Papaya bowl
Clara R.

goodness gracious! The papaya bowl is a must try this place always has the most amazing and friendly staff.... 5/5

Jasmine N.

Food: Yummy and fresh. Good morning start for breakfast and a nice dip in the ocean right after. Service: It was ok, they were nice. Ambiance: Small and tight. Barely any seating. Better as a grab and go. Decent lines to order.

Easy eats açaí bowls nearby several hotels. Went for a quick açaí bowl run before enjoying the rest of Waikiki beach. Not much of a line and everyone was friendly. Took a little bit for the açaí bowl to be made, but was pretty good once ready. Would come back.

Iced coffees
Gabriela L.

We got the honey & vanilla lattes. They were delicious. The honey needed some more flavor. But overall this place is good. Next to Leonard's to good to grab a donut + coffee.

Acai bowl
Monica Q.

Went to the sunrise shack during vacation and fell in love instantly. All locations you stumble upon on the island are great. Acai bowls are a must try and the service will always help you figure out what to pick! I'd recommend finding a location close to the beach so you can sit on the sand and enjoy your acai bowl! Best snack. Best acai!!

I lava you bowl
Katie L.

Got visibly sick after consuming the I lava bowl and the Mac nut bullet coffee. The strawberry smoothie bowl was not blended, so there were frozen chunks everywhere, and the Mac nut bullet coffee also had chunks of nuts throughout the drink. Wait time was quite long - I was the second order there and waited for about 15 minutes to get everything. I believe they were training new staff, so maybe this was a one-off, but this was disgusting. Recommend going down the street to island vintage.

Tropical Smoothie
Lauren D.

This smoothie and a side bowl shop is very quaint and cute and locally owned. I ordered the tropical smoothie and it was very tasty and not too sweet. Prices are on the higher side, but you can tell it's quality ingredients and fruits. The young kids working they were all super friendly and made my smoothie pretty quickly. Ambience wise, I love how they made their interior so fun and aesthetic. It really fits the sunrise vibe. One downside to this location is that they have no indoor seating and only patio seating... and they have a sign about birds stealing food, so just something to keep in mind.

One of my go-to coffee spots while I was in Waikiki. Located right off the main drag, this sort of hidden coffee counter has a great mix of breakfast foods like bagel sandos, avo toast, and pastries. Their coffee drinks are all of the classics, with me gravitating towards the iced americano, the both days I was here. A very smooth drink, that with one pump of sugar free vanilla syrup took the edge off the bitter finish of espresso. Each day I was here, the wait time was very short. Even when they were busy, the most I waited was two to three minutes. There's just small counter to sit at, but most people use it to wait for their food and/or coffee. Definitely not a place to sit and get some laptop work done. Also, why are you working? You're in f*cking Waikiki, go to the beach! Good coffee, no wait, it's a win win!

Acai options!
Crystal C.

The vibes, the yummy smoothies, the ample seating out front on the strip of Waikiki beach, what's there not to love? I also love their stickers! Their smoothies and acai bowls are filling and though you might encounter a line, it goes pretty fast that it's well worth it. There isn't seating inside (just merch and where you order, along with drinks), but there's some seating outside AND the beach is right there too, so you shouldn't have any problems! If you want something refreshing, filling, and healthy, definitely stop on by and grab yourself a smoothie or an acai bowl. I had both on my visit EACH DAY!

Place serving acai bowls with fresh fruits and smoothies. Small store with limited seatings inside and does get busy. I got the papaya bowl since I was just looking for something light and saw it was a local favorite. Came out with a hand size banana filled with fresh fruits, granola, peanut butter, and honey. Perfect all together. Loved the honey they use and papaya was sweet. Some blueberries were mushy tho. Would come back to try their acai bowls or smoothie next time.

History

So close to my hotel a lovely walk over several mornings. Absolutely LOVED the monkey bread, they don't skimp on toppings. Peanut butter, banana, honey, cacao nibs... all on a well toasted sourdough. Very yummy and satisfying. However I did not like the monkey bowl or the monkey shake at all... (I'm pretty positive I'm the minority) but the base that was used seemed to be the same and I just simply didn't like it. They do have different flavors, but not worth it to me to waste money when I KNOW the monkey toast is fantastic so I'll stick with that whenever I get lucky enough to return.

Carmel latte & açaí bowl
Julianna H.

Loved this place! My açaí bowl was so yummy, but it was the service and vibe that I felt was so genuinely sunny. I even got a shirt there because it was such a positive place.

Ube bowl. Melted and missing toppings.
Timothy T.

Not sure what's going on with this place lately, but it's definitely gone downhill. I'm honestly surprised it's still so popular given all the recent negative reviews--unfortunately, I had a very similar experience. We placed an online order that was supposed to be ready in 20 minutes. I showed up 30 minutes later, only to end up waiting almost an hour because they couldn't find the order. At that point, I probably would've been better off just ordering in person. The staff seemed overwhelmed and poorly trained. When I asked about the status of my order, one of the workers said they'd check--then just disappeared and never came back with any update. Communication and customer service were basically nonexistent. When we finally got our bowls, they were overpriced, undersized, and underwhelming. The açaí was melted and had a weird texture--definitely not the smooth consistency you'd expect. On top of that, the bowls were missing toppings we paid for. Overall, this was a really disappointing experience. Poor service, long wait, and a product that didn't live up to the hype or the price. I won't be returning.

Anything gluten-free other than the granola?

Please update hours. Went around 645am (Sunday) and all lights off?

The time we went was around 10am. My suggestion would be to check their website for business hours.

Can you quickly run into this location to grab acai bowls? Trying to make a quick stop here in the morning before we go on a tour!

Yes! If you go up the ramp of the main entrance of the outrigger beach resort the Sunrise Shack will be the first shop on the left next to the escalator. Acai bowls will take 3-15 minutes depending on how busy it is.

After what felt like our millionth shaved ice in Hawaii (not that I'm complaining! LOL!), I was…read morecraving something a little different. A SMOOTHIE! We happened to stumble across Fancy Fresh Food Shop, and I figured this was the perfect opportunity to switch things up a bit. WHAT I SWALLOWED: *AVOCADO SMOOTHIE: Ohhhh, this was DELICIOUS! So creamy, smooth, and absolutely hit the spot! And can we talk about the presentation?! It came in an actual GLASS JAR. How fancy is THAT?! LOL! I loved the little touch, although we quickly realized that bringing a glass jar home in our luggage wasn't exactly practical. So sadly, our fancy little jar stayed behind at the hotel. At least the smoothie made it into my belly, and that's what really matters! The smoothie was rich, creamy, and refreshing, and honestly, a nice change from our daily shaved ice routine. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE me some Hawaiian shaved ice, but sometimes a girl needs a little variety! Would definitely stop by again when that smoothie craving hits. Fancy jar or not, that avocado smoothie was it!

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.

Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I drove past this familiar logo of HiBlend Health Bar & Cafe and had to stop by because it was in an unfamiliar location. This cafe used to be in the Samsung Plaza on Keeaumoku Street, but now it's on Kaheka Street, near Don Quijote. The address is King Street, but the entrance is on Kaheka Street. The menu is still healthy and has expanded. That's why I got the HI Burger. It was a local shortrib smashed beef patty with Jack cheese, tomato, bacon, and avocado on a brioche bun (from La Tour Bakery), topped with garlic aioli sauce... delicious! All ingredients are locally sourced (when possible)! Service was very friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and polite. Thanks for answering all of my questions! The only obstacle would be the parking. I sat inside (because it was air-conditioned) and I faced my car because I didn't feed the meter... LOL! I ate quickly because I was really hungry... and it was such a tasty, satisfying burger! Note: there are only two counter seats inside, and 12 seats outside on the sidewalk.

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.

Such a great option to go to with kids too! My son loved the mango strawberry and I enjoyed the rose lychee. Thankfully, it was not too flowery but 75% was a little sweet for me. I'll try 25-50% next time. Service is not always the friendliest but fast. We placed our own order and the staff just helped when the credit card reader wasn't working. We like the seating inside. It feels clean and bright. It always seems crowded, though, so be prepared to possibly take it to go or find seating outside.

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.
