After hiking Crouching Lion and fishing for no fish, I was very much craving something sweet… like shave ice. Or an acai bowl! We followed Unilocal directions to a food truck that supposedly sold those things, but unfortunately that food truck was not there! An acai bowl ad on the side of the building caught my eye, so we parked and went to go check it out. We were warmly greeted by a man who proposed fresh smoothies or shave ice. I inquired about acai and pointed to the pictured ad, but he told me they would start selling acai and pitaya next week… FALSEADVERTISEMENT! But daijobu, I got a large shave ice. And it was bomb. So bomb I wanted to give 5 stars, but my acai bowl disappointment curbed my rating to a 4. The gentleman serving us was so friendly. After finishing my sweet cravings on the bed of my boyfriend’s truck, I walked back to the concession stand to ask the name of the venue. I wanted to write a review because the shave ice quality was worth the effort. «Excuse me… what is the name of this place?» I asked the man. «Coconut Holes. Come back and visit us again next time you drive by!» «Coconut Holes?» I asked with a puzzled look. «Ohno, Coconut Bowls!» «Coconut Bowls?» «Yup, Coconut Bowls.» «Ohh okay we’ll definitely come back if we’re ever in the area. Thanks!» I returned to the truck and told my boyfriend that the man working was so friendly and that I had to write a review about the place. My boyfriend told me that we were speaking apples and oranges. I was talking about the place being new and he was talking about the new acai and pitaya products. Ah it’s okay, I still wanted to write a review about my shave ice from Coconut Bowls. As we exited the parking lot area there was a sign that read, «Coconut Joes.» The GOOD: ~shave ice: good texture– almost comparable to Waiolas ~shave ice: small– $ 4 large– $ 5 ~friendly service ~free, easy parking ~conveniently located for your northeast adventures The Ehh: ~false advertisement: was told acai and pitaya bowls coming next week
