Was craving octopus poke specifically and was relieved to find Aloha Bowls & Tea walking distance within Waikiki. Surprised to find that this tiny shop was located within the shopping villages connecting the Hilton resorts and was primarily known for their acai bowls. When we walked there, live music was playing and there was plenty of seating outdoors. Ordered the shoyu tako poke bowl. Originally wanted to order without rice, just on its own, but that wasn't exactly an option and I'm really glad things worked out the way they did, because their rice is amazing lol. Served fresh and warm, nice and chewy (I hate soggy rice!) and intentionally seasoned underneath your poke with a little drizzle of sweet soy sauce, so the whole bowl is delicious from top to bottom. Tako was so soft and perfectly seasoned and flavorful. Really impressed and quick service too. Would def come again! read more

Go the original aloha bowl. The ingredients used from the açaí was way to sweet as their base and lacked good flavor acai, the honey used you Can tell is not organic and also very sweet and artificial along with the granola used. If your desperate for acai come here or if you have time to make the walk Hawaiian aroma cafe. Also the prices here for what you're getting you'll know is a rip off. read more

What a great way to start the day! The bowl options were great, and the touch of pineapple ice cream on the Pineapple Delight was really good. Loved the texture and there was a decent amount of fruit. Poke was good too. It's nice because it's on the resort so it's super convenient. 4 STARS! Fast service, good options, and plentiful. Price is as expected. Poke was good. read more

Their açaí bowls are literally the best I have ever had. I had one EVERY single day of my stay at the Hilton... I know.. expensive but worth it to indulge. I opted for this as my breakfast or dessert any chance I got. So daily. I got the same one, with papaya. I am going to miss this place. If you're wondering if you should try this place. YES! read more

Aloha Bowls and Tea is located near the Tapa Bar at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort in Honolulu. My family and I stopped by a couple of times during our vacation - one for some acai bowls and another for some smoothies. Our favorite was the Hawaiian Sun Rise acai bowl that had fresh papaya as well as mango sorbet on top. For the smoothie, my daughter ordered the Chocolate Banana flavor and loved it. Service was fine, nothing special. Just a younger kid taking orders and a few people in the back making the orders. As for ambiance, it is just a storefront window that you order at - there are no tables, but we took our acai bowls and ate them around the nearby pool. Aloha Bowls and Tea also offers a few different types of poke bowls as well as fresh tea with boba drinks. Overall, the orders came out quickly and the location was convenient. read more

Was laying out by the pool and wanted a fresh cool snack. This place is located right next to the tapa pool and tower. It's a small place on the corner. Service was friendly and quick. I ordered the original aloha and it was perfect. Fresh fruit. Lots of flavor. Just enough sweet with the honey added. Yummmmm. Highly recommend grabbing a bowl! read more

Prices have gone up since the Yelp menu photo I looked at. It's now $7.95 for a milk tea plus $1.25 for jelly or boba, but I still think it's a good value as most other comparable drinks I've found are ranging $11-$16 (even at the mall). The tea was perfect. I loved the strength of the tea-- very present, in a good way. They didn't skimp on the jelly (normally I get boba with my milk teas but I wanted to try something different). The Aloha Milk Tea (#60) is your standard basic milk tea but it was so good. Very sweet, but not overly. I WAS however bummed that they weren't willing to let me try a sample of the coffee jelly (would it really have been too much for them to use one of the plastic spoons they provide with the açai bowls to scoop a little coffee jelly for me to try before confirming that as my choice? ). As I've never had coffee jelly I played it safe and went with lychee. The lychee jelly was good. Overall the service was ok and ambiance wasn't anything special (this is basically a grab and go kind of place). Some upbeat tropical music (Hawaiian Reggae?) could have added to the ambiance I guess. read more

Stopped by Aloha Bowls and Tea for a quick acai bowl. It was good, not bad, not amazing. Nothing really stood out about it, and the bowl wasn't quite as flavorful or fresh as the ones I'm used to back home. Overall, it did the job. If you're nearby and want something light, it's a decent option, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

The checkout process was smooth and easy. We ordered the Honeydew Milk Tea with tapioca pearls (boba) and the Matcha Milk Tea with boba -- and honestly, they were the best we've had on the island so far! We're from the Kapolei side, and the boba here tasted like soft mochi balls, which was amazing. The tea wasn't watery like some of the spots back home, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The wait time was reasonable, prices were fair, and the service was great. We'll definitely be coming back on our next staycation! read more

Quick stop to get a refreshing treat after the beach. Personally, I would have liked more fruit and less acai but it was overall a good bowl. The acai was also a little too frozen for my liking but that might be nice on a particularly hot day. It's located in the Hilton Hawaiian Village, which is a beautiful area to walk around and shop. Lots of scenic spots nearby to enjoy your bowl and/or drink. read more

My husband and I are staying at Hilton Hawaiian village and I wanted a little snack to enjoy at the beach on the resort. It's tucked away, close to the Starbucks. Service was really quick and the prices are fair enough for having the convenience for having it on premises. The regular size was plenty for me. The fruit was fresh and the granola stayed crunchy and sweet. Wouldn't mind getting it again. read more

Solid spot by the Hilton Hawaiian Village for quick grab and go acai bowls, fruit smoothie drinks, and poke. I came here every morning right when it opened during my stay at Hilton Hawaiian Village so I was able to try several of the acai bowls and poke. The acai bowls were a bit on the smaller side but still filled me up. They were fresh and wasn't frozen like some reviewers mentioned. I thought the poke was also very good. There are spicy and non spicy options, the spicy ones were very spicy for my weak spice tolerance level. read more

We were on the hunt for boba and this popped up somewhere near our hotel. As a Midwest girl, these Hawaii prices I just couldn't get over. $10 for a drink is insane but c'est la vie. Just be prepared for that! It's in a really unique location and can be a little hard to find if you're not staying in the hotels. Super convenient to order at the window and grab it to go, but it did take them some time (about 10 min) to make two drinks. Perfect for what we were needed but I'm sure there were better spots on the main strip. read more

This review is from when I visited here during my trip to Hawaii in February 2024. I was walking around Waikiki and shopping at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel, I wanted to drink boba tea and stopped by this shop. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations because the store wasn't that fancy, but I was surprised to find that the Boba milk tea was delicious. What I found delicious was that the overall balance was excellent, the tea was strong (that's what I like), and had a good balance of sweetness and bitterness, the hardness of the boba. The service was quick. When I have a chance, I would like to try fruit bowls next time. read more

This place was pretty good for a morning bite. I would have loved to enjoy peanut butter in one of their bowls, but that is just personal preference, the Acai was super frozen (almost a bit more than I would have liked), the service was quick and I don't think there is a bad place to enjoy the scenery and eat in Hawaii. This is a quick service window and you can easily grab your food and walk about 100 feet to the beach or 50 feet to the pool across the way. Overall good, I would go back if I'm in the market for a quick and easy light breakfast. read more

Right in the middle of the hotel next to the Hawaiian Village, this place is on the way out to the beach. So it's easy to get trapped, stop, for a quick drink or acai bowl...lol. Like everything in Hawaii, it's a bit more expensive, but it's really good. Everything is fresh...BUT I think they use puree instead of fresh fruit for some things. It makes the suagr content a bit higher, but all things considered if you;'re eating or drinking this stuff sugar is probably not a real big concern of yours. Service is relatively quick, they take your order and payment and you can stand there and wait. You can even sit by the pool right next to them if there are chairs available. Being set in the hotel, its not glamorous or wow, but it's really convenient. I ended up trying the limondae and original aloha acai bowl. Both were very good. The acai bowl had strawberries, blueberries, banana, and honey, on top of granola and acai. It was actually really good. The limonade was not too sweet and had actual fruit in it on the bottom so you could let it sit for a while and not worry about it being too watered down flavorwise. The girls hit this place up a couple of times during our stay, I can definitely recommend trying this place at least once. I'll need to come by and try there poke bowls next time we vacation out here. read more

I got a Honeydew Milk Tea: 1) There was a fruit fly in it. Luckily, it was floating at the top, along the side, so I spotted it righ away. I didnt bother for a re-do. I lost trust with their cleanliness back there. They refunded me. My husband got a smoothie (with some seeds) so there was no way of telling if he had fruit flies in his too. 2) Too neon green. I've never seen honeydew itself or honeydew juice so neon green. General consensus: - Fake & unclean (both quality wise & physical cleanliness standards) read more

I absolutely love their açaí bowl! They layer granola not just on top but also at the bottom, which adds the perfect crunch throughout. My only wish is that they stayed open a bit later. Their hours--8 AM to 6 PM--feel a little early, especially since they're located right outside the Tapa Pool. It would be so convenient to grab an açaí bowl after a late-night swim! read more

Saw this place from my room balcony and knew we had to make a pit stop to try this place! They open at 8am so we planned on getting acai and doing the gym. This place is AMAZING! Everything is FRESH! And when I say fresh I mean fresh. They purée and squeeze the fruit right there for the fresh made teas. The fruits are so full of flavor and goodness! Love that the pineapple is cut small into diced pieces. Hubs and I shared the large Original Aloha acai bowl. We also got the limeade and mango Jasmine tea with no sugar. I was amazed to find that it's actually no sugar! Most places will have the sugar from whatever fake mango flavor they are using. Not here! My tea tasted like jasmine green with mango, real mango throughout!! Fresh and delicious! If you know me you know I have to have my tea. And I loved this so much that I'll be back here every single day of our stay!! Next up is the peach jasmine then the matcha with coconut milk! If you are in the area come check this place out. You won't leave disappointed. read more

Let me tell you this was the freshest fruit bowl I have ever had the menu offers lots of options, and the fruit is very fresh and tasty. The wait time was very short. The restaurant is a little challenging to locate as it is in the back of the Hawaii Wakaki hotel near the pool, the waiting area is very limited as there are many people moving about by the pool headed to the beach it is just a very very busy area. But don't let this discourage you this açai. Ibo was beyond amazing I could've eaten this every day, this is just a grab and go. There is no area to sit down and eat. read more

I love me some acai bowls. Although most acai bowls are loaded with sugar, the acai bowls taste good.the Ines here are portioned well, so you don't feel horrible when you eat them. They aren't too big but not small either especially if you go with the large. The prices were approaching 20$ just shy of it and I felt it was too expensive. We also ordered a poke bowl and that was about 17$ with half the container being white rice and a little bit of poke on top. Overall, dissatisfied with this purchase. The total was somewhere in the mid 50$ range for all including tax. Sure the meals were delicious, but 50$!? That's alot of money for an acai bowl and poke bowl. BTW we got 2 acai bowls so that's why it is 50 ish dollars. Was I satisfied with the purchase? Not really, but I was hungry and at least the service quality was good. They were made quickly about 3 minutes or less. read more

The aloha açaí bowl was great, I just wish they had more truly Healthy options. The smoothies are made with fruit puree instead of actual fruit, and I believe they even add sugar as well. The bananas also could have been cut in more in slices. Other than that I loved the convenience of it on the way to the beach or pool and the service was quick! read more

The last time we staycationed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, we walked across Ala Moana Blvd to pick up some acai bowls. This time, we didn't have to leave the resort! Located near the Diamond tower and Tapa pool is Aloha Bowls and Tea! With roots in Maui, this local small business serves up acai bowls, smoothies, and poke bowls.  They source local ingredients when available and use fresh sashimi grade ahi for their poke bowls. The fruit smoothies are made with real fruit and all drinks and bowls are made to order for optimum quality. For breakfast, my son and I ordered acai bowls. I had the Original Aloha and he had the Hawaiian Sun Rise.  The bowls come in two sizes: regular and large.  The original Aloha comes with organic acai, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, organic honey, and organic granola.  The Hawaiian Sun Rise comes with organic acai, strawberries, big island papaya, mango sorbet and puree, organic honey, and organic granola.  The bowls were delicious!  We also picked up a strawberry blueberry smoothie for my daughter and she enjoyed it as well. Aloha Bowls and Tea is a great addition to the food options at the Hilton Hawaiian Village! read more

Really good acai bowls! Lots of acai and fresh ingredients. Smoothies could be better/heartier. We tried the tako poke bowl which was delicious. Not every place has tako so we liked it. read more

A great acai bowl option in the Hilton hotel area. It's a couple dollars more expensive than something off the resort, but you're here for convenience right? The acai bowls were refreshing and had a great mix of granola and fresh fruit and honey. the double layer of granola here was perfect. We got the large bowls a couple times during our stay. Personally I liked the original bowl more than the tropical version, but I think there's something perfect about the creamy banana slices in contrast to all the bright, tart flavors in acai bowls. Can't go wrong either way though! read more

Super convenient kiosk at The Tapas Pool in the family friendly vacation mecca, the Hilton Hawaiian Village. The staff managed the constant flow of boba, smoothie, acai and poke orders efficiently and of course with the welcoming Aloha spirit. Straighforward menu with a good variety of options and toppings. We tried the matcha milk tea with boba and the lasmine tea with lychee jelly. Both drinks hit the spot on an 83 deg F day the day before Thanksgiving. The acai bowls and smoothies looked fresh and the full wall of bananas in the kitchen was an impressive testament. Convenient location so looking forward to trying a few more options during our visit! read more
