    Holy! Woah! 1000/10!!!! Mango cream matcha latte is sooooo delicious! Oh my goodness! The perfect sweetness!!!!!!! New summer drink! I'll be back

    Matcha Tea
    Seana A.

    We stopped in on our way home from the beach. The staff was friendly and super helpful with their suggestions. I ended up getting the Matcha Tea. It hit the spot after spending the afternoon at the beach. I love the setup and you can forget that they are connected to Foodland. If you want a frozen treat after the beach, I highly recommend you stop here.

    Fave coffee. Forget Starbucks! This is where it's at. Best matcha iced latte add 2 (or 3 depending on the day) shots of espresso. Turkey pesto sandwich or chocolate croissant. The ladies working here are always so fast AND sweet. Never got my order wrong once and they stay busy in the morning.

    Ordered a triple shot vanilla breve.  Nasty! Overly sweet bitter

    So...... first time trying this coffee. Totally dont get the hype!? I watched her make it and I have 3 words for you!!!!!! QUALITY OVER QUANTITY ! Slow the eff down and do it right. Taste like way overly sweet! And bitter! I asked at the register for it to be hot. The barista was givin a HOT cup. She then asked me if I wanted the milk cold or steamed hot..... ummm ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

    This place offers a huge variety of items as you can see to go along with morning drink from latte to ice coffee and sandwiches and cookies very friendly service and clean shop check it out

    Treat yourself to a refreshing coffee drink and cheerful service at this CBTL location in the Kailua Foodland. Check IG or sign up for their emails to get special offers on Monday, Thursday, or special occasions and holidays. Those concerned with sugar levels may request lighter or no added sweetening and no whipped cream.

    2/3rds cup of light ice. Horrible!  More ice then drink.
    Calvin J.

    How many of you have asked for light ice and gotten 2/3rds cup of ice? C'mon workers, you can do better than this! From now on, no tip until I get my drink right. If I wanted shave ice, I would've gone down the road to Island Snow.

    Using a gift card in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii... Staying home during this quarantine period has resulted in some benefits. For example, I had time to go through my piles of mail and I found a gift card from my friend, Craig Y. LOL! Belated thank you, Craig! So, before I lose it or forget about it, I took my gift card to the nearest The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf which is in Kailua. I read reviews which informed me that this shop is located inside of Foodland (next to Big City Diner) - to the immediate left of the entrance. I had been to The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Los Angeles because they were having a special $3 blended drink. Lyla encouraged me to get the app which I used there. I thought that I could use the app here in Kailua. However, this store doesn't participate in that program. Instead, I was offered a stamp card. Also, the $3 blended drink is only available on Thursdays. Hmmm... I didn't read that in the email... So - I ordered a Blood Orange Brew Tea and an Avocado Toast. I really liked both items! The tea was fruity and not too sweet! I didn't think that I would like the sprouts on the Avocado Toast, but they worked! It was a yummy lunch! Maybe I'll try a different location that participates with the app. Or - maybe I'll return and just use the stamp card...because it expires on 12.31.20... Thanks again, Craig, for getting me to try a different place - and for the fun foodie adventure!

    Peach jasmine cold brew tea
    Raeann Y.

    As much as I love Starbucks, my other love is The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. My two favorite drinks are the peach jasmine cold brew tea and the mocha ice blended, add extra shot of espresso. I don't get coffee or tea drinks very often, maybe once every two weeks, so when I do it better be good! Lol. The Kailua location is great and the workers are very nice. Drinks are constantly good.

    Clean iced latte
    Tyler H.

    Had an early start out in Kailua this morning and had to kill time. Was happy to see the Kailua store was near by and decided to start my day with coffee here, since a morning without coffee is a terrible idea! The store was super clean, the staff was nice and attentive, and I was very impressed overall. A long time ago I had the opportunity to work at several locations, so I understand the complexity of running the shop, especially after the morning rush. The some of the ones in town have a lot to learn from this store. Kudos to this store, their staff, and their management. They are a model store, and truly exemplified the values of the Sullivan family

    Hazelnut iced coffee
    Lurine J.

    Aweosme little treat! I landed on the hazelnut iced coffee and it was really good the young ladies behind the counter were super funny and made our drinks quick! Normally in the morning when you think of coffee it's either Starbucks or perhaps morning crew which is a little further down the way my husband decided to turn to YELP!! Per usual we were steered RIGHT! Will definitely be back!

    Salmon bagel
    Emma N.

    I appreciate their quick service and so far the coffees here are good. But the salmon bagel is a disappointment. The bagel is big, but the amount of salmon is meager, and both the salmon & cream cheese cover only a small part of the bagel. We got the herbed veggie & egg white wrap as well, which is a lot better.

SERVICE: fast n' friendly INTERIOR: limited indoor seating, but it's all about the outdoor views.

In the same plaza as Long's n' Safeway. WAIT TIME: under 5 mins to place order, another 5 mins to receiving drinks PARKING: free lot OVERALL COMMENTS: got myself the banana bread latte that wasn't so much banana-y.

I'm not a cold brew person, but the macnut flavored cold brew along with the coconut flavored cold foam had no traces of bitterness n' gave a nice sweetness.

When I was heading out I made the mistake of asking the girl with the short blonde hair where the bathroom was and she's like oh to the left of the blue umbrellas... and I'm like ok... I go outside and don't see blue umbrellas, and then I finally find the bathroom which is literally right across from island brew, (that's all she had to say) and there are 2 people outside, so I ask them if they are waiting and one is... an island brew worker passes me and she has a key in her hand, so I'm like oh is that a key for the bathroom? And she's like, it's a ? key as she walks away from me, but I couldn't really hear whatever she said so I follow her down the hall to ask her what she said and she just goes in the bathroom and slams the door, which is when I realize it was probably an employee bathroom and there is a code for the other "public" door and the first girl didn't even tell it to me, the other worker didn't either... oh yeah and it's a one person bathroom FYI -- I've been here before and love love love this totally unassuming spot, there is a Safeway and longs drugs, just a big open lot then this Island Brew which is like an oasis, but never used the bathroom before... I guess now I know. I don't think I'll be back any time soon though...

The entrance of the shop is framed by plants and cozy patio seating, and when you enter the cafe itself, it has a minimalist, modern wood interior. There are some chairs/benches inside the shop for seating, and you can also enjoy your drink outside, which is a little oasis in itself with music playing in the background to create a peaceful atmosphere. The staff members are all very helpful and polite, and happy to explain if you have any questions about the menu! In terms of the menu selection, I haven't quite found my favorite drink yet. I've ordered the matcha latte, cloud spice matcha, the raspberry/matcha croissant, and basque cheesecake slices, all of which were okay. The prices are a bit on the steeper side for the portion size, and I personally prefer the matcha I've found at other cafes (e.g. Ohana Hui, Daily Whisk), but I could be mistaken as I haven't tried their ceremonial grade matcha. I also haven't tried the pourover coffee, which is another key feature of their menu. In general, I love coming here whenever I want to relax and settle down to enjoy a book with a drink in hand. I'd recommend stopping by if you haven't tried Ando before!
