32 Best Coffee Shops near Waialua

“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!“

“The best coffee and great board shorts“

“Amazing organic soaps that smell delicious.“

“What an incredible experience! Wonderful atmosphere and the employees were so informative and willing to help. With locally sourced ingredients for their coffee and chocolate (the samples are enough to get you hooked), this place truly is a hidden gem and well worth the stop!“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 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.“

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

“Excellent Mac nuts and the coffee is amazing 🙌🏼💯“

“Super fast and easy. I got a cold brew and a sourdough chocolate chip cookie. The cookie is more of a cake texture than I eexpected but it tastes really good! It paired really well with the drink. Really awesome find on the way to the beach!!!!“

“Best banana bread ever!!!“

“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 ❤️“

“I’m picky on my iced latte but they made just the way I love it“

“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“

“Stopped by and I'm surprised there is not a line around the parking lot based on how yummy everything was. We got the cinnamon sugar and strawberry shortcake donuts and an oat milk coffee with caramel (I can't remember the name). Everything was so yummy. My kids really loved the donuts. I mom taxed one from each and agreed. Since it was my first time I had a few questions and the woman was so sweet and made wonderful recommendations.“

“The best shaved ice on the planet!!“

“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...“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“The staff here is absolutely amazing! I accidentally placed my order at the Waikiki location after tapping “nearby” on the Starbucks app, but they went above and beyond to take care of me. This is what great customer service truly feels like!“

“Great drinks and the staff is always so friendly!“

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

“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!“

“No Joke. Best coffee blend I've ever tasted.“

“Best Crepes I've ever had and friendly service as well. Go there and try them, you won't be disappointed.“

“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!“

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

“The large banzai bowl could feel 3. The Maui sunrise was so fresh, acai flavor, and other tropical fruits mixed in were all great!

Tons of fresh fruit a top. They don’t skimp here. And no ice in the blend. Really enjoyed the acai bowl overall.

Lots of seating indoors with metal tables and chairs and some high top chairs.“

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

“Yeah, I had the pleasure of being served by Liam & Larami who who are the store managers here at the McDonald’s in Walmart and definitely he knows customer service definitely he’s a asset to McDonald’s. If you have a chance come visit the store see if Liam or Laramie…You will be pleasantly HAPPY 😃“

“I found Ho'olana being one of the better coffee shops in the area. Their drinks tend to be on the sugary side , so I would recommend ordering half (or quarter) sweet unless you have a sweet tooth.

I ended up ordering quite a few drinks across several days, but found I enjoyed their caramel latte (half sweet) the most. The BBL drink everyone raves about is unique to try, but not sure if it's an every day type drink. For the BBL, I found I needed to order it quarter sweet to really still taste the coffee.

All the breakfast food options were nothing to write home about. Think Starbucks quality , not something I would go out of my way to buy unless your starving.“
