Honeydew Double Matcha Smoothie
Rachael K.

I'm so excited that Maruwu Seicha is in a location outside of Waikiki! Perfect spot for college students on-campus to catch up and do work. I recently enjoyed a seasonal offering, the honeydew double matcha smoothie. Delicious and refreshing on a hot, humid day. You can opt for non dairy milk and add toppings. Unfortunately, you cannot adjust the sweetness but the sweetness level is actually perfect where it is! Customer service is always on point. Staff are efficient and friendly. The store is clean and very spacious. Restroom for paying customers. Indoor and outdoor seating. Be sure to sign up for their rewards program!

Black sesame hojicha
Sydni K.

I've been wanting to try Maruwu Seicha, and I'm glad I didn't have to go into Waikiki to give it a try. Parking was a little crowded in the garage, but I was able to get a stall after waiting around a bit. The inside of the store is nicely decorated and furnished and makes you feel like you're in Japan. There's ample seating both inside and outdoors. Their menu is pretty extensive with drinks, ice cream, and pastries. I love black sesame, so whenever it's on the menu, that's often what I get. I got their black sesame hojicha, but this did not live up to my expectations. It just tasted off, and I couldn't even finish my whole drink. I would love to give this place another try and just stick to their regular hojicha.

Option for drinks, tarts, and ice cream. Very matcha heavy spot, so if you're looking for something sweet ask for full sugar, otherwise their default is half for the matcha flavor to standout. Really nice space with indoor and outdoor seating. Perfect to hangout, work, etc. Parking is available on the side street, lots of stalls available!

I love to support my neighborhood business. There were lots of tables and chairs with cool decor. Service was fast as they have many employees. On my 1st visit, my order was matcha and coffee. It was strong so had saved some for next day. On my 2nd visit, my order was velvet soy matcha with full sugar. It wasn't too sweet and saved some for next day. I definitely need to come back to try the whole menu.

The ambience is really nice and the location is super convenient. Parking is a little tight, but if you go on Sundays, you can try for street parking. I've gotten the black sesame hojicha and the green tea sundae. I'll be honest..I didn't really care for the black sesame in the hojicha. My friend really enjoyed the regular hojicha, so I'd probably skip the black sesame version next time and try that instead. The sundae had really nice textures and flavors. I do think I prefer Nana's Green Tea parfait, but this was still good. Overall, not a bad spot and I'd come back to try some of their other items!

Matcha latte with snow cap
Hailley O.

We love Maruwu Seicha in Waikiki, so we were excited to hear they opened another location in Moiliʻili! We came probably around the first or second week after it opened, so the line was pretty long on a Sunday afternoon. I do like how spacious this location is with plenty of seating available, especially since the Waikiki location doesn't offer that. I ordered a regular matcha latte with a snow top, while my boyfriend got the matcha gelato parfait. My matcha latte was just ok. I felt like the matcha flavor wasn't quite strong enough, and I thought it tasted better at the Waikiki location. The snow top may have made it a little more milky than usual, which could've made the matcha taste more subtle. It wasn't bad, just not as strong as I would like it to be. My boyfriend really enjoyed his matcha gelato, though! I think I still prefer the Waikiki location since it's less crowded and you don't have to wait as long. That said, this location is still fairly new, so they may just need some time to get everything running more smoothly and make the drinks more consistent.

Maruwu Seicha is such a cute matcha spot with a super aesthetic interior! They have a great variety on the menu, and the matcha was perfectly strong, creamy, and flavorful. The staff was also really efficient with taking and making orders, so even though it was busy, everything moved pretty quickly. The space was very clean and spacious too, making it such a nice place to grab a matcha and hang out!

Wow! When I walked in the first thing I noticed was the decor. The shop was so nicely furnished. I love the modern look with wood tables. We got the Hokkaido Cheese Tart $4.50, Soy Milk Pudding Matcha Parfait $8.90 and an Iced Matcha Latte Okinawa Boba large $9.50 with oat milk + $1.00. The matcha parfait was delicious. I loved the soy milk pudding with matcha gelato and matcha kinako warabi mochi. The mochi was so soft and tasty. The cheese tart was also very good. It had a soft cream cheese center. I wasn't feeling the matcha latte. For some reason they made it half sweet. I couldn't taste the sweetness at all. The next time I'll be sure to ask for it to be 100% sweet. The matcha was smooth and I could tell that it was high quality matcha. The color of the matcha was a vibrant emerald green and there was no bitterness. I highly recommend the Soy Milk Pudding Matcha Parfait.

07/19/2026 and 07/23/26. This review is for my second and third visit here at Maruwu Seicha Moili'ili. A perfect place to relax and have a fantastic matcha customized drink here. On 07/19/26 I tried the Strawberry Matcha Latte, half sweet, with almond milk and Matcha soft serve of Pistachio gelato! 5/5 stars here! Smooth and delicious combination. Please try this combination. On 07/23/26- I selected a Yuzu Matcha Soda with Crystal boba. It's an "Exclusive in Hawaii" drink. 4/5 stars. It's definitely a strong Matcha and Yuzu flavored drink. I could have easily watered it down with more ice. I drank this refreshing beverage slowly to let the ice melt. Service is 4.5 stars here. The trash can was full today 07/23/26 and the unisex bathroom was unclean. I think this place is very busy. Hopefully, a clean up routine will be established soon. Lots of table space indoors and outdoors. Great for students, online workers and everyone who wants a place to chat, chill out or get work done. Free parking in the building.

New favorite cafe alert!! This location opening right by the university was like a blessing from heaven. I was in desperate search of a beautiful cafe with fast wifi. I've been here like nearly everyday for the past few weeks. The tiny complaint I have is they don't have that many outlets. But, the matcha was great. Tried the gelato and personally it wasn't my favorite. I do not recommend the ube matcha latte though, prettty grainy.

Menu

Maruwu Seicha Moili'ili is conveniently located near University, and the second store following the flagship store in Waikiki. This was my first time trying this place, and despite being open for a few months now, it's still so popular that it frequently runs out of items. They also stop making drinks 15 minutes to closing, so we couldn't order anything aside the gelato which ran out of their popular matcha no. 3 flavor. I was somewhat disappointed that even though we came before closing, they weren't accommodating to paying customers and allowed them to have access to their menu choices. I had what little they had left of the matcha no. 3, along with pistachio matcha and the Hokkaido milk. Out of the 3, the no. 3 was the best. I expected more from the Hokkaido milk vanilla, wishing it to be rich and creamy like the real vanilla ice cream from that province, but it was okay at best and left more to be desired. Overall, I was a bit disappointed of the lack of choices and what I ended up trying; I am hoping to go again soon earlier during the day so I can try more of their signature matcha gelato and drinks.

Cheesecake tart
Craig T.

I had to check out this place since Nadine, Irene and Jackie gave this establishment 5 Stars . New trendy spot I guess located next door to Jersey Mikes and Raising Cain. Ground floor of the UH Hale Mahana apartments. I just stopped to try their cheesecake tart and it was well worth it . Very light not too sweet and creamy cheesecake taste. They also sell UBE along with Matcha . Personally I'm not a Matcha guy so I decided to pick up 3 cheesecake tarts to take home . Service was fast and friendly this place should do well since you have all the UH students right above the shop . I guess the trick is to go on a Sunday which metered parking is free . I can imagine since this place has a limited parking situation it will be very hard to find parking M-Sat. Support local

Strawberry matcha
Jaymi U.

Love this place! I ordered the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk and it was so good! You can customize the sweetness level to your liking and the drink had the perfect matcha level. I don't like it when the drink tastes too milky and this had a great matcha taste. The cafe itself is super cute and had a decent amount of seating. It's located in the same building as raising canes and there is customer parking in the parking garage behind the shops.

TLDR: Long lines even at opening, customizable options but consistently good!…read more Can't say I haven't had authentic acai up until this point. For some reason, I totally forgot that good acai could be found in Hawaii!! Hello!! Its not just the fresh fish ya'll I walked here and there was still a line by 7, and even longer one when I went the next day, but it does move quite fast, especially with some of the workers letting people know they have a sit down resturant next door so just food for thought if you want more actual food options! As it stands they have quite an extensive list of juice, coffee, acai. I decided to go with a more basic route but instead subbing my fruit for what was in season which was mango, lilikoi and lychee. You order at the front and they call your number. They have some seating around as well but if you're at the hawaiian center you can just sit downstairs. The fruit alone was out of this world. I was actually so focused on that I wasn't even thinking about if the acai was good which I think it was! It comes out rather creamy, not frozen or icy. The price is a little steeper than what I've had in the past but honestly the fresh fruit alone made it extremely worth it. A regular sized bowl was quite filling! I came back the next day and it was still just as good. I know some people probably prefer different locations than others but I can rep this one for sure. Its in a very touristy place, maybe even the mecca so if you want to avoid that then avoid any location in waikiki

Sunny's Local Grind, Waikiki: A Little Hidden Gem Serving Big Breakfasts and Even Bigger Aloha!…read more BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Fantastic breakfast, generous portions, and some of the friendliest service you'll find in Waikiki! Sunny's Local Grind is a small, unassuming neighborhood eatery serving delicious food with plenty of personality and genuine aloha. Definitely worth a visit! The Details: My wife and I stumbled upon Sunny's Local Grind while staying at the nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village. We'd dropped off some laundry at Ena, a wash-and-fold service down the road, and decided to grab breakfast while waiting for our clothes. Having checked out Sunny's Yelp ratings beforehand, I was pretty confident we'd found a winner. Still, you never quite know until you experience a place for yourself! The restaurant is small and casual, with a cozy dining area decorated with colorful local artwork. Unfortunately, the Hawaiian heat and humidity were in full swing, and it was a little too warm inside for my haole liking. Fortunately, Sunny's has a charming little outdoor dining area tucked into the alley alongside the building, complete with wooden tables, shade sails, and tropical decorations and a refreshing tropical breeze. Perfect! Now, let's talk breakfast! I ordered the Garden Omelette with Portuguese sausage added, accompanied by rice. WOW! This thing was absolutely packed with fresh ingredients, and best of all, it was loaded with glorious, gooey, melted cheddar cheese! One of my pet peeves with restaurant omelettes is when they advertise cheese but deliver barely enough to qualify as a garnish. Not Sunny's! They certainly were not stingy with the cheddar, and I appreciated every delicious bite! My wife ordered the French Toast with haupia coconut sauce, accompanied by eggs and bacon. She thoroughly enjoyed her breakfast, and was sweet enough to share a bite. I can certainly understand why! We need to start making haupia sauce at home...! The Service Deserves Special Mention! The folks working here were absolutely delightful! Warm smiles, vibrant personalities, friendly conversation, and plenty of laughs and witty banter. It's the kind of genuine hospitality that makes a small neighborhood restaurant feel special. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived, and that friendly atmosphere continued throughout our visit. And speaking of personalities, we even encountered an adorable little black-and-white dog perched proudly in the front basket of an electric bicycle outside while its owner stopped to order some food. Naturally, I had to snap a picture! That little character looked like the unofficial neighborhood supervisor, keeping an eye on everything! Final Thoughts: Sunny's Local Grind is located just a block farther down Ena Road from Aloha Kitchen, within easy walking distance of the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It's not fancy, nor does it pretend to be. It's simply a wonderful little local restaurant serving hearty, delicious breakfasts with generous portions and terrific hospitality. Between the outstanding omelette, my wife's delicious French toast, and the genuinely cheerful staff, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Would I return? Absolutely, without hesitation! Sometimes the best meals aren't found in the fanciest restaurants. They're tucked away in little neighborhood spots where the food is made with care and the aloha comes naturally. Sunny's certainly lives up to its name. The food is delicious, and the people brighten your day!

This place has been on my list for a while, and I finally made it in. I arrived around 7:30 AM, and…read moreit was moderately crowded. We waited about 10 minutes to order at the counter, and the food came out within another 10 minutes. I had the Sunny's Loco Moco, Decaf Coffee, and the Caramel Apple Pie. The Loco Moco was okay -- the meat was dry and the gravy felt a bit heavy. The decaf coffee was too weak and acidic for my taste; I usually grind my own Swiss water decaf and make it pour‑over style, and mine is definitely better. However, the Caramel Apple Pie was delicious, and I'd come back just for that. Overall, I wasn't too impressed with this visit. Maybe I should've tried something other than the Loco Moco.

Their other location of Shirokiya Village Walk in Ala Moana closed abruptly during the start of COVID in March 2020 and sadly never reopened. That means the only Kulu Kulu is at Eaton Square conveniently located on the first floor. This Kulu Kulu store opened in 2013 and still going strong. We recently came here to capitalize on their 14th anniversary special with 8 assorted sweets for $27.50 (originally valued at $55) for a limited period of 3 days from 10/23/26 to 10/25/26. I originally was planning on getting a red velvet cake for my sister's birthday but consulted with the fam and decided on this anniversary special plus 4 of their famous Diamond Head Puffs, offered at BOGO deal. We ended getting several of their anniversary specials to give away to others and a box. After our dinner, we asked the staff who kept it chilled from when we arrived at the restaurant and were in awe of the attention and detail and precision. Crowd favorites were the mango mousse cake and Japanese cheesecake. Their Diamond Head puffs don't disappoint. So perfectly shaped with a firm exterior and center generously filled with cream. Some may think the cakes here are pricey but the quality and flavors justify. I personally enjoy the nama chocolate and eye stunning rainbow cake. I'm still glad we get to enjoy Kulu Kulu and even a super plus when they have their anniversary special. Congratulations for celebrating another year and looking forward to my next visit.
