    Came here for some quick coffee with one other person. Ordering was pretty easy and the guy behind the counter was helpful and quick with everything. I like that they had some fall specials on their menu. The inside of this place is very small and just for ordering. They do have seating but outside only and no restrooms. Parking was easy since we parked on the street and it wasn't very busy.

    We drove out from Honolulu town just for the vibes at Chadlou's Coffee Roasters and it was so worth it. This place did not disappoint. I ordered my usual iced oatmilk latte and it was absolutely perfect. I paired it with their banana bread I know that maybe not the best combo for someone watching calories but for me, it's comfort in every bite and sip. My favorite!! :)) The staff were kind, welcoming and full of smiles which made the experience even better. We came for the peaceful vibe and the countryside charm and honestly, it healed something in my soul. A place like this reminds you to slow down and just be.

    Love this place!! I and my husband had to go Kailua side and then we decided to have coffee break. Use Yelp app and looked for someplace we'd like to try around us. This place is located the corner of Kihapai St. and Ho'olai St. The entrance is face to Kihapai St. side. Looks like huge cafe but once get inside, it's cozy cafe. They have some tables and chairs outside the deck. They have a coffee roaster machine and roast their original blend coffee.(you can buy their beans) When we got there, two customers were there and one staff was working herself. Our turn to order, I'm always hard to make decision person but she gave me the time to think and very kind with smile. I ordered Iced Kula Latte (lavender & vanilla sugar cane syrup) and my husband ordered Iced Coconut Macadamia Nut Herbal Tea (decaf) Latte. Both taste so good but my iced Kula Latte is the winner!!!! We can't wait to try another menu! (Also would like to join their coffee tasting!)

    As we were driving around we saw this coffee shop at the corner of the street and so glad we stopped by! I love the decorations inside and the products they sell. Once you step in the store you know you'll be getting quality coffee and at first sip it definitely was. We ordered one cold Honu latte (caramel and mac nut sugar cane syrup) and one hot Makapu'u Mocha (Manoa choc, coco/mac nut). Tip: be patient and kind as on our last visit there was only one staff working and when we got there the crowd got bigger.

    Sign up for their coffee tasting! Matt is extremely knowledgeable and will take you on a sensory coffee tour around the world.

    The last time we visited this establishment, around 5 years ago, we enjoyed the coffee but they were still going through some remodeling of their location. When we returned just last week, I was quite impressed by their location! A could of experiences, to go order section and a sit down area. Lots of space! Excellent service! I got the kula latte because I'm drawn to those hints of lavender. But the main reason return, and I will return more frequently now, is because i was made a perfect latte. The crema in my cup was made with a skill that baristas, especially Starbucks baristas, have trouble mastering.

    Cocoa + coffee drink

    Came here for coffee after a nice sunrise hike nearby. As someone who goes to a lot of cafes in NYC, this was one of my favorites I'd ever been to! That might be partially due to the interesting drink options - I got a really nice cocoa + coffee drink, which tasted super refreshing after a hike. The barista was incredible, I'm sad I didn't write down her name because she did an amazing job explaining all the drinks in a way that made us all excited to try everything, and her actual barista skills were superb too. The place itself is quite small but super cute, and it has really nice coffee relate art and posters inside that I thought were really cool. Overall, definitely check this spot out if you're in the area!

    Small shop, good handful of seats on their mini patio. They're tucked away from the Main Street so it's nice and quiet. Great coffees, great flavors. I'm basic and got the latte. No bitterness or excessive acidity from the coffee. They have premium coffee beans ($$) that I obviously bought into. They were very easy to drink and had great aromatic properties without too much acidity. I think I like it better than Kona Coffee beans but that's just me. I think I found my favorite coffee shop in this area!

    Stopped by for our coffee fix on a Friday morning. ChadLou's is a cute little coffeehouse in Kailua. We had the Honu and Manoa Mocha both iced and were not disappointed at all. The coffees were so flavorful! The barista was super friendly. There is outdoor seating which is nice but we took our coffees to go. Definitely one of our favorite places for coffee.

    Desiree M.

    Had the Mac nut latte not sure the name of it with almond milk. Coffee was smooth and flavorful. Would recommend if you are fond of freshly roasted coffee and a nice ambience. Lots of outside seating!

    Kennedy L.

    Tasty coffee with lots of options, lovely baristas, drinks come out very quickly, and a nice outside seating with wifi on wrap-around patio (shaded, depending on where the sun is) Great Kailua spot for morning sipping or beach runs.

    It's really great coffee, and the local people are so friendly. The coffees are nicely balanced and not too acidic. They are rich in flavor and full body. We ordered a cappuccino, americanos, and an oatmilk latte. The beans are roasted on property and made by two master roasters *Chad and Lou. We met Chad this day, who was with his little daughter. Like I said, very nice people. Please support the local businesses. We even bought t-shirts with their logo and *shakas. They mentioned that some of the earnings go to a local charity. So, if you're in the area, please stop by Chadlous, Mahalo.

    ChadLou's is a super cute spot with a little service window and outdoor seating. The street parking was also easy, even on a Saturday morning. My bf and I ordered an iced oat milk latte and iced oat milk matcha latte and our drinks came out very fast! In regards to drinks/quality, I've been trying out more matcha spots, and sadly ChadLou's was not the recommendation for me. The matcha was really clumpy on the bottom and the milk also looked like it was separating/ didn't look mixed well. Additionally, my drink kind of tasted like the Costco brand matcha, not a higher level ceremonial grade. With that said, I believe ChadLou's is more known for their coffee anyway :) I had a sip of my bf's latte and it was so good!!! The coffee taste was super smooth and not bitter at all. If stopping by, I'd definitely recommend sticking to espresso drinks. Though I won't be coming back for matcha, I'd definitely be back again to get coffee!

    Great coffee! Terrible set up for ordering & picking up. One entrance with narrow walkway! Service was good. Outdoor seating nice. For some reason the inside of establishment not utilized. Most likely will only return when in need of a good cup of Joe while awaiting to be seated at Moke's Bread & Breakfast next door.

    Fun outdoor seating

Seating is limited, which adds to the intimate feel. When we arrived, only about four tables were occupied, so we were seated right away. We chose to sit outside, but indoor seating was also available. Parking was easier than expected. There is plenty of street parking out front, along with a lot behind the building. Both are metered, but when we went the meters in the back lot were out of order, so we lucked out. They offer wine by the glass with 2 oz and 6 oz pours, or you can grab a full bottle. We went with four 2 oz pours so we could try a few different options, which was a great way to mix it up without committing to one bottle. We also ordered the beet salad for $14, which was super fresh and well balanced. The light vinaigrette did not overpower anything and really let the beets, mixed greens, and feta shine. Simple, but done right. The staff mentioned they host wine tasting events on Wednesdays, which definitely sounds worth checking out next time. Overall, prices felt reasonable and the atmosphere was on point. It is a great spot for a relaxed night or casual date. The only downside is the bathroom situation. It is a shared restroom outside of the space, and when we went it was not in great condition. It was not well stocked and pretty messy. Not really the bar's fault, but something to be aware of. Would definitely come back.

There was only one table with people when we walked in and we waited 10 minutes before a server show up at our table. We were setting outside. Then we waited another 10 minutes for the server to take our order. After we got our food we never saw the server until I got up from the table to find him. They served us tap water in a bottel, it was not filtered water, it didn't taste good. So that was a problem because I like to drink a lot of water if I'm going to have a cocktail. That brings us to the cocktails they have here. The cocktail drinks are limited also. I like a good bourbon not whitskey. The server went into a long explanation why they don't have bourbon at there bar, resturant, whatever this place is. This place needs a lot of work on their hospitality.

We booked the last wine tasting of the day and did it pretty last minute, but Tony was beyond accommodating. He was genuinely happy to be there, took his time with us, and shared not just the wines, but his story, the business, and the heart behind it all. You can feel how much passion he has for what he does. And the wine? Fantastic. Tropical, fruit-forward, creative, and eclectic blends. I'm usually a dry red girl and didn't expect to love them as much as I did -- but I was pleasantly surprised across the board. Tony explained each wine with so much energy and knowledge, making the tasting fun and engaging without ever feeling rushed or scripted. He also walked us through the artwork on the walls (some of it his, plus work from other artists), shared the vision behind Oeno, and really made the experience feel personal and special. We ended up buying a couple bottles and will definitely be back to see what new wines he creates next. If you're looking for great wine, great vibes, and an experience that feels authentic and heartfelt -- don't miss Oeno Winemaking.
