Ube Matcha x Strawberry Matcha
Kyllie N.

Super vibey & aesthetic cafe! Drinks take around 5-10 minutes depending on how busy it is. Tried the ube matcha & strawberry matcha & they were just fine. The matcha wasn't so present. Looks super cute in pictures though! Not sure if I'll be back again to try a matcha, but would try other menu items in the future.

Two iced cold brews...one with milk and one with 1/2 and 1/2

Cute little coffee shop in downtown Honolulu's restaurant row. Here with Mark y. Killing time. Decided to get a coffee. I am not a fan of ridiculous dessert-like coffee concoctions...that's not coffee! We ordered iced cold brews. The girl at the counter sweetly informed us that if we wanted anything but black we needed to let them know because they seal the coffees. Had no clue what that meant ...but ok. I had milk in mine. The coffees were indeed sealed with a pop top. Cute presentation. And the coffee was darn good!

Caprese Toast - Sliced fresh mozzarella and tomatoes over avocado toast, with fresh basil leaves and topped with a balsamic drizzle.

I wanted to update my review of The Porch because I may have been a bit harsh describing the steak sandwich. I went back today and was really impressed! I have to say that everything they serve is made from only the freshest ingredients. And of course the beverages are amazing and the service is super friendly. This time I tried the Caprese Toast and it was excellent. It's a fusion of avocado toast and a Caprese salad - the Italian specialty from the Island of Capri, composed of fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and olive oil. Instead of olive oil, The Porch uses a generous drizzle of tasty balsamic glaze, and it sits atop a fresh avocado mash on wonderful sourdough bread. It totally works! And of course the presentation is an art form. Their clientele are a young mix of mostly college students and some medical professionals adorned in scrubs. Everyone is snapping pics of their food for the gram so it has to look perfect. The one thing that perplexes me, though, is the way they serve their iced coffee creations in durable clear plastic containers with soda can tops. It looks tres chic but seems wasteful.

The Porch - 5 Stars Now this was unexpected. I came to Restaurant Row to eat at Tempura Man after seeing a post about it, but I couldn't find it. I guess they may have gone out of business. While looking around, I stumbled upon The Porch. It looked good and seemed popular, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Turkey Pesto Sandwich, and boy was I surprised. This wasn't the thin, pre-sliced turkey you get at the grocery store. It was made with thick slices of turkey breast, fresh tomatoes, and spinach, all served on a buttery croissant bun. On the side was a fresh spinach salad topped with tomatoes. This place is a cute hole-in-the-wall gem. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the sandwich was packed with flavor. They have a cozy couch you can relax on while eating, along with a few small tables. It's not a big place and probably isn't ideal for large groups, but it's perfect for a casual lunch or quick bite. Serve was good. If you're looking for a fresh and tasty sandwich, this is definitely a must-try spot. Happy eating!

Watermelon  Juice

A popular little spot at Restaurant Row. I met here for a business luncheon. This is an area surrounded by HPU students but it was actually quite a nice spot to sit outside at one of the tables and enjoy a chat and food from The Porch Honolulu. They have an array of juices, teas and coffee choices that they mix into these plastic bottles that they assemble soda caps onto. It's quite cute. The drinks can come out in really pretty layers, very colorful. Sandwiches, breakfast or lunch options, all sounded pretty good. From about $6 to $14 or so. Everyone working there seemed excited to answer questions and point out the variety, since what they have to offer is fun, some including ube, etc.

The cutest coffee, freshly made, then plastic canned, awesomeness
Roberta B.

First time for me, I got a coffee and a smoothie. The salads look divine, but a lil pricey for the size. My lavender latte freshly made then put into a cute plastic "can top" cup. Staff super courteous. Loved it

Steve P.

This was a great spot to get a cool refreshing drink on a warm day. The staff are very friendly and the area is well kept. There is plenty of outdoor seating in the shaded open breezes. I had the açaí smoothie. Very flavorful, this really hit the spot. This is also an interesting location for people watching and just meeting others.

Island Bowl.. been that girl, still that girl
Jazmenn B.

The Island Bowl.. been that girl, still that girl Staff are so sweet here and even though it's busy around lunch time they are pretty fast with service. p.s. let them know if you are a student for the student discount.

Banana Milk Matcha & Strawberry Matcha
Jenna R.

I love coming here whenever I am at the Waterfront Plaza. Parking is located in the structure and they validate your parking with a $10+ purchase. Staff is extremely friendly. I was told that the owner, Sharon, is also the sweetest. They give a 10% discount for any HPU student with proof of identification. I come here for their savory drinks, especially their seasonal specials. If I need energy, I order a kicker. There's ample seating outside of Porch and at the Waterfront in general. I haven't tried their food but I recommend their drinks and would definitely come in again.

Menu (10/2025)
Catherine W.

Love this Breakfast spot! I like their simple menu with some solid classic breakfast items. We ordered turkey pesto and sunrise eggcado. When I opened the boxes I said to myself "wow the ingredients look really fresh!". There were no overpowering seasonings or gravy so you can really taste the food. The portion was smaller than I thought but I was really happy with the quality of the food. And the price was quite reasonable. Sevice was quick. There are many benches outside so you can just relax and enjoy your breakfast. And there are many students there studying or discussing about their projects. Just great vibe there!

Vietnamese Iced Coffee Butterfly Pea Lemonade Latte
Mika ..

Drinks were great I loved my vietnamese coffee with cold foam on top. I ordered online 10 min prior and my drinks were ready as soon as I got there! Definitely coming back, I loved the uniqueness of the cups and being able to open it when you'd like. Store is super cute for sure, outdoor seating too!

Farmers Market smoothie
Eri K.

The Porch has been on my bookmarks list for a while and I finally was able to try it as we were in the area. It is a cute cafe in Ward Village nearby the office buildings. We went during a weekday afternoon and so there were lots of students and medical professionals as Straub is nearby and HPU as well as a surgical center (appears to be private practice?). Parking: structured parking, paid. They do validate but they have a minimum purchase of $10 Service: fast, efficient, friendly. Ambience: Tables and chairs are available outside (not inside) and therefore is not covered so if it's raining, you can get wet. The establishment itself is small and clean. Food: I cannot comment on the food as I did not opt to purchase food at this time, but the drink I had was the farmers market smoothie (~$9), which had kale, banana, apple juice, etc. It was fresh and just what I wanted. Tip: Public restrooms are located inside the parking structure close by. You may need to press the button/buzzer to obtain entrance inside as the door can get locked.

Hojicha latte!
Romyn S.

The Hojicha latte was so GOOD!! I would come again to get this and to try the other drinks. It's cute how they put their drink in a soda can type of top so you can take it to go and then open it when you're ready. I was like this would be great for parties and gatherings. And if you have extras then it'll stay good for a bit. Atmosphere - Cute, it's in the Row Kaka'ako and there's seating everywhere outside so you can just sit there. The place itself does not have seating inside as you walk in and it's their items and service counter and such. It's cute and brightly colored. Service - Great, they were friendly and I didn't see the hojicha latte on their current menu but saw it online so inquired and they answered my questions and said they could make it! Cost - $7 - 8 Parking - You can get validation if you spend over $10. If not then it's around $3 for every 30 minutes or something like that. Location - Row Kaka'ako near the waterfront. Never been here before and other cool restaurants like Aloha Mamacita. I would definitely try their other drinks because they have matcha ones and I wanted to try the ube matcha, mango matcha and strawberry matcha!

A cozy corner in the heart of Kaimuki :)…read more I happened to find this place when I was searching for cafes around the area, and it did not disappoint. Honey Matcha Latte is my current favorite: just the right balance of matcha, milk and honey :) The vibes are so nice. You'll be greeted by the green green plants (which are actually for sale!), and then grab a drink down the hall. I also like how they have a "Sip & Chill Zone" where no ipads or computer work are allowed, so you can just relax and talk story. This is my favorite spot because I can just do some people watching by the window as I sip my matcha latte. It's a nice place to detach from the hustle even just for a while.

All the seating was very close so it was distracting to hear sooo many conversations and different volume levels.

Hello Again - Banana bread matcha latte

Hello Again is a cute little spot in Chinatown that's perfect for a quick matcha pick-me-up,…read morewhether you need to get some work done or just relax after strolling the neighborhood. They have small tables and cubicle-style setups with charging ports, so it's easy to settle in, sip, and work if you want. I came mainly to unwind and try a few of their matcha drinks. The banana bread latte is one I personally like, and the haupia matcha has a nice coconut kick. The ube matcha latte was just okay--the matcha overpowered the ube and the flavor kind of drifted. Not sure if the powder was a bit heavy that day or if the water temperature played a role, but I wouldn't order that one again. There are still other flavors I haven't tried, plus milk alternatives like oat milk available. A fun touch is the cameras they place on the tables so you can snap photos of your drink, yourself, friends, or whatever. Just know they may post some of the pics on their social media from time to time--it's a cute way to bring the community together. Hours are short, so check their socials before heading over. Overall, I love the aesthetic of the café and the matcha is decent for a quick fix. I'd definitely come back.

I love the vibes from this place, vibrant colors and very much sun-kissed energy. I see this business is marked as temp closed -- it is very much open lol.

Super late review -…read more I'm sad. I really wanted to love this place but I just couldn't. I don't want to be that person when this place has an overall rating of 4.5 but this is just my honest opinion. I got the blue dream and yes it was very ascetically pleasing, but it was just too icy. Before coming to this place i read a couple of reviews that also said the same thing and i didn't understand what that meant, but now I do. There are a lot of flavorless, just regular, small shards of ice in the bowl. On top of that, the moment I received my bowl, it was already borderline melted. So that got me thinking, how can it be melted and icy at the same time? The only explanation that I can think of is just ice additive/fillers. It's not pure cold acai or whatever is in the bowl you choose, but there's a mixture of ice in it too. Yes I understand, it's Waikiki, everything is more expensive, but the added topping prices on top of the already expensive bowl prices just don't make sense. You want a beautiful looking bowl with a lot of different toppings, yet some toppings can go up to 1 dollar PER topping. I don't know if I've just been spoiled by a couple places in SoCal, but at those places they have unlimited toppings and those bowls are the best that there is. I'm not bringing any bias from other locations, but this is just an honest review based on my experience today.
