    Outdoor seating

    I stopped by with my daughter to get a morning beverage. She likes this location because they always get her orders correct and the location is convenient to shopping. The staff is attentive. We ordered on app to pick up. I got a passion fruit ice tea (0 calories) and she got a latte. We had a short wait as they were crowded. The drinks were perfect. There is outdoor patio seating and indoor mall seating. Parking is easy early in the morning, but impossible later in the day.

    Well I haven't been going to Starbucks much these days because they have been messing up on my orders . Ever since I've been making my own coffee at home . Although lately I have a confession I been ordering their Pistachios cold brew . If you like Pistachios you'll like their iced pistachios cold brew . Starbucks cold brew is a special brewed coffee which is stronger than their regular coffees. I like my Pistachios cold brew on the sweeter side so I ask for 3 extra pumps of Vanilla . If you do t like sweet than just order it regular.

    Starbucks indoor... Leave it to Kahala to have two very different kinds of Starbucks though I do love the indoor and I've been going to this location for years and just can't believe I haven't done a review yet. One thing that I do love this location is their creative barista and staff as they do come up with exclusive menu items which does make it fun and easy as the internet versions aren't available at some locations so when they make it it does make it easier to order. Sadly the seating has changed to almost none though there are a few around the fountain area, Kahala is an indoor mall though seating here are scattered throughout the mall which doesn't make it a place to chill and get some work done but the staff here is fast and friendly so I usually stop by to grab some for the road. Thank you!

    I came here with Nadine after dinner to get a drink. This is the Starbucks inside of Kahala Mall. I live in town, so I don't come to this location too often. However, Nadine and I wanted to get our bonus stars. We came about 7pm and there were a few people in here. I got my usual grande Iced green tea. There were two people ahead of me, so the drink came fast. They had a few table and seats. They didn't have a great selection of cups though. That's the first thing I look for when I go into any Starbucks.

    I've been going to this Starbucks for years. It tends to get very busy at times but the line moves fairly quickly. Getting your order takes longer. A few times they have made a mistake or possibly someone else took my order. The large majority of the times my order is accurate. The drinks are all good, especially the holiday ones. They are pricey but I don't think you'll get anything cheaper elsewhere, at least not with the same taste and quality. Also, use your reusable cups to get 10 cents off and 25 extra star points! I've been to a lot of Starbucks and this is one of my favorites. It's nice to sit in an air conditioned table or chair and relax with your drink inside the mall. If it's not hot or muggy, it is so much nicer outside. There are seats and umbrellas right outside of the Starbucks. And if you're lucky, they'll have live entertainment outside of Whole Foods!

    5-6-23 Convenient place at Kahala Mall to pick up a quick afternoon snack. Missing star was not much indoor seating so you scrounge for an outdoor seat closer to While Foods cuz all the indoor tables in the mall were occupied. Just watch out where you sit cuz the pigeons have left deposits and the seats, a tell tale on your pants afterwards. Hubs went in to order but the other person with us did a mobile order.@

    Food, drinks, and merchandise at Kahala Mall in Honolulu, Hawaii... The Loyalty Program of Starbucks is great! I'm a Gold Card member and enjoy the perks such as free tea and coffee refills, freebie on my birthday, double Stars every day, etc. The Star Rewards Program notified me that some of my Stars will be expiring at the end of the month. After working so hard for Stars (by completing various challenges), I didn't want my Stars to go to waste. Stars can be redeemed for food and beverages - as well as merchandise! For example: 400 Stars can be redeemed for $20 towards a mug or cup. If you're a cup collector, you know that certain Starbucks (like the ones inside Target, Safeway, and Macy's) will not redeem Stars for merchandise. The Starbucks at Kahala Mall is an independent store and can redeem Stars (points) for merchandise! It's perfect for gift giving! The mainland people like the Hawaii Starbucks cups! I got the "Aloha Vibes" tumbler for my Los Angeles friend's birthday! I'll see her next week! Yay! I did consider the Hawaii mug from the "Been There" series, but I don't really want to handcarry a ceramic cup... And I did think about the stainless steel tumbler from the "Been There" series... And I looked at the stainless steel tumbler with the papaya pattern... However, I think that "Aloha Vibes" is more colorful and unique! So many choices! Haha! Anyway, Starbucks is a well known name. When you come to Kahala Mall and enjoy the air conditioning, carpeting, free parking, clean and safe environment... pass by Starbucks and look at the various merchandise!

    Handwritten message by barista

    Im in Hawaii to visit friends and I stopped by this Starbucks to pick up a drink. I didnt get the baristas name but she was so kind and made my drink really fast, literally didnt take more than 3 mins. To whoever was working around 5pm, thank you so much for starting my trip off right with a kind message. Awesome partners and service!

    VENTI NO ICE: Only stopped here because I have a gift card and they were doing $3 drinks for the week. Cashier was nice and told me to upgrade to a venti size from a grande since $3 was for any drink and size (this was not specified on the Starbucks app). I was shocked when I got my drink, I got a venti with no ice and it didn't even look like the picture and was less than half filled! So disappointing that they regularly fill the majority of the cup with ice!

    Need a large cup of Dark Roast Coffee this morning.

I do find that this is the type of drink you have to finish fast cause once the ice is melted it waters down your drink.
