35 Best Coffee Shops near Waialua

“Alex gave us a tour and showed us how the coffee is produced. That was super interesting and great. Alex was super nice and took a lot of time for us. We also drank the delicious coffee. Absolutely recommended! Just take the delicious coffee for home with you!“

“The best coffee and great board shorts“

“Amazing organic soaps that smell delicious.“

“My husband and I added this to our North Shore stop at the last minute. We are so happy we did. Initially when we walked in we thought we'd look for a few minutes and walk back out. That changed when Jessie greeted us. She took us on tour. Explained the history and why they switched from sugar to coffee & chocolate. Described each step in the process. It was such a good stop. We found out that this job is Jessie's part time job, she's a licensed dietician! But her passion and knowledge about the Old Waialua Sugar Mill made us think she's been working there for years and likely related to the owners. We tasted the coffee even though neither of us drink it and we tasted the chocolate. We bought a little bit of each. We definitely recommend visiting. And we definitely recommend asking for Jessie to be your tour guide.“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 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.“

“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.“

“This is our go-to desert place, whether we’re on the north shore or coming from central Oahu. We decided one morning to have lunch there and ordered crepe’s, Jacinta helped us with recommendations and we were not disappointed, the perfect meal before heading to the beach.“

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

“am not a fan of nuts but my husband is so we had to stop here. They had MANY samples and I discovered several kinds that I enjoyed. It's a very small shop but you can see Macamia trees, try samples of nuts and coffee, and check out the items in the store. I definitely recommend making a quick stop here.“

“Made a circle off of the highway to stop and visit!

The drinks were yum and there was lots to choose from and customize! There were yummy pastries to choose from and lots of seating. If you bring kids, they have a great play area with lots of toys and books!

The cat cave area was well maintained and you could tell the kitties were loved! The most social group of cats I’ve ever seen at a cat cafe with lots of room to roam around and place for the cats to stretch out and be comfortable with or without humans (though I tell you they will flock to you for scratches and loving). The attached catio with seating overlooks a little pond area and the breeze is really nice while enjoying your drinks! These cats will absolutely try to join you in relaxing.

I can’t say enough about how much I loved this place. Absolutely coming back on my next visit to Oahu. If you’ve rented a car, it’s a short and easy stop on the way to Waimea from Waikiki/Honolulu.

PLEASE visit here vs Moff in Waikiki. The difference in care and love for the cats made my heart swell.

Signed happily, a cat lady.“

“What a sweet homey place! Excellent customer service and warm vibes. I ordered an iced macadamia nut and mocha coffee with a strawberry scone pastry. SO good and the pastry came straight from the oven I loved it. Slow paced mom and pop shop ❤️“

“Great hang out for coffee, meeting up with friends, and meeting new friends. The coffee is great and the people are better. I highly recommend“

“They are sooo so yummy and very kind and the girls that work there are the sweetest ever!! the one that helped me the most her name was Nils on her name tag but I think she said her name was nilda idkk she was just so sweet and kind and allowed me take my time to actually get what I wanted and explained like all the flavors and stuff I’m very picky lol and Jamie was very kind and sweet too and they just made it a good time would definitely come here again just because of them sooo fun and not to mention the amazing doughnuts and coffee yummm 10/10 fr !!!“

“staff was pleasant and made my coffee perfect-O & in a timely manner. thanks....☕☕☕👍🤙🤙“

“In love. Got the Plantation Tea & ended up going back multiple times for the Li Hing Lemonade! Its sooo good. Just wish more frapps can be veganized. Now that I'm back in CT I make my own Li Hing with Aldi's brand lemonade. Next I wanna make margaritas...“

“Amazing place and customer service especially the manager with the glasses Would love to shout her out by name but unfortunately I can't , but mahalo to the entire Starbucks team for making my experience wonderful and going above and beyond each time - with love Lexie“

“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!“

“I ❤️ the brown sugar milk tea. It has now become one of my fave drinks from here. It is sooo tasty & very addicting! The other drinks are delicious too. I've noticed they have some sweet treats too. But I still haven't gotten a chance to try it yet. Hopefully, on my next visit I will try it.“

“All the baristas are so friendly—they always remember my name, are speedy, and make great coffee😋.“

“Every time I come in and can’t think of what I want to ask the staff to surprise me and they never fail to impress me. All the staff are so sweet and every single drink I’ve gotten seems like they really put a lot of effort into making it! Thank you for making my day!“

“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!!!“

“This is my happiness in the morning before a dive at sharks cove. Absolutely love the vibe and atmosphere, the friendliness of everyone there and the Entire Menu is Amazing! Insane mushroom coffee. This will always be my coffee spot on the North Shore.“

“*I forgot to take a photo of the food before I started digging in.*

Taste yummy, fresh, and delicious. Authentic island vibe. Great service. It was busy. We were looking for a place to get delicious fresh açai bowls with a Hawaiian vibe. This is the place.“

“Everything we tried was delicious! We went to Oahu for a week and ate here multiple times during our stay. Croissant breakfast sandwich with any kind of meat is delicious. Spam fried rice plate is great if you're looking for a big breakfast. The pastries, cinnamon rolls and pies were fantastic! The coconut cake was my favorite though! perfect, light, fluffy cake. I don't even like coconut!“

“Crepes are absolutely fantastic!“

“If you’re typically a black coffee lover but occasionally experiment with funky orders, the lavender latte is the perfect pick. The lavender honey isn’t too sweet, it’s pleasantly fragrant without being overpowering. Really enjoyed the drink!

4 stars for the service only because it’s pretty pricey, but that’s expected for Kona coffee (no other options available) and the location.“

“This merchant has need of some help. I am still waiting for my bowl and although I’m sure it’s going to be awesome it’s a travesty that there’s only one girl working here trying to do this all by herself. She seems like a very composed and intelligent young woman but she’s absolutely overwhelmed. I’m sitting here watching customers come in and leave because she just can’t do everything alone….“

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

“Delicious ice cream and the best waffle cone I've ever had! Berry Baked and Kookie Cookie are bangers.“

“I enjoy shopping here... they usually have what I'm looking for... the cashiers are usually very friendly.. and the employees are always willing to help find what I'm looking for (if I can't find an item) 😃
I like their produce... always fresh.“

“Mililani Mauka location is a well run McDonald's store. Alfred has been training for Asst. Manager and does a wonderful job treating guest with respect and is also very friendly. Inside service is pretty fast, along with double lane drive-thru and 3 curbside pickup parking spots“

“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.“

“I got to say I love u big Max's, n ur filetfish, fries chocolate shakes“
