    BE is a cute little mobile coffee shop on wheels right across from Kapolei Public Library that sells a variety of coffee, tea, and some pastries. In the middle of a weekday, it's easy to find parking at the park's parking lot, and if for some reason it's crowded, there's always street parking. I really like how they have a few tables, chairs, and even beach mats for customers to use while enjoying their treats. It's a perfect spot to enjoy a calm and relaxing morning. The entire area is really aesthetically pleasing to me! The pricing of the coffee is similar to other coffee shops in Kapolei (around the $7/drink mark), and the drinks are unique enough from other shops for me to want to go again instead of consistently going to a closer coffee shop. I recommend getting the apple cinnamon chai drink (I forgot the exact name) because it tastes like the inside of an apple pie and it easily soothes the body. I don't even normally like chai but this drink was amazing. One of these days, I would want to visit BE on a Saturday so that I'm not in a rush to head back to work. It would be perfect to read a book and have a drink under the sun!

    Last customers of 2025 and what a way for us to start the last day of the New Year!!! We absolutely love supporting this small kānaka founded business. Cody, Katie and their team have a good thing going here. Bringing Hawaiian culture, coffee, matcha and some sweet treats together. Not only is their menu aesthetically pleasing, but the flavor factor hits on so many different levels. The fact that they have a little setup here at the park with tables, chairs AND board games while you wait and/or choose to sit and enjoy the beautiful weather under the trees elevates the experience in a way I haven't experienced before. Located at a community park in Kapolei next to a playground for the keiki while you enjoy your drinks and sweet treats Our order today included items from their seasonal menu: - The Santa's Milk and Cookies with the cookie topper for me. - The Santa's Milk and Cookies without caffeine for our mini. && - Olaf's Warm Hugs for the wifey. If you're ever in Kapolei and are in need of a pick me up we highly recommend stopping by and bringing your business their way!

    My drink was good. I ordered the yuzu lychee waitalizer. You can definitely taste both the yuzu and the lychee together. Your drink is made to order so be prepared to wait, esp if there is a long line. They have a few tables and chairs with some games to kill time. They are located by a tree so there's plenty of shade and there's street parking or a lot at the neerby park.

    Love the local island vibe here & the concept of this space to be connected with the community. When they have a holiday menu out, you must order from it to try. During December I ordered the Santa's milk & cookies and Olaf's warm hugs. Their coffee is pretty good & will not disappoint!

    Came here for a quick pick me up before my wife and I headed to Adela's country eatery. I ordered the iced Ube matcha and my wife had the Lychee yuzu, it was quite a line and took some time to make, but they had some seating and games while you waited for your drink to be freshly made. My drink was very colorful and delicious my wife's Yuzu refresher was great too! I recommend checking them out if your out in the Kapolei area, check their instagram for time and location. We also ran into a YouTuber my wife and I watch before come home to the island The Hawaiian traveler Sean. Coffee cart was a great scene in the park the setting was perfect.

    Located in kapolei somewhere near a park and the DMV. I'm not super familiar with kapolei and I just literally chanced it with locating an address though google. You can either park on the street if it's available or just park in the parks parking lot and it's a short walk over. The stalls are a little small in the parking lot tho, but at least there is parking options available! I missed last month when they had the cherry blossom flavors, but this month is entirely different. Some of their monthly specials was really cute and has a Easter peep on the straw. I got the rose latte ... I think it was $8. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was! I also liked how they had little dried flowers on the top too. There was some tables nearby which is nice. Or you can take a mat too! The truck itself is super cute. I also liked that it's dog friendly. They even had a little container of banana chips for your dog. It's a good option for all you west side peeps. I'll surely stop by again if I'm in the area.

    Was out in Kapolei, so wanted to try out a new coffee or matcha. Been wanting to try out BE, so I made my way over there. I tried the pumpkin pecan pie latte & it was delicious! The workers were super friendly and the truck itself was super cute! If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be back to try matcha next.

    Loooooove be.kakou. Their coffee is good! Their pastries are yum! Their staff is super friendly! Love supporting this locally owned, kanaka owned business!

    Be.Pono

    So happy I pulled over and tried this place! They have a regular menu and a seasonal menu. Everything looked delicious so it was hard to decide. I ended up ordering the Be.Pono and was not disappointed. I will be back soon to try other menu items.They have table and chairs to wait for your order as well as books and games and they were very kind.

    Coconut latte
    Kiara V.

    Got a coconut latte through their online ordering system which was very convenient and easy! Was able to find street parking easily to pick up my drink. The girls working waited till I arrived to add the ice into my drink which I appreciated. I was debating on adding extra sweetness since I like my lattes sweet, but the syrup made it sweet enough and I liked it. I want to come back to try their specials!

    @fortunefoodfinds: "The place to BE., was at Made in Hawai'i! A BE. pono (chocolate haupia espresso latte) n' a BE. hau'oli (haupia matcha latte) from BE., who was one of the vendors at this past weekend's festival. Braved the crowds to support local, n' get a pick-me-upper from BE. cafe that's mobile!" Staff: very friendly Interior: n/a Exterior: mobile cafe, trailer Wait time: 5 mins Parking: HCC, AMC Overall comments: finally got the chance to try out BE. bc they were a vendor at the Made in Hawai'i festival. Line moved quickly n' placing an order was easy. Staff were super friendly. Liked that the chocolate latte had the bold espresso taste n' you can taste the nice haupia on both drinks. Refreshing n' just what I needed after a day of shopping! Would like to try out more of their drinks if n' when I ever make it out to the west side.

    Be is so very lovely! Their coffee and the pest panini I had was delicious, but I have to say the service is what sets this place apart. They are such sweet humans that truly care about their customers. I appreciate their community events that help build wellness as part of their overall mission. I recently went to their yoga event and it was so relaxing and peaceful. Always such a treat to stop by their coffee truck.

    Holiday sips

    Thank you Katie and Cody... BE aware and look for this adorable trailer right across Kapolei Regional Park on Malawi Street and here you'll find Katie and Cody making the merriest of holidays with their yummy drinks and bites like their drink flight which literally took off so high that's it's now available weekends only. The vibe here is amazing so festive and bright and that's not just the drink but dressing up their trailer with garlands and have some events at the park as well and include the community is amazing! With that I had to give their holiday menu a try as I live seasonal items and it had to be "Candy Cane Forest" which is a peppermint matcha latte and the avocado toastie...yum!! Their matcha is very smooth and light not overly sweet and had just the right amount of peppermint giving the perfect holiday sip on my me time day. The toastie is just fully loaded with flavor and being almost too stunning to eat as the toastie was loaded with avocado, sprouts, feta, tomatoes and balsamic drizzle. Sitting along side the trailer with a couple of tables provided really made my time out from adulting so relaxing and nice, thank you to Katie and Cody who took that leap and know what needs to BE. Mahalo!

You will spend more than the average to eat here, but I believe you get more than just the food/drink, you get the atmosphere as well.

When I do end up bringing my babies on Bible study nights, I order them the sausage, eggs, and rice plate or the nuggets. Portions are great, enough to feed an adult, let alone a child. On average for a date, you'd pay about $80-$100 total depending what you order. But it's worth it and it's not an everyday thing. Also check out the shaved ice and ice cream!

The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that all of it can get pretty pricey, and it definitely gets super busy and crowded on the weekends.

This visit was rather strange though we walked in and no one was at the counter. No bell to ring. We said hello a few times and we were ready to walk out. But one of the ladies from the nail salon was sitting at the table in the corner and we asked if they were open. She alerted someone in the nail salon and she came out promptly. This time around we ordered the mango sticky rice and D2 had the lava flow. I was curious about the mango sticky rice, bc it's blowing up all over the place here at various other places so I had to give it a try. I thought it was something new. Turns out it's just like mango sago that I get on the mainland. It was good though and very satisfying. Blended fresh mango, coconut milk, and mini sago pearls. D2 wasn't sure how she felt about her lava flow though. She asked what a lava flow is supposed to be and I told her coconut and strawberry. When I saw her drink it was more yellow and possibly pineapple?! She said it definitely tasted like pineapple more-so than coconut. Oh well maybe their interpretation is different. She drank it anyway and said at least she's tried it. We've been so many times I've lost count. They have a rewards system by just typing in your phone number.

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!!

Oh, well... I went back to the pick-up area and one of the gals started making my Cookies and Cream matcha ice blended... with whipped cream and crumbs on the top... with a domed cover! Ohhh... it looks fancier than that man's matcha drink... I guess I won't be ordering it again because the "Cookies", even though they're grounded up, are distracting to drink. I felt like I needed to chew them... haha! And the Roasted Veggie bowl was a bit spicy in a peppery way... Thanks for the free bowl!
