    Tropical Tribe is a cute hidden gem with tasty eats! It is located on the bottom floor of a little shopping center. It can be a little tricky to find. It is an order and pick up at the counter eatery. My daughter (an açaí bowl junkie) had read the reviews and really wanted to try an açai bowl so we set out to find it. We visited on a Monday morning for breakfast. The decor is beachy and tropical . The vibe is casual and relaxed. It has a tiny indoor seating area and a few tables outside. We sat outside. We ordered a latte, an açai bowl, and a smoothie. I was bummed that my smoothie could not be customized. The base was premade so I was not able to make any adjustments to it. Our items were ready in a reasonable amount of time. The portion size was a little smaller than we expected. As for taste, the açai bowl was good. The smoothie was a little bland, but at the same time, had a tad too much honey. Service was wonderful. We would visit again.

    Tropical Tribe is a must have! My friends and I researched every açaí spot in the Waikiki Beach area and were torn whether to go for this chain or to try out something more local. We tried a couple spots and surprisingly this one was our favorite, mainly because of the portions and also because they offered two kinds of acai - Hawaiian and Brazilian. Personally, I loved the Brazilian. It had more of a nutty texture and tasted less like a smoothie. It's hard to find Brazilian acai elsewhere, so I thoroughly enjoyed it! It took about 5-10 minutes to receive our acai, which wasn't too bad. There wasn't much of a seating area though.

    I had the iced coconut lavender matcha and the Hawaiian style pineapple passion açaí bowl. A delicious and sweet meal and I would absolutely come back here for the food, good service and convenience since it's right by my hotel.

    A new friend recommended @tropicaltribehi close to our hotel, so we decided to check it out today. It was a little tricky to find it since it wasn't in the upper level. We stopped at Subway to ask and found it at the lower level. Hubby and I shared the Hawaiian style small bowl with premium topping, which had bananas, strawberries, blueberries, granola, and honey. It felt like I was eating ice cream. Just enough to share. Highly recommend!

    As smoothy and acai bowls continue to rise in popularity, Tropical Tribe stands above the rest! Definitely in Oahu (and maybe of all time). I have been coming here for about 4 years, and his consistently been the tastiest acai bowl I have ever had. The acai isn't sorbet, and isn't overly sweet. All the fruits and add-ons are always super fresh. Each bowl is crafted to perfection. Recommend the PB dream! Tropical Tribe has multiple locations around Oahu, all of them are equally as good!

    Açaí bowls make for great unique tropical breakfasts. They're healthy too. Tropical Tribe is at the edge of the beach and if you need to eat inside, there is enough room to do so or take your bowl on a walk or sit at nearby tables. I had the Pineapple Paradise Hawaiian style. All the best flavors of the islands. We'll pineapple, strawberry, blueberry, coconut, açaí, and granola. Pretty much my favorites. Pop in for a tropical morning breakfast on the beach. You won't be disappointed.

    This was a really good açaí bowl! I selected my own toppings and went with a fruity bowl. I want to go back and order more of a chocolate/peanut butter bowl. The employees working were really friendly and nice. The location is smaller inside, with just a couple seats, but there are tables and chairs outside to use!

    This is a hidden gem! So so good. I came here 2x on my trip. Their açaí is sweet and I love that they put a lot of honey on it. Easily my acai spot on the island

    I love Tropical Tribe! This spot is located in the Discovery Bay shopping center on the corner of Ala Moana Boulevard and Hobron Lane. You can attempt to find street parking or park in the Discovery Bay parking structure ($1 for ~30 minutes or free validated parking with a $20 purchase at the store). The store itself is nestled on the bottom floor of the shopping center and is relatively small, but there are several tables outside the shop to sit at. It usually gets quite busy in the morning given tourist traffic, but the wait usually isn't too bad! The menu has a variety of options, from a build-your-own acai bowl to Brazilian cheese bread. My typical go-to is a regular-sized Brazilian bowl with the tropical toppings. The staff members at the shop are super friendly, and my bowl usually comes out in 10-15 minutes (given the wait, there's usually 5 or more people ahead of your order -- otherwise it's pretty quick when the shop isn't as busy). I always love the acai, which is delicious and smooth, and the fruits are fresh with super crispy/crunchy granola. I love how their acai base doesn't come premixed like other stores, since I'm allergic to bananas and other fruits. The customizability and freshness of the bowls are hard to beat! This is currently my favorite spot for acai bowls. Love this place!

    Tasty açaí bowls! Only thing is there was too much honey that it was unbearable to eat the toppings, it was far too sweet. Otherwise just eating the base alone was tasty It didn't take too long to receive our orders. There's some tables outside of the shop for seating.

    Hidden little gem located on the lower level of an unassuming strip of retailers. Next door to McDonald's. Small shop but friendly staff and delicious acai bowls with fresh fruit. Prices are reasonable for honolulu area.

    Wow!! I would've come here three times a day every day during our stay if I could've. I had a yummy Brazilian sunset açaí bowl for a late breakfast. It was so delicious with all the fresh toppings, including goji berries, papaya, raspberries, kiwi, toasted coconut, granola, and a drizzle of honey. It was a bit of mystery when trying to find the entrance, but luckily after searching and searching I found a set of stairs to take me to the lower level where the entrance is located. The staff are super nice and friendly.

    Tropical tribe was right across the street from our hotel which was nice! I got the Brazilian style regular Acai bowl and it came out super quick. The service was so sweet and friendly. I also tried their cheese bread. The Acai was the perfect consistency and tasted so fresh. All of the fruit was cut and placed so nicely. Granola also tasted very fresh and crunchy. Looove- and much more affordable than other spots. The cheese bread was also a very fun eat. Chewy and cheesy and warm- so comforting. Should definitely stop by if you're craving Acai! They have many location in the Waikiki area. Not a lot of seating inside but you can definitely walk it back to the beach and enjoy it there!

    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.

A great high-protein, lower-carb way to start the day! The salad had a nice variety of colors, textures, and crunch from the pistachios and onions. It also came with a small cup of sweet and savory dressing that tied everything together beautifully. The smoked ahi spread was fresh, flavorful, and not overly fishy. It was served with a slice of freshly toasted garlic bread that was warm, fragrant, and perfectly crisp without being overly toasted. // Wailua Moana Açaí Bowl So refreshing! Easily one of the best açaí bowls we've had. The texture was thick and smooth with a great balance of fresh fruit, crunchy granola, and healthy fats from the nuts. Every bite was delicious. // Matcha We ordered both the regular matcha latte with coconut foam and the strawberry matcha latte. I was so disappointed they no longer offer the lilikoi matcha- I know that flavor combination would've been amazing! Hopefully they bring it back someday. The matcha itself was on the lighter side compared to richer ceremonial matchas, but it was still smooth, well-balanced, and not at all astringent. It paired really well with the oat milk, and both drinks were enjoyable. There was a line out the door during breakfast/brunch hours, which shows just how popular this place is. Despite the crowd, the service was friendly and efficient, and we were able to grab a small table to dine in. It's located on the upper level of the Royal Hawaiian Center, making it a convenient stop while shopping in Waikiki. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu (hoping the lilikoi matcha will make a comeback too)!
