“I picked up a few pastries from you”

“The best coffee and great board shorts”

“The mele matcha sponge is the best cake I’ve ever had! It was decorated so delicately with real flowers. Yummy light creamy frosting & flavorful cake was a birthday party hit! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Thank you!!”

“I'm staying nearby for the week and my family and I decided to check this place out. I can't remember the last time I've been this impressed by the workers and service of a business. From the moment we walked in we were offered samples of coffee, chocolate, even shave ice flavorings. We also were offered a tour of the cacao bean and coffee processing areas which after finishing our shave ice decided to take up the offer. I'm not sure the name of the guy who gave us the tour but he was super kind and we all felt very welcome and appreciated as customers. All the other workers were super nice as well and one of the women was even trying to accommodate me with 5lb of ice in a larger bag because they were out of 5lb bags. I ended up just getting 8lbs instead :). But again, i don't think I've ever been somewhere where everyone working seems to care and want to help. This place, they do. Thank you!

Also: anyone looking for little souvenirs or gifts for family or friends back on the mainland this place is great for that. They have tons of fun stuff here.”

“Amazing organic soaps that smell delicious.”

“My favorite ahi katsu on the island. You’ll need to follow on instagram and check their story to see when he’ll be open. Usually open a couple times a week though! It’s just a food truck on the side of the road, you can just grab and take to a park or to Haleiwa to eat. Awesome staff. Amazing fish.”

“Ummm the chunky monkey banana ice cream sandwich?? Life changing. My wife and I would do unspeakable things for another. Unfortunately we live outside the area where they are sold. But one day soon!!”

“This is a charming location in converted old gas station. We each had a 24 oz smoothie (coconut, mango, and a couple of mixed combinations) to start while waiting for our food outside on a picnic bench. The food was one of the best we’ve had on the islands: Kahlua pork, Kalbi ribs, Teriyaki chicken, Furikake Ahi, squid luau, fresh caught fish, fish tacos, macaroni salad, tossed salad and coconut cake with pineapple for dessert. Highly recommended!”

“Without any doubt the best pizza on the island of Oahu My favorite is Jerry , pineapples, jalapeños, tomatoes , cheese. Great friendly service with Aloha . This place has a soul. Used to there when I lived on the North Shore and don’t mind driving across the island now - worth it!”

““What an unforgettable evening! From the moment we arrived, the warm aloha spirit was everywhere. The food was plentiful and delicious. The performances were breathtaking—full of energy, history, and storytelling that made us feel connected to Hawaiian culture. Every dancer and musician gave it their all, and the fire show was absolutely spectacular. The staff was kind, welcoming, and made the whole night flow seamlessly. If you’re visiting Oʻahu, this luau is a must-do experience!””

“Absolutely the best banana bread I have ever had and talk about the most amazing customer service. Definitely recommend!!”

“Two thumbs up, 5 stars. We first visited their restaurant in Kahuku a few months ago. Quality food at either place, a definite local favorite of ours. Can’t go wrong with the shrimp dish’s or any other items on the menu. The inside of the restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. We’ll be back, mahalo.”

“The best shave I’ve on the island. Definitely a popular stop on the North shore but worth the drive! They are efficient and they have the best flavours!”

“Great place! Line was out the door. Poke is served both on rice or on fresh salad. The varieties are delicious and all the options are fresh! The staff was extra careful to help with our order and the portions were just right! We loved it!”

“I’m not usually a fan of shave ice, started with one bowl for my daughter. Omg. The flavours are amazing, natural Ingredients for the syrup instead of food colouring and artificial flavours. Went back for 2 more bowls! This place is amazing. Kudos to the team. Keep it up.”

“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.”

“JAX is by far the best pizza on all of the islands. The handmade dough and premium toppings in a 600 degree wood fired oven . Come get some its worth the trip!!! Salads and breadsticks all soooooo good”

“The Hawaiian sweet roll bomb! You can also taste all the fresh veggies and good size portion meats. Highly recommend this place super clean and inviting. You definitely won’t regret it.”

“This was a nice little place to visit. I'm not personally a coffee drinker, but I did try some samples. It was pretty good! We bought some coffee for the coffee-drinkers in the Family. I really wish they would have given some type of a brief presentation of how coffee is grown and the process for turning it into coffee grounds.”

“Excellent Puertorican cuisine”

“The best shave I’ve on the island. Definitely a popular stop on the North shore but worth the drive! They are efficient and they have the best flavours!”

“It is everything and then some. Great experience”

“Food was amazing! Well worth the drive!!!”

“My only complaint is it is hard to order because the food is so good. Every time I hike Mali pillbox I come here and whenever my mom flies she DEMANDS come here or else she'll demand I call her 6x a day.

In reality this place is amazing and is worth the value. They make everything g great though I usually order the breakfast. If I don't eat here than I didn't come to West Oahu.”

“Best açaí bowls and smoothies!”

“Best fresh chicken sandwich I’ve ever had! Every time I’m on Oahu I make time to get a bite to eat here!!”

“Would highly recommend Teddys burgers, the best by far!!”

“Enjoyed our lunch there. Friendly service and good food! Loved the hunk of bread and cinnamon sugar! The Banana bread pudding was delish!”

“So it’s like this… Kua ‘Aina Sandwich Shop has got to be the best burger for the job if you’re hungry amidst shopping for all the great gift ideas!! Bacon burger with all the fixings and also with the green chili Tabasco is mayjah and it scratches the itch every time. Really good as a medium rare burger. So juicy!! One of my favs!! Kudos!!”

“Wow! What a beautiful morning to kayak! Jonathon at Planet Adventure Company was so nice and fun to talk to. The views were amazing during my tour, lots of greenery everywhere and the beautiful blue skies above Rainbow Bridge truly felt like heaven. I highly recommend PAC when visiting the North Shore. It’s inexpensive and no experience necessary, it’s super easy! Jumping off the bridge next. Aloha! Popi 🌺”
