    Stopped by on a Wednesday morning before attending a meeting upstairs. It is located on the first floor in the little food court of the Dole Cannery building. Staff was kind and service was good. A little pricey, but definitely nothing out of the ordinary for a local coffee shop. I ordered an iced mocha with soy milk. It was good, but nothing spectacular. Had to give it a good stir since there was a lot of mocha sauce left at the bottom of the cup (also kinda common with iced mochas). If I ever go back I may try one of their specialty drinks instead. I don't think I would go there for the coffee shop itself, but definitely would go again if I was already there for something else!

    Fred is the owner and he is so kind and knowledgeable about coffee. I ordered a latte and americano and they were both so smooth and delicious. I hate when coffee is bitter or too acidic, but because of the way Fred air roasts the coffee beans , the beans are fragrant and not at all bitter and inedible. The coffee shop is located in the dole cannery so it's a little obscure, but definitely worth stopping by! Very clean and quaint.

    Went off the reviews & got me a Kona Mocha Freeze! It definitely hit the spot. If anyone is looking for part time work, they are hiring. They really need workers. Nice owner too!

    Mostly ice

    We love our coffees and looked forward to trying this spot. Couldn't decide between the Kona Freeze or the Tokyo Cold Brew Float. Decided to go with the float. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed with this drink. It was primarily ice that was then topped with soft serve and very little coffee. Although the soft serve was different and had good flavor, for $8 I definitely expected more and left feeling unsatisfied.

    New location and it looks great. I ordered the Bullet which is their signature coffee. The young woman asked if I wanted "collagen" added, "Huh? Am I getting a facial?" No, thanks. I went to use the bathroom and when I returned, it was ready. I don't know...the coffee was bitter and didn't taste the way it was described: drip coffee, ghee, coconut MCT oil, and vanilla. I didn't even finish it. I thought maybe drinking it with my malasadas would help but it didn't. Not sure if I'd come back. Cute shop though.

    Came across this coffee shop inside the mall across from Costco. They have macadamia nut milk which I have been looking for all over the island! The worker/ owner is very nice and gave great suggestions. I got 2 matchas and a latte and they all taste great! I prefer macadamia nut with my Matcha, it might taste a little water down I with latte if you are not used to it. But if you are normally an almond milk lover, you would like it better w Mac nut milk.

    This local supports local... Located in Dole Cannery across from the theaters one of many tenants in their food court is this delightful shop I believe is once occupied at the Ohana Hale Marketplace. Though I was craving for some coffee after an early morning appointment I couldn't resist the fact that they had matcha as well. Greeted by a delightful lady she crafted my iced matcha with almond milk perfectly and loved that bite matcha is classically known for and that it wasn't too sweet as well. Not just in latte form they also have their famous freeze which is their blended drink but as I waited for my drink I noticed that they have "Tokyo Cold Brew Float" as well since they do have soft serve affogato as well...ooooo!!!! This cozy shop is a delight as their decor does scream all things coffee but this food court setting is quite sad as the location makes it more for neighboring folks who frequents nevertheless seems to be thriving as what they serve is drink made with pride and love it since it's not overly crowded like the mall. I will be back for the float and can see why many do so as well. Thank you!

    Every single time I come home, this place is visited at least 3-5x. We love their coffee. It's toasted fresh every single day and you can absolutely taste the difference. I'm a HUGE fan of the bullet proof with mocha collagen so that tends to be my order. My sister is obsessed with the chai latte and the matcha latte isn't far behind if you're looking for something with a bit less caffeine. It is located inside the Dole Cannery which is full of history and stories. It's where pineapple used to be canned back in the day but now serves as a cool indoor/outdoor plaza with food and shops. The owner Fred is also there quite often and he is just a gem! We love bumping into him when he's here and he'll answer any coffee questions you might have. Sometimes it gets busy depending on what time you go, it might take a bit long but I'm telling you it's 110% worth it!

    I'm visiting from Cali and I Just had the greatest coffee from the island. I ordered the Kona Freeze and it was absolute magic. The owner was very knowledgeable about coffee, and overall gave me and my family the greatest service. Gave us samples of their macadamia milk. He also was so kind and gave my twins a free dole whip sample. Thank you for your outstanding service. See you on our next trip in Oahu. Mahalo

    You can smell the fresh roasted coffee beans as soon as you walk into Dole Cannery. If your not a coffee drinker, they have great options for iced or hot tea's. This time, I got the ginger tea, very overwhelming on the ginger, but the chai tea is delicious. I also got the yellow muffin which was very delicious. Service is friendly and fast.

    Simply amazing coffee. I feel like I am in love with the coffee beans. Hawaii has some of the best coffee. We always try different coffee and discover this cafe. Love the service and learned a lot.

    Kona Mocha Freeze
    Suri S.

    Three words you need to know: Kona Mocha Freeze! One of the best one I've ever had. I'm a big Kona coffee lover and this exceeded my expectations. I remember going often when they used to be at the Ohana Hale Marketplace before moving to their new location! The owner is also l friendly and the service is fairly fast too. You instantly smell the roasting of fresh coffee beans! It's a coffee lover's dream in here! Definitely come by and try their delicious coffee drinks!

    Tokyo cold brew float
    Eri K.

    This coffee shop is a small corner establishment in the Dole Cannery. I noticed it because of all the lights inside and decided to stop by. The Tokyo cold brew float caught my eye on their menu board so I decided to try it...definitely not disappointed! This drink is layered with soft serve ice cream, ice, and cold brew; it's a creamy and refreshing drink especially when it's hot. Service: 5/5, friendly and efficient.

The ambiance here is great though! A very picturesque place! There are also cameras on two tables available and they tend to post it on their instagram which I find so cute!

There are some tote bags, books, pictures, and more around. We felt this gave the place an eclectic and cute feeling to it. The menu has some options and did not feel overwhelming. There were some neat options on the menu such as the Tiramisu Latte and some matchas like the Golden Hour matcha. I decided to get the Strawberry Bonbon drink, which was espresso, chocolate, and strawberry. It was this or the Golden Hour matcha, but the matcha would be about $10 for a small. The Strawberry Bonbon was good! It was like a chocolate covered strawberry in a drink. The owner was also very nice, and talked story for a bit while making the drinks. We will definitely try to make it back to try some of the other drinks!

The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between lively and cozy, with a steady buzz that still feels welcoming. The staff were kind and patient despite the rush, and even with a packed crowd, my drink was ready in under five minutes. Hapa Honey Matcha Latte: 5/5 Mixed with their local artisan honey lillikoi syrup, the Hapa Honey Matcha latte is topped with macadamia nut pineapple cold foam and drizzled generously with local hawaiian honey. The lilikoi and pineapple beautifully balanced the earthiness of the matcha with a bright tropical twist while the macadamia elevated the flavor profile with a creamy nuttiness. Every sip was perfectly sweet without overpowering the matcha's natural umami depth. I also loved the little "Aloha" written in honey on top of the foam - such a cute and thoughtful touch from the baristas! Poʻai absolutely lives up to the buzz with their creative island-inspired drinks! From the thoughtfully crafted flavors to the quick service even during a rush, everything felt intentional and well-executed. This cafe is the kind of spot that makes for a memorable last stop on a trip and is definitely my go-to matcha spot in Oahu. Highly recommend showing some love to this local gem!

I ordered a flat white while my wife ordered an Alohamora, a matcha drink with coconut syrup, cocnut milk, matcha, liliko'i coconut foam, and lime zest. The espresso shot in the flat white was strong and the steamed milk on top was nice and foamy. I only tried a small sip of the Alohamora and liked that it wasn't overly sweet and the matcha wasn't too bitter. I was thinking about picking up a small bite from the pastry case but decided against it once I saw the pricing: a small coffee cake muffin was priced at $8. I understand that local businesses have to charge more to survive, but this was a new record high for me, especially given the size of the pastry. Outside of food and beverages, the space had plenty of seating -- with both a low table with 8 seats and tall table with 12 seats in the room adjacent to where you order and pickup your drinks. The cafe seems like a good place to get work down: the music isn't too loud, there's free WiFi, and there's a single bathroom left of the ordering counter. If you're in this part of town, I suspect you're probably here because of the pastries and baked goods at Mille Fête. If so, definitely head next door to try out a matcha drink from Po'ai.

    This is for my catering experience with Tea at 1024…read more For Galentines, me and my girlfriends decided to take the experience to us. The ordering process was easy thanks to their amazing staff. Their guidance from online ordering to communication over the phone and text, they made our event successful and memorable. There was 5 of us , with a moderate appetite. So, We went with two orders of the "Catering - Sandwiches TO GO" and one order of the "Catering - Scones TO GO". Then our choice of their teas: 1oz Sakura Cherry Rose and 1oz of their Cookies and Cream, which is great with milk and sugar btw. 1oz =at least 12 pours of the tea. If you want 2oz =24 pours of tea. The sandwiches were also delicious, a cute tiny bite of flavor. Which to this day I wish I ordered more since I'm more of a savory girlie. You can choose the sandwiches from their catering or seasonal menu and it comes in 4 pieces. We ordered: Sandwich flavors 24 pieces 1 Sweet egg salad (4) 1 Smoked Salmon with Dill Creme (4) 1 Nutella & Strawberry (4) 1 roasted veggies & hummus (4) 1 Crab & Cheese (4) 1 Cucumber & Avocado (4) My personal Favorites were the Smoked Salmon with Dill Crème and Roasted veggies & Hummus. The scones only available flavors were vanilla bean & earl grey and it also comes with potted cream and jam packed in a to-go cup.

She is not a big eater, so the amount of food was more than enough for her. Normally, she can be a picky eater, but maybe the uniqueness and specialness of the place and occasion encouraged her to be open-minded to new things -- and she genuinely enjoyed everything she tried.
