Crema's Take

Tucked into Ala Moana's food court, The Sunrise Shack is a bright spot for fresh, health-conscious eats where their acai and monkey bowls have earned legendary status among locals. The space has a thoughtfully modern vibe that feels calm and welcoming, making it perfect for a solo coffee moment or catching up with someone special over their creative cold brew and signature smoothie bowls. Fair warning: prices run high, but the quality and care that goes into both the food and the genuine kindness of the staff make it feel like a place where real connections happen.

Your place to make a connection. The Sunrise Shack is tucked away in Ala Moana food court. It's one of those organic healthy for you sort of places. That being said the food lacks the fat, sugar and salt that would bombarded you at other places. There is flavor though, it's subtle as the natural ingredients allow. What took me by surprise is the friendliness of the staff. At times busy at others not do much. They took the time to show a real interest in greeting me and a conversation to go with it. By the time I left the counter I felt that someone cared enough to listen and to do more that spue "may I take your order please" or a "what do you want". Which is all to common now a days Stop in an have something healthy for a change. As always shop and support local businesses. Ps: they have a sun on the ceiling. A place can't be bad with a frickin sun on the ceiling. Go have a peek!

Absolutely delicious! I had the original ACAI and my daughter tried something different, the monkey bowl. Definitely having this again. Super fresh and tasty. Just what you want on a hot day. It was busy in the store and it was made quick but the team on today were a little slow responding to the people waiting to order, otherwise it was a great experience

BEST smoothie bowls on the island. My husband and I have had the monkey bowl 3 days in a row… Had the salmon toast too and it was incredible. The worker was SO kind and even gave us a sample of something else. 10/10 service!

Food was fine but overpriced in my opinion; each food item was over $16 and the small drink was over $8. The avocado toast being priced this way without even having some kind of protein or side feels particularly appalling. I only picked up the order while my husband submitted it remotely, otherwise I might have chosen something of better value. Once I arrived, I expected orders that were ready to become visible at the pickup counter so I sat down to wait as I was 10mins early. However, no names or numbers were ever called so I eventually went up and asked. Turns out they keep the orders tucked in the back so who knows how early my order was ready.

The design and decor of the space look very good, featuring a modern aesthetic with clean lines and tasteful accents. It’s not crowded, offering a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. I chose the papaya bowl and upgraded it with a smoothie, which was quite enjoyable. However, I expected the bowl to be larger; it turned out to be quite tiny, roughly the size of a small cereal bowl. The price was around $16-18, which I feel does not provide sufficient value given the portion size.
