    Matcha with Kinako Mochi
    Lauren M.

    I love visiting here when I'm in Waikiki. It's not the most convenient for me since I need to find parking, then walk here, but recently I've been having lunch/dinner at Stix Asia and then having this for dessert. I discovered that you can park in the structure, and I think it's free parking for the first 2 (?) hours with validation. The service is quick even though the line can be long sometimes. There are places to sit inside or right outside. I usually get the same thing - Matcha soft serve with the kinako mochi. So delicious.

    We got the Matcha Shiratama Parfait. The server was awesome. She didn't even have to ask our id for kama'ainna discount since we were in Waikiki area. We start from the top of the cup with green tea ice cream, mochi balls, and cereal then work way to the bottom of the cup which had the green tea jelly. The green tea JELLY is so good which made the whole cup is so good. Hard to find parking.

    Literally my favorite green tea place follows me when I travel. Stumbled upon this on Yelp when looking for restaurants in Honolulu and practically cried when I saw this was there. We came 2 days in a row. I first ordered the matcha parfait which is a must. Such good flavors and textures, highly recommend. I also ordered the brown sugar matcha latte which was so delicious and a great not-too-sweet drink. I did also try the matcha soda on a whim because I was feeling brave....don't think I'll ever order that again. Not your typical drink lol Everything else though is a must try for sure. So happy I found this place in the Stix Food Court!

    Stumbled upon this ice cream place after our ramen dinner. It's located in the royal Hawaiian center in the basement of the stix Asia. Huge selection of match ice cream or sundaes. The girls behind the counter were super helpful and swwet. It's super busy, and they have a lot of visitors throughout.

    Matcha with warabimochi yummy sweet treat to share. Lots of seating and quick service, optional with the waffle or cup.

    Best parfait we've had in the states. It's rare to find a parfait place so we were delighted to find Nana's in Oahu. Service was quick. Ordered the hojicha warabimochi which was a delight to eat.

    Heavenly soft serve at Nana's Green Tea! Get mouthwatering softserve matcha at Nana's! Here's a great reason to venture into Waikiki and STIX ASIA in the Waikiki Shopping Center. Love love love the hojicha but had to try the sweet potato flavor on this particular trip. Strawberry and matcha are delish also. There's not a flavor I've tried and didn't like lol. Service is always prompt and very pleasant. Seating is available on nearby tables. Have yet to try the drinks but perhaps will on a future trip.

    Hojicha shiratama parfait

    Was craving some hojicha soft serve so I ended up here after a day out in waikiki. The parfait looked super good and luckily I was with my wife so we could split it. The size of this dessert is way more than I could finish on my own. We decided to go for the shiratama parfait vs the warabimochi. Both are mochis, but the shiratama is plain and the warabimochi is dusted and flavored. We figured that the parfait already had a lot going on and didnt need the extra flavor. In hindsight I would say that the additional flavor wouldnt have hurt. The parfait itself is really good especially the hojicha icream part. I wish it came ina different container that made it easier to mix. It was hard to and so we had to eat the ingredients fairly seperate. I think it would have been nice to especially break up the chunk of vanilla soft serve in the middle. Overall tho, it was delicious and really hit the spot!

    THE BEST. Can't wait for them to open a location in Pasadena Feb 2026! During our vacation in Oahu, we went to Nana's three times. It was THAT good! The matcha and hojicha parfaits were our go-tos. My favorite was the hojicha parfait w/ waribashi mochi! It's located in the Stix food court in Waikiki.

    Hojicha soft serve

    I love nana's hojicha soft serve! I'm a frequent matcha consumer since I don't drink coffee anymore and hojicha is a nice alternative. The soft serve is super refreshing and the perfect sweet treat. Always find myself coming here especially if I'm having a meal in the STIX food hall. Cone or cup is the same price here which is nice as well since a lot of places will charge extra for a waffle cone.

    Even though I ate plenty of awesome and delicious things the last time I visited Honolulu, there were a few places in particular that managed to leave a lasting impression on me. Chief among then were a couple of well known gems, Side Street Inn and Tonkatsu Tamafuji, Nana's Green Tea wasn't all that far behind! Somewhat surprising, given how it's a mini-chain of sorts, but who cares when the food tastes this good! Since I only tried a spoonful of Nana's Green Tea's matcha the last time I was here, I never bothered to write a review. However, that spoonful was more than enough to make coming back an absolute must during this trip. Located at the center of the Stix Asia food hall, everything about this place looked the same as I remember. Most importantly, the menu still had the same intriguing collection of matcha, hojicha, and azuki varieties of their lattes, soft serve, and parfaits, as well as a few seasonal items. However, as appealing as all of them sounded, I knew before we even arrived which matcha treat I was going to get! -- MATCHA WARABIMOCHI PARFAIT - Matcha Pudding, Matcha Ice Cream, Vanilla Soft Serve, Red Bean Paste, Warabimochi (Jelly Mochi), Corn Flakes Cereal, and Whipped Cream...$12.50 This was even better than I remember! The pudding and the ice cream each had a lot of matcha to it that was both well complemented and tempered by the serve and the red bean paste. Also, the warabimochi had a nice chew while the cereal added a nice crunch. DELICIOUS! -- YUZU & BLACK TEA PARFAIT - Yuzu Juice, Lemon Sorbet, Vanilla Soft Serve, Black Tea Jelly, Shiratama (Mochi Dumplings), Corn Flakes Cereal, and Whipped Cream...$14 The Matcha Warabimochi was better, but this was still pretty solid in its own right. On the plus side, I loved the Shiratama (so chewy!), the black tea jelly, and the taste of the yuzu juice. However, between the juice and the ice cream, all that citrusy tartness got to be a bit much. In addition to how both parfaits just tasted so good, the other thing that impressed me about them was how neither was overly. To be clear, that's not to say that they aren't sweet; it's just that they weren't as sugary as one might expect them to be at first sight. If it's still a potential concern, though, getting this without whipped cream would be an easy modification, as it didn't really add anything for me. Even with summer passing and the weather cooling ever so slightly, Nana's Green Tea is still the perfect choice if you're looking for a cold, sweet treat. It's great to know they have other locations sprinkled in other parts of the country, as well as Canada and abroad, but, sadly, none are anywhere close to me. I guess that just means I'll have to keep coming back to Hawaii for more. Oh darn...

    @fortunefoodfinds: "You're my PARFAIT MATCH(A)! A Matcha Shiratama Parfait from nana's green tea located at Stix Asia in the Waikiki Shopping Plaza. Every time I order this, it just hits the spot. Everything goes so well together, I want this more often than not!" Staff: friendly Interior: some table seating across, sell gelato next to them Exterior: located at Stix Asia in the center entrance Wait time: 5-10 mins Parking: Waikiki Shopping Plaza garage Overall comments: if I'm not having their soft serve in a cone, I for sure get their parfait. You get the strong matcha in the ice cream, syrup, n' most def in the jello. Then it's paired with the creamy vanilla soft serve n' light whipped cream. Combined is a balance of bold n' sweet flavors. On top of that you get a variety of textures. Soft n' chewy from the mochi. Crunch from the cereal flakes. Paste consistency from the azuki. The layers of each item come together perfectly n' is so very yuMmmy!

    Matcha Cafe Maiko has always been my go to for matcha soft serve on the island, but this time around I wanted to give Nana's Green Tea a chance. I've only had their matcha latte in the past and it didn't wow me since I was unaware it would come unsweetened. I 100% enjoyed the matcha soft serve. You can get it in a cup or cone. The shiratama were chewy and bouncy. The addition of the azuki was a nice touch that complimented the matcha. If you're a local, they offer Kama'aina discount by showing your Hawaii id. Service was quick with ordering and preparing your order. They have a handful of tables where you can sit to enjoy your treat. Located inside Stix Asia food court in the back.

    Well, this may not be a fancy pastry shop, they have a solid assortment of pastries, and their…read moreMalasadas are some of the best I've ever had. 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.
