“I picked up a few pastries from you”

“The best coffee and great board shorts”

“The free tour was great and the shop is very interesting. I was able to walk right in without a weight and a staff. Member came up immediately and offered the free tour free tasting and everything that I could do and see. They have a coffee tree and a cacao tree in the back of the store that you can go and look at plenty of space for seating and the store is big enough to wander around in. The coffee and chocolate bars are not cheap, but I ended up getting one bar of the 70% dark chocolate.”

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Discovered Mele Mele Bakery by happy accident during one of their open mic nights—and it’s been a sweet love affair ever since (pun very much intended). This place is a charming mash-up of cozy, quirky, and cool. It’s got that laid-back local vibe that makes you feel instantly at home, whether you're here for the kava, the heavenly baked goods (seriously, their pastries should be illegal), or just to soak in some tunes. They’re not a vegan bakery, but they don’t leave plant-based folks out in the cold—there’s always a small, solid selection of vegan goodies that actually taste good (you know what I mean). Bonus points: they serve locally produced honey, they’re totally dog-friendly, and you’ll likely spot a few kids dancing along to the music while their parents sip kava like it’s their new favorite ritual (because it might be). I had an unforgettable evening here recently when my son performed at their Friday open mic. Watching him play to such a warm, supportive crowd while the smell of fresh bread filled the air…well, let’s just say this place has officially baked itself into my heart. If you're looking for good vibes, better bites, and a community feel that doesn’t feel forced—Mele Mele is your spot.”

“Amazing organic soaps that smell delicious.”

“Amazing BBQ: the shrimp wrapped bacon was succulent and flavorful. The pork was pork belly, juicy and intense smoke flavor. The chicken was cooked to perfection!!! Heading back soon.”

“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!”

“It is everything and then some. Great experience”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“Mary is an amazing server and we wanted to take the time to appreciate her and the cooks because they make delicious food and they are generous with their portions. We love coming in here because the consistency is always there and Mary is always a delight to see. Thank you for being a blessing.

“Stopped in for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was! Cannot wait to return! 10/10”

“Best açaí bowls and smoothies!”

“So good! Driving up to the North Shore from the airport we wanted something local. Family owned. No frills just awesome chicken. So juicy. We all had sandwiches and the pulled chicken is more like chunks with some pulled. Not overly shredded. And not doused with sauce. Just a nice enhancement. We had the melts and they were delicious. The bread is crusty but soft inside. An easy bite. And my son loved his Cajun fries. Off street parking in the rear.”

“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!”
