Sunrise Shack - Waikiki

I was in the mood for something peanut butter. I got the small and I’m pretty full. I regret not doing a combo with the monkey bowl and classic açaí. Now I have to come back for the açaí!! I’m sure that’s the best seller. Love the beach girl vibe and the toppings here are the best. The hot classic bullet was just what I need for a pick me up. My first time trying vegan coffee. I think I'm going to stick to my basic coffee with soy or regular milk. Edit: I tried their Shibuya location (review available) and the açaí was quite disappointing after experiencing the real thing in Hawaii.

My visit to the Sun Rise Shack at Waikiki Shopping Center was a delightful experience. It was my first time trying the Monkey Bowl, and it was an absolute delight. The tropical bowl was equally delicious. What made the experience even better was the friendly staff who greeted me with a warm welcome. The menu had a variety of options besides açai bowls, including coffee, breakfast items, different types of salads, and more. Additionally, they offer souvenirs like stickers and T-shirts, making it a one-stop spot for both a tasty meal and keepsakes. Having visited several Sun Rise Shacks during my time in Oahu, I can confidently say that this was the best one. If you’re in Waikiki and craving a delicious breakfast or snack, don’t miss out on this spot.

We stopped here for a quick breakfast and tried two different açaí bowls. The monkey bowl and the tropical bowl. The tropical bowl was the winner for us. Like most places you do pay extra for any toppings, so we didn’t bother adding any and just enjoyed them as they were and I my opinion no need to add additional toppings - the bowls are super delicious as is. The only thing that could be improved is the system for calling out orders. The location is small and when orders are called out, it’s hard to hear or get to the front to pick it up. I would expect to pay about $15-20 per person.

Great location right in the heart of Waikiki! Their tropical bowl is superb, the blend is solid, not watery, can taste fresh pineapples! Also liked their papaya toppings, it’s a ball of smashed papayas than chunks, with some coconut flakes sprinkled on top. The reduction of 1 star is the açaí bowl, it tasted too much of frozen bananas and the consistency is watery.
