I am living with a health condition that is managed by adhering to a very limited diet. I've been to this place a few times over the past couple of years, and after today, I'm never going again--even if I'm starving. Today, I ordered the tropical kale juice and requested that they leave out the sorbet because I can't have dairy or soy. They refused, saying it is against their policy to leave anything out. Even when I explained that it's not that I was picky, I wasn't asking for a different price, and that an exception had been made before, they told me to just get soy. I can't have soy. I had said that. So they wouldn't sell me a juice. I had money, I was starving, I was being polite, they were they only business in the entire mall that had something I could eat without getting sick, and the three workers just stared flatly at me and said no. "It's policy." It's weird to almost plead with someone so you can give them your money. Bad weird. And given that I was hungry, pretty mean on their part. That's not how you run a business, and it for sure is not how you treat people.

I wish there was some closer to me. Straw banana smoothie is delicious and the staff greets you.

OMG! That yogurt was soooo sweet. Yea, it's a bad thing because I got a toothache right after eating that. I don't know if they put tons of sugar in that yogurt but I feel like I'm just eating sugar rock candy. At least get fruits, but I didn't want to eat anymore of it so I let my friend finish it because we shared. I thought it was pretty pricey there. Jamba juice would be more better. Those sizes are small and we paid $6 for it.

I didn't read the reviews prior to coming here to find out that many people get their acai bowl fix here. I was thirsty and was craving a fruit smoothie. Couldn't decide between the mango or peach pleasure smoothie. I ended up getting the peach pleasure smoothie. It wasn't what I expected at all. Did they leave out the peaches? Just to make sure it wasn't all in my head I had my bf taste the drink and I asked him, "Do you think something is missing?" He tasted it and said "Yeah, the peaches." Without the peaches, the drink tasted bland, slightly chalky like an Orange Julius except the lather is much sweeter and tastier. I ended up only drinking 20% of it before tossing the rest of it away. I believe that they messed up my drink but I'll probably give this place another try when I'm in the neighborhood. I'll get the acai bowl instead. They can't messed that up.

Acai bowl comes with scooped type acai sorbet which is amazing!!! Scoop able offers texture and more appetizing healthy dessert so much better than the "traditional" bowl most people usually are familiar with!!!
(4)Aloha G.
Why only two stars? Well because first they don't have my favorite smoothie anymore lemon freeze :( so sad. Then I asked if they had orange juice. She said for the small was $5 medium $6 and large like $8....ummm. just for orange im am not paying that price. So as I was about to walk out then I seen orange juice in a bottle! I bought that cause it was way cheaper! Why didnt she recommend that!
(2)Cathy T.
Ugh! It's HOT. The interior of my car is at least 100° and I refuse to keep sweating any longer! The only thing that will do (other than diving headfirst into a pool of ice water) is to go get a smoothie and hope the brain freeze will give me frostbite. My preferred smoothie spot is Robeks because of their tropical flavors. I LOVE the Big Wednesday (which the owner actually recommended to me) because it has papaya and peaches and tastes amazing even after all the ice melts. Sometimes if I'm feeling nutritionally deficient I'll order the Tropi-kale smoothie and get my veggie fix. Yay for green smoothies! I also love hearing the people across the mall shout "WELCOME TO MOE'S!" while I wait for my smoothie to blend. Both places are run by the same super duper nice couple and I wish that there were more locations of both places on the island BUT I suppose I'm pretty lucky to live so close to the ones we do have! A-town (that's AIEA not Atlanta) FTW!

ACAI BOWL: Robeks has one of the best acai bowls in the island! I love the consistency and the texture. It's not too sweet, but it's not bland at all like some other local acai bowl place. The portion is just right, but the price is eh it's okay. It's reasonable, but hey for an awesome acai bowl like that well I do not mind paying $7 at all! SMOOTHIES: I AM IN LOVE WITH THE SUPER GREEN SMOOTHIE! It's a blend of green tea, pineapple, yogurt, and spinach. OVERALL SERVICE: Awesome!
(5)Joy P.
After getting a NutriBullet, I told myself that I will never again pay someone to make me a fruit smoothie (especially Jamba Juice). Of course, I never lived up to it since food tastes so much better when someone else makes it for you... which is my way of thinking whenever making an exception to buy food (which is like, always). First time at ROBEK's, I was in one of those healthy-food binges, I was obsessed with Kale at the time so while browsing the menu I decided on the TROPI-KALE smoothie.. A blend of Kale, pineapple, and apples (I think). Oh lawd was it yummy! Kale has a taste that takes some getting used to, but the smoothie was refreshing and tropical, ahh, the name makes sense!! Compared to Jamba Juice, ROBEK's smoothies and juices are less in calories and sugar. They have a pretty wide range of options that incorporate all kinds of fruits and veggies. Give them a try!!
(5)Courtney O.
So yummy and so healthy! Okay I have to admit, I am probably the only person on this island that does not like acai, so this review is about Robeks' smoothies, drinks, and other bowls. First off, their split banana bowl is my absolute fave. It's also probably one of the less healthy items on the menu because of all the chocolaty goodness in it. It is so delicious and perfect on that hot summer day. Second of all, I feel like they have more veggies choices than Jamba Juice which is a huge plus. A lot of "healthy" smoothies contain a lot of sugar and right now I'm trying to watch my sugar. Robeks gives me a LOT of alternatives to regular fruity drinks. And they all taste pretty good! They even have kale drinks for all your kale lovers out there. Stop in today and get your drink on at Robeks. You won't be sorry!
(5)Nelly A.
Got myself a super acai bowl..i thought it would be larger.i also thought they would blended it on the spot but it was frozen...and the was sweet..i would rather have jumba juice instead..my opinion..hehe
(3)Brandy W.
I have been avoiding acai like the plague. Whenever I asked anyone about it they said "ehhh it's ok. it's bitter." ok I have no idea what acai these weirdos have been smoking but this one is like fruity heaven. I love Robeks because (A) they are never crowded compared to jamba juice or Orange Julius and (B) they have so many acai bowl sizes! Yes acai for the win! I am always looking for healthy snack options at the mall, ok healthy food options everywhere. This is a fantastic choice while everyone else orders coldstone or something that will keep you from buying that bandage dress at TJ Maxx. The smallest size, the junior bowl, is perfect for a snack instead of a mini meal and starts at $3.50 ish. You can get just a scoop of acai or pile on all sorts of granole and fruit toppings. I've also had their smoothies. They have such great sizes. Jamba always supersized theirs and I always felt they were never healthy. At Robeks you can opt for a fruit only smoothie for an extra charge and forgot the creamy base packed with sugar. Located right next to TJ Maxx and across from Moe's, they don't receive a whole lot of foot traffic, but they are definitely worth the walk.
(5)Melly A.
They charge more than I think that it's worth but the quality is really high. My SO and I go here quite often.
(4)DJ V.
Ordered the acai bowl and man did it SUCK! Flavor, texture and the price all! Man I feel so cheated. I already knew that coming to a place like this for an acai bowl was a gamble and I lost that bet!
(2)Jason Y.
The emperor acai smoothie is my favorite. And acai bowls are awesome. This shop has got a good selection of healthy snacks and drinks beside the smoothies. When I first started going there I wasn't sure what was good and the owner would always suggest something based on what I liked. Never disappointed!
(5)Sweetie M.
ohhhhhhheeemmmm I LOVE THIS PLACE! Their acai super bowls are to die for! And the great thing is they're so much less in calories then jamba juice. If I could have one for breakfast every day I would. Plus there's enough protein in the bowls to keep you full for a while. I once had a bowl at nine in the morning and didn't feel the urge to eat anything till six that night. One of my nost favorite places to eat at.
(4)Jay J.
Best smoothies period! Anytime I'm in the area I always have to stop by. It's that good! The acai bowls are great too!
(5)Gabriel T.
I think this place is underrated and should be rated as one of the best in smoothie places in the island. They have a lot of different kinds of smoothies. I tried their orange and mango ones and they were really good. More fresher and healthier than others like Jamba. I recently got to taste their acai bowls and they were super good too. It's really good with fruits and stuff. Whatchu know about that Lanikai Juice? The store itself is very clean and bright. The staff and customer service is good. I felt really refreshed and energized after eating the acai bowl. It's conveniently located in Pearlridge Mall on the uptown area right across from the Taco/Mexican place. You can't miss it especially if you are walking and entering by the sidewalk area by Pricebusters side. The prices are decent too and little better compared to other fruity places.

This will probably be redundant what with all the other reviews saying the same thing but it just reinforces the fact that I think this place is has the best Acai Bowl on the Island!! The gf and I usually get the Super Acai Bowl yelp.com/biz_photos/JNN8… and share it. It comes with 3 scoops of acai, bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. Notice how I did NOT say there was honey in it. Say whaa? No honey in an acai bowl? That's a first! I know I know...we thought the same thing too. But guess what? They don't need it! That's right, their acai perfectly sweet enough which is basically the reason why we love this place so much. It's also the perfect consistency (like icecream or a sherbet) and doesn't have the annoying seeds that some of the other places do. The granola is crunchily delicious and the fruits are always fresh and delicious. Was a little skeptical before as I never thought a juice franchise could have such great tasting acai but they do! Give it a try!
(5)Juliene C.
I wish Robeks was closer to me. I can only get a smoothie here if i'm at Pearlridge Mall. Their smoothies are better than Jamba Juice & seem fresher. I always order the super green smoothie. I think the greek yogurt they add is what makes it taste so good. I usually have it for lunch & feel satisfied. The only thing about this place is that it's far from me & kind of expensive! It's like $6+ for a smoothie. But worth it!
(4)Moani K.
Sooo. I'm all about Trying to help out other companies other than the big name brand ones like jambs juice. I've come here a few times but my last experience was enough for me to not want to go back. My husband got the protein bowl. It was 7$something. It looked like melted chocolate Icecream with some white stuff floating in it.it came in a bowl and thought maybe it should have come in a cup? Because it was pointless to try eat with a spoon.he went up nicely to ask the girl.she said that's how it was suppose to be.. Strike one Then he tries it and it taste exactly how it looked disgusting. Strike two Asked the manager a Korean man who argued with my husband that's how it was suppose to look..obviously my husband was unhappy with it but the manager just insisted that's how it was and he wouldn't make another one? Trying to given the bowl the benefit of the doubt and maybe it was just blended for too long and needed to be remade????Strike three By then..my husband was pissed and I think the Korean guy got scared and that's why he quickly offered a refund.. Customer is always right my manager would say. If your product isn't satisfying to the customer.your responsibility as the manager is to handle the situation to make sure the customer is happy. And by that either remake the damn thing or refund the money.not argue with the customer on why he should be satisfied with his 7$ melted bowl of Ice cream or whatever that was suppose be. Sorry I'm going to jamba juice next time. Where Acai bowls are cheaper and made better.

This place is Up-Town near TJ Maxx in the mall. Smoothies are good and affordable, but I always have to stop in for a junior acai bowl with granola. It's only $3.45! It's the perfect snack size serving and Robeks has created a fantastic acai blend served up like scoops of gelatto in my opinion. It isn't too sweet and the star flavor is the acai, unlike other places who blend it with too many other things. I'd come here daily if I lived nearby. My other half says it doesn't taste great, but he smokes so I tell him all his taste buds are broken and he doesn't know sh*t. TeeHee!
(5)Lauren S.
When it comes to acai bowls and smoothies, there is only one place I go...Robeks! Their secret? They don't skimp out on the quality of their ingredients, and use an acai sorbet verses an acai juice that many of their competitors use...This truly makes a difference in the taste and quality of their acai products, and will forever be superior to any other smoothie joint on the island. Their acai has such a smooth and refreshing flavor that it simply dances on your tongue. Before Robeks, I was so accustomed to that grainy and powdery aftertaste from other smoothie shops, that I had no idea what I was missing! My husband and I have been loyal customers here for years and love the staff here...and the owners are AMAZING! I always light up when I see them! They also own Moe's Southwestern Grill (right across from Robeks), so I hardly see the wife manning the cash register anymore. The only thing I miss is their loyalty punch card :( It is true that Robeks is more expensive than Jamba Juice...but give them a try, and you will definitely think twice about settling for another smoothie place just because it's right across the street from you.
(5)Chris P.
Finally my search for the perfect acai bowl is over! Their acai is much more sweeter than at Lanikai Juice and Island Vintage Coffee. They use fresh strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. And no ripe old bananas either - that's you Jamba Juice! It's rarely crowded in the shop and they take their time making your order. As always, great customer service! Only if I lived closer to this location, I would pick up an acai bowl every time after working out at the gym! Thanks Robeks!
(5)Talor M.
Everything here rocks! The acai, smoothies, and my favorite the giant cookies! I like this place more than jamba juice because they get a little more exotic than some other places. Sometimes its a little too exotic.........kale smoothie?!? Well besides being different from the rest it just tastes better than some other places. The acai bowls here are on the sweet side so I tend to skip those in favor of their acai smoothies which offer a bit more depth in my opinion. I also like to ask for soy sorbet for all of their smoothies as it has a more neutral flavor than yogurt. Their cookies are amazing here too! Since they keep it refrigerated I recommend taking them home and microwaving it for 30 sec. Try it! Its so good!
(5)Lulu C.
By far, the best Acai Bowl on the island! Their secret, it's an Acai Sorbet and scooped like ice cream so it doesn't melt as fast. Consistently made the same and the fruits are always fresh! Your hunt for the best Acai Bowl on Oahu is over!
(5)Bryanie R.
Had my first acai bowl here. It's way better than Jamba Juices! In my opinion. Very delicious & refreshing.
(5)Miss A.
YUMMY!! I had some sort of pineapple kale smoothie and a gluten free lemon poppyseed cookie both were absolutely delish!!! On the pricey side, but for good ingredients that's what you need to expect!
(5)Wanda D.
Great acaà bowls, Tutti Frutti is less expensive.
(3)Toni B.
The customer service suck!!! I asked about the sweeter juices they offered as well as the nutritional facts for the juice. I was directed to the side of the store so I could review one of their pamphlet. I'll pass! Work on the customer service ladies!
(1)Kasey J.
Though Blue Hawaii will always be my fave when I'm in town, Robek's has become the go to place in my own hood. The first time I tried an acai bowl from here it was a cute little junior size. That's right! A mini acai bowl to hit that sweet craving when you don't want a ginormous bowl that you'd have to share to finish. But they also have regular and large sizes too so not to fret. The acai here is more of a sorbet consistency and it is literally scooped out of a tub into your bowl. So, no its not blended into a soupy oblivion like some places. Its not overly sweet and they don't add any honey here. It may seem like very little granola topped on it but you'll be surprised when you find more on the bottom of your cup. They have all the usual suspects when it comes to fruit toppings. They could put a little more fruit in there but I think its a good acai to fruit & granola ratio. Though Robek's may not be on most people's radar for "Best Acai Bowl", I definitely say to give a try. You may be surprised. And....I must admit that I don't like sharing this with my hubby at all. So next time I may have to just get my own!

I've been a loyal Robeks fan since my high school days when I worked at Up & Riding at Pearlridge. Unfortunately I'm not on that side of the island too often, but if I am Robeks is a definite stop! It's such an easy place to stop by and grab a drink/snack. A bright and fun interior - clean - easy to find/navigate. Not too big.. just enough space for a line, waiting area, and a couple of tables. All of the workers are friendly, smiley, & helpful. Plus they play good upbeat music. These are a few of my favorite things... ACAI BOWLS: Not your traditional blended chunky acai, more of a consistent blended ice cream/shave ice texture. Still just as delicious! Yummy & sweet. Good enough to eat by itself. But you can get the normal fruits, granola, & honey to top it off as well. LEMON FREEZE SMOOTHIE: I love anything tart... sour and sweet goodness. I would prefer this over jamba. JALEPENO CHEDDAR PRETZEL: MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! Gahh this stuffed pretzel is delicious. Just make sure they heat it up in the oven to a good crisp.. the cheese can cause the dough to be a bit soggy if not. The jalepenos add a good spicy kick. There are a lot of options to choose from...I still have lots to try, but I can't help but stick to my favs.

I'm so torn about giving them 3 stars because I really love their smoothies. I used to come here several times per week back when I worked at the mall. Their smoothies and juices just seem so much more fresh and nutritious, not powdery or overly-sugary like how Jamba tends to be. But I feel like prices keep rising for certain menu items that tend to be popular. Not only that, but the last time I went in, they weren't as accommodating when I asked to substitute certain things. I get it, that's their business, but it was just a bummer when the prices of the items I usually order went up, and they weren't as willing or friendly as before. Oh yeah, and I went out of my way just to come here because I love it so much. Not sure if i'll be craving it for a while. Overall, if you want a good smoothie, this is a good place to go...especially if you're in the area. Probably would have given them 5 stars and a raving review a month ago. Slightly disappointed.
(3)Jared T.
The meal you didn't even know you wanted but will love: the Acai Bowl Jr w/ fresh fruit and the Spinach and Feta Pretzel. My friend introduced me to this place back when there was one in market city (near kapahulu) and i've maintained that the acai bowls here are one of my favorites. The acai is a littttle on the sweet / tart side , especially when paired with the fresh fruit. but the texture and flavor are pretty darn good, especially for the price. pair that with the awesome starchy creaminess of the spinach and feta pretzel and you have an awesomely paired meal which will leave you satisfied for hours to come. as for juice smoothieness... i'm still a Lanikai Juice fan.
(4)Tiffany H.
Everytime I'm at Pearlridge, I get the craving for some Robek's frozen yogurt. I always get the mixed (plain and blueberry swirl) with some fresh strawberries as my topping. My grandma loves getting blueberries. Let me tell you, this is some goooood fro-yo! It's so fresh and light, which is the perfect kind of dessert if you've just eaten dinner. It hits the spot. A couple of times though, I feel like I got jipped. The look of the pretty swirly yogurt can be deceiving--I found that they sometimes leave the inside completely hollow! Like if you poke your spoon in and scoop some out, peek-a-boo! All you see is hollow-ness. Other than that, I highly recommend giving this yogurt a try. Just let 'em know that you don't want yours to be hollow ;)
(3)Sierra L.
Robeks is the reason why I fell in love with Acai Bowls!!!!! One of the best on the island! I don't like "mushy" acai bowls and theirs has the consistency of ice cream.
(5)Savina C.
I was really surprise how great my drink was. I had the tropi-kale paradise drink. My first thought was. I love kale, but in a smoothie? It was so delicious! Soo fresh! What I hate about jamba juice that it has that artificial taste of fruits. I think you would agree with me if you are a juicer. This drink was def something that tasted fresh out of a juicer. I haven't looked at the rest of the menu options because I was in a hurry. But I'll go back for that drink again :)
(4)Tyler J.
ok acai bowl. skimpy on the granola and blueberries. the acai is on the sweet side but has lots of fruity flavor and its ice cream consistency. medium priced bowls compared to DH places though. great easy stop when slogging around mall with kids, they have mini acai bowls perfect to perk up tired kids. their smoothies and juices are good.
(3)Kristy Y.
i am currently addicted to this place! they seem to have the healthiest juice/smoothies in the aiea/pc area. first off, their acai bowl is delicious and very unique. the acai has an ice cream consistency like others have mentioned, but to me it seems less sweet than other places. the granola is very sweet to me and has a texture almost akin to puffed rice. they put the standard strawberries, blueberries, and sliced banana on top but no honey, which is good because i think that it would make it too sweet their juices are good too. i like the sweet green but will sometimes get ones and sub out ingredients that i don't care for. smoothies are always yummy too. i think the only one i hated was the one that tasted like green tea cause it was just too overpowering for me. i really like how their smoothies taste more naturally sweetened than overly sweet like jamba. staff is efficient. it's a bit pricey but i'm hooked.
(5)Greg A.
Price wise this place is a bit higher than Jamba Juice but their smoothies are consistently blended without any particles of ice. What I most enjoy is their Acai' energizer! I suggest to opt for this is you want natural caffeine but not the amount that is found in coffee-based smoothies. It is really good and I don't enjoy yogurt or soy normally and I was happy to find out that their acai energizer has apple juice as it's base. They do promise that they do not use any additives or preservatives which is a HUGE PLUS! Customer service is on point! This morning I went in and I was not sure if they were open bc walked in and they were still prepping their acai bowls. However, the co-owner was sweet to greet me and take my order. She also remembered me and my order from last time. So if you are trying to enjoy a fruit smoothie or breakfast bars (the blueberry one is the best) then check this place out!
(5)Rachel I.
Located in Pearlridge Mall, bottom floor by TJMaxx, is Robeks. It's been there for years but every time I've craved smoothies or Acai Bowls I would head over to Jamba Juice. After my most recent encounter with a watery, bland Acai Bowl from Jamba, I decided to try Robeks out. They have clean, cute tables to sit on in the mall & friendly workers to take your order. I got their Energy Acai Bowl for ~$6.59. Not only is it beautifully presented but it was also delicious! There is definitely a good amount of honey in their Acai bowl that gives it the right amount of sweetness! It's a good deal for the price and I will definitely visit again when I am craving an Acai Bowl on a hot summer day in Pearl City.
(5)Gregory G.
Without question, Robeks is one of my favorite places to grab a smoothie. Known by many as a "higher end" Jamba Juice, Robeks can be a little pricey; however, their smoothies are totally worth it. The portions are HUGE and their acai is one of the creamiest and most satisfying that I have ever had. After a long day of work, I like ordering a large Emperor Acai with a banana in it along with a vegan peanut butter cookie. Or, if you feel like you need a cleanse, Tropikale (Kale+Fruits) is the way to go. That being said, there are a myriad of items to choose from--smoothies, cookies, juices and even acai bowls. I give Robeks Pearlridge a 5/5 for not only their product consistency, but also their fast and friendly customer service.
(5)Jenel O.
I was just not impressed by the hyped acai bowl here. It's more like ice cream and tastes more like ice cream. Overly sweet for my taste as well. I don't think I'll be back for a bowl here. On the plus side, if you like their acai bowls, they offer a great variety of sizes. I don't care how other places usually offer one size - sometimes you just need a small snack! Conveniently located in Pearlridge across from Moe's near Ross and TJ Maxx side.
(2)Nadia K.
I've been on an acai kick lately so I stopped at Robek's to pick up a quick lunch to-go. I didn't expect anything special and when I saw the counterperson take out from the freezer a ready made acai bowl (without the fresh fruits) I thought, well, at least it will last the car ride back to the office. Did I mention I'm pretty new to acai bowls? I've had maybe 4 my entire life; this one being number 5. So I didn't know what to make of it when I had my first taste and the texture was much different than the ones I had previously. Robeks uses organic acai sorbet for their acai bowls so the texture is waaaayyy creamier. Like ice cream! Which I LOVE!!! My next thought was, crap, if it tastes this good it must be loaded with calories. I googled high and low and the most calories I found was under 300 for a 12 oz size. It's probably still loaded with sugar, but I can let that slide. Service was quick and I liked that the acai bowls come in a variety of sizes. Will definitely be back!
(4)Nadine C.
Pearlridge is such a maze to me. There are "Phases" and "Uptown"/"Downtown", plus a monorail - uhg! ...so confusing. I need a map! So, when I drove around and I saw Robeks (weird name that stuck in my head), I had to stop and get a smoothie! I had read reviews by Cathy T., Eric Robert, Marni T. and Jozlyn H. I trust these Yeeps, so I knew I wouldn't be wasting my time or money. It was a hot day and I hadn't eaten anything yet, but was in a rush, so it was all good timing and luck! There were so many items to choose from, so I decided to get the drink that sounded the worst, and if it tasted good, everything should be better, right? I needed good nutrition, so I picked the kale, spinach, and peach combination. Wow. It was GREAT! It was smooth - not gritty! It had good flavor - not bitter! Excellent! I will be back to try other combinations - if I can find the place again (haha)! The parking was convenient and free! The staff were efficient and helpful! There was hardly any wait time - I watched them prepare everything = FRESH! The shop was clean, bright, and colorful! And best of all, my tummy was happy, my mind was guilt-free, and my spirit was healthy!!

You know when you're in the middle of nowhere and everywhere else has really good mom and pop restaurants that make A-mazing acai bowls, well Robeks is a good suffice for an acai bowl fix. EVERY TIME I GO HERE, it really wasn't until the last time I went there that I didn't ask for honey. Their acai is already pretty sweet that they just don't believe in adding more of the buzzing bee honey goodness to their bowls. So when I ask for honey, they tell me it costs extra and they don't pour it on there for you, they come on the side like it's a dipping sauce. I just want my acai bowls to be drowned in honey with yummy granola and if they allow it, bee pollen - that stuffs the best, but they don't do that here. Although if you are craving that acai goodness with granola and fresh fruit, Robeks is the place for you. Also, if you work in the mall, they don't give you a discount.
(3)Lori L.
I was craving something fresh so I headed to Robeks. They have a nice selection of smoothies, juices, and bowls. I ordered a Tropi-Kale, pineapple and kale, which was really good and is sweet-tart like a granny smith apple. I would definitely suggest Robeks for a pick-me-up whenever you are in the mall.
(3)Jozlyn H.
The BEST acai bowl on the island! Don't listen to the other guys... seriously! What makes Robek's acai bowl the best?.... Try it..........and YOU tell me. Seriously. For me, I like the consistency of their acai.,,,, it's like ice cream.... but better. I am not sure why there is such a craze over the gooey, slimy, melty, mushy stuff that ever one goes crazy for...... Robeks isn't like that at all. Anyone reading this review that goes and tries Robeks acai bowl, message me and tell me if I was right. :) Also, Robeks makes FRESH squeezed juices and smoothies. Not the high calorie sugar loaded kind that jamba has. They have cucumber coolers, a beet juice, carrot juice, etc. soooooooooo yummy! and soooooooo healthy!!!

Acai bowls are not so bad. But it's more like an ice cream texture so probably not as healthy as you'd think... They're not so friendly here. The workers are never smiling and a bit snotty. Note they won't let you make any substitutions or to put it on the side. I've tried to have the bananas put on the side or swap w another fruit -they were weirdly strict about it, twice.

I wish they had more locations. I came here for the first time this week, even though it's been in Pearlridge for years. I decided to try the Emperor Acai smoothie with Greek yogurt and the junior acai bowl with fresh fruit. I was not all that impressed with the junior acai bowl. It was a TINY little bowl that wasn't filled to the very top. It's really meant for little kids or just for someone who wants a little sampler, but with it almost being $5, I wish I had just opted for a regular sized acai bowl. Also, I found the acai sorbet to be almost too sweet. =/ As for the Emperor Acai smoothie, that is something I would come back for. I feel the smoothies are really reasonably priced, and they seem to be a bit healthier than what Jamba Juice offers. I definitely want to come back, but not for the acai bowl.
(4)Jasarae P.
My favorite! There's no other place I'd rather go. The Acai isn't watered down, it's a frozen texture just the way I like it.
(4)Andrea S.
I used to work across from Pearlridge so Robek's was one of my regular stops. Ever since Robek's opened, I've always been a huge fan. The owners are always super friendly and the service from the employees is always great. They have no problem offering to help you decide what to get. I've tried multiple drinks from here and I have yet to be disappointed. I also love their Acai bowls, one of the best I've tried. All in all, a great place to get ur smoothie fix.
(5)Chris O.
I'm not big on acai bowls but I have tried several places and I'll have to agree that they do have the best acai on island very convenient location definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great acid bowl
(4)Sean F.
Their acai is not the same acai (sambazon) served at the other juice / smoothie spots, which is probably why their acai products are better, in my opinion (not to mention organic).

First impression? Typical mall smoothie bar. No greeting. Small selection. My first impression lasted for a minute! I like this "healthy" alternative in the middle of Uptown (Uptown Girl- Billy Joel) Pearlridge! I'm a fan of... ROBEKS'! A place named after Reebok & Robot or what? Who knows... What I do know is it's been around since 1996 and I'm sure the menu has been tweaked through the nearly two decades! Two decades? Wow! Yet, I'm not sure when this one popped up at Uptown, or do I recall ever stepping my foot inside. Maybe? Maybe a decade ago? Idk. What I do know is this place is a tad above average and here's why... ROBEKS' HAS HEALTHY OPTIONS: Yup, that's a bonus at a mallrat mall, too! From real fruit juices to those grass green blended drinks - it's here! Of course, you have the somewhat unhealthy smoothies too, but heck at least you're taking in some nutritional value! ROBEKS' HAS PRETTY DECENT ACAI BOWLS: The first time here (I think) and I got the Acai Bowl. I just had a healthy breakfast elsewhere, so came here in anticipation of the juices, but when I saw the photos of the Acai Bowl here and the myriad of size choices! Heck! A mini Acai w/ Fruit looked perfect as an after breakfast snack! Yes... It's small. Very small, but it's packed well and sometimes us muscle-heads don't want a full 10lbs of Acai! My mini Acai w/ Fruit came with a scoop & half of Acai (ice cream texture), maybe a quarter of apple banana, slices of a single strawberry, several blueberries, a pinch or two of granola, and I believe a tad of honey. Oh btw... It was fresh and delicious! ROBEKS' HAS COMPETITIVE PRICES: The prices are on par with similar smoothie/juice bars. I mean I paid under $5 for my mini Acai! How many places can you say you plopped down a Lincoln and got a bowl of goodness! Yes... It's small, but it's very good! I noticed the smoothies and juices were competitive with the like of Jamba, etc. So, I was pleased with that! So yes, I recommend... ROBEKS'! A place with a funny name in the middle of a suburban mall. No, it's not designer like Diamond Head Cove Health Bar or uber cheap like Da Spot, but when you consider it's location and competition in the area, you'll appreciate this pretty decent healthy alternative tucked away at a mainstream mall. Not a purist Acai bowl per se, but rather a Hawaiiankine-sorbet version... Still very good! So, If ever stuck in Uptown I'll drop by again, but hope next time I bump into Miley Cyrus, Debbie Gibson, Christie Brinkley, or Mr. Uptown himself, Mr. Billy Joel... Hey, you never know who might be a mallrat... "...Uptown girl She's been living in her uptown world I bet she never had a backstreet guy I bet her mama never told her why..." OVERALL GRADE: 4.0-STARS! (SOLID!) LIVE ALOHA... YELP REVIEW #388

Pro's -haven't had a bad drink here yet (believe I've had seven drinks here so far) -staff is polite -prices are ok -place is always tidy -timely service Cons -performance drinks not available in small size I am pleased with this place and wont hesitate to go when i want a drink. NOTE: I haven't tried their bowls
(4)Joshua R.
I was not expecting their Açaà Bowl to be as good as it was! I'm thinking it would be alright somewhat comparable to Jamba. But man their Açaà could match up with some of the popular places on the island. The Açaà is actually in sorbet form and comes in scoops. The fruit is fresh and the granola isn't overly crunchy. I'd definitely grab this next time I'm in Pearlridge for a healthier alternative to some of the other things I'd end up eating there. I'll attempt to try some of their other things too like the smoothies and such.
(5)Marni T.
It was my first time here and the place was okay. The people behind the counter were very friendly, the one girl asked if I had any questions. I was deciding between a smoothie and their acai bowl. I ended up getting a smoothie only because I didn't want something big. I got peach paradise, it was pretty good. I have probably tried everything from Jamba Juice but I have noticed that they're smoothies are way too sweet. Robeks on the other hand IS sweet but not too sweet. It was good, I will be back to try their acai bowl.
(4)Richelle A.
This review is only on the super acai bowl. I've never tried anything else from there. There are lots of different ways to make an acai bowl. I've tried many of them from different places, both local and chains. The acai bowl from Robeks is my favorite so far. Part because I prefer frozen over fresh acai because I hate mushy and melty, and the flavor is consistent. Not overly sweet one day, and bitter or sour the next. I love that it's sorbet. If you like fresh blended acai, perhaps this isn't the place for you. The only CON for me would be the limited fruit toppings. Banana, blueberry and strawberry are favorites. But I do love having other fruits such as coconut, watermelon, etc on my bowls. My daughter and I fought over the last little bit, which was still nice and frozen to the very bottom of the bowl! My daughter already told me the next time we go back, she wants her own.
(5)Shuao Li L.
They did away with their other Acai bowls...I really loved it!
(3)Chris K.
This is the worst place in pearl ridge mall there so rude!! And the place is constantly dirty,I came there to get a drink because I was sick and one of the employees made a mistake with my drink,I asked if she can change it and she did but guess what she did another mistake so I told her that I don't want the drink and that I want my money back so the owner started screaming at me and said-why did you just say that now?!! He came close to me and wanted to smack me I was shocked of what happened and of how a owner gives such a bad costumer service and sets bad example to the employees
(1)Glennie Mae D.
Good service, the cashier and people who were making the food/drinks were nice and polite. I didn't wait long. They have good smoothies, but do not order acai bowls. This has probably the most nastiest acai I've ever tried, it maybe because it's "organic" but to me it tastes nothing like acai. Also they scoop it and do not cover the bottom with it, which makes it hard to eat it with fruits and the granola. The bananas and blueberries did not taste fresh either, they were mushy.
(2)Ericka B.
9182731923 STARS to infinity and beyond. Hands down my favorite acai bowl on the island. Nothing else really compares or satisfies my acai cravings than Robeks. If you haven't tried their acai bowls yet, it isn't like your traditional acai. What makes it different is Robek's acai is like a sorbet... it comes in scoops. Different but definitely delicious. GET YO ANTIOXIDANTS ON!
(5)Sharz T.
I've only tried their acai bowl. It's sorbet so it has an icecream look and taste but it is acai. I think it's expensive for the price. I've gotten larger and better acai bowls elsewhere. It's still unique because it's sorbet. The only other place I know with sorbet acai is Haleiwa Bowls. I like Robek's because it's closer to home but I'd say it's only good to have when you're at pearl ridge on a hot day or passing through town. I've tasted better but this is still a good place to get acai and try something new. They're located in Pearlridge Uptown near TJ Maxx. They have 3 to 4 tables and it's a fairly small shop so you can take out your order and eat (or drink) it while you shop around the mall. The wait is never long and the workers are nice. One of them remembered me from a judo tournament saying she remembered my smile. It was nice of her to recognize and converse with me.
(3)Tif-funny T.
I just love their ACai bowls and acai smoothies. Robeks quality and taste just tastes so much better than jamba.
(5)Ashley V.
Robeks, Pearlridge.. I came here, because I wanted a protein smoothie to cure my acute hunger pains, & I left feeling immensely disappointed. Originally a friend of mine wanted an acai bowl, & you, Robeks, we're right there in front of us, so we took it as a sign from the heavens to get an acai bowl & protein smoothie from you guys! Oh boy, oh boy.. How we really misread that "sign." I am VERY big on customer service having worked in numerous service vending businesses, so I will always give credit where credit is due. If you are kind, give good/speedy service, & have great product quality I WILL tip you good & give a great referral to a supervisor. That is how I am. But today, Robeks, you fell far below quality, as well as service. I ordered the 800lb gorilla protein drink, which is supposed to be a chocolate peanut butter whey protein smoothie... I LOVE Lanikai Juice's Kailua Monkey (chocolate peanut butter protein smoothie), but due to there being NO Lanikai Juice nearby, I made due with what I had (Robeks). I tipped a dollar after being run up by the cashier just because she was very nice... Waiting for my smoothie though..... It seemed like her co-worker did not know how to work their blender, & my smoothie took a lot longer to make then i expected. But that's minor. When I finally got my smoothie I took one sip and thought, "Is this JUST peanut butter?!?" It was horrible! It literally tasted like liquid peanut butter mixed with LOTS of sugar! & on top of that I tasted NO chocolate! I went back immediately and asked if they could dilute it with milk, or anything to fix the straight peanut butter taste. She shook her head & I politely thanked her and walked away. My friend who was with me took a sip of my drink & immediately gagged! She grabbed my drink out of my hand & went back to them to have them fix the drink. Although they did add some milk to it, it was still so horrible & sweet i couldn't get past drinking even a quarter of that $7 smoothie! I ended up throwing it away after a few more sips. What a waste. It is safe to say that I will never be back & will stick to higher quality smoothie, acai bowl places such as Lanikai & Health Bar. P.S. I was so upset with your service, I almost hoped that you guys would go out of business soon. I'm a really nice person & would normally never say anything of that sort.. But in every aspect it was a ruined experience and complete waste of time and money. Thank you for the horrible service. 1 star, because I can't give you 0. Never again.
(1)Crisselle P.
Besides One Love Surf Shop down on Pupukea, this is my only other favorite place to get an acai bowl... Unlike Jamba Juice's SOUPY/MELT WITHIN SECONDS sad excuse for an acai bowl, Robek's is the complete opposite! While other places focus on the toppings, Robek's actually satisfy the taste of acai. I love how it's not soupy or too frozen to eat.... It's more of an ice cream texture and is perfect! The taste is bomb and the wait/price is awesome.
(5)Jessica W.
Oh jeez... No. This is NOT a good place to get an acai bowl. The stuff they serve you is like some fake tasting weak sorbet. I was seriously disappointed. I paid $5 for it too :( I love lanikai juice too much to settle for this. It looks good... But not satisfying and doesn't even taste that great. I guess I was super hyped up for an acai bowl like the ones I always get from lanikai juice and that's why I hated it so much haha.
(1)Asia B.
Robeks is my favorite smoothie place, hands down. The workers are nice and remember my order, and their consistency is on point. I recommend the emperor acai or the tropikale. Their acai bowls are great too! They make working in the mall so much more tolerable.
(5)Jenna And Gregory D.
Taste: Delicious flavor. Hard to mess up açai. Got the açai energy bowl for 6.96 +tax (medium size). Add-ins: Comes with strawberry, blueberry, banana and granola. You can add boosts like at Jamba Juice. I added the probiotic boost for healthy digestion. Rating: 3/5. It was decent. Works for a great healthy snack. However, it wasn't worth the price for the size of the bowl. Recommendation: Check out Kokonuts near Kokohead for a much better açai bowl that is bigger and better taste for about the same price as here. So you'd get a better deal. Location: In the mall in a random location near the exit towards the other half of the mall.
(3)Amber K.
My absolute FAVORITE place to get an acai bowl! I love the ice cream like texture of their acai. It's not rock solid or melting like crazy compared to others. Their acai is sweet instead of sour like many other places that I have tried. Great service and NO ridiculous waits.
(5)Lynn R.
Typical hot summer days, drinks here are soothing, refreshing and cheap too... $5 for a large you can't go wrong. So yummy in my tummy yet very very refreshing. They need a store on the Westside soon.
(4)X I.
Got the large acai bowl, it's more like a small. Taste wise, it's ok...nothing special. Lanikai juice is way better!
(3)Reuben R.
ACAI BOWL.... the SUPER ONE... EVEN the JR one! Just get it! You won't be disappointed! I've had reserves about this place because I always thought it was just way too expensive... but man its so delicious! I want to just... go there every day... have an acai bowl to go... and just find my happy place and chow down. The acai is just so smooth... and cold... and just the right sweetness........ Just get one, the small one even for like $3... just watch, you'll wish you got the largest one for $7
(5)Nicole A.
Robeks markets and brands their products to be healthy and wholesome...that they're smoothies and bowls are made with only healthful ingredients. They also sell additional health products such as protein powder (which can be added to any smoothie). I think I've also seen vitamins sold on their shelves. We've been Robeks lovers for several years because, well, they serve Acai smoothies and bowls. My husband and I are Acai freaks! Lol. Although this is not the best place to get Acai products on the island, we've grown to love this place over the years, because it's the only place like it situated within Pearlridge. When we're shopping in the mall and want a snack or a drink to quench our thirst, this is always where we end up. We like their Acai bowls because the Acai is served in scoops (like ice cream), so it doesn't melt and turn into soup before you finish it. Hate it when we order bowls and the Acai melts and turns into soup within a few minutes of receiving them. :( We also like that their Acai is never sour, because it's not blended with apple juice like their nearby competitors. It's also a little sweet, so that naturally satisfies the palate. I just hope they're not mixing sugar into the Acai before freezing...that would just be a downer. I'm hoping that it's its natural sugars that I'm tasting and not any added processed sugars. We also like that the fruits served in their bowls are normally fresh (not frozen like it's served at other places). Probably the only complaint that I have is that the portions are a little on the small side. My son loves to drink their yogurt tropical smoothies, and we enjoy paying the low prices ($3-5). The small is not what you'd expect. It's a regular small, not a "small" cup, like you'd expect to see for that price. He loves the Strawberry smoothie out of the three choices. We've recently started ordering other items on the menu (not just Acai) and we've never been disappointed. My new favorite smoothie is their Tropi-Kale. I love to add Kale to my diet whenever I can and I love the mix of flavors in this smoothie. It's a perfect blend and I can really taste the fresh Kale. A must try if you like Kale. Last but not least, their service has never been unsatisfactory. We're always welcomed with a big smile and they're very accommodating, especially when placing an order with several modifications/preferences (not saying that I've done this before, but I've seen other customers do this on several occasions).
(4)Olivia O.
I don't really have anything to compare to since this was my first acai bowl but it was really good. Sweeter than I thought it would be but not over powering.
(4)Rissa K.
This is only location in Pearlridge. I come here for the Acai bowls...it's sorbet Acai and in my opinion the BEST on the island!
(5)Ressiel F.
I'd like to say I'm always here because I'm a bit obsessed with their Acai Energizer. Their acai bowls are my favorite as well, but I prefer the smoothie. Recently I've tried their Tropi-Kale after an employee at the TJ Maxx nearby recommended it to me. It was surprisingly delicious, considering I'm not a fan of kale. So for people who want to feel energized as well as healthy, this would be a good choice.
(5)Darriann P.
Tried to get a smoothie and the girl told me she closed the register. It was exactly 9:00
(1)Cris G.
I come here whenever I'm in Pearlridge shopping and I want something healthy... This place is such a great alternative to Jamba juice and other places that serve smoothies. They have a great variety that I haven't seen anywhere else. For instance, their Kale smoothie is sooooo good!! I have only seen a kale smoothie at down to earth, and they charge an arm and a leg for it. At Robeks, I get a big cup size for a decent price, and it's delicious. I can taste every ingredient; it's well-balanced. Every other smoothie I have had here has been really good. I had a pina colada smoothie here a few times and it had little flecks of coconut shreds in it. Mmmmm..... I can't wait to try everything on their menu. Such a great place to come for a healthy treat. The customer service is also pretty good here too. :)
(5)Ayshen T.
The BEST Açai bowl! Owners are very friendly! Drinks taste a lot better than Jamba Juice. My favorites are Big Wednesday, Super Green, & Hummingbird.
(5)Aimee C.
I'm a Robeks fan, for sure. I was so sad when they closed down the Market City location, but did cartwheels when I found one at Pearlridge. Soooo much better than Jamba. I love their smoothies...today I tried their Acai for the first time and it was delicious. But I wish it was a little bigger for what you pay for it. It was yummy with a cut banana & a strawberry, 3 blueberries, and a whole lotta granola to fill the cup. Its def worth a try.
(4)Kristel Y.
I'm sort of over Jamba Juice and its copycats, so I had passed Robeks dozens of times at Pearlridge before actually ordering something. That was my mistake. I will now drive out of my way, past any Jamba Juice on the way, to go to Robeks instead. I've learned my lesson. My favorite there is the Lemon Freeze, which goes down quite smooth (unlike a similar drink at Jamba Juice). The thing I like about Robeks is that their drinks are light, unlike Jamba Juice's stuff which makes me feel like I'm pregnant with a fruit after I've had one.
(4)Chloe M.
I wish they had more locations. This one is located in the uptown part of Pearlridge. Jr Acai Bowl: For $4 you get a cute little acai bowl with pieces of strawberries, banana, and blueberries. It's a pretty good deal. The acai is very different from other acai. It has the consistency of ice cream, and has a delicious acai flavor. I also love their stuffed pretzels! Overall: Way better than Jamba Juice and some of the local smoothie places. Nuff said.
(4)Lani J.
Robek's has the best Acai bowl. I have gone around the island tasting different shops...but this one has the best. The acai is very different from other places...its not like a smoothie, it has the texture of ice cream and so you don't feel like your eating a smoothie with a spoon! Less sugar and calories than Jamba and any other acai bowl!
(5)Kyle C.
I love the Awesome Acai from here and the owners are really nice. I take my grandparents here every morning after their walk around the mall. Go check this place out and support small businesses.
(4)Lofa L.
i love the acai bowls and smoothies from robeks. great way to beat the heat. Sometimes I wish I had bought two and put the extra one in the freezer for later. the staff is really helpful and friendly. I am also addicted to their pizza pretzels too.
(5)Claire T.
Y365C R2 #005/365 I've only tried the Acai bowl from here & I am addicted, I am huge on Acai, bowls, smoothies, down to every bit of granola, I LOVE ACAI. Although, this is not an Acai bowl from Diamond Head Cove health bar. This is its own Acai made of a sorbet consistency, also there are 3 Acai smoothie, if you prefer to drink the goodness. The Acai does my tummy good, totally worth the price, the sizes are small compared to what an average bowl usually has to offer at most places. The Acai sorbet is AMAZING, I absolutely love it every time & I definitely found my new addiction ( I want one everyday or at least once a week. Beats being in the area, this will make up for not being able to go to Diamond Head Cove health bar more often since its in town. I am a true critic for Acai & again this is a great substitute/ treat for the usual take of Acai bowls. Its more like an Acai cup, but worth a shot if you've never had Acai before & I would say now my #2 on the island. I do have a preference & request for no bananas & more strawberries, but the original way is tasteful as well, I just love me my strawberries so the more the merrier ;) Another added plus to Robeks (ONLY LOCATION ON THE ISLAND), the employees are on it & so far have been good. Its located on the TJ MAXX side of Pearlridge Mall, the only downside is if you go during a time when the mall is busy it may make parking a bit of challenge other than that, I love me a Robeks Acai Cup!
(5)Kate T.
So tired of all the smoothie shops that end up putting tons of sugar and unnatural ingredients into their drinks? Trying to find that one shop thats healthy AND natural? Well look no further that Robeks! Robeks is conviently located in the mall so after a grueling day of shopping at the mall and fighting the crowds you can sit down and have a nice all natural smoothie. The staff is knowledgable here and the smoothies are healthy too. If i had to pick between Jamba and this place I'd totally pick Robek's over it. Next time I'm here I'm going to have the acai bowl!
(4)Elle U.
Best acai bowl! Tried many places, but this is the best by far!
(5)Jennifer G.
It's good, but not as good as Lanikai Juice. I got Acai bowl with fruit and granola on top. The blueberries were frozen and their granola isn't very good. I will stick with Lanikai.
(3)Sukatuh S.
On a recent trip to San Diego, a friend bought me an Acai Bowl from Robeks. It came topped with banana slices and granola. I've heard about Acai Bowls on Yelp and in real life, but I've never had one before. It was very delicious: a tasty, healthful snack. Me: "Is there a Robeks in Hawaii?" Friend: "They used to have one in Market City, but it went out of business." Back in Hawaii, I hit up just about every juice bar and smoothie shop in town, but I couldn't find an Acai Bowl that came close to the one from Robeks in terms of flavor, quality, and consistency. Months later, I was surprised to find there was a Robeks in the Pearlridge Shopping Center. When I saw my friend, we had the following conversation... Me: "Did you know there's a Robeks at Pearlridge?" Friend: "Yes, I knew that." Me: "Why didn't you tell me about the other location?" Friend: "I never go to Pearlridge, so, for me, it doesn't exist." Me: "Why are we friends, again?"
(5)Laura R.
Love this place.
(5)Shan S.
Super Acai bowl from ROBEKS is the ishhhh... seriously not playing! Go get one! The fruit is super fresh and the bananas are the perfect consistency, not all mushy and nasty. The blueberries and strawberries are super dee-lish, fresh and big! The Acai itself is to die for! It is like a soft sorbet, which won't melt and get all goopy and warm and runny like other acai' bowls do at other places i've been to... (especially jamba juice, I will NEVER get an acai bowl from jamba juice) It taste so refreshing and energizing and you get very full after it. I gave 4 starts out of 5 ONLY because I wish they gave more granola... but then again, I am a granola lovah!!! teehee ;) try it you will not be dissapointed.. guarantee!!!
(4)Tim G.
I don't normally come to these smoothie/juice bars, simply because I don't care for that sort of thing, but when it comes to acai bowls, there is no place better than this. Yes, I have been to Blue Hawaii Lifestyle, and that used to be my favorite, but this place is way better. Hands down, best acai bowl.
(5)Wayne S.
There was a guy sweeping and when we ordered he stopped sweeping and picked up the blender container. I had to ask him if he could wash his hands and he gave me a pissed smirk before he washed his hands. Wassup! Then he goes to make our drinks and acai bowl I notice that he has gloves on as he is making the bowl but I now believe that the gloves are to protect his hands and not for sanitary prepration methods. He has the gloves on and he is touching everything with his hands as well as cutting the fruits and making our bowl. When he finished then he took it off. Glad he kept his hands sanitary. I used to really like this place. seems as with the economy this place is going down too.
(2)Stan M.
I have walked past this place a few times, I always wanted to check it out. Well, today I finally stopped and tried it. WOW, it was the best smoothie I have ever had. I had the Pro Arobek. It was very smooth. Had a great flavor. I will definately return here. Probably several times a week. lol
(5)Jovelle N.
My daughter and I love coming here for the acai bowls! Beats Jamba Juice and Lanikai Juice!
(5)Jane L.
I love this place. This is wayyyyy better than Jamba Juice. Thier drinks are smooth and don't have that grainy texture that Jamba has. I love all the different flavors they have. Service is always great here, never had any problems.
(5)Caroline F.
I always come here to get an Acai Bowl for energy after a long day of shopping! Their acai bowl is one of the best Ive ever tasted Always super fresh, and lots of banana and good granola! It also is one of the prettiest ones too! I'm not sure if they are the owners, but every time I have been there the nicest Asian couple is there, and they are always SO friendly! Quality, healthy snacks and amazingly great service here at Robeks!
(4)Marichu Joy S.
I just had an acai bowl to share with my bf today, and in the end I ate the whole thing. He only had about 5 spoonfuls. OH MY GOSH!!!! The acai bowls here are so yummy! The difference with the acai bowls here is that they do not top it off with honey. It honestly does not need it. I like the acai mix that they use here. I was told they use apple juice in their mix.
(5)Jaylynn A.
I pretty much live and breathe for the acai bowls with fresh fruit. So much better then jamba. A+++++++++++
(5)Josh S.
Sits inside of Pearl Ridge Shopping Center. I wouldn't venture all the way to Robeks to try their Acai Bowl, but I had some business to take care of at Waipahu on boring Wednesday night, so decided to stop here and experience them. It's an unique experience to the Acai Bowl. Prior to coming here, I'd tried half dozen acai bowls from Honolulu/Waikiki neighborhoods ranged from Lanikai, Blue Hawaii, to Jewel or Juice. I experienced similar Acai Bowl, but I got something very different. Their acai bowl comes in ice-cream like scoops. Perhaps, I should have realized before ordering since the description clearly says 3 scoops of Acai.... I didn't know what that meant -- now I do. For a mere $7, it was a small Acai Bowl. And it was the largest size they've got. It's not fancy at all. Standard acai bowl -- granola, strawberry, blueberries, and bananas -- lots of it. Robeks also serve the bowls in Styrofoam bowl. With their ice-cream like acai, it makes harder to enjoy the acai bowl and i was very afraid that I'd break my plastic spoon. The bowl is also somewhat narrow and tall, rather flat and wide to enjoy acai bowl like most people do with cereals. Not very good ergonomically designed. This ranks below average for my acai bowl expedition. I still love acai bowl and it was an interesting taste experience. I also tried their smoothies and those were great. Better than Jamba Juice I'd say.
(3)K C.
not as great as i thought it would be. never coming back here again.
(1)Mark M.
I just picked up one of their acai bowls yesterday because I read that eating fruits are good for people who have the stomach flu. Yes, I'm that lucky. I decided to try it since I've seen a lot of positive reviews and some people were even saying that their acai is the best that they've ever had. Well, it wasn't the best that I've ever had, but it's still very good. The acai here is very sweet in itself. I guess that's why they don't put a lot of honey in their bowl unlike Island Vintage Coffee. The bowl at Robeks has your typical fare of bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and granola. I'll admit, I've had some watery and runny acai before but not here. Robeks acai has the best consistency I've encountered. It's just too bad that you can't take Robeks consistency, the amount of granola from Island Vintage, and the taste of the acai from Fresh Cafe. That would be the best. Acai. Ever.

I got the super acai bowl during my visit here today. It was surprisingly filling. I guess I'm still traumatized from the jamba juice experience from the last time I had an acai bowl. The bowl gets 2 thumbs up for presentation and tastes great. It doesn't beat out kava roots but the location is easier to get to because it's in pearl city. The staff was also very nice to me. I think they knew I was drafting my yelp review though. XP

Robeks Acai ENERGY Bowls are the best by far!!!! I love their Acai that's in a form of an ice cream scoop. So yums & refreshing! I've tried Blue Hawaii, Lanikai Juice, Down to Earth, Jamba Juice, & Kokonuts. My mission is to try all Acai Bowls on the island. So far Robeks is the best in my opinion.

talk about a meal in a cup that actually keeps you full! when i first went there i was skeptical of their health craze but after seeing all the fruits they pile into your smoothie with no hidden added ingredients i ordered the emporer acai with greek yogurt and then later returned to try everything on the menu! this place blows jamba juice and starbucks out of the water for my morning pick me ups. they dont give you any energy and never keep you satified but this place has me so satisfied i acidentally skip a meal!

Great place for smoothies! Friendly customer service & super fast w/ my order. Not as crowded as Jamba which is great. Their orange freeze taste way better than the orange dream machine from Jamba.

I stopped by here today to get my fix on acai. Which I was craving for a while. They are located inside of the mall and you can see there sign in the parking lot of the shopping center, so it was easy to find. They sell smoothes, snacks, drinks, acai, and some pretzels. Pros: No line, Ample parking and reasonable price. Friendly staff, and fast service. Sells Acai bowls. Cons: They don't put much fruits on it, 1 strawberry, 2 blue berries, and maybe less than half a banana. The taste is ok, not sure what they put in their acai, on the sweet side. I got a regular Acai bowl for just over $6. Which is not bad, considering most places are closer to $8. It satisfied my craving for acai for the moment, but I had better. This is the only place near where I live that I know that sells Acai bowls. If I am craving one I would probably come back if I don't feel like driving to someplace else.

Yummy smoothies and bowls that are in a completely different realm then jamba. Healthy and fresh means you can walk out feeling good about what you bought. The price's are reasonable considering the quality and deliciousness of what you get. The staff was decent but not overly friendly, regardless, I'll be back!

one of the fresh tasting Acai bowls I've ever had, they're acai is as soft as ice cream and not watery unlike some vendors who don't blend the ingredients very well. fresh fruit and fresh granolas with some honey...i'm craving some now, wished they had a town location nearby

My favorite Acai bowl place is Kokonuts in the Koko Marina Shopping Center, but since it's too far away from my house this is my second favorite! Much better than Jamba Juice.

Love the blueberry yogurt, green tea smoothies and especially the banana split smoothies! You can actually taste the chocolate AND the bananas! So refreshingly yummy, I would go back just for these three every weekend!
