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!

I love this place! One of the best go to places to get my boba and acai fix! The workers are so friendly and even helped me out when I had a large order and were just so patient with me.I understand they have only a few people working, but man were they fast.I understand the no indoor dining signs because I have seen the messes that people leave at the tables. They can't clean up after themselves so the workers have to do it for them, but it's okay because I don't mind eating in the car.Cracked a few jokes with some of the workers and it was just a friendly environment. The shop has a nice aesthetic to it and they even sell things from other vendors so theres a variety of things to buy!The specials boards are so cute and whoever does those have amazing handwriting. I love how easy the menus are to read and if I am ever confused, I always ask and they are ready to help.THE DRINKS AND ACAI ARE SO DELICIOUS!!! Perfect on a hot, sunny day.Honestly one of my favorite places to get boba and acai for sure. 10/10, maybe even more than that. Maybe a 100000/10 because it is just so good.Kid-friendliness: My kids love this store. They think it is so cool and love seeing all the drawings on the boards.

Great tasting açaí and milk tea and boba. No aloha, very unfriendly. You can find other good boba and açaí elsewhere without dealing with rude cranky staff. Too bad. Could be great

The drinks are good, however the customer service is terrible. Staff is rude and Auntie behind the counter has such a sour face and attitude. The restrooms are no longer for paying customer use and they still follow Covid-19 protocols. No longer can you sit and enjoy your drinks with great company. So sad.
Staff was friendly but cold brew and was really bad :/ did not even taste like coffee..

Worst acai bowl I've experienced.The acai was hard as if they just keep it in the freezer until you order it.

TONS of flavor and boba/topping options! The wait time was pretty quick, and unlike other reviewers, I didn’t have any problems with staff at all? You can get multiple flavors of milk tea, and it tastes DELICIOUS. Definitely check this awesome place out.
