While visiting Hawaii we were out exploring different parts of the islands when what we had planned…read morefor the afternoon was closed to our surprise. So while driving about and going to the Botanical Gardens we decided we needed a treat. So we started our search and came across the SunRise Shack. This was a great find and really refreshing at the same time. We had 5 different treats and each one of us enjoyed them and felt refreshed and fueled up for the rest of the day. It was a great find on our adventure for the day.

Want a nice healthy treat? This is the place. I'm all bout…read moreefficiency and getting the rundown before I go places so here we go... Logistics Breakdown: -Free Parking (I LOVE free parking), however really busy all the time. Mostly packed during peak hour. -Long lines but you'll be out in 5 mins after you place your order -Online ordering is an option if you're in a rush -Some tables, mostly occupied though They also sell cute apparel to browse while you wait. My only gripe is that it costs a bit much for what you're getting. Flavor is nice and healthy, you don't taste the chunks of dates which I appreciate. But it's still a little more on the bland side but it's good for you! The smoothie doesn't get watery fast at all, so you can enjoy it slowly. If you need a little AC since you've been beaching all day, that's the spot :)

Island Brew Coffeehouse in Hawaii Kai is one of my favorite places to slow down and relax. The…read morespace is beautiful, with plenty of outdoor seating and a peaceful atmosphere that's a nice escape from the busier parts of town. One of the best parts is being able to sit by the water and watch the boats come and go while enjoying your coffee. It feels calm and unhurried, making it a great spot to catch up with friends, get some work done, or simply enjoy a quiet morning. They also have an impressive pastry selection and a wide variety of drink options, so there's something for everyone. The service is consistently friendly and efficient as well. The staff are welcoming, and even when the café is busy, orders come out surprisingly quickly. Between the waterfront views, relaxing ambiance, great menu selection, and excellent service, Island Brew is definitely a place I'd recommend to both locals and visitors looking for a laid-back coffee shop experience. Come for the coffee, stay for the view.

You order then find a place to sit. They will call your name out for the drinks and if you order food, they will bring that to your table. The food was delicious. I had a hard time decided because everything looked so food. We will be back to try more drinks and food. The only complaint I had was the people vaping right next to use and they didn't seem to care or see it as problem.

It was a little crowded inside so I sat outside. Friendly greeting at the counter, I ordered a shot of espresso and the honey lavender latte. I would have to say, the espresso was one of the biggest ones I've ever had which is nice! The latte was delicious and I got it with coconut milk this time. Soooooo good! This really hit the spot!

This one was a bit more bitter. Bonus stars for the free wifi available and beautiful ambiance to chill. This place does get busy I saw a line forming out the door. There are two levels of seating so you can also make your way upstairs to settle there if there is no space downstairs. I heard the food is popular here as well. Haven't made my way to their Kakaako location, but I always pass by and it's very busy as well. If you're in the area it's worth a visit if you need a place to rest.

The young woman was friendly and said it was a good choice! Most mochas are good, but this one has an intense chocolate flavor that I've never tasted elsewhere. Soooooooo good! She: Have a safe drive home! Oh, I did get this iced which almost made it feel like I was drinking a shake! Mahalo again ChadLou's!

I mispronounced the name of the bakery...but so did the barista, definitely a tongue-twister. I've had them before at the Kailua Farmers Market. It's a bit dry but tasty.

If it seems that I am on a quest to find every available retail spot on Oahu to acquire some ice cream from Sage's...well, you are wise to my endeavor. Ube Crinkle was amazfreezing.

Accidentally stumbled upon this drive thru coffee shop when I initially planned to kill time at…read moreWindward Mall to wait for my lunch order at Adela's. The long line of cars intrigued me...after 11 AM, nonetheless! The wait time wasn't so bad, maybe no more than 10-15 minutes from pulling in to picking up my order. I asked the lady taking my order of their most popular coffee drinks. She mentioned their banana bread latte and a cold brew drink I forgot about, but I ended up ordering an iced vanilla latte... usually my baseline when visiting a new coffee shop. I believe good quality coffee shouldn't haven't to be masked by all sorts of flavors unless the coffee shop wants to highlight any in-house syrups and flavorings. The iced latte wasn't bad...if anything, the espresso was nice and strong! I didn't understand the long line before lunch, unless Holoholo is the best handcrafted coffee on Kaneohe, or that it's conveniently located across from Windward Mall? This is probably one of those coffee snob reviews lol... my husband makes lattes from our espresso machine every day and I'm in the middle of learning how to make lattes myself. Don't get me wrong though... if you're tight on time, but need caffeine and happen to be in Kaneohe, Holoholo hits the spot! Support local!

But seriously, you can end whatever decision making process you have at this moment. They have it all at KP Market (I'm not sure if anyone calls it this, but I do now). Sandwiches, burgers, poke, bowls of various types, coffee, all kinds of bevs. Anything that you could desire to keep you sustained during a day of sun burns and big waves. I can't recall the names of the bowls that we got, but they were exactly what we were looking for. Incredibly generous portions at reasonable prices, and the highest quality of ingredients. I'm pretty sure they gave me an entire fish, and I ate the whole thing. The garlic shrimp that fantastic, and smothered in that buttery-garlic goodness. The star of the show were the accompaniments that brought the whole bowls together. The ube was flavorful and added a great texture. The kimchi was a nice add too, giving these dishes a bite to balance things out. And the sauces were nice, but not overpowering. I'm pretty sure there are a few KP markets around, and you should stop here before whatever adventure awaits for you in Hawaii. I even bought a shirt because this place was so dope.

Compliments to our waiter, Stacen. He was extremely friendly and helpful. My parents recommend the poke nachos. My mom really liked the fish tacos. "They were excellent", she said. My dad loved the caesar salad. "The hardboiled egg and delicately sliced avocado was a nice touch", my dad said. My sister loved the buttered pasta with Parmesan cheese. She said they put the perfect amount of cheese. I got the pasta with red sauce. It was delicious. I loved it. The red sauce was really good. Lastly, my sister and I got dessert. It was hard to choose which one we wanted, but finally, we decided to try the s'more brownie a la mode. It was amazing. My mom said that it was the best s'more brownie that she ever had. I agree, it was really good. By: a satisfied customer!
