I thought I knew what an açaí bowl was... then I came to ʻIwacaʻi. This place completely changed the game for me. The bowl was incredibly fresh, cool, refreshing, and packed with flavor in every bite. You can tell every ingredient is thoughtfully chosen and combined with intention. All natural, healthy, and something that actually leaves you feeling good after eating it. Renato, the owner, is a genuinely kind and welcoming guy, and meeting his son showed that the good energy runs in the family. Great people, great vibes, and an unforgettable treat. Now I'm thousands of miles away still craving it. That should tell you everything. If you're in town, this is an absolute must-have. read more

Tasty, fresh pitstop on the way to Princeville. Owner was kind and very clear on wait time. They're working hard in that lil' shack to make some of the freshest açaí flavors you'll ever have. Update: this was our favorite acai bowl during our trip. We tried about 2-3 other ones, but Iwaca'i wins the "best of trip" award! read more

Pure açaí goodness!! They use locally sourced açaí as well as açaí sourced from California. It was one of the best acai bowls on the island and definitely worth a try! We got the Monkey Business except without the powder cream (whey protein) and milk chocolate chips since I'm lactose intolerant. The fruit toppings were very fresh and flavorful, and they did not skimp on the peanut butter. The guy working (owner?) was also super friendly and informative. It is located in a small lot with other food trucks, like Shakalafel which is also worth a visit. There was plenty of patio seating available outside. Street parking may be limited and hard to find. I would definitely go back to try their other menu options read more

This was a cool experience! Was getting açaí everyday and this was the pick of the day. Brazilian açaí was yummy and has mousse inside. We got the kid size because we also got another one of his Brazilian specials, the passion fruit parfait. So yummy!!! The guy who ran the truck was so friendly and so well versed in names and people. Super transparent and gave kind suggestions to others. Loved the vibes! read more

This guy makes literally the most legendary açaí on the island. I cannot get enough. We keep coming back for more. He puts so much time and attention to making the perfect bowl and bite. The açaí bowl and team scream 5 stars in presentation, taste and hospitality. 10/10 experience. read more

This is one of the best acai bowls I have ever had! Incredibly unique and the owner is insanely friendly to the point where he even helped me with the bus stop locations. He took the time to explain to me the difference between their Brazilian acai and traditional acai that I normally see, which comes from different preparation methods and the acai isn't sweetened. I tried their Sunkissed Lilikoi and it was delicious! The fruit was fresh and there was a perfect amount of all the flavors together, with nothing being overly sweet even with the honey. I loved the bit of cream powder they add to the bottom of the bowl as well. The owner told me it's to give a little something to the bottom of the bowl since most of the ingredients are on top and it did just that! I'm sad that I only tried this on my last day because I definitely would've come back for more! read more

This was SO good -- I had to come back the next day for it before I left for home. Renato is such a sweet guy which made the experience, lovely. You can tell they put heart into their product. The bowl was so fresh and had delicious toppings. I couldn't decide between the mango and the passionfruit so he made something special for me! The food truck area is nice and well kept. Cute cat hangs around here too! Thank you, I'll be back every time I'm on this island :-) read more

Super delicious açaí bowls! I got the keiki size and really liked that they didn't try to upsell me with the full size. The base wasn't too sweet at all and the lilikoi mousse was to die for. I can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu! read more

Hands down, the BEST acai bowl I have ever had! I'm from California so acai bowls are everywhere and I THOUGHT I had experienced so pretty good ones before. I was pleasantly mistaken. I got the Sunkissed Lilikoi Bowl and I haven't stopped talking about it to anyone that will listen. The passionfruit mousse on top was out of this world and unlike anything I've ever tasted. So sad I was only able to go once. Also the owner and his son were so lovely and friendly. read more

Stumbled upon this gem while shopping and grabbing some snacks. My youngest has a new love for Acai bowls so of course when she seen this place she had to have one. We went up to the little trailer and was greeted by a young gentleman, I'm guessing the owners son. He was very polite and professional. We ordered the monkey business and while it was quite pricey, it was big in size and the quality was great. She enjoyed every bite and even let her older sister get in there. Super cute place, we'd definitely go again when in the area! read more

We really enjoyed the acai bowls here, so much that we went back a second time in the same week. They definitely have a different twist than what you can find on other areas of the island. The avocado was so good but we also enjoyed the lilikoi. The little cookies they put on top is such a cute touch! The guy running this place was super nice and helpful when trying to figure out what to order. read more

Excellent beachfront açaí stand featuring generous bowls and friendly staff! Would highly recommend anyone in the area grab a refreshing treat and go take a few steps to enjoy it beachside. 10/10 food, service, and location. read more

Actually just had a random craving come up today & decided to follow through. This was my first time making a purchase & it did NOT disappoint! The owner was super friendly & accommodating; I told him jokingly that this was a belated birthday treat - my birthday was May 1st - & decided to stop by, since I didn't actually have anything for my birthday treat-wise. Full transparency... I can't remember the last time I've had an açaí bowl, but this was very unique & I loved the creamy topping, with the branded cookie on top! If you're wondering where exactly this place is, it's in the little food truck enclave that also houses Anatta's Thai & Shakalafel. The flow of foot traffic wasn't too heavy for a first Saturday after 5pm either. Very chill & quiet, which I like. I'll definitely be back to try the other flavors! read more

They are so nice to each customer, and the açaí hits the spot every single time! It's visibly gorgeous and tastes oh so very very good!!

The avocado mousse was delicious. Highly recommended! The açaí was fresh and the fruit fresh

Hands down, the best Açaí bowl ever. The attention to detail in every bite shines through. FYI- I am very picky with my açaí bowls and eat them almost daily. This was, by far, the best açaí bowl i've had in Hawaii and even topped the bowls I've had in Brazil. Try the Lilikoi with added peanut butter crumbs. Delicious! read more
