First time visiting the Island Vintage Wine Bar in Royal Hawn Shopping Center. Went around 5pm for…read morean early dinner. Pesto Chicken Sandwich, Burger and Garlic Shrimp was delicious! Large servings, great service, and a perfect place to eat with our friend from Japan. **Kamaʻāina and military guests can receive 3 free hours of parking at the Royal Hawaiian Center by presenting a minimum of $25 in same-day receipts (which can be combined across different stores/restaurants), along with your parking ticket and a valid Hawaiʻi State ID, Driver's license, or Military ID.The validation process is handled exclusively at Helumoa Hale Guest Services (located near the center stage, Building A, Level 1) between the hours of 11:00 AM and 8:00 PM, 7 days a week.

The cafe was beautiful, I would totally study here if they were open for longer. The cashier was…read moregreat and she suggested great items. She's also so pretty!! There was parking behind the building and it's free but very limited. I got the strawberry glow smoothie which was inspired from Hailey Beiber's smoothie at Erewhon, and $18. It was pretty good though and lowkey filling, I would compare this to an acai bowl in a cup. It was very thick and it tasted a little like bananas, there was a lot of good ingredients that benefit you though.

Parking: lot located behind the restaurant…read more Service: take out, the staff offered helpful recommendation on their smoothie offerings Ambiance: cozy, intimate. Has a large sitting area perfect for getting work done or meeting with friends. Food: a wellness cafe that went viral for their erewhon dupe smoothies (pricey, but elevated). Would recommend the minted greens, a take on a mint chocolate chip.

We need more plant shops like this on island!…read more I love coming here to get my plant fix. The plants are so beautiful and every time I go, an employee has helped me. It was also very nice because I wanted a specific plant and they took my name down so they can let me know when it comes in. One of my favorite plant shops on island!

Iniital visit the other day to Plantoem...a cafe / plant nursery. It's been open for awhile on…read moreWaialae Avenue in what may be the smallest two-story shopping plaza in town, Lafite Plaza. Go up the ramp to dedicated parking stalls for patrons; avoid the stalls demarcated, reserved. There are street metered stalls along Lafite and, the adjacent structure, Kaimuki Plaza. Plantoem offers a relaxing ambiance upon entrance. Navigate the jungle of plants to access the cafe counter. I requested the Yerba Mate which is only available for in-house. A container with filtered straw was provided alongside a thermal carafe...there was enough hot water for 2.5 servings. The barista was a bit bemused when I ( humorously ) mentioned I swallowed some sediment from the straw...not being used to drinking yerba mate in this traditional way. I felt a little less of a gringo after that beverage. The main dining area is to the left. A nook to the back of the counter is a laptop/device free zone...and I sat in that hideaway...perused a book on interior design ( a few books are available) ...and enjoyed the yerba mate. Hours are from 700a till 500p - Mondays thru Thursdays. Fridays are 700a to 700p. Saturdays are 1000a - 700p. Sundays: 1000a until 500p.

Good things come to those who wait. I only wish there were more people here specifically waiting…read morefor the coffee because it was absolutely delicious! Sadly, it seemed more folks were there for the pastries though. First off, I'm surprised I found such a fabulous cup of coffee in what feels like the epicenter of tourist life on this island. While visiting another island nearly establishment had signage stating they served Kona and/or Hawaiian coffee, but nearly every establishment's coffee was absolutely awful. Seeing the location I fully expected them to phone in the coffee, but it's clear that coffee comes first here, even if many of the guests are trying to get pastries! You'll be shocked by the line, but just know the staff is efficient and it moves fast. They offer a variety of their own locally roasted beans here, with options for batch brew, espresso drinks and even pour overs (impressive considering the volume of customers). The coffees are well described and the baristas have the additional knowledge you may be seeking when you order, and all in all this went as quickly as I could have expected. Truly, the coffee was delightful, and the fact I was drinking a hot drink on an extremely hot day didn't even phase me. I wanted so badly to bring home a bag of each one, but given that everything is more expensive in Hawaii, these were all 4x the price of the specialty coffee I buy on the mainland and I just couldn't make it happen. What will happen is me telling everyone to visit this shop when they're in Hawaii because it is 100% worth it. Won't you consider opening one in Reno NV?

Long line, oven was broken, so only coffee and desserts available…read more Ordered a "Kona" coffee for $5. Quite frankly it's one of the worst cups of coffee I had. Watery, flavorless. This can't be Kona coffee, and if it was, they don't know how to brew it. Terribly horrible, really expensive coffee. Don't bother.

It's another Sunday search with my hubby. We wanted something small for breakfast and decided to…read moregive Cafe Lapin a try. Sunday street parking is free so we parked in one of the metered stalls on Sheridan Street. Free parking This place is located on the 3rd floor. We opted to take the stairs to get our steps in but there is also an elevator available. The shop is very tidy and for seating, inside there is a communal table for up to 6 and a table for 2. Outside there are tables on the lanai area. The menu is limited but has both sweet and savory options as well as a good selection of coffees and teas. Today we tried the Guava with cream cheese and Black Sesame with cream cheese. The bread made made both yummy! Both were not too sweet and served in a lovely presentation. Prices were pushing the wallet for the serving size however, I can understand it because of the time and effort that it takes to make the toast presentation make you do a double take. Overall, the service was good and we did not feel rushed at all. We were able to slow down our typical pace and just enjoy each other's company. This definitely a place I would love to share a mommy-daughter breakfast excursion.

When my husband was looking for some coffee after we landed in Honolulu and our first option wasn't…read moregoing to work, I ended up quickly spotting this seemingly quaint Japanese cafe and am glad it was good and a lovely, peaceful vibe! It's a bit hard to find though. Located on the top floor of a complex with other food options. You take the elevator up. I'd recommend parking in the Walmart structure across the street because otherwise parking is also hard to find. I got a seasonal drink (white sesame kinako latte with a shot of matcha) and at $11 it was maybe the priciest cup of caffeine I've ever had haha. But it was interesting and tasty and got me refreshed, so worth savoring as a special treat. My husband got a maple cocoa cold foam coffee and it was also delicious! We also got a couple of baked items, which took a while (barista did thank us for waiting) to come out but the tuna melt toast especially hit the spot. The dashi tamago sando was just alright. They also have dessert treats which looked delicious.

But also, you don't feel rushed to order once inside. There's an attached parking structure that's free but if you go during prime times (literally any time on the weekend or during lunch on a weekday), it does get a little full and you may have to circle a couple times.

5/5 for taste. 0/5 for possible food safety reasons…read more The matcha latte is pretty good as well as the baked goods. Theres always a long line. The only issue I have is that one time, there was a fly that landed on one of the bread. I notified the women. The women shooed the fly away but did not throw that bread away. Flies lands on decaying things/poop, which has bacteria that will stay on the fly, and the fly lands on the products, the bacteria can contaminate the products and make people really sick. She just continued on like nothing happened. I should have taken a picture. But someone next in line to me also saw it. 5/5 when it comes to taste 0/5 for food safety. Concerning what happens behind the scenes...

They didn't have tons of matcha flavors, but we ordered: Strawberry Matcha 4/5 Lemonade Matcha 4/5 It has to be a 4/5 for me cause although the quality was the best, it wasn't the best flavors. I've had places that do both. I love a good balance of strawberry and matcha, this one the strawberry flavor wasn't super noticeable. That's probably more of a preference thing though. It's a super small quaint spot. There's seats available, but it's more of a pick up and go spot. They have restrooms and a little shop to buy custom local swag. The service was good, nothing crazy! Not tons of parking. Overall, I would totally come back!

It's a small shop so it can get crowded and they have 2 outdoor patio tables. I ordered the guava vanilla matcha and my friend got the strawberry matcha. Upon first sip we both thought it was quite good but the matcha is very subtle. I do find that this is the type of drink you have to finish fast cause once the ice is melted it waters down your drink.

Absolutely love this shop! The atmosphere is very nice, just limited seating. The only con is that…read moreparking is limited (street parking). I always go for the blueberry matcha.

There was a perfect balance of blueberry flavor and tang that went well with the rich matcha. I would definitely come back to try their other aesthetic bottled drinks. Vibe: The inside of the cafe is quite small, but they have a cool outdoor seating area on the side on the store. I loved the decor on the inside and outside seating areas. Parking: There's free street parking in front of and around the store.
