Hawaiian Crown Plantation

You can’t beat the fresh pineapple smoothie here but the ice coffee was rather average. I thought the coffee would be much better oh well.

Deliciously healthy Acai bowl. Loved the touch of macadamia nuts. The green smoothie was the best smoothie I have ever tasted. This was a great find for my wife and I to have as a meal replacement.

Fresh, made to order, worth the wait! I come here for three things:
–THE best pineapple I’ve found anywhere, period.
–Acai bowls — so incredible good, and healthy enough to justify.
–Local coffee, poured over and made just for you.
You will NOT be disappointed in this place (unless you’re incapable of being made happy, which sadly is the case with many people these days…). If you’re headed home, you should bring at least two pineapples. They are allowed through the agricultural checkpoints at the airport, so you can legally and safely take them back home! My friends and family concur that this pineapple is AMAZING. It is low in acid, not overly sweet, perfectly juicy, and it’s absolutely the best — as I’ve said many, many times.
I’ll be back to this place EVERY time I visit HNL!!!

Friendly service with delicious fresh ingredients. I ordered the piña colada and hubby ordered the ice tea. My piña colada was creamy and smooth, perfect amount of ice. Hubby’s ice tea included passion fruit tea with fresh pineapple juice. Really delicious, never seen him scarf down a fruity drink that quickly.

So glad my boyfriend stumbled upon this place! It is so good there should be a flashing light that says «Come In For The Best Pineapple Sorbet In Oahu!»
The worker gave us dried pineapples to try & it was super good. No sugar is added, just all natural perfection. Mmm!
Pineapple Sorbet with Pineapple Juice inside of a Pineapple: I cannot get enough of this! The best sorbet I have ever had, so refreshing! The juice was fantastic, so fresh!
They also sell small pineapples which are the cutest things!

Amazing Acai Bowl to start your morning .
Large is $ 9.42 with tax. Super friendly staff always smiling

This place has the friendliest staff members ever. Everytime we stop by, it’s a different person working the counter. But always smiling and nice!
The açai bowls are amazing here. The fruits are always fresh and everything just tastes soooo good! We already came here 3 times within our stay.
They even have cute little pineapples to buy or you can ship a case of them back home if you’re visiting. $ 45 bucks chose between 3 different sizes & they do inspections (with a sticker) so you don’t have to worry about anything.

Really cute mom and pop speciality shop. They sell locally grown pineapples and dried pineapples here.
My bf and I came in to try the acai bowl. The regular was $ 8 and large was $ 9 so we went with the large. Overall it was good but we had much better at island vintage coffee so I have to go with3 stars. The acai base is pre made rather than made fresh on the spot. They also don’t give you too much fruit except pineapples.
The people working here were super friendly though and even gave us samples of the dried fruit to try.

Small little shop you’ll almost miss in a sort-​run down building. Stopped by only for a fresh squeezed pineapple juice. Did not disappoint! Fresh, delicious and refreshing. They have additional juices, smoothies, and acai bowls. Friendly service.

The Acai Bowl is absolutely amazing. Acai + granola +very fresh fruits = a new favorite meal/​dessert.
I would get the Acai Bowl every time, but they also have fresh smoothies and coffee is you sound line to broaden your horizon.
Great experience here. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

Large pineapples are $ 8, they have a carry on option box with 2 large pineapples or 3 medium ones or 5 small ones I think for $ 20. You can also get them shipped to your house for $ 45. I suggest you walk down the street and go to the supermarket where it’s only $ 0.99 per lb. you can shove it in your suitcase and bring it back. I asked the person working at agricultural check at the airport.
We got a small acai bowl ($ 8) which came with strawberries, blueberries, granola, and pineapples. It was a small bowl that was filled to the top so it was kind of hard to eat. We got two pina coladas and saw that they used a lot of pineapples in the drink. We hardly tasted any coconut in it though. They also have iced tea, pineapple juice, pineapple sorbet, green smoothies and other drinks
We enjoyed our pina coladas and will be back before we leave!

Friendly and delicious, healthy breakfast can’t go wrong! You must have the Acai bowl and do not add or take away anything, the piña colada smoothie is to die for !

Pricey and very pricey but so good. You can taste the whooping load of pineapple that they put into their products. Not only was my pineapple sorbet ice flavorful, but it had chunks of small pineapple bits in it. My was it small tho. i can finish 3 of them. My bf had the smoothie which was also loaded with taste of fresh pineapple but not as sweet. Spoil yourself once here.

Sooooooo Good. Sipped on a Pina Colada smoothie in a pineapple shell. Perfect for morning vibes, super fresh, super tasty, super healthy.

Came here for some quick smoothies.
Pina Coloda $ 6
Made with real fruit and goodies. It was very freshing and tasty.
Frozen Kona Mocha $ 6.50
This coffee smoothie was very light and simply tasted like coffee that was watered down by the blended ice. Not recommended.
Overall, this place is ok. A little bit expensive.

Attention everyone! This store sells pineapples for $ 1. Yes, that is correct — $ 1 pineapples. The $ 1 bargain is only applicable for the small, cute, and tiny pineapples. These pineapples are the size of a baby soccer ball, but the taste is like biting into a cold, sweet pineapple sorbet. The pineapples at Hawaiian Crown Plantation are the sweetest I’ve ever tasted.
There are also bigger pineapples sold for $ 4 and $ 3. For $ 2 or $ 3 extra, the blue apron people will cut and bag your pineapple pieces. The store is very tiny just like the pineapples, but surprisingly there are a lot of stuff sold at this store. Fresh coconut water from a real coconut, pineapple sorbet stuffed inside a fresh pineapple fruit, acai bowls, exquisite chocolate bars, dried pineapples, and pastries could be found inside this tiny pineapple planet.

I guess I have a knack for finding tiny coffee shops or something. This establishment is about 200 square feet and has six stools along two drink rails. If you decide to sit to eat and drink you can either sit facing the barista or sit facing the window. When I was there three of the six places were taken. If they had a full-​house it would be very crowded.
The coffee shop is owned by a pineapple farmer and has a variety of fruit, coffee, candy and other items for sale. The barista was friendly, I think he said his name was Jeremy. We talked about living in Honolulu and retirement and other things you’d talk about in a tiny space with someone you just met. Coffee was good and he also made me an Acai Bowl which is a fruity breakfast type item, but it made a nice of of the day healthy-​sweet treat as well.
I might go back, problem is that as a local, I doubt I’d buy any of the packaged souvenir/​gift shop type items and because I live right around the corner and there is not really a compelling reason to sit there are drink coffee, I’d probably just make at home.

Based on Unilocal reviews, this was our pick to get a smoothie. We were warmly greeted immediately with a welcome & sweet pineapple sample! What a great start! The pineapple was so sweet. Way better than any we’ve ever had from a store.
We tried the piña colada smoothie & acai bowl. OMG! They were both amazing! Seriously, the acai bowl was perfect! Fresh fruit mixed with the granola, little bit of cacao nibs on top was so delicious!
So glad we came here! Everyone should come here for a healthy, refreshing treat!

Walking distance from our hotel.
Super fresh Pineapple Juice. So pure, clean, and refreshing. Employees are sweet and quick. Little counter seating is available inside. They will even ship pineapples to the mainland. They have a variety of smoothies, Acai Bowl, coffee, baked goods, and dried fruits. Super close to Waikiki Beach too.
Grab yourself a cool drink and enjoy!

Hawaiian Crown Plantation is located on the corner of Kaiulani Avenue and Kuhio Avenue in Waikiki. Although the address listed is on Kaiulani, the shop is more on the Kuhio side and had it not been for the helpful employee who answered the phone, I might have never found this hole-​in-​the-​wall gem of a spot in Waikiki. I called to see where they were located because I walked up Kaiulani Ave and couldn’t find their shop so the employee walked outside while she had me on the phone and waved me down. Their shop is really cute and has a homey and boutique look to it with nice displays and a couple of counters and stools.
I do love a good acai bowl and although I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of them, change is always good. I found a nice change at Hawaiian Crown Plantation because they put a nice twist on the ever so popular fruit bowl. Their acai bowl comes topped with not only the bananas, strawberries and blueberries, but it also comes with pineapple chunks, crush macadamia nuts, cacao nips, and a sprig of mint. This totally makes for a tasty, cool refreshing treat and I probably never would have thought of putting mac nuts and cacao nips over the acai. Cacao is usually bitter but their employee told me that they soak them in agave to take away the bitterness.
Pineapples are their signature, hence the name, Hawaiian «Crown» Plantation. They offer samples of their dried pineapple which is to die for. The pineapple is dehydrated and there isn’t any added sugar because it already has the perfect sweetness to it. They sell fresh pineapples priced by size and also offer shipping services through FedEx. (Check in on you Unilocal app for a discount off the shipping). You can add also add pineapple smoothies (among others) and fresh pineapple juice to the list as well.
In addition to the pineapples, they sell coffee, coffee beans (grown locally), chocolate (also grown locally) and baked goods like scones, coconut macaroons and their signature Pineapple Oatmeal Cookie. The cookie is amazing-it’s soft, chewy and it’s topped with a slice of dried pineapple and I could have eaten a dozen of them. I tried the chocolate chip scone which was topped with icing and I would have to say it was hands down, the best scone I’ve ever had. I’m not a huge fan of scones because they’re usually too dry or hard for my liking but their chocolate chip scone was really soft, moist and sweet but not overbearingly sweet.
Parking is pretty much nonexistent in this area unless you park at one of the nearby hotels or at the zoo. If I worked or lived closer to the area and parking was better, I could see myself at HCP several times a week. Definitely a hit in my books and it’s comforting knowing that not all businesses in Waikiki are tourist traps with mediocre customer service.
P. S. Ask for a stamp card!
