Favorite new food spot!…read more FOOD: Fish sandwich and salad was amazing. The ginger and pineapples really enhanced the flavor. The matcha soy latte was so good. A lot of vegan options as well. SERVICE: Customer service was stellar. They were very attentive and accommodating. PHYSICAL SPACE: Restaurant was clean and even had fly fans on each table. Staff is attentive to wiping tables down. HEADS UP: It is very popular, so there was a long line and parking is a sport, but it was worth it!!

Disclaimer: I have a high quality preference for coffee…read more The coffee was overpriced and unfortunately made. Watery, no texture, no flavor from the beans at all. The pastries were ok. We will not be back for the coffee. This was comparable to starbucks and I would rather go to starbucks (and I don't like starbucks). Parking was difficult. Ambiance is great as it is in Four Seasons.

It's a good café with a great view. I think the price is justified for the scenery, though it's…read moredefinitely more expensive than Starbucks. I do have a nut allergy, and sometimes the staff doesn't write the milk choice on the cup, which makes me a bit uneasy. That said, I'll be more verbal about it next time to make sure it's clear. One thing I didn't love was that the ice was stored in what looked like a typical camping cooler. I'm a little skeptical about how well those get cleaned, although it's possible their ice machine was just down that day. Overall, the view is amazing, the coffee is fine, and the food is quite pricey. There are a few menu items I'd splurge on, but with an ABC Store close by offering very similar options, I'd probably be selective about what I order.

It does come as a single link, but it's perfectly portioned for an average breakfast and leaves you feeling full and satisfied without being overly heavy. My husband ordered the country fried chicken and really enjoyed it. The portion size on his plate was especially generous. Of course, we had to try the pancake flight--it was delicious and just the right amount. I love having a variety without feeling overwhelmed. One small note: I ordered a regular drip coffee and found the price a bit steep $5, especially since it only includes one refill--so definitely be sure to ask for it to get your money's worth. Overall, this is a spot we'll absolutely keep coming back to!

Stopped in for a Loco Moco and left feeling like an inconvenience rather than a customer…read more I ordered at the counter and was never offered a place to sit -- despite plenty of open tables. When I was handed a bag and asked if I could eat in, one employee looked to the other, who replied "I guess" -- as if my staying was an imposition. I've been sitting here and haven't been offered so much as a glass of water. To top it off, I ordered my eggs over medium and they came out with a fully hard yolk. A small detail, but it matters -- especially when the rest of the experience is already falling short. Hard to recommend when both the service and the food miss the mark.

Stopped by 85°C Bakery Cafe in Kapolei and grabbed a large iced sea salt coffee with 25% sweetness…read more It was solid--smooth coffee flavor, not too sweet, and I really appreciate that you can customize the sweetness level. Great price for good quality coffee. The bakery section looked amazing with tons of options, but we didn't get to try any this time. Definitely planning to come back and explore more of their baked goods. Location is super convenient with plenty of parking, which makes it easy to pop in without stress. Highlights: - Customizable drink sweetness - Good value and quality - Lots of baked goods to choose from - Easy parking and convenient spot Looking forward to trying more next time!

I can't believe I've never done a review for Teapresso Bar Kapolei. It's definitely our go to when…read morewe're at our 2nd home. Conveniently located just down the hill from mom's house. Plenty of parking that shares wi th the Chinese restaurant next door and a dental office. The building itself shares a space with. Nail salon which I always thought interesting. There's a few seats inside and as of this year they sell a few Knick knack things and have books for kids as well as board games. This visit was rather strange though we walked in and no one was at the counter. No bell to ring. We said hello a few times and we were ready to walk out. But one of the ladies from the nail salon was sitting at the table in the corner and we asked if they were open. She alerted someone in the nail salon and she came out promptly. This time around we ordered the mango sticky rice and D2 had the lava flow. I was curious about the mango sticky rice, bc it's blowing up all over the place here at various other places so I had to give it a try. I thought it was something new. Turns out it's just like mango sago that I get on the mainland. It was good though and very satisfying. Blended fresh mango, coconut milk, and mini sago pearls. D2 wasn't sure how she felt about her lava flow though. She asked what a lava flow is supposed to be and I told her coconut and strawberry. When I saw her drink it was more yellow and possibly pineapple?! She said it definitely tasted like pineapple more-so than coconut. Oh well maybe their interpretation is different. She drank it anyway and said at least she's tried it. We've been so many times I've lost count. They have a rewards system by just typing in your phone number. We've tried so many things like li hing lemonade, passion fruit slushes, coffees with egg pudding. And everything is good.

Happy International being you day…read more.. Embracing what I love is tea and I've been fortunate to have traveled and know the various types of teas and enjoy it as it's purest ways which brings me to Teapresso Bar and this Kapolei location since I'm in the area is unique as it shares its space with nail/lash salon but is very separated and is nice that there lots of parking for a quick sip. One thing about here is you're able to customize your drink and it was the Hojicha no milk no topping and light 25% sweetness and that's it and this yummy and refreshing drink is perfect on this hot Sunday morning. The staff is okay but I do love the little trinkets and snacks they have to capture you but luckily my drink was made fast so that I had no time to browse but was sad that the heat sealer was between the graphic images so I had none to smile about as these little gesture do make a difference and hope it gets adjusted as it is part of the whole vibe. Thank you!

Ambiance- 5 stars Food and drink- 5 stars…read moreService- 3.5 stars I visited this coffee shop yesterday after my morning workout and this made me want to habitually discover a new coffee shop every Wednesday ! First, this spot is located on the corner of Ho'omohala and Nana Hope street near the Ho'opili community. Btw, this area blew up! Such a family friendly and cute neighborhood! Second, there is no designated parking for this coffee shop so you will have to find somewhere on the street to park. Beware, there are nparking signs across the street that indicate "No parking " so be sure to pay attention to signs. They tow! Third, the service was slow because there are only two baristas who worked as efficiently as they could so I wouldn't come here if you're in a rush to go somewhere. I ordered a large, French toast hot latte and their breakfast burrito that came with a small container of salsa. Everything was delish and believe that nothing went to waste after the calories I burned at the gym. Hehe. The French Toast latte brought back memories and felt like I was holding the season of Fall in a cup of:) Definitely recommend that you check it out if you're a coffee fan. Other seasonal beverages include the Audrey Hepburn, Royal Hawaiian Mocha and Thai latte. Spot the new stuffie?

I decided to try one of the local favorites (designated on the menu with cat paws) -- macadamia nut. It was a little too sweet for me, so I got my son to switch his brown sugar milk tea, which I liked better. The boba had good texture, but I would have liked it a little sweeter. My milk tea standards are pretty high, and this was decent. Better than Teapresso but not as good as Seven Leaves in So Cal.

I walked in looked at the menu, let me add the limited space in this store with customers coming in and leaving with their orders made me realize that I stepped into a small business that's thriving. As stood in line and looked at the menu board, still unsure of what to order. I walked up to the counter and asked a few questions. The employee was very helpful and helped me to decide, she also made me aware of what I was getting. For myself I got the Affogato (A scoop of ice cream & shot of green tea). For my husband I gotten him the iced matcha $7 and added their house-made syrup earl grey for a $1. Their matcha tasted rich, earthy, smooth, creamy & vibrant green color. Which seems to be of good quality. I don't normally drink matcha green tea, it was definitely delicious treat and will order it again.

The staff is always friendly and fast! The standouts are the managers -- they have the gold name tags. It's located conveniently in the same building as Foodland with direct entrances to both shops, it's always tidy and their merch makes for really cute gifts! The employees are knowledgeable and we enjoy watching them make our drinks. Once in a blue moon, I want to try something new and ask them to suggest a drink 9 times out of 10 it'll be delicious! It's always a quick stop and we're only there for about 5min. My family and I look forward to our weekly treats while shopping. PRO TIP: Make sure you start a stamp card to use for free drinks.

That said, the menu is definitely overpriced, and both taste and service can be a hit or miss depending on the day. One more note: I tried the matcha with coconut milk, and it was a total miss. No matcha flavor at all and just not good.
