Po'ai by Pono Potions is a charming coffee shop situated in Chinatown, offering a peaceful environment ideal for studying or relaxing. The shop is known for its delicious drinks, including lattes, matchas, and mocktails, with the Pauahi being a personal favorite featuring their macadamia nut syrup, which is lightly sweet. Customers also enjoy the tasty banana bread, baked in-house by ‘Ulu and Kalo bakery, and the shop’s local products. The vanilla iced latte with honey and local-style syrups is a must-try, delivering a delightful burst of sweetness and coffee flavor. The shop's friendly service and made-to-order drinks ensure each customer gets the right balance of sweetness. Po'ai also hosts community events like lei making workshops and drag brunches, making it a popular spot in Chinatown.
