“My açaí bowl virginity has finally been had, LOL! I've heard of them but never knew what they were exactly. I thought I was getting a bowl of yogurt with fruits and other toppings. Turns out the açaí is a South American palm tree and it's the berries that you're eating!THE BUSINESS:The Made In Hope Café is a branch of the Made In Hope non-profit organization that assists women and children that have been trafficked for sex. While I have yet to step foot inside the shop (located next to JB's Kitchen in Wailuku), a co-worker did a run for us.THE GOODS:Açaí BowlAvailable in three sizes, I got the regular size which is a medium. Aside from the blended, deep-red açaí berry, you also get granola, honey, fresh cut strawberries and fresh sliced bananas. One "basic" topping is included in which I chose graham crackers (others are caramel drizzle, coconut, chocolate chips, chocolate drizzle, fruit jellies, fruit poppings, marshmallow bits, mini or regular boba, mochi and Oreo crumble. They also have premium toppings which cost a bit more. I opted for Nutella. Other premium toppings are bee pollen, blueberries, brownie bites, chia seeds, condensed milk, mango, peanut butter powder, pineapple, sea salt cream and white chocolate chips.Because our bowls were delivered after lunch, I put mine in the fridge to eat the next day as I was full. Bad idea, more so for the Nutella which clumped up but softened after being out for an hour. The liquid base of açaí berries tasted like a traditional berry sauce, lightly sweetened by the honey. If you're wondering, the açaí is void of any crunchy seeds inside, so it's very smooth and not tart. The chocolatey Nutella and flavors from the fruits all blended well together, providing for a fresh, creamy and light breakfast.They also sell a variety of coffees, teas, other beverages, bagels and small food items.OVERALL:I'm not a huge fan of fruits but I really liked it. It was a very nice change from my hearty, unhealthy breakfasts!“
“Store was clean and had really great staff. Ordered my usual, Fruity Pebbles and an Açaí Bowl. Fruity Pebbles was sweet and good, was made to perfection. Açaí bowl was great too, except for the fact there was no spoons but was not employees’ fault. Overall, had a really great experience and would come back.“
“Probably the best poke I had while on the island!! Multiple different varieties of poke. We got the Shoyu and Hawaiian. And we also got a large (wayyy too big, get the small) shave ice with Lilikoi, Guava and Piña Colada with Pineapple Dole Whip. Freaking delicious! Great last meal before we leave!!“
“Perfect spot right before or after you arrive in Maui at the OGG airport. So many choices too in this one location but I'd just spent the last 8 hours working my way to Maui, it was hot and humid and an Açaí bowl sounded filling and refreshing! It was both. Easy ordering directions on-site for all the variations and I think I waited maybe 5 minutes for my order. I ordered a small so it's large quantities! I also ordered "da'works minus the coconut" husband ordered from a different food truck (looked to be 8-10 trucks there and on the same street just down a bit was another lot with more food trucks). YouTube had suggested these food trucks and it was a great spot so close to the airport and supporting local small businesses! It was fun to sit with others at shared tables and watch the chickens amble by.“
“I went to Paia for lunch after a surf. First visit to this place, I found it from high Google reviews. Initially, I was stoked to give it a go from the healthy menu. I chose the "Burrito Bowl" as it has delicious looking ingredients. Don't get me wrong, it was absolutely delicious! However, the portion was small for the price in my opinion. Otherwise, definitely good! I'd recommend it. The staff, as previous reviews mention, acted like they couldn't care less where they were or that they had customers not.“
“One of my favorite spots to stop in for a bite. The vibe is homey and cozy and welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious, I've had quite a few things on the menu and everything has been phenomenal, but the fried rice is my favorite. We even buy their hot sauce to take back to the mainland with us! We will be sure to visit the next time we're in Maui!! ❤️“
“Stopped here after we went to Haleakala and the food was delicious! Perfect island atmosphere and cool spots to eat inside and out! Our server was super laid back and sweet and it's a great place off the beaten path! Good for stop on the road to Hana.“
“Solid place in Wailuku. I got the Maca Shake and my husband an Açaí Bowl. The Maca shake has dates, macadamia, cocoa, banana - basically a dessert smoothie. I was debating between that and one of their milks which was a little less thick and they have a great policy that you can sample up to 2. It was super nice of her as she opened a new bottle and I'm glad I was able to try it - delicious but a bit too rich to drink the whole bottle. My husband enjoyed his bowl. Overall, the space it small but cute and they have a great window seating area with high top tables and chairs for a few people on each side.“
