The Sunrise Shack - Kailua Reviews
Can never go wrong with an amazing smoothie bowl. The base blend of orange, pineapple, guava and banana was so good. The guava adds a nice twang while the pineapple keeps it sweet. No idea how they make that pitaya sauce but it was incredible topping complemented the base blend well. I don't think there was really much flavor from the bees pollen but it did make the bowl super cute. I got the small but I would recommend the medium or large if you come with an appetite because I tore threw that small so quickly. Also be prepared for a high price point @ $15.95 for a small and additional 1.50 to $3.00 for a medium or large. Too pricey for this to be a daily/weekly visit but definitely was worth the splurge while I was on island. We went here for a snack before we hit Kailua Beach
One of my favorite snack stops while visiting Oahu!! We came in between activities and I'm so glad my bf found it! We got the pog bowl which was a pineapple, orange, guava, and home base. Our topping were pineapple, banana, orange slice, goji berries (omg yum!), bee pollen, pitaya sauce (also yum!), granola and coconuts flakes. So so delicious! I could eat one every day! I had the same bowl at another location in Waikiki and this one was significantly better!!
One of many sunrise shacks on island! Walked after spending the morning at the beach, it was pretty busy and I waited about 10 mins. The girls working were friendly. I got a medium ube bowl, it was just right. The color, the freshness of fruit, and the look was good! They had a lot of merchandise inside for purchase too.
This place is so good we went to this exact location twice within 2 days!!! We've tried almost every bowl they had to offer and it was really delicious and refreshing.
Papaya bowl is yummy! I removed peanut butter though, and would remove honey too - it's too sweet anyway, and also there are bees. Smoothies are gorgeous, would try that again for sure! Got our drinks quite fast. There isn't any tables inside, but there are plants space outside.
