Their menu is stacked with organic acai blends, crunchy granola, and all the fresh fruit you could want. We went for the Local Bowl, which comes topped with granola, fruit poi, bananas, papaya, strawberries, Maui bee pollen, raw honey, and coconut flakes. Oh, and if you want to go all in on the tropical vibes, you can get yours served in a coconut bowl for a little extra!
