30 Best Cafes near Wahiawa

“We love Drive Thru Joe. The only legit amenity on this base provides us a piece of happiness. Customer service is top and the drinks are fun, refreshing and creative. This is on our top 5 list of things we will miss when leaving the island!!!“

“My Friend and I ordered corn beef hash. DA Bes in town. Friend wanted his eggs soft scrambled. Our waitress, Rhea, knew exactly how it's made as many establishments overcook them. She said she would inform the cook. They were served exactly as my friend, Bob, wanted. Great service even with a full house. We will become regulars for sure!!!!!“

I stopped by The Milktea Way in Wahiawa after picking up my medication at Longs/CVS. We were greeted by the staff as soon as we entered. It was very clean and I walked past shelves with cute toys, snacks and a spinning shelf filled adorable mini plushie and crocheted keychains. After looking thru a vast menu of yummy drink offerings, I decided to get the Honeydew Smoothie and my nephew tried the Lychee Blush. The staff were very nice and friendly and quickly whipped up our order and we were excited to try our first sip. The Honeydew 🍈 smoothie ($7.95) was a bit on the sweet side for me but it was yummy and definitely refreshing. Very smooth with a rich honeydew flavor. I was definitely satisfied. My nephew loved his Lychee Blush ($7.95) with added Boba ( $.60) and really enjoyed the chewy and delicious refreshment. We picked up a few snacks: Sweet Popcorn ($3.25) Li Hing Mui Strips ($6.75) and an Almond Cookie ($1.95). All were yummy! I would like for us to return to try different drinks a pick up a few keychains on our next visit! Support Local!“

“It’s a great spot to grab coffee, an acai bowl or pastry in the morning as it’s open earlier than everywhere else on that side of the island. The folks working there weren’t super friendly any of the days we visited. The location is beautiful.“

“First time here for this local resident! I've driven past this intersection for decades and have no idea when this business popped up. Great location, parking, outdoor seating (kid and dog friendly), and a solid, healthy menu. I had the vegetarian burrito with tofu, and scarfed it down before remembering to take a picture. That's how good it was. A trickier proposition when it's raining, but that's also when the flies leave the area.“

“This is one of my absolute favorite places to visit! Everything is so fresh & the staff is unbelievably kind. Their croissants are to die for. 🤍 Can’t wait to visit Hawaii again. This little cafe will be a requirement when visiting. 🤙🏼“

“Toe Beans and Dreams is an amazing experience and concept. Fantastic attentive staff with a compassionate and inclusive community who are passionate about the wellbeing of the cats and finding them their forever homes. Best cold brew coffees and baked goods too! 💞“

“While I do miss Lanikai juice a whole lot more this place has grown on me. I love the clean taste of their smoothies with not a lot of filler ingredients but it does have a price to size problem. I can't understand how the same price for a large at Lanikai can be a small at nalu (11.00 pre tax). I get cost of ingredients but that's a lot for a little product. I love their smoothies though and have to try the food but I wish their prices would decrease sometime.“

“Best banana bread ever!!!“

“I’ve never did like milk tea and boba 🧋 but today a complete stranger gave me a free Oreo Milk Tea he got today. Buy one, get one free at the location near my job. Rate 1-5 and 5 being super good. I would rate the Oreo Milk Tea a 5. It was delicious. I can finally hop on the milk tea wagon!“

“Hi!
Mountain Magic Shaved Ice is hands-down one of the best dessert spots around. The place is always clean and welcoming, and the shaved ice itself is perfectly prepared—fresh, fluffy, and clearly made with care. The flavors are absolutely wonderful, with so many options that never disappoint no matter what you choose. On top of that, the customer service is truly amazing: friendly, upbeat, and always making sure you leave happy. Mountain Magic never misses—they’re consistent every single time. Honestly, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back every hour because it’s just that good. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a refreshing treat and a great experience.“

“amazing shave ice!!!! Best owner!“

“Absolutely loved this coffee shop! The atmosphere is amazing, the drinks were delicious, and the service made the experience even better. Jerica was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and attentive — she made us feel so comfortable and taken care of. This is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Can’t wait to visit next time we’re in Hawaii!“

“Loved this place. Quick, healthy options available that were all delicious! Açaí bowls were HUGE too! Definitely going back in the near future! 🍓🍍🍌🥙🥪🥤“

“Great drinks! Especially when it's from your ohana!❤️🥰✌️“

“Everyone is super friendly and the products are very high quality. The area is really clean with wide walkways and fully accessible barrier free paths. The prices are reasonable and the service is super fast. Love it!

Wheelchair accessibility: Completely accessible“

“What a great place! The service was outstanding—very friendly and inviting. It made my day that the barista put a cute design on my coffee 💕. The bagel was good but next time the other food options look so much better. Great atmosphere!“

“We love coming here when we visit the Rec 7 pool. The hot saimin and cocoa are perfect for the cooler weather up here. The staff is consistently kind, joyful, and patient. Service is a little slow. Also, they serve Starbucks coffee but aren't an official franchise, so the app won't work. Luckily, they have a simple rewards system tied to your phone number. A great local spot that makes pool days much better!“

“Love the “old school” shop vibe and the food servings were generous and onolicious!
It’s a small place so you may consider ordering out, but our wait was worth it. We love supporting local small kine businesses, who offer great food and a welcoming atmosphere. Mahalo Nui!“

“Amazing organic soaps that smell delicious.“

“clean foods.. affordable“

“probably the best valued, most consistent boba place, no crazy new fancy drinks, just good milk tea 🤙“

“I went there from town because I used to live in in Waipahu and I was raised there and used to go to that Rockies once a week but I went there today after 40 years as soon as I walked up, the lady turned the sign and said we’re closed and said Cannot help you because we’re just closed instead of sitting me down and saying hey you’re here already wanna just order CD client and pushes her business away so I will never go there again bye👋“

“Tea Cafe in Tea Cafe is a quick stop for drinks but comes with a few small annoyances. Parking is handled through an app and is supposed to be free for the first two hours. Somehow I still got charged $9.99 which felt bogus and instantly took some of the joy out of what should have been a simple visit.

The shop itself is pretty small so it feels more like a grab your drinks and go kind of place rather than somewhere you hang out for a while. Drink prices range from about $4.50 to $9 depending on what you order which feels fair for boba and specialty drinks. Drinks were delicious!

We tried the watermelon pina colada chocolate and Thai tea. All of them were good and refreshing with the Thai tea being the standout. The flavors were solid and exactly what you want when you are craving something sweet and cold.

Tea Cafe does the job if you are in the area and want a variety of fun drinks. Just double check the parking situation so you do not accidentally turn a boba run into a $10 surprise.“

“I was 9 years old in 1964 when we visited Oahu. Coconut Joes is my favorite memory. I'm glad to see it is still there although it has changed from a hut made of chicken wire covered by vines to a modern building. I'm wondering if they still have a myna bird somewher on the property. My brother and I loved that bird.“

“Cosy atmosphere and nice desserts 🧁 🍮🥤“

“Visited Bird’s Nest. The matcha was good, but needed a little more sweetness for my taste. The food was amazing, ordered the orange cardamom pastry and will definitely be coming back to get another and try out some of their coffee options! Overall, great spot :))“

“This is in a nice hidden small food court in H-Mart. The pastries were great, well made and flavorful. The coffee was far superior to Starbucks. This is my new favorite coffee shop. If you're looking for a great cup of joe, this is the place.

Be warned the coffee selection is limited but the flavor is great. I would recommend the Einspanner.“

“The service and food here is absolutely fantastic! The Prime Rib Loco Moco, is the star of the show. I couldn’t finish, but thoroughly enjoyed, 10 ounces, of Prime Rib, over a bed of rice, with brown gravy, and 2 eggs, over medium, on top. Welcome to perfection on a plate. My friend said the fried chicken, was the best she had ever eaten. Next time, the Nutella pancakes, with banana, or should I get the tres leches, strawberry beignets….They are open 7-3 every day. They offer three different discount discounts Monday through Friday. Military, senior (62) or Early Bird. 7-8am. Be hungry. Enjoy!“

“This spot offers a variety of different cuisines suitable for all diets and preferences. There is plenty of parking around the market setup. Seating is limited depending on the weather, crowd size, and time you go. All the vendors seemed to be friendly and welcoming, and several offer free samples.“
