This cafe is best to enter through the lobby (if you're not a guest there) The staff is nice and at 7am, there's not really a line so I would suggest going early. They have your usual selection of drinks and definitely a little pricier than Starbucks but I think it's convenient if you're staying at any of the hotels at the KoOlina Bay. The main thing to note about this cafe is the ambiance. 10/10 views and it's so relaxing and calming just sitting on the chairs that overlook the ocean.

Ambiance is great as it is in Four Seasons.

Parking is a little tight because of the other business happening. Their food is great n close to home cooked style. I had the bento n it was good.

The girl who served us had great customer service and very polite and friendly. Now we will come back knowing it's a great place to eat

I did enjoy my pancake flights. It's something I would order again. I didn't really enjoy my bagel and lox. It needed a little bit more seasoning for my taste. I will maybe come back again.

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.

Also, like every other Teapreaso location nowadays, they have a surcharge for paying with a credit card. We won't be back.

It's great to see their cups are being filled with business. Soon as I walked in I was greeted & was helped immediately. The lady who took my order was very pleasant and greeted me with a smile. For myself I ordered an iced white chocolate mocha large. Came with 4 shots of espresso and choice of milk. I got it with heavy cream. Let me say it was made perfect! A little sweet but not overly sweet. Great balance of the espresso and sweetness. I'll definitely order this again. Cute little coffee shop. I noticed there were a few table games to play inside while you wait or enjoy your drink/food. There's outdoor seating and on street parking. Other parking stalls are located on the side of the swimming pool marked. "Local Joe." In hunt for a new coffee spot? Stop by Local Joes in Ho'opili & Support local.

I like how you can pick three toppings for one price, and there are many varieties including my favorite grass jelly. Plus you can see the toppings near the counter. I also like how the tea wasn't excessively sweet or had a lot of ice. The drink was really refreshing and tasty. Probably the thing I liked the most was all the traditional Asian snacks at reasonable prices for purchase. Staff was friendly too. This is my new go to boba place in Kapolei.

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. They have a little shopping area with snacks if you need something to go with your drink.

Getting there took us some time- A) my husband and I were driving from the Aiea area to Ewa Beach... on a Friday afternoon, and B) parking was a pain, but we were able to find street parking pretty quickly. We knew what we were getting into before our drive, and I'm so glad we did because it was well worth the trip! The ice cream shop is fairly small- can't hold a lot of people and no seating inside, but there's plenty of tables outside, and the weather outside was just perfect with some sun and a breeze! The line moves quickly, so ordering isn't a pain at all! I ordered their calamansi dreamsicle and my husband got their root beer float, and both were 10/10! I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could've tried more of their flavors (like their strawberry guava one)! First off, the calamansi dreamsicle was really refreshing and creamy; it had hints of citrus, with a lemon/orange taste, perfect for a warm summer afternoon! My husband had the root beer float, which had their house-made vanilla ice cream and root beer from Maui Brewing Company (I didn't even know they made root beer)! It was delicious as well- I loved that I was able to see little black specks of vanilla bean in the ice cream, and the root beer had hints of honey in it! My husband and I knew the root beer tasted different (in a good way), but couldn't put our finger on it until I read the ingredients and saw that honey was one of them! Super yummy!! All in all, my husband and I agreed that we'll be coming back again to try different flavors!

Small inside...but there are tables outside the storefront. They offer beverages: lattes and such. But I was here for Sage's ice cream. A single scoop is $6; double is $9; a pint is $14. Got a single scoop of one of their signature flavors, Kaua'i Kulolo. Fantastic with bits of kulolo imbeded in each sweet and creamy scoop. Hours are from 12 noon till 800p, from Wednesday thru Friday. Weekends they operate from 800a to 800p. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

There were a few tables with chairs for customers to hang out. I decided to use my completed Stamp Card on a Roasted Veggie Power Bowl... and also ordered an ice blended drink since a regular size was just $4. I asked for soy milk which was a 99 cents upcharge. I took my bowl to the pick-up end of the counter and waited... A matcha-looking drink appeared, so I grabbed it. As I was taking a photo, a man said that was his drink. Really? He arrived after me. Oh, well... I went back to the pick-up area and one of the gals started making my Cookies and Cream matcha ice blended... with whipped cream and crumbs on the top... with a domed cover! Ohhh... it looks fancier than that man's matcha drink... I guess I won't be ordering it again because the "Cookies", even though they're grounded up, are distracting to drink. I felt like I needed to chew them... haha! And the Roasted Veggie bowl was a bit spicy in a peppery way... Thanks for the free bowl!
