You know, I don't normally leave reviews after only one experience because I like to give an establishment a few opportunities to prove themselves. However, I had to leave an immediate review because I had one of the most amazing customer experiences of my adult life. I thought I knew what acai bowls really were but after my Tropical Tribe experience, I am happy to say that I am now a changed man. I was fortunate enough to have been assisted by Jahaun. If you see a beautiful girl with locs, that's her. She is passionate about the product and shows with her work effort. Her communication skills are top tier. I was feeling it and was recommended the 'Ja Bowl', an off the menu specialty. If you see Jahaun, please ask for the Ja Bowl - you won't regret it! I can now say that there was a time of my life before the Ja Bowl and now the rest of my life after. 5 stars read more

Not bad, but also not standout. The açaí was good, but when compared to the other amazing spots in Hawaii, it seemed lackluster. Location is great though! It's right on the beach, so bonus points for that. There is no parking though- we ended up paying 10$ for half an hour for the only parking around read more

Tropical Tribe is hands down my favorite açaí bowl spot on the island! I ordered the Brazilian Peanut Butter bowl, and it was absolutely amazing. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the quality was top-notch, and the flavors blended perfectly without being overly sweet. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve. If you're looking for an authentic, high-quality açaí bowl, this is the place to go. I'll definitely be back every time I'm in Hawaii! read more

My favorite acai bowl in Honolulu! I used to go to the location closer to Ala Moana, but this one is much closer to the hotel I stay at now. Perfect to get and watch the sunset. It's right near the Steak Shack. These acai bowls are large and they have good ingredients I love, like been pollen! They are pretty quick and have never had to wait more than a few minutes. They also have coffee, although I've never tried it there before! Highly reccomend! read more

Absolutely loved this place! The açaí bowl was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The service was just as great friendly, welcoming staff who make you feel relaxed and taken care of. The ambience is beautiful and laid-back, especially on a Friday evening. Catching the sunset here before the fireworks made the experience extra special. Such a great spot to unwind, enjoy good food, and soak in the island vibes. Highly recommend I'll definitely be back! :) read more

Overall pretty tasty. They had a good amount of options on the menu. I will say I have had better in other spots however this spot is right off the beach and so it's a great quick grab and go. There is very limited seating so be warned but overall a great spot for an açaí bowl! read more

Tropical Tribe - Acai Bowls Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

A friend told me this was the best açaí on Oahu and I have to agree!! I love the ability to choose a premade signature bowl or to create your own. They allowed me to substitute raspberries for blueberries on my Tropical Tribe Bowl and of course I had to go with the Hawaiian base! There is some seating inside but there are also tables on the patio or you could even take your bowl to go and sit on the beach. This was the perfect treat after spending a morning surfing! read more

We wanted to try another açaí bowl this morning so we opted for Tropical Tribe. We ordered a large to share and it was tasty! While enjoying our original bowl with the premium topping we were able to enjoy the beach views as well. Definitely recommend this place if you are into açaí bowls. read more

Today was our first time trying Tropical Tribe. Based on the Yelp reviews, it seemed like a great place to get an açaí bowl. I ordered 2 bowls and a Brazilian bread because it looked soft and would be a good snack. I got one for my mom and when I ordered 1 piece, they said they only had one piece left to sell so that was great! She bagged it for me and I handed it to my mom and she bit into it and it was hard! It was definitely not fresh! I'm so bummed that they would even sell this when it's hard. I let the cashier know and she said she'll take care of it and went to the back. So I waited a bit, and when I got our bowls, we asked if we were still getting the bread, if not it's okay. She just let me know they're still making it and it may take awhile. So she started taking other peoples orders and things, and I decided to ask how long do you think itd take and she said 20 min!!! they never mentioned that at all, and she did admit that she forgot to communicate it to me. I ended up just getting a refund for the bread. Had I known it would take that long, I would also just use that to get additional toppings or something. We were trying to get in and out as well since we had the free validation for parking. read more

Açaí bowls were great and a delicious start to our morning. Got the regular size, Hawaiian style with power bowl upgrade. $14 just for my bowl. read more

Great spot for an acai bowl by the beach!! They have a few tables inside the shop but there's no A/C so you might as well just take it to go! They have two bases for the acai: tropical tribe (Brazilian style) and Hawaiian (local style). Apparently the tropical tribe is the best seller but in our opinion the Hawaiian style was better--it's sweeter. The tropical tribe was still good, we just found the flavors to be more muted. There really isn't much of the base in the small bowl, but the ratio of base to granola was pretty good and the fruit was fresh! read more

I recently stayed in Waikiki for the week and stopped by this spot for the acai bowls. Don't get me wrong the acai was tasty and would recommend it. The one thing i wanted to mention was one of the staff members (short skinny girl, with brown hair) she was extremely rude and had a very unpleasant attitude as i was ordering. There was no line of people so i was looking at the board deciding what to get and she was standing at the counter looking impatiently at me. I order a tropical (açaí) but she had put in a tropical smoothie, after paying I asked her to confirm that it was a tropical açaí because i heard her say smoothie to the coworker. She answered with a very rude tone "no you ordered a smoothie" again with a mean annoyed tone I apologetically said "I'm sorry that's not what I meant to order, I wanted a tropical açaí bowl" She again with a mean glare looked at me and stared then said "I guess I can refund you" I then proceeded to re order and said I wanted a tropical açaí she looked at me as if I was dumb, and said "what do you want" I said the tropical açaí and she harshly said raising her tone said "start from step 1!" I didn't know you had to order in steps because the time before when we had come we ordered by saying the names of the açaí bowls not by steps. I then paid for the açaí bowl and waited for my order to be done and with another annoyed mean look she handed it to me. It was truly a mistake and I wasn't mad but after the employee acted so rudely toward me, with no kindness or understanding I was in shock. We did not come back here after the terrible experience. Employee was so so rude and just unkind, I don't know if she was having a bad day and would like to give her the benefit of the doubt but after continuous rudeness...i have never experienced any employee being straight terrible to a paying costumer read more

Tropical Tribe - Valentines special - Acai Bowls Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Fresh, healthy and beautiful! Located right on the beach, this location will give you all the surfer feels. I stayed at the Hale Koa hotel right down the road and ended up walking here numerous days to get açaí bowls and occasionally coffee. The açaí bowls come in 3 sizes and I promise that even the smallest one is enough for a meal. Delightful staff members keep the shop extra tidy and have rules and procedures to ensure the line moves quickly. My repeated order consisted of the tropical tribe bowl with the pre-made sunset toppings. Eventually I started to pay extra to add peanut butter on top of the bowls which reminds me that you can also build your own bowls like many other açaí shops. Once in a while I would get the coconut vanilla latte hot which was also perfect. There are tables inside but I recommend the walking back outside to the beach because well, you're on a beach! Mahalo! read more

It took us a few searches to find the right location but we found it none the less! When you Google search this place it doesn't show up and the location in Ala Moana pointed us to them. Be ready to hunt for parking! Located near the Army Museum and right on the beach we were able to pay for parking at the museum lot a block or so away across the street. The store is located behind the Steak and Shake shop. There's dedicated seating just for Tropical Tribe guests. The windows have a view of the beach and shaded from the sun. The food size is huge! Recommend sharing. All the fruit on the Tropical bowl I ordered was fresh and sweet. The ratio of fruit to acai is well balanced. Service was friendly and patient as we had lots of questions ‍ my husband and two sons ordered the protein bowl and added some chocolate chip looking bean (some local fruit bean) and they were both thoroughly satisfied. If they have cheesy bread, make sure you give it a try and dipped with condensed milk--total game changer ‍ Now that I am back in DC, I am totally craving and missing the quality of Tropical Tribe acai bowls. So worth the trip! read more

Refreshing acai bowl! I added on goji berries to my toppings, and they did not skimp! Absolutely delicious. Service was great, and they have a free water refill station. Great location right on the beach of Waikiki. My only complaint was that the cup was filled less than halfway with acai. I'm used to other acai shops where the bowl is filled almost to the rim with acai, and the toppings are stacked on top, overflowing the bowl. Here, they fill everything up (acai and toppings) to fit inside the bowl. I cannot imagine you get much acai in the "small" size. read more

It's a small shop under a resort and you have the view of the ocean. I needed a caffeine boost and wanted to try a Hawaiian coffee shop. I order a Bulletproof coffee, it had a description of mental clarity and energy boost which I needed after a six hour flight. It only comes in hot, it had cinnamon but it's not sweet. It definitely did the job of giving me energy all day. The service was good, the cashier greeted me and made my drink. The best part is seeing the ocean with a hit of caffeine. read more

I have never tried an açaí bowl in my life because i thought it was some new age hipster type food. I was clearly wrong I am glad I was perusing YouTube videos of best places to try in Waikīkī and this place was recommended. I had the açaí bowl with berries, strawberries, and granola. It was drizzled in honey. Life changing for sure. And they also had some Brazilian pao de queijo (cheesy bread). It was great start to my morning. Will come back when I return to Oahu. read more

Enjoying eating my way through this beautiful island in Hawaii. I have to say I was thinking Ice Cream, Ice Cream, Ice Cream but after my daughter came back with this and I took one bite, I was sold. So decadent it was Reminiscent of Ice Cream. I enjoyed every bite and it was definitely satisfying enough to call it lunch. The staff was amazing, the store is welcoming bright and clean. The menu was easy to choose from and the experience was memorable. I will miss this place. read more

The best açaí bowl ever I go get açaí bowl every weekends. Friendly customer service, good variety of toppings.

When I come to visit Waikiki I get an açaí bowl multiple times during my trip. This is one of my go to spot to get that fix. This location is right on the beach. They have plenty of their own seating also there is a lot of public picnic tables along the beach read more

Gimme all the Açaí bowls!!!! I visited this location 2 times while my fiancé and I were visiting. If I had found it sooner, I would have went every day! The quality was amazing, and they really give you what you pay for. They offer so many additions that you can add, things like (gogi berries, bee pollen etc!) I had not seen those types of additional items available for adding at any other açaí bowl place I went to! The service was also great. The same girl was there both times we went, and she was super helpful and very nice! My fiancé and I were about to get the same bowl when we first were trying it and she recommended we get diff ones and try each other's (why didn't we think of that!!) haha but we got different bowls and loved them! All in all, order whatever you want and it will be LIGHTS OUT. I only had the açaí Hawaiian bowl, but it was so good I feel like the quality speaks for everything on the menu! In you're in the area, stop by!! Location, I got a little confused when I first started looking, but if you use the gps on Yelp, it takes you to this area on the beach where there are stairs in front of you kind of on your left and the beach is touching the stairs. Just walk up the stairs and then left and walk straight down the hallway looking thing (you'll pass a couple other food places as you go!) the place is on the left side! Enjoy!! read more

Wow! The mouth on the team on 11/3 @ 1pm while i was in line to order! I was so offended by the language and content of the conversation between 3 girls working. One girl in particular, had no regards for customers or people around the business. She was looking on social media calling people F'ing ho's and referring to someone else as F'ing gay. No excuse and not in the spirit of Aloha. I am a local and frequent the area and am so disappointed. read more

Açaí bowl was very good, but would benefit from yogurt & less açaí . Limited indoor seats, faces beach

Tropical Tribe - Açaí bowl - Acai Bowls Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My friend recommended that we get açaí bowls while in Hawaii and she recommended tropical tribe. We came in at around 2pm and there was no one in line What I got: - Brazilian açaí bowl (8.05): 5/5. The small is still a good serving size and for such a great price. There's a standard topping with fruits and granola for free, but you can also add on additional toppings for a price. The açaí is really good and not too sweet. I don't think you can really mess up açaí bowls though. They also don't skimp on toppings! Staff here is really friendly and orders are prepared quickly! I recommend giving this place a try if you're craving açaí bowls. TLDR: reasonably priced açaí bowls by the beach read more

One of the most authentic açaí bowls I've had on Oahu! When I first tried their açaí, I was thrown off because it didn't taste as sweet as other places I've tried in the past, but I realized that its because they're not blending other ingredients that add a lot of sweetness to the base. The açaí is a rich, deep berry color and hits the spot every time for me. It tucked away into a little plaza so it's easy to miss but once you see Banan and walk up the stairs, the shop should be on your left. It's a great location because you can grab a bowl and enjoy the sunset while walking down the ledge! Highly recommend trying this place out read more

This place is a hidden gem, really good açaí bowl, nice lattes, and friendly staff. I would recommend giving it a try and grabbing a seat by the beach under the shade, by the beach front between the outrigger and the Hilton. read more

Really good açaí bowls (but also really, no one can really mess up an açaí bowl unless you try EXTRA hard). The toppings were fresh (no spoiled or browned bananas here) and it was a great breakfast to bring to the beach. The açaí has added sugar from the juice added to the mixture, which is not the best as açaí is naturally already very sweet, but not complaining about this perfect snack on Wakiki beach. read more
