Very cute little shack that sells amazing coffee - and I wish we have this in LA. We got the vanilla bean and brown sugar latte, coconut cloud cold brew, and a matcha latte. Everything was so good we wish we had more of our drinks cause we finished it so fast. I love how their coffee is strong but it's so smooth!! Wish I could have this everyday. Friendly staff, fast service, and they even have some seating next to their store. I love how cute this place is.

Cute coffee/matcha hut that's tucked away near Leonard's. Really friendly barista when my partner and I came in the morning. Great vibes from her that further elevated our visit, on top of the delicious drinks! We got the coconut cloud matcha and the coconut cloud coldbrew. The matcha was really balanced and the cold brew was not bitter at all, both paired well with the coconut cloud topping. Cozy sitting area and a couple of parking spots available too.

This was my favorite coffee spot while visiting Oahu! The menu offers a variety of different drinks, including a variety of options for black coffee, lattes, matcha, teas, and lemonade. Every time I visited, I'd get a pour over and was super happy with my drink. My husband is more picky with his coffee and even he said that this was some of the best coffee he's had. So if you're thinking about coming here, this is your sign! The store is moreso a stand if anything, but it is super cute and aesthetic. The service here has always been friendly and the barista went out of her way to make conversation with us (positive points too that she's also a California native like us). This spot shares the same parking lot with Ono so be prepared for a struggle finding parking and tight spots.

Organic Pumpkin Spice Latte ($6.75)
Mona C.

Continuing our coffee hunt, we trekked to Kapahulu to visit this cute cart located within a parking lot attached to a walk up apartment complex. Its a nice cool morning, so perfect for some coffee! Americano ($4.00) - nice temperature, not bitter Organic Pumpkin Spice Latte ($6.75) - cozy and autumny Locally made (Big Time Bagels) plain bagell with roasted garlic and herb cream cheese ($8.00) - seriously worth every cent! When we first arrived there was just one other customer, but as we sat in their little dining area and enjoyed our bagel, at least 20 people had ordered and departed with their drinks and baked items. Service is friendly and rather quick considering its a crew of two.

My amazing husband made it a point to research different coffee shops on Yelp so we could try a new one each day of our trip. Better Daze was our choice for our final morning. We made the walk over from our hotel and had a great walk, it's a bit out of the way, but totally worth going to. It's a little coffee cart that you might miss if you're not looking for it and it's next to a plaza with parking available. I ordered the Iced Rose Latte ($7.75) and my husband ordered the Cloud Chai ($8). The staff members warned my husband that they make their chai with a good amount of spice, and some customers aren't fans of it, but this made him even more excited. My rose latte was delicious and had decorative rose petals on top. The rose flavor wasn't overpowering and the coffee was great. My husband LOVED his Cloud Chai so much (I didn't even get a sip!) and he ended up buying a second drink right away so he could try more of their menu. His second drink was the Soul Chai with honey ($7.75) and he liked this one as well, but says the Cloud Chai is the one he'd order any time we get the chance to visit again. He even says it makes his top five chai that he's ever had. This is a small coffee cart/kiosk and there's only two people working but you can tell they put a lot of heart into their drinks.

Iced honey chai.

These cute little coffee truck was a great stop post workout. The baristas were friendly and the drinks came out very quickly. In the morning the other shops around it are closed so there was parking available which was nice. We got an iced honey chai with almond milk. The chai was flavorful. It was a bit in the ginger side, which I enjoyed but something to be aware of. The honey cinnamon latte with almond milk was also delicious. Prices are reasonable. The overall experience was very present and I would go back!

Coconut Cloud Matcha Latte with oat milk
Jasmine J.

Very unexpected but I actually enjoyed the matcha here! One of my girlfriends makes the long walk here every morning to get a Coconut Cloud Matcha Latte and I couldn't understand the hype. I know there's always a bunch of people in front of this little shack stand ordering coffee or teas. But my girlfriend used to frequent Ars or Daily Whisk and raved about their matcha, but I was pretty disappointed every time I went to either café. I poo-pood this place until recently when I went to Pai Cafe to compare their matcha to the Coconut Cloud Matcha here - wow..the matcha they use at Better Daze tastes significantly better. The coconut foam taste is a nice added layering flavor. I've had so much matcha recently, but I think this one stood out in a good way. Probably up there with the ones I had at Cooke St and Cha to Zen. Still on the hunt for the perfect matcha on island!

Cloud latte
Arabella N.

I loved the matcha here at this little coffee hut! I got their coconut cloud matcha and it was delicious i finished this way too quickly! The girls at this spot are very friendly and even offered me a sticker on the house as a congratulations for my engagement :) this is in a corner of a parking lot so have fun finding parking if it's busy otherwise great walking location!

Coconut cloud matcha
Jade D.

Best quick matcha! Love their coconut cloud. The women there are friendly. Small waiting area or seating area

Mariela O.

One of the best coffee shops on the island. A nice 15 min walk from central Waikiki for a great cup of latte every morning during my week-long stay was so worth it. Coffee tasted soo good! I'm a simple girl who got an iced latte with no sweetener but I can tell from the first sip it was gonna be great! The ladies behind the counter is super kind and friendly. Highly recommend!

Lynn L.

ORDER coconut cloud matcha (3/5) overall, this drink was yummy. not too sweet and the coconut cream was good. however, for a matcha it was lacking. it doesn't really taste like matcha... but it was good. SERVICE quick and friendly AMBIANCE very small parking lot

Matcha
Rebecca C.

The matcha is very standard and delicious. A little on the pricier side, but they have quite a few different options for coffee and matcha. Quick service and friendly staff. Small parking lot out front. A small amount of seating.

Natalia O.

Cute area. Little stand is tucked in the back of a small shopping plaza. Virtually no wait at 730am on a Sunday day. Matcha and coffee are good, not 10/10 tho. I would say stick to coffees over matcha

We have found many staple items that fit her dietary needs. I also like purchasing meats from here because I know they are fresh and the animals are humanely treated. The meat stays red for much longer and does not spoil. While prices can be high, it is what she needs. Being an Amazon prime member also helps with their special deals. Just scan your barcode from the Amazon app when checking out. This location is always busy with lines going into the aisles. The new self checkout helps ease this because often times people are only grabbing a handful of items. Note that this location is also an Amazon return location located at the front of the store by the exit. Ample parking in kahala mall as well.

I have to specifically call out the quiche, one of our guests made the comment that he makes quiche and is a self-proclaimed quiche connoisseur and this was the best quiche he's ever had!!

I got here and parked right outside at just about 7, and the lights were dimmed and the door was closed and locked. There was no sign on the door about any sort of emergency closure or anything for the day, and in fact there was a young employee who was still in there and I know he saw me and he quickly scurried into the back probably to not have to reopen and help me out. I even called the store directly while I was standing outside to see if he'd answer the phone and he just let it ring. I get it Google store hours can sometimes be wrong due to lack of update but even the physical store hour sign says 8pm. And it's not like I showed up 5 minutes before closed, I was there a whole hour before posted closing. It was a waste of my time and gas money to have to deal with this, and I just want the owner of this shop to be aware of employees potentially taking advantage by closing up shop before they should. I was looking to spend about $150 this trip and that's a sale that just doesn't happen when employees don't open the door for customers despite the posted hours.

After a long day of travel, I picked up an Amazon package here then stayed specifically to use the cafe/bar outlets to charge my dead phone so I could safely navigate the 50 minute walk back to my hotel. Every single outlet in the cafe and bar area is broken. When I asked for help, a team member named John was kind enough to charge my phone behind the counter but noted he couldn't be responsible for it. Because I was in visible physical distress and struggling to stand still due to POTS, I sat on the floor nearby to stay with my property while it charged. A supervisor named Taylor approached me and immediately escalated the situation. Instead of showing an ounce of empathy for a customer who was clearly disabled, she told me I "couldn't sit on the floor." When I asked if I could stand instead, she remained hostile and dismissive. She then claimed I couldn't use the outlets because they were "connected to the registers" and that plugging in a phone could lead to "hacking." As someone with a Master's in STEM and a career in IT, I can tell you that is technically impossible and an embarrassing, tech-illiterate excuse to use to mask poor facility maintenance. Taylor's behavior was unprofessional and frankly, a massive power-trip. If you need a functioning outlet or basic human decency in a multi-million dollar flagship store, go somewhere else. Taylor clearly values "store optics" over the actual safety and well-being of her customers.

The line moved relatively quickly even on weekend though, so don't let it hinder you from trying. We got their iconic Black Sesame Kouign Amann and loved it too much. Impeccably flaky and buttery pastry base with flawless caramelized bottom. The black sesame paste also came in just right dose and sweetness. I wasn't a fan of black sesame but I would rave over this pastry!! We did have their Pineapple Almond Croissant, which was decent but if you had to prioritize, doubtlessly go for kouign amann. The Chocolate Chip cookie was okay to skip IMHO. We came back again another day for their pistachio and chocolate ones and they were just as mindblowing! If you loved milk coffee, I would recommend their latte as the cold brew could be tad acidic even with added milk. I got their Cold Brew with soy milk first time then Vanilla Latte the second time, and certainly loved the latter better. They did have some indoor and outdoor sit-down spaces but they're constantly occupied so you might need to wait awhile to get one.
