Outside the Dior boutique at Ala Moana Center is the Instagram-friendly Cafe Dior, a picture-perfect setting for equally photogenic lattes, teas and a handful of sweet treats such as an acai bowl ($19) with such potentially beautifying ingredients as collagen, rose- coconut water, almond milk, an array of antioxidant berries and organic bee pollen. Extravagant, but delicious with a fresh granola crunch I have yet to see in any other acai bowl.
The cafe also delivers an upscale take on POG with a Dior POG shave ice ($19) with fresh passion fruit, orange and guava, gelato and condensed milk.
It can be quite hot at the cafe now that 90-degree weather has become our daily reality, but the fashionable are always willing to endure for their art.
If it gets too hot, cool down with a cold rose latte ($15).
The cafe is in the Ewa Wing where the Magnolia Bakery take-out shop used to be.
