I love that the color of the cafe is açaí colored. I love the plants and how the wind just flows in so nicely. Now on the topic of the açaí bowl itself, it was amazing. I had the blueberry, banana, & strawberry one and I added peanut butter agave, honey, & pineapples and it was one of the best açaís i’ve had on island. Don’t let its location fool ya.

The best açaí in the Oahu island. The avocado layers is the best for me are you need to try it.

Really good and great price! We’re so excited to have a healthy and fulfilling option to have on our way back home to NS from town. And the staff is super nice!

We love to eat outside and if we’re in a rush we can just order ahead for an easy to go option.

We were pretty excited to be able to try out this Acai place since it's close to home.
Regarding the actual bowls itself they were pretty good. They were a little bit pricey imo but good nonetheless. I ended up getting the tropical with peanut butter and cacao nibs with honey. It was about 14 or 15 dollars. I believe personally that the bowl could be fairly priced a few dollars cheaper but ... Oh well.

I think what really got us was we decided to try the empanada and also the cheese balls.

Well I'm not really sure what kind of cheese balls the cheese balls were made out of but it sure as heck tasted like mochi. It was definitely not warm and super small. You get three little tiny balls and unfortunately it cost almost $4 to get them. Yes my bad unfortunately.

But the kicker was the cold empanada filled with ham and cheese. One would think that it would be warm and served but it tasted bland cold and no ham for over $4... Such a disappointment!!!!

I'm not really sure what is up with these pastries or whatever it is that they want to call it but definitely whatever you do stick to the bowls or the smoothies at this place.

The menu is completely new, all açaí bowls are blended with other fruits so it’s not pure açaí like it used to be anymore.
I was really disappointed because this used to be the best açaí on the whole island but I can’t recommend it anymore.
You can have higher quality açaí at tropical tribe, crispy grinds or nalu, they all have multiple locations throughout the island.

Vegetarian options: Açaí and pão de queijo

Tbh, I'm really bummed that this place changed! It's now called Acai Republic, which looks like a chain based out of the mainland, and it's just not as good as it used to be. What I loved about Maluwai was the Acai base. It didn't have all of the other fruits & things blended into it. It was just the Acai & Guarana berry. It was so good & unique! Now this kind of just tastes like any ordinary bowl you could get here or on the mainland. Hope they can somehow bring back the original base!
