Maui Wowi Hawaiian Coffees & Smoothies

Main reason how we ended up here, was the powerful butter smell along the pier. Service was great! The guy working that night, gave us the opportunity to sample the different popcorn flavors. We mixed, traditional butter with cheddar popcorn.
Small: $ 4.50
The popcorn helped fill our mini hunger void.

Yum! The smoothies here are delicious and the popcorn is fresh! They offer a Unilocal discount and discounts on refills!

I rarely give negative reviews but this place deserves it, customer service was terrible. We ordered some popcorn and it tasted like we were eating plastic. Smoothies were ok but too expensive.

Maui Wowi’s is a slightly more expensive version of Jamba Juice that becomes a pretty good value if you can get a coupon. I used a Unilocal couple to get $ 10 worth of food for $ 6 and I see other reviews who bought Groupons at even cheaper prices. Definitely go if you get one of these deals, otherwise, it’s just an overpriced smoothie shop for tourists.
There are lots of options that AREN’T on the menu, and I think the guys here will make whatever you want. The «Tiki» size comes with a reusable plastic cup for $ 7 (as of 9÷16÷2014) and to be honest, I kinda like my goofy looking cup. I haven’t tried dishwashing it yet, but it looks fairly sturdy. My smoothies here have always been good (it’s hard to screw up blended fruit) and I’ll probably be back if they continue to have Groupons/​Yelp deals, but if not, I’ll probably stay away.

Great service, amazing smoothies and blended coffees. Buy a reusable cup and get 4 dollar are refills.
Very yummy

I have to say GREAT service.
The reason why I check this place out was mainly because I saw a $ 5 for $ 10 worth of beverages deal on Groupon. I was on a Groupon shopping spree last year and for some odd reason I bought 3 of these deals. I was going to the 7D experience at the Pier and this place is right there so might as well use it the same day. Tried two different smoothies. I don’t remember exactly what I have gotten but it must have been decent since I don’t have a bad imagine of it. A year later I totally forgot about the other two I still have left. In the beginning I was thinking I wasted only $ 10, so never bother to used or cared about them. Yesterday I was in the area and shockingly remembered about my Groupon. The cashier there was nice, he tried let us use or Groupon that expired last year. He did not get frustrated or anything even though he had to contact his boss on how he can use it. I think we ordered a hot Koko with dark chocolate? It was tasty, not overly sweet. I liked it a lot especially on a cold night. I did not drink too much of it only because I did not want to consume to much sweets. I will be coming again once more since I do have one more Groupon left lol. I’m trying to use it all up.
I think the drinks are decent here. Service is even better. Will come mainly for good service if I’m in the area and need something sweet to drink. =)

Review on popcorn. This store was calling my name. I could smell the popcorn every time I passed. I had to get some. Got the better butter flavor. It tasted like target popcorn. Definitely didn’t taste as good as it smelled. Waste of money.

Super nice and the smoothies were thick and delicious. If you buy a bag of popcorn it’s $ 2 – 4 for a refill FOREVER. They weren’t the cheapest but he’s on the wharf what do you expect?

I barely write reviews but this store deserve to be reviewed based on their customer service, so that more people will be aware of what they will deal with when they walked in in this store!
Bought a smoothie and some popcorn for our kids. It was ok nothing special but experienced the worst customer service! Totally agree with the negative reviews about them being totally rude. Omg! The guy in the counter that day just threw a rather discriminating comment against himself! So stupid. We didnt even say anything to him that would have him react that way. I was so pissed, I walked away! But my so very understanding bf was so nice to deal with him and just changed the topic. I cant imagine him talking to a customer that way. I’ve worked as a customer service before so I know how to be in both position, but would never ever be like that to a customer. Plus the lady who was making the drink was totally so rude and unfriendly too. Argh! I totally cant get over them.

Horrible service! We got a Groupon and had to wait 45 minutes after multiple times asking where is our order… Not even one apology from the workers there! Terrible experience and attitude we got. WON’T step there again!

Came here from a Groupon my friend purchased. We both got blended coffees. I had the mocha and she had cookies and crème. The place is located on Pier 39, near the back, next to the carousel. It’s easy to spot and the location is decent if you don’t mind walking thru a busy tourist trap.
The coffees were good — not too sweet, just right. The prices were average given the location. It’s not some place I’d tell everyone to try but if you’re in the area, give them a shot.

Its supper sweet. We asked the guy if he adds sugar to the smoothies and he said no. It was so sweet to the point I felt like vomiting. I had to throw away 5 $. not going there anymore

Service: No Stars
Smoothie: No Stars
Ordered a Passion Papaya smoothie, and it is the worst smoothie I have ever had. We came in around 9:30 PM, with 30 minutes until closing, but the guy behind the counter acted as if the store had been closed already. He gave us a horrible attitude. I would have preferred to be refused service than spend $ 8 on a crappy drink to be thrown in the trash — I literally could not take more than a few sips without gagging.

Had the small tropical temptation, which was I think $ 5. Pretty much price to be expected when you are out at the pier. Mine did not taste likes bananas, it was pretty good. Not amazing but it was a good smoothie.

Saw this place and thought they would have the normal run of the mill stuff. I was wrong. They had some great flavors and mixes.
I had the kiwi, lemon, lime and black raspberry smoothie! Great taste.
My son had the lemon run, which was no dairy.
Price was reasonable. The theme was nice and had a couple tables.

Stopped here to grab a smoothie while wandering Fisherman’s Wharf on a sunny August day. I love everything to do with coconut, so I went with the Pina Colada. The smoothie was very refreshing, but not particularly coconuty? I’m not sure what it tasted like, but it wasn’t piña colada. I wasn’t quite sure what fruit was used in it. Overall I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t really what I was expecting.
Prices were a bit high, but understandably so considering it is a highly frequented tourist area.

My husband surprised me with a Pina Colada smoothie while I was shopping at Pier 39, after a long walk all the way from Chinatown. Don’t know if it was me being tired from the walk or what but this smoothie was one of the best that I’ve ever had. I usually wouldn’t buy a smoothie, but would opt for an ice cream for a sweet treat. My husband and I loved our Pina Colada’s! He upgraded our drinks to the totum pole cups and it was worth every penny! Mmmm mmmm!

Giving the place 1 star is being way to generous. While spending the day with my kids at the Wharf, I bought a Groupon Now ($ 7 for $ 10) since my kids wanted smoothies. When we went to redeem it they started making up rules that was not mentioned on the voucher. I ordered a large and a medium smoothie. The guy at the counter said no, the Groupon order has to include a small. I said its not printed anywhere. He tried to call the owner to ask but couldn’t reach him and said «dont worry about it». So then I thought everything was OK, and paid for the additional cost beyond $ 10 (another $ 5.xx). Well guess what, when the order finally came, he gave me a large and a small. WTF? Someone came in behind me and I had my kids with me and didnt want to make a scene, else I would have refused the order and asked for my money back.
Ironic part was, my kids couldn’t finish their shared large smoothie, and I couldn’t even finish the small. Just to put this in context, each of us can easily polish off a large from Jamba. So on top of being conned, the smoothie itself sucked anyways. Go figure. Run, dont walk, away from this place!

expensive!
Medium-​sized smoothie for $ 8.75 that tasted like mostly banana… yum! except we ordered orange mango. And, no, they didn’t make a mistake on our order… maybe they added the banana for extra filler. The $ 8.75 came with a reusable tiki plastic cup… your choice of bright orange, pink, green or blue.

They were handing out samples on the pier of their Blackberry Banana smoothie. It was delish, so me and some of my classmates decided to go inside and get ourselves smoothies.
The atmosphere is really cool. I feel like I’ve been transported to the wonderful island of Maui. I ordered the Tropical Temptation. Almost all their smoothies have banana, and they are overripe bananas so if you’re not a huge fan of that fruit steer clear from this place or opt for popcorn or coffee instead. My tropical temptation was okay… it would have been better if it had less banana!
The drinks come with a cute little umbrella. Sadly mine fell While I was in there :(But one of the guys swiftly came over and plopped a new one in my drink. Now that’s service I didn’t even have to ask!
