    Affordable for waikiki and 16 oz
    Andrea M.

    Mini monster cafe is located in the Royal Hawaiian food court. I had this place saved for a while and in my quest to find my favorite matcha I wanted to give it a try. I got the 16 oz lavender matcha, it was just the right amount of sweetness for me (a lot of matchas are too bitter for me) and the lavender was subtle and not overpowering. I also thought $6.50 is a very good price for 16 oz in Waikiki. My daughter got the taro milk tea with boba and it was very good, not too milky maybe too sweet for some but exactly the level I like. They weren't busy when I arrived but it did take about 2 minutes for someone to come and take my order, it's because the person making the drinks was also taking orders. Service was straightforward. Ambiance is a food court, I recommend going to get a dessert at kulu kulu to go with your drink. They are famous for their Thai tea and I want to come back to try that.

    Jasmine Milk Tea w/ Boba
    Generous Y.

    Solid boba spot in a prime location. Just towards the left of the food court after taking the escalators to the second floor. They also have cute glass cups for $6 extra which isn't too bad given the tourist location. Pretty average cost for boba shop bottles. Jasmine Milk Tea w/ Boba - they lessen the sweetness by adding cold brew apparently which is interesting. boba had a decent chew but could use better marination for flavor. Jasmine tea was present through a calm, floral taste.

    This food court gem is great! I got the sunset strawberry lemonade and it was fantastic! I like my teas and lemonades and this place did not disappoint. It wasn't too busy but I can't say much because it's located in Waikiki and in a food court which is just a recipe for craziness! However overall the service was quick and fantastic,. If you're in the food court craving a quick drink you should stop by here!

    We ordered the lilikoi tea in a jar and it was delicious, definitely refreshing, staff was friendly and welcoming.

    Coconut matcha is one of my favorite drinks. Coconut water with a light matcha foam on top. Mini whips up the foam fresh and I requested no sugar, which they complied. This is absolutely delicious and thirst quenching. Their whole menu looks inventive and I would love to try some other drinks. Great service. It's located in the food court. Casual Please come and create your own experience.

    Sunrise Lilikoi Tea
    Angel H.

    Some Yelpers posted about this cute bear jar and I just had to get one. Mini Monster Cafe is at the food court at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. They have locations in California and Vietnam. They sell coffees, teas, milk teas, fruit drinks and matcha drinks. The hubby and I decided to share a drink because I wanted to get the bear jar and it's huge. We decided on the Sunrise Lilikoi Tea with lychee jelly. It was so good and refreshing. We got it at 100% sweetness and it was perfect for me. It was a little sweet at first, but when the ice melted it got diluted. The cashier asked if we wanted lilikoi seeds in the drink, but we declined. The drink was $5.95 plus $0.85 for the lychee jelly. The bear jar was another $6. The total was $12.80 before tax. You can bring the bear jar back and pay the price of the 24oz. drink. We will be back to try the other drinks. The Thai Tea is next on my list.

    Taro smoothie and Mac nut latte
    Aimy N.

    Super sweet hardworking bobarista! Mac nut latte is a lil sweeter. I do like the macadamia cream. The taro smoothie is not too sweet. Light and good! Their pins, charms and stickers are cute!

    Mac Nut Latte
    Hesperian C.

    Located in the food court of the Royal Hawaiian Center. This place quenched my need for a caffeine fix. Service was quick and helpful. Not sure what to get, I ordered the Mac nut latte at their suggestion. It is currently an exclusively unique drink at their Hawaii location. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    taro slush with boba
    Angela H.

    Cute boba shop located in the food court of Royal Hawaiian Center. The food court itself is pretty clean, just usually quite busy given large amounts of tourists, but plenty of seating is available. I got the taro slush with boba at 25% sweetness in the glass jar, and it came out promptly! Service was ok, it was pretty fast! I thought the drink itself was good overall, I liked the taro flavor but it was too sweet for me despite the sugar adjustment. The boba also was a little off for my taste (unsure how to describe it) but overall it was still chewy and sweet. I thought the glass jar was super cute as well. Prices are a bit steep, but that's to be expected since it's in Waikiki. I'd def be interested in coming back to try their matcha drinks and other items on the menu!

    I was craving boba while vacationing in Waikiki and found Mini Monster Cafe. I took off one star because you were not able to adjust the sugar or sweetness level in their drinks. Everything is premade. I ended up ordering the honey milk tea with boba. It was very tasty but a little too sweet for my liking but the boba was nice and chewy. All in all it did satisfy my boba craving.

    I'm visiting and I've been to the location in LA before. I saw they had a location here and wanted to try because it's been a while. I came into the food court and saw they had lavender matcha. The matcha was very good and the lavender wasn't too overpowering. They also had super cute stickers and pins at the front which I really liked! The service was really great and she was very quick with my drink!

    Sunset Strawberry Lemonade
    Morgan S.

    Sunset Strawberry Lemonade When I saw this place on Insta, I knew I had to make time to check it out. Easy parking, no line & open seating in the food court were already setting the scene for a good morning. When we arrived, Rena is the kind soul that took our order. We had the sunset strawberry lemonade and the matcha coconut cloud with cotton candy clouds. They're fun and more importantly, they're delicious! We will be back!

    I paid $18 for the papaya açaí boat and was very disappointed. The papaya was tiny, unripe, and not worth the price. It felt like a rip-off.

I highly recommend stopping in and grabbing their coconut peanut butter or macadamia nut peanut butter. They also have several other variations, including chocolate. They also offer local honey. Their peanut butter is highly sought after back in the states. So if you're here grab a combo and give it a try, you just might find yourself ordering some online once you've given it a try.

This might be one of the only places in Waikiki open at 4 AM which is perfect if you've just arrived the night before from the East Coast. The inside of the shop feels homey. They have a display case full of pastries along with additional baked goods set out nearby. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a coconut latte and then ordered a blueberry malasada while my father went with a custard-filled one. At Maleko, the malasadas are pre-made but not filled until you order which I think is a smart move. I first tried my blueberry malasada and thought it was good. The dough was light and fluffy and the filling had a great flavor. As for my coffee, I have to agree with other reviews that the syrup made it overly sweet. I still drank it, but I definitely would have preferred something less sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again for the malasadas. As for the coffee, I would probably pass unless you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side.

    I'm here a lot for work for the past few years but have been coming to the islands for many years…read more I've been a true loyalist to Island Vintage for at least 11yrs at this location. Over the years I've noticed the staff has become so much nicer and welcoming which is what I think of when I think of the Aloha spirit. Today I encountered a simple smile from the barista when I asked for extra half and half. She was very kind and sweet and sometimes that's all it takes. Keep in mind they are extremely busy with a line outside so to still offer good customer service in the middle of all that is gold. I always put my order in through the toast app and pick up to go. By the time my drink is ready my açaí bowl is melted. Today I decided to bring it up to the staff and encountered my lovely Lucille. She took my açaí bowl and put it in her freezer and gave me direction to put a note on my order to not prep the açaí bowl till I get there. That was very helpful! I'm happy not to have açaí soup anymore! Haha! But the best thing about it, she did it with a smile and it was genuine. You know when you just feel someone has a good soul..yeah, I felt that. Her demeanor was no different than how a family member would treat you. When she handed my açaí bowl back, she placed a napkin underneath it so the warmth of my hand wouldn't melt the bowl further...and the cherry on top was that I literally had the absolute BEST açaí bowl I've ever had made by Lucille. No joke! Sometimes there is too much granola, or too little fruit, but she made it with the perfect balance with each ingredient. She spoiled me and now I always want my açaí bowls to be made by Lucille! Lmao. I've been going through some tough times and I hope she knows (along with the taller young barista who offered me the half and half) that they both made my day a little brighter. See you in a couple days when I'm back! lol I swear I spend all my money every month at Island Vintage! The best of the best! I wish I took a photo of her beautiful creation but I got it down way too quick! :( Order the açaí bowl with Haupia cream and the Mona Kea iced coffee with macadamia nut, salted caramel and lava salt. You won't regret it! And you won't have to wait in line if you order from the toast local app if getting it to go! You're welcome:)
