    Grande size hot caramel macchiato made with local coffee beans for $5 and some change.
    Jaelyse R.

    Drink cost & quality: got a hot caramel macchiato--strong coffee and not too sweet. (For reference, I find McDonalds latte type drinks are WAY too sweet, and a Starbucks white mocha too sweet.) $5.xx for what looks like a grande size. That's a steal, especially considering what I pay for one drink at 'bucks, and they use their own locally grown coffee beans. I'll be back. Parking: Free parking in a large open air lot. Location: Across the railroad tracks (Kalaeloa side, not Campbell Industrial side) behind Costco Kapolei and the courthouse, at the VA Center. Getting to the cafe: Adding pics if going to new places makes you nervous, like me. Enter through the automatic doors under the big "VA" sign by the roundabout and hit the hallway that heads left. Once you're inside, you should see A-frame Cafe signage so you know you're heading in the right direction. There are attendants by the entrance if you need to ask where to go. And NO, you do not need a military ID to get in. Seating: the cafe itself doesn't have seating but it looks like there is some outdoor space with tables and chairs, if you aren't already there for an appointment at the clinic.

    Skeptical to try this place at first, but was in the area so I figured it couldn't hurt to try. They have an awesome menu with local flavors and seasonal specials. I got the chocolate haupia cold brew and the ube and strawberry matchas for my doctors office. The cold brew was delish and cold brew smooth. The prices are nice too and comparable to other coffee shops. Definitely worth a try and I will definitely come back. Service was excellent as well as a previous writer had said something about it but the girls were very friendly and quick with my order. They also have online ordering. This is also a local and veteran owned business so even more reason to check them out!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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!
