Grateful that this coffee shack was open when we drove out to Kahuku today. Not all of the trucks and stands in the area are currently open due to Covid, but we luckily arrived after they had recently opened The gentleman who helped us (I would assume the owner) was wonderful. He created the most amazing sugar-free coconut latte that I have had since arriving on island a year ago. My only complaint is that it's over an hour from my house and can't become a part of my daily routine! read more

This was our first time going to this coffee shop. We are visiting from out-of-state and we're looking for a spot that had coffee/tea options. It's a cute hole-in-the wall shop but the quality was TERRIBLE. I DONT RECOMMEND GOING HERE, UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SICK. I decided to order the hot mango black tea and the guy ringing me up says "oh I haven't made/served tea in a long time." I should've known this was a red flag from the beginning. Fast forward 45 minutes later, I feel gross and nauseous. I ended up throwing up and I know it was that mango black tea because it didn't sit well with me from the start and it tasted gross. I'm guessing it was expired since he stated that "he hasn't made/serve tea in a long time." Although the spot was cute, the quality of product was a D- read more

On a trip to the North Shore, I wanted to stop off at the land of food trucks to try the coffee here. My hubby had heard that this place had really good coffee. OK, let's check it out. When we got there, we were greeted quickly. The cashier was willing to help and ask if we were looking for anything specific. I asked about cold brew, but they didn't have any. Oh, well. I went to my next favorite, iced caramel macchiato. My daughter doesn't do coffee, so she opted for a vanilla shake. My iced caramel macchiato was super sweet. I was kind of shocked. I almost thought it wasn't a coffee drink. The vanilla shake was watery. The prices for the drinks were about the norm ($5-$6), but the quality not too good. I would've had better down the road at Coffee, Tea, & Bean. read more

Where is the " Zero" rating?! As a local I expect a little more... Bought one large espresso coffee but got a $6 chocolate milk instead. I even asked the guy if this had two shots of espresso and he said yes and even tried to upsell me an additional shot of espresso for $1. The reason I asked to begin with is because it did not taste like it had cany coffee in it at all. I gave him the opportunity to correct his error but he did not. The reason I know I ended up with chocolate milk and no espresso is because I get a headache in the late afternoon/evening from caffeine "withdrawal" if I go a day without coffee in the morning. And today I have a splitting headache! A McD's fix for less than $4 resolved my trbl. read more

This was honestly the worst bubble tea I've ever had in my life. I got a watermelon with boba which meant it was 5 bucks. Got one for my friend too, so 10 dollars for pepto bismol water. He uses premade powder, coffee creamer, a few pieces of ice and boba that did nothing in terms of flavor or texture. He saw me take a sip and asked me how it was as I was looking at the NO RETURNS OR REFUNDS sign in the window. Garbage stuff. I would have rather ripped a ten dollar bill in half and drank the dishwater by the benches. The only reason this guy gets business is probably because he's one of (or the only) trucks in the area that takes cards. read more

No clue why there are so many 5 star reviews. I am a coffee snob, hey at least I admit it. This place was run by the owner when we were there. Nice guy, friendly. But it is not espresso, he uses a pod machine for the "espresso" but cold brews for the iced and frappe style drinks. That is his specialty, so if you want a high calorie flavored coffee drink this is your place, if you want a hot cappuccino, latte or espresso go to Island Vintage Coffee in Haleiwa instead where way better real espresso is served! read more

I ordered waialua latte which is one of the signature lattes…read more The guy said it has coconut + chocolate syrup. I ordered that because I love mocha and wanted to try their signature latte. I asked for a coconut milk instead of whole milk. When I picked up my drink I could see the latte looked diluted. I had a sip and it was not good! :( It tasted like a syrup with a little coffee and milk. It has to taste like a latte, but I was so disappointed. I gave a tip and wasted $10 for a latte I had to throw. Got me another (good) coffee nearby coz I need caffeine today.

Beauty outdoor location, lots of seating with umbrella and tree coverage (for rain or sun, it was raining when we went). Haleiwa Latte w Coconut Milk! So Delish!!! Recommend!!!! The sweetest people working. There was a line, but the wait wasn't too long. And they kept their cool, kind demeanor when helping people. Even apologized for the wait which wasn't bad! One person was even holding a cutie pie baby at one point, talk about multi tasking! Ha! Definitely make this a stop for some yummy coffee.

Got a Banzai Banana Latte: loved the foam, and the drink had a strong espresso flavor while still being able to taste the banana bread syrup, without it being too sweet or overpowering!! Matcha was pretty strong and can see them whisking it. You can also customize the matcha with different types of milk and sweeteners. Guava Pitaya Smoothie was good too, tastes very refreshing and could actually taste the pitaya. Would recommend trying out here and prices are reasonable!

Cute ambience. We enjoyed our ice cream outside on their patio and it was perfect…read more Service was excellent. Our server was very patient and helped us with all the samples we wanted to try. The coffee ice cream didn't have enough coffee flavor and the Dubai ice cream wasn't worth the cost. I was a huge fan of the lilikoi cheesecake ice cream and double chocolate.

We stopped by after dinner at Cholos and were disappointed to find that two scoops was the smallest…read moresize available. There were no keiki or single-scoop options. When we asked about getting a single scoop, the staff mentioned it was nearly the same price as a double, so we "might as well" get the double. Unfortunately, after a big dinner, we simply didn't want that much gelato. We then asked if we could split a double into two bowls since we weren't comfortable sharing one bowl, but were told no. I'm sharing this feedback because if smaller portions or keiki sizes were available (we were with a child), we would have happily purchased three orders. Instead, we ended up leaving without ordering anything.

The mixed smoothie #2 is a mix of pineapple, mango and strawberries. Needless to say i really enjoyed the drink. It was fresh, sweet and such an enjoyable experience i finished it in less than 5 minutes ! This place is a little hidden. It's all the way in the back towards all the food trucks in the area but can be seen from the road. They do have seating options for maybe 8 individuals but it's a nice atmosphere. The service was exceptional. Needless to say i will definitely be coming back here.

Located in Kahuku next to Ry's Poke Shack in the SevenBrother Mom's Bakery parking lot area…read more Customer service was amazing. Sugar canes are squeezed fresh on site when you order your drink of choice. I asked for a recommendation on most popular flavor, was told calamansi was a popular choice. If you like more the citrus flavor of orange/tangerine, calamansi is the way to go. For me, not too much unfortunately. At least the cane juice was pungent with flavor and very refreshing. If in the area, definitely recommend giving them a try!

Supposedly the Uncle who was working is a family friend I personally did not know him, but he was really nice and it was nice to see my family catch up with old friends. I ordered the lychee Kane, it was really good. I was debating between this one and the dragon fruit, but I'm so happy I went with the lychee, sugarcane tends to be really sweet, but this one was not so sweet, which is what I enjoyed. This place sit in between the Kahuku shrimp truck and the poke place. There is seating available, but there's only one round table for the sugah daddeh however you can sit at the other tables that are available. Definitely recommend coming here, would not be disappointed. They have so much more to offer than just juice if you're ever in Kahuku, please get a refreshing juice from them!

I can't believe there aren't any reviews here yet!…read more We came here maybe on our second day on the North Shore. I really wanted to find a fresh coconut because I love coconut water (especially fresh). Initially we were just browsing around and looking for cool souvenirs to bring home to our friends and family, but when I saw this place, I knew I had to try it! The guy was super friendly and really helpful. The coconut was enough for two people to share (they're pretty big) and it was filling and hydrating at the same time. He even said that once we were done with the coconut, he would crack it open for us so we could eat the meat. Super awesome! Needless to say that was exactly what we did. Give this place a try! Their menu has more than just coconuts. :) I wish I had tried everything they had on their menu, it would have been hard to choose just one option lol.
