Blue Hawaii Lifestyle Cafe

Yummy.
Best Acai bowls. Why? Because they have 20% off for Unilocalers AND they r the only acai bowl that I get berries in my teeth.
Service here can be fidy/​fidy somedays great super nice ppl, other days mega grumpy service.
Eat there, don’t take it to go. Also, get the double fruit, they hide extra granola at the bottom! Surprise!
I suspect they have other things on their menu but I can’t break away from the Acai.

Aloah!
I am an international student, being absolutely overwhelmed of these acai bowls (FRESH FRUIT, ORGANIC GRANOLA, SOYMILK) Popular in Hawaii in general but at BLUE HAWAII LIFESTYLE… they just make the best bowls on the entire island-​trust me
…and many other things on the menu;
Super TASTY plus it is really good/​healthy for you.
Acai is perfect for an energizing meal between classes!
— Bishop Street 1111: free wifi, in between palms, hidden spot but special because of its convenient atmosphere
Literally the optimal study and friends meeting spot in case you like to be outside once in a while and not in the buildings.
ENJOY YOUR UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

Thank you for a great acai bowl!
My usual is the Blue Hawaii Classic acai. Organic honey, soymilk with fresh strawberries banana, some blueberries and granola. It is delish~~!
Thank you for opening a small express location in Downtown! You rock! I also love your tea lattes and turkey pesto panani!

Okay so I got turned off during my last visit, the lady behind the counter took my order, I handed her my money and she gave me change… all that time she was wearing gloves. I though nothing of it until I saw her walk over to the fruits stick her gloved hand into the fruits, grabbed a bunch of fruits put it into the blender for someone order then she grabbed a banana, pealed and chopped it up then added it to my Acai Bowl! I was in serious shock and failed to speak at that moment. I basically took my acai bowl and thru it in the garbage after walking out. They are normally good about not using there hands or wearing gloves so just be on the look out for that if you decide to make a purchase here.

I was an acai bowl aficionado a couple of years ago. I was on a quest to find the best around Hawaii and discovered Blue Hawaii Lifestyle. It had the best. When the downtown location opened up, I was ecstatic! First problem, the hours are extremely limited. 10am — 2pm. Who on earth is awake at 10am for an acai bowl?! Not this college student with a messed up sleep schedule.
I FINALLY got around to coming in and one glance at their menu made me wanna walk right back out. This shiz was expensive! I forgot how expensive it was since I get my acai bowl fix at Jewel or Juice. I ordered this one with some algae/​seaweed thingy for $ 8.95 or so. BHLC has the best acai consistency, I love it when it’s smooth and not icy. It comes in a cup and I wished they add honey to the middle granola layer.
They may have the best acai around, I don’t think the value is there, second problem. The best bang for your buck and excellent quality will still be my all time fave, Jewel or Juice on Waialae. Next stop, Acai-​licious!

This place has THE best acai bowls … so far.
Places I’ve tried:
–Jamba Juice (yeah, I was desperate for my acai fix)
–Ted’s Bakery (they use some other acai brand and it tastes more frothy or something)
–Lanikai Juice (there’s is pretty good. I like their hula bowl… i think that’s what it’s called.)
–The Wedding Café (pretty good)
–Umeke Market (it’s okay)
–Kava Roots (they use frozen fruits on top)
I want to try Diamond Head Cove Health Bar. What I like most about BHL’s acai bowls is that their acai actually gives me an energy boost. I don’t drink coffee so this is my morning picker upper (if i need one). This is the only one so far that actually gave me a purple mouth :) not super purple… but… you can tell that i’ve been eating acai.
Otherwise, I make the second best acai bowls at home. Times Supermarket seems to have the cheapest frozen acai packs. Then I get the pumpkin granola, organic honey, fruits, frozen mixed berries and apple juice from costco. yeah, i eat a lot of acai and i love costco. too bad costco doesn’t sell the frozen acai things.
i need a good blender though. i’ve been using that crappy magic bullet. but… hopefully costco will take it back since it sucks. if they do then i’ll write a nice review for my beloved costco.
oh and the minus star is for the price… OH! but they do give a 10% discount if you bring your receipt back in on your next visit. but… i’m leaving the minus star just because i haven’t had acai today and i’m a bit grumpy. and 15% off if you have a student or military ID.
any students or military wanna buy me my acai in the morning?

As usual I ordered the lemi Fresh. Well just my luck, they were out of the lemi in the lemi fresh so all we had was the fresh part. Thats ok, they added a wee bit more fruits.
Yes it was over $ 10 but once in awhile is a great treat. The bad thing of this location is that there isnt any cool indoor seating so as hot as it was yesterday we had to sit out in the natural. YUCK! hahaha
I do think that the Ala Moana branch is better though.

I think that the acai bowls here are better than the BHL in Ala Moana probably because they’re not as busy so they don’t just throw everything in the cup. Their acai mix is also nice and thick, almost like a fruit sorbet, and their granola is just so damn crunchy and tasty with that oat-​y flavor. The granola is probably my favorite part. Going organic is prettyyy expensive though…

Ordered the Blue Hawaii Acai Bowl for breakfast. It was good. Acai had good flavor, the fruit was fresh, the honey wasn’t stale, and the granola was crunchy.
only drawback, price. over 9bucks for their medium sized acai bowl to go. I usually go to Jamba juice because its cheaper and they always give me one of those brown paper bags with handles which I later use for carrying bbq utensils to the beach etc. anyways, but its a much farther walk, so I decided to hit up BHL today instead due to convenience. convenience came with a price tag.

yes, BHL’s acai cups ARE really awesome! so much so, me & a friend schedule weekly acai cups for lunch. the «dessert» & «lemi-​fresh» are my favorites, but the classic «blue hawaii» is just as good. there’s something about BHL’s granola, suuuuuper good! and save your receipts ’cause you can get 10% off your next purchase!

Downtown now has access to acai thanks to BHL Café opening at the Remington College Building.
Now, I must rant about some marketing «misdirection» here. They display large pictures of acai bowls in front of their store and also list «Acai Bowl» on their menu. But, the acai «bowl» actually comes in a cup! This cup is probably equivalent a Starbucks Venti.
BHL’s acai cup comes with the standard toppings of bananas, strawberries, honey, and granola. I was neither impressed nor dissatisfied, however I still prefer Diamond Head Cove Health Bar.

BHL just opened a Downtown location (Remington College Bldg) a couple of days ago, and I’m stoked my «blue hawaii acai bowl, extra honey, hold the blueberries» is only a hop, skip, and a jump away from the office!
BHL (Ala Moana) seriously has the best acai bowl on the island, and so upon first entering their downtown café, I was worried that my expectations wouldn’t be met. I was even more worried when they gave me my «to go» order in a never-​before-​seen paper cup (albeit a 100% compostable one). However, as I got to eating, I was relieved to find that the same flavorful, granola and fruit filled goodness that we’ve all come to know and love is still there! And so is that «I’m so full, but I gotta finish it!» feeling too.
Definitely a welcomed addition to the Downtown community!
