Amazing aloha spirit. Some beautifully curated, local products and delicious smoothies and açai fruit bowls. If you're lucky and they still have their banana bread, it's vegan and gluten-free sometimes it has chocolate chips. They went over the top to help me with some ginger tea with lemon and honey. I was so grateful. Big shout out to the wonderful. Anthony read more

Very small establishment with a counter to order plus four high top seats along the window. (Some of the photos on Yelp with arm chairs are not representative of this location). Overall the inside is super meh. More of a grab and go location. Anyway the three stars are because the açaí bowl wasn't all that great. The texture of the açaí itself was pretty icy and the flavor was strange...like it had an ever so slight after taste of mint or something herbal mixed into it which I did not like. The fruits on top were okay, but seemed less compared to other places. The almond butter was also added in clumps which made it pretty unpleasant to eat - as opposed to other places that coat the inside of the bowl or use a nozzle to evenly distribute the almond butter so it's easier to eat with the other ingredients. Anyway I'd much prefer the açaí bowls at either Honolulu coffee co or sunrise shack which are just a couple blocks away from here. read more

When in Hawaii, one has to have fruit bowls! My boyfriend and I got the lilikoi bowl for breakfast and loved it. The passionfruit flavor is so tart and so real! The base has a perfect icy texture that pairs well with the fresh fruit on top. It's not too sweet at all. We sat at the bar to eat it together, and the large is definitely enough to share between two people. I enjoyed it so much. read more

Açaí cravings brought us to ALO CAFE HAWAII in Waikiki! What initially piqued my interest was the name. Is this cafe related to the yoga clothing brand "alo"?? Nope! :-) We decided to check it out anyway due to the rave reviews on their coffee and customer service. It was only 1-mile away from our resort, so we walked. ALO is situated in a building which was under construction, but the business is open. The cafe itself is on the smaller side...just enough room to place your order at the counter. There is a bar with maybe 3 seats available, but it certainly got crowded once we sat down to wait for our order. Don't let this deter from trying them out! We opted for the "Happy Bowl + Drink Combo" for a 10% discount. So, we ordered a Lilikoi Bowl + Iced Americano. Wow!!! I looked at my +1 and said, "We should've ordered two!" The bowl was so refreshing, fruits were crisp, the Lilikoi base was delicious!! Not very sweet. Nice compliment for the toppings. Of all the Açaí bowls I had on our 7-day vacation, would rank this as #1!! We loved this bowl so much, we decided to also check out the ALO cafe in Kaka'ako for lunch! read more

It took almost 10 minutes to receive our açaí order - despite us being the only customers in there for probably 5 minutes. They waited for a few more people to order and come through before even attempting to make our food. The worker also screwed up our order and added blueberries when wife is allergic to them. They tried to say to just pick them off - as if not understanding the implication after we'd explained. It was $15 wasted for awful service. read more

I was craving açaí and found this place I'd never tried before. The barista was super friendly and gave me the run down on all the different bowls. I tried the lilikoi bowl which is a bit more tart than traditional açaí and I really liked it. The fruit was super fresh and the agave syrup paired really well with the tartness of the base. They also give out free banana bread samples and repeat passes (15% or 20% off if you go again in 48 hrs). I highly recommend checking them out! read more

Had many of their smoothies and their delicious banana nut bread. All are wonderful, freshly made. And I'm pretty sure they add Love to everything they serve. Delightful staff, quick, efficient and conscientious! The inside is tiny with 3 chairs. And why sit inside when you're in Hawaii? Tables and chairs outside and a park across the street. I highly recommend this place as does my sister. It's great! Smoothie, acai bowls. And make changes to suit your taste. They are very flexible. read more

We got the medium acai bowl and they kindly let us substitute cacao nibs for kiwi! It is only $1 to upgrade so I would probably recommend upgrading. The acai bowls are a little bit more expensive than other places around here but more health focused (icier blend and less sweet and smooth). Comes with lots of yummy fruits and macadamia toppings. This location of ALO is more of a takeout place, not much seating! They also have a vegan banana bread that is made without added sugar, $7/ slice. Keep in mind there is a small credit card fee, 4% or something like that. read more

On my last visit, I searched high and low for an acai bowl to rival Da Cove, trying popular spots like Leahi, Lanikai Juice, and Nalu. All were just too sweet for my taste, making me wonder if they use those pre-made Costco packets. Enter Alo Cafe Waikiki, a small gem run by two lovely ladies, Aya and Christina. (There is a second location in Kakaako - I will being visiting again soon!). They even offered me samples of their delicious homemade banana bread (which I regretted not purchasing) and were happy to custom-make a mango smoothie (I would skip the smoothie next time personally, as it was nothing special?) The true highlight was their acai bowl, crafted from a homemade recipe. The texture was perfect - delightfully icy and, finally, not too sweet! I got the large, planning to share, but ended up devouring most of it. My only minor note is that I'd love more fruit, though you can add extra for a charge. Highly recommend! read more

We happened to be in Waikiki and wanted smoothies and found this place on yelp. It's a bit hidden the place has scaffolding around it right now. My husband got the medium açaí bowl which was good but pretty small for $15. And I got the island breeze smoothie which was $11 again pretty pricey but it is Waikiki so it's kinda expected. The drink was very tart and all I could really taste was the pineapple nothing else. read more

Cute small shop with lots of healthy and fresh options. I opted for the lillikoi base because açaí is so much more common. It was a little bit more tart than I would have liked and not as blended - more icy. It was fine for fresh fruit base in Hawaii- but for the price $16 for the large i would have hope for more fruit toppings. read more

Best place among the many in Waikiki to get açaí bowls. It's a way to both chill and be healthy. ALO is located in a pretty busy area. Kind of hard to find because it's an unassuming looking place. There's not much room inside so most people get takeout. A good place for breakfast and lunch. It's open pretty early so get a healthy start. The açaí bowls are the main thing. Fairly okay prices for the portions. They lack a lot into these. It's about $13 for a small one. The Açaí Bowl is the classic flavor, topped with bananas, blueberries, cacao nibs, granola, honey, macadamia nuts, pineapple, and strawberries. Honey can be changed to agave for no extra charge. They also have baked items like zucchini bread and that kind of stuff. Good place to get something cool literally and figuratively. It's located on Kūhiō at Ka'iulani. There's many options for vegans and vegetarians. read more

ALO Cafe Hawaii is a little cafe that serves açaí bowls, smoothies, banana bread, among other things. Again, this place is small so just be aware it'll seat just a few there. The menu isn't huge, it has all of your basics including açaí bowl options. The staff here was friendly. She was by herself, but pretty attentive and made sure to greet us and let us know she'll get to us. We got two bowls here. The basic berry açaí bowl, and a peanut butter one. So let's rate both. The peanut butter chocolate one, while okay in small doses, was just way too much in practice. I mean, it was good for maybe the first 4 or 5 spoons of it, but then it became clear there was no chance for me to keep eating it. Just way too rich. The berry version was better and felt more refreshing. I could certainly keep eating that berry blended stuff they had in there. Felt more like a bowl of eat as a snack or smaller meal as opposed to the PB and death bowl. All in all, nice spot with some good açaí bowls. I do wish the prices were slightly lower though as these açaí bowls were certainly not cheap. Though, wasn't bad at all for the berry bowl, and you get a good amount of ingredients crammed into each bowl. read more

We ordered the Hawaiian Roll & Kale Salad and the Coconut Curry Bowl. A-MAZING flavors. The staff also included their amazing tahini dressing to add to the Hawaiian Roll - and it really elevated the roll to a whole other level! Mahalo to the team and restaurant. We ordered and sat in the restaurant around 2pm. They close at 3 but never felt rushed, in fact they told us to relax and take our time. great experience; will be back again soon to work our way through the menu. Mahalo Alo Cafe! read more

This is a small shop with only 1 person working there while we visited on a weekday afternoon. They serve acai bowls, smoothies, coffee/tea, and banana bread. The acai bowls come in small or large size, with the large being only $1 more. I still went for the small, and it was plenty big enough for lunch. It was packed generously with organic acai, granola, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, pineapple, mac nuts, raw honey, pineapple, & cacao nibs. I added homemade peanut butter, which was very yummy, but the peanut butter does overtake all other flavors in the bowl. It's probably best to order to-go as there isn't much seating. The server was super friendly and even told us to try Nalu, another acai bowl place, which I found very odd to mention their competition. I enjoyed my bowl, and felt satiated and refreshed. read more

I don't write reviews much now but I had to for this amazing place! The barista went above and beyond to offer customers free samples of their homemade banana bread and ensured one of the customers waiting for their drink that they were happy with their "splash of milk" in their coffee. The barista personally went to the customer with their coffee and creamer ready to add more until the customer was satisfied and even mentioned that they'd make it right if the customer still wasn't happy later. I ordered the tropical breeze smoothie with added vegan (!!) protein powder. Really yummy and perfect for the weather. Again, above barista came around the counter to hand deliver (!!) me my drink with a smile. The barista and the worker in the back were so warm and inviting! Will definitely visit again in the future. read more

We stumbled on this place right next to our hotel and it's definitely a hidden gem! There are so many acai/breakfast places to choose from in Wakiki, but ALO cafe is great! We got the lilikoi bowl, perfect for the hot Hawaii weather. The base doesn't have much lilikoi flavor but is predominantly banana, which isn't bad but not what we expected. The strawberry, banana, and kiwi topping is delicious and super fresh. The base was a little icy, but not unwelcomed. The store gives off great beach town vibes and the baristas (?) are very kind. They seem to have fresh Dole pineapples, which makes a world of a difference. Great little cafe for acai! read more

Great toppings but markedly much more expensive than other açaí bowl places (about 50-100% more in price). The açaí below does not have the smooth consistency as expected (usually much smoother now it seems it needs to be churned more?).

I found the recommendation of this place on a youtube video. This place is absolutely exaggerated with its bowl, overpriced for a very basic fruit bowl in the name of acai bowl, no cleanliness inside the small shop, not even one comfortable seat to sit. But most importantly, I gave 1 star because the server was absolutely rude on one of my requests. I was simply checking to get change for 10$, I understand they could not fulfill it, but there is no need to be rude to your customers who are visitors here. It doesn't take much to be a bit grounded, you get paid because of the customers. I regret tipping them generously. :( read more

Açaí bowl was good but the experience was completely tainted due to bad customer service from the girl at the front desk. The gentleman in the back that helped make the açaí bowl was good and attentive but the girl in the front was difficult. There is a yelp checkin discount and I asked to redeem it but was told that the discount was for a different location. When I confirmed the address I was then told that it cannot be honored at this location because the owners didn't say anything about it. I was then told that they don't really use yelp. My advice to the business owner is to 1. Remove the checkin discount from yelp or 2. Better train the staff. Açaí bowl - 4/5: good flavor and textures with crunchy texture. Latte - 2/5: only tasted like oat milk - not much coffee taste. read more

Came here because of the good reviews but portions are very small. Almost $20 for a cup of Acai. They only fill the cup halfway with Acai and use the rest of the space for toppings. Also the Acai is veryy icy. It tastes like a watered down Acai mix. Doesn't taste like real quality Acai. Also the toppings look pretty but it's about 1 strawberry thinly slivered. I had cacao on mine and it's less than a teaspoon and they charge you extra. Overall cute but low quality and way overpriced for the amount you get. There's a better spot up the street read more

Came with my parents and husband to try out a new to us vegan place on Oahu, and most of us were…read morepretty happy with it! Three of us got the Iron Man Sandwich (only one of three got "spicy" and it was apparently not super spicy, so spice wimps like me could probably handle it), and my mother got the cheeseburger. The three of us with the Iron Man liked ours, but my Mom wasn't impressed with her burger. My husband also got a banana and peanut butter smoothie (the "nutty banana"), and my parents got the Nutella chocolate milks, and everyone was pretty happy with their drinks! The location itself is pretty cute and small, and appears to be operated solo by the lady we assumed to be the owner and eponymous "Blondie." She was really friendly and helpful while we were trying to decide what we all wanted (we can be a slightly indecisive bunch). I thought the wall of little index cards illustrated by various patrons showing where they were from was a really nice touch! We chose to sit indoors, since outdoor tables that would take four were occupied, but it might be noisy out there with the proximity to the main road. Inside the music can be a little loud, too, but the lady behind the counter turned it down some for us, which was kind of her to offer. Overall a decent little vegan sandwich shop with a great smoothie and drink selection! I think if my husband and I are about town on our own on our next visit to the islands, we might stop by again, but my parents will probably opt for other things given that my mother never gets beyond a first impression. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for a nice vegan meal and beverages!

What…read morea difference location makes as I remember their humble start with their food truck in the lot of Lowe's is now has a permanent spot either on the edge of Chinatown just off on Nimitz and Smith as you can't miss the oasis they created with some seating with bright blue umbrellas for a cozy spot to enjoy. Parking is the greatest challenge though there are a few street metered parking fortunately they are right beside a municipal lot that's just the fraction of the cost though on Sunday all street parking are free. Though there are some cute outdoor spot to enjoy some fresh air the indoor vibe ain't so bad either with artificial turf along with huge windows that bring in the light with bench seating does give that picnic feel while you enjoy and cool of in the air conditioning. What did I enjoy...well thanks to Nadine and some gift certificate she had it was a generous morning of fresh pineapple juice with breakfast sandwich on English muffin all vegan and plant based was just so light and refreshing which is a great way to start my day. The service is always so friendly at this family owned and run biz as they still keep to their amazing menu and vibe that they have here is just so nice and relaxing place. Thank you!

We tried the golden fish tacos, fish and chips, and crème brûlée from this food truck during our…read moretrip to Oahu and everything was delicious. The fish was perfectly crispy with fresh slaw and really creamy sauces. The tortillas for the tacos tasted very fresh too, which made them even better. Both entrées came with lemon wedges that added a nice bright touch. The fish and chips were great and the fries were perfectly crisp. I still think about the crème brûlée. The texture and caramelized top were spot on. Portions were generous as well. We were staying at a nearby resort so it was an easy walk for us. The service was good, although we came when there was not much of a line. The truck is located in a lot with several other food trucks so it is easy to find. I cannot speak to parking since we walked. There are a couple of benches in front where you can sit and enjoy your food, and the truck sits under a huge tree which gives some nice shade from the heat. Overall, I would highly recommend stopping by if you are looking for great vegan food.

The good news is it is fast so if you wait a little bit, someone is likely to finish up and leave. The ambience is definitely casual since it is a truck. There is covered picnic-table style seating for this truck and the other trucks nearby. The food is SO good. I read rave reviews on here for the fish tacos so I orderes them and they did not disappoint. The vegan sour cream is so creamy, thr coleslaw is perfectly tangy and crunchy, and the vegan fish is delightful. My husband got the chicken tacos which were hot, in contrast to the fish tacos. They had avocado and a green sauce and we also liked these though the fish were our favorite. The hibiscus lemonade was lovely and refreshing also. The service here is very fast. We basically ordered and then looked around at the other truck menus and by that time our food was ready! I would definitely recommend this place especially for vegetarians and vegans and would love to come back!

Great food at a great food truck!

Incredible vegan dining on the island -- a rare find!…read more Service was cordial but perhaps a little scattered (returning to the table to confirm the order we'd just placed, bringing tableware they'd already dropped off for us, forgetting our water -- minor things like that). The mai tai was unusual but palatable. The food was amazing! Still thinking about that Da Bao (Soy musubi patties, steamed buns, pickled carrots, daikon, jalapeños, cucumbers, cilantro, scallions, plum wine sauce) and how I'd like to eat it every day. The specialty rolls were works of art that were equally beautiful and had exquisite taste and texture. Manila Dune (Tempura pumpkin, spiced burdock, shredded tofu, avocado crema, chili, renkon chips) was dense but flavorful. Barbers (Smoked beets, spinach, avocado, soy strip, asparagus, rice crackers, seaweed pearls, spicy aioli, suspense) was intriguing as a little game of sushi roulette (hence the final ingredient). Whoever gets the spicy piece also gets the accompanying shot of sake. I was grateful my husband ended up getting that one because it was hot for him which means it would have been very hot for me. My only complaint with either of these specialty rolls is that each piece was quite large and therefor difficult to eat. I had to do the unconscionable thing and nibble away at it to comfortably eat it without it feeling like a choking hazard. Futo maki roll (Age tofu, spinach, shiitake, kanpyo, inari, pickled radish) was no less delicious for its simplicity. Quality was excellent, and everything on the menu sounded like something we wanted to try. We were so impressed by our meal we almost returned the following (our last) night. Lucky for us they have a restaurant in LA which I intend to visit next time I'm in town which is far more frequently than I'm in Honolulu. But would I consider flying to Oahu again for Tane Izakaya? Yes, yes I would.

Via Instagram, customers sign-up for the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. They will message you for pickup time if you're selected. You may takeout or dine-in. The menu for 9-22-24 was a Bento and the dessert was a matcha flight - a scoop of ice cream, warabi mochi, and a regular mochi. Everything looked too beautiful to eat! We watched the workers assemble the bentos and matcha dessert flights. So much concentration and effort is put into each item! I was able to order one of the limited Kahi drinks. It's made with amazake, Yuzu purée, unsweetened yuzu soda, and matcha from Japan. The combination sounds odd, but tasted great! There were bits of yuzu with rind on the bottom of the cup. The citrus flavor was refreshing! This experience makes me want to sign up for the next event - October 13! I wonder what the menu will be...

Their mission is to share their products with people who want a fun, delicious, and easy way to incorporate plant based food into their lives, and they always try to buy from local farmers and shops. This month of November they are serving a very satisfying HONOKEEMA curry set using HONOBONO original gluten-free koji curry paste made with five kinds of spices, fruits, vegetables, and koji; simmered with mushrooms, onions, tomato, konbuk kelp, and shiitake mushrooms. Amazingly the curry is topped with a very believable HONOBONO vegan egg yolk. The curry set is paired with a mini soup and salad of the day and a small bite of mochi. We also got the Imo Frappe - a plant-based version of Starbucks sweet potato Frappuccino and the Aki- amazake with raspberry purée, unsweetened strawberry, sparkling soda with premium uji matcha from Japan. Watch HONOBONO's IG for news of upcoming pop-ups and message them for reservations. Chef and owner Himi is the sweetest and the meals are unique and delicious. The pop up is cute and casual. You'll want to make HONOBONO a repeat experience.

The…read morevariety is incredible -- sandwiches, wraps, noodles, smoothies, plates, soups, and specialty drinks. One of my longtime favorites is their Yuzu Lemonade, but I think the new Aloha Energy Drink may have officially taken the top spot. It has medical-grade beet powder, natural caffeine from guarana, ginseng, and maca -- and you genuinely feel the aloha and the power. Today I ordered the spicy Yakisoba, and the noodles had the perfect bite and mouthfeel. The salad was fresh and crisp, and while I personally could handle quite a bit more spice, I appreciate that they balance the heat so it's enjoyable and approachable for everyone without overpowering the dish. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is always welcoming. The chef is consistently friendly, the staff is kind, and the restaurant is always clean. It's such a great feeling being able to eat somewhere with confidence knowing they're using fresh, clean ingredients. Highly recommend SYOY! Deb B

We tried the kouign amann with the toppings she mentioned as vegan (the butter one is not), and they were pretty good, especially with the cinnamon topping! The young lady at the counter was very helpful and patiently pointed out which things were vegan to us, which I really appreciate. The kouign amann seems like a popular item as we bought the last of them (we had wanted four, but there were only three) and it was still early afternoon. There is a parking garage nearby that allowed for long enough free parking for us to go order and grab our goodies to go. The location itself doesn't have a lot of seating space, so it seems best set up for takeout, but it is a pleasantly bright space and the outdoor seating seems like it would be nice as they're not on a main throughfare. It's far from where my family lives on the island that we stay with when we're visiting, but next time we're near Ala Moana around lunchtime, we'll definitely stop by for some vegan goodies!

It's in a pretty random area along kamakee street. Easily walkable from South Shore Marketplace if you can't find closer parking. It is decorated very cutely with string lights and fairy lights on the tree which surround their outdoor seating area. They also have indoor seating if you prefer. The brick pizza oven is outside. The caesar salad was great, a little heavy on the dressing but definitely tastes like a normal good caesar salad even though it's vegan! The white pizza with the ricotta was amazing and pro tip would be to add the mushrooms. It was my favorite of the 2 pizzas we ordered. We also tried the Brooklyn which has vegan meatball, tomato sauce, basil and again, the ricotta. Yum! The vegan meat easily disguises itself as real sausage. The ricotta is so good on my walk back to the parking I heavily considered researching if it's possible to buy a similar vegan ricotta just from the store. The crust is also top notch which strongly contributes to the quality of the pizza. Pricing is reasonable and service was great. Overall it's a place with a very chill vibe to enjoy good pizza- whether or not you're vegan.
