21 Best Cafes near Waianae

“I stopped in for a butterfly effect tea. It is a healing tea for stress, anxiety and endurance. It starts off blue and then add the lemon and it turns purple. I love the heart shaped ice made of the tea so it doesnt get watered down & lasts longer. I like mine plain no agave or sweetener. I enjoyed looking at the historical pictures during my short wait. The service is true Aloha. Absolutely worth the drive out to Makaha. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back!“

“Food and service were excellent!“

“Good service and good home cooked food.

When you’re looking for a home cooked meal and your far from home. This is the place. The staff are friendly and the food is on point.
Give the waitresses some smiles and a tip and they’ll take care of you.“

“This is one of my absolute favorite places to visit! Everything is so fresh & the staff is unbelievably kind. Their croissants are to die for. 🤍 Can’t wait to visit Hawaii again. This little cafe will be a requirement when visiting. 🤙🏼“

“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!!!“

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

“We had such an amazing time at the hotel in Ko Olina! The service there was truly exceptional, exceeding all our expectations. We're already looking forward to coming back for another visit!“

“I only found out about Wai Kai a month ago after a friend bought a condo nearby. Since that time, my family and I have been back numerous times to eat at all of their restaurants and attend their Farmer's market. All of the food is outstanding which is why we even went back twice in one day to eat at 2 of their restaurants. They have amazing staff from their manager, Keith, their cooks, and their waiters and waitresses. This place is a hidden gem because it's a family friendly place that has the atmosphere of Waikiki without the crime or crowds. Both kids and adults can come and have a great time whether it's doing a water sport, eating in one of their excellent restaurants, or relaxing on their lawn during the Farmer's market where they have a wide variety of food and local products to choose from.“

“Love this place! Drinks are always super delicious and the staff is very friendly! Sooo yummy❤“

“I think this might be one of the best latte-like matches on the island for me.

I liked it more than pono potions and daily whisk. I had the earl grey and the coconut cloud. I actually had them back to back because they were so good I chugged one, turned around, and got another. As someone who detests things that are too sweet - this was the perfect Asian sweetness for me.

Id recommend the coconut cloud for its cream topping!“

“What a great place! The service was outstanding—very friendly and inviting. It made my day that the barista put a cute design on my coffee 💕. The bagel was good but next time the other food options look so much better. Great atmosphere!“

“These are delicious! I can't wait to get more again sometime, since I had to share these with my family.“

“Very nice place , very good AÇAÍ“

“Tiny but mighty for sure!! You know it's amazing when the menu covers the wall!! Local specialties like the Loco Moco and Mac nut waffle are a must try!! The portions are huge! Definitely shareable. Upgrade your dish with their fried rice!! The malasada pancakes were quite popular, but i chose the waffle instead. There is a line and place is a hole in the wall type of restaurant, but it does go fast. The girls are excellent waitresses and they are constantly keeping the place clean which is a huge plus for me! They have nice music too. Parking is a bit hit and miss since there are other businesses in the same center, but you'll find something. They do not have a restroom. There is a shared one in the building though.“

“I stopped by S7 Icy Bubble in Kapolei and it quickly stood out as a great local spot if you are looking for refreshing bubble tea and fruit drinks on the west side of Oʻahu.

The shop focuses on a variety of drinks including classic milk teas, fruit teas, and iced specialty drinks with toppings like tapioca pearls and other add-ons. One of the things that stood out to me was how vibrant the drinks look when they are served. The colors and presentation immediately catch your attention.

The fruit drinks feel especially refreshing, which makes them perfect for the warm Kapolei weather. Many of the drinks have a balanced sweetness that allows the tea or fruit flavors to come through rather than being overly sugary.

Another highlight is the texture from the toppings. The tapioca pearls have the chewy consistency that people expect from a good bubble tea, and they pair well with both milk tea and fruit-based drinks.

The shop itself has a clean and modern layout with a straightforward ordering counter. Most people grab their drinks to go, but the service moves quickly and the staff are friendly.

Overall, S7 Icy Bubble is a solid stop in Kapolei if you are looking for colorful, refreshing bubble tea drinks that are easy to grab while running errands or exploring the area“

“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.“

“Best go to when in Aulani“

“This is the first coffee I want to drink without creamer. It is so smooth and tasty. I just received my order so I can enjoy it every morning. ��.“

“Amazing burgers! It’s also nice to have a beach view and friendly service. A bit pricey but that’s Disney.“

“Always love the food and service here. The fries are my favorite on the island!“
