Farmacy Health Bar Wailuku — Restaurant in Maui

TLDR; AMAZING ACAI Bowl, cute size names, Honolua Pretty Bowl is where it's at, if you have an allergy stress it when ordering, Expensive (Pretty bowl $10 without tax and cost of blueberries) .

Let me start by saying, I'm not really into Acai bowls but Farmacy has changed the way I view Acai Bowls. The worst part about having the best of something means that you can only come back to one place to get it again. Since I left Maui, I've been really craving Acai bowls, but no where else makes it as amazing as Farmacy!!!

I heard about this place from my friend the night before, but when we tried to go, it was sadly closed. I waited patiently for the next day to come to try it! There was plenty of parking on a Sunday afternoon on the side of the road. The store is a little small and has limited seating, but if you get there early enough, you'll have a seat by window.

The sizes small, medium, and large have cute names; Baby, Pretty, and Papa respectively. The size of the bowl also dictate how many fresh fruit toppings are allowed, like a pretty bowl allowed me 3 choices while the baby bowl only allowed me 2. The different sized bowls also means they are different prices, the prices in my opinion was a little expensive for an acai bowl, but I thought it was quite worth it. I ordered the Pretty Honolua Acai Bowl with blue berries, strawberries, and Lilikoi. Seeing as I'm slightly allergic to Cashews (an Oral Allergy), I asked for the granola on the side and not to be put into my Acai bowl because it contained toasted Cashews. When I got my bowl, It ended up having granola all over the bowl. Don't get me wrong, the bowl was looked amazing and was ready for it's close up. Being adventurous, I tried the granola and my reaction to the allergen wasn't so bad with the acai mixture. So I continued eating it, It was THAT good. My allergic reaction wasn't too severe, just an itchy tongue :(. Besides that mishap, the bowl was amazing!!! It was worth getting an itchy tongue for an hour!

The acai mix at the bottom was really good and fresh not like the back of a freezer like some smoothie's I've had in the mainland. It's made with strawberries, blueberries, bananas, coconut milk, macadamia nut milk, aloe vera, and sugar cane juice. Their granola was fantastic, not so fantastic if you are allergic to it, but it was still delicious and really crunchy! The rest of the toppings, (Local Honey and Goji Berries) were the perfect pairing with this bowl.

I definitely plan on coming back the next time i'm in Maui but I will have to reiterate to have the macadamia nut granola...

We were highly suggested this place from some friends because they said they had some really solid açaí bowls... and I am always looking for some really good açaí bowls!

From all the past places we have visited for açaí in Hawaii, I have been pretty disappointed, but we were told that the açaí here was some good stuff. At first, it was very confusing on how to order, and what was available, but the super pleasant and nice gent behind the counter helped us through everything.

We got a wai side bowl with mango, pineapple, and bananas, and then a cacao bowl with pineapple, blueberries, and bananas. The amount you get for the price is really good, and they really pack in a lot of amazingly tasty, juicy, and big pieces of fruit! The fruit was also insanely fresh, and I could eat the fresh fruit all day any day. The other fixings in the bowl were also really fresh and really solid.

Now, the actual açaí, the star of the dish was not bad at all. I've had a few açaí bowls prior to coming here, and I was highly disappointed in those, but the açaí here completely blows out the past açaí I have had on the islands. The açaí has a pretty good consistency, even though it was more on the watery side, it was still somewhat thick and has that sorbet consistency that I love. The taste itself was pretty good too, and I could definetly taste a little açaí in the mix.

Overall, I wasn't disappointed, and this was by far the best açaí we had on Maui. I love the quantity of what you get, and I love the amazing fruit on it. Definetly if you are in the area, you should give this place a shot, because they also have a wide variety of other...

No lamb or venison???? I was pleased to see they use compostable or biodegradable bowls etc. So few places do so its really nice to know its possible on Maui! More places should so kudos for that! I sought this place out because word of mouth it had fantastic reviews on the lamb and venison (knowing they were veggie primary). However this is apparently only at the up country location due to pressure from the vegans(?) Disappointing. I don't judge them... they can eat how they want. I like having a choice that includes avoiding too much soy and getting a filling meal without resorting to a massive amount of carbohydrates. I settled on a pono bowl. It involved coconut cauliflower soup with quinoa on the bottom and a salad on top. The salad was nice with a dollop of goat cheese but the soup and quinoa were too bland for me. I do tend to enjoy more seasoned / zesty meals though. I asked for hot sauce and got a little container of something that resembled pink applesauce. It was seasoned but doesn't count as hot sauce. Peppers are a vegetable right? I was also confused by the menu which seems to list the meat items even though they are not available. I asked the staff why they did this - instead of maybe graying out the items that are NOT available. Apparently the owner prefers the menu to be confusing. Will try the upcountry location...
