Rise and Grind used to be my favorite spot, I would go to them exclusively. Unfortunately, they…read morerecently changed their POS system and their rewards. Now everything is a little more expensive and the rewards don't feel rewarding. The tipping point that made me write an update is that they charge almost full price for drip coffee refills. Even starbucks offers refills on regular old black coffee. My husband used to enjoy going in to work on college or read so it was sad to not be able to refill his coffee. The espresso is still good (usually) and the pastries are good. The food items are also tasty. The seating and overall vibe is wonderful, and the workers are nice (the older staff are my fave tho!). They are still my favorite for a london fog, but I stop by less often now.

There are places to sit and you can read their origin story. Plus the staff are super helpful and friendly. While we were there, there was a nice flow of customers and yet it was fast.

Still love this place!! Service is friendly and quick. Inside is well-lit and nice to sit down and…read moreenjoy their drinks with friends/family. We only come for the rice yogurt drinks which are bomb! They're refreshing, light, have perfect tartness, and have great texture from the sticky rice and thickness! They added more rice yogurt flavors which I want to try, but for now my go-tos are the mango and taro. Also the price is fair!!

I've been to Have Some Tea twice so far and I like it! They have a great variety of drinks…read more I've tried the strawberry mochi smoothie and the signature milk tea with boba. The strawberry mochi smoothie was ok, the smoothie part was good but there was a little too much mochi for me-I felt like I was drinking straight mochi for part of the drink. The milk tea had a nice tea flavor and it wasn't too sweet. My boyfriend really enjoys their guava rice yogurt drink and that one is probably my favorite too! It has such a nice guava flavor and I like the texture and chewiness of the purple rice. The prices for the drinks here are reasonable and they come out fast! A quick, nice stop to get your drink fix.

In town visiting family for the week, tried a few different coffee shops but Holoholo was the best…read morehands down. I typically order an iced latte and add raw sugar (cane sugar) but since they didn't have any I went with an iced coconut latte. The flavor was perfect, not too sweet or coconut heavy. One of my biggest complaints is not enough ice and too much milk, Holoholo had the perfect ratio! Holoholo became part of my morning routine while visiting and I will absolutely be back. I would love it if they had a loyalty program (or maybe they do and I just didn't know about it) and I wish they had more of a selection of merch. I definitely would have bought a hat (limited selection) and shirt if they had more sizes.

I've heard of this place before so when I had to go to my son's football game in Kailua, I knew…read morethis was gonna be the place I had to try for sure. It's a cute little spot in the middle of Kailua, blink and you'll miss it. Had a hard time finding where to park, but other than that, it was a pretty simple to find location. Thank God for maps! In my head, I was thinking "drive up" like "drive thru" but I was mistaken. It's an actual walk up and order type thing. I was surprised that when you walk up to the deck area, there's a server/cashier standing outside waiting to take your order vs a walk up to the counter and order experience. Makes it feel much more customer service oriented. She explained to me the difference in all the drinks, and what I could add to each drink and what not. The matcha is pretty good! I was told that their matcha isn't naturally sweet, you need to add your own sweetness to the drink itself. The server did recommend vanilla, or brown sugar in which I opted for vanilla. That was a nice touch! Overall, the drink was good. The matcha quality is really nice. I have however, tried better. But that's just a personal preference at the end of the day. Will I be returning? If I'm in the area again, absolutely! Customer service is great, and I would love to try their coffee and other drinks. Love that I can bring my kids and they can run on the grass while I put in my order.

If you are looking for high-quality coffee and exceptional service, look no further than Sunrise…read moreBrew. Heather is a true expert who genuinely cares about her customers' preferences, and it shows in every cup. Her specialty coffees and cold brews are outstanding and very reasonably priced. What sets Sunrise Brew apart is the ambiance Heather brings to every location. Even as a mobile setup, she creates such a warm, inviting, and 'super cute' aesthetic that instantly brightens your day. I also love the versatility of her business--she can customize her services for events of any size, bringing that same cozy vibe and genuine 'aloha' wherever she goes. A must-try for any coffee lover!

Amazing coffee! So good. I would highly recommend the coffee bottled and using them for your event!!read more

OMG, this is a new find and I love this place!…read more This has quickly become one of my favorite cafes in the east side. The vibe is peaceful, aesthetic, calm, and welcoming, the baristas are incredibly kind, and the drinks are consistently excellent. So far I tried their matcha latte with almond milk and monk fruit and it was tasty, and then also had their version of the shaken espresso. The baristas aren't snobby and willing to customize your drink to fit your preferences which is great! They also have Wi-Fi if you need to work, cute merch, and plenty of space to relax. It's one of those places where you walk in and immediately feel better. I'll definitely be back again and again!

Everything was flavorful, refreshing, and really hit the spot. You can tell they put care into what they're making, and it's a great option if you're looking to try something different. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. I'm sure they'll take care of you and leave you with a drink you'll enjoy.

I'm basically a purist and am detoxing from too much sugary drinks so with a simple order thought it'd be fast...Taiwan Soring Tea no sugar no toppings...just tea he says...yup! Gave him $6.30 since it was $6.28 and next thing I know he was checking on what seems like a new staff and didn't give my change lol! It's two cents and not a big deal but just was watching it all was exhausting though it took longer than expected I got my drink and though they do have some seating in this cozy shop I had more errands to do. Great to see this Kaneohe location since the one in town has closed sadly but love to enjoy a simple tea without any sugar is refreshing. Thank you!
