I was staying on site and came here for my daily coffee. I felt like the girls behind the register were so personable and kind. I would say that the coffee drinks are better than the food options, although the food wasn't bad. There is great seating availability there, but to be honest, there were some feral kids while I was trying to relax in peace as I was on a staycation from town. The views from the coffee shop are gorgeous, and if you need table space, there is plenty of options for you. read more

Finally made my way out to NS to try the infamous banana bread latte. It truly breaks me to write this as I had high hopes for it... but it wasn't the greatest. I will say that if you like your coffee sweet and like a creamier banana type coffee, this is for you. Buuut if you want that authentic local grammas baking kine banana bread, this coffee is not it. The baristas working were friendly and greeted me right away. The service was fast. Will I try it again? Probably not. But it was fun to try! read more

Note: Poor costumer service from the ladies at the counter. My little sister and I came here a couple of times to get coffees and matchas in the morning, and then an açaí bowls by mid-day the next. Ho'olana is the main coffee shop for the Ritz Carlton, meaning that you can expect a big line for that coffee rush in the morning. We got their iced strawberry matcha latte, which was really good, sweet, and had dairy substitutes available. We also got a banana bread and a muffin, both of which were okay, but not great. We came back the next day and got their banana bread latte was good, and has more of that caffeine kick if that's what you're looking for. We also ordered the açaí bowl, which was definitely pricey for the size, AND they ran out of strawberries, which was unfortunate. The açaí bowl was okay, but not worth the price for what it was. You can skip this one. The most notable thing, though, was the customer service. The ladies taking orders and preparing the pre-made food were very poor in customer service, help, and not willing to assist what-so-ever. They always seemed annoyed that people were ordering, and put a damper on the overall whole cafe experience. My grandma, who wanted to come here for her birthday in the morning, had additionally wanted to ask them what time they opened, as they had just closed, but instead of answering the question, or referring her online, they cut her off and said that they were closed, so they won't be assisting further. If you want anything other than a drink or a pastry, like a sandwich, then you should also expect a pre-made sandwich ALL with mustard and mayonnaise. All of them (is at least what they said when we asked if any didn't have that.) Thankfully, the view from the windows in the coffee lounge seating area makes up for some of the bad vibes. read more

Ho'olana - Acai Bowl, Matcha, and an Iced Banana Bread Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kahuku, Hawaii

This is a convenient coffee shop in the lobby. We appreciate the efficient service and healthy vegetarian snack options. The prices are what you'd expect, not love lol, but expect. The banana bread lattes are seriously so good. Like a dessert- much sweeter than my normal lattes, but a nice little treat. The matchas are good if you add the Mac vanilla ? I'm not sure, my kid had a syrup w macadamia something added and it was very good. I had the dirty chai and it was really good as well. Espresso they use it not that strong, so add a few extra shots if you need that pick me up. Even w the added shots, didn't do much for me. Even Starbucks shots are much stronger. read more

Located inside the lobby of Turtle Bay. Ordered the infamous BBL as an iced latte with soy milk and it did not disappoint. I literally drank it within 5 minutes. It's a bit pricey, but it's so so good. read more

I was hesitant to make the drive here because I live in town and it takes hours to get to the North Shore side depending on traffic. I was also hesitant because I heard about the drink from TikTok and was previously disappointed when trying another coffee spot that was raved about for the exact same drink. Needless to say, I decided to make the drive, hoping the coffee was just as good as everyone said it was. When I got to the hotel, I walked through the lobby and found the Ho'olana cafe. The people working there were really nice and greeted me as soon as I got into the line. I already knew what I wanted beforehand so I was pretty much in and out within minutes. I decided to try their banana bread latte and it was absolutely delicious! My coffee tasted exactly like a banana bread! There was no mistake about the flavor! The scenery was also gorgeous and there was seating facing the windows, which overlooked the ocean. Overall, it was an amazing view with an amazing cup of coffee! I would definitely come back for the banana bread latte, even if I have to drive from town to get it. read more

After lunch at the Beach House we wanted espresso and our server recommended this place. The service is friendly and fast, the views are amazing and the coffee delicious!! It's quiet with cozy chairs and also community benches. I could have been here all afternoon watching the waves roll in. I ordered a coconut latte with coconut milk and it tasted like summer! My husband and I also shared a chocolate hip cookie that was tasty. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Food/drink - excellent. Everything is top notch and extremely well prepared. Limited menu compared to a full restaurant but very reasonable for a café. Drink menu is robust with plenty of non-dairy creamer/milk substitutes. Service - excellent again. Team is efficient and works well together. The line is always moving quickly even during the warning hours. Ambience - it's in turtle Bay... You have a view of sunrise from the bay windows in the café. How could it be any better? read more

This cafe was the best part of the resort. Banana Bread latte was the highlight of course. Our new addiction. And the food was good too! On top of that, some of the nicest and FASTEST employees behind the counter. Maybe ever. Thank you so much for being awesome during our stay!! read more

Get the banana bread latte! The latte has a light banana flavor and is topped with cinnamon! Not super overpowering and well balanced! read more

Came to try the banana bread latte! It was more cinnamon with a hint of banana. Everyone was so nice and the drink came out quick. Sat the window overlooking the beach. read more

I am a bit of a coffee snob and prefer fancy pour overs and third-wave coffee shops. That said, this place is fantastic! Their drip coffee is so full and flavorful (notes of chocolate and nuttiness). Their espresso drinks work very well with their espresso blend and are well balanced. My expectations are low for a resort coffee shop, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were very professional and on top of things (even when busy). I found myself going here twice a day -- delicious! read more

This place is very reasonable considering they are in the Ritz Carlton hotel. Everything is fresh. They have really good oatmeal and overnight oats with Chia pudding. Where is it? Don't go to the same place for breakfast all the time but it's so convenient and very healthy. Hawaii's that have the healthiest options and this place is great, especially if you're traveling read more

The only redeeming quality of this place is the view -- and that's where the positives end. We ordered a chocolate croissant, a butter croissant, a quiche, and some coffee. Unfortunately, the croissants were a major letdown. They were soft, flavorless, and had none of the texture or richness you'd expect from a proper croissant. Frankly, they looked and tasted like someone's first attempt at baking -- and not a successful one. The quiche was even worse. Calling it a quiche feels like an insult to actual quiches. It lacked flavor, structure, and any trace of quality -- it honestly shouldn't be on the menu. Coffee was just okay. Nothing special, certainly not worth returning for. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and polite, and the service was fine overall. But unless you're only coming for the view, there are far better places to spend your time and mone read more

I stopped here to get a coffee at the ritz. You can walk around the property and shop even if you're not staying there. The service was okay. The staff seemed rushed and weren't super friendly but the coffee was great so it doesn't entirely matter. The inside was big with lots of window seating facing turtle bay. They sell snacks and stuff too. Worth the stop. The coffee isn't something I'd come out of my way for but it scratched the itch. read more

We like to drive up to Turtle Bay on the weekend with our dog. We have enjoyed so many afternoons here with coffee enjoying the view. Today we arrived after they closed at 4pm and sat down to watch the storm. Kalei came up behind us with a giant pup cup for our dog and asked if it was okay. We really appreciated the thoughtful gesture when we weren't even visiting during business hours. Thank you Kalei and all the staff for always treating us well read more

BBL (banana bread latte). Get IT. So good. Ordered it 3 days in a row during our stay at the Ritz Carlton and it was amazing. The employees are pleasant and the flavors literally made my eyes roll back. So so delicious. read more

Had the best coffee and experience at this spot! The banana bread latte is wonderful and Jaz the barista is the sweetest ever! So warm and kind, loved talking to her. Made my morning :) read more

A fairly mixed review for the cafe/coffee bar at the Ritz Carlton Turtle Bay. The banana bread latte (can also be made as a matcha - we got both) was delicious. Maybe a little sweet for our liking but the flavors were incredible! The quiche was terrible. I read this in another review and tested it for myself... they were spot on. It was very dry. The crust was tasteless cardboard. Did not enjoy and for $14?! Not worth your money. The veggie lunch wrap was quite good as well, would also purchase again if I was looking for a quick lunch. Not sure if she was the manager or just a more senior employee but there was one middle aged woman who was not friendly or nice whatsoever. We tried to order lunch at 10:25 (they open the lunch menu at 10:30) and she was quite snarky about it. read more

This is an amazing breakfast place that gets your food out quickly and has a great view of the cove and beach.

Coffee drinks and good food with an unbelievable view of Kuilima Cove - not a bad way to start the day! I tried their PSL and it was good. I also got their egg white breakfast sandwich ($13) and lemon poppyseed bread. My friend got the breakfast pizza ($18) it was my favorite item! They serve it was salsa. It was definitely a winner! They have a meat breakfast pizza with sausage and cheese and eggs as well as a veggie one. We tried the veggie one. I used to come here before Turtle Bay renovated and it was called the Lobby Lounge. It's definitely been upgraded! The staff were very kind and helpful. I will be back :) read more

Oh my gosh - best coffee ever!! I had an iced latte with oat milk and mac nut with coconut. Another in our group had same thing but with vanilla instead of coconut. It was a dream! I'm a coffee snob. I have 2 top coffees and this is one of them. Super special. Staff could have been a little more polite/welcoming, nothing terrible but they didn't exactly match the caliber of the resort, views and delicious coffee. The views are incredible!! Worth enjoying a coffee and the incredible views! read more

Started every morning at this lobby counter restaurant to get coffee or relayed morning beverages. The staff was always friendly possibly aware I had recently rolled out of my bed and came downstairs to get my daily caffeine intake. You've got a counter with about three people working and a comfortable area of the lobby to sit. It's all counter service. I didn't try the food. Prices are a bit high but it's a luxury resort. I had a vanilla latte that was delicious. Coffee was good too. read more

Location and view is spectacular.... inside the newly remodeled Turtle Bay Resort. Menu and selection are more than one would expect. Lounge area is large and comfortable. Prices are high-ish (but then again so is everything in Hawaii). Staff was super friendly and anticipated needs by offering ice for my drink and honey for the parfait (unsweetened yogurt). I'll be back for sure! read more

Banana latte is amazing. Made with cinnamon and caramel. Also had their burritos and oatmeal. Pretty pricey but convenient when you're staying in the hotel. read more

The food is good and I here are several healthy options. They have a variety of cold items ready made like smoothies, overnight oats, chia pudding and such. The hot items are quickly reheated. The staff, like all the staff at Turtle Bay, are very good and friendly. My only ding is that their drip coffee is utterly weak and blah. If you want a mocha or such I've heard they are good but there should be at least two options of a dark and light roast on tap. read more

LOVE this coffee shop! Their mocha is delicious and the spam musubi is incredible too, however, too bad they stopped selling it lately.

can't complain about the coffee and chocolate chip cookie, but can indeed wreak havoc on the peanut butter cookies and banana bread. they were genuinely disgusting and such a let down and i will never let them touch my taste buds again. CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED read more
