SERVICE: Customer service was stellar. They were very attentive and accommodating. PHYSICAL SPACE: Restaurant was clean and even had fly fans on each table. Staff is attentive to wiping tables down. HEADS UP: It is very popular, so there was a long line and parking is a sport, but it was worth it!!

We will not be back for the coffee. This was comparable to starbucks and I would rather go to starbucks (and I don't like starbucks). Parking was difficult. Ambiance is great as it is in Four Seasons.

It's a good café with a great view. I think the price is justified for the scenery, though it's…read moredefinitely more expensive than Starbucks. I do have a nut allergy, and sometimes the staff doesn't write the milk choice on the cup, which makes me a bit uneasy. That said, I'll be more verbal about it next time to make sure it's clear. One thing I didn't love was that the ice was stored in what looked like a typical camping cooler. I'm a little skeptical about how well those get cleaned, although it's possible their ice machine was just down that day. Overall, the view is amazing, the coffee is fine, and the food is quite pricey. There are a few menu items I'd splurge on, but with an ABC Store close by offering very similar options, I'd probably be selective about what I order.

I loved going to this market in Ko Olina! It's convenient for the days you just want to stay within…read morethe general vicinity. It's an ABC store with a made to order kitchen, so you could order hot food as well. They have monthly specials, coffee and other drink options (milk tea, smoothies, etc) - and all the cute souvenirs you could imagine! If you don't see musubi's out, just ask. They may have some in the back. They also have katsu musubi's ($5). We ordered a few things here and everything was pretty good! Even the loco moco was better than the one at our resort... If you order from the smoothie counter (where they have smoothies, açaí bowls, milk tea, pastries and gelato) - get a punch card. There's $5 off once you get 10 punches. Also, you have to pay for parking. Don't try to pass this up. We've seen the tow truck a few times here, doing their job! Overall, it's a great option away from resort prices!

I ordered a beef stew this time with double rice and in their coffee and smoothie area they had mango sticky rice which I have been wanting to try for a while. It was actually really good! It's like having a drink and snack at the same time. Their ube malasada is very good. You can get 2 for $5. I love this market so much and there are plenty of other places to enjoy in the area. I told myself that I would only spend 30 minutes here, but I ended up extending my parking four times. No regrets and no parking ticket.

The staff is always friendly and fast! The standouts are the managers -- they have the gold name tags. It's located conveniently in the same building as Foodland with direct entrances to both shops, it's always tidy and their merch makes for really cute gifts! The employees are knowledgeable and we enjoy watching them make our drinks. Once in a blue moon, I want to try something new and ask them to suggest a drink 9 times out of 10 it'll be delicious! It's always a quick stop and we're only there for about 5min. My family and I look forward to our weekly treats while shopping. PRO TIP: Make sure you start a stamp card to use for free drinks. They unfortunately do not honor the app or any specials on there so follow on Instagram for info.

The wrap with cream cheese, bacon and fresh veggies was perfect and light. The smoothie with fresh coconut cream walls was perfect after a run on the beach. Overall, you're paying vacation prices, but the food choices are healthy for a lighter lunch or breakfast. Parking is limited to a small lot with many popular shops/businesses.

The granola is also pretty good. There is a faint fridge smell while I'm eating, but I try to overlook it because the sorbet itself is worth it. Their açaí bowl is solid too. That said, the menu is definitely overpriced, and both taste and service can be a hit or miss depending on the day. One more note: I tried the matcha with coconut milk, and it was a total miss. No matcha flavor at all and just not good.

Great price for good quality coffee. The bakery section looked amazing with tons of options, but we didn't get to try any this time.

Highlights: - Customizable drink sweetness - Good value and quality - Lots of baked goods to choose from - Easy parking and convenient spot Looking forward to trying more next time!

I miss coming to this spot with family to get plate lunches when we lived down in waianae, but since we haven't been to this location in a while we finally made the attempt yesterday from Kapolei to come down to Maili. I'm happy we did because the pastele plates we got was 1/1 mild and spicy with Mac salad and 2 scoop rice. The meat was tender and savory giving you the correct amount of flavor with seasoning and balance. You can tell they put the heart into making these. Although there are many variations to Pasteles this one is my favorite. The Mac salad is good also better than other places I've tried. The opihi I also brought and added my own sauce to it with and enjoyed it with their Hawaiian Style (Inamona) poke on the side. My only recommendation is the panadeja was more of a pulled pork look and of course that's what it is but I was looking for more of a stew consistency of which it was not. Now don't get me wrong the flavor wasn't lacking and was juicy but it was just shredded pork inside and you can see couple of black olives that's it. I will still purchase them but a slight upgrade would be nice to those, just my opinion.
