    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Amazing! If you're craving açaí, this won't fail you. Right next to the beach so you can sit in the sand and enjoy.

    Wow just wow! My açaí bowl was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness with a touch of honey. You can tell that the açaí base and fruit were fresh. Best açaí bowl I had this week!

    Large Tropical with peanut butter and pineapple added
    Khristine T.

    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!

    Sunset toppings on the açaí bowl with added peanut butter
    Tiffany W.

    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!

    Regular Hawaiian Bowl - with Premium topping + goji berries
    Erin K.

    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.

    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.

    Bulletproof Coffee
    Kanya D.

    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.

    Hands down the best acai bowl I've ever had in my life. I got the Brazilian base acai with the…read morepremium topping (no extra charge) which includes fresh strawberries, banana, blueberries, granola, and honey. The acai is so thick and flavorful, the granola has the perfect crispy texture, and the HONEY - incredible; simply out of this world. This place has literally ruined all future acai bowls for me. I came twice. The first time I got the regular size (16 oz) and the ratio of acai to toppings/granola was perfect. I got the large (24 oz) during my second visit and felt the ratio was off with not enough toppings/granola for the amount of acai in the large. If you want a well balanced bowl I recommend going with the regular size. Not much seating available, more of a grab and go type of place. Both times I took my acai bowl to enjoy by the beach :) can't think of a better way to start the day on this beautiful island.

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.

It is also the best thing I have had on my one-week trip to Hawaii. Let me start by saying I visited this place two years ago and made it my mission to come back. Since my group of nine decided to book a trip to Hawaii, this was the first thing I added to the itinerary. And again, it did not disappoint. The service is top tier. The busser saw our large group come in and asked if we wanted to sit at a table we were eyeing, then cleaned it off for us and added extra seating so all of us could fit. The cashier was also very nice, and once your order is ready, the workers explain the toppings bar so you can dress your açaí bowl however you want (coconut flakes, granola, honey, chia seeds, etc.). I got the regular açaí bowl, and again, it is the best açaí bowl I have ever had. The açaí is thick and very rich, and you can tell the blend is real açaí and the berries on top are fresh. The topping bar is a great touch because you can customize it to your liking. It is sweet but not overly sweet or artificial tasting. It also takes a long time to melt, so you can take your time eating it. We also got a couple waffles on the side, and those were good too.

The juices here are really amazing, which says a lot for my partner and me as we typically turn our noses down on them because they taste too healthy and disgusting for us lol. Not this place though.

Can't believe how healthy and how much vegetables are in it--yet, it doesn't taste "awful" as other green juices I've tried at other places. - Likelike - amazing beet juice. It's a bit sweeter than the other juices, thanks to the beet. - Macadamia latte (hot with oat milk) - oops, I accidentally ordered it with oat milk instead of macadamia milk. By the time I realized my error, it was too late and the drink was in my hand already. Thus, the macadamia flavor wasn't very strong, but it wasn't bad either. - Mahana latte (iced) - great and refreshing, but not as complex as I expected based on the many ingredients listed for this drink. I think the espresso flavor was very strong and cut right through all other ingredients. Some people may delight in that, while others maybe less so. - Basil pesto toast - simple but good and filling. Comes in two pieces, which makes it easy to share with another person.
