Always always a treat when getting coffee from Local Joe. The service never disappoints, the coffee is bomb and strong, and I absolutely love the gyros!!! My usual order is the Audrey Hepburn, so so good!! The coffee shop can get really busy but the workers manage to still deliver the best drinks and food. Their pastries are delicious too, I've tried the banana bread and wow, so soft and the moisture, so yummy!! Love that they offer merch, support local, and have a good amount of outdoor seating!

Stopped in for coffee before a showing at Uluwehi. Got the caramel macchiato on ice. It taste good, but be warned. It's on the sweeter side. I love the vibe in this tiny little coffee shop and they have outdoor seating great place for little meetings or a little dates too.

Adorable little coffee shop with a few food items. Delicious coffee!! Highly recommend stopping in and trying for yourself.

Grateful to have a local coffee shop right in Ho'opili! This time around my wife and I went and a jog around our neighborhood and last minute decided to stop by Local Joe's for a quick bite to eat. Fortunately, we stopped by Local Joe's to have their burrito and a latte. The staff was kind and friendly, as always. Of course, I recognize faces in the area while there. After getting our food and drinks, we sat down and enjoyed our time together. We had our daughter and goldendoodle with us, but it didn't seem to be a bother to anyone. Local Joe's has a great ambiance to enjoy your coffee. Thank you, Local Joe's. Let's support local!

Not so local but still local Joe. Thanks for expanding to Ewa! Well what's in Ewa? You're definitely adding to that conversation. Was looking for a late morning caffeine pick me up and I have been lifted up in so many ways. High ceilings, local art lining them and great service. Thanks Ola! Looking forward to being greeted by more of your gems and pieces in the future. Gotta peep this local treat whenever you're in the area. They have an OG location in downtown where they roast our coffee fresh, the not-so-secret secret to great coffee.

This is a super cute coffee cafe, that have a bunch of fun flavor combinations and are reasonably priced. I got the French toast ice latte with cold foam. The best part of the drink was they offer fun pics to put on the foam. You scan the WR code, pick any pic from your phone. You will get a number. Before picking up your drink let the barista know the number and it goes in a cool machine and you end up with such a cute detail! I only gave 4 stars as I felt the coffee was a little biter. I also wish they had a low fat milk options as I cannot drink milk substitutes.

Chai latte and playground - perfect combo
Varvara L.

Local Joe is such a cozy little coffee spot tucked away in a residential area of Hopili. It's not a huge chain like Starbucks and because of that it feels much more personal and welcoming. The space is small but clean and has very comfortable vibe. I usually stop by for a drink (sometimes with a salmon bagel) and then take it over to the nearby playground where my kid can play. They have a latte art printer what could print any picture on your latte. They once did it for me for free, and it was such a cool surprise. The staff is friendly and helpful. I asked about the pumpkin latte and they were honest enough to say it was on the sweeter side, so I skipped it. I ended up with a chai latte instead, and appreciated that they offered the option to make it less sweet. They also have milk alternatives if you need them. There are a few tables inside if you want to sit down, plus a couple outside. The outside ones are cozy, but since they're right by the road, it's not the best option if you have a little one running around. There is no official parking and technically there are "no parking" signs nearby, but everyone just stops quickly to grab their coffee. Overall, a friendly local spot with good drinks, thoughtful staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Iced white chocolate mocha with oat milk.  Delish!
Denise N.

The best coffee I have tried on the island... white chocolate mocha with oat milk. The flavor is delish and not bitter. I add an extra shot because I like my coffee strong! Service was great and quick. Seems like a local shop, but small with some outside seating (approx. six tables). I try to support local coffee shops always! Cheers!

The free wifi gives it 5 stars. I looked on Yelp and it said the popular drink was the Toast latte? I didn't care for it unfortunately - it just tasted like a burnt coffee.... But I sampled another drink (White Chocolate Mocha) and this was really good! Since this is definitely farther from where I usually traverse too I also sampled the Strawberry Matcha Latte and that was delicious as well. I would definitely come back, the seating area outdoors was very relaxing. This was a very nice place to relax and chill. I am a fan. If I'm ever in the area again I'll make it a point to stop by again. Service was fast and kind, and it seemed to get pretty packed with lots of people lining up. This is the place to go for drinks in Ewa!

It's time for a review update! ***If you order hot food, expect a wait, or best to order ahead online!*** Local Joe West's kitchen is small as it shares spaces with their espresso machine and drink ingredients. There tends to be a bottleneck if customers order food at the same time. Keep that in mind if you're in a hurry. Even a simple slice of banana or mango bread may require a wait as they require oven time too. The slices are made so you have to heat them in the oven. Drinks alone come out in a reasonable amount of time. Even with the wait times, I still enjoy grabbing coffee or a light breakfast from here. Their iced vanilla lattes still have that simple goodness I've enjoyed at their flagship Chinatown location. Many of the drinks are reasonably priced. Don't sleep on their monthly special of coffee, matcha, non-caffeinated drinks, and food items! What really compelled me to update my Yelp review was the amazing customer service my husband and I received last week. We ordered one of their July specials, their Palms Meets Pines. I posted the drink on my Instagram and tagged Local Joe's. About a couple hours later and after we left the shop, the owners saw that the drink seemed to be missed espresso, so they refunded us! The owners didn't have to do that, knowing that small businesses aren't easy or inexpensive to run, but they did! I really enjoyed the other July special we ordered, the Island Gold. You can try to order past special drinks, but they may require extra time and additional fees. Support your local Ho'opili coffee shop and coffee roaster!

Free street parking on the side. This place is tiny but powerful. Super cute cafe in the trendy Ho'opili community in Kapolei. Great breakfast items such as a croissant or lox of bagels. Great service by some pretty nice staff! If you're in the area- check them out!

Blended white chocolate mocha drink (medium)
Alyssa G.

I'd describe Local Joe as a cute yet kind of a hidden cafe on the west side of the island. For reference on how hidden it was, my friends and I who live in Ewa Beach didn't hear about this place until earlier this year! It's now slowly becoming my weekly breakfast/lunch spot, especially when I need a kick of caffeine to keep me awake during the weekday. I work within walking distance so it's awesome that this place is close by! Out of all the iced espresso drinks I've tried, I like the white chocolate mocha drink the best. I tried it both iced and blended, and I think I prefer it blended because maybe it reminds me of a frappuccino from Starbucks. Price wise, it's similar to other cafes and that includes Starbucks itself. Instead of hitting up Starbucks, just support local! They even have an order ahead system on their website that's very convenient to use. As a side note, know that parking is not just limited to what's in front of the cafe. Drive past the cafe and take an immediate right to see parking stalls that are specifically for Local Joe customers!

Mango bread
Veronica P.

Friendly staff, cute ambiance, and loved that there was extra seating outside. I wasn't a fan of the mango bread, but the croissant and my decaf coffee were delicious! It's a cute and quaint spot if you're looking to either grab and go, or sit for a few minutes to relax!

What's the parking situation like?

Thanks for asking. We have a few assigned stalls directly in front of The Element's leasing office maybe 100' away from our shop. Many customers have parked directly in front of the shop without issue for short periods. Then there's street parking… Read more

But I took my kids to another coffee truck (A Little A Latte) and like it goes with kids, they made me late. So I got here right at 10. But it's ok bc Cai.CafeX3 was just getting here. So I was a tad annoyed. But then I actually looked at the sign and it said 11am. They opened the doors right on time at 11 and took the first two customers in. I waited not even 5 more min before they let me in. Initially they were still making drinks for Jolene's staff which I think is awesome to bless their staff with a drink but it really delayed the drinks for the rest of us. They were very nice tho and kept apologizing. Wasn't a huge problem bc at the beginning of events like this you need to hit your groove. I was out of there by 11:22. The girls in front of me ordered a total of 4 drinks, and I ordered 3 drinks.... So I guess over all with all the staff drinks they had to make, and the fact that it was only one drink maker... they were still pretty quick. The line was wrapping around Jolene's so I think they will do well. I ordered the Vanilla Salted Caramel, the Strawberry Matcha Spritzer, and the Hojicha. They were only offering oat milk today, I think to manage the line, but if you go to their IG they normally offer other milks. I will need to try them again when I can choose bc I do not really like oat milk. But I do like how you can customize your sweetness level. All our drinks were good. My daughter pilfered the spritzer. Of the three the salted vanilla was the best. Their straws were cute pink heart straws that didn't photograph well in its wrapping. But my daughter says she's gonna use one on Wednesday bc it's pink lol. And we got a cute sticker too!

I love me a good Matcha and a good coffee and I'm so glad I found this coffee truck!!…read more I got the busy woman and let me tell you that was really good I also tried the island latte and while the coconut and caramel was fire like it's not a specialty drink, but that might be my favorite one Also tried the cookie butter, Matcha, and wow that was so good. My friend isn't a matcha fan and when he drank it, he enjoyed it Thankfully, my kids have football on Sundays at Kapolei regional park so hopefully they're there Sunday mornings cause I'm gonna be going every morning on Sundays. They also do stamp cards so get your stamps!

Falling behind…read more.. Yes though this wasn't my first visit to this lovely spot but I guess you can say that one sip and I'm in heaven...love to visit them on Sundays at Kapolei Regional right across James Campbell Building. What I love is that they always freshen up the seasonal menu with various sips and this visit was in fall and it was the Pumpkin Patch-A which is a Matcha Latte topped with pumpkin cold foam....yum! There's always a line and they make each and every one so there will be a slight wait but is so worth it and yes I'd travel down here just for a sip. There's friendlies staff with the cutest trailer...spy on them on Instagram to see what the latest brew is and hele on down for A Little A Latte. Thank you!
