The poke was pretty good but the staff were just so unfriendly I felt like I was insulting them by just being there. Edit: Thank you for the reply. I was there today 07/29 at 9am.

We love the acai bowls from Hina Rae's (the best I've had, hands down! Especially with ube ice cream on top!), and knew we wanted them as dessert at our wedding. I contacted Shelina (the owner), not knowing if a request for 40 acai bowls would be an insane ask, and was so humbled & thankful when she reached out saying they'd love to! Shelina took the time to gather important information that I had not thought of (including allergy concerns for us & our guests), and had phenomenal suggestions on how to keep the consistency of the bowls perfect until we were ready to have dessert (I was wanting a friend to pick them up at 3pm, but we wouldn't be having dessert until about 5:30-6pm). Her & her team knew exactly what to do for the base & toppings of the bowls to be sure the quality was still fantastic by the time we ate them, and with following her recommendations on how to store them so the base could thaw/defrost while we had our ceremony/ate dinner -- they were delicious!! Shelina was super communicative leading up to the day, and confirmed the timeline, day of contact, and quantity the day before our event to be sure we received our desserts :). Everyone at our wedding raved about acai bowls for dessert! And my now husband & I got to enjoy our favorite thing to snack on -- overall definitely a huge hit, and sooooo ono!! Mahalo Nui Shelina & everyone on the Hina Rae's team!

Found this place on our last day unfortunately! we would have ate here everyday if we would have known how good it was, some of the best food we had our entire visit here. We had the breakfast sandwich with bacon and spicy mayo, and regular waffle with the best whip cream and butter, ube latte, and peanut butter açaí bowl. You could tell the food was made with care.

attempted to scam me out of my change by ringing up the wrong bill— the only reason i got my money back was out of the kindness of one of the employee’s hearts. do not use cash here, they will try to take it from

Delicious breakfast sandwiches. We had the croissant sandwich with spam and spicy mayo and the waffle sandwich with the same combo. The meat to egg to “bread” ratio was amazing across both sandwiches. And the scrambled eggs are some of the bet we have had with soft custard-like folds. We saw some amazing looking açaí bowls coming out but were craving a hot breakfast sandwich. Service is a tad slow though very pleasant. Good food does take time…
Best food I had in Hawaii. Pork belly was insanely delicious. Ube latte was perfect as well.
