The ladies are awesome, always get big smiles . Super happy that I was in the area today. Got to stop by and enjoy some amazing coffee that's worth every dollar. Highly recommend 10/10 Hope one day Aloha Brew can have one van down my side of town cuz Starbucks ain't it. Mahalo to the team at Aloha Brew for always being on point with the coffee and the customer service.

The small crowd of people shows how popular this local business is. Service was friendly and my drink came out quick. I ordered the Dirty Matcha with oatmilk, which is a matcha latte with a shot of espresso. It was just how I like it, not too sweet and the matcha wasn't chalky. There were other specialty drinks that piqued my interest but will have to come back another time to try them. Looks like they have monthly specials too - below is a pic of April's specials. Skip the big corporations and support this local small business!

I HAD to get coffee from here while on O'ahu. The coffee was delicious. We got the Mac nut latte…read moreand the lavender latte. They were so good! We got their açaí bowl and their ube bagel sandwich with a salad. It was the perfect breakfast. Due to the excitement around this chain, I expected to wait in long lines and brought my kindle. To my surprise, I was able to order there, wait 2 minutes for my drinks and food and was one my way within 6 minutes!! The shop was so personable, the cook came out and saw who I was so they could hand off my food when it was ready!! This is over the top service and I am so grateful for the extra mile. There were plenty of spots to sit and eat, I saw some people with their laptop out and books. I would love to sit here and sip the best coffee, but alas, I have a cute little daughter who was waiting for her açaí bowl back at our hotel. I would 100% be coming back and recommending it to my friends.

I absolutely LOVE Island Vintage Coffee! This has easily become one of my favorite coffee spots on…read morethe island. The coffee is always delicious, and they have, hands down, the best açaí bowls I've ever had. My go-to order is the Cacao Bowl paired with a Hawaiian Honey Latte, and it never disappoints. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and worth every bite and sip. The Kapolei location is my favorite. It has such a welcoming atmosphere, and the live music makes it even better. Whether you're catching up with friends, studying, or having a meeting, it's the perfect place to relax and enjoy some incredible food and coffee. If you're visiting Oʻahu or you're a local looking for an amazing coffee shop, Island Vintage Coffee is a must-visit. I can't recommend it enough!

So... this is a pop up that I thought was supposed to start at 10 bc I have ADHD, and I planned to…read moreget here at like 9:30 bc I seen how Pua Blooms blossomed (pun intended) after these Jolene's pop ups. But I took my kids to another coffee truck (A Little A Latte) and like it goes with kids, they made me late. So I got here right at 10. But it's ok bc Cai.CafeX3 was just getting here. So I was a tad annoyed. But then I actually looked at the sign and it said 11am. They opened the doors right on time at 11 and took the first two customers in. I waited not even 5 more min before they let me in. Initially they were still making drinks for Jolene's staff which I think is awesome to bless their staff with a drink but it really delayed the drinks for the rest of us. They were very nice tho and kept apologizing. Wasn't a huge problem bc at the beginning of events like this you need to hit your groove. I was out of there by 11:22. The girls in front of me ordered a total of 4 drinks, and I ordered 3 drinks.... So I guess over all with all the staff drinks they had to make, and the fact that it was only one drink maker... they were still pretty quick. The line was wrapping around Jolene's so I think they will do well. I ordered the Vanilla Salted Caramel, the Strawberry Matcha Spritzer, and the Hojicha. They were only offering oat milk today, I think to manage the line, but if you go to their IG they normally offer other milks. I will need to try them again when I can choose bc I do not really like oat milk. But I do like how you can customize your sweetness level. All our drinks were good. My daughter pilfered the spritzer. Of the three the salted vanilla was the best. Their straws were cute pink heart straws that didn't photograph well in its wrapping. But my daughter says she's gonna use one on Wednesday bc it's pink lol. And we got a cute sticker too!

Sad part is that I forgot how much we loved the almond milk tea, ordered the coconut and almond milk tea and mines was the coconut but the almond was better! But still overall great good milk tea! Really missed this place. Boba is still so soft and delicious! Wish there was a location closer to home! Hope they stay alive went on a Saturday night 7 pm and it was empty.

Also love their iced teas and honeydew milk tea! Must try when in the area :)

I've been following different matcha places and heard about this one through a repost from a friend... sooooo you already know... your girl gotta get some! There was a line when we arrived and it was so worth the wait! We ordered 4 drinks from their seasonal menu. The owners were so nice and friendly! Our drinks were ready quickly after ordering. Each of the drinks really stood out in flavor! The cookie butter matcha was so delicious and rich in flavor. The dragon rose lemonade was the perfect amount of sweet and tangy. The lilikoi cream matcha was amazing! A hint of lilikoi with every sip! Lastly, the strawberry guava lemonade was very tasty. It wasn't overwhelming sweet, but you could taste the two fruit flavors with every sip of the lemonade. It was super refreshing! It was perfect for a sunny day! So, if you're in the area, check em out and even if you're not... take a day to travel to someplace new. Ua pau ka moʻolelo.

Since my last visit, there's been some changes:…read more - New drink! - Vanilla Frappe The new vanilla frappe is on the sweeter end and would be my #1 recommendation for anyone that likes sweet drinks. I once tried the drink with a single espresso shot and the sweetness evens out a little more with it... plus I needed the caffeine fix so it works out haha! - My former favorite drink, the iced cloud coffee drink, is no longer being sold here :( I was told that I was the only one ordering it consistently. - New deal! - If you bring in your own reusable (and clean) cup for them to use, you can get $0.30 off your drink!

If you're looking for a delicious ice cream place with local flavors, you need to stop by and try…read moreSage Creamery! Getting there took us some time- A) my husband and I were driving from the Aiea area to Ewa Beach... on a Friday afternoon, and B) parking was a pain, but we were able to find street parking pretty quickly. We knew what we were getting into before our drive, and I'm so glad we did because it was well worth the trip! The ice cream shop is fairly small- can't hold a lot of people and no seating inside, but there's plenty of tables outside, and the weather outside was just perfect with some sun and a breeze! The line moves quickly, so ordering isn't a pain at all! I ordered their calamansi dreamsicle and my husband got their root beer float, and both were 10/10! I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could've tried more of their flavors (like their strawberry guava one)! First off, the calamansi dreamsicle was really refreshing and creamy; it had hints of citrus, with a lemon/orange taste, perfect for a warm summer afternoon! My husband had the root beer float, which had their house-made vanilla ice cream and root beer from Maui Brewing Company (I didn't even know they made root beer)! It was delicious as well- I loved that I was able to see little black specks of vanilla bean in the ice cream, and the root beer had hints of honey in it! My husband and I knew the root beer tasted different (in a good way), but couldn't put our finger on it until I read the ingredients and saw that honey was one of them! Super yummy!! All in all, my husband and I agreed that we'll be coming back again to try different flavors!

I finally visited Sage Creamery's brick-n-mortar. They are situated in East Kapolei: east of…read moreSecond (son) City; west of 'eva the beaccch; north of UH West Oahu and Hawaii Tokai International College. Parking...I was searching for it. Street parking is available but difficult to come by near the store. They are in a plaza on the corner of Hoomohala Avenue and Kauluakoko Street. Domino's is a neighboring tenant. Small inside...but there are tables outside the storefront. They offer beverages: lattes and such. But I was here for Sage's ice cream. A single scoop is $6; double is $9; a pint is $14. Got a single scoop of one of their signature flavors, Kaua'i Kulolo. Fantastic with bits of kulolo imbeded in each sweet and creamy scoop. Hours are from 12 noon till 800p, from Wednesday thru Friday. Weekends they operate from 800a to 800p. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
