“I love coming here in a pinch. They are clutch when I need to make a quick run to get food. Only gripe is the app thinks this store is closed at 5pm on the weekend. The change was recent and they now open til 8 on weekends. Once this is fixed, I'll give it 5 stars all across the board.“
“I didn't experience dining here I just saw this Mcdonalds Store at NEX Honolulu when I was in Hawaii. I like to make a Review about this Store because I miss my Grandpa, which happened to be this store's former Crew. Yes! My Grandpa started working here when he was already 67 and Thank you for still accepting him despite of his Age.. and Because of that He can afford to Provide my needs in High School and College and even the Things I don't need but he wants me to have like PSP and stuff even he has a Cancer... But my sick grandpa didn't stop to work and the cancer didn't stop him either. That's why I adore him! He's a Strong man and still Smiling. The day after he died he ask me some food to eat you know what was that? Mc Cafe & Fries from his favorite fastfood Mcdonals then the day after He passed away. To the Best employee of the Month (I don' t know how many Month is that) JUN, I miss you and I love you. Thank you McDonalds for being part of his and our life.💖“
“Food and service was awesome. I can't stand burritos that are full of rice or potatoes. This isn't one of those. The hangover burrito was awesome! We also had the the B.E.A.S.T. and the croissant French toast. They were all amazing!“
“I went to a juice shop that I was interested in after hearing about it from a friend♪A juice shop...or rather a fruit shop? ?In addition to fruits, there are bottles like grandma's pickled plum juice, as well as all sorts of mysterious dried fruits, but juice seems to be overwhelmingly popular.The inside of the store isn't very large, but there are several people in line, and while you're in line, the person in front of you will give you a sample of the leftover drink you ordered in a small cup ❤︎They let me try it three times before it was my turn (lol)I ordered Power Green and my friend ordered Ginger Lemon Honey & Mint.When I asked about the difference, I was told that Power Green has the sweetness of mango and pineapple, while Ginger Lemon has the sweetness of honey.As a result, I liked the Ginger Lemon that my friend ordered, and she liked my Power Green?Both of these two have quite a Ginger effect.I'm a big fan of Ginger, so I'm happy about it, but my friend found it a little too strong.You can also adjust the amount of ginger when ordering.It looks like there are many other flavors to enjoy, so I'd like to come back a few times and try other juices ❤︎...While I say that, I always end up ordering only the things I like...?There are two sizes: small ($7) and large ($10), and the small one has plenty of volume, but if you bring a large jar , you'll get a $3 discount, making it the same price as the large one! !Next time I’m very excited to buy a jar ✨And when it comes to paying, it's better to pay in cash??Card fees will be charged for card payments.The staff are very nice and it's close to my home, so I think this will be my favorite.“
“A very cute cafe with a nice mix of different flavored drinks! Super cozy and I can see myself definitely being able to get some work done. The service was nice and answered all the questions I had for them. The drink itself tasted nice but I got a normal drink. I'll definitely try a different drink next time.“
“Food here was great!!!! so many options it was hard to choose one, I got the green onion pancake with provolone and bacon which was delicious. Also have to try the vanilla bean blended it was sooooooo good! Kevin was a great waiter, so nice and attentive!!Parking: Lots of spots“
“Very affordable drink and vegan food! The aunty and uncle is very friendly and offer very quick service. There is a parking lot with limited space, but can street park. There is a huge selection on the drinks (smoothie, milk tea, fruit tea, yogurt, milkshake, ice milk, and cheese foam) and Chinese vegan plate lunch for $13.95. So, if you ever want to get some greens while getting some boba, this is the place for you!“
“This awesome local breakfast and lunch spot was amazing! I stopped by for breakfast at least five times during my two week stay in Waikiki. Coffee was great, food was fast, and the music from the kitchen gave it a pop.Recommend highly- kimchi stir fry, brekkie wrap and sandwich, and the loco moco.“
“My first time visiting and tasting this. I had a Hojicha w/nama chocolate and added a light caramel drizzle. It was very creamy with a subtle nutty flavor. The chocolate was soft and melts in your mouth. Giving a 5 star since I have nothing to compare it to yet.“
“Veranda Afternoon Tea!! My friends and I were here for afternoon tea on Sunday and we loved it. They provided variety of the tea menus and we got the royal set for all of us. Everything was so good especially the local tea that you can only get here in Hawaii and nowhere else! And Ryan was taking care of us the whole time, very attentive and knowledgeable about food and drink here. Thumbs up!“
“Super unique shop, a bit small, they come and explain exactly how to order, show you each donut. To top it all the donuts are made fresh right in front of your face, you get to watch the whole process, and at the end you get a box full of piping hot donuts. Don't forget to grab a Purvé shirt with a glorious unicorn on it to wear to your next function. Not to mention super cold A/C ❄️❄️❄️“
“Super aesthetic coffee shop in Hawaii's Chinatown area. Some friends and I walked passed it and decided to try some of their coffee since it looked pretty interesting.I ordered the iced pauahi latte, which had macadamia nuts and hazelnut notes. It was delicious and hit the spot after a long day of exploring. All the drinks range from $5-$7 and you can choose what type of milk you'd like with no additional charge. They also sell jewelry, vintage clothing, and stationary by local artists, which were really cool to see!On a different note, I found a cute doggo that was just chilling at the shop haha. Would come back for sure!“

“An absolutely fantastic coffee and pastry that is a must stop while in Waikiki. It’s super popular, so be prepared to wait. The line moves quickly though, so definitely worth your time. The pour over was really good and the chai latte was excellent. The croissant was tasty but the thing I enjoyed most was the kouign-amann, which is a sweet cake made with laminated dough. I tried the strawberry lemon and it was fantastic. You must try it. Service was fast and friendly.“
“Order = 1 iced Lavender Latte 12 oz + 1 hot Lavender latte 16 oz.So tasty we lacked the time for a photo.Feeling satisfied and energized. Music selection was on point for the vibes.Staff were kind and pleasant to interact with.Loved that are open at 630am.“
“Incredible food and friendly service. I cannot impress thru words how awesome Chelsea is. She went thru the entire menu and spoke on any dish I asked about. This is our second time as the first time was take out and the food was incredible. I dined in for breakfast and the food was incredible again. We moved here from Europe a few years ago and really appreciate the healthy style of cooking they do versus the normal sugar / salt / fat / fried food. All I have to say is come and just come and try it. It is great.Finding Sweet Corner Cafe is a little tricker. It is down the inclined drive and in the basement of the building off the street. There is a vertical banner with a Lucky Cat at the top of the drive by the street. I just parked on the street and walked down the incline to the entrance on the side of the building. There was a cat (Biggie) hanging out by the door and Sweet Corner Cafe is just down the hall with a sign above the door.“
“Came here for lunch on a weekday. It was bustling but efficient.I got the club sandwich and I have to say, pretty damned tasty!! I love a good club sandwich. This had fresh tomatoes, fresh soft avocado, nice meats, and the bacon was perfect with just the right amount of crunch.The bagel it came on was delicious as well. It came with a tiny salad which had very fresh greens.I'd come back here in an instant! The place is kept spotless and service was friendly and professional.“
“A wonderful place! The cats are very well cared for and loved, the staff is just fantastic. We adopted a lovely older cat named Jolene and she has been a wonderful addition to our ohana. She was a little shy at first, but quickly warmed up and has become very playful and affectionate with us. That speaks to how well-cared-for she was. We would have never found her if not for the people at Popoki and Tea cat cafe.. And local broadcaster KGMB for featuring them. Her adoption fee was $0 because someone had already donated to pay for her adoption, so in turn we paid the adoption fees for another cat that needs a loving home. A few of the cats there are available with no adoption fee so if you're interested and money, is a concern this is a good option.“
“Been looking for a location that makes a good Açaí bowl and was told about this location.You get to pick your type of bowl and customize how you want it prepared. They made it super fast.It was really good. Will definitely be coming back to get another.Only bad part is finding a place to park. You’ll have to drive into the parking deck around back ($2 for 30 mins) and go down to lower level to find the small location. It’s on the street side when you’re looking for it.“

“My favorite place to get coffee! Cute little shop with welcoming workers who are very kind and efficient. This shop also has a cute outdoor seating area. Every coffee shop I go to, I always try the iced mocha but nothing compares to bean about town's iced mocha! I don't know what's in it but it's so addicting“
“Small cafe with limited seating, inside the HiClimb location, but if you're in the area, this is the best place for a diverse and tasty menu. Vegan options included. Limited food and baked goods but highly recommend trying them because they are SO good. Whether or not I'm going climbing, I'd still rather stop here than anywhere else. If you're into D&D, they also have game nights. Don't sleep on this place! Very welcoming to the geek community.“
“9Bar is my favorite local coffee shop and place to hang out. I cannot say enough good things about everyone who works here. The best coffee on the island, made by the best baristas on the island. Excellent music.Thank you to Tracey, Kayden, Krystn, Tina and everyone else for always making me feel welcomed and at home.“
“This place is a tiny little shack in a parking lot and it really packs a punch. We parked at the Taco Bell and walked to it. The girl working was super nice and told us about what was in the drinks. I got the coconut cloud chai which has some spiciness but more as an after flavor. The coconut cream is super yummy. My husband got a vanilla bean and brown sugar latte and it was great. Defiantly recommend going here.“
“I enjoyed it so much. The store was clean so I had a refreshing morning, they were friendly and the food was delicious. This is my first time in Haoi with such a clean store, dishes, and food. I had a very satisfying morning. I think Koreans will like it too!“
“The acai bowl was pretty bomb! One of the best I've ever had if I'm being honest. Got the bowl with all bananas and cocoa nibbs and almond butter. There is no parking nearby that you don't have to pay for. I had to walk a pretty distance to get here but it was almost worth it.The bowls are pretty pricey but they're a decent size. I was able to share with a friend after eating a steak plate.The service there was mediocre. Don't expect good service there. The workers were all pretty young and blasting music I could barely hear them speak.“
“Love the food and drinks here, very flavorful and good portions. The food does take a while to get to you even during their slower part of the day so make sure to get a cookie while you wait if you’re very hungry, their baked goods are also excellent. It is very noisy with the street traffic, I wish they would close the door.“

“Love the green goddess salad. Usually get it with the tomato soup. Service was fast and friendly. Someone on the staff was having trouble with the remote control window shades, which are essential during the sunset hour. They kept going up and down which was a little distracting. This place can get a little noisy when there are large groups or families, due to the floor to ceiling windows, but otherwise, it's one of my go-to places for reliable service and delicious food.“
“Lovely friendly staff!.. great coffee and food..We stopped in here several times during a week in Honolulu and were always greeted with warm hospitality. The space is bright and clean, with a cool mural.. the vibe is just a little “corporate” but in a local small business kinda way, so it works..Definitely recommend.“
“Passed this place by for months because I didn’t care for the “pro-Jesus” Bible thumping verse on the window outside but decided to overlook that this morning to see if it was as cute inside as it was outside and boy what an experience! Except for the Christian smut this place is a feast for the eyes and cute as HELL! Very cutesy but tastefully Sanrio/Harajuku oriented literally from top to bottom. My wallet was opening up all by itself. But on top of that the young man that took my order, after patiently waiting for me to finish taking pictures and videos was thoughtful, sweet, thorough and friendly. My mocha was spot on and although my orange cranberry scone was more biscuity than sconey there were a ton of other items on my list to try next time around including vegan options.What made this place stand out, though, was KINDNESS! There was an older, barefoot, unkempt man in a hospital gown that came into the store and ordered a coffee to go. He had trouble speaking and trouble walking but the young man took his order, served him and then came out to the door and opened it for him so he could walk out easily. When the same man came in later for a second cup of coffee the young man’s friend, who was also a customer, took note and got up and opened the door for him. THAT’s aloha! Put me to shame - I was kind of scared of that man. But those young people showed compassion and aloha. I love it and I’ll be back!“
“All the staff were not only extremely pleasant and welcoming but also very diligent. The food was amazing, and our handmade sodas were exactly what a hot day needed. We are definitely coming back again. This place is what comes to mind when you think "cafe."“
“Got the ube smoothie drink. Very unique taste, definitely using real ingredients, not powdered base drink. Do note that substitute oat milk instead of regular milk is $1.50 which a bit pricey. Also added boba with great taste! Drink came out to almost $10.42 but worth the price. Definitely recommended to try it out yourself.“
“This cafe is a gem! The space is very clean and bright, perfect for enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee. The staff was super nice and helpful. I loved their pour over – it had a lot of bright, refreshing flavors that were a wonderful way to get some extra caffeine during a busy day in Honolulu. Definitely a must-try if you're looking for great coffee in the area.“
“Was early for Dr's appointments this morning and went on a search for a coffee place near by and found this little gem!Got the hazelnut latte for Mom,which she absolutely loved, and a yummy caramel macchiato for myself.Amazing customer service, got our drinks quickly and great prices!Will definitely drop by again for another coffee fix next appointment in town.Parking: It is a busy parking lot but we found a spot fairly quickly.“

“Definitely try their signature drinks! The Nero Aroma is blackberry coco mocha, which was delicious - who knew you could mix blackberry and coffee? We also tried the raspberry white coco mocha, but found the flavor was a lot more muted. So if you want something more low-key, the Aroma Amore might be a better option! The Coco Choco is coconut chocolate mocha was also delicious iced“
“We have been coming to Wen’s for years! It is the best local spot in Honolulu. They have great flavors, affordable prices and friendly staff. I recently got the peach oolong tea and the winter melon black tea. You can actually taste the tea.“
“Nonchalantly busy cafe on the main drag out in Kaimuki, from the front The Curb looks relaxed and quiet but once you enter you'll be surprised to find a nearly full bustling artisan caffeine dispensing operation. The coffee is ostensibly the focus (spanning your own desired level of complexity) but they have an interesting selection of baked goods to pair with your espresso. Can confirm both the cookies and banana bread are well made. Park along the residential street and stroll in to join the line from the back entrance.“
“Nice multi purpose cafe. Food, coffee, paddle boards, surf boards, and souvenirs.Looking for gluten free crepes? YES and thank you! My oh my was it yummy! Fast service, and helpful staff.We also rented a paddle board for a couple of hours which was in great condition.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free crepes!“
“I had an acai bowl and waffles for dessert after dinner. The acai bowl was so large that two people shared it. It was delicious. Since it's a popular restaurant, I had to give up on lunch due to the long line. It's a small shop, but I wish there were more seats.“
“Buddy invited me to meet up for breakfast and came for my first visit. Breakfast was pretty standard fare with several varieties of omelettes, pancakes and waffles, as well as a combo of 2 eggs and meat with a carb side. I ordered the everything omelette with house potatoes as the side.Flavor wise, this omelette tasted better than the omelettes from Kaneohe Pancake House but is smaller since this was a 2 egg omelette. But on the other hand, the potatoes are more flavorful at Kaneohe Pancake House. Will definitely be coming back to try out their fried rice since that seems to be the most popular.Ample parking and not too crowded. There were 2 servers on hand, and the food delivery was pretty quick, as were coffee refills. However, for some reason, water refill was very slow.Atmosphere reminded me of old school 70s style diner with a lot of Hawaiian prints and art on the walls.Lastly, they do provide a physical menu and you don't need to scan a QR code to look at the menu. I say this because owner/management at Brick Oven Pizza in Kapolei thinks it is common for restaurants not to provide physical menus when in fact, Brick Oven Pizza is the only place I have visited in the last 90 days that did not provide a physical menu.“
“I came to consult for the 329 Card (local resident) and to pickup some of their cbd products. The 329 card consult was easy to schedule and the doctor explained what would happen for the application. Before I left the office I watched him submit the application to the State of Hawaii 329 Registry and got my electronic version of the card through the state the following week. There’s probably variations in state processing but the doctor did all the necessary forms. Tried their cbd muscle rub and cbd oil — fantastic products. They also do kamaaina and veteran discounts. I highly recommend for their cbd products and 329 consult.“
“Such a cute spot that can be hard to find when driving by, but I read the reviews on Yelp and had a heads up so it was not bad. Also, there’s on-site limited parking, which I didn’t know about so I ended up parking at the paid parking lot across the street.I ordered the hot matcha latte with oat milk and no sweetener. I wanted to try it without any additives except just milk and it was still good, with only the taste of matcha, but I do recommend adding a sweetener if you’re used to drinking matcha lattes with a little more flavor.The salt and butter bun was served warm and very buttery (as you can see in my photo) and delicious. It complimented my matcha and I’m glad I got it.There is limited outdoor seating and it was very comfortable and relaxing! Def check this place out for your matcha beverage needs!“
“Being from Pacific NW area, I don't usually drink coffee as many do, but if I do, I order a decaf..ho hum...I asked the barista what her favorite specialty drink on the menu was, and she said the Honey Cinnamon Latte, which I would never have chosen on my own but asked for it with almond milk. It was the BEST coffee I've ever had! My sister had the best Caffè macchiato she's ever had, so we went back each morning for the same with their fresh baked banana bread and the WeedWhacker juice with added apple- Thank you Daisy Cafe staff-Amazing way to start the day!“

“This is a coffee shop like no other. The owners take incredible pride in brewing the best coffee ever, anywhere. It's 100% Hawai'an coffee, which coffee lovers know is extremely expensive, grown on the mineral-rich volcanic soil, with an incredibly intense flavour and aroma. If you go to Honolulu on a cruise ship (like me), Downtown Coffee is really close to the dock and you must must have a coffee there! Oh yes, the coconut chocolate macaroons are great also!“
“The shop is at the bottom of the hotel, it's pretty small from what I remember, but what a great way to start the day!We tried different pastry shops for malasada, and honestly, they were all really good. Some probably a little better than others, but it's hard to pinpoint a noticeable difference.I think I actually like those more than I like regular donuts. The flavors are different too.“

“We used to come here a lot! Like every week at least once, but we hadn't been coming into town as much so haven't stopped here in awhile.I'm happy to say that Thangs is still awesome! I never remember how good Thangs is until I've eaten at other smoothie places for awhile. What I realize when I get to have Thangs again is their smoothies have more real fruit in them, you can taste the extra flavor. Their bobas are perfect, soft without being too soft. And the texture of their bobas is creamy.The family that runs it is very efficient and friendly as well.Thangs is awesome, do yourself a favor and go there! They always keep the place very clean as well, we've been going for many years.“
“Super fresh and delightful food from Bella Banh Mi Cafe! I can honestly say that this is the best banh mi I have ever had and I have had a lot of banh mis in my lifetime! I loved the smoked flavor to the meats. They give more insides than bread or wrapper, which is hard to come by these days. They put generous amounts of cucumber, carrots, and Chinese parsley in my sandwich and I enjoyed every last bite! The bread was perfect - flaky with lots of crunch. The summer rolls filled with bbq pork had that great charbroiled taste too and they did not skimp on the meat. The homemade peanut dipping sauce was perfection! This was a delicious and filling lunch! I simply cannot wait to come back!“
“I've been wanting to try the soufflé pancake with boba and I was finally able to!This came with 3 stacks of the soufflé pancake drizzled in brown sugar, a type of cream, and boba! The pancake is so fluffy, it tasted great with all the sauces and boba. Because everything else is so sweet, I liked how the soufflé pancake wasn't as sweet. I could taste the different sauces and pancakes, and how it complimented each other. I shared this and left feeling full! The soufflé does taste a bit strong in egg, but makes sense as that's how it becomes a soufflé.“
“Wow! Sometimes you come across food you feel lucky you found. The food here tastes unbelievably good. I got the beef stew. It was a great value and tasted great. I street park by Karai Krab but they are in building with a parking structure so you can order quick and get out and not pay, I believe. Don’t miss this place!“
“Ice cream and waffle cone were both good. I ordered and the girl questioned my order (a double dip in a cone…so I just said leave it a single dip). Definitely not enough space for all the people that come in…but for a very touristy location what can you expect? ?“
“I highly recommend this cafe! The service was outstanding, featuring a unique menu that surpassed expectations. The lattes were exceptionally tasty, and the homemade granola and açaí bowl were truly delightful. It's no surprise they earned the title of the best cafe in 2023 – an experience worth savoring!“
“I recently visited Starbucks and had an exceptional experience, thanks to Shakila's outstanding service. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor enhanced my visit, making it truly enjoyable. The Chai latte was excellent, and Shakila's dedication to customer satisfaction stood out. I highly recommend Starbucks, especially with staff like Shakila who goes above and beyond to create a positive experience.“
