Amazing coffee and matcha. Packed but calm.
Wow! Everything was 10/10. I love that they don’t use the normal torani or mornin syrup. I got a Iilikoi themed matcha and it was delicious. I also got a croissant sandwich that was really good. The sandwich was nicely cut in half (I hate biting into a whole sandwich) and had napkins at the bottom of the box. It’s the little things!!
Excellent coffee and outstanding, friendly and kind people. A must stop in Chinatown or wherever you are!!

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. Customers also enjoy the tasty banana bread, baked in-house, and the shop's local products. Po'ai also hosts community events like lei making workshops and drag brunches, making it a popular spot in Chinatown. The banana bread is perfectly moist, not too sweet, and you can actually taste the fresh banana in every bite. The lime coconut matcha is a dreamy combo of creamy coconut and smooth matcha, refreshing without being too sugary. The Pauahi Latte with oatmilk was amazing, with good flavor and amazing quality ingredients. Po'ai serves unique matchas, like one with macadamia nut and coconut cold foam, and others with pineapple lilikoi cold foam. The syrups are made in house. It offers options for quick takeaway or seating in their expanded space. The shop's cleanliness and authenticity add to its welcoming atmosphere.
