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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'd recommend finding a location close to the beach so you can sit on the sand and enjoy your acai bowl![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Best snack. Best acai!!

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.

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.

History

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 [[HIGHLIGHT]]it was the service and vibe that I felt was so genuinely sunny.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I even got a shirt there because it was such a positive place.

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.

Acai Bowl
Jacqueline Z.

Hidden somewhat behind a hotel, it may be hard to spot this acai bowl place, but we had heard good things about it social media, so we were on a hunt to try out this spot as our first acai bowl destination in our trip. Decided to start off with a classic acai bowl. This location does provide the option to get a small size, which is nice if you just want it as a snack/aren't too hungry. The acai bowl is quite simple: not much fresh fruit and mainly granola as a topping. The acai base was alright as well in my bowl, but in my friend's bowl, the acai was literally.... frozen solid to the point where you couldn't even eat it because it was so hard and the plastic spoon wasn't strong enough. After trying other acai bowl places in Oahu after that, I can say that the bowl I had here was definitely bottom ranked.

I went here 2x on my trip. The first time the wait was long at 8am and they ran out of açaí. So i ended up getting a tropical bowl. Second time I went at 6am so there was no line and I got the Açaí. The medium is perfect for 2 people maybe even 3 for a light snack. I definitely couldn't finish one by myself. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's tucked in a bit and the place is really small.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's difficult to get your order if there's a lot of people in there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Usually we would just take it and go somewhere else to eat it![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, worth the hype!

Amelia M.

Açaí bowls & iced vanilla lattes all day everyday. When in hawaii, it's a total must. Service is great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their themed shops are so cute and very beachy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Anything gluten-free other than the granola?

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.

The service was quick though and the staff were very friendly they gave wonderful recommendations. It's a smaller coffee shop that has both drinks, to go foods, and hot foods made to order. They have nice indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy your drinks. It's a nice spot to take a break from shopping and relax. I order the strawberry cloud matcha and the presentation was beautiful and my drink was really tasty. I enjoyed that it wasn't too sweet. I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu!

Refreshing beverage in Ala Moana Center, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. After lunch, I searched my Yelp app for "tea" and scrolled down until I found Ebar. Located on the second level of Nordstrom, Ebar has been around for over nine years (according to First To Review). Wow. It's a cozy, busy place! The two cashiers were efficient and pleasant! There were a few small tables inside and a bunch outside... but it's too warm for me on an August afternoon to go outside, and inside was packed... so, I took my Avocado Toast and Coconut Lime Cooler to my car. Haha! Service was friendly and efficient! After I ordered the Avocado Toast, she asked if I wanted a drink. I should have taken her hint. I went back in line for the Coconut Lime Cooler. LOL! The avocado toast was great! I could taste a touch of garlic and a bit tartness from balsamic vinegar? The Coconut Lime Cooler was interesting. It was like a soda without sugar. It was carbonated water with coconut cream on the top and some lime syrup? It wasn't sweet like a soda pop... which is a good thing! Originally, I wanted to get the Açai Sorbetto bowl, but I caught the fragrance of toast... and got the Avocado Toast. So - I should return for the Sorbetto bowl... and a plain croissant... because the customer in front of me ordered the croissant... and it sounded and smelled good!

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.

I came in because I saw that they had vegan donuts. He said I could do guava, blueberry, or plain,…read morebut he recommended the guava. 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.
