    tldr; - Shave ice is better than Matsumoto's - Starbucks Coffee that's just as good as Starbucks Rec7 Cafe is my not so secret secret spot for shave ice. It's very unassuming at first glance, but really is worth a visit. Their shaved ice is always on point and tastes especially good with ice cream. (Imo it's better than Matsumoto's) Also, I was impressed that they make Starbucks drinks that legit taste like Starbucks. Their drink menu also has a lot of other options if you don't drink coffee. They also sell Sage Creamery ice cream pints and have small snacks and instant ramen if you're craving some after going to the pool. If you don't want to drive and eat, there is a lot of covered open outdoor seating. Rec7 Cafe is such a gem in the neighborhood.

    Matsumoto large 2 flavor

    No Mililani HOA card to use cafe. Shave ice is not very fine shaving in quality,. Limited flavor selection 8 unusual flavors as compared to other shave ice vendors (mountain shave ice in Waikele behind Safeway) cash only , or other places in Haleiwa (Matsumoto , always busy but line moves fast , large is very large for the $ plenty of flavors and Aoki''s also I heard is good.) Overall just: mediocre , 1.5 stars. Rec center 7 charges for a cup of ice water! If you ask for extra syrup you end up with a 1/2 cup of syrup and they won't give you any more shaved ice . Better to order regular sized or large and then they will add more syrup for free. If you hit under flavored iice. Cheap small wooden spoons. Prep time varies from 5-10 minutes . Outside seating. CC accepted, reward program , buy 8 get one free. Prepared ice cream available. Ice machine good value for $. Also hi price Starbucks cafe. Avg. quality, for all top coffees ( up to $6+)/3 If I get a cravings I go for the drive. Waikele/Haleiwa. Matsumoto large 2 flavor..:

    My go to for shave ice on a hot day. Heck, I go even if it's not hot so who am I kidding. I love getting the lihing mui and lilikoi flavors. The ice is very fine and not chunky, just how I like it. You can add mochi balls, ice cream, etc. They also sell Starbucks coffee and other treats so check this place out if you're in Mililani.

    Rec 7 Cafe serves Starbucks beverages at slightly cheaper prices

    When Mililani Town Association first announced that they were opening a cafe serving Starbucks in Mililani Rec 7 I thought they were crazy! Seriously, how many Starbucks does Mililani need? Well...apparently 4 as I'm now here at least 3 times a week. The cafe is more like a small coffee stand serving Starbucks beverages and locally made beverages. But if you're a MTA card holder, you can enjoy your coffee inside the free Internet cafe, by the pool, or by the playground while your Keiki play. Or if you come during the evening on the 2nd Friday of the month you can catch Open Mic and get deep discounts off beverages. Since Rec 7 Cafe is not a retail Starbucks cafe, you can not use any Starbucks rewards and will not receive stars. However the cafe prices are slightly cheaper than Starbucks and have their own rewards program. Jessica, the cafe manager, is super sweet, makes you feel special by greeting you by name-even if you're at the rec center for other reasons than coffee (crazy, right!), and makes strong but smooth coffee! She is also attentive and welcomes any suggestions for improving the cafe.

    Free Samples!!!.

    I find this to be the best Starbucks on island. The staff is super friendly and after only a few visits remembered my buddies and I on a first name basis. The coffee has always been on point and unlike other Starbucks there are local bakery vendors that deliver fresh pastries. The R7 cafe offers Starbucks drinks for a discounted prices, a reward system, and there's Internet cafe right across the hall that's study friendly.

    Cute blackboard hand-drawn by staff!

I usually don't travel to Mililani as my car is not feeling very well but drove slowly and got here and decided to make it a day to explore once my errands were done and was happy to hear that they have a Teapresso Bar...they Yelp direction had me going in circles so let me say that this is located in Times Supermarket. Yes you heard me isn't that amazing! Though sadly it's a grab and go situation as there's isn't any seating but is a lovely spot right at the front of the market and is very busy is something that I expected with just a singular staff working it all I was impressed. With a full menu of selection it did take me a moment to decide but I just can't go wrong with Lemon Black tea and decided to keep it simple as it was just a hot and humid day. The gentleman before me ordered 8 drinks so I took the opportunity to explore the supermarket as I wait and was quite impressed of how this Mililani location was very different. Once my drink was ready it was made perfect and the staff was just a delight was a very nice vibe and know that when in Mililani this is the place for me. Thank you!

Since we're newbies, all of the drinks we ordered were from that menu. We were promptly greeted when we entered. And since we were the only people in the store we got to take our time to look at their complete menu and the claw machine (it has some Foodland palaka lunch bags in it.) Our drinks were made quickly and their cups are so cute! We snapped a few pictures in and out of the store. It's such a cute place so the girls enjoyed the photo op.

Our go-to has been the Jasmine milk tea with boba and custard, Husband loves the Ube Crumble or Lil Lychee, the last few times they've been out of Ube though. The Staff is friendly and they do crank our orders pretty fast. It's a pretty small place inside and they don't offer much sitting space, so it's definitely a grab and go situation. It seems that they used to offer food but did away with it. Price is a little high both drinks average about $14-$16 just depending on the toppings but we do love the quality of toppings and syrups used. They do take card and offer a rewards program.

The hubs and I had just finished dinner and were actually headed to a dessert spot in the same plaza, but when we saw their taproom, we decided to get drinks instead and I'm so glad we did! We stopped by around 8 PM on a Saturday night. Surprisingly, it wasn't overly busy and there were plenty of open tables! The bartender mentioned they had a huge rush during the day and it had calmed down for the evening, which she said is pretty uncommon for a weekend night. We ended up getting two flights: Flight 1: Lilikoi Cider, Guava Lava Cider, and their rotating seasonal flavor, Lychee Hard Seltzer. All so tropical and well-balanced! Flight 2 (Hard Seltzers): Mango & Li Hing Mui, Mojito, and Ube Blu Bae. The flight pours are super generous, you get three 5-oz pours per flight! Every single flavor hit the spot, but the Lilikoi and Lychee were total standouts. Huge shoutout to Brett, who checked us out at the end! He was super nice and gave us the breakdown on all their awesome weekly specials. We'll definitely be coming back during the week to check those out and try some of their food menu next time! Overall chill vibes, amazing local craft ciders, and stellar service. An awesome spot for a relaxed night out!

They use Poai by Pono Potions as their latte syrups which I love! If I get a drink, I'll get an iced mac nut latte. HOWEVER, I truly think the star of the show is the SOURDOUGH WAFFLES! It's made to perfection with a crispy outside and soft, chewy inside! You can choose waffles by itself or with fruits. The addition of fruits on top truly elevates it! In addition, the staff is always so kind here! I also just love what the owners mission is and the story behind Bizia's name :) Check it out their IG or look it up! They also highlight a lot of local artists and brands and sell some of their items in shop! Parking: Spacious lot to park Seating: Plenty!

You can even make it a pre-Costco shopping delight stop. The menu is always changing but it feels like there's always something delicious to be had.

Since it's freshly made, it's rich, creamy, and even a little scoop goes a long way. They even make waffle cones in store if you want to spruce things up for your dessert experience. The staff are friendly and handle rushes of customers well for the size of the shop.
