    Got the smoothie and açaí. Both were pretty bland and the açaí was icy / gritty like it had frost bite. I've had way better quality at other places. I did like the honey and coconut dust topping.

    My dad ordered the Paradise Punch smoothie and I liked it so much that I had to buy my own! That drink has bee pollen in it which I've never seen. It has such a fresh and tropical flavor which I loved. There's limited indoor and outdoor seating but the vibe is very friendly.

    Way too much granola
    Grace A.

    The bowls are granola heavy, emphasis on HEAVY. Came here in a group and we ordered tropical bowls. Not extremely great because it was too much granola. Should have been balanced with more of the base and fruits. Not a fan and won't be back. When I let the ladies know that myself and my group found that it was loaded with too much granola, they didn't provide a resolution and that was disappointing but affirming to know that I won't return.

    This spot is a little pricey, but it's really cute and close to Waikiki. The smoothie bowls and smoothies are great and their coffees are kinda mid. The folks working there are really nice and the service was pretty fast! It can get busy since it's next to Leonards. Next time, I'd skip the coffee and stick with the smoothies and bowls :) everything is made fresh and tastes healthy. The place is also very instragramable and aesthetic if that matters to you.

    Service was quick, menu was easy to read, overall ease of getting there and getting out was good. Mostly street parking though. The ambience of the area was very surfers/California/tropical/happy. I am giving it three stars because the açaí bowl's actual flavor was lacking for me. Seems like the bowls are a big part of the menu, and they should just be a little bit more high-quality in my opinion. However, I would give their savory food a four star rating as the sandwiches were good. Smoothies also seemed to be quite good as well.

    Great acai bowls. In a nice small area. Their service is very friendly and the food is so fresh! Parking is tight so you may want to park at the shopping center/ grocery store area and walk to it. It's only a 2 minute walk.

    $14 for a small smoothie is crazy lol but it's a cute little place and perfect for an aesthetic

    Açaí bowls after hiking was a MUST for my friends and I. We tried Sunrise Shack -- per our friends and families recommendations. We ordered the Tropical Bowl and our friends ordered the Blue Dream Bowl. This was so refreshing and felt so healthy :-) Mahalo Sunrise Shack!

    The monkey bowl
    Jenny C.

    My fiancé and I made a quick stop after a dip in the ocean. We were greeted by a friendly staff. The vibe of the establishment just feels positive and welcoming We ordered the monkey bowl, berry toast, and iced cappuccino. It felt good to nourish our bodies with fresh whole foods. The blueberries on the berry toast were my favorite! They were big and the texture..it felt like biting into a grape. They also offer parking behind the back of the building, which is always nice. They are a little bit pricey. It's not a place I would visit on the daily, but definitely on days when I want to treat myself!

    Got an açaí bowl and Americano. The coffee wasn't that great to be honest and the açaí felt overpriced for what it was (20 dollars total) The wait was kind of long but since it's a pretty touristy destination it made sense. Indoor seating is limited but we went across the street to eat at the park. Inside was kind of warm and it was cramped while everyone was waiting for their food. The cashier was friendly though.

    Stopped by since friends were craving Leonards and I wanted something a little lighter. The staff + owner are super friendly here! I ordered the paradise punch, and added banana to be blended and they accommodated my request. They also offer samples. Such a beautiful smoothie! It is on the pricier side for what it is though.

    I absolutely loved this place. The staff was extremely nice, gave good recommendations and the service was fast. The place is a bright yellow you can not miss it. It definitely fits the Hawaii vibe. If your looking for a quick but filling breakfast this is the place to stop. The toast was amazing.

    Entrance

    Refreshments in Kapahulu, Honolulu, Hawaii... We saw this new location of The Sunrise Shack and decided to check it out! We have been to the Ala Moana Center's location in the Makai Food Court. I think I like that location better than this Kapahulu location because of the air-conditioning and easier parking. The Sunrise Shack on Kapahulu Avenue has a small parking lot along the sidewalk of Kaimuki Avenue. Look carefully for the designated signs, park, and walk around the corner to the entrance. It's the former location of Kono's. Inside, the cozy shop had a small, portable air conditioner. I couldn't feel any cool air, so I had to consume my bowl outside, along the sidewalk. We sat on chairs and watched the traffic go by. The exhaust fumes and dust were our ambiance. Service was friendly and efficient! The diligent cashier even went outside to sweep up leaves at the entrance. She's so good! I got the Tropical Bowl which had a mango and banana base. The toppings were little chunks of pineapple, coconut flakes, pitaya sauce, and crunchy granola. Yum! I'll go back to the Ala Moana Center location... even though Leonard's Malasadas is right next door... very tempting and convenient!

    Indeed it is a good day!

This might be one of the only places in Waikiki open at 4 AM which is perfect if you've just arrived the night before from the East Coast. The inside of the shop feels homey. They have a display case full of pastries along with additional baked goods set out nearby. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a coconut latte and then ordered a blueberry malasada while my father went with a custard-filled one. At Maleko, the malasadas are pre-made but not filled until you order which I think is a smart move. I first tried my blueberry malasada and thought it was good. The dough was light and fluffy and the filling had a great flavor. As for my coffee, I have to agree with other reviews that the syrup made it overly sweet. I still drank it, but I definitely would have preferred something less sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again for the malasadas. As for the coffee, I would probably pass unless you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side.

It was less than three dollars including tax, so definitely affordable. The guava filling was great, but the donut itself was kind of bland. If it weren't so cheap, I would have given it three stars. But it was a good deal and I might go back.

This is the only standing Kulu Kulu and I hope this place does not close, or if it does relocate, come closer to Central Oahu where the rent is cheaper, haha (hint). This location is on the outer edges of Waikiki on Hobron Lane in Eaton Square. I rarely venture to Waikiki, and if I do make the dreaded drive to "town", this place and Kan Sushi will be the only regular places where I will make my stop(s), because its so worth it. I've had a long-standing love-affair with Kulu Kulu from the Shirokiya Food Court location with it's waffle bears and Hello Kitty waffles, the takeout Nama Chocolate cups stocked at Mitsuwa Marketplace and now here, in town. The Ube Coconut Mousse $6.95 blew our minds, it was THE best tasting thing, ever. Both the ube and the coconut were not cloying, and as with all of their treats, not overly sweet either. That's why I love Japanese pastries, they get the sweetness just perfect and I have no idea how they mastermind that ratio! Strawberry Panna Cotta $5.95 was creamy, flavorful, delicious and surprisingly light and refreshing for such a creamy dessert. I normally don't get this kind of combination of flavors, and it tasted like something you'd get in a Michellin-rated establishment. Looking back at the photos, I see vanilla bean seeds in the panna cotta, so every loving detail and nuance shows through with each mouthful. Nama Chocolate $5.75 is my go-to chocolate LOVE. It's cut into cool creamy semi-sweet squares dusted with cocoa and it melts in your mouth! This is my favorite of all things that Kulu Kulu makes. I actually enjoy this better than the famous Royce Chocolates from Japan. We ordered another seasonal Strawberry dessert slice cake but it was eaten before I could review (and/or taste it); I've heard it was very very delicious. This place is so good that I plan to bring my friends who will be visiting from Virginia here to try their pastries. I also plan to support this business for as long as I can and make more frequent trips to town just to get these amazing desserts.
