Tropical Tribe began its operations in Hawaii as an Acai Bowls lunchwagon back in 2011 and it moved to a store front on Discovery Bay in 2012.
Acai is a berry from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Our goal with Tropical Tribe was to introduce to the Hawaiian market a high quality authentic Brazilian style Acai Bowl.
We started by importing high grade Acai pulp from Brazil and in 2017 started producing it ourselves.
Over time we grew and divided our company into two companies.
Tropical Tribe as a retail store
Waiana Apalai producer and distributor of Acai pulp.
In 2018 we added a fresh roasted Coffee, Espresso, with Cold Brew and Drip Coffee to our menu. Made with the same care and quality we put on our bowls.
We hope to see you soon!
