80 Percent What You Eat is a laid-back cafe nestled right in Mākaha, serving up a mix of health-conscious eats and refreshing beverages that reflect the island’s vibrant spirit. Located just off Farrington Highway, it naturally draws a crowd looking for fresh, wholesome options after a morning surf or a day exploring the West Side.

The vibe here leans casual and welcoming, with most seating outdoors where you can soak in the Hawaiian sun and relax. It’s a spot where locals stop by regularly, whether for a morning açai bowl that’s tailored just right or a chilled smoothie to beat the midday heat. The kitchen balances island-inspired flavors with straightforward health foods—the kind of place you can get a solid dose of veggies and fresh fruit without fuss.

Menu highlights like the Tropical Bowl and Açaí Na Tigela showcase fresh, colorful ingredients that appeal to those mindful of what they eat but don’t want to compromise on flavor or portion size. For those who prefer something savory, wraps featuring chicken and avocado offer a satisfying, protein-packed alternative. The juice selection, especially the Tropical Tonic, stands out as a bright, citrusy option that complements the food well. It's a good stop for people prioritizing freshness, whether grabbing a quick bite before heading out or sitting down to catch up with friends.

Staff hospitality here tends to be warm and personable, reflecting a community-oriented mentality. The proximity to local resorts and the ease of access for travelers lends the place a diversity of patrons—from longtime Waianae residents keeping pace with the evolving local scene to visitors keen on a genuine taste of the island’s healthful side.

This spot is best enjoyed during sunny morning and early afternoon hours when the outdoor seating area is inviting and the pace is unhurried. It’s not a big indoor space, so if crowds gather, it keeps things social and open. Overall, 80 Percent What You Eat feels like a natural extension of the neighborhood — a place where healthful eating meets community roots, catering equally well to locals and thoughtful visitors who want to connect with Mākaha beyond the usual tourist trails.

As a local whose family has been part of the Waianae community for five generations, I can confidently say that 80 Percent What You Eat holds a special place in my heart. Growing up in Makaha, I've watched our neighborhood evolve, and its businesses like this that keep the authentic spirit of our hometown alive. My order never changes: their signature acai bowl, without granola, and a generous amount of peanut butter on top. It's pure perfection. The creamy, rich acai paired with that smooth peanut butter creates the most satisfying combination that keeps me coming back week after week. What I love most is how this cafe represents the best of local Hawaiian business - fresh ingredients, genuine aloha spirit, and a commitment to serving our community healthy, delicious food. Take your order to go and soak in our beautiful west side atmosphere while enjoying something that nourishes your body and soul. With deep roots comes a real appreciation for businesses that truly serve the community. Supporting 80 Percent What You Eat isn't just about getting an amazing acai bowl, it's about investing in our neighborhood and keeping local businesses thriving. This place proves that eating healthy doesn't mean sacrificing flavor or community connection. At the end of the day, I believe eating high quality ingredients will optimize longevity and that we should never place a price tag on health. Aloha!

Love this place. It's close to the Hawaiian Princess resort and it's super fresh food. Unlike the market next door, the employees are friendly and inviting. Great experience overall.

Absolutely recommend! The acai bowl was amazing!! So incredibly fresh and filling. The iced mocha was the perfect mix of chocolate and coffee. Most of the seating was outside so not much inside space but great if you want to sit in the sun and enjoy a refreshing smoothie.

We went here for some coffees. I thought they had latte, but I should’ve looked at the menu more closely so I got a brew coffee with almond milk and a Seagrass Shot. My husband ordered an Iced Mocha and we ordered an Aloha Smoothie for my son. Although I was disappointed, not to have a latte, the brew coffee with almond milk was still very good. My husband said the mocha was good but a little bit small for the price. The smoothie was very tasty however again for the price it seemed a little excessive for the size that we received. I realize they’re using wholesome ingredients and getting fruits and vegetables on the island may be more expensive than the mainland so trying to keep that in mind.

I stopped in for a butterfly effect tea. It is a healing tea for stress, anxiety and endurance. It starts off blue and then add the lemon and it turns purple. I love the heart shaped ice made of the tea so it doesnt get watered down & lasts longer. I like mine plain no agave or sweetener. I enjoyed looking at the historical pictures during my short wait. The service is true Aloha. Absolutely worth the drive out to Makaha. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back!

This is a little hole in wall Cafe with a very friendly service. We stumbled across this on our way to Airbnb and I am so glad we stopped. We loved the smoothie bowls, dairy free shakes and the paninis were absolutely delicious! I tried the special smoked tri-tip panini and my husband got the egg white panini which they customized and added grilled veggies. The toasted cheese and jalapeños on the panini bread were a total game changer. Highly recommend!
