I was going to walk along the Ala Wai, but I decided to go over on the Kapiolani side and walk that way. It is the long way around but when I felt like I needed caffeine, I remembered this small unassuming cafe. Friendly good morning when I walked in. He apologized for the wait, but it gave me time to look at the scones. I ordered their signature Honey Cinnamon latte. This was amazing! Their coffee beans are excellent! I should've asked who their supplier was! Me: Acai or Pitaya? What do you think? He: How about half and half? Lot's of customers ask for this. Sooooooo good! Plus I got to try both. I also had a blueberry scone which was very good! Perfect breakfast to start the day! I sat at a small table in the front. Their dining room is actually a good size even though small. Mahalo Pai! I'll be back again soon!

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!

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.

Da Cove Health Bar & Cafe always hits the craving when you're looking for something fresh and…read moresatisfying. The colorful artwork throughout the cafe gives it a unique and welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the Açaí Da Cove (Small) with granola, banana, strawberry, and honey. The fruit was fresh, the granola added a nice crunch, and the honey brought everything together perfectly. It was refreshing, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. We also tried the Strawberry Zowie smoothie and the Piña Colada smoothie. Both were delicious. The Strawberry Zowie was smooth and packed with fresh strawberry and banana flavor, while the Piña Colada was creamy, refreshing, and a great complement to the açaí bowl. Fresh ingredients, friendly service! Parking is tight but worth it.

I used to love coming here for the açaí bowls, but my most recent visit was incredibly…read moredisappointing. I'm honestly wondering what happened. Whatever is currently being served as "açaí" tastes nothing like açaí. Instead of the rich, dark berry flavor and texture I was expecting, it was a strange lavender-colored mixture that seemed heavily diluted and lacked the authentic taste of açaí altogether. I've been a customer for years, so this wasn't just a one-off first impression. The quality seems to have changed dramatically, and it's frustrating to pay premium prices for something that barely resembles an açaí bowl. I truly hope Da Cove revisits their recipe or ingredients because this used to be one of my favorite spots. Unfortunately, this experience left me disappointed and unlikely to return until the quality improves.

The space is clean and comfortable with couches, tables, small chairs, and counter space for a variety of patrons. I went on a weekday, and it was comfortable and quiet, and there was plenty of space to find a seat. The bathroom was accessible and incredibly clean for a town bathroom. Whether you're studying, hanging out with friends, doing work, or just listening to music as I was; the space is proper, and the coffee is even better. I had chosen a hot chai latte with almond milk for this rainy day and sat near the window to just enjoy the vibes. It was delicious and perfect for the weather. Not too spicy and a great foam on top. Pricing is reasonable, and they even offer food items that you can munch on with your coffee. Perhaps I'll have to try the food during a future visit. The staff was friendly and quick with my order and even brought it to my table after ordering. I never felt rushed at all, and it was nice to have found a comfortable space to enjoy a nice cup during the rainy weather. I'll most certainly be coming back again next time I'm in the area.

The tofu on the bottom made it similar to a coffee jelly drink with tofu as well as the strong hints of black sesame throughout the drink. I highly recommend trying it if you want to drink something that doesn't make you feel guilty after! Also to note I felt so full after drinking this drink LOL! That Tofu packed on a lot of protein and kept me full felt really energized after as well! Their bubble waffle is forever my favorite with a perfect crunchy outer and fluffy inner. I only go here for bubble waffles. Ambiance is so clean, bright, and cute. It definitely reminds me of a cute cafe you'd find in Korea! Definitely stop by :) it's one of my favorite cafes to visit.
