Always loved the sugar cane juice for all of the health properties, specifically anti-inflammation,…read moreespecially when combined with tumeric powder...absolutely love the flavor of the combination. But recently have been introduced to the Hapa Bowl. Lord. I can't remember the last time I was so addicted to something. I ate it five days in a row. It was so perfect, especially during the summer heat and when I was so busy working that I didn't have time to buy and prepare fruits. The bowl comes with açai sorbet, and a yogurt based sorbet, which basically taste like plain Yami Yogurt. The Combination with the fresh fruits, the honey and the granola bit hemp seeds. So yum. Now I eat it in moderation; about once a month. But just another great thing from Sugah Daddeh's. I also keep his juice popsicles in the freezer on hand all the time for the family when they need something cool. Thank goodness they are so close right now. Check out at Ka Makana Alii farmer's market for their newest pop up location!

Some other very interesting and different combos to try. They got the ice ratio just right where it's like a smooth full texture but no ice you need to chew. They add a bit of condensed milk in most of their smoothies and it is perfectly sweet imo. Some might prefer a sweeter smoothie but for me this is perfect! Their prices are also amazing given it's literally a fresh fruit smoothie they wash, cut, and blend for you and the cup is a really good size too like 24 oz I think. The wait can be a bit long and sometimes they get backed up, but it is absolutely worth it. Inside is cute, clean, and air conditioned. 10/10 would recommend. Would come here every day if I could!

I've always like the location of this store with the huge parking lot & how clean & well-stocked the store is. The eating area is good sized with a pizza bar, hot soup & food bar, & salad bar. For made to order food, there's a coffee bar with baked goods, sandwiches & burgers, wok bowls, and smoothies. Lots to choose from. We came mainly to try the new promotional mac nut haupia smoothie. It comes in one size only, 16 oz and pricey at $11.99. The drink is ono but I think the toasted coconut made it too sweet. The haupia would have been enough to give the drink that coconut taste. We each ordered the black bean & beet burger - my fave! It's very tasty & a good sized sandwich with toppings of your choice, very filling. I also ordered from the salad bar, the kale & beet salad - another fave! It's the only way I'll eat kale. Over the years I've tried a lot of their food. The baked goods are even better than Starbucks, especially the banana bread & the blueberry scones. Ordering is easy from the kiosks set up in the food area. Since it's all cooked to order, not fast food so it does take a few minutes wait time. Down to Earth is a great place to get some healthy, tasty food, give them a try!

We just wanted to eat some dessert and someone had said let's go get a smoothie. So I figured why not. They got the new haupia drink and I got an açaí bowl. It was fast and they have nice seating outside. The place was big and they offer a lot. Unfortunately the price of the drinks and bowls were rather high but it seems the norm now eating out. I guess it was a splurge

Instagram prize winners!!!…read more Traci T. (fellow Elite Yelp Hawaii member) and I were so thrilled to receive a message that informed us that we had won a super prize package from Mawps Hawaii and the Pearlridge Farmers Market (@AlohaFarmLovers). We decided to meet on November 20th at 9:30am to claim our prizes. Pearlridge Farmers Market is located on the upper level parking lot on the Macy's side. I entered from Moanalua Road and easily found free parking. Traci was prepared - she had an insulated bag! I just had a plastic Trader Joe's bag - good enough! We sure needed bags because Bryan and Cassie were so generous with their fresh watermelon juice and delicious smoothies! We started off with a Wellness Shot, made with tumeric. It's supposed to be good for improving circulation and fighting cancer and depression! It was a bit challenging to drink because it had a "warming effect"... Haha! Cheers! We did it! Next, Bryan made Sky Smoothies for us. The coconut milk base, papaya, and banana helped make the kale taste better! Not bad! Cassie made our Hawaiian Spirit smoothies with Li Hing sauce walls. The orange colored wall was so beautiful next to the pale colored banana, pineapple and mango mixture as a contrast! When I got home, I drank the smaller container of watermelon juice. It was so refreshing! It tied me over to my next meal! For sure, I'll be returning and bringing my empty bottles for refills! Besides Saturday mornings at the Pearlridge Farmers Market, Mawps is open at Ohana Hale Marketplace in Honolulu (on Ward Avenue) on Mondays through Thursdays from 10am to 4pm! Thank you to Bryan and Cassie for the friendly, efficient service and healthy juices and yummy Smoothies!

It was creamy and the brown sugar tastes exactly like the Okinawan brown sugar! We got the bubble waffle and it was crispy and chewy at the same time! The dipping sauce thingy is really good and I highly recommend it. I had some leftover and actually put it on my pancake one time...that was pretty good. I'd probably buy extra the next time I go. In terms of location, they're "up town" and next to Goma Tei. Service was quick and fast and I love the shop, it's so cute. I'll be sure to visit again to try their other drinks.

Very fast service. Love the drink! Original plain bubble waffle was a great snack…read more The matcha drink with strawberry was a good size for price. The portion of strawberries to compliments the matcha was decent.

A small tea/smoothy trailer available only on Saturdays…read more I think I heard of this place through a friend. They used to by the Waiau district park,but have now been at the Pearlridge parking next to the old Sears and Zippys. There's a gathering of a couple lunch trucks and a few picnic tables under some trees in a once busy parking lot. I think it's a nice little area to grab lunch and a drink. Zoomy Tea is a bright green trailer and you can see it from the street. They are only there on Saturdays. You can follow them on Instagram or Facebook. They have fruit smoothies and milk teas. What really caught my eye was the hojicha and genmaicha. Both are green tea based. The genmaicha is a green tea with roasted rice, which has a stronger flavor and a slight bitterness, but I liked it a lot. So many boba places just taste like milk shakes minus the tea, so it was nice to actually taste the tea for once. I had the sweetness at 25 percent. Both can be just tea or milk tea and of course you can add boba. The boba adds sugar and honey in Zoomy's case. They are super friendly and accommodating. They can affect how strong the tea to be to meet your liking. Oh in case you're wondering, their straws are bio degradable, but also super durable. They are not using mini toilet paper rolls that biodegrade in your drink. Ruins the entire experience. Glad they have good straws, which would never typically be in a review, but since this ban on plastics...it's come up so many times. I was craving it today, but it's Sunday...darn it.

Cute pink trailer…read more.. That's what you're looking for to squash that sweet cravings as this cute little trailer is one in few in the Pearlridge Center former Sears parking lot that's home to a few food trucks including Halo Halo Craze. Offering treats like the classic beloved Halo Halo in many different forms though since it's the hottest time of the summer afternoon it has to be a bit more refreshing so it was the Italian Cream Soda for me and with a bunch of flavors available Guava sounded interesting and was a treat. Need to be shaken as all the syrup is on the bottom slightly shaken and stirred it was just the sip I craved. The single staff is sweet I imagine is the owner but informed of the various other flavors that may have not been listed as well. Support local and small as they do provide you with great treats to make your day that much better. Thank you!

Very affordable when compared to basically every other drink place nowadays. Got the strawberry yogurt shake. Definitely tastes like strawberry and yogurt haha. No complaints. Worker was nice and let me know that the menu is likely to change soon. The only thing I'd wish was different, was if their straws were a little longer. With the dome lid on the shake, it felt like I was nearly kissing the lid with every sip.
