    Was unable to order the Truff Jalapeño Lime Hot Sauce and Truff Original Hot Sauce
    Sunny V.

    This mornings experience was the worst customer experience at this location. We mobile ordered the usual black tea with strawberry puree and it barely had the strawberry flavor. There's also a new sauce that I like and on the app we were unable to order the Truff Jalapeño Lime Hot Sauce and Truff Original Hot Sauce. When we got into the store and asked if they still had it, they did and gave it to us, but we were talked to as if we were stupid in a condescending tone. He was telling us to order it on the app next time but even after trying to explain it was unavailable he kept insisting it was. I usually don't write bad reviews because I have a lot of patience, but I did not like the way he talked to us. I get if it's busy and people have rough days... either way, unacceptable.

    Typical quality experience. Efficient and friendly staff. This has to be the hardest Starbucks to find. This is on the ground floor by taxi and parking. Google led me to another local coffee place. Don't give up! It is past Marshall's and the Post Office.

    Lavender matcha oat latter
    Sherene H.

    I love Starbucks and I love their mobile order online. You never have to wait in line again, just place your order ahead. You can customize it as well! This time I tried their new lavender matcha oat latter. I was hesitant about the lavender so I got light lavender foam. However, next time I will definitely get it regular foam cause it's soo delicious! The matcha and oat milk is so creamy and the lavender is a nice additional complementary flavor to the matcha. It's definitely better than the lavender oat latte. 4 stars only cause it was $6.75 for this latte! Starbucks is getting more pricey every year. Definitely worth a splurge once in a while though!

    At ground floor of Ala Moana Center. Service was quick and not many in line to place order. There were a four tables with pair of chairs for customer to sit. No outlets for electronics to recharge. Staff member were welcoming customers and friendly at the cash register. Drinks were quickly made.

    I like coming to this Starbucks location. The staff is welcoming and our drinks are made well. Our drinks are always on point and made to order. The staff is AWESOME! They are always smiling and super friendly. Such a welcoming feeling when in there. The patrons are also friendly! The store is clean with some tables against the wall for sitting. There is also music playing on the store speakers. There use to be a public restroom but not anymore and more tables in the center, but probabaly due to covid there are only tables against the wall which is understandable.

    Ordering time.

    Let's set the scene. I ventured into this Starbucks, which is located on the street level of the Ala Moana Center. It's on the side of Surfer's Bakery and ABC Store. It's important to note that I went here around 5:15 p.m. on a Thursday evening. The day of the 50% off promotion for Starbucks' app users! It was crazy fun?! So many customers that you couldn't tell the order line from the wait line! I had to ask the people where was the line to order. The mood was festive and exciting for me! Some of the customers looked happy : ) and some, not so much : (. I considered leaving due to the number of customers, but I watched in amazement the sheer gut determination of the baristas to get those orders out! I literally wanted to shout out and clap my hands out loud for their frenzied work ethic. Here's to you all (clapping hand emoji). I stayed in line and placed my order for a venti Gingerbread Latte and a cup of ice. I wanted to try one of the holiday drinks. The Gingerbread Latte was spiced just right. The wait was long, but to be expected. The latte was nice, but the ice had coffee grains ? in it. So I tossed that away. I passed by here an hour later and I spied only three customers in store. I'm pretty sure the baristas needed the welcomed respite. Bravo Baristas!

    I stopped in yesterday before starting work. It was surprisingly busy that early in the morning around 8:30am, which makes sense. There wasn't too long of a line when I got in though, so I was helped fairly quick. I didn't catch her name, but the cashier that assisted me was very patient. I wasn't able to get into my Starbucks app because I didn't update my device yet, and she was very patient and waited for me to figure out where I needed to go to get access. Her customer service skills were great. She made an effort to talk story with my while we figured that out, and kept the conversation going. I even came back a second time to get food and she checked with the other baristas to make sure that I got my order. I got a Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso with match cold foam added to the top. If you haven't tried it yet I highly recommend it. I normally get it with oat milk inside.

    Just reopened at this location. Lots of parking and convenient to shopping at Ala Moana. Service was quick and friendly. And it's finally starting to feel normal. Staff still wearing masks and cleaning along the way. Had our usual favorites - dragon fruit refresher or mocha expresso and a few bites of their lemon loaf or cake bites. Same great coffee and snacks!

    Excellent service!! Quality/Quantity - Got an ice drink for my daughter, 2 glasses of water, and a cup of ice. Atmosphere - Take out only, no seating. Service - 6 stars, cashier was very patient and accommodating thank you!! I did not expect them to give me 2 extra glasses of water and an extra glass of ice as it was so hot today!! Price - I did not even look.... But tipped well!! Thanks again for the great service.

    It was like any other Starbucks. The workers were friendly and patient. I came in to try "the Zendaya" drink that I saw on social media. Apparently, she orders this drink all the time, so they named it after her. I went up to the cashier and showed him the picture. It was a venti iced matcha green tea latte with coconut milk. It was ok, but refreshing. My hubby said that it had a funny taste. He's probably not used to it, since it contains a lot less sugar than his usual Frappuccinos. There was a small line that moved pretty fast. The workers were on it to clear that line.

    I really like this Starbucks because they legit care about their food. I know Starbucks food is never the star but it should be sometimes!! Their spinach wrap thingy is so yummy way better than I expected and it was a nice snack in the car to have while we dealt with traffic. Their mango dragon refresher was also better than expected. This all perked me up and I was ready to start the day! My blood draw was also this day and the nurse actually had a easier job than usually can't go wrong with this Starbucks

    Starbucks Happy Hour (2pm-7pm) on Thursdays in December 2019... I was driving my friend to her car at Ala Moana Shopping Center when I saw this Starbucks on the Ground Level. I remembered that it was Happy Hour - Buy One, Get One Free - and I suggested to my friend that we take advantage of this offer! She agreed because she had a Gift Card to use! We parked right in front in the covered lot and walked up to the cashier and placed our order. At first, my friend wanted one of her usual drinks. I pointed out the Holiday Specials and she selected the Caramel Brulee Latte - iced. I chose the same, but with Almond Milk and no whipped cream. Both drinks came out fairly quickly. We sat for a while in the small shop. We enjoyed watching people on their laptops...while other people looked like their eyes were closed... I don't blame them. The music, air conditioning, and cozy ambiance are soothing! After a bit, the wooden chairs got uncomfortable, so we took a walk with our beverages. This is a busy, but efficient location of Starbucks. We appreciate the Holiday Specials, the free WiFi, convenient restroom, the Happy Hour deals, the gift cards, and the handy app!

    Mauka side of Ala Moana Shopping Center. Stopped by to get a iced green tea with no sweeter or additional water. It was nice on a hot day. There wasn't a line so no waiting. Maybe they will put back the table and chairs.

    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.
