    Shitty ube coconut latte
    N M.

    This location sucks, I swore I wasn't coming back here after an incident last year. But alas, I was desperate and wanted an ube coconut latte. What they gave me was an iced coffee with ube extract and coconut essence. Tell me why it looks like a black coffee with ube extract inside? I should've just gotten my money back and wrote it off as I won't be getting the drink I ordered in the exact way I ordered it. Ube coconut latte with coconut milk and protein. Simple? Apparently not. This location seems to have a high turn over with employees probably because they suck at making drinks.

    Friendly smiling Aloha way to greet customers. Last Sunday the customer servers counter girl didn't smile looked emotionless nothing was said, no greeting! What a way to handle clientele's like this! It's my favorite place to go whenever we're at the AlaMoana largest food court! I've been there few times but i think I'll go buy coffee or tea elsewhere if it continues to this uncomfortable service I've had! It's too bad the server was unhappy with her job! I hope she'll continue to outgrow her non smiling face to greet all with a smile!

    Storefront... between Cinnabon and aja bento
    Nadine C.

    Refreshing beverage at Ala Moana Center, Makai Market Food Court, in Honolulu, Hawaii... I guess I never really noticed this location of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. It's on the ground level - between Cinnabon and aja bento on the Waikiki end of the building. My friends alerted me to the Thursday special. Currently, until the end of June 2025, ice blended or pure ice blended drinks are $4 for regular size and $5 for large. I looked at Instagram and saw the Ube ice blended affogato... hmmm... looks good... let's try it! I wondered if my Loyalty Card that expired 12.31.20 would be accepted... yes! Woot woot! Thank you for my free drink! I liked it! I'll be back with my other Loyalty cards! Note: This is a great location because of the free covered parking and the shared seating area - we stayed and chatted for a few hours!

    An Ube Coconut Cream Matcha Latte
    Jill F.

    @fortunefoodfinds: "Gurl I've got some TEA! An Ube Coconut Cream Matcha Latte from THE COFFEE BEAN & TEA LEAF. I always get one of their matcha drinks, so when I saw the new seasonal ube beverages I just had to try it, n' it's a hit!" Staff: friendly Interior: small, just for ordering Exterior: easy to find as it faces the parking garage Wait time: 5-10 mins Parking: garage Overall comments: I come back again n' again for their Honey n' Nut Iced Matcha latte (also their ice is perfection in size), so I was excited to switch it up n' loved the ube. Their matcha is on the sweeter side n' the ube you can taste it but it wasn't overpowering. Make sure to check out their deals. On this day they were giving double stamps, so I was able to fill up a stamp card n' will redeem my free drink on my next visit!

    Walked in right before 9am at this location in the Ala Moana food court and was able to order right away. Received my ube matcha couple minutes later. Great service and yummy drink!!!

    Iced Black tea with strawberry

    Went during a really busy time. There was an expected wait to order and to get the drinks. I really like the ice they used and the tea was good.

    I always buy my matcha powder here! It's not on display but you can ask them to prepare a pack for you.

    We spotted this coffee shop after eating our lunch. We decided to give this place a try. Small coffee shop located in the Ala Moana food court. My boyfriend ordered the iced Vietnamese coffee and I decided to order a drink from their barista favorites list. I got an iced Haupia latte. We both thought our drinks were on the sweet side but overall we still enjoyed them.

    The specials posted on their Instagram site are the bomb! This month they have blended drinks on specials every Thursday. The specials change from time to time so you need to check their IG site to confirm. I had a pure ice midnight mocha cookies and cream. That's a mouthful but let me give you a full yelping of how good it was! This drink was tasty! It was smooth, just sweet enough but not too sweet, and refreshing! Sometimes I don't end up finishing a blended drink because it melts, but this was so good it didn't have time to melt at all. The location was convenient, but it gets busy. There was a water spill in front of the pickup area and the person in front of me told the worker. She told him that he knew, but they were too busy to clean it up. The workers here are efficient, but so far the two workers that I have ordered from haven't been the most friendly. Too busy for pleasantries, which is fine because they are serving up tasty beverages.

    Regular burnt caramel cold brew
    Maritess C.

    Hidden towards the back. Hubby, my friend and I stumbled upon this place and decided to get drinks. I decided to order the regular burnt caramel cold brew. I got it with almond milk rather than regular milk. This was delicious. Not as strong as I thought it would be but rather on the sweeter side. There was more ice in my drink than the drink itself. Overall pretty descent.. There were two entrances. One in the food court and another toward the parking lot. I guess they had a special drink for today and every day. My hubby and friend got the same drink. I think it was some cookie crumble flavor. Anyway, I also received a stamp card just in case I stop by here for a drink. This was also located inside the food court. Kind of in the corner towards the back you will see the sign.

    Got my $3 Monday Special Plantation ice tea & a Lilikoi cornbread
    Sharlene C.

    Love going to Foodland Ala Moana for groceries, fresh poke bowls, vinegar & salt chicken wings, etc. Can't say enough how convenient shopping here for breakfast lunch & dinner is for picking up your ingredients or picking up ready made meals. There is a HI Steak counter for steaks & garlic shrimp plates. Hot & Cold to go foods like salads, musubis, assorted bentos, etc. Sushi platters. Fruit Platters. Sandwich wrap platters. Party platters. Fresh Poke Counter. Assorted musubi Shelf. And Pastries from cookies to pies, cakes, donuts. Bread. And so on and so on... My one Stop Shop. Plus I got my Monday special $3 Plantation ice tea at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in Foidland

    This CBTL is located inside the Foodland Farm, within the Ala Moana Mall. It's easy to find from the entrance as it's in the corner near the Foodland checkout. I love CBTL and I wish the other coffee joints could be replaced with them. Love the coffee, the teas, the foods, the goods, the deals... love it all! Too bad not all of the Foodland stores have one...

    Still have friendly staff. I checked the website. They are still open after 7 pm. It is inside Foodland Farms Ala Moana. The eating area is now open so people are eating their purchases from the various vendors. I ordered the cookies and cream monday instagram special for $3.00. No caffine and not too sweet. It's refreshing. I can watch the parking lot outside the window. I am glad they are open later than the other locations.

    Yum!

    Well, this may not be a fancy pastry shop, they have a solid assortment of pastries, and their…read moreMalasadas are some of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend stopping in and grabbing their coconut peanut butter or macadamia nut peanut butter. They also have several other variations, including chocolate. They also offer local honey. Their peanut butter is highly sought after back in the states. So if you're here grab a combo and give it a try, you just might find yourself ordering some online once you've given it a try.

This might be one of the only places in Waikiki open at 4 AM which is perfect if you've just arrived the night before from the East Coast. The inside of the shop feels homey. They have a display case full of pastries along with additional baked goods set out nearby. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a coconut latte and then ordered a blueberry malasada while my father went with a custard-filled one. At Maleko, the malasadas are pre-made but not filled until you order which I think is a smart move. I first tried my blueberry malasada and thought it was good. The dough was light and fluffy and the filling had a great flavor. As for my coffee, I have to agree with other reviews that the syrup made it overly sweet. I still drank it, but I definitely would have preferred something less sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again for the malasadas. As for the coffee, I would probably pass unless you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side.
