Makani’s Magic Pineapple Shack 54 Waianuenue Avenue, Hilo, HI 96720

"Gluten free granola and dairy free ice cream. The bowls are as pretty as they are delicious. The music is ono and will put you in a relaxong state of mind as you sip on the Hawaiian. The smoothies are fantastic. There may be only one person working when you come so please use your Aloha spirit and be patient. I do not think they serve sandwiches anymore."

"Little local shop that sells smoothies, açaí bowls, ice cream, and cold brews. We got the ube coconut and the Hawaiian Mac daddy. Ube coconut had a good subtle taste of ube. Didn’t taste chalky or super sweet, just enough to get its flavor in. The Mac nut coconut has both and was also subtle. Flavor wise they both just are there, nothing over powering. Aside from that, my only gripe is the cup was 75% full of ice prior to the cold brew. Dunno if it’s because it’s meant to water down because it’s concentrated but the cold brew didn’t feel that strong to begin with."

"So delicious that we came here twice! The pineapple ice cream bowl was unique, and absolutely worth getting once for the experience - but it’s a significant up charge. Our whole group dearly loved the ube ice cream and went with simple bowls on our second trip. They offered both indoor and outdoor seating, and the staff (especially Zeida) were very helpful. Will definitely come again the next time we’re in Hilo."

"The cold brew coffee is very good, but the food is boring. It looks way different then the pictures. We got a acai bowl in a pineapple. There is barely fruit on it. Its just acai and syrup. Would not recommend this, it is the worst we had compared to Ohau and Kauai. Dont go her for the food, but go here for the coffee’s, because that is great!"

"Loved ube soft serve the best, tried passionfruit topped with fresh pineapple it was so refreshing. The bowl was almost too cute to eat."
