Been me and my girlies go to for the past few years for our bi-monthly debrief, and we are not alone. Take a look around and there's always a few tables that look like the 2020 Hawai'i version of a Sex in the City girl gang talk fest. The location is genius. Who would have thought that putting a coffee shop in a hidden outdated strip mall in a tiny neighborhood valley would pop off? Yet it does. It feels current, it feels now. Surf Camp shares its name with its sister the popular Surf Camp attire and retail store which is the older sister as well to Up and Riding for kids- a surf themed clothing, accessories and shoes store in Kahala Mall. All of these spots exhibit a taste level, an eye for trends, and quality products. There's also a subtle but felt honoring of what makes local, local, underneath everything. I think that's what adds to the success. They know how to create a look, a vybe. Now when it comes to coffee I'd just like to do the shrugged emoji girl. Some of it I just can"t get into. I think I'm too old to get on the matcha bandwagon. I really just want drip coffee or espresso shots. I don't need fancy. I don't like milk. But my friends do, and I love my friends. The pastries are really good. The kids behind the counter are cute and hard working. I enjoy being here every time I come. If you want an experience with your beverage, a chill spot to sit and chat with your homies, or are headed out to Sandy's, Makapuu, Koko Head, or any of the other fun, beautiful spots this side has to offer, check out Surf Camp. I bet you'll be back.

I believe I tried their Iced Blueberry ( syrup made in-house ) Latte before...and was a bit…read moredisappointed. Well, a second bite of the cherry ( an English/British idiom ) and I have to say I enjoyed it this time. Blueberry syrup wasn't too sweet. I may not have mixed it well, previously. If I recall correctly, I've had their Iced Black Sesame and Iced Hojicha - not Kinako ( must be thinking of another café ) - Lattes. All quite good. Minimalistic, modern interior design ...makes for a nice cafe experience...but i got my beverage for takeaway. I like the green-tiled countertop. Open from 630a till 330p, weekdays. Weekends they are open from 800a to 200p. Parking shared with other establishments in the building on Halemaumau Street - try saying that 3x, fast. I parked in the Niu Valley Shopping Center where there are lots of stalls.

The atmosphere is beautiful, and the views are amazing. The service is also really good and pretty quick, which I always appreciate. I've also tried the French toast, and it was delicious! Just a heads-up: the bread is quite thick, so if you're not a fan of thick, fluffy bread, it might not be for you. The loco moco also comes with that same thick bread underneath the egg, but it's still really good. Overall, I absolutely love this place. Great matcha, beautiful atmosphere, good service, and delicious food. Definitely a 5-star spot for me!

Having more businesses and a solid coffee shop with Kai Coffee expanding to Kalama Valley is a big welcome. This place is located along Kealahou St. Easy to find. Just turn in from the stoplight between Sandy Beach and Hawaii Kai Golf Course and drive a minute in. Plenty of parking! Cozy, clean, and comfortable place with indoor and outdoor seating. Usual coffee choices with breakfast wraps and sandwiches. Friendly and efficient service. Its signature Kai Latte was good with a nice balance of macadamia nut flavor to coffee. House coffee was brewed well. My only issue is the cup sizes. Large is definitely smaller than the usual and not even filled to the top! The Turkey Pesto sandwich was really good. Nicely portioned and prepared well. Warm, crispy flatbread. Tasty pesto. This sandwich inspired me to buy pesto and make it at home lol. Overall, a solid, little coffee spot in a quiet, calm neighborhood that is Kalama Valley. Conveniently located just a minute from the main highway. Nice, friendly service with well-prepared food and drinks.

Fries were under seasoned, but they had ketchup. Interior is airy, spacious. The restaurant has beach vibes and they do have waterfront dining. Hours are from 800a till 800p; Sunday thru Thursday.

I got the blue Hawaii lemonade & to be honest it tasted more like a piña colada, so I didn't really like mines. My daughter got the cookies & cream shake or smoothie & she loved it. The drinks are a bit pricey. They did have those Dubai chewy cookie but for $8 for one no thank you. They also have the Dubai chocolate bar but didn't get it. The area is very neat & clean. Would I come back?? Sure, but only if in the area again.

Refreshing beverage in Hawaii Kai, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I was so excited that there was a Teapresso Bar so close to where we were having lunch. I thought that I could enter the drawing for $500, but this location isn't linked to that promotion... darn! Located in a shared space with Loco Moco at Koko Marina Center, the lone woman at the counter was just okay. It was a bit noisy from the customers on the other side of the room, so she had to speak a bit louder. I figured that since I'm there - and we walked all the way across the parking lot - and around the corner to find this place, I should get something... because it was quite a warm October day... My order was a POG (passion orange guava) iced tea. The woman didn't ask me for my level of sweetness or amount of ice. She just made the standard. It was alright. I let the ice melt because it was a bit sweet. I saw the passion fruit seeds on the bottom of my cup which told me that it's pretty authentic. I'll stick with the other locations of Teapresso Bar where the service is friendlier; the location is more convenient; and the environment is calmer.
