To paraphrase the old adage about catching lightning in a bottle, our Hawaiian-inspired acai bowls at Honolulu Coffee Vancouver are like capturing summer in a bowl.
We have four varieties (including a build-your-own option with eight different toppings), but one of the centrepieces are the fresh, plump British Columbia blueberries bursting with summer flavour. They offer a tart little treat atop a frozen base consisting of acai berries, strawberries, more blueberries, bananas, and apple juice, and sweetened with honey. Here’s how to make your own at home.
