    Iced coffees
    Gabriela Z.

    We got the honey & vanilla lattes. They were delicious. The honey needed some more flavor. But overall this place is good. Next to Leonard's to good to grab a donut + coffee.

    Food: Yummy and fresh. Good morning start for breakfast and a nice dip in the ocean right after. Service: It was ok, they were nice. Ambiance: Small and tight. Barely any seating. Better as a grab and go. Decent lines to order.

    Easy eats açaí bowls nearby several hotels. Went for a quick açaí bowl run before enjoying the rest of Waikiki beach. Not much of a line and everyone was friendly. Took a little bit for the açaí bowl to be made, but was pretty good once ready. Would come back.

    Acai bowl
    Monica Q.

    Went to the sunrise shack during vacation and fell in love instantly. All locations you stumble upon on the island are great. Acai bowls are a must try and the service will always help you figure out what to pick! I'd recommend finding a location close to the beach so you can sit on the sand and enjoy your acai bowl! Best snack. Best acai!!

    I lava you bowl
    Katie L.

    Got visibly sick after consuming the I lava bowl and the Mac nut bullet coffee. The strawberry smoothie bowl was not blended, so there were frozen chunks everywhere, and the Mac nut bullet coffee also had chunks of nuts throughout the drink. Wait time was quite long - I was the second order there and waited for about 15 minutes to get everything. I believe they were training new staff, so maybe this was a one-off, but this was disgusting. Recommend going down the street to island vintage.

    Tropical Smoothie
    Lauren D.

    This smoothie and a side bowl shop is very quaint and cute and locally owned. I ordered the tropical smoothie and it was very tasty and not too sweet. Prices are on the higher side, but you can tell it's quality ingredients and fruits. The young kids working they were all super friendly and made my smoothie pretty quickly. Ambience wise, I love how they made their interior so fun and aesthetic. It really fits the sunrise vibe. One downside to this location is that they have no indoor seating and only patio seating... and they have a sign about birds stealing food, so just something to keep in mind.

    One of my go-to coffee spots while I was in Waikiki. Located right off the main drag, this sort of hidden coffee counter has a great mix of breakfast foods like bagel sandos, avo toast, and pastries. Their coffee drinks are all of the classics, with me gravitating towards the iced americano, the both days I was here. A very smooth drink, that with one pump of sugar free vanilla syrup took the edge off the bitter finish of espresso. Each day I was here, the wait time was very short. Even when they were busy, the most I waited was two to three minutes. There's just small counter to sit at, but most people use it to wait for their food and/or coffee. Definitely not a place to sit and get some laptop work done. Also, why are you working? You're in f*cking Waikiki, go to the beach! Good coffee, no wait, it's a win win!

    Acai options!
    Crystal C.

    The vibes, the yummy smoothies, the ample seating out front on the strip of Waikiki beach, what's there not to love? I also love their stickers! Their smoothies and acai bowls are filling and though you might encounter a line, it goes pretty fast that it's well worth it. There isn't seating inside (just merch and where you order, along with drinks), but there's some seating outside AND the beach is right there too, so you shouldn't have any problems! If you want something refreshing, filling, and healthy, definitely stop on by and grab yourself a smoothie or an acai bowl. I had both on my visit EACH DAY!

    Place serving acai bowls with fresh fruits and smoothies. Small store with limited seatings inside and does get busy. I got the papaya bowl since I was just looking for something light and saw it was a local favorite. Came out with a hand size banana filled with fresh fruits, granola, peanut butter, and honey. Perfect all together. Loved the honey they use and papaya was sweet. Some blueberries were mushy tho. Would come back to try their acai bowls or smoothie next time.

    So close to my hotel a lovely walk over several mornings. Absolutely LOVED the monkey bread, they don't skimp on toppings. Peanut butter, banana, honey, cacao nibs... all on a well toasted sourdough. Very yummy and satisfying. However I did not like the monkey bowl or the monkey shake at all... (I'm pretty positive I'm the minority) but the base that was used seemed to be the same and I just simply didn't like it. They do have different flavors, but not worth it to me to waste money when I KNOW the monkey toast is fantastic so I'll stick with that whenever I get lucky enough to return.

    Carmel latte & açaí bowl
    Julianna H.

    Loved this place! My açaí bowl was so yummy, but it was the service and vibe that I felt was so genuinely sunny. I even got a shirt there because it was such a positive place.

    Great acai bowls, unique options and so many locations around the island! I love the sunrise shacks great vibes

    Ube bowl. Melted and missing toppings.
    Timothy T.

    Not sure what's going on with this place lately, but it's definitely gone downhill. I'm honestly surprised it's still so popular given all the recent negative reviews--unfortunately, I had a very similar experience. We placed an online order that was supposed to be ready in 20 minutes. I showed up 30 minutes later, only to end up waiting almost an hour because they couldn't find the order. At that point, I probably would've been better off just ordering in person. The staff seemed overwhelmed and poorly trained. When I asked about the status of my order, one of the workers said they'd check--then just disappeared and never came back with any update. Communication and customer service were basically nonexistent. When we finally got our bowls, they were overpriced, undersized, and underwhelming. The açaí was melted and had a weird texture--definitely not the smooth consistency you'd expect. On top of that, the bowls were missing toppings we paid for. Overall, this was a really disappointing experience. Poor service, long wait, and a product that didn't live up to the hype or the price. I won't be returning.

    Please update hours. Went around 645am (Sunday) and all lights off?

    The time we went was around 10am. My suggestion would be to check their website for business hours.

    Can you quickly run into this location to grab acai bowls? Trying to make a quick stop here in the morning before we go on a tour!

    Yes! If you go up the ramp of the main entrance of the outrigger beach resort the Sunrise Shack will be the first shop on the left next to the escalator. Acai bowls will take 3-15 minutes depending on how busy it is.

    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.

    I think I may have found my new forever spot…read more This was my first visit, and when I arrived the ordering area was at capacity, so I was standing outside. I noticed a QR code on the door for online ordering, scanned it, grabbed an outdoor table and figured I'd give that a try. I ordered the Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich, the Apple Pecan Salad with balsamic dressing, and a large cold brew. I paid online and sat outside for maybe 15-20 minutes. I never did figure out whether I was supposed to get a notification that my order was ready, so eventually I just went inside to check. Sure enough, it was ready. Easy enough, and everyone I interacted with was incredibly kind. Then I got home and opened everything, and THAT is when I became really impressed. I had included a note with my order that I planned to eat the salad the following day and asked that the wet ingredients be kept separate. They absolutely understood the assignment. Everything was packaged so thoughtfully. The Apple Pecan Salad was beautiful, incredibly fresh and substantial, with the ingredients carefully separated so it would keep. It wasn't some obligatory pile of greens tossed into a container. You could actually see the care that went into making it. The Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich was equally good. Fresh, generously filled and absolutely delicious. I ate half the sandwich and some of the salad and was completely satisfied. Between the two, I can easily get four meals out of what I ordered, which makes the value even better. And the cold brew? Wowzer. Robust and delicious! I think what impressed me most was simply the level of care. A sandwich and a salad aren't complicated foods, but doing simple food really well takes effort. Fresh produce, good ingredients, thoughtful preparation, paying attention to a customer's request, and putting out food that looks every bit as good as it tastes. I felt that in this order. I actually tipped 15% when I ordered because I was thinking, okay, this is basically grab-and-go. After I got home and ate the food, I wished I'd tipped 20%. It genuinely felt good spending my money here. This was visit number one, and they've already set the benchmark. I really hope they stay exactly like this, because what a find. I will absolutely be back.

They use fresh mangoes to make the smoothie. And have a scoop of sticky rice sitting on the bottom. I wish they had added a little more coconut milk or some kind of liquid to loosen up the sticky rice a bit to make it easier to drink. Sucking that up was a quite difficult. I recommend using your straw to poke at it for a bit to break it up before trying to suck it out. Aside from that this drink was perfect. It was everything I was hoping for. Exactly what you would imagine drinking this yummy dessert is like. I tried to use the app to order but it wasn't working so I used the kiosk at the counter. Worked fine. I had just signed up for an account right before i got intk line. My number didn't work when I tried to sign in at the kiosk to earn points. Perhaps there is a delay. Drink came out pretty quickly.

Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing compared to our previous experiences. The mango pancake was noticeably different from past visits. The crepe was much thicker, and the ratio of cream to mango was about 100:1--the cream completely overwhelmed the mango. I didn't try the Oreo mille crepe cake myself, but the little one said it was good. The service and cleanliness were also lacking. Our table was dirty when we were seated, and we had to specifically ask someone to come clean it. The garbage can nearby was also filled to the brim, which was not very inviting. Overall, the lack of attention to cleanliness and service made the experience less enjoyable. We've visited Mango Mango many times in the past and have generally enjoyed it, which made this visit particularly disappointing. Hopefully, the food quality, cleanliness, and service improve.
