Blue Hawaii Lifestyle

Very disappointing first visit to this shop located on the upper area of Ala Moana, headed towards Target. I ordered an Outrigger Cooler Smoothie and an Ice Blended Coffee, vanilla flavor. There was only one order ahead of us and it seemed to take a long time, like they only have one blender. Not a big deal, and the shop was a pleasant and cool place to wait. They have some UH merchandise as well as some skin care products to browse.After waiting a reasonably long period for our drinks, we discovered that we received a peanut butter Ice Blended Coffee, not vanilla. My significant other went to tell them that the coffee drink was the wrong flavor, but the worker told her that the Ice Blended Coffees come with all flavors. Her being way too nice to tell him that he is wrong, returned to the table for reinforcements. Me, knowing that this could not possibly be the case, and being the one with a peanut butter aversion, had to get up and go ask that worker (young Asian gentleman) to ask the other worker (Asian female) to come out from the back. I explained the situation to her about how we ordered a vanilla coffee, but received a peanut butter coffee. She immediately told me that we received a vanilla drink. I kindly told her no, it was peanut butter. She went to check the receipt behind the counter, and asked the worker if he made a vanilla drink, and he said peanut butter. She then told me she would remake it. It seemed like the young gentleman was new, because she looked like she was telling him what ingredients to put (and not put) when making the drink. I got the remade drink, but really got the feeling like I had inconvenienced them to remake the drink. The smoothie was ok. So was the blended coffee. But neither was great and I feel like I would have been better off going to Starbucks/Jamba. I love supporting small businesses, but sadly, I will not return.

Blue Hawaii has been around for ages! After a ten year break I decided to wander over here to see if the acia bowl tasted the same. The interior is clean with several tables and it's obvious this place is known for their açaí bowls. At the counter looking up the menu is extensive with many bowls, fruit juice, smoothies and small snack offerings. The cashier and cook are friendly as they take time to explain menu options.We ordered an açaí bowl and grilled cheese. Everything is made to order so takes a little bit of time. It was over $30 for 2 items which we thought was expensive but healthy so possibly a good afternoon treat. The açaí bowl was delicious with fruit, granola utop a large serving of açaí. The bowl was refreshing and nicely sweetened. The sandwich was a bit burnt and just okay. Not sure when I will return. Good experience with and a must try.

This business keeps showing on my Yelp feed to review because I checked out their site. Save yourself the trip....this shop no longer exists in Ala Moana even if it shows up on the directory and on Google maps. I found this out during recent travels when walking to find their former spot on 1st level and another business exists. We were hoping to order their once popular acai or fruit bowl. Not sure if they relocated somewhere else on the island.

Two stars are a bit generous. I stopped by and ordered one tuna melt, and one turkey pesto sandwich, and two bags of chips. I was severely disappointed that the turkey pesto only had one slice of turkey. I was also disappointed that the tuna melt barely had any tuna spread in it and couldn't taste any tuna at all. $14ish dollars for each sandwich, I would expect at least 3 slices of turkey (minimum) and a decent amount of tuna spread. I guess I should only stick to their acai bowls since that's what everyone was eating when I visited.The customer service was lacking enthusiasm and a smile. The girl working the front seemed like she didn't want to be there and didn't have a friendly demeanor.

Food:This place has been around since I was in elementary school the locations moved in the mall but the acai is still as good as I remember it. No nonsense over toppings just a classic perfectly blended acai bowl.Price:So the price is definitely significantly higher over the years and that's my only knock on it. I also feel like the portions have gotten smaller over the years. I'm okay with paying more but please don't downsize my portions as well T-TService: You order at the counter Friendly service no issues here at all.

Ordered the Jasmine in a small and I liked how the jasmine peaked through subtly in the flavors of the açaí. A very unique and delicious twist on a classic.But the amount they gave me compared to the size of the cup and other places felt too little. The honey over sweetened the entire bowl because there wasn't enough açaí and the lack of açaí didn't justify the $15 I spent on the bowl. It was pretty disappointing for me but I do think it's worth trying especially the Jasmine (I heard the one with lime is good too) since there's no other place that makes these flavors.

I'm always in search for a great smoothie and this açaí bowl shop popped up in my search. Both of the items I ordered were made fresh to order and they were both so refreshing! Unsure of what to order, I tried the Blue Hawaii classic açaí bowl and it was delicious!! The store is not in the main food court area but a hidden gem within the mall. Very cool and modern space to sit back and enjoy their food.

Look, I truly dislike leaving negative reviews. But I feel almost obligated to let people know this is what you get when you order a full size Tuna Melt. It's basically a large grilled cheese sandwich with a mayo and tuna drizzle. Now, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty surethis is not some Boujee-line-caught-under-the-light-of-a-full moon-in-August-imported-from-France canned tuna of the Gods. In fact I'd bet it's from the 12 pack that Coscto sells in Iwilei. I realize times are hard and it's extremely difficult to stay afloat owning a business these days in Hawaii. But at least dress the poor girl up and add a small salad or maybe like, a potato chip or two on the side!My wallet hurts. And so does my stomach because I'm STILL HUNGRY.Staff was sort of nice, though. So, two stars because it's Christmas. Ho,ho, HOOOO this place is overpriced!!!

Located in the Ala Moana Center by 2nd floor Target, where Pink Box and Tiger Sugar are. I was recommended to try their acai bowls because this place seems to be the top on a lot of peoples list, and let me tell know, they were not wrong. Their acai is so smooth, fruits fresh, and something about their granola just tops it off. I understand why people come here for their acai bowls. The atmosphere is calm, lots of seating, and the time we went (1:00 pm on a Saturday) it was not busy. Great place to wind down after shopping. I also tried their matcha tea with strawberry cold foam. Nothing too outstanding but nevertheless still refreshing.

I always come here about once a month and it's simply a great place to have my açaí bowl whenever I need to cool off. The honey is just the right amount and goes hand in hand with the granola, açaí, and banana, strawberries, and blue berries. The snack itself is quite filling! :)Pair this with a warm hot coffee if you like! Will come again soon!
