The quality of the food is incredible: all organic, made from scratch, and the employees take the necessary time to prepare it properly rather than just churning it out. The recipes are incredible. My parents are obsessed with their açaí bowls! I love the ramen! The environment is also really lovely and very friendly staff.

Love the small cafe vibe of this place! I got an açaí bowl with peanut butter. Kinda filling, actually. I’ve been here a few times and I always get a warm feeling. Will definitely be back again.

Beautiful! Light, airy, beachy vibes! I’m staying in DT Honolulu from San Francisco & have been coming everyday for the latte with added Lion’s Mane & Cordyceps. Very good for focus. Also got a lot of editing video work done on the comfy couches, they have extension cord outlets for your laptop & phone. The music is very mellow & nice too. On the days there, the guy was very nice & offered me a cold water & a sample of coconut protein energy bites. I recommend.

Went here for some acai bowls, totally did not disappoint! The highlight was definitely the Ramen, super thick and tasty. Just the right amount of spice. Cacao Bowl was also my favorite! Try it out when you visit. Shout out to the staff too, best location!!

My new favorite place to visit. It’s so inviting and calm when you first walk in and it’s one of the places I look forward to visiting during my work day. The açaí bowl is out of this world and I always pair with a latte or hibiscus sunrise tea. Got to see some avocado toast being served recently and just might have to give it a try with my next visit.

ALO at SALT is such a gem! The staff is incredibly warm, welcoming, and eager to serve. The interior of the café is thoughtfully decorated with the cutest bohemian-beachy style interior. The food at ALO is plant-focused with tons of flavorful, nourishing options. I highly recommend the Firecracker Tantan Ramen for a spicy, satisfying meal and the Sunrise Iced Tea for a refreshing drink. Theres seating indoors as well as a few little tables outside if you prefer to dine outdoors and soak up the vibe of the neighborhood. Definitely a go-to spot for a light feel-good meal! Highly recommend! We’ll be back!

This restaurant is amazing! The curry tantan ramen was delicious, with just the right amount of flavor, vegetables, and broth. The noodles that are locally supplied were phenomenal. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!
