“I picked up a few pastries from you”

“The best coffee and great board shorts”

“This place is well worth the trip when you have a car rental and want to stay out of the crowded tourist crowds. We visited this shoppe on an early weekday morning and it wasn't busy at all. They have a lot of items in stock, and there was a kind staff member there who greeted us and gave us some coffee and chocolate free samples. We also got a tour of their coffee bean production plant, the coffee farm as well as a few cocoa plants that were at the back of the shoppe. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, and bought some souvenir snacks here that we couldn't find elsewhere in the main Waikiki city. I recommend visiting this shop, and big thanks from Canada and the USA for the staff's kindness and hospitality!”

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

“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.”

“Awesome ice cream sandwich. Never had a better one. Worth every penny. Mahalo!”

“Amazing organic soaps that smell delicious.”

“Literally the best fish on the island the ahi katsu is perfect and the sauce is amazing super fast service nice people and the poke is melt in your mouth perfect pieces amazing place!”

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 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.”

“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!”

“After researching multiple Luau’s in Oahu, I decided on Toa and oh my gosh, I’m so glad I did! This show blew us all away! The food was amazing, the performers were amazingly talented and everyone was so incredibly friendly. We really did feel like part of their family towards the end of the night! Even my Dad, who isn’t impressed by much, said, “that was the best show I’ve seen in a while”. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Best banana bread ever!!!”

“Great 😍food very nice and friendly service !”

“I normally order online, it’s very convenient especially with a big family!

Sometimes, they can get busy which tells you that the food is GOOD! So ordering ahead makes things easier for me. Their website is straight forward, easy to navigate.

I must say they are pretty fast with getting my order packed up & ready! Staff are always very friendly & helpful.”

“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”

“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!”

“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.”

“Always a family favorite! I grew up eating shave ice here! Highly recommend!!”

“Absolutely my fave coffee farm in island! We go there every year! Amazing atmosphere, cool little store and yummy coffee and treats!”

“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.”

“Excellent Puertorican cuisine”

“the burgers and fries were amazing. I'll be dreaming about them and the bakery items for years to come. such great service staff as well!”

“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.”

“It is everything and then some. Great experience”

“An adorable Vegas-meets-Hawaii themed town cafe. They make all their own sauces with real garlic so everything tastes super fresh and flavorful. We got the lasagna with a side Caesar salad and the hash bowl. The Caesar salad was hands down the best I've ever had. The owner is super friendly and gave some great Hawaii travel tips. Perfect late lunch/early dinner spot on way back to Waikiki after visiting the north coast. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-24”

“Good prices and good food. ✔️ Local spot that I love! Nice people, classic interior, with great good! Get the Loco Moco. Has a solid looking Breakfeast menu (I have yet to try), plate lunches (yum!), and dinner (definitely try). Recommended my a local I met and did not disappoint. When I arrived I didn’t know what to get and hadn’t had poi before and they so nicely brought me a taste before ordering 💚”

“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.”

“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!!”

“Julie was awesome! She walked us through the initial training. Gave us great advice, told us where to go had so much fun! Highly recommend it. Thanks, Julie.”
