Nalu Health Bar & Café, known for its açaí bowls and healthy food offerings, is opening a new location at Waikiki Beach Walk. The business is set to open this fall and will front Lewers Street.
“Our fresh, made-to-order menu includes sandwiches, wraps, sal ads, fresh juices and smoothies. We’re beyond excited to open,” states Jota Munoz, Nalu co-owner. “The café also offers coffees, teas and special breakfast items. Organic ingredients are generously incorporated, whenever possible.”
“Since opening our first location in Kailua about seven years ago, we’ve always dreamed about opening Nalu in Waikiki,” adds Nalu co-owner Tommy Kloosterboer. “We can’t wait to serve the Waikiki community and visitor market.”
This will be Nalu’s fourth location and its first in Waikiki. To learn more, visit waikikibeachwalk.com.
