After hiking stop by for coffee an a quick bite. It's very convenient right off H1 and the Pali hwy. The seating and space is larger than many of the Starbucks I've stop in. Places order for coffee and turkey bacon egg breakfast sandwich on English muffin. It was served hot and tasty. The placement of the turkey bacon Was of folded over on one side of sandwich otherwise it tasted good. Received order fairly quick, there seemed to be ample staff. read more

This location is very convenient but can be VERY busy at times. The employees are friendly and seemed as though they work well together based on how they get their orders through quickly. Mornings are probabaly the busiest but they make things happen. They have been pretty consistent with my orders and no complaints here. My iced coffee is made well just as i like it customized and the food is always heated well as needed. Parking can be limited due to other stores and restaurants in the area but most people leave after they get their coffee orders so you never wait too long. The inside can be a little loud when it's busy but I feel like it's normal especially for morning traffic. Mobile ordering also help a lot and glad that they have it available. read more

Ugh... The morning crews here are hit or miss. Very 50/50 on what kind of service youll get when you walk through their doors. Mobile order ETAs are not true. Expect another 5-15 minutes in-store no matter how far ahead youve ordered. Out of all the times Ive been here, my mobile order was ready ONCE on the counter when I walked in. Fridge section variety sucks. Bakery selection is always down to the bones. Seasonal items are usually sold out and the wait time for heated items takes forever. Ive ordered coffee tumblers to go from here and that was a nice experience. They gave lots of extra cups, condiments and even drew flowers all over my boxes. read more

This is a busy Starbucks every day and especially in the mornings. That's why I want to jump on here and give a warning to my lactose intolerant friends, double check with the barista that the milk they used to make your drink is the alternative milk you requested! I ordered oat milk at the counter and my drink was waiting for me but the baristas were very busy so I didn't double check. A few moments later, I realized they certainly did not use oat milk, but regular milk. Hope this saves some of you future stomach issues. read more

nice people, good coffee but not a good study area. No outlets so you can only work as long as your devices can hold a charge.

So, ever since I redownloaded their app this is the location that I've visited most often - along with three other locales. The app makes ordering and pickup convenient but with the rewards they offer, they ( as evil big corporations do ) entice you into spending more...it is a decent trade-off. Operating hours start from 430a...and like most Starbucks locations it is super busy in the morning. Weekends they open at 500a. Nitrol cold brew is offered but I have to be very tired and ordering around 430a -hasn't happened yet - to need that jolt of caffeine. Service is good and timely...there are always mobile orders...customers in line...and folks dining in. Lots of parking stalls in the Nuuanu Shopping Center but there is a high volume of traffic so parking can be difficult despite the high number of mobile orders customers getting in, then out. read more

For every weekend in December, Starbucks is giving out free short Hot Chocolate with every grande drink ordered from 12pm-6pm. I got here about 6:15pm and the barista still honored the promo. Thank you so much. Since it's been cold lately I've been getting the hot Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai. It's my go to these days. I love this drink. I also tried the Cranberry Bliss Bar. Dang, I didn't know it was going to be this good. I thought it was going to be way sweeter by just looking at it, but it wasn't. That bar was just perfect. Everyone should try this at least once. You must know by now that I love Starbucks. I'm there almost everyday. I have a huge collection of their cups and need to stop, lol. They also sent me an invite earlier in the year to join their Starbucks Odyssey app. They're currently beta testing it. I racked up a whole bunch of points and redeemed it for a T-shirt. It should be coming in the mail soon. read more

This is our favorite Starbucks location in this area. The staff is always friendly and quick with our orders but the best part is they have the ice! Haha that's what my son calls it, it's the small ice that can easily be chewed on. Every time I get my drink, I get him a cup of ice as well. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It's all in the stars... Lately there been quite a commotion...uhhhh promotions with Starbucks on their Wins-day deal and double stars weekend on all drinks and food purchases especially combined with offers it's been so hard to resist. It's hard to play favorites as each location does vary for many reasons but this Nuuanu Shopping Plaza formerly The Hungry Lion location is a cozy spot. Parking is never an issue though seating is decent but one thing never changed here for as long as I knew is that they never closed their restroom...code needed for sure but as many still to this day keeps it closed and you have no idea how much I seriously appreciate that and for many other reason why I stop here. The staff here has always been friendly the decor is nice and artsy with huge windows that brings in a lot of light or for you to gaze out and chill. Thank you for supplying me with treats and relief as I'm extremely grateful! Thank you! read more

This store is near a freeway entrance so LOTS of foot traffic in and out of this location. Hood sized parking lot with lots of cars also coming in and out (for their mobile orders) - but usually can easily find an open stall. Friendly staff and most mornings the mobile orders are quickly made. I really wanted to rate 4 stars..... ....BUT -- this has happened too many times (see pic posted) that I have to write a review. My $8 venti ...missing so much! If it wasn't expensive, it would be a non-issue or if it could even be just a little closer to the fill line? Otherwise, drinks usually are made well and taste the way they are expected to taste. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The Starbucks on Nuuanu and School Street has gone from being our favorite daily experience to our worst experience. Former baristas who became our friends moved to other locations as they could not take it there anymore either. Latest incidents: a group of unruly, foul-mouthed, disrespectful teenagers from the nearby SEEQS Charter School have taken over this Starbucks. Their school "Leaders" (Principals) are equally rude about this situation & state they have no control over students off their property. Only responsible reply was them wishing I had photos of their students engaged in this behavior. I offered several solutions but they were not interested. (From my experiences as a student, parent, & teacher.) Having been a teacher here at both private & public schools of all grade levels, I have NEVER witnessed conduct like these teenagers display. They have disobeyed every item that violates Starbucks' Code of Conduct: harassment, disruption, improper use of bathroom, foul or obscene language, hate speech, etc., etc. And have taken it beyond. Starbucks should post this required Code of Conduct. These teenagers sit or lie on floor with their backpacks near entrance/exit often obstructing the doors. They treat Starbucks as their playground with no limits to their actions. These students are extremely boisterous, & when asked politely not to crawl around floors as it is not safe for them, they all flip their middle fingers and say,"Fuck you!" & continue. When I complained 3 months ago, their Managers were advised by the District Manager for Hawaii to ask them to sit in chairs. They don't always follow that, as this location removed half their seating a few years ago. I was told that Starbucks did not want customers to overstay their welcome. Just like they covered all electrical outlets for laptops. I used to work in Starbuck's corporate office. What happened to making Starbucks "your home away from home" to justify their prices? So now, these students, who have no respect for others or Starbucks, have taken over the little seating available for long-term, professionals (who have difficulty engaging in conversations) and then spill out onto floor. A group of eight of them chased me to my car, all swearing at me (after I complained to Asst. Mgr previously about them). I seriously thought they were going to hurt me and/or damage my vehicle. They have also gone after my daughter who is aghast at their behavior. We have both been called "fucking haoles". This Starbucks was always the delightful, beginning of our day. Now I avoid it like the plague. Due to my schedule recently, I decided I would need to go there briefly, very recently. Half of them were sprawled on floor, near entrance, as usual. I mentioned this to lovely barista, Brian, who shared that when they arrive, are so very loud, etc. & offered to tell them to find seating. I quickly ordered and stood behind a column, but noticed they were all moving towards me, so asked to speak to Manager, Dey. I shared my experiences with her and requested that she walk me out of Starbucks, due to them positioning themselves so close to me. These students began following us, so then had to ask her if she could walk me to my car. Luckily, they stopped at door. I noticed when she returned that she had chat with them near entrance & one of tables some had been sitting at. I reported this to Corporate (now only option is Philippines) but Supervisor promised he would relay it. District Mgr left me voicemail & I will be talking to him today. One of my friends who is attorney said that Starbucks is setting themselves up for lawsuit. Since their charter school will do nothing about this, I believe Starbucks should ban SEEQS students from Starbucks. read more

The people are very polite however I've been there three times in the past month and all three times I had to cancel my order walk next door to the 7-Eleven and get change for $100 bill. It's very inconvenientand doing so has made me late all three times. The one time that I went back after getting changed from the 7-Eleven I ordered a pumpkin spice latte extra sweet there was absolutely no Sweetness in my pumpkin spice latte and they didn't even ask me my name. I don't understand why a place like that that busy would not have change for $100 bill yet the little 7-Eleven across the street has been able to break it every time it's really sad. On the mainland I never had this problem. I will say the place is clean and the people are polite. read more

Starbucks Nuuanu is in close proximity to my home and office. Located in the old Chun Hoon Supermarket location turned Walgreen's and now only a few merchants remain, Starbucks being one of them. Parking is plentiful. Staffing here more pleasant than normal. Sitting area is clean and relatively quiet for a Starbucks. Best place for a Starbuck's if you are in the area. NUFF said read more

I feel that the more crowded they get the less they concentrate on your drink. I got a toffee nut soy latte no whip but some strange foam and the coffee wasn't even to the top. I'm not trying to spend $6+ for air. This isn't the first time this happens so this is why I give a complaint. Everyone works hard for the money to get coffee. If it is like this then I can make coffee foam at home and not spend so much. This is my treat, come on Starbucks!!! read more

This review is for their facility. The coffee is great. There's never enough parking and no seats. I placed a mobile order for 2 drinks in anticipation of studying. It was after 4:30 pm. No seats. Also, the restroom part of the mall and not in the store. read more

No bathroom. Extremely disappointing. Terrible. Really wanted to use the restroom and then have a coffee and relax before we had to head to the airport. read more

I don't normally order here I normally go to the kamehameha shopping center one because everyone over there is so nice even though they are way busier than this location. But I order a lot of food and they never gave me a bag, I ordered ahead and there is nowhere on the app that says to purchase a bag for 15cents which I think if your doing mobile order and you have a lot of food that maybe you should provide a bag or at least give an option to purchase one on the app! Everyone else got bags. The guy who was passing out the orders today was not the nicest about it either! The blended drink just came out and already it was all melted! It's a blended drink not a regular drink, like there was no texture no nothing! Idk I think if you want to have good coffee just go to kamehameha shopping center Starbucks because this one is just not it! read more

Fantastic customer service from the entire staff. Friendly service and quick in and out. I've been ordering my favorite drinks: 1) Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso 2) Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte 3) Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso and the newest 4) Iced Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso Always use Starbucks Mobile App right before I leave home heading to work. Every time I arrive, it's always ready and available at the right counter. I just skip the line, and it's there! Now that the store is available for sit down, you can now sit and enjoy your coffee and they've finally reopened both restrooms! Just ask the barista for the code! read more

I keep giving this location a chance hoping the next time they would get my order right. Doesn't matter if I order before or come in and order. There's always something missing in my drink that I pay extra for which is the Vanilla Cold Foam-- or they put too much ice that I have to order my drink with no ice then go to work or home and add my own ice. So ridiculous. Pls take a few seconds to confirm the drink before you walk away like me and get to you destination and realize-- they missed something. Annoying. read more

Usually gets my order made quickly. Bummed that I've been there a couple times since the mystery color change tumbler came out and all them have been green.... Not much of a mystery smh read more

I can't believe I never do a review for this place. For Starbucks cup release days this place doesn't have very much choices so that's sad if you want to come here for that. Convenience of this place for me to get my morning fix or mid day fix is perfect. It gets very busy here. Staff are pleasant and nice. I haven't had any bad encounters. There's a separate line blocked off for mobile orders only and makes it very convenient for the introvert me LOL. There is pretty Ample parking and close to the freeway for which ever way you are heading. read more

Nuuanu gang won the Starbuck's Hawaii Barista Championships! I wondered about this as it was advertised, but no notification of whose the winners! Woo hoo!!! These guys are so friendly and take pride in their work. I was doing a challenge of spending $20 which gives me 75 stars. I save my stars for merchandise that I can give away as gifts. They are great for food too! I ordered three venti green tea latte with almond milk to go. I love this drink, not too sweet...want a smooth textured green tea matcha. It was fast and had a conversation with three guys. Masks required, employees and customers. Social distancing Hand sanitizers These guys and Ala Moana have become my favorites! Ciao! read more

Why be a coffee shop? Don't offer your customers bathroom or outlets. Also this one is a busy location.

Then, i took my venti shiny starbucks cup out to pour drink. Joe asked if I completed the order by mobile because there is a personal cup option. I said I'd forgotten to select it.

My wife ordered two Holiday special coffees but when she got home we were disappointed to find she received two iced Americanos instead. She called back and talked to the manager Ashley who told her she could come in anytime to receive the two Peppermint mochas she had ordered. She went back several days later and they told her she had not returned in 48 hours so they could not honor that promise. So we were disappointed twice. Appalled by poor service. We won't ever go back! read more

Wow! Something new never seen this before a personal message sticker on the coffee cup. I'm working on my Brewed Awakening Badge so need to hit up 10 different coffee shops before 8am. Normally I always go to my Kahala drive thru but I decided to go to Nuuanu Starbucks and that's when I seen this personalize message on my drink. Well maybe it's early in the morning so they have time, but when they start getting busy I think they might not add that personal touch . I thought that was cool , be safe and keep on wearing your mask read more

No idea why they're only at 3 stars. They get super busy but crank out the orders with high energy and lots of smiles. They usually even greet everyone as they come through the door - what great vibes! Also before Christmas I picked up a mobile order and it had a stickie on it with the best message. I took it off my cup and pasted it inside my car. I see and appreciate it every day. This team goes above and beyond!! read more

These ladies are awesome! I made my phone order and apparently made a mistake on my order... these ladies had np issue remaking my drink even though they followed my order to the T!!! Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding!!! read more

They no longer have self serve half and half. Gets annoyed when you ask for it but more annoyed if they make it wrong and they have to remake the drink. To the barista today, get a job where you don't have to engage with customers you don't deserve a job at Starbucks. I'm done tipping at this location. read more

This Starbucks has a good sized parking lot and so convenient for popping in for a drink. The food is cute and tasty. Maybe a little on the small portion size. I enjoy the cute characters on a stick to eat. Service is quick. The ambiance is the usual relaxing, low light surroundings read more

Stopped to grab my usual after ha I g lunch next door. The staff were friendly and made my order quick. Love how they made it a little personal!! It actually made me smile that they added a little touch to the cup. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 was because they had all there plugs covered and I was sitting in store so I figured I could do a little work while enjoying my drink.

I felt i needed to update this review. They have gotten a lot better at staffing this location and customer service is a lot better. My tip for this location though is to use the mobile app you will get your drinks a lot quicker. Also the have Nitro Cold brew on tap which is a plus! Its close to the freeway on ramp and close to downtown. Its the most convenient SB for me! read more

Love Starbucks. Atmosphere and food is always good but you have a cashier named Joe there that was rude and off putting. You need to retrain him to be a lot friendlier in his interactions. read more
