Smoothie places lately have been collaborating with famous influencers and adding skin care ingredients but this spot is keeping it simple. You pick which fruits you want or they have a few popular fruit combos on the menu. I got the reusable jar with the straw and lid, so that makes refills only $7 when you go back. That's the best smoothie deal you can get on island! The only thing is that parking can be tricky but they do have a small lot and there's street parking around.

Lots of fresh fruit when you first walk in, with a digital menu to look at, along with suggestions of people's favorite combinations. Also a section of crack seed goodies as well. There was 1 person working, so it took a little bit of time for her to work through the orders, to then take new orders. Patience is key. And there's not a lot of space to wait, when it gets busy, which may be why there's a bench directly outside. Got the strawberry guava smoothie, though it seems as if they threw the entire guava plus the seeds inside, as it was the crunchiest smoothie I've ever had. I would've much preferred that they omitted the seeds or strained them out prior to blending. Also would've liked a more thicker smoothie, as it liquified and separated rather quickly on the drive home. The honey kumquat lemon tea on the other hand was delicious. I had asked for lemon tea (no honey, no kumquat), and ended up with this. Not mad about this mishap, as it was rather refreshing and something I never knew I needed.

I think I may have found my new forever spot…read more This was my first visit, and when I arrived the ordering area was at capacity, so I was standing outside. I noticed a QR code on the door for online ordering, scanned it, grabbed an outdoor table and figured I'd give that a try. I ordered the Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich, the Apple Pecan Salad with balsamic dressing, and a large cold brew. I paid online and sat outside for maybe 15-20 minutes. I never did figure out whether I was supposed to get a notification that my order was ready, so eventually I just went inside to check. Sure enough, it was ready. Easy enough, and everyone I interacted with was incredibly kind. Then I got home and opened everything, and THAT is when I became really impressed. I had included a note with my order that I planned to eat the salad the following day and asked that the wet ingredients be kept separate. They absolutely understood the assignment. Everything was packaged so thoughtfully. The Apple Pecan Salad was beautiful, incredibly fresh and substantial, with the ingredients carefully separated so it would keep. It wasn't some obligatory pile of greens tossed into a container. You could actually see the care that went into making it. The Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich was equally good. Fresh, generously filled and absolutely delicious. I ate half the sandwich and some of the salad and was completely satisfied. Between the two, I can easily get four meals out of what I ordered, which makes the value even better. And the cold brew? Wowzer. Robust and delicious! I think what impressed me most was simply the level of care. A sandwich and a salad aren't complicated foods, but doing simple food really well takes effort. Fresh produce, good ingredients, thoughtful preparation, paying attention to a customer's request, and putting out food that looks every bit as good as it tastes. I felt that in this order. I actually tipped 15% when I ordered because I was thinking, okay, this is basically grab-and-go. After I got home and ate the food, I wished I'd tipped 20%. It genuinely felt good spending my money here. This was visit number one, and they've already set the benchmark. I really hope they stay exactly like this, because what a find. I will absolutely be back.

Sadly, I don't know what it was with the supervisors/managers that worked here but they were the ones that seemed to lack customer service skills and pleasantries while the employees under them were diligently working. I always enjoyed the juices and the freezes were hit or miss on how much of a serving you received. Some would fill the bowl up so you'd get an actual bowl worth and some just did the rim fill so that the center was hollow. Like I said it was a hit or miss. Sadly, I received an email today from the company saying that this location was closed and that certain items were available for online orders. I am sorry to see that this place closed and hope they will reopen soon in another location nearby.

Super late review -…read more I'm sad. I really wanted to love this place but I just couldn't. I don't want to be that person when this place has an overall rating of 4.5 but this is just my honest opinion. I got the blue dream and yes it was very ascetically pleasing, but it was just too icy. Before coming to this place i read a couple of reviews that also said the same thing and i didn't understand what that meant, but now I do. There are a lot of flavorless, just regular, small shards of ice in the bowl. On top of that, the moment I received my bowl, it was already borderline melted. So that got me thinking, how can it be melted and icy at the same time? The only explanation that I can think of is just ice additive/fillers. It's not pure cold acai or whatever is in the bowl you choose, but there's a mixture of ice in it too. Yes I understand, it's Waikiki, everything is more expensive, but the added topping prices on top of the already expensive bowl prices just don't make sense. You want a beautiful looking bowl with a lot of different toppings, yet some toppings can go up to 1 dollar PER topping. I don't know if I've just been spoiled by a couple places in SoCal, but at those places they have unlimited toppings and those bowls are the best that there is. I'm not bringing any bias from other locations, but this is just an honest review based on my experience today.

Like so good my husband and I would come here at least once a week My go-to order is the PB Dream Brazilian-Base Bowl with a side of their cheese bread.

The fruit is always fresh, and everything consistently tastes amazing every.single.time.

The açai itself was super refreshing and the iced mocha was pretty good too. Other than the mix up, the food was good but I recommend getting a bigger portion one because the small was not filling enough.

My favorite spot. I get the mango sticky rice dessert or the mango sticky rice drink (man-coco…read moresticky smoothie-o) . If i'm on the go the drink, if I eat there then the dessert. They will do takeout on the dessert, however it does not travel well. The ice cream melts, the frozen coconut cream thing melts and it becomes a big mess. They have an app and a loyalty program - use it and you can get some free stuff. The timing in the app isn't always right because sometimes it says ready in 20 minutes but it's in 5 and sometimes it's in like 30. I don't think they adjust the timing to reflect how busy they are inside; I wish they did. Small spot to sit down and eat there if you want and some outdoor tables. However the outdoor tables are considered takeout, so if you order desserts, it won't come on the plates, it will be boxed, and sometimes a mess when the ice cream parts melt and make the paper soggy. No bathrooms inside. They are friendly enough but they often feel like they don't really want to be there but they're cordial enough. I will keep coming back for the dessert anyway! They say they close at 9pm but they don't. The told me 8:45pm and if you come at 8:55pm they're basically shut down. Not a fan of this because if you really close at 8:45pm, then change your hours. Otherwise actually stay open til 9pm, which does mean workers have to stay later. In any case, I'm not a fan when there's this mismatch. On the other hand. The Alley says they're open til 9pm, and if you're at the door at 9pm, they'll let you in.

Mango Mango is a place we always visit whenever we're at Ala Moana. During our most recent visit,…read morewe ordered the mango pancake and Oreo mille crepe cake. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing compared to our previous experiences. The mango pancake was noticeably different from past visits. The crepe was much thicker, and the ratio of cream to mango was about 100:1--the cream completely overwhelmed the mango. I didn't try the Oreo mille crepe cake myself, but the little one said it was good. The service and cleanliness were also lacking. Our table was dirty when we were seated, and we had to specifically ask someone to come clean it. The garbage can nearby was also filled to the brim, which was not very inviting. Overall, the lack of attention to cleanliness and service made the experience less enjoyable. We've visited Mango Mango many times in the past and have generally enjoyed it, which made this visit particularly disappointing. Hopefully, the food quality, cleanliness, and service improve.
