The acai bowls and overall experience were pretty good, but in my opinion there are still better…read moreplaces down the road to get acai. The acai was not as sweet as I'm used to, which is a personal preference. The acai was a bit watery though so it was a bit hard to eat. However, the amount of toppings was very generous and the fruits were good. The portion didn't really seem worth it for the price though. The vibes were overall good here though, the truck is kinda like a surf truck. Like how they feature local surf news and riders. The service was also good as well, workers were very nice and we didn't have to wait too long for our acai. Not bad at all, but not the best acai in Haleiwa or on island.

Crispy Grindz in Haleʻiwa has quickly become a spot I recommend, mainly because of their pao de…read morequeijo. They make them in a unique way, pressing the dough on a waffle iron so the outside comes out crispy and crunchy while the inside stays chewy. The four-pack is the way to go--plenty for one person and shareable for two, but I wouldn't try splitting it beyond that because you'll definitely want more than one for yourself. I've also tried the coxinha and the ham and cheese pastel, which were good, though not as much of a standout as the pao de queijo. Everything is served very fresh, so fresh in fact that I burned my mouth on the pastel because of the steam pocket inside, so it's worth letting things cool a little before biting in. Seating is all outdoors at picnic tables with umbrellas, and while there's usually space available, you might need to share a table if it's busy. There's no cooling, so it can get hot during the day even with the shade. Parking is on the street out front. I've never had trouble finding a spot, but pulling in and out can be tricky if there's traffic going by. Overall I'd give Crispy Grindz 4 stars. The pao de queijo alone makes it worth stopping for, while the other items I tried were good but not the best I've had. I haven't tried the bowls or other menu items, so I can't comment on those, but if you're in the area the pao de queijo is something I definitely recommend.

Went for my brother's birthday last week. This was an interesting buffet style experience. The vegi…read moreoption was great but the main stars are the meat. I love their picanha style and the filet mignon. The lamb leg is a little rough and gamy to my taste. Server do check on you often and ask for your need, but the request does not always come through. We ask for ribs but never got them. Which bring to why only 4 stars, the meat does not come consistently, we basically took a bite of whatever was on the plate, then sit and waited 5-10 minutes before another meat type will come, but that might not be something you wanted so you will be waiting longer. The chessecake dessert at the end was good, so we will probably give the place another try.

The white sand is actually tiny pebbles, which kinda feel like they give your feet a shiatsu massage. We did also walk up the road past the Foodland to the "food truck city" where we had some good tacos from North Shore Taco truck. Hubby also got a shave ice. Prices weren't cheap but competitive for the region. The parking can be scarce and you may have to hang out in your car lying in wait for someone to leave. And people who come to the car are usually NOT in a rush to leave the spaces. The bathrooms were aight for being a beach bathroom. Not great but it will do.

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!

Decided to try the blue majik bowl as it's so pretty and different than your standard açaí bowl. Even the small size ($14) was plenty! The base is made of pineapple, banana, and spirulina (giving it its pretty blue hue)... but it mostly tasted like a banana puree so make sure you are good with a strong banana flavor. It tends to overpower everything! The fruits and toppings were really fresh and they also use local raw honey. I should've asked for less honey because the combo of honey and banana made the bowl overwhelmingly sweet for my tastebuds. Still delicious though and next time I'll have to try one of their açaí bowls!
