HI Cravings Windward, the acai-bowl outfit that first hit Oʻahu streets as a truck, has locked in a permanent home at Windward City Shopping Center in Kāneʻohe and quietly reopened on May 2. The jump from a limited pop-up schedule to a fixed counter brings longer hours, online ordering and a consistent day-to-day presence for the Windward side. Owner Raia Kawaa said the business signed a three-year lease and plans to stay in the shopping center for the foreseeable future.
New Windward Home And Extended Hours
HI Cravings temporarily closed in February to make the move, then reopened earlier this month, as reported by Aloha State Daily. The new counter sits next to Rainbow Crack Seed in Windward City, and Kawaa said, "It [our former location] was a good start for us, but it was temporary." The shift gives the team more predictable hours and a visible, walk-up location for local customers who want bowls without hunting for a truck or pop-up.
Menu Basics, Cookie Dough And Online Orders
The shop's online ordering page lays out HI Cravings' build-your-own approach, with bases such as acai, mango sorbet, coconut sorbet and strawberry guava sorbet, and notes that bowls come with granola and raw honey by default. Signature items include the Bliss bowl and a housemade cookie-dough side, and customers can place pickup orders through the business's ordering site. Prices start at about $7.80 for a snack-size bowl on the ordering page, with larger sizes available for higher prices, according to the shop's ordering menu.
From Truck To Storefront
HI Cravings first rolled out a truck in Kāneʻohe in September 2024 and then opened a storefront at 45-950 Kamehameha Hwy in March 2025, where it originally operated only Fridays through Sundays, as outlined by Aloha State Daily. The new Windward City location lists hours of 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays, giving East Oʻahu customers more chances to drop in. Kawaa said the move was designed to make ordering and pickup easier for both regulars and first-timers.
What The Opening Signals Locally
HI Cravings' shift into a full-time Windward counter comes as acai and superfood bowls continue to spread across Oʻahu, with recent openings from other operators in Waikīkī and beyond. For Windward residents, the new storefront means a steady nearby option for a quick, health-forward meal without relying on pop-up schedules.
