Holiday cup

I love the way I went to this Starbucks for my free birthday drink -- that I had to wait over the estimated time because they out it in the drive thru window and then wait extra time for a cookie that takes 10 seconds to heat up only for it to get slammed on the counter. So I decided to give the cookie back bc I dont need any bad juju on my birthday. On top of poured out me drink bc it was actually nasty at the first sip. *positive note: we got the ham and swiss at only 4 minutes over the estimated time Go to waipahu, its worth the extra drive for great customer service.

Starbucksaholics... My besties' mom's extended visit due to mainland weather delays gave us more "we" time and she just needs to have her bucks-fix so in the Ewa area this would be the only place. Located in the heart of Laulani Village this location does have a drive-thru as well so they do gave very busy so parking too close to the drive-thru area is not recommended if you don't want to be trapped. With that they do have just a few seating and being the only Starbucks (besides the Safeway location) no seats whatsoever but thankfully there was a couple outside and it was later in the afternoon so it was a bit cooler. I always bring my cup...just incase and pile on the stars though mom paid I love the time we got to spend with each other as times like these are genuinely precious. I noticed that she's very active on the app she doesn't use the apple wallet to pay and tried to get it to work it so that she doesn't need to open her phone...which are all scattered with apps not grouped as well told her she needs to organize her phone lol! Moments like this is something I love as she's very independent, drives and is full of life we all need each other for support and love, just wished this location had more seating and though we say that with many places here is very much needed. Thank you!

We came to Laulani Village to have dinner at Rakki Ramen. I stopped by this Starbucks to grab a drink first. I grabbed my usual iced green tea in my reusable cup. If you bring in your own cup you get 10 cents off plus 25 bonus stars. You'll also be doing the planet a favor. The cashier was friendly. She took my order and I scanned my phone to pay with the app. There wasn't anyone if front of me, so my order came pretty fast. I got it within five minutes. I've been to many different Starbucks across the globe and their drinks tastes the same no matter what location you're at, so no complaints about the drink. Their selection of cups weren't that great. I've noticed that Starbucks inside Safeway and Target have way better cups verses the stand alone stores. The table that I was at was also a little dirty.

This review is for the drinks and not the service or employees. I have been coming here for a long time and it has gotten progressively worse. Drinks are inconsistent meaning some days my order is made perfectly while other days it doesn't taste right making me want to throw it out but don't because of what I just spent. If you order an ice coffee you can expect it to be filled with ice so you will be done with your coffee after a few sips or it will be very watered down. I have ordered my drink with light ice with no difference. I think I am finally done with Starbucks.

Don't block the cross walk.

1/31/25 I always place my mobile order when I leave my house. I live five minutes away from this location. Usually, I arrive 10 to 15 minutes later. Today my mobile order was completed however, when I went in the location to pick it up it was not ready. I ended up waiting another 10 minutes. Total 45 minutes wait. customer service not so good.

The drive through here is always busy so I actually prefer to order ahead or even walk in. Although it's constantly busy, the employees are super friendly and don't allow any customers to enter the door without welcoming them. I'm a cold brew type of coffee drinker but the ice brown sugar espresso is my new go to.

Came here because I had a starbucks gift card I had to make use of. This starbucks is convenient for me because it's close to me. The parking lot/drive through can be a hassle though. Sometimes when it gets very busy there's a long wait in the drive through that can go pass the intersection in the shopping center. Also there usually is a bit of a wait, I waited a little over 10 minutes in the drive through before I got my order taken. I normally would get a mocha frapp because I just love anything chocolate and coffee but it honestly doesn't taste good at all. My mom got a caramel frapp and I got the Pink drink, both were very delicious. Pink drink tastes like the pink starbursts candy. The crispy grilled cheese on sourdough is so good and fulfilling, I could barely finish it all. I expected my lunch to be a light meal but I was super full.

Took maybe 3-4 big sips from this tall iced coffee and I'm already sucking air! What's up with the ice being pretty much all the way to the top. My bad I guess. Gonna start hitting McDonalds iced coffee.

Drive thru line.

24 November 2020 I am not sure how or why I have not reviewed this Star-beezy before but, here it is... I am an avid-ish coffee drinker; however, I usually prepare my own French pressed coffee at home (sometimes using SB brand beans). For me SB is a bit of a luxury and most times I only visit when they have offers or if I am away from home and want coffee. This particular location is 1 of 2 SB in Laulani Village Shopping Center! ONE of TWO within 100 meters of each other!! However, this one is a stand-alone and has a drive thru. From my observation, this one gets a lot more business than the other location in the shopping center. The other SB is inside Safeway and does not have a drive thru. It seems EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I drive by, there is a long line (typically between 6am and 9am) at the drive thru and the surrounding parking lot is full, indicative of a busy in-store as well. This location is small-ish and the drive thru is usually a nightmare in the morning - the long line impedes the flow of traffic to the nearby businesses in the shopping center. There is only one door. This creates the potential for collision of customers entering and exiting. Although small-ish, I think they have enough room at the other end of the facility where another door could have been installed (they likely wanted to maximize indoor seating and opted not to add another door...which indoor seating is still blocked due to covid restrictions anyway). Of the two locations in the shopping center, I believe this location also gets a lot of customers since customers can order ahead using the SB app; order ahead is unavailable for the other SB location. The drinks offered and the merchandise is not drastically different from other SB. [SB should have a challenge - spot the differences between locations ]. Each time I have gone, I have had friendly customer service, and ordering via the app should not cause any mistakes with the order anyway. Though, my drink is generally simple. I visit this location for its conveniences - drive thru and ordering ahead availability and recommend it outside of the busy times.

One of my favorite Starbucks to go to. The staff is always friendly no matter how busy it is. Definitely makes it worth the wait and the stop by.

My baby!  Their Halloween drink was like orange juice blended. Meh.

Starting you off with a little coffee humor; Coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc. Just know that I don't give eeffoc until I've had my coffee. This location is really convenient, close to home where we can just walk or if we feel like jammies a drive thru..and a quick drive we can hit the drive thru. The disadvantage is the drive thru can get busy so the line wraps near Walgreens at times hindering traffic for other businesses in the area. I really enjoy personal experiences and relationships. I think it's a way to set your business aside from others. With corporate chains like this, it tends to get lost. However, this location is amazing at knowing their customer base and getting to know them. I love that feeling when I'm ordering at the drive thru intercom and they know it's me, able to finish my drink order for me. The friendly smile at the window, another simple gesture. But I love it doesn't stop there. They will say. "Oh hey Keri!" While other baristas peep their head around also to say hey." That really is so sweet and to know on a first name basis adds to the experience. One process improvement. We are on an island so logistically it's easy to run out of things. However, sitting in line just for that and not finding out until placing your order on the intercom and barista saying they're out, not so cool. They should post signage or block it on the menu. There is an anomaly of drinks the family and I get here. We all have our quirks and customizations. The consistency is great. Great job Ewa Beach Drive Thru Starbucks!

Overly iced latte even though the label shows I clearly asked for light ice.

Cheeee, shorter wait times at Local Joe West!…read more Been awhile since I visited and reviewed our neighborhood coffee shop! My husband makes lattes and cold brew from home more frequently now, but we visit Local Joe's when we want to restock on their freshly roasted whole coffee beans or for the occasional treat. This morning, I treated myself to a half sweet iced Audrey Hepburn and a breakfast burrito. To my surprise, service was fast! Granted, I was the only customer in line (~8:30am on a Saturday), but I didn't even have to wait five minutes for both iced coffee AND hot breakfast! I used to have to wait at least 15 minutes if I was the only customer. Great job and thank you, Local Joe West for improving wait times! (Granted, there may still be a wait during peak hours, especially on Sundays)

Unacceptable Working Conditions - Fix the Air Conditioning!…read more It's absolutely unacceptable that a busy establishment like Local Joe continues to operate without functioning air conditioning. Apparently, the ongoing excuse is that they're waiting on a single part to fix the problem. At what point does management decide enough is enough? This location receives significant customer traffic, and the employees work incredibly hard to keep things running smoothly. They deserve a comfortable, safe working environment, just as paying customers deserve a comfortable dining experience. The employees are not the problem. Management's failure to resolve this ongoing issue is. For a business that depends on its hardworking staff and loyal customers, allowing this situation to continue sends the wrong message about its priorities. This review isn't meant to criticize the employees, who deserve recognition for continuing to work under these conditions. It's meant to bring attention to an issue that management needs to take seriously. Stop making excuses, prioritize your employees and customers, and get the air conditioning fixed. It's long overdue.

But I took my kids to another coffee truck (A Little A Latte) and like it goes with kids, they made me late. So I got here right at 10. But it's ok bc Cai.CafeX3 was just getting here. So I was a tad annoyed. But then I actually looked at the sign and it said 11am. They opened the doors right on time at 11 and took the first two customers in. I waited not even 5 more min before they let me in. Initially they were still making drinks for Jolene's staff which I think is awesome to bless their staff with a drink but it really delayed the drinks for the rest of us. They were very nice tho and kept apologizing. Wasn't a huge problem bc at the beginning of events like this you need to hit your groove. I was out of there by 11:22. The girls in front of me ordered a total of 4 drinks, and I ordered 3 drinks.... So I guess over all with all the staff drinks they had to make, and the fact that it was only one drink maker... they were still pretty quick. The line was wrapping around Jolene's so I think they will do well. I ordered the Vanilla Salted Caramel, the Strawberry Matcha Spritzer, and the Hojicha. They were only offering oat milk today, I think to manage the line, but if you go to their IG they normally offer other milks. I will need to try them again when I can choose bc I do not really like oat milk. But I do like how you can customize your sweetness level. All our drinks were good. My daughter pilfered the spritzer. Of the three the salted vanilla was the best. Their straws were cute pink heart straws that didn't photograph well in its wrapping. But my daughter says she's gonna use one on Wednesday bc it's pink lol. And we got a cute sticker too!
