What I liked about the berry boost bowl is that goji berries brought a crunch and really made up for the granola that wasn't in there. Having chia pudding is way less calories than granola too! 6-7 is "happy hour" so you get $2 off signature bowls. It was great. That store is cute and simple. You can also play board games if you're hanging out. Love that they welcome that

Abundant variety available! Located in Ka Makana Ali'i on the Gen Korean / Papa John Pizza side…read more Small interior that has about four to five tables that can accommodate about four people each. No outdoor seating available. We went in knowing we wanted açaí bowls. They offer signature bowls for those who don't like having to decide on bases, toppings, drizzles, etc. Signature bowls come in two sizes: regular (16oz.) $13.99 and large (24 oz.) $15.99. Whatever bowls give you the freedom to decide on base - bonus base - fresh fruit - super foods - drizzle. These are priced the same but you decide what you do and do not want, which is nice. Mind you, they also offer: toasts, smoothies and drinks such as lemonade, iced blended coffee, matcha, and cold brews. Açaí bowl was a generous portion of base / bonus base / fruit. I appreciate how they chop their fruit into bite size pieces. Idk what it is but I like my fruit in my bowl to be bite size like small easy to eat and chew. Maybe it has to do with base/topping/fruit ratios!? Fruit was fresh too, which for this price point- I'd expect and they delivered. There are many options available which again, for this price point you'd expect, so it's nice to have. The only problem was they were out of Nutella. Like, why? My daughter went a week before writing this review and she said they were out of bananas. In my opinion, banana and Nutella are not items hard to keep in stock! We would visit again. Side note, Monday - Friday 6-7pm they offer $2 off signature bowls!

I decided to try one of the local favorites (designated on the menu with cat paws) -- macadamia nut. It was a little too sweet for me, so I got my son to switch his brown sugar milk tea, which I liked better. The boba had good texture, but I would have liked it a little sweeter. My milk tea standards are pretty high, and this was decent. Better than Teapresso but not as good as Seven Leaves in So Cal. They have a little shopping area with snacks if you need something to go with your drink.

The fruits and vegetables were so colorful and beautifully displayed, it immediately gave me the vibe that this place is for people who love themselves and want to take care of their body, which is a great sign to me. I also visited during Bretman Rock's smoothie launch, and it was such a fun experience! I did wait a long time in line. I arrived at 11 AM, and by the time we got to the front it was almost 1 PM, but it was worth it just to try the smoothies and soak in the experience of being in the same building as the coconut connoisseur himself. I highly recommend giving his smoothie a try!!!

The wrap with cream cheese, bacon and fresh veggies was perfect and light. The smoothie with fresh coconut cream walls was perfect after a run on the beach. Overall, you're paying vacation prices, but the food choices are healthy for a lighter lunch or breakfast. Parking is limited to a small lot with many popular shops/businesses.

The granola is also pretty good. There is a faint fridge smell while I'm eating, but I try to overlook it because the sorbet itself is worth it. Their açaí bowl is solid too. That said, the menu is definitely overpriced, and both taste and service can be a hit or miss depending on the day. One more note: I tried the matcha with coconut milk, and it was a total miss. No matcha flavor at all and just not good.

Plenty of parking that shares wi th the Chinese restaurant next door and a dental office. The building itself shares a space with. Nail salon which I always thought interesting. There's a few seats inside and as of this year they sell a few Knick knack things and have books for kids as well as board games. This visit was rather strange though we walked in and no one was at the counter. No bell to ring. We said hello a few times and we were ready to walk out. But one of the ladies from the nail salon was sitting at the table in the corner and we asked if they were open. She alerted someone in the nail salon and she came out promptly. This time around we ordered the mango sticky rice and D2 had the lava flow. I was curious about the mango sticky rice, bc it's blowing up all over the place here at various other places so I had to give it a try. I thought it was something new. Turns out it's just like mango sago that I get on the mainland. It was good though and very satisfying. Blended fresh mango, coconut milk, and mini sago pearls. D2 wasn't sure how she felt about her lava flow though. She asked what a lava flow is supposed to be and I told her coconut and strawberry. When I saw her drink it was more yellow and possibly pineapple?! She said it definitely tasted like pineapple more-so than coconut. Oh well maybe their interpretation is different. She drank it anyway and said at least she's tried it. We've been so many times I've lost count. They have a rewards system by just typing in your phone number. We've tried so many things like li hing lemonade, passion fruit slushes, coffees with egg pudding. And everything is good.

Happy International being you day…read more.. Embracing what I love is tea and I've been fortunate to have traveled and know the various types of teas and enjoy it as it's purest ways which brings me to Teapresso Bar and this Kapolei location since I'm in the area is unique as it shares its space with nail/lash salon but is very separated and is nice that there lots of parking for a quick sip. One thing about here is you're able to customize your drink and it was the Hojicha no milk no topping and light 25% sweetness and that's it and this yummy and refreshing drink is perfect on this hot Sunday morning. The staff is okay but I do love the little trinkets and snacks they have to capture you but luckily my drink was made fast so that I had no time to browse but was sad that the heat sealer was between the graphic images so I had none to smile about as these little gesture do make a difference and hope it gets adjusted as it is part of the whole vibe. Thank you!

I saw a hazelnut latte pictured on the menu and asked if I could get it iced, but was told they only offer iced café mocha or iced Thai coffee.

It did the job, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for it. That said, it's a convenient spot if you're already shopping inside Don Don Donki.

This spot is located across from McDonald's on Leoku street. The parking situation is not stressful at all as I found a place to park immediately after turning into this center. Inside, you won't find anything spectacular. There is one table with 2-3 chairs and bar seating area. It didnt feel welcoming so I chose not to sit and enjoy my drink. I ordered the Mango smoothie with boba! I trust in my decision! The taste of the fresh fruits cannot be described and the boba was nice and soft to chew. This drink is nostalgic and brought back memories of when I was a little girl with a mango tree in her backyard. Will def be back again to try a different flavor

It tasted exactly like a virgin lava flow.
