“Food and service were excellent!“

“Talk about a local-family-style place to eat!!
This place is just like our similar restaurants on our island of Kauai.
Local life conversations, laughing, working class love and da FOOD!
I'll bring touring artists and bands here as well as my family!“

“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!“

“Hi Pie Bakery is an absolute neighborhood gem. Their chicken pot pie is the best I’ve ever had — perfectly seasoned, flaky crust, total comfort food. The salad is super fresh, and the poi banana bread is so good. And don’t skip the Manic Monkey Coffee… it hits the spot, too. Love this place!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

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

“Amazing organic soaps that smell delicious.“

“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 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“

“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!“

“Best go to when in Aulani“

“It was just okay. The flight of pancakes looked amazing, but it tasted just OK. None of the toppings really had a standout flavor. The ube had no taste, except the pancake itself which was chocolate tasted of generic chocolate. The other 2 were a bit yummier, but had an undercooked taste, like raw dough. It seemed cooked throughout, despite that taste. We also ordered waffles, and that was much better tasting. Service was decent, the young lady serving us was kind enough to replace my coffee after a bug flew in it. Food came out pretty fast as well. Price is fair for Hawaii.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!!“

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

“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.“

“*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.“

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

“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. ��.“

“I was at Best Buy for a while before learning I'd be waiting for techs to personalize my purchase which could've taken up to 4.5 for them to get to. Supervisor Alondra suggested I go to a Saimen place, La Tour & another place. I walked over and into La tour. The menu looked great! I saw a roast beef dip sandwich I may have chosen but when I saw a "Falafel" sandwich I was very intrigued as I never saw this on any menu at a casual restaurant in Waikiki area. OMG...that sandwich was 😍 unexpectedly⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive! 😋😋 It had noodle shaped crisp (white color) pieces of pickled turnip ( I think that's what it tasted like- please confirm or correct me?) and same shaped carrots, a perfect amount of tasty-sweet & slighty spicy sauce on a outer layer of thin crisp (perhaps it was slightly toasted?) but soft inside, square edged sub roll? I still have a little over 1/2 left! Love Falafels but am used used to the normal style of it served with a cool creamy sauce (maybe cucumber) in a toasted Pita bread. This seemed like an Asian style spin off! If they deliver in Waiks, I will likely order it again as it's Too far/expensive via car to travel there. The cold brew coffee was good also and I tried "Oat creamer" for the 1st time and liked it! Thank you ladies for the very friendly service 😊 ( I was a host at CF for almost 9yrs,😉 and also trained many hosts.) and it was my first time ever "Eating in Public" (as it also wasn't a planned adventure) and taking off my mask. People were over 10 ft away and 12 feet away from my table. more people did line up for take out as I stayed for at least an hour until almost 4pm-ish.“

“Got me a drink for the first time since the business has been open. I really love the U-be love smoothie. The cashier was very friendly and helpful. It's a little crowded in the place, but my drink was amazingly delicious so it made up for the cramped space. By the way, the drink was better outdoor anyway.“
