Nothing screams picnic quite like an iced latte and panini pairing. I ordered the chicken pesto panini, apple chai kombucha, and a mushroom iced latte. This latte did loads for my social meter. Giving me the extra pep to talk all things books. The sandwich was stacked with thick pieces of avocado, jalapeños, and sliced chicken. A very filling meal that definitely caught everyone's eye. Would love to return and explore more of their food menu.

Stayed in Irvine overnight and was looking for a breakfast spot before hitting the road. Decided…read moreto check out Kona Loa due to their coffee choices. So glad we did. Inside is very cozy. There's also some seating outside as well. We love Portuguese sausage and was glad they had that as a protein option. Staff was very helpful when we asked for suggestions. We ordered the Kim chee burrito with Portuguese sausage and a breakfast burrito with Portuguese sausage. We also got the Island coffee (coconut flavored) and Spanish coffee (condensed milk and cinnamon). Both drinks were amazing. We also really liked the Kim chee burrito. One bite and my husband and I wish we ordered 2. It went so well with the sour cream. The service was very fast as well. This is a must try if you are in the area! Wish I had pictures but we enjoyed it so much it was gone.

SERVICE - located in a big shopping complex…read more- plenty of parking available in lot - good amount of seating indoors and outdoors at at tables for up to four people - need to order at counter and then they call out your name when your order is ready - staff are very friendly and welcoming - depending on the time the order can take a few minutes to be made - ambiance good for a casual meal or snack MENU - smoothies, juices, and other refreshing treats - all vegan/vegetarian - average price FOOD - launch bowl (6/10): banana date coffee base topped with chia pudding, berries, granola, and cacao nibs. This one sounds like a decadent chocolatey treat with mocha flavors. I am not a huge coffee fan but wanted to try the mushroom blend and the chocolate protein that comes in this one. The coffee flavor is quite strong and there is a significant punch of caffeine so if you need something to wake you up the get this. My favorite part was the chocolate drizzle on top. The smoothie itself was very icy. I got multiple chunks of ice as I was scooping through the bowl. I am not sure if that is a one off occurrence or because of the nature of the ingredients. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes but I would get one of the fruitier bowls rather than this one.

I also come here (at least) twice a week. On the weekends and whenever I take a weekday off work. I start work too early to come during the week otherwise I'd probably be here 7 days a week. I get the São Paulo bowl and I add blueberries, peanut butter, chia seeds and slivered almonds. It is honestly so good I haven't even tried anything else lol. I need to but I'm a creature of habit. The fruit is so fresh and the portions are always perfect. I happened to show up on an anniversary a few weeks ago so now I have a cool Açaí Republic T-shirt.

I wish I knew the gals name that's usually there on Saturday and Monday mornings. I walk in and she says HEY ANGIE! You rarely find that kind of customer service anymore. And if you ever walk in when they are making the pumpkin bread? Omg. It smells like heaven. Also, the açaí here is the best I've ever had. The taste is so much better than anywhere else.

I asked for more blueberries and less pineapple, they said no. These are very simple things that can make or break a repeat customer and I felt that this employee at the time I went couldn't do those things. We also had issues with the credit card machine. The bowl I ordered was $10.50 and the machine rang it up for $11.50 and she couldn't take off the $1 extra. I get it. It's only a $1 and I would be ok. But it was the whole principle of it all. The store was clean and bright inside but I was the only customer the whole time ie as there. Simple and tasty but please empower your employees to make simple decisions to make your customers more satisfied. They will come back if you do!

I was going to go with a classic açaí, until I saw the blue spirulina coconut pineapple base. The worker even asked if we wanted a sample and then I was officially convinced. You can do a make your own bowl or choose from a couple options on the menu. I just did that base with bananas (super simple) and my friend went with The Tidal Wave (on the menu). One thing that really surprised me was that whole my bowl had many less ingredients, it was over a dollar more...? Not too sure why.

I should note that the quality of the smoothie totally depends on who is making it because some employees make them with the perfect texture while others can make em too watery or they don't make it with the right proportions. The more you customize it the harder time some employees seem to have making it right unless you tell them EXACTLY how to make it. I will say they all are usually super friendly and give the place a warm vibe and more often than not my order is made properly/correctly. Also if you download the app there's usually a first time discount (ie $2 off your order) and you can get points for each order moving forward. Lastly just fyi: this location now also accepts EBT
