Surfers has been one of the OG coffee shops in Central Oahu and is a popular spot!…read more Drinks: As of recently, I've been loving an iced dirty tiger spice chai. The chai is pretty sweet on its own so I add 2 shots of espresso to cut thru that sweetness and add a teeny bit more caffeine to the drink. They also have seasonal drinks that stay for a few months at a time. My favorite seasonal drink was in the summer -- I believe it was a haupia latte (cold foam on top was sooooo good with the coffee). Food: If I order food, it'll be the bacon burrito w/sauce. They also have other sweeter options for food (mochi waffles, avo toast, etc) Of the countless times I've been to Surfer's, there's a mixture of people - some locked in doing work, others catching up with friends, people reading their Bibles, tourists passing through checking out a local coffee shop, etc. Because of this, it can get pretty loud for a coffee shop, so just FYI if you plan on going there to do work! Overall, love Surfers :) Great vibes, amazing staff, and I'll always keep coming back here Parking: Back lot parking (located on Ohai St) or street parking (Kam Hwy) WiFi: Yes | Bathroom: Yes

They have ALL.THE.THINGS. I love tea so I normally get an iced tea... something... because all of their flavor combinations are amazing!

If you're uncertain about your choices, just ask and they'll help you narrow it down. Check them out! Oh and don't forget to register with their reward program.

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. It's such a cute spot and the drinks were tasty! If you're ever in Mililani Mauka, pay them a visit.

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.

I will always love this place! Today I sampled their Peanut Butter Coffee and Salted Caramel…read moreCoffee, and both were absolutely delicious. We ended up ordering a large Peanut Butter Cup coffee to take home. Of course, I also enjoyed browsing the gift shop, which is always one of my favorite parts of visiting. My favorite finds are the recycled gift bags and adorable coin purses. I took home a bag of the Peanut Butter Coffee and had it ground espresso-style, and I also picked up some Butter Nut Rum coffee for a friend. This is such a fun place to shop, whether you're looking for a unique gift for someone else or a little treat for yourself. The coffee samples, friendly atmosphere, and gift selection make every visit enjoyable. I highly recommend everyone visit at least once though if you're anything like me, you'll probably find yourself coming back every week (or at least I try to)!

Chocolate macadamia nut smelled delicious. We chose to take a bag of Hawaiian Coffee Cake coffee beans with us. They even offered to ground the coffee with us and I thought that was very thoughtful and kind of them to ask. The coffee garden was the perfect experience. There, I saw a peacock and the cutest chicks and mother. While it was busy in the cafe and store, it wasn't crowded at all in the garden!

I want to go back to try their other drinks as well! It was great for local businesses to support each other.

Luckily, I was able to get the most similar drinks to them. First off, presentation was perfection n' their aesthetic is so cute. The Salted Maple Coffee had a nice hint of salty n' sweet n' went very well with the coffee. I really liked the fresh strawberry puree in the Strawberry Matcha. Was hoping for more of a matcha-y taste throughout the drink. I believe they mentioned in an IG story that they will be sourcing a new matcha soon, so I am eager to see if that will enhance their matcha drinks to be the best it can be. Will have to try it out once it becomes available!

The worker helped put together several tables to accommodate our big crowd. Friends started trickling in and we had about 20 people by nights end. The service was awesome! A young man was helping us and he was friendly and even changed the tv station to UH volleyball for me! Props to them for that! He left several pitchers of ice water so that was convenient. Paradise Ciders doesn't have food, but there is a food truck parked in the back where you order your food from. Quite a neat concept, makes it easy when coming with a big group, everyone just gets their own food! The place was packed on. Friday night. I am surprised that they close so early at 10:00pm nightly. I had 2 Li Hing Sour drinks which was pretty pricey at $15, but I guess this is the going rate these days for mixed drinks. It was nice and strong!

We were told we could grab another chair (we were at a low top, no low top chairs available). We were told by two different workers that we could grab high top chair. So we did just that. A couple moments later, the bartender came by and said "Did you take that chair from the bar" my husband said yes we were told we could. She PHYSICALLY grabbed the chair that my husband was sitting on and said " if you are going to take a chair from MY bar I need $20" - saying this while FORCEFULLY pulling the chair from underneath my husband. EXTREMELY RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR. We walked out. The most nasty behavior I have ever witnessed at a business.

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!

Im super sad to leave a bad review because I do enjoy the drinks here and it is in a convenient…read morelocation. But management genuinely needs to make big changes to improve their service. I've been here over multiple times now and each time I leave feeling weird. A month ago I went in and I ordered a Matcha, the couple after me also ordered a matcha and when a matcha was called (my order) I was walking up to the counter but the couple grabbed the matcha and another drink they ordered. So I assumed maybe that was theirs and didn't want to correct them, (it shouldn't be the customers responsibility anyways) but then they realised that it was the wrong drink, after they already put a lid and a straw in it, and told the worker. I thought they would remake the drink... no she took the lid off and placed it right back on the counter and called the drink out again like nothing happened. I was actually so shocked but I didn't want to make a big deal about it so I left. Another time, I wanted to give them another chance, it was fairly busy which is no big deal but I came in with two other people and their drinks came out at a reasonable time. Where I was still waiting for about 20 minutes (I genuinely wish I was making it up) so I went to go ask about the status, and my drink was all mixed up and at the end of the line of everyone that was behind me. It also seemed like there was a new girl on the register because she did not know anything on the menu, I asked if they had soy milk (which I have ordered before) and she said super rudely "we don't have soy milk" and I was like "oh sorry I ordered it last time" and she was like "yea no we've never had soy milk"... okay I guess I was just imagining it. In all honesty, management needs to to seriously consider a name system or numbers, because to have this happen twice to me (Which I asked other people and the similar problems also occurred) it's just crazy, everyone lacks accountability and ownership entirely. All the workers seem like it's their first day on Earth. Whats happening to customer service these days... Trust me I understand and give a lot of grace as someone who's been in customer service jobs and a manager of a cafe. But it's very obvious the owners don't care.

You know it's legit because you can see all of the fruits that they make their smoothies with. I got an avocado smoothie (no boba for me) and my boyfriend got a honeydew with boba.
