18 Best Cafes near Waialua

“I genuinely adore this cozy beverage shop! They offer a diverse range of drinks, including coffee, tea, and iced beverages. Their menu features unique options infused with guava, lilikoi, and passion orange--fruits indigenous to Hawaii. The shaved ice, their main spotlight, is especially delicious. My friend opted for the pineapple flavor, and after sampling it, I found it to be incredibly refreshing, with just the right amount of syrup--perfect for warm weather. The pricing is impressively reasonable. A large shaved ice costs less than $5! The staff is exceptionally friendly and welcoming. This spot is a fantastic pitstop on our way to the beach.“

“What a quaint bakery in North Shore. Reminds me of being in my childhood large eat in down home country kitchen in North Carolina watching my Mom make crust, homemade butter, breads and so forth...The aroma was captivating in Hi Pie, took me to my childhood.When i walked in, I saw on 1 counter the prepping of individual size pot pies with homemade pie crust and pie filling and on another counter a quiche that was being sliced. In the small showcase there was a PINEAPPLE CREAM PIE, carrot sheet like cake with lil coconut on top, blueberry cheesecake and a few other things. I was extremely surprised and full of smiles. Just a really feel good and clean place. The lady who helped me was wonderful and appeared to be kind.... again adding to the atmosphere of my childhood and happy place. I ordered a slice of PINEAPPLE CREAM PIE and a chicken pot pie.I was so in the atmosphere of Hi Pie that i forgot to take pictures. When i tell you this place reminded me of being in our country kitchen full of everything homemade and happy!!! Hi Pie is the place!* PINEAPPLE CREAM pie: umh umh umh... delicious just simply delicious. The slice was overly generous, the taste was outstandingly amazing. The crust is beautifully buttery without being a mouth full of oils... the cream is fluffy and leaves a toasty pineapple taste that makes you smack your lips. (Only have picture of the pie after i ate 2/3s)* Individual size chicken pot pie: heated it up for 20mins on 350. My hubby loved it. He said the crust was flakey and flavorful. The pie filling was seasoned well and yummy. (Only have picture of the uncooked pot pie because my hubby started eating before i could take pictures).I belv Hi Pie is now my favorite bakery in Oahu!A must visit for every visitor to Oahu!“

“A must stop if you're on the North Shore! We weren't sure what kind of shop we were looking for, so we passed it up and missed the parking across the street, but there are a few parking spots right around the corner with a path that leads to the shop. We purchased the chocolate chip and mochi loaves. They were both really delicious; the mochi was super moist. If we were to go back, I would definitely get the mochi loaf again. I may have to check out their shipping options.“

“Wow! Just wow. Flavor burst! Holy taste buds! Yum! I loved every single bite of this açaí bowl. Absolutely delicious and not like your ordinary açaí bowl. When I arrived at the window to order, I had asked what they were known for or which açaí bowl was the most popular and he suggested the layers of paradise with the Lilikoi cream. I couldn't decide between the Lilikoi or mango cream so he said he could make it half and half and oh my goodness. I got the best of both worlds. Customer service A+! Quality and flavor A++. This may be my new favorite açaí bowl spot. And next time for sure, I need a bowl to myself, no sharing, lol.“

“First time here and will definitely be back when I come back to North Shore.Everything was fresh tasting, flavorful and delicious. Prices are great too. You get plenty of food! Would definitely recommend!Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options!“

“This is my favorite smoothie bowl place on Oahu! They’ve got some of the most creative options of fruit combinations and the service is stellar. I especially enjoyed the tropical bowl with nutella! I also like the creativity behind the name of the shop.“

“This place proves what I have felt for years, you don't need to have fancy pants bougie atmosphere, lighting, and presentation to do something exceptional. The food is absolutely worth your money in taste, quantity, and quality. The staff are friendly, helpful, and quick.Do yourself a favor, and come to Guide cafe“

“This is me and my partner’s go to healthy place to go whenever we’re in the area. We always get a sandwich and a wrap and we’ve tried all of them and all I could say is ? especially the ahi wrap!! Acai bowl is a bit pricey but worth it since it has a lot of health benefits. Smoothies are a bit sweet but good regardless. Ambiance is relaxing and there’s a restroom inside you can use. Employees are nice and very accommodating.“

“This is a hidden gem. Food was fresh and delicious. Generous portions. I got the Kahumana salad and the macadamia pesto pasta. I had to take home half of each. This place is off the beaten path but well worth the trip. Plus your supporting a local business.“

“Great coffee and food. Stop there atleast twice a week. Some of the best coffee I've had!Only issue I've had is they no longer stir my strikers and they're almost always separated. Since they moved to straws with no lid I have a hard time stiring it until I've already drank part of my drink“

“I've always wanted to visit this shack. They have fast and friendly service, and their acai bowl was delicious. A size small was the perfect amount for 1 person. Parking is pretty much road parking. Many people park across the street even though it says no parking, and carefully cross the road. Would stop by again next time we're visiting the North Shore.Parking: Side of the road parking, no lotKid-friendliness: Area for games and to hang out“

“I ate at Giovanni's shrimp truck and came to get an acai bowl for dessert. Parking is also free. Best of all, it's not too sweet, it's healthy, and it tastes delicious! The friendly guys responded pleasantly and Wi-Fi was available.Anyway, it's delicious! A place that should be known for its shrimp eating course! Unlike 5 years ago, Giovanni's shrimp truck charges parking fees. It's $2 though.“

“Found this place on a whim while in-processing. For real for real the best açaí bowl I’ve had on island. And I love that I could eat lunch here in between briefings at the soldier support center or get caffeine to help me stay awake during some of those briefings.There’s plenty of parking, but you have to go park at soldier support center. Then you walk through or around it. Mama J’s is literally a trailer and it can be easy to miss.Parking: Soldier support center parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“Cute little food truck in an area with parking. Staff was very friendly. I had the small tropical bowl and my son had the monkey smoothie. Both very tasty and refreshing. Bought a T-shirt and sticker. I love when places have merchandise. Next time I'm on the North Shore I will stop by.“

“After visitng beaches and a long walk in the Haleiwa area we were ready for a dessert or drink to cool off. The matcha smoothie sounded really good at Island vintage so we decided to pop in. After scanning over the menu we decided on a matcha smoothie. It was so good at the moment, I'm not sure of it was just because of the heat or what but felt really enjoyable. However some time after heading out of the cafe i started getting a stomachAche. So not sure what to think of it now“

“This is an amazing breakfast place that gets your food out quickly and has a great view of the cove and beach. This is located inside the turtle bay resort bit locals love to come here and grab a coffee and chill a bit. It is very relaxing and have relatively good priced items my iced matcha was 7 dollars and the breakfast sandwich is 15 dollars. The service is nice but they are busy depending on the time you go. Food came out fast.“

“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.“

“Unpretentious and delicious. Perfect for a family with pre-teens; the portions were large enough for a full midday meal. It also wasn't swarming with hordes of [other] tourists. Definitely worth your time if looking for brunch/lunch while heading up the North shore.Parking: Parking is behind the CafeKid-friendliness: Plenty of menu options for my kids. Very picky eaters might find it more challenging, but waffles, french toast, sandwiches, and burgers all feature on the permanent menu.“
