Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Love love loveeeee this place! Their matcha is the best on this island imo. The service can't be beat too. Our cashier/barista named Alexa was amazing and friendly. I like their strawberry matcha but I occasionally go for their seasonal drinks, which change every so often. Sometimes they will have other small business popping up. The only downside is the parking here. Their lot is very small with only 6 stalls. There are surrounding areas to park like other lots and street parking but I have gotten lucky in the days that I have gone. read more

Parking can be a bit tricky here, but we were lucky enough to snag the last of the six available spots. The barista was friendly and offered some great recommendations for popular drinks. I went with the strawberry matcha, and it had the perfect balance of earthy matcha and creamy strawberry. We also ordered the salt and butter bun and the cheese and mushroom puff, and both were delicious, especially warmed up. There was even a local pop-up vendor selling banana bread, so we grabbed one to try. Overall, it's a great little spot for matcha drinks and tasty bites. read more

First tried a sample of the strawberry matcha from one of their pop-ups and loved the flavor and sweetness. When I stopped by Kaimuki to order the real thing, I was disappointed to find that the ratio wasn't the same. Trying to find something else I'd come back for, I tried the Hapa Matcha/Hojicha and Hojicha sweetened with Laie vanilla. The drinks are refreshing but the flavors are not up to par. The matchas are pastel green and the hojicha is more grey than brown. I even came back to try one of the Valentine's drinks, the raspberry white chocolate matcha, and it ended up looking nothing like their promo on instagram :( If I see Daily Whisk at a pop-up again, I won't turn them down but I expect the same flavor and richness when I pay full price for a drink. Especially when sweetener costs a whole dollar because they use syrups by Pono Potions. Tight parking lot can be a hassle. Can get crowded. Even the order counter feels a bit claustrophobic. But the lanai is breezy and the space is warm and inviting. Friendly staff that are glad to answer any questions. Very much appreciate that a public bathroom is available. read more

I quite liked my experience at this place, my only issue is I feel that the drinks are a little pricey for what it is. I got the lilikoi matcha soda which was delicious, but it was like 9$, and they don't really have seating, so while you are paying for a quality matcha it still seems a bit expensive for the space they are in. The staff is friendly, and that is nice for early in the morning. I would recommend street parking as both lots are tiny and it may be easier to parallel park somewhere else. read more

This is my go to spot for matcha. I tried the hapa matcha latte which is a mix of their matcha and hojicha. It tasted nutty and is more on the savory side. I also ordered the arabiki and bacon pastry which is my new favorite breakfast item. There was a line when we went but it goes by quickly. Note parking is limited in the lot directly in front of the shop but you can find street parking or park across in the paid parking lot. I believe the first 20 minutes are free. read more

I love this little spot. Small parking lot, but never had an issue finding parking. Quality matcha with limited shaded seating outdoors, although finding a seat has never been a problem either. Menu has a great variety and some pastries as well. Baristas are friendly. I've tried Strawberry Matcha, Matcha Latte and the Lilikoi Lemonade. All were great. Idk if it's the tariffs or whatever, but it's gotten quite expensive. Normally, I make it at home, but I was already out last time I wanted a matcha, so it was great to have a go-to spot. I highly recommend this to matcha lovers, it doesn't disappoint! Yelp 2026 Challenge: 05/30 read more

I've been on a hojicha kick, and someone said that daily whisk has the best hojicha! I did not realize that it was located in a house in Kaimuki. There is a small free parking lot, but we parked in the paid lot across the street. On a Saturday, I ended up paying under $5 for a few hours. There are some tables to enjoy your drink. I got the Hojicha with vanilla. This was probably the best quality Hojicha I've had. It was super smooth and had the perfect amount of nuttiness to it. I wish they had more options for flavors (like a strawberry puree), then I would be coming here every week! Overall, very good spot for Hojicha, and the service is friendly! read more

Visiting Honolulu for the first time and stopped by Daily Whisk Matcha around 10 AM on Saturday after seeing multiple recommendations online. I came specifically to buy matcha powder to take home and wanted to taste it first, which is pretty standard at true matcha shops. Unfortunately, this was not that kind of place. There was a long line, very limited parking, and the shop itself is a very small stall. That alone wouldn't be a dealbreaker -- but the real issue was that this is not a true matcha shop. When I asked to try plain matcha (no milk, no sweetener) before buying, the staff seemed genuinely confused. I had to repeat myself several times. They explained that they only really serve matcha lattes or sweetened drinks (matcha lemonade, syrups, monk fruit, etc.). Eventually, they offered to make something by mixing matcha with hot water and lemon-honey syrup -- not traditional matcha preparation at all. The drink came out extremely hot (almost black-tea hot), served with a plastic lid, and was heavily watered down. The matcha flavor was barely noticeable, overwhelmed by the added syrup, and did not resemble real ceremonial or straight matcha in any way. I ended up throwing most of it out. They also only carry one type of matcha, and everything they serve appears to be designed for milk or sweetened drinks -- not for people who actually drink matcha straight or want to evaluate quality before buying. Because of this experience, I didn't purchase any matcha to take home. Bottom line: If you want sweet matcha lattes, this place may be fine. If you're looking for a serious matcha shop, want to taste plain matcha, or want to buy quality powder with confidence -- this is not it. read more

Listen I'm a matcha fein and I love Daily Whisky with my whole heart so you knew I'd be back. This time I tried the seasonal rose matcha with almond milk... WOW.

Such a cozy shop but parking is limited. Hapa Matcha Latte ($7) - I'm not a matcha expert but the matcha was chefs kiss and well balanced with the hojicha. One didn't overpower the other and wasn't too sweet. read more

I have had mixed views of this place for a while. My sister and mom went here a long time ago and mentioned that their drinks had little to no matcha flavor. However, I always see so many people there on the lanai, so I thought "this place must me good!" I decided to try it out for myself today at KIK Saturday. I was very disappointed. I got the matcha lilikoi lemonade and all I could taste was sour lemonade. I tried so hard to taste matcha, but it nowhere to be found. I also tried so hard to finish it since it was so expensive. So sad and not worth $9. As someone who makes their own matcha at home, I could tell the ratio of matcha to liquid was wrong. When they poured the matcha into my cup, it looked a little bit watery and there was no foam made from whisking. I am not sure if they used 4g of matcha but it didn't taste like they did. My suspicion is that they got the ratios all wrong. Unfortunately, I will not be going back. read more

Shout out to Yelp Elite All Star and friend Irene M. for introducing me to Daily Whisk Matcha! I was a bit hesitant at first because I've had strong matcha in the past and I had a bitter experience lol. Irene assured me that Daily Whisk Matcha is delicious! I know Irene is a matcha expert so I went for it! I'm a believer now!! ; ) I ordered the Matcha Strawberry with Almond milk. It's just under $10! The combination is so darn smooth and delicious! You need to try this place if you haven't yet! The Daily Whisk Matcha is a quaint drink spot with a clothing store and local goods next door. Service is 5/5 stars. Friendly, smiles abound and informative. They let me take all the time I needed to decide which drink to try. Thank you Irene! Free parking and restroom available here. Support Local! Here's to another great adventure! read more

Cute little matcha shop next to a local boutique. I got the hapa latte which is matcha and hojicha, I subbed it with oat milk. It's sweetened with Maui honey. Personally I could have used some extra sweetener because I couldn't taste the honey but I could tell the matcha was high quality. I think the legit seasoned matcha drinkers like this level of sweetness, I'm trying to work myself down from needing so much sweetener, but I'm not there yet. My sister got the strawberry matcha and it was sweeter from the fruit and would have been a better option for me. There's seating for about 10-15 spread out over the place. It was full when I got there at 1230 on a Wednesday, but I got a spot by time my order was ready. I also got the cheese and mushroom bun which was excellent. The few parking spots in front of the building were full so I parked for an hour across the street in the municipal lots, it was only $1. The service was fast and the server at the window was friendly and answered some questions I had about the hojicha since I hadn't tried it before. I also overheard her being super helpful to someone asking more detail about the different drinks. Overall I would return, I would like to try some of their seasonal specials next! read more

Daily whisk always has good matcha for an affordable price. This review is about 2 weeks overdue, but wanted to finally leave my thoughts! We went after having lunch nearby. Walked over after parking in the paid lot. They have a few stalls outside their cafe but it's limited, and a bit tricky getting in and out of. They do sell their own matcha powder which they use to make their drinks. Service is always friendly, drinks are always good and I always finish it too quickly. I will definitely be back to try other drinks like kurogoma on the menu! read more

You can definitely taste and see the quality of their matcha. The vibrant green hue of their drinks stands out so much from a typical matcha drink you get from most coffee shops! My friend brought me here because I was looking for spots to buy matcha and I was told that a lot of spots will source their matcha from them. It's quiet and a bit tucked away but there's a parking lot and small porch area for people to chill and wait for their drinks. I got the matcha lilikoi soda, it had a nice tang to it and was so pleasantly refreshing on a hot day. My group had just come from another coffee shop but once I offered her a taste of mine she couldn't resist getting her own (despite getting a matcha latte at our last stop already). I ended up buying a tin of matcha because I enjoyed it so much and I'm excited to try making my own drinks at home! read more

Always on the hunt for a good matcha spot wherever I go! I'm from CA and wanted to see if Hawaii had a good matcha place. The matcha flavor was definitely there, though it tasted a little watery to me. On the plus side, they use good ceremonial matcha powder, they make drinks super fast, and there's a small seating area if you want to enjoy it there. They also offer an array of sweeteners which I thought was really cool. The place itself is a bit small, and parking can be tricky, but overall, it's a solid spot for matcha in Hawaii. Cool Note: They sell whisks, mugs, bowls, and matcha powder there! They have a package where buying a whisk and matcha powder is around $50 read more

While in Kaimuki wanted to try this spot as I read the reviews and I am always looking for a good Matcha tea place. They are located in the same building as 1011. They have a few stalls in front but parking is tight and you won't be able to turn around if the parking is full as there is no room you would have to reverse out. There was a little line to order, but once I ordered the drinks came out pretty quickly. I ordered a strawberry matcha and the matcha Lilikoi sparkling fizzy drink. That was really refreshing! As far as the strawberry matcha drink. It was too sweet for me. I've had better strawberry matcha drinks made with fresh strawberries. This one seemed like they used a syrup. The matcha tea had a nice taste thou. read more

I was craving a matcha during my visit here and found this spot on tik tok. Parking here is super tough. They have a small parking lot in front with 4-5 spots but it was full when I went. I had to go around and find a metered spot about a block down which isn't too bad! Just be prepared to look for parking. Make sure you also don't park across the street. The matcha place has signs about parking so make sure to be aware. The service was good! Everyone was super friendly and answered all my questions about the drinks. Even though I ordered a couple of drinks, I can only talk about the strawberry matcha because it was the one I got for myself. Strawberry matcha, 3/5 I liked the matcha a lot but I think the strawberry flavor wasn't my favorite. The strawberry flavor here was more milky which I wasn't used to. When I come again, I'll just grab a regular matcha latte. read more

Another day, another matcha! Came go try out Daily Whisk as I've heard a lot of great things. The line was flowing out down the main set of stairs, but moved very quickly. Looking over the menu, I saw they had a seasonal Guava Vanilla Matcha but settled on the Hapa Matcha Latte (Half Matcha, Half Hojicha) and a Strawberry Matcha Lemonade. I wish the Hapa was a tad sweeter, but I also forgot to ask if it came sweetened or not. The staff is all so kind and welcoming. I even inquired about the matcha powder and will be returning when I finish my current one! If you're looking for a quick stop with a calm atmosphere, come to Daily Whisk! read more

Cute little matcha shop with delicious matcha drinks. I decided to get the Strawberry Matcha. The strawberry purée was the perfect amount to add the strawberry flavor without overpowering the matcha. The matcha itself was fantastic. It wasn't too busy when we came, which was around noon on a Friday.

Staff: fully staffed Interior: connected to Ten Tomorrow Exterior: order at door, limited seating on porch Wait time: 5-10 mins Parking: a few free stalls in front or paid lot across the street Overall comments: cute n' popular matcha spot in Kaimuki. Offer a variety of daily n' seasonal drinks + some pastries. I remember the matcha being more strong in flavor, not sure if this time around there was too much ice. Also, there wasn't much guava in the guava latte. I actually enjoyed n' preferred the iced hojicha latte that I got for mah hubz. Even though this visit wasn't 5 stars, from my past experience it's a good place to hang or to stop by n' pick up your daily drink! read more

during my visit to Oahu , I went to a lot of different Matcha places and I think that this was honestly my favorite Matcha so far. I got the strawberry Matcha with oat milk and I felt the Matcha was just strong enough and also had a harmonious combination with the strawberry purée and oat milk. My husband got the hojicha Matcha, which was so delightful and really good. The only downside is that you have to drink the Matcha really quickly because when the ice dilutes it doesn't taste as good. But the cashier was really kind and friendly and I really enjoyed my experience here. They decorated the place really nicely, especially for the holidays and it was really cute. The parking is quite small so you might have a little bit of a harder time finding parking, but it's tucked away and if you can go, I highly recommend. read more

Cute spot kinda tucked away. Has a nice covered porch. The parking lot is pretty small but they show other parking options.

Overall the matcha flavor isnt too strong. read more

Decided to come back and try Daily Whisk's Matcha again, because I haven't had their matcha in a long time! ***What I ordered ~ **Matcha Latte with Oat Milk Sweetened with Cane Sugar (6/10) ~ The matcha powder is really good and doesn't leave a gritty taste in your mouth. However, I personally think it's a little too creamy/milky. I think if they gave this to me in a 12oz cup it would taste a lot better because it would cut back on the milk. It also might help me taste the matcha a lot more! Honestly, it was okay. Overall, Their drinks are alright, not a huge fan of their customer service. We went on a pretty slow day and arrived an hour and a half before they closed. We just trying to clarify things for my drink and they just responded really rudely for no reason. Will I come back? Probably not. read more

Matcha can be such a refreshing drink with a healthy amount of caffeine. (Yes, I attempt to drink caffeine in moderation. Don't you?) They have many different matcha drink options and combos. Such as strawberry matcha, or a dirty matcha (coffee and matcha). They have different types of syrups that you can add to your dr They have iced teas if matcha isn't your jam. But it really should be cuz the matcha here is amazing. It's made to order and you can choose your choice of milk. The service is quick and pleasant. They have a small parking space but people go in and out all the time. Across the street there is municipal parking. read more

Unsure why rating is so high here for matcha. I make my own at home and like to try different matcha spots. Only when I arrived and looked up on TikTok that people did not like it but I already took a 30min bus ride and parking isn't great here.

This small, local, woman-owned matcha and coffee shop in Kaimuki continues to serve up some of the best matcha on the island. They use high-quality matcha that's never grainy or overpowering, and their creative drinks take matcha to the next level. The Matcha Lilikoi Soda ($9) is made with house-made passionfruit syrup--fizzy, tart, sweet, and perfectly balanced with earthy matcha. The Matcha Lemonade ($7.75) is made with house-made lemonade that hits the spot! Lately, my go-to has been the Hapa Latte, a mix of their hojicha and matcha that's the best of both worlds--earthy, toasty, and smooth. I love not having to choose between two of my favorites! For food, I've had the cheese and mushroom puff and the arabiki and bacon bun--both amazing choices, but the cheese and mushroom puff is my absolute fav. They often have speciality food items or sometimes on the weekend different vendors. There's a little parking lot right in front with free parking, plus a larger paid lot across the street. Seating is limited, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot, but it's also dog-friendly! Be sure to check out the small boutique next door, where you might meet the cutest shop dogs. Great service, amazing matcha, free parking, and tasty baked treats--definitely one of my favorite spots on island! read more

Located outside of the hub of restaurants in Kaimuki, in a building that looks like a house, Daily Whisk Matcha serves up delicious matcha drinks. There is a small parking lot in front, but if you can't find spaces you can always park across the street as well. I got the half matcha half hojicha drink and it was divine. The two flavors go perfectly together and was a nice refreshing flavor for a hot day. I also got their bread which was heated up and just so buttery! There is some seating both in front of the counter and on the opposite side where there's a patio. This is honestly one of the best matcha drink places I've ever been to and is worth braving the parking for. read more

Parking was a little tight, with only about six spots available, but that seems to be a sign of how popular this place is since the line was already pretty long when we arrived.

In fact, it might even be one of the best matcha lattes on the island. read more

Daily Whisky Matcha is a popular spot in Kaimuki with high-quality matcha, simple but complementary baked goods, a perfect balance where the open air concept of a plantation home meets a modern and sleek, minimalist design. Their matcha is smooth, creamy, and earthy without being too bitter. They also offer alternative milk options for an additional cost. I love their baked goods! The cheese and mushroom puff is my fave. Everything about it is just right. Not too much of any one flavor or texture. The arabiki and bacon bun is another household favorite of ours as well. Service is always friendly and helpful. Price is higher compared to others but it's worth the cost considering the quality of the matcha. Open daily from 8-4. Small parking lot with I think 5 stalls and one accessible stall (please don't park in this stall unless you or someone in your vehicle has the appropriate placard). There's ample parking across the street which is helpful and just a hop, skip and jump from the shop. I highly recommend Daily Whisk Matcha if you're looking to change it up, elevate your matcha game, or just a lover of matcha! read more
