not my favorite. I’ve given them a few tries and my bowls always come out liquidy. I might as well have ordered a smoothie. strawberries are mushy like they have been sitting in a fridge too long. there are better places.

This place is my favorite for smoothies and smoothie bowls. It’s so fresh and I love watching the staff make it. There’s so many options and the colors are so vibrant from the ingredients. I usually order The Babe and the fruit loops matcha. Staff is very nice here. Restroom is clean. Outdoor seating has swings. Only tough aspect is the parking.
Parking: Small parking lot behind the shop. Apparently you can park in the lot next to the shop also.

We used to frequent Mamaka a lot when it first came out. It was a great acai bowl reminiscent of what you would get on vacation. Unfortunately, the quality has declined a lot. The atmosphere has a charm to it, very "I just came from yoga or spin class vibe." On a nice day, you can eat on the patio and have a pleasant meal. That's if you can find a spot to park. It also doesn't help when you hear the staff having to yell names and orders over the sound of intense whirring and crunching from the blenders and music. As far as quality of the bowls, it's hit or miss. The factors depend on who is making the bowl. Also, if you order more than one of the same item, don't expect them to come out at the same time and don't expect them to look or taste the same. Different people make each item so quality will vary based on who is making it. We've ordered two mamaka bowls on several occasions for them to come out at different times with different colors. As far as service... well the staff are lovely people, but the app no longer works. I once ordered from home went in at the expected time, no order ready, waited an additional 20 minutes and realized they never received my order. Okay I can't wait anymore, no worries, my bad. I tried again another day. This time I did NOT order through their website, I ordered through the Toast app and I received a confirmation email, order placed 8:10, order ready at 8:40. Great! I arrive at 8:45, they never received it. Okay they said they'll make my order now. I wait until 9:20, still not ready. I can't wait anymore, I wouldn't want it anyway, it wouldn't taste good after that type of service, so I leave with no food in hand. It shouldn't take over an hour for an acai bowl. My personal opinion, go try them out if you have time. Most of the time, the food is decent. Do NOT order online, it's not reliable. Order in-person and wear earplugs. The decibels in the shop can definitely damage your hearing. For the owners, maybe fix the website since you know it's an issue and give your staff some hearing protection.

Pretty solid acai place. The outdoor patio is really nice to hangout in and eat your bowls.
The serving size is pretty nice and I think the ingredients were very high quality
Would go again

Very welcoming staff and the Mamaka bowl was great! I will definitely be back!
I drive out of my way to this place because I love the bowls here. However, my recent experiences have been disappointing.

Visiting from NY, my first time here. Ordered the Maui Sunrise. Their View Menu has images of abundant size fruit slices on top of the bowls so I was a little disappointed my Maui Sunrise didn’t look the same.
