    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.

    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.

    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.

    Pumpkin Pecan Pie Latte

    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.

    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.

    Great service. Great drinks. Would come again! It was raining but they were so accommodating with umbrellas and even offering to drop off the drinks at our car.

    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!

    I don't usually write reviews, but this is worth to write about. I was searching for a coffee shop near my parent's house in Kapolei and out of the (3) that was on my list. I decided on BE! It's a cute little coffee trailer. Locally own. The people are friendly, and there's a seating area. It is across the street from the credit union on the park side. (Manawai St & Kamōkila Blvd). The iced lattes that I got are all delicious! Which you could view in my photos. I couldn't resist to get an extra latte for myself since they are closed Sun & Mon. Also, got the Turkey pesto wrap, which is yummy! My dad and I gobbled that up. I definitely recommend to check this place out! Mahalo, BE! Until the next time I'm in town.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. While it can get busy, the line moves quickly and efficiently. The coffee is rich, flavorful, and full-bodied, and the açaí bowls are fresh with ingredients you can tell are high quality. Everything we tried was consistently excellent.

You can either stand in line and order as before or grab a table, scan the QR code, and order and pay directly from your phone. We decided to try the mobile ordering option. I ordered the Original Acai Bowl. As always, the presentation was beautiful, but the acai itself was disappointing. Instead of the thick, spoonable consistency I was expecting, the base was more like an acai smoothie. If I wanted a smoothie, I would have ordered one. The toppings were great, but the consistency of the acai really changed the overall experience. Service also felt minimal. Since we ordered and paid on our phones and had to get our own water, the only service we really received was having our food brought to the table. We still tipped around 20%, but it didn't feel like the level of service matched the tip. Overall, this visit didn't live up to my previous experiences here. While I appreciate the convenience of the new ordering system, the change in the acai bowl and the limited service make me question whether I'll be returning anytime soon.

At around almost 40 minutes after, my boyfriend received a text message saying he was no longer on the wait list. So he decided to walk up to the hostess and ask if our table was ready. Hostess said, I'm sorry I don't have you on our wait list. She asked if it was 2 adults and one child, and he said no as it was under the same name. She just said, it might have been someone on the inside that took us out of the wait list. She said sorry and my boyfriend said nevermind, we'll just go somewhere else. I asked if we could go back on the wait list, but she said yes, but you'd have to wait again and thought it wasn't worth it. She said Happy Father's Day to us. I said Thank you. I'm not sure if it's there check in/online message system that was not cooperating. Hopefully if we do plan on coming here and trying again, we don't end up with same experience. We were looking forward to trying the pancakes and other dishes that got great reviews.

Plenty of parking that shares wi th the Chinese restaurant next door and a dental office. The building itself shares a space with. Nail salon which I always thought interesting. There's a few seats inside and as of this year they sell a few Knick knack things and have books for kids as well as board games. 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've tried so many things like li hing lemonade, passion fruit slushes, coffees with egg pudding. And everything is good.

Also, like every other Teapreaso location nowadays, they have a surcharge for paying with a credit card. We won't be back.

First, this spot is located on the corner of Ho'omohala and Nana Hope street near the Ho'opili community. Btw, this area blew up! Such a family friendly and cute neighborhood! Second, there is no designated parking for this coffee shop so you will have to find somewhere on the street to park. Beware, there are nparking signs across the street that indicate "No parking " so be sure to pay attention to signs. They tow! Third, the service was slow because there are only two baristas who worked as efficiently as they could so I wouldn't come here if you're in a rush to go somewhere. I ordered a large, French toast hot latte and their breakfast burrito that came with a small container of salsa. Everything was delish and believe that nothing went to waste after the calories I burned at the gym. Hehe. The French Toast latte brought back memories and felt like I was holding the season of Fall in a cup of:) Definitely recommend that you check it out if you're a coffee fan.
