    Love this place! This is always a must when coming to the north shore! I always get the sharks cove with apple juice blend and add almond butter on mine! Acai bowls are always good and consistent. Service could be friendlier as I wasn't greeted and was asked "what do you want?" I am not expecting amazing service but some customer service would be nice.

    San O Smoothie and Dakine Bowl

    It was my first time coming to this location. My boyfriend and I came in on a Monday morning and it wasn't that busy. Thankfully, they offer parking in the back of the building and there were a bunch of spots. When I walked in we were greeted right away and the two girls were very welcoming. They were working on other orders, but told us to give them a couple minutes. The cafe isn't that big, but definitely designed to be local looking. There are a few tables inside, outside and seats near the window. My boyfriend and I got a small DaKine Acai Bowl and Large San O Smoothie. Although we got a small acai bowl, it was a very filling and im surprised that it had a strong peanut butter taste. We thought it would be on top, but it was blended in. They do not skimp on the granola or the almonds for this bowl. There was granola on the bottom and on the top. Kinda disappointed that there was only bananas as the fruit topping, but there are other bowl variations that have other fruits - im just used to having strawberries, bananas and blueberries. The smoothie was very refreshing and a perfect blend of sweet and tart. Overall, I was happy with the service and food. It took about 5-10 minutes to get our orders, but it was because there was only two if them working and there were others before us.

    There are a few things on the island that is instant gratification on a hot day, something cold and sweet always hit the spot. But which one to pick is truly a task. Came here on a friend's recommendation and glad I did. The menu tend to be overwhelming because too many choices and it all looks so good. It might take at least 5 min to peruse...peak time might be a longer line. Even a small size is big enough for two to share.

    Everything went well! Promptly greeted upon entering. Clean and spacious eatery with full view of preparation of order. As it was my first time there, I take a couple of minutes or so to look over the menu overhead. They were very patient with me. I ordered a large OG bowl with almond milk. It was delicious! Banana slices and honey top it off! Cold but nutritious! Just what I needed after the long drive over from Honolulu and just before walking around the beautiful Haleiwa beach area! I hope to return on my next vacation to Oahu!

    We ordered a small banzai bowl blended with apple juice, and a small OG bowl! (Left to right)

    My family and I went to Banzai Bowls in Hale'iwa around 4 pm on a Saturday. There's free parking out back. We got lucky since the lot wasn't super congested. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Cute surf decor around the shop! When we walked in we weren't greeted (no biggie, it was noisy from the blenders going off). When we walked up to the counter to order the cashier didn't say hi to us. She was just sitting and kind of looked like she didn't want to be there lol I get it girl we all been there. But sheesh! So I knocked a few stars off for bad service. I understand this is not a high end/fancy restaurant but some basic manners to me is standard. But who knows maybe she was having a bad day. The portion sizes definitely saved this place! $16.50 for a small sounds crazy but if you look at the pictures, they are very generous with the fruits! We all know how expensive fruits are in HI. I'm not much of an açaí person but I enjoyed my bowl

    I heard about BB from Stacey H., who knows all about food and everything else, so I decided to stray away from my usual and try something new-to-me. Came here after a north shore hike. Although it's in busy Haleiwa town, there's an adequate amount of free customer parking in the parking lot behind the building, shared with other businesses. It was confusing if the parking lot entrances are one-way or two-way. Although Stacey H. raved about the acai bowl with PB, I tend to not like protein-filled acai bowls and like the more fruity ones, so I ordered the "Sharks Cove Bowl". I came by myself, so I ordered a small ($13.50 as of 3/15/25), which is a GIANT serving for one person. You would get the most bang for your buck if you shared a large ($16.50) with someone that has the same taste as you. I initially thought the price was steep for an acai bowl, but the acai tastes wonderful (I had it blended with apple juice. Almond milk was offered as an option.), it was blended just right - not soupy, and they topped it with fresh, giant, tasty blueberries and strawberries, as well as bananas, granola, goji berries, and honey. I really like this bowl! I would go as far to say that this acai bowl tastes better than Haleiwa Bowls nearby, which was my previous fave (I still love HB's Blue Majik bowl - which is NOT an acai bowl but spirulina + pineapple). I'll likely be bouncing between the two. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and you can even walk across the street to enjoy your bowl at the beach. Best of luck taking a left outta the parking lot to return to town. I recommend being patient and waiting for a nice local to let you turn. Be shua to trow one shaka aftah dat ack of kine-ess.

    Solid acai bowls. Loved the Banzai Bowl for all the fruits you get on it, and the rest were good too, especially adding a scoop of mini chocolate chips. Da Kine and Off the Wall were good too! The servers were helpful in giving suggestions, and the portions were pretty good. There's a few good shops right next to this location for clothes and gear. Some beach within walking distance and spots to sit and eat that overlook it. You might find parking right by the place or a little further down the street off the highway.

    Seating area vibes.

    My partner and I ordered smoothies, the wedge and lowers. Both were super tasty and we knew it would take a while and were happy to wait for quality smoothies. We both got smalls and thoroughly enjoyed them as they disappeared quick. The only reason for the 3 stars is for one of the employees lack of customer service, you'd think you killed her puppy. From the sounds of some of the less than stellar reviews, they're based on the horrible customer service, not the smoothies/bowls. If I were the business owner, I'd probably have a meeting expressing the importance of customer service. People chose to spend their money where they feel like they're money is worth spending and I'd think twice about here. Again, solely based on the service. Doesn't seem like there's been much of a change over the years so I don't expect any change.

    This place was a cool little find needing a cool treat on a hot day. We stopped here to grab some açaí bowls. I was not the biggest fan of açaí bowls but coming here changed my mind. We got the original bowls. Pretty big portions and the bowls were nutritious and delicious. Service was good also we will come back.

    Small Sharks Cove Bowl

    First timer. Acai is fine, nothing special. Came on Yelp to see if anyone else mentioned the poor customer service. Not surprised to see that 3 hours ago someone posted about the same thing! The young lady at the counter looked annoyed to be there and didn't greet us or thank us. I watched as others came after and she did the same thing. Maybe the business owner needs to have a training on Customer Service 101, because with the many acai options in Haleiwa, it's easy to not come back!

    Hadi A.

    Wow!! I can believe the customer service in this place. People, trust others reviews. Don't go there unless if you want to be treated like shit. The Açaí were ok. The ambiance is whatever. They show you a large bowl but be aware that it comes half full. Anyways do not recommend this place to anyone.

    I shared the large banzai bowl, and we both loved it! It tasted great, and was loaded with fruit and granola. I would definitely recommend this place to others- it felt like you got your moneys worth for the bowl!

    Super cute shop with a simple layout and clean airy vibe. I was shocked at how big a small bowl was, super pleased with the portions! Ingredients were amazing. I ordered before going across the street to use the bathroom, the employees kept my bowl in the fridge til I returned to keep it from melting! Wish they had a bathroom on site. My compostable spoon had a strong synthetic smell that threatened the flavor of each bite but I just traded it for one in the car.

    This is my favorite place for açaí bowls when I am on the North Shore. Also take visitors when we go to see the sunset.

I have been to an Island Vintage Coffee before, but not this location. The shop here is located in the Haleiwa Store Lots and is quite large. With that space, there is a lot of seating as well as numerous stands of merchandise and coffee for sale. For my coffee on this afternoon, I ended up going with an iced Island Latte, which is a latte with macadamia nut and a hint of coconut. It only took a couple of minutes before my coffee was ready, and my dad and I headed back to the car to try it. My coffee tasted good as the coffee flavor itself was bold and very noticeable. I could also taste the macadamia nut, which gave the coffee a slightly nutty flavor. Last but not least was the coconut, which they said it had a hint of, and they were not wrong. Overall, it was a good coffee and it hit the spot for the afternoon pick me up I was going for. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My coffee here was pretty good and I would totally be up for trying their Hawaiian Honey Latte, which I almost ordered today.
