During our most recent trip to Oahu, Spider-Man- Brand New Day made its debut. My wife and I…read moredecided to take the kids to Kahala Mall to watch it. Before entering the theaters, we made a quick stop at Starbucks. This location was clean, organized and easy to visit. Really pleased with the great service and friendly staff. Baristas worked fast and efficiently, and made sure every drink was served in a timely manner. From start to finish, we were out of there within 5 to 10 minutes and on our way to watch our movie. My only gripe is that they serve drinks (hot or cold) in compostable fiber-based cups. They no longer use plastic cold drink cups! Why? Apparently, this change is due to local regulations and Starbucks' sustainability efforts. Which is kind of a bummer, because it takes away from the aesthetic of the drink in my opinion!

The baristas at this location are super helpful and fast! I'm always impressed at the efficiency…read morebut then again I'm not one to frequent Starbucks unless people give me gift cards (lol)... Upon my most recent run to use up my gift card to Starbucks I stumbled upon a Protein Matcha??? I mean why the hell not so I decided to try it. I used to drink a shiz ton of protein shakes in middle/high school ... (never again) but I couldn't tell if I was even tasting that or the matcha... So maybe it was a success in making it a matcha taste like protein ??? Or maybe the protein was flavored to taste like matcha ... Either way I would pass. Order something else or just eat a steak instead if you need protein - I just ordered because I was curious LOL

Came in on Easter Sunday and got ice cream. There was just one girl working by herself and handling…read moreit ALL on her own and the line was up to the door. Her manager or a lady who is a higher up was here and she was no help at all, she just sat on the side. I felt so bad for her because I get it - I work at a boba place and work by myself during rushes and this poor girl is making sundaes and milkshakes all by herself. I truly commend her! However, I take away one star because the manager should be helping or at least having someone come in early. The girl working literally said "someone needs to come in because I can't do it all myself" and the manager said "that's how it is suck it up" like that's very unfair. Props to this awesome girl tho!

I've always loved stopping by IL Gelato every time I'm at Kahala Mall!…read more I love how some of the flavors rotate sometimes so that I can try new flavors. The gelato is always super good no matter what flavor I get, although I especially like the ube cookies and cream! The texture is very nice; the gelato is smooth but still a little sticky. I haven't tried the affogato personally, but my mom also recommends that as well. The service is always good here. The staff is always willing to let you sample flavors so that you can decide what you want. They bring good vibes and seem happy to help. The menu has a good variety, and I feel that there's just enough flavors of gelato to choose from. The only complaint I have is that the portions are a little small for the prices, but in my opinion the gelato is still worth your time and money. The circular design of the place is nice, and I like the displays, the presentation of the different flavors of gelato, and how the menu is nice and legible. The place is nice and simple and is not more than it needs to be. Don't forget to get the ube cookies and cream if they have it when you go!!

Brain freeze... This…read morecute little spot at the entrance of Makiki Shopping Village has much more than you realize as I was there for a pop up but was busy in the morning then decided to grab a smoothie here as the day started to warm up. Love that they have shave ice along with coffee and tea as well but it has to be the smoothie which comes in two sizes and with a dozen flavor choices for you to choose from I decided on a Strawberry and Guava and as she rung me up asked if I was interested in a bento as well for $6 it had me thinking what a deal and it was beautifully packed but already have lunch ready I decided to pass but what a wonderful day as well. My smoothie was slightly sweet but a perfect flavor combination I must say and I really enjoyed and needed it as I took just a few sips brought the smoothie level down half way and was gone before I knew it. Loved this refreshing treat especially when you can make it your own even to add boba was unexpected but got me hydrated and ready to continue on with my day. Thank you!

They also have a wide variety of different bentos and every one I've tried has been good! They do run out though, that's how good they are.

Can't believe I haven't came to this place since our office moved to the panam building last year…read more My coworker and I just decided to come here last Friday and I'm so glad we did! It's a vegan restaurant and I'm not Vegas but who doesn't love alternative recipes to their favorite foods?! I decided to get the BLT sandwich because although I'm not a fan of tomatoes, I wanted a classic sandwich not realizing the bacon was toasted coconut!!! How cool! I got a little sick eating it... you know that feeling when you eat too much cheesecake and feel sick cuz it's too much? Yeah that feeling. So I gave up eating the coconut and decided to just eat the bread and overall this sandwich is 10/10 chefs kiss* When we ordered drinks, I took the last pressed juice available for the day. I wanted to get the Energizer but next time we'll come earlier. My coworker tried the sunrise smoothie and she said it tasted really healthy. I felt so healthy after eating my food. Next time I want a coffee I'll come by here to try it along with their juices they have. They do close early at 3 pm so it's better to come early while they have some stock in their fridge. It is on the pricier side but you get what you pay for and in today's economy you pay the price to eat healthier. My total all together was $23! Not bad!! 10/10 would come back here!

Sometimes I get to…read morethe farmer's market a bit late and 'Ōma'o Man is sold out... but if there's still juice by the time I get there- I'm getting one! It's $6 for 16oz and $11 for 32oz, with the 32oz coming in a reusable glass mason jar. Some might call this pricey... but there are places out there selling $20+ smoothies. It has a very nice sweet taste made with kale, baby spinach, romaine, baby bok choi, mint, mango, and banana but you mainly taste the fruit! They also do fresh ginger shots! Last time I came by, I got to cut the line when I paid with cash!

The service was okay, and since it's located in the food court, there is plenty of seating available. The mango sugarcane drink was definitely the highlight of our visit. It was refreshing, full of flavor, and something I would absolutely order again. As for the banh mis, they were quite long, but light on fillings, which made them feel a bit underwhelming. The flavor was decent, but nothing particularly memorable, and I didn't think they were worth the price. Our total came to $45.55 for two banh mis and one drink, which felt expensive for what we received. I'd come back for the mango sugarcane drink, but I would skip the bahn mis next time.
