Like I mentioned in the caption, I'm not exaggerating when I say the açaí bowls at Aloha Aina are…read morethe best I've ever had. That's a huge claim, but nothing else has come close for me. The flavors, the texture, the freshness, everything is just spot on every single time. And honestly, it's not just the açaí bowls. Pretty much everything on the menu stands out. The smoothies are incredible, the ingredients always taste fresh, and somehow everything feels healthy while still tasting great. One of my favorite spots to grab something quick that actually tastes amazing. The staff and management are awesome too, and the whole place just has a really good vibe. You can genuinely feel the Aloha in everything they do. God, I love this place. Here's a tip: order online from their website and skip the line. There is always a line and it's so much faster to just walk in and have your item already waiting for you. You just go straight to the counter for pick up and bingo bango.

Immediately entering the store we were greeted by the cashier (which I'm presuming is the owner) welcoming us in. The overall feel and vibe of the shop was clean and accommodating for people to sit and relax. I ordered the caramel haze with oat milk which totalled around $9. The tasted really sweet and the texture was perfect. Generally with oat milk drinks it can be sometimes powdery but I believe the ice cream helped make drink overall creamy. If you're visiting Kauai and have a few minutes for some coffee after arriving, this is a perfect first coffee place to check out!

We came here in September and everything was amazing!! So good. We came back recently because we…read morereally enjoyed it the first time, but this visit was just okay. The staff is still incredibly kind and friendly. They were just as welcoming as we remembered, and that alone makes me want to support this place. This time, though, the açaí bowl wasn't quite the same. The base tasted much more like banana than açaí, and there wasn't as much fruit as our first visit. It just didn't feel as balanced or as fresh as the bowl we had before. I still think it's worth checking out because the people working here are genuinely wonderful. I'm hoping this was just an off day since our first experience was so much better!

Stopped by Wailua Shave Ice on a hot summer day, looking for a way to beat the heat…read more When we arrived there was a small line but it was clear the staff was hard at work. After placing our order, the order came out pretty quickly considering the place was packed. I got the Lava Flow (pineapple juice, coconut milk, haupia foam, strawberry puree) - also added li hing mui powder IYKYK. The flavor was light, fresh & not overly sweet. The texture of the shave ice wasn't the softest shave ice I've ever had but not a big deal. It was still the best thing for such a hot day in Kauai & hit the spot! They also have cute merchandise available & even an OG classic shave ice maker on display. I will say this is my first time coming to a shave ice place & not being able to customize my order & choose specific flavors, but I guess that helps ensure the combinations they do offer on their unique menu are optimal. Overall, I will definitely be back especially since the staff was so friendly!

We ordered the Ube and regretted not getting it with ice cream or "snow capped." But the flavor was still good! With that being said, the operations hit a few snags. The staff is really young and not super efficient. They were chatting quite a bit and I could tell it was slowing the process down. Seating is also limited during peak hours, so prepare to take it outside if necessary. For the experience, it's worth it. For the price and the wait? I'd probably skip next time.
