Grateful that this coffee shack was open when we drove out to Kahuku today. Not all of the trucks and stands in the area are currently open due to Covid, but we luckily arrived after they had recently opened The gentleman who helped us (I would assume the owner) was wonderful. He created the most amazing sugar-free coconut latte that I have had since arriving on island a year ago. My only complaint is that it's over an hour from my house and can't become a part of my daily routine! read more

This was our first time going to this coffee shop. We are visiting from out-of-state and we're looking for a spot that had coffee/tea options. It's a cute hole-in-the wall shop but the quality was TERRIBLE. I DONT RECOMMEND GOING HERE, UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SICK. I decided to order the hot mango black tea and the guy ringing me up says "oh I haven't made/served tea in a long time." I should've known this was a red flag from the beginning. Fast forward 45 minutes later, I feel gross and nauseous. I ended up throwing up and I know it was that mango black tea because it didn't sit well with me from the start and it tasted gross. I'm guessing it was expired since he stated that "he hasn't made/serve tea in a long time." Although the spot was cute, the quality of product was a D- read more

Where is the " Zero" rating?! As a local I expect a little more... Bought one large espresso coffee but got a $6 chocolate milk instead. I even asked the guy if this had two shots of espresso and he said yes and even tried to upsell me an additional shot of espresso for $1. The reason I asked to begin with is because it did not taste like it had cany coffee in it at all. I gave him the opportunity to correct his error but he did not. The reason I know I ended up with chocolate milk and no espresso is because I get a headache in the late afternoon/evening from caffeine "withdrawal" if I go a day without coffee in the morning. And today I have a splitting headache! A McD's fix for less than $4 resolved my trbl. read more

This was honestly the worst bubble tea I've ever had in my life. I got a watermelon with boba which meant it was 5 bucks. Got one for my friend too, so 10 dollars for pepto bismol water. He uses premade powder, coffee creamer, a few pieces of ice and boba that did nothing in terms of flavor or texture. He saw me take a sip and asked me how it was as I was looking at the NO RETURNS OR REFUNDS sign in the window. Garbage stuff. I would have rather ripped a ten dollar bill in half and drank the dishwater by the benches. The only reason this guy gets business is probably because he's one of (or the only) trucks in the area that takes cards. read more

No clue why there are so many 5 star reviews. I am a coffee snob, hey at least I admit it. This place was run by the owner when we were there. Nice guy, friendly. But it is not espresso, he uses a pod machine for the "espresso" but cold brews for the iced and frappe style drinks. That is his specialty, so if you want a high calorie flavored coffee drink this is your place, if you want a hot cappuccino, latte or espresso go to Island Vintage Coffee in Haleiwa instead where way better real espresso is served! read more

I asked for a coconut milk instead of whole milk. When I picked up my drink I could see the latte looked diluted. I had a sip and it was not good! :( It tasted like a syrup with a little coffee and milk. It has to taste like a latte, but I was so disappointed. I gave a tip and wasted $10 for a latte I had to throw. Got me another (good) coffee nearby coz I need caffeine today.

Beauty outdoor location, lots of seating with umbrella and tree coverage (for rain or sun, it was raining when we went). Haleiwa Latte w Coconut Milk! So Delish!!! Recommend!!!! The sweetest people working. There was a line, but the wait wasn't too long. And they kept their cool, kind demeanor when helping people. Even apologized for the wait which wasn't bad! One person was even holding a cutie pie baby at one point, talk about multi tasking! Ha! Definitely make this a stop for some yummy coffee.

Really wished I picked up some funny and cute stickers, but at least I got some pricey delicious coffee beans and some Dave's Hawaiian ice cream. Service was great as they let us sample some coffee and ice cream. Busy spot, extremely decorated with a lot of signs. I tried their ube ice cream here and it was a generous portion for a scoop. Very great texture and it wasn't too sweet at all. High quality local beans for their coffee. Wish I had gotten more!

I have been struggling with finding decent coffee shops on Oahu with lots of space to study and hangout and this one checked all the boxes. Unfortunately, parking can be limited. I read on Yelp to park in the back on Ohai St. or you can parallel park on the street (which is kinda scary since this a busy road!). I got lucky on a Thursday morning. Workers are friendly. I was able to order a caramel macchiato and it was delicious. I however didn't realize they had their Fall menu and I kinda wish I saw it sooner so I could try a drink from there instead. I also ordered a Bacon Burrito (which I learned was from Tequeria El Ranchero next door) so I was excited to try it. However, I would not order this again. The spinach was tough and made my entire burrito hard to eat. Honestly I love this space. Great for studying, hanging out with friends, and getting work done. Certain tables have outlets nearby too. I'm looking forward to coming here again someday!

They sell so much coffee & food. I tried their Haupia iced latte and it was a 8.5/10 I loved it. They also have the iced Nutella latte which I wanna try next time. They have so much seats to stay and enjoy your coffee. Parking is very limited but they do have a couple on the side.

Got a Banzai Banana Latte: loved the foam, and the drink had a strong espresso flavor while still being able to taste the banana bread syrup, without it being too sweet or overpowering!! Matcha was pretty strong and can see them whisking it. You can also customize the matcha with different types of milk and sweeteners. Guava Pitaya Smoothie was good too, tastes very refreshing and could actually taste the pitaya. Would recommend trying out here and prices are reasonable!

The coffee ice cream didn't have enough coffee flavor and the Dubai ice cream wasn't worth the cost. I was a huge fan of the lilikoi cheesecake ice cream and double chocolate.
