Lol I forgot to take a picture of my açaí bowl before i demolished it so here is the one that my friend took of hers. That is because it look so appetizing and it was amazing. Made with fresh fruits and ingredients, it was delicious. I was done with my bowl before i even noticed it. I have been trying to hit up every açaí bowl place i come across on the island before i go back to the mainland. And you cannot go wrong with any açaí bowl place in Hawaii.There is parking behind the store but you can miss it if you don't see the entrance. We passed it a few times looking for parking. The service was great as the lady behind the counter was super friendly. I ordered the small premium açaí bowl and asked to swap the blueberries with extra bananas and/or strawberries and she did :) The shop was clean and there are a few tables for you to sit down and enjoy your açaí bowls. Another hidden gem on the North shore. 10/10

I visited Tropical Tribe in Haleiwa and got two bowls, both with the Tropical Tribe base--one with premium toppings and one with tropical toppings. Honestly, they were nothing special, and the bowls kind of made my stomach hurt. On the bright side, the people working were super nice, and the seating area was pleasant with a decent amount of space. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to expectations.

Tropical Tribe has quickly become a must-visit spot for me whenever I'm in Haleiwa, Hawaii. Nestled at the entrance of town, this quaint little coffeehouse is easy to miss if you're not on the lookout, but it's well worth the attention.From the moment you step inside, the welcoming atmosphere sets the tone for a relaxing break. The service here is consistently great, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. The coffee, my main draw, is truly awesome--rich, aromatic, and perfectly brewed every time.What really elevates the experience at Tropical Tribe is the ambiance. It's a cozy, air-conditioned haven where you can comfortably sit and watch the world go by. Observing the bustling street life of Haleiwa from the peaceful interior offers a unique contrast that adds to the charm of this little gem. Whether you're a local or just passing through, a stop at Tropical Tribe is a delightful addition to any Haleiwa visit.

Had the Brazilian cheese bread, which was small & not cheesey enough. Iced coffee was ok. Indoor seating.

We went to HI Pie next door but my daughter wanted an acai bowl. Some of the best tasting pure acai. It almost has a floral taste to the acai. The add ons are tasty as well but really impressed with just the acai. Only thing if they can add an add on of poi/paiai.

Since the early 2000's, acai bowls have grown in popularity, especially since they're considered a super food filled with anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, and healthy fats; and they're Instagrammable with their colorful fruits. They were popularized by surfers in CA and HI who sought tasty and refreshing treats after demanding and exhausting mornings of surfing.Owner Andre Alves de Moraes started Tropical Tribe with a food truck on Kapiolani Blvd. in 2012 and a year later, opened a successful brick and mortar store in Discovery Bay, Waikiki. His authentic acai bowls and smoothies have become so popular that he has opened a 2nd location in Haleiwa at the end of June 2021, and a 3rd location in the Outrigger Hotel on Kalia Rd. in Waikiki on 9/24/21.Why are the acai bowls so popular here? Andre is a native of Brazil and imports top grade acai berries from Brazil. How authentic can you be! Tropical Tribe is named after Brazilian tribes who harvest the super acai berries. The acai bowls are made by blending acai and guarana berry juice, which is also imported from Brazil and is a more potent caffeine source than coffee. They also partner with local farmers in using locally grown bananas, cacao, and honey.Acai juice is low in sugar, and known for its health benefits in addressing arthritis, weight loss, high cholesterol, skin appearance, erectile dysfunction, detoxification, and general health. Gurana juice also has therapeutic benefits in reducing fatigue, boosting energy, helping with weight loss, and assisting with memory.Tropical Tribe's signature items are its acai bowls, depending on various fruits; various smoothies; hot and iced coffee; expresso; mocha; teas; and hot chocolate. They also sell clothing (dresses, tank tops, t-shirts); porcelain mugs; and hats.We had the following:· Acai bowl. It had guarana juice, granola, toasted almonds, honey, sliced bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. This was so delicious, refreshing, creamy, not too sweet nor too tart, and just perfect! The acai reminded me of a pomegranate and raspberry blend. The fresh fruits were really fresh, as there were no blemishes, and the blueberries were slightly crisp. While I'm not really an acai bowl fan, this one particularly has made me change my mind, as I honestly really enjoyed it! You choose your blend and various toppings, some at additional costs.· Pao queijo. These small gluten-free cheese bread balls, made with Brazilian root (Yucca flour), are a popular snack and breakfast food in Brazil. They were warmed when they were served, and the cheese just melts in your mouth. Very rich in cheese, these balls had a lot of flavor and so delicious!· Freshly brewed Kona coffee. This blend had a great aroma and was deliciously mellow! Served temperature hot, it was not bitter and was perfect!Servers Stephanie and Angelo were both so friendly and accommodating, as they explained their healthy menu offerings and provided suggestions. As we chose to eat our items there, it was a pleasant ambiance, with both asking if everything was okay. (Sorry to miss owner Andre who was in Brazil.)COVID requirements in place: required masks, hand sanitizer available on the counter, social distancing.The shop interior is clean, spacious, bright, whimsical, and has a warm ambiance. Nice, colorful wall paintings, artificial lavender plants, and a unique "LOVE" art made from magazine pages rolled into tubes. There were three tables with four seats each, as well as benches inside and outside the shop.Hours of operation are 9a to 6p daily. Free parking available in the back lot or in front. Tropical Tribe is located next to Mana + Pua. Credit cards accepted.So grateful for Tropical Tribe for introducing to us the flavorful and authentic Brazilian acai bowls and cheese bread, as we would never have known to step out of our comfort zone to try them. We look forward to returning to try other flavors of their Brazilian acai bowls, as well as their smoothies, knowing that their menu offerings are the real thing!

The best acai bowl on north shore. Cannot beat how quick these guys are and how NICE and HAPPY they all are. I never feel like I'mbothering anyone when I'm in there, and the bowls are good and reasonably priced ($13-14 for a lot more acai than you'll get at Haleiwa bowls or Banzai). Please try these guys out, you won't be disappointed!!

Absolutely the BEST açaí! It never disappoints. I usually call in to place an order because I have 2 young children and a puppy, I go in real fast to get the bowls and we head to the park to eat. It's always fantastic quality, and very flavorful. The reward points are always great too!
