    Medium Dark Roast Coffee ($3.09).
    Fran C.

    Last week while I was working on the big island, I had some scheduled work appointments in Kea'au, Honoka'a, & Kealakekua. After finishing my job in Honoka'a, I made my way up north to Kamuela town, and I decided to stop by the local Starbucks that was located at the Parker Ranch Center. Upon walking into the coffee shop, there was a short line. The wait wasn't too bad, but after placing my coffee order for a dark roast coffee, I asked the barista for - "very little cream" in the coffee. When the barista put the cream in my coffee, her back was turned to me, so I couldn't actually see how much cream she was actually putting into my coffee (ya get where I'm going with this?). After picking up my cup of Joe, and heading off to my rental car, after I took a sip on my coffee, I literally spit it out & opened the lid of my coffee cup to take a look at my coffee! Aiyah! My dark roast coffee turned into a very light tan colored coffee, as the barista dumped so much cream in my coffee, it was ruined! Yeah, I get it.........we can't put our own cream in our drinks, as we're in the middle of a pandemic, but may I suggest the next time the barista puts cream in a customer's drink, at least do it in front of the customer, so that the customer can tell the barista how much they meant when I said "very little cream???". IT REALLY ISN'T TOO HARD TO DO THIS!!! On one of my recent coffee visits I had at the Honolulu Coffee Company, the professional barista, did exactly that for me, to make the perfect cup of coffee. So at the end, I basically wasted $3 bucks & some change because the barista basically doesn't know how to make a coffee and put in cream! Aiyah!!!

    I was told my cold foam had melted... rudely! In 6 minutes it disappeared from an iced vanilla latte

    I mobile ordered my normal drink, iced blonde vanilla latte with vanilla cold foam. I ordered it at 7:50am this morning on the drive into work, I parked and walked in to see my mobile order looking differently than normal. I asked the barista working, "Oh! Did you run out of cold foam?" She responded, "No, it melted by now" very rudely. I look at my drink order time and walk back to my car. I look at my clock in my car at 7:56am. You mean to say, I placed my order at 7:50am and in time to grab my ticket, make my drink, apply the cold foam... in less than 6 minutes my cold foam has melted???? I take a sip and it doesn't taste anything like the same order I placed yesterday afternoon at the same Starbucks using my mobile app to order it. The inconsistency is what gets me.

    Again went to the local Starbucks and had a great time it was first thing in the morning the customer service reps were cherry and on the ball a friend And I met a little after 5 AM for coffee and some study and we had a great experience. went in again today and the staff was amazing. Soy latte in house cup for a friend and Expresso for me in house cup. very good experience. happy friendly fast service . place was clean Fireplace still broken. been broken for years. either fix it correctly or remove it and make more seating common corporate also let the individual stores make the music selection and control the temperature. Having corporate control the temperature from Seattle makes no sense I don't care what your analyst say you're not going to sell more coffee or move us through the line quicker just gonna choose to go somewhere else on a cold day you keep the AC up really high and the fireplace broken those are my negatives

    Driving over from Hilo I had high expectations that I would walk in and find a hot just-brewed cup of Kona coffee waiting for me. Nope. Still, this is a nice respite from a day of island hopping and I think just about every mainlander with a Starbucks card makes a pilgrimage here to pay homage and get a little energy boost before heading back on the road and on to the delights of Kona and beyond. Lots of comfortable chairs - more than most - and the staff was outgoing and friendly. I think they do quite a bit of tourist biz and everyone was pawing over the Hawaii Starbucks cups, etc.

    I love the Surf Camp cafe in Niu Valley on Oahu, so I had to visit the Big Island location in…read moreWaimea! This coffee shop is located in a small plaza with a pizza place, taco spot, and Merriman's. The plaza itself has plenty of parking even when it's on the busier side on a weekend morning, so it's not hard to find a spot. Inside the cafe, there's a retail section that sells clothing and small goods, and a separate side to place your order and sit and enjoy your drink. The interior is bright and welcoming with a minimalist vibe, and even when we visited on a weekend morning, it was easy to find seating either indoors or outdoors. Service was wonderful -- we were helped promptly by staff, and my drink came out quickly. I got the black sesame latte with a chocolate chip cookie. I thought my drink was perfect, as the flavor of the black sesame was nutty, pleasant, and just the right amount of sweetness paired with the espresso. The cookie was on the softer/puffier side, and although it's not my preferred texture, it wasn't too bad! To sum up, I really enjoyed dropping by to get coffee here, and I feel like the quality of the drinks at Surf Camp is consistent across their different locations. I'll definitely come back if I ever find myself on Big Island for another trip!

The shop had a very minimalistic design with the perfect touches of Hawaii that made it such a relaxing and homey place to have breakfast. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, which wasn't super crowded on a Saturday brunch time. I got the cucumber bagel and black sesame latte. I loved the crunchiness of the cucumbers and you can tell they care about the quality of their ingredients. The ricotta was the perfect touch and brought everything together for a simple and filling breakfast. I love black sesame, so it was such a nice surprise to see they had a latte on the menu. I liked the nuttiness of the sesame, but the coffee was more on the bitter side. Such a cute shop that is the perfect addition to Waimea town. I would definitely recommend coming here for food and to check out the shop!

I was so looking forward to dining on delicious BBQ . we had to order our meals as take out online because of young children , so we looked to order at 4:30 pm . so i went online and believe it or not I was incredulous that they were sold out of Every single BBQed Dish pork, chicken, ribs etc I was so disappointed and in disbelief That I called the restaurant and sure enough it was true! shocking for a BBQ RESTAURANT to run out of BBQ! because our hearts were set on having their food , so burgers were ordered by the family and i ordered the ONO grilled with a side of cole slaw and grilled pineapple, and O NO the fish was so tough it was difficult to cut with a knife... it was tastless and chewy ... threw away half of it ! It was not the fresh Ono I expected and love! hopefully this does not happen often !!! I understand that Restaurants have an off night sometimes ... but this was SO SAD !!! in addition there was something (maybe a spice or something on the grill ) on either the fish and/or the pineapple , that I had an allergic reaction to ! my tongue swelled and was extremely uncomfortable!!! I have never had that happen before... it is sad that the cornbread and the coleslaw were the best part if the meal! The burgers were enjoyed so that boosted my score !
