Delicious fresh items here and Kona black coffee!! They sell shaved iced, açaí bowls, waffles, and dole whip! There's dole whip specials where you can add toppings like pineapple, coconut flakes, strawberry, etc. Everything is refreshing and moderately priced for being so close to the beach and near the main shops of Waikiki.
I've always been meaning to try this place, and finally did. On two separate occasions, I tried the acai Bowl and the Choco waffle Croissant, and they were both excellent. The acai Bowl was classic so no complaints there. The waffle was nice and flaky just like a croissant. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a snack to come here.
10/10 all around. The waffles and coffee were amazing. The service was amazing. Outdoor seating was cool. We got the strawberry waffle, blueberry waffle, and Hawaiian waffle. All of them were amazingggg. So warm and crispy with fresh fruit and cream cheese filling on top! I also got the iced caramel latte which was delicious! I want to eat this everyday for the rest of my life lol
Permanent outdoor stall with some covered picnic tables. They have four different açaí bowls and we got the aloha bowl (I asked for mine without coconut flakes). I loved the transparency of the pricing, the menu states the 16oz bowls are $13.95 (except the Nutella bowl costs $2 more for the same size). I think the options at the Sunrise Shack are a similar bang for your buck, I'd guess their large is a 20oz for $18, but I didn't see other açaí shops in downtown Waikiki with transparent pricing.
While I did indulge in two açaí bowls from here, it was really because of convenience and mother nature had me craving fruit so bad! The first time, I ordered a regular bowl. I am not a fan of coconut so I asked for extra fruit instead. The açai bowl was pretty good but not the best I've ever had. The second time I ordered the açai bowl with nutella. The nutella açai bowl left a lot to be desired, which was surprising considering how much I love nutella. It also seemed to be lacking enough fruit and I don't know if because I asked for extra previously or this was the normal amount. And even though I'm not a fan of ripe bananas, I didn't remove them either time and it wasn't bad. Now this place was convenient, but the customer service was not that kind. There were two people working the stand every time; I believe the same two people. Neither were friendly; I get it you live in Honolulu daily so you're used to it, but the rest of us are primarily on vacation (particularly in Waikiki) and you own or service a customer facing business. They have a few tables outside, where you can enjoy your order however, since I stayed at the nearby hotel, I just took it back to the room.
Convenient spot for shaved ice, acai bowls, and more if you're staying at the hotel beside it or walking along the street! The shaved ice was a little hard and not as smooth as other spots, but it definitely satisfies your craving! Service was pretty fast though and there's seating outside.
5 rounded down to 4.5. Fast service, reasonable prices, and great dole whip. I ordered two dole whips on a weekday afternoon and they came out almost immediately! I did notice they also had a variety of flavors which is nice. They have self serve utensils and napkins and it's a short walk from the beach. Clean spaces to sit and eat if you like also, it's just tucked away in a small plaza that I can picture getting crowded.
During our 6 day trip to Oahu, we came to this spot twice because we liked it so much and it was close to our rental. The acai bowls were so good, one of the best we've had during our trip. Tasted really fresh and came out quickly. The waffles were also tasty. It's a shack style, you walk up to and order then pick up when they call your number. There are a couple of tables and chairs outside available to use.
Yummy flavors and only $1 for dole whip which is soft serve ice cream and it's a very big serving for $1 do def get it on top. The ice cream was already melting when they gave it to us. But it was tasty. And the shaved ice had some consents milk in it, but the ice was a little jumpy and not soft, so we had to break it down with our forks and spoons to make it slushy. Overall tasted yummy with the fresh fruit like mango and pineapple..
Don't walk too fast, or else you will miss this little hidden gem on the strip of Waikiki. Came here on a whim while coming back from a walk and decided to give them a try. I was not disappointed. Unlike other places around Waikiki, Kai's doesn't skimp out on ingredients. I was shocked to see I got strawberries, blueberries and even bananas. (I know its the small things that count) Because of this, the bowl itself is a bit too sweet. I hope the owners can read this and reduce the sweetness of their açaí to allow the fruit flavors to thrive more. They only serve one size but it definitely can be shared. If you were absolutely hungry you can smash this easily, but if you just want to snack on something with someone you totally can do that here as well. Staff were kind, prompt, and fast. My bowl was done before I could even sit down. Highly recommend looking out for this tiny shack!
This is neat little shop that is located in an alleyway, right behind the Outrigger Waikīkī Paradise Hotel, just off of Waikiki Beach. They have smoothies, dole whip, shaved ice, juices waffles, croissants and Acai bowls. it is a stand and they have a few tables and chairs, with umbrellas, on the patio located on the side. The people there were friendly and helpful. I ordered a coco mango smoothie. It took them about 5 minutes to prepare. Their prices were reasonable and my smoothie was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. I really liked it. It was also very filling. I would reccoemend cehcing this place out if you are in the mood for some good shaved ice, smoothie and/or bowl.
First time ever getting a Nutella Acai Bowl.... I guess just cuz it was there is why I got it.... It was really good and refreshing...This is just an outdoor permanent setup like many places in Waikiki area.... I got mine to go to bring back to my Airbnb Made with acai, hemp hearts, granola, pineapple, banana, strawberries, blueberries and of course nutella.... Probably wouldn't get it again just because I'm not the biggest nutella person but it was good... read more
The place is located right out front of our hotel's pool and courtyard. They have a variety of available bowls and shaved ice. Hubby and I wanted something small and split the Kai cup. It was refreshing to have on a hot day in the shade at a table they have available. You can people watch from there too. read more

Kai Fresh is tucked a little away from the street, but in the heart of Waikiki. We stopped here several times for Dole Whips & an Acai bowl. Service was friendly and quick. The dole whips were great. We had just come to Oahu from Disneyland and has several there to compare. They were very good at Kai fresh. I got an Acai bowl another day with Nutella. It was good. I think they pre-make the acai base and add the toppings. Back at home we have an acai food truck that makes amazing bowls fresh when ordered by blending at that time so that's my comparison. Still good. Kai Fresh was also reasonably priced for the area and has some seating. read more

Okay so maybe this is an underrated spot, I'm not sure! We were walking along Waikiki and it was really hot and we were craving for some Dole Whip. We found this place while walking and honestly it's really good! I doubt you can go wrong with Dole Whip but this spot really hit the spot! They were able to make it pretty fast and I like the very small but cozy seating area as well, a perfect place to people-watch and also just enjoy being in Hawaii! :) read more

I ordered, 4 cups of coffee 2-small 1-medium and 1-large. 1 waffle with strawberries, banana and Nutella for $13. The waffle was delicious. The only problem was the coffee was completely watered down , maybe because in from California and we drink coffee very strong. The grand total for 4 cups of coffee and 1 waffle was $39 and the coffee should have tasted better. read more
This little juice bar is on one of the main streets in waikiki and was the PERFECT midday refreshment. The acai bowl was thick and creamy and so delicious!! The fruit on top was sweet and it had the perfect granola to acai ratio in my opinion. It is located in such a convenient little nook with lots of shade, making it a great place to cool down and eat some acai. Would definitely revisit! read more
This is a cool little food truck spot to get a sweet treat to cool down. Workers make whatever you order pretty fast. I ordered the mini Kai cup, which was a good size to share for two people. This is shaved ice with three delicious topping flavors of : pineapple, strawberry and mango. You can tell they use fresh real fruit pieces in this also. Good Hawaiian shaved ice ! read more

My fault for choosing poor item Dole whip: this is my first and only time trying dole whip, never again. Its basically a soft serve ice cream. And thats fine if you like that. I chose pineapple flavor and it was just too sweet. Bordering the sweetness of sherbert. Extra Im sure I wouldve liked their other items, but dole whip was not it Tables were also all full so I had to stand and eat Dole whip melt very quickly so I had to eat fast Experience was 3/5 but Im sure ratings wouldve been higher if I chose a different item so 4/5 read more

First time trying this place and I have to say that it's the best I've had thus far. I have tried many açai fruit bowls along Waikiki and KAI FRESH is the best! Everything about the bowl is perfect and they have many other options to choose from, but I stick with this one! The fruit is fresh And everything about this is refreshing and satisfying! Kat makes the best of everything at this location so you must put this on your list of places to stop by while visiting Waikiki! read more

Not the best shaved ice spot in Waikiki. Stopped here for some fresh shaved ice, but it was just a block of ice... literally had to chunk away at it for about 20 minutes before giving up. Syrup and condensed milk were ok. It's too bad the ice was not the best because the mochi, mangoes, and bubbles were awesome! read more

Absolutely delicious! I've been eyeing this place since coming to the island and I'm glad that I finally gave it a shot. I decided to get the PB bowl and add nutella on top. There was a line but service was really quick. What a great way to start my morning! read more
This place is for those looking for a quick and healthy bite. The menu features a variety of fresh juices, smoothies, acai bowls, and shaved ice, which are perfect for a refreshing pick-me-up. The ingredients seem fresh, and the flavors are pleasant, although not particularly outstanding. Came here only for the shaved ice. Price was decent but the ice didn't melt like other places I've been to.... It's ok. The service is friendly. Not a lot of tables since you order outside and few of tables were dirty. read more
