14 Best Cafes near Waialua

“Aloha. Great time & lotsa items. Get to see fresh blocks of soap & the aromas are stunning. The Children got to punch soap blocks w/local motifs. The host was informative & full of Aloha🤙👍🏼🙏🏽“

“I`ve been craving this peanut butter cake for so long and finally got to try it. Absolutely delicious, best I have ever had. Very friendly staff. Just one thing. If you have your coffee and cake in the Café, I really dont understand why its served all in plastic trays and cups.“

“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.“

“We went here for some coffees. I thought they had latte, but I should’ve looked at the menu more closely so I got a brew coffee with almond milk and a Seagrass Shot. My husband ordered an Iced Mocha and we ordered an Aloha Smoothie for my son. Although I was disappointed, not to have a latte, the brew coffee with almond milk was still very good. My husband said the mocha was good but a little bit small for the price. The smoothie was very tasty however again for the price it seemed a little excessive for the size that we received. I realize they’re using wholesome ingredients and getting fruits and vegetables on the island may be more expensive than the mainland so trying to keep that in mind.“

“We love the Sunrise Shack!! Best smoothie bowls anywhere!!“

“Delicious food and a casual atmosphere. There are vegan options available. Yummy smoothies. I had the avocado toast and loved their twist on it.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options on the menu. Smoothies and juices. Again bowls and avocado toast.“

“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!!!“

“Got the POG bowl and it was good, but I think the acai bowl or the blue dream bowl are better. When I went, the cat was out front which was fun to see (they have stickers with the cat on it at this location so if you want one I would grab one because I thought they were at every location and they weren’t so I’m regretting it now). It’s a great place to stop by after a beach day!“

“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!!!!!“

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

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

“Relaxing holiday. Had to change plans due to the Maui fire. This hotel was available and I’m glad I was able to book a room (even at the ridiculously marked up rates). The adult area was well maintained and remained adult only - which was a pleasant surprise. The daily fir show was entertaining. The pool service was great - friendly staff. I don’t recommend getting a room on the second floor. They don’t have a balcony to sit out on yet coat the same as the ones that do.“

“This cafe is located across from Matsumoto Shave Ice.
We brew our coffee with beans grown in Hawaii.
The staff had a bad attitude, but there are terrace seats, so it's nice.
If a shave ice person sits down without permission, you will be warned (there is a warning sign)“

“I went here with my friends once, and after that, I couldn't stop coming here. I have spent like $500 here, and it was worth every penny. The staff are very kind, always smiling and being patient, the drinks are amazing, and it is a very cozy space. It is one of my favorite places to go, and if I ever want to go out with my friends, I always come here. I have lived in hawaii for 8 years, and I have gone to countless boba shops, but this is by far my favorite one. If you like sweet things, I recommend a lychee fruit tea with lychee jelly and boba, but it is very sweet so you might want to get 75% or 50% sweetness. If you don't like sweet that much, I recommend a hong kong tea with boba and chia seeds. I also recommend the cookies and cream milk tea with oreo falls and boba. If it's your first time coming there, then I recommend a brown sugar milk tea with boba. Also make sure to put in your phone number when you pay so that you can gain stars. You get one star for every purchase over 5 dollars, and if you have 12 stars, you get 5 dollars off. They never send you any text messages unless you get a star if you are wondering. I also recommend the chicken chipotle quesadilla if you want food, but if you are going to get one of their toast options or the nachos, be prepared because they don't look like the picture. They are good don't get me wrong, but a lot of people get too hyped up and then get disapointed when its not like the picture. The staff is also very quick when they are making their drinks, and I have never had to wait more than a minute to get my drinks. The food takes a little bit longer, but it is still pretty quick. Overall, it is amazing, and it is my favorite place to go to in the entire world. I would highly recommend that you visit.“
