    I think this is probably the best açaí place in all of Kona! You get the best deal with the portions they serve. I live in Kona and I would say this is a must while you’re in Hawaii.

    Customer service 9/10 Value for money 10/10 Quality of experience 8/10 The large acai bowl is honest. It is large. It is the largest large acai bowl I have ever seen. If you are used to ordering large at other acai bowl to get a normal bowl size. Think again here. You are getting two bowls stacked. The quality of the sides and toppings are terrific as well... But the acai blend... It could use some serious work. The taste is not balanced well, much towards too sour and too mushy. You will want to blend in more iced banana or more acai powder. The place is very cool and has a terrific view. The staff came off friendly but busy.

    FAST service, great food and great views on the 2nd floor. The Banyan bowl was great and even the small was filing! Would come back but leaving tonight. Try it out if you're in the area

    The acai bowls here are fantastic. The pricing is fair for how much you get — the large is HUGE! The toppings are really well-distributed too and everything is high quality and tastes great. I recommend the Brazilian! On top of that, the staff are all really friendly, polite, and helpful. A perfect quick breakfast spot!

    They have 5 or 6 different Acai Bowls in two different sizes and you only get iced coffee here. The bowls were good.

    Delicious Acai, awesome views, good music, and an overall great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

    One of the best places to get açai bowls. True Açai is slightly tart and subtly sweet. It's not a jam or sweet blend, unless mixed with other fruit. The bowls here are not very sweet for that reason: you get an actual Açai pulp. The bowls go fabulously with a cold brew that amplifies the flavors and taste. Highly recommend!

    The açaí was good, didn’t impress me too much but if you’re in a rush and can’t eat at the place, this is the perfect option. They don’t have too much space to eat there.. so be aware of this.

  • 5/5 Traci S. 9 months ago on Google
    Really good acai in a plastic cup chock full of fruit, nuts, cocoa nibs and granola. We shared since it was so large. $18 for 16oz which was a better value for sharing since the 8oz small ones were $12. Very casual atmosphere with lots of small birds and geckos to keep us company in the loft seating area. Great views of the water and sunset would be a bonus from there. Fast and friendly service. Lots of easy accessible open parking at 11am too!

    This place was right by our resort which made it super convenient to walk to. There was usually a line up the stairs right at opening but it moved quite quickly. Small was a perfect size for breakfast.

  • 5/5 Rongrong C. 11 months ago on Google
    Very small acai store on the second floor, so delicious!

  • 4/5 Casie K. 1 year ago on Google
    Good açaí, but limited options! There are many other places around Kona you could go to if you want more selection.

  • 5/5 Steven S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to stop by for an Acai! Noticed that the name on the shopfront differs slightly as Acai co Hawai'i. Acai was awesome and cold and the view out the second floor was very calming.

  • 4/5 Lou B. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect after walking around in the sweltering heat, but it’s up to chance whether you’ll be able to secure a seat. It’s a small venue. We got two regular Açai bowls (Banyan and Puna) and they were more than enough for both of us!

  • 5/5 Paulo P. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing açaí bowl! They only have the $3 option for water 🤷🏻‍♂️still a good place to hit when you are hungry.

  • 5/5 Yirui Arlene Z. 1 year ago on Google
    A specialid place for acai bowls. A few options with different choices of fruits on top. The islander acai bowl was fine and classic. The acai base was more sour than sweet. Fresh fruits and a lot of cereals added. If you really like the acai base, the large cup is a good deal as it has much more portion of the base.

  • 5/5 Giulio Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious acai bowls with Fresh fruit. Super fast serving. Scenic point to have a lovely breakfast. A bit pricey but servings were giant! We shared one large bowl for breakfast (2 people).

    If you like granola, come here. I ordered a large açaí bowl with fruit and granola “topping”. The fruit was pretty scarce, but the entire $19 cup of açaí had a thick core of granola through the whole container. There was perhaps two cups of granola in the middle and a deceptive bit of açaí around the edges to give the appearance of more açaí. Go to the grocery store and get a box of granola for a lot less.

    Such fast service, delicious bowls, amazing produce. The perfect little breakfast and start to our day driving around the island! We got the Kilauea and Puna bowls.

  • 5/5 Charlie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Super tasty açaí bowl! The base is blended with strawberry, makes it sour and lightly sweet. Super good!

  • 4/5 Aiyshwariya P. 1 year ago on Google
    We tried the puna and forager and they were both good. Limited (4) outdoor seating which is beach facing. A bit pricey given the portions compared to a few other acai bowl places. There's a small parking lot available.
