Hands down the best acai bowl I've ever had in my life. I got the Brazilian base acai with the…read morepremium topping (no extra charge) which includes fresh strawberries, banana, blueberries, granola, and honey. The acai is so thick and flavorful, the granola has the perfect crispy texture, and the HONEY - incredible; simply out of this world. This place has literally ruined all future acai bowls for me. I came twice. The first time I got the regular size (16 oz) and the ratio of acai to toppings/granola was perfect. I got the large (24 oz) during my second visit and felt the ratio was off with not enough toppings/granola for the amount of acai in the large. If you want a well balanced bowl I recommend going with the regular size. Not much seating available, more of a grab and go type of place. Both times I took my acai bowl to enjoy by the beach :) can't think of a better way to start the day on this beautiful island.

Tropical Tribe is a cute hidden gem with tasty eats! It is located on the bottom floor of a little…read moreshopping center. It can be a little tricky to find. It is an order and pick up at the counter eatery. My daughter (an açaí bowl junkie) had read the reviews and really wanted to try an açai bowl so we set out to find it. We visited on a Monday morning for breakfast. The decor is beachy and tropical . The vibe is casual and relaxed. It has a tiny indoor seating area and a few tables outside. We sat outside. We ordered a latte, an açai bowl, and a smoothie. I was bummed that my smoothie could not be customized. The base was premade so I was not able to make any adjustments to it. Our items were ready in a reasonable amount of time. The portion size was a little smaller than we expected. As for taste, the açai bowl was good. The smoothie was a little bland, but at the same time, had a tad too much honey. Service was wonderful. We would visit again.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but this is the best açaí bowl I have ever had in my life, and…read moreit is not even close. It is also the best thing I have had on my one-week trip to Hawaii. Let me start by saying I visited this place two years ago and made it my mission to come back. Since my group of nine decided to book a trip to Hawaii, this was the first thing I added to the itinerary. And again, it did not disappoint. The service is top tier. The busser saw our large group come in and asked if we wanted to sit at a table we were eyeing, then cleaned it off for us and added extra seating so all of us could fit. The cashier was also very nice, and once your order is ready, the workers explain the toppings bar so you can dress your açaí bowl however you want (coconut flakes, granola, honey, chia seeds, etc.). I got the regular açaí bowl, and again, it is the best açaí bowl I have ever had. The açaí is thick and very rich, and you can tell the blend is real açaí and the berries on top are fresh. The topping bar is a great touch because you can customize it to your liking. It is sweet but not overly sweet or artificial tasting. It also takes a long time to melt, so you can take your time eating it. We also got a couple waffles on the side, and those were good too.

Nalu was convenient and the menu was simple, but read the ingredients of the acai bowls and thought those would be a great combo. Walked in and there were only a few people eating outside and in. Only one person in front of us in the ordering line. Was not terribly noisy or quiet. Ordered a Queens Bowl with the employee and waited a few minutes to get the bowl and ate it there. They have a water dispenser there along with cups. Nice mixture of the Queens bowl with the crunchiness of cacao nibs, along side with the dollop of peanut butter, coconut flakes, honey drizzle, soft bananas, and tart acai. Would come back for the same bowl!

The juices here are really amazing, which says a lot for my partner and me as we typically turn our noses down on them because they taste too healthy and disgusting for us lol. Not this place though. We tried the following: - Blue Hawaii - seasonal special. Gingery and zesty. - ALOH signature - wow, what a delicious and refreshing green juice! Can't believe how healthy and how much vegetables are in it--yet, it doesn't taste "awful" as other green juices I've tried at other places. - Likelike - amazing beet juice. It's a bit sweeter than the other juices, thanks to the beet. - Macadamia latte (hot with oat milk) - oops, I accidentally ordered it with oat milk instead of macadamia milk. By the time I realized my error, it was too late and the drink was in my hand already. Thus, the macadamia flavor wasn't very strong, but it wasn't bad either. - Mahana latte (iced) - great and refreshing, but not as complex as I expected based on the many ingredients listed for this drink. I think the espresso flavor was very strong and cut right through all other ingredients. Some people may delight in that, while others maybe less so. - Basil pesto toast - simple but good and filling. Comes in two pieces, which makes it easy to share with another person.

It has won Open Table Customer Favorite Award, Trip Advisor Customer Favorite Award, and several local awards, so we thought we'd give it a try. I read some comments about there being a wait, so I made a reservation on Open Table. Glad I did, because this place is quite small. Go up the stairs outside to get to the door, then the dining room is up a few more stairs inside. There are several tables and a cool table in the corner set up with pillows that give it a"loungy" effect. It's got a beachy look with reclaimed wood walls, surfboards, and high wood beamed ceiling. We sat by the open air window, which was nice because you can see down onto people passing on the sidewalk from the second level. Our server was really good and the drinks and food came out fast. Hubby and I ordered the exact same thing --a Blue Hawaiian (rum and pineapple? Yes, please!) and the Big Island Beef Loco Moco. I like my eggs over hard, and they happily did that for me. Everything was delicious, and the portion was big. I love that this place is local and food is locally sourced. Definitely a huge plus in my book! Hopefully we will get to return for breakfast!
