The açaí bowl was good but the girl working on 12/8/24 at 4:00 was so rude. I walk in and she seems irritated that I walked in and she takes my order and I’m waiting for it and then I hear her in the back with her co worker talking about “she walks in the last hour….bla bla..that’s what she gets” and gives me bowl and being so rude. I didn’t know I’m not allowed to order food an hour before a place closes my bad😂😂.

Best shave ice in Kona. Every order gets ice cream with boba, fresh fruit, and fruity gummies. So delicious and refreshing

Fun crowd. Bartender waiting on you was definitely on Hawaiian time. Needed more staff considering it was weekend night. Tables dirty.
But liked upbeat atmosphere.

Best Acai bowl on this island and we are quite expert about this dish.

Extra mochi always worth it

I don't know if other reviewers value acai for the granola and fruit, or for the Acai? This Acai bowl was bland. I had a basic bowl with strawberry and banana. It's like they blended it with ice... Too much ice. I could taste the strawberry, I could taste the banana... I could barely taste the Acai. As it melted it was thin and watery. I'll grant that the portions are large and the price is mid range, but it's easy to give large portions at a reasonable price when the acai is watered down and this tasted watered down. I tried a different bowl at a different place on Alii. It was about $6 more, but it was proper Acai.

Great coffee (oat milk) and açai bowl. Perfect post-Kona-swim-course nutrition!

Here you also have the opportunity to try different types of coffee before buying them.

You can sit comfortably in the restaurant and look outside at the sea.

There are a variety of beautiful local products that are ideal as gifts to take home with you.

It was the most delicious acai bowl I had in Hawaii!
I haven't tried it a few times yet, but I highly recommend it!

I wanted to eat it one more time, but it's a shame I couldn't eat it 🥲

If you park for a while at a nearby paid parking lot, you don't have to pay extra! please refer to this :)

Parking: There is a paid parking lot, but free parking is available for a short period of time.

It's better than Barsik Asahi and better than Vintage Island Acai Bowl. It's just Hawaii's number one. I had 1 acai bowl a day. It was truly the best.
