They are in a medical building - Kaheka Professional Center - their entrance is on Kaheka Street. Smoothies are competitively priced, most are $11 for 20 oz. The menu choice is extensive. Besides smoothies they offer juices, coffee beverages, acai bowls, and sandwiches, what one woud expect from a health cafe. I got their Detoxinator this Saturday afternoon as I've been fighting the 48 hour intestinal flu. I am hoping this doesn't pass thru my system...ahem. It was a standard detox smoothie. Blue Magic Smoothie was very good. Cocounut water, blue spirulina, various fruits, and agave.

EW. way too sweet. nothing more to be said but i suppose it gets the job done! i am a girls girl so two stars for the all female staff. wow! gender equality! they were all not that friendly but very locked in...probably in such an elite flow state that they couldn't focus on being chipper. as a barista i get that. also they were all very pretty :3

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.

(I used to frequent the Kahala location back before its Ku'ono Marketplace glow-up.) I'm usually an acai bowl loyalist at Lanikai Juice, so smoothie sampling was a first sip adventure. Location: Inside SALT at Our Kaka'ako, facing Ala Moana Blvd. Parking: Closest lot sits at the corner of Ala Moana Blvd and Coral St (entrance on Coral). You can also use the SALT lot on Keawe St, or play musical chairs with street parking. The Coral St lot is paid via QR code posted on signs - snap, register, and pay before you bounce. Atmosphere: Compact, but still has that classic Lanikai Juice feel. Seating is scarce, but we scored the seat jackpot with the window-facing bar (perfect for a trio). Drinks, snacks, and merch line the walls, while cup and bowl sizes are clearly displayed at the register - no guesswork needed. Drinks: I went with the Lanikai Splash, while my friend and her boyfriend ordered the... "I-don't-remember" smoothies. Mine hit the spot, and judging by their nods of approval, theirs did too. Service: Smooth, our drinks were blended and in hand within 5-10 minutes. Price: Roughly $30 total, generously covered by my friend's boyfriend. Would I return? Parched and passing by? Sure!

Inside, the space is clean, colorful, and nicely air-conditioned! The staff were a bit busy as each order is made freshly! I got a Super Green smoothie: apple juice, mint, spinach, Hawaiian spirulina, lemon juice, apple, and banana. It wasn't too sweet, but just right! I didn't feel guilty at all with this choice!

What I liked about the berry boost bowl is that goji berries brought a crunch and really made up for the granola that wasn't in there.

You can also play board games if you're hanging out. Love that they welcome that

Abundant variety available! Located in Ka Makana Ali'i on the Gen Korean / Papa John Pizza side…read more Small interior that has about four to five tables that can accommodate about four people each. No outdoor seating available. We went in knowing we wanted açaí bowls. They offer signature bowls for those who don't like having to decide on bases, toppings, drizzles, etc. Signature bowls come in two sizes: regular (16oz.) $13.99 and large (24 oz.) $15.99. Whatever bowls give you the freedom to decide on base - bonus base - fresh fruit - super foods - drizzle. These are priced the same but you decide what you do and do not want, which is nice. Mind you, they also offer: toasts, smoothies and drinks such as lemonade, iced blended coffee, matcha, and cold brews. Açaí bowl was a generous portion of base / bonus base / fruit. I appreciate how they chop their fruit into bite size pieces. Idk what it is but I like my fruit in my bowl to be bite size like small easy to eat and chew. Maybe it has to do with base/topping/fruit ratios!? Fruit was fresh too, which for this price point- I'd expect and they delivered. There are many options available which again, for this price point you'd expect, so it's nice to have. The only problem was they were out of Nutella. Like, why? My daughter went a week before writing this review and she said they were out of bananas. In my opinion, banana and Nutella are not items hard to keep in stock! We would visit again. Side note, Monday - Friday 6-7pm they offer $2 off signature bowls!

Bluetree has become one of my top coffee shops in town for checking all of these boxes! There's parking in their structure (scan QR code in the cafe to register your license plate #), plenty of seating inside (upstairs/downstairs), and WiFi if you plan on doing work. My go-to drink as of recently has been their Kulolo Crunch Latte. I also loved their Coconut Cloud Matcha -- they use Wai Koko coconut water! For the most part, people in the shop are doing work and being productive so it's not too overstimulating like many coffee shops I've been to. If you're looking for just a chill place to grab a coffee or matcha and lock in, I'd recommend checking out Bluetree in Kaka'ako!

So of course I got the "KULOLO CRUNCH LATTE" but sad to say ima have to give this a 4/10. It just tasted like a regular coffee with crunch. I really tried hard to get that taste of the kulolo but I didn't. I also let my mom & daughter try & they didn't taste any kulolo.

I ordered the Açaí Da Cove (Small) with granola, banana, strawberry, and honey. The fruit was fresh, the granola added a nice crunch, and the honey brought everything together perfectly. It was refreshing, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. We also tried the Strawberry Zowie smoothie and the Piña Colada smoothie. Both were delicious. The Strawberry Zowie was smooth and packed with fresh strawberry and banana flavor, while the Piña Colada was creamy, refreshing, and a great complement to the açaí bowl. Fresh ingredients, friendly service! Parking is tight but worth it.

I used to love coming here for the açaí bowls, but my most recent visit was incredibly…read moredisappointing. I'm honestly wondering what happened. Whatever is currently being served as "açaí" tastes nothing like açaí. Instead of the rich, dark berry flavor and texture I was expecting, it was a strange lavender-colored mixture that seemed heavily diluted and lacked the authentic taste of açaí altogether. I've been a customer for years, so this wasn't just a one-off first impression. The quality seems to have changed dramatically, and it's frustrating to pay premium prices for something that barely resembles an açaí bowl. I truly hope Da Cove revisits their recipe or ingredients because this used to be one of my favorite spots. Unfortunately, this experience left me disappointed and unlikely to return until the quality improves.
