    Ube latte
    Can D.

    The iced ube latte was hands down the best ube latte I've ever had--and yes, I've tried plenty in California. My husband loved the Very Verde, and the kids were all about the Almond Dream. Huge thanks to our barista, Carole, for making our first visit so memorable. Also loved the vibe--lots of medical students studying, which says a lot about the café!

    Matcha latte with soy milk
    Rebecca L.

    Cute little cafe on Kapiolani located next to Doraku. General coffee/espresso options with a few specialties, açaí, smoothies, matcha and hojicha, and a couple small food items. I just had an iced matcha late with soy milk and it was pretty good. Their milk options when I went was whole milk, soy, and almond. The matcha was tasty but it was a little more nutty than usual. I think I saw hazelnut syrup get added as a sweetener. The late was made pretty quick and there is some parking in the back that is shared with doraku and chef chai. There is also free internet shared with doraku.

    Second time I came here but this time to grab something to eat. I ordered a Turkey Panini and I never thought it would come with a small salad and some potatoes. Everything tasted good, I hope to come back again in the future.

    Bluetree Tea Latte
    Brandi O.

    We were greeted right as we walked through the door by friendly staff. We sat at the bar and our drinks were quickly made; my friend and I both got the bluetree latte. I'm not a huge coffee fan but I really loved the bluetree latte. The flavors were so good and not overpowering! The cafe was busy with people talking and the staff making people's drinks. The cafe gives off friendly vibes with a chill atmosphere. I would definitely come back to visit!

    Acai bowl and blueberry latte (April special)
    Christine P.

    Went with friends to try. Parked in the building. Theres a few stalls to park. Entered through the garage and sat and ordered. They have their regular drinks and then they have their monthly specials. I decided to try their monthly special drink of blueberry latte because who knows if that drink will be back? It was yummy. Some blueberries were in the bottom of the drink. The only thing i didn't really like is the paper straws because we had to change straws in the middle of us eating. The service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend if in the area. Would like to try more of their other drinks as well. Also had their Bluetree acai bowl. Super yummy served in a cute bowl.

    Blue Tree is located on the ground floor of Pacifica building. Not sure if there is parking available anywhere, but i went on a Sunday and there was free street parking all day. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of guests that were sitting inside were busy studying or doing something on their computers so we opted for outdoor seating. They are also dog friendly and have pup cups upon request. I ordered the Ube latte ($5) and lobster toast ($18). You can also do yelp check in which i forgot for 10% off. Both items that i got was very underwhelming. I probably would not order either items again, but i don't know if i would go here again since its a little bit of a hassle (parking wise) if there isnt validated parking.

    Blue tree latte
    Audrey P.

    The seasonal options looked yummy. I got the blue tree classic latte which had a super unique and beautiful appearance. It tasted pretty good but didn't have enough ice to keep cool for travel. My friend got the açaí bowl but wasn't super excited about how watery it was and prefers a more solid bowl. It had a super cute vibe inside but only one employee so it took 20 minutes for the bowl and latte to come out. The employee was very kind though!

    Bluetree Acai bowl
    Seyoung Y.

    Their acai bowl was so yummy. It's pretty big for one person to eat all, so it'd be a good portion to share with someone. The place is pretty cozy to study too. Overall a nice cafe to chill and hang out or study.

    BLueTree Latte
    Kayla N.

    I ordered their signature BlueTree Latte, and honestly I did not like it. I felt like there was just too much going on. It was hard for me to finish. The second time I came back, I ordered a Matcha Latte w/ soy. I asked if they had condensed milk and the barista told me "I don't think so" even though it's on their menu. Their match wasn't strong at all, which also sucked. I wished the drinks tasted better because I really enjoy studying here.

    Strawberry matcha latte (20oz)

    I needed a spot to hang out and chat with my aunty, and Bluetree Cafe was a cute find in the Kaka'ako area. I wanted to try it mainly for the strawberry matcha latte, which was really nice. They offer 2 hours of free parking in the Aoki Group lot at The Collection condominium. The entrance is on Keawe Street. Just don't forget to register your car using the QR code. There's seating both upstairs and outside, but it can get a little loud, and the tables are pretty close together. I noticed a lot of people hanging out with their laptops and headphones. It seems like a popular spot for working or studying. Next time, I'd like to try some of their food too. One helpful tip: they mentioned that they tend to run out of menu items toward the end of the week (especially on Sundays), so if you want the full menu experience, it's best to visit Monday through Wednesday after they restock. I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time!

    -1 star because I thought they still have juices Nonetheless, we got Lean Green smoothie - it was more sour than expected and pretty light, and For The Gut smoothie - banana is overpowering but good breakfast smoothie. I think there's free PARKING inside the garage but there were available free street parking. AMBIANCE from the outside is nice but the inside was okay. I see people doing work in the laptop. There are a lot of seating and outlets for charging your devices. SERVICE was also okay. Nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, it might take a while for me to come back again. P.S. dogs are allowed!

    Ube Latté at Blue Tree Café... chillin sorta morning;)
    Eric R.

    "There's a proverb that goes, 'Sometimes, the wrong train takes you to the right station.'" - K-Drama I go way back with Bluetree Cafe and the Aoki brothers. In fact, many moons ago I had a small party here and so coming back here years later brought back fond memories. My bestie, Kyra K., needed to do some remote work, and since we were in the area, I suggested Bluetree Cafe since she never tried it. Bestie agreed and since it was a Sunday morning it allowed us to park directly on Kapiolani Blvd. Sadly, the parking was probably the best part of this visit as to be perfectly honest the Bluetree Cafe vibe I'm used to just wasn't there... I'm not saying have Steve Aoki DJ his EDM Jams, I'm just saying it was an odd visit lol. Bluetree Cafe is still a very cool place to visit and be seen. Lots of areas to work, study, or just chill. Inside or outside tables. Counter space and just a very artsy twist for Coffee Shop. The odd part started when we noticed only one employee being the Cashier, Barista, and Server too. Maybe two others before us, so we thought hmm can't be that bad, right? Wrong. Back to ordering: I chose the Ube Latté and Bestie chose the Latté Flight. And we waited. And we waited lol. Lucky in a way that Bestie had lots of remote work or we'd be gossiping about others like Gossip Girl! The decor is another IG worthy photo op as it's quite eclectic with lots of wood, dial telephones, bicycles, and even a vintage Vespa parked near the restrooms! Indoor and outdoor seating and lots of area to work, play, or just chill. Outside is a great area if sunny. And we wait. *sigh* The wait was probably 15-20 minutes which is eternity for just coffee, but finally the drinks are ready and brought to our table. The presentation was nice, the Ube Latté in a nice glass jar, and the Latté Flight of Earth Matcha, Sky Latté, and Ube Latté (Soy) displayed on a wooden tray. Long story short the taste did not match the visuals lol. It was definitely not worth the wait. Dare I say... like dirt. In the end, I'm sad to say I'm no longer a fan of Bluetree Café. I honestly don't know why it went off the train tracks from years ago. Don't believe me? Read the earlier reviews of constant 4-5 stars. The cafe being understaffed, the long wait unacceptable, and even some of the drinks being "earthy"... almost a nicer way of saying taste like "dirt". Still kudos to the lone Barista who managed to survive the morning. I'm a member of the VIP Aoki Rewards program and loyal to several of it's restaurants. Bluetree Café is at the lower end of totem pole. 3-stars for the memories.

    We met our boss at Bluetree Cafe. It's located on thebottom floor of the Kapiolani Hotel. It's very quaint. The staff working are really friendly and welcoming. It's like a mini work hub area. You get your coffee, tea or latte and enjoy working in a clean, quiet environment. The menu had more organic offerings. There's outdoor seating if you prefer as well. Our team ordered coffee and lattes. They also have organic peanut butter balls. There is a 2nd flavor option as well. They have sandwiches, smoothies and Açaí bowls. It was very pleasant in the time we spent at Blue tree. Parking is free before 5pm.

    Their ube latte is one of my favorites! Perfectly balanced and not too sweet. I also feel the price is pretty decent in this economy.

    Nalu Health Bar & Café is such a solid spot, especially if you're looking for something fresh,…read morequick, and actually satisfying. Parking is super easy with the complimentary structure, and the café is located on the bottom floor alongside other vendors. One thing I immediately appreciated was how well air-conditioned the entire market is--it's nice and cool, which makes sitting and eating there really comfortable. The cashier recommended the turkey pesto croissant, but suggested swapping it onto ciabatta since it's one of her favorites--and I'm so glad I trusted her. It was phenomenal. The flavors were balanced, the bread held everything together perfectly, and it felt like a step above your typical sandwich. I also had what looked like a simple salad, but the vinaigrette and candied pistachios really elevated it and made it feel more thoughtful than expected. The staff across the board were friendly and welcoming, and there's plenty of seating--whether inside the café or out in the open market area. Honestly, the value surprised me the most. I paid under $13 for everything, which is hard to beat for the quality. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

    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.

There were a few small tables inside and a bunch outside... but it's too warm for me on an August afternoon to go outside, and inside was packed... so, I took my Avocado Toast and Coconut Lime Cooler to my car. Haha! Service was friendly and efficient! After I ordered the Avocado Toast, she asked if I wanted a drink. I should have taken her hint. I went back in line for the Coconut Lime Cooler. LOL! The avocado toast was great! I could taste a touch of garlic and a bit tartness from balsamic vinegar? The Coconut Lime Cooler was interesting. It was like a soda without sugar. It was carbonated water with coconut cream on the top and some lime syrup? It wasn't sweet like a soda pop... which is a good thing! Originally, I wanted to get the Açai Sorbetto bowl, but I caught the fragrance of toast... and got the Avocado Toast. So - I should return for the Sorbetto bowl... and a plain croissant... because the customer in front of me ordered the croissant... and it sounded and smelled good!
