Weekend Spotlight
Local Acai Shop Expands San Clemente Area Reach
360 Camino de Estrella, San Clemente
Since 2016, Alohana Acai Bowls has endured a story full of colorful twists and turns to grow to a popular business with numerous locations, including one in Capistrano Beach that opened in April.
Robert O’Quinn found himself slinging acai bowls after years in the surf and outdoor industries, sparked by responsibility at a fateful trade show that saw him handling a food truck. He spoke with others who were in the business and thought it would be a good idea to open one of his own, so he conceptualized a menu that would be green, healthy, and consistent with his “surfer vibe.”
Click the link below to read the full San Clemente Times story and find out more about Alohana Acai Bowls.
