Coconut cloud matcha
Anhvy T.

Recently went again and tried the coconut cloud matcha, it is now prepared in a squeeze bottle rather than hand whisked on the spot. It is also $9 now too which is too expensive for it. Taste is not worth the price tag! I get supporting local but they charge prices on par which actual cafes that have seating...

Very cute little shack that sells amazing coffee - and I wish we have this in LA. We got the vanilla bean and brown sugar latte, coconut cloud cold brew, and a matcha latte. Everything was so good we wish we had more of our drinks cause we finished it so fast. I love how their coffee is strong but it's so smooth!! Wish I could have this everyday. Friendly staff, fast service, and they even have some seating next to their store. I love how cute this place is.

Menu

This was my favorite coffee spot while visiting Oahu! The menu offers a variety of different drinks, including a variety of options for black coffee, lattes, matcha, teas, and lemonade. Every time I visited, I'd get a pour over and was super happy with my drink. My husband is more picky with his coffee and even he said that this was some of the best coffee he's had. So if you're thinking about coming here, this is your sign! The store is moreso a stand if anything, but it is super cute and aesthetic. The service here has always been friendly and the barista went out of her way to make conversation with us (positive points too that she's also a California native like us). This spot shares the same parking lot with Ono so be prepared for a struggle finding parking and tight spots.

Cute coffee/matcha hut that's tucked away near Leonard's. Really friendly barista when my partner and I came in the morning. Great vibes from her that further elevated our visit, on top of the delicious drinks! We got the coconut cloud matcha and the coconut cloud coldbrew. The matcha was really balanced and the cold brew was not bitter at all, both paired well with the coconut cloud topping. Cozy sitting area and a couple of parking spots available too.

Organic Pumpkin Spice Latte ($6.75)

Continuing our coffee hunt, we trekked to Kapahulu to visit this cute cart located within a parking lot attached to a walk up apartment complex. Its a nice cool morning, so perfect for some coffee! Americano ($4.00) - nice temperature, not bitter Organic Pumpkin Spice Latte ($6.75) - cozy and autumny Locally made (Big Time Bagels) plain bagell with roasted garlic and herb cream cheese ($8.00) - seriously worth every cent! When we first arrived there was just one other customer, but as we sat in their little dining area and enjoyed our bagel, at least 20 people had ordered and departed with their drinks and baked items. Service is friendly and rather quick considering its a crew of two.

My amazing husband made it a point to research different coffee shops on Yelp so we could try a new one each day of our trip. Better Daze was our choice for our final morning. We made the walk over from our hotel and had a great walk, it's a bit out of the way, but totally worth going to. It's a little coffee cart that you might miss if you're not looking for it and it's next to a plaza with parking available. I ordered the Iced Rose Latte ($7.75) and my husband ordered the Cloud Chai ($8). The staff members warned my husband that they make their chai with a good amount of spice, and some customers aren't fans of it, but this made him even more excited. My rose latte was delicious and had decorative rose petals on top. The rose flavor wasn't overpowering and the coffee was great. My husband LOVED his Cloud Chai so much (I didn't even get a sip!) and he ended up buying a second drink right away so he could try more of their menu. His second drink was the Soul Chai with honey ($7.75) and he liked this one as well, but says the Cloud Chai is the one he'd order any time we get the chance to visit again. He even says it makes his top five chai that he's ever had. This is a small coffee cart/kiosk and there's only two people working but you can tell they put a lot of heart into their drinks.

Iced honey chai.

These cute little coffee truck was a great stop post workout. The baristas were friendly and the drinks came out very quickly. In the morning the other shops around it are closed so there was parking available which was nice. We got an iced honey chai with almond milk. The chai was flavorful. It was a bit in the ginger side, which I enjoyed but something to be aware of. The honey cinnamon latte with almond milk was also delicious. Prices are reasonable. The overall experience was very present and I would go back!

12 oz chai that's short 3-4 oz.

I wanted to give this place another try, but today I ordered a 12 oz chai and noticed it felt a little light. Weird, but whatever ... after walking for a few mins I opened the lid and see it's super short filled. I'm not sure why someone would serve that. I could've just gotten an 8 oz. The chai is great and the service is nice enough, but I rarely buy coffee/tea out because I make it at home so it's gotta be worth it for me to revisit a coffee shop. This was my second time having a not so great experience here so I probably won't come back.

One of the best coffee shops on the island. A nice 15 min walk from central Waikiki for a great cup of latte every morning during my week-long stay was so worth it. Coffee tasted soo good! I'm a simple girl who got an iced latte with no sweetener but I can tell from the first sip it was gonna be great! The ladies behind the counter is super kind and friendly. Highly recommend!

Coconut Cloud Matcha Latte with oat milk
Jasmine J.

Very unexpected but I actually enjoyed the matcha here! One of my girlfriends makes the long walk here every morning to get a Coconut Cloud Matcha Latte and I couldn't understand the hype. I know there's always a bunch of people in front of this little shack stand ordering coffee or teas. But my girlfriend used to frequent Ars or Daily Whisk and raved about their matcha, but I was pretty disappointed every time I went to either café. I poo-pood this place until recently when I went to Pai Cafe to compare their matcha to the Coconut Cloud Matcha here - wow..the matcha they use at Better Daze tastes significantly better. The coconut foam taste is a nice added layering flavor. I've had so much matcha recently, but I think this one stood out in a good way. Probably up there with the ones I had at Cooke St and Cha to Zen. Still on the hunt for the perfect matcha on island!

ORDER coconut cloud matcha (3/5) overall, this drink was yummy. not too sweet and the coconut cream was good. however, for a matcha it was lacking. it doesn't really taste like matcha... but it was good. SERVICE quick and friendly AMBIANCE very small parking lot

Cloud latte
Arabella N.

I loved the matcha here at this little coffee hut! I got their coconut cloud matcha and it was delicious i finished this way too quickly! The girls at this spot are very friendly and even offered me a sticker on the house as a congratulations for my engagement :) this is in a corner of a parking lot so have fun finding parking if it's busy otherwise great walking location!

The matcha is very standard and delicious. A little on the pricier side, but they have quite a few different options for coffee and matcha. Quick service and friendly staff. Small parking lot out front. A small amount of seating.

We have found many staple items that fit her dietary needs. I also like purchasing meats from here because I know they are fresh and the animals are humanely treated. The meat stays red for much longer and does not spoil. While prices can be high, it is what she needs. Being an Amazon prime member also helps with their special deals. Just scan your barcode from the Amazon app when checking out. This location is always busy with lines going into the aisles. The new self checkout helps ease this because often times people are only grabbing a handful of items. Note that this location is also an Amazon return location located at the front of the store by the exit. Ample parking in kahala mall as well.

I got here and parked right outside at just about 7, and the lights were dimmed and the door was closed and locked. There was no sign on the door about any sort of emergency closure or anything for the day, and in fact there was a young employee who was still in there and I know he saw me and he quickly scurried into the back probably to not have to reopen and help me out. I even called the store directly while I was standing outside to see if he'd answer the phone and he just let it ring. I get it Google store hours can sometimes be wrong due to lack of update but even the physical store hour sign says 8pm. And it's not like I showed up 5 minutes before closed, I was there a whole hour before posted closing. It was a waste of my time and gas money to have to deal with this, and I just want the owner of this shop to be aware of employees potentially taking advantage by closing up shop before they should. I was looking to spend about $150 this trip and that's a sale that just doesn't happen when employees don't open the door for customers despite the posted hours.

After a long day of travel, I picked up an Amazon package here then stayed specifically to use the cafe/bar outlets to charge my dead phone so I could safely navigate the 50 minute walk back to my hotel. Every single outlet in the cafe and bar area is broken. When I asked for help, a team member named John was kind enough to charge my phone behind the counter but noted he couldn't be responsible for it. Because I was in visible physical distress and struggling to stand still due to POTS, I sat on the floor nearby to stay with my property while it charged. A supervisor named Taylor approached me and immediately escalated the situation. Instead of showing an ounce of empathy for a customer who was clearly disabled, she told me I "couldn't sit on the floor." When I asked if I could stand instead, she remained hostile and dismissive. She then claimed I couldn't use the outlets because they were "connected to the registers" and that plugging in a phone could lead to "hacking." As someone with a Master's in STEM and a career in IT, I can tell you that is technically impossible and an embarrassing, tech-illiterate excuse to use to mask poor facility maintenance. Taylor's behavior was unprofessional and frankly, a massive power-trip. If you need a functioning outlet or basic human decency in a multi-million dollar flagship store, go somewhere else. Taylor clearly values "store optics" over the actual safety and well-being of her customers.

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.
