banana only. Best I've tasted!

    a bowl of fruit

    The best açaí you'll ever find. I learned about this place from my Brazilian friends. I figure if the Brazilians eat it, it must be legit. That's not the only thing that's good either, the coxinha is actionnnnn, too. I drive here from Kailua because I refuse to eat açaí bowls anywhere else already........tired of icy bowls that taste more like a smoothie. Besides all that, the owner is the nicest!!

    Service was great! Food came out fast and tasted fresh and amazing. Definitely coming back again. Praying blessings over this business!

We ordered Hawaiian (DELUXE + PAʻIʻAI) which included Granola, banana, strawberry, blueberry, beepollen, honey + Pa'i'ai (taro): absolutely amazing and refreshing after all day outside in sunny. Love how they include pa'i'ai in the bowl as it's very hearty. KŪLOLO (paʻiʻai, banana, coconut milk, agave): absolutely the smoothie for me and I love how they incorporated taro in the smoothie to make it thick and dense with nutrient rich fruits.

    Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 3/5 I ended up coming here 3 times during my trip to Hawaii, and it was consistently amazing each time. I tried several bowls including the Da Cove, Mana, Lava, Hapa, and Hawaiian. The fruit in every bowl tasted incredibly fresh and everything was really enjoyable. My fav was definitely the Hawaiian because it includes paʻiʻai, which I later learned is hand-pounded steamed taro. It had a slightly chewy, paste like texture that was really good and added something special to the bowl. I would easily recommend this spot to anyone visiting. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Hawaii. We didn't get a chance to try any of their other food or drinks though, so that's something I'd want to check out next time. There are quite a lot of seats inside, which makes it fairly easy to find a place to sit. They do have parking right in front of the shop, but the spaces are a little tight. The bathroom was a bit questionable though it was very dimly lit and seemed to double as a storage area.

    Nalu Health Bar & Café is such a solid spot, especially if you're looking for something fresh,…read morequick, and actually satisfying. 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.

    I'm usually not a fruit bowl person but the pink bowl here might've converted me permanently…read more Food: (5/5) Even though açaí and fruit bowls have been quite popular for some time now, I never had one that I loved until I had the pink bowl at Aloh. I always found them to be either too sour with unripe fruit, overly sweet due to the toppings, or just too much of the same thing. Since I was staying in the area, I thought it would be good to give them another try. I LOVE dragon fruit, so the pink bowl was an obvious choice. I got it with added chia seeds and no coconut flakes. Nothing in this bowl was sour, the honey and granola didn't make it overly sweet, and the pitaya base didn't feel icy at all. Everything about it was balanced and so refreshing. My partner got the Ala Moana bowl because of the papaya that caught his eye. Although I didn't particularly like it, my partner said it was one of his favorite eats of our trip. We'll be thinking about Aloh until we can go back! Service: (5/5) There's not much actual service since you order on a kiosk, but the team here are pretty quick with making orders which is always a plus.

    The juicing drinks are The real superstars. It seems busy with people lining up but don't let that…read morescare you away. Had the opportunity to try different juicing throughout the week there. Plenty of seating with tables. Nice and hidden away middle of busy street in Waikiki as it opens early and closes late. Blue Hawaii - seasonal drink special, filled with ginger and zest. I enjoyed this drink very much. ALOH signature - one of best green juices I've ever had! It was refreshing and healthy with multiple vegetables in as it doesn't taste awfully veggie like other juices you might had before. Likelike - wonderful beet juice. I'd say it's equally good like other juices on the menu. Can't go wrong when coming to beets!
