Formerly known as Maluawai Café, we are now proudly operating as Açaí Republic Hawaii. We continue serving authentic Brazilian-style açaí bowls, including our signature Layers of Paradise, made with layers of premium açaí and our house-made fruit cream, topped with crunchy granola.
We also serve tropical smoothies, Brazilian favorites like coxinhas (Brazilian chicken croquettes), pão de queijo, empanadas, and our fresh avocado turkey sandwich. Located in Wahiawā, Hawaiʻi, beside beautiful Lake Wilson and the gateway to Oʻahu's North Shore, we offer dine-in, pickup, and delivery in a unique lakefront setting. Our menu also includes vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free options.
