    Lots of seating, and options for drinks and food. Their lavender latte was delicious. The drinks came out quickly and it's just a great spot if you want to study or hang out with a friend.

    Kulolo crunch latte
    Jewel Ann C.

    I finally got the time to check out this place after I heard about a kulolo crunch latte. Anything kulolo ima need to try it out! Parking: depends on the day & time you go but they do have a pay parking garage right across the street or if you get lucky with street parking but you also have to pay. Service: when I walked in it looked just like a mainland coffee shops I've been too. Pretty cool & clean inside. They do have an upstairs sitting. So of course I got the "KULOLO CRUNCH LATTE" but sad to say ima have to give this a 4/10. It just tasted like a regular coffee with crunch. I really tried hard to get that taste of the kulolo but I didn't. I also let my mom & daughter try & they didn't taste any kulolo.

    Kulolo Crunch Matcha

    I recently visited Blue Tree Cafe in Kakaʻako and had mixed feelings about my experience. When I walked in, there was one employee working on drinks. I could see she was busy, so I waited patiently. However, I wasn't greeted or acknowledged with something simple like, "I'll be right with you." After a few minutes, she was ready to take my order, but the interaction felt a bit awkward. She initially just stared at me without saying anything before eventually saying "hi." While taking my order, she also didn't ask what size drink I wanted. After a few more minutes, my drink was finished and placed on the counter without any verbal acknowledgment. The overall customer service felt lacking and not very welcoming. As for the drink itself, I had been excited to try the Kulolo Crunch Latte, but since I've been on a matcha kick lately, I decided to order the Kulolo Crunch Matcha instead. The drink was ok overall. It wasn't overly sweet, which many people will appreciate, and the dominant flavors were coconut and macadamia nut. The matcha flavor was fairly mild and didn't stand out as much as I expected. While it wasn't my favorite matcha drink I've had, it was still good. One thing I did really like was the ambiance. The cafe has a clean, modern feel and is spread across two floors, which gives it plenty of seating. It seems like a great place to study, work remotely, or just relax with a drink. The space felt comfortable and inviting, and I could see myself spending time there. Overall, the service left a lot to be desired, but the drink was decent and the atmosphere was enjoyable. I'd be willing to give Blue Tree Cafe another chance and return in the future to try some of their other menu items.

    Bluetree used to be one of my favorite cafes but I feel like lately it's gone a little downhill. My mom and I wanted to get some coffee and a smoothie today. We waited probably like 15 minutes for a smoothie with no one else waiting for their order. We are totally fine with waiting but the worker proceeded to hand us a smoothie that wasn't even filled all the way to the top. When we tried it, it wasn't even blended all the way. There were food bits and huge chunks of ice that clogged the straw so it wasn't that pleasant to drink.

    Super cute little coffee shop in Kaka'ako! Great spot to come by with your laptop and do some work on their tables upstairs, or just meet up with a friend and chat on their outdoor patio area. I tried their sunburnt coconut latte which features their house toasted coconut syrup. I've also tried their earth matcha which also has the same coconut syrup and butterfly tea. The butterfly tea gives it a really cool blue color. A lot of the drinks here have a fun color to it like the blueberry or lavender drinks. You can either park across the street or there is also a parking garage attached. Both are paid parking. They also serve wine and because of that stay open a lot later than traditional coffee spots.

    Super cute cafe with fun drink options! I did go mid morning on a weekend and I believe there was only one barista working at that time. Because of that it did take a little bit to order and get my drink, but I was not in a rush and honestly for one person taking orders and making drinks it was pretty quick! Got the kulolo crunch latte which was something I haven't tried before & it was great! There's limited indoor and outdoor seating which occasionally can fill when it gets crowded. They also have vendors do pop ups occasionally which is always a nice surprise! I love being able to look at the different booths while waiting.

    Macadamia Cloud Latte 16oz $6.45

    Located in Kakaako near the corner of Dry Bar. Good spot to read or get work done. Seating out and inside on ground leave and second floor. They have a bathroom. The macadamia cloud latte is a must. I was impressed with the latte. The turkey pesto panini- I'm not gonna order this again. I ate it but it wasn't the best turkey pesto panini I had. It was just ok. They do give a lot of turkey which was a plus. The service was good. Workers were nice and looked like they were working hard. I paid about $21 for my drink and sandwich.

    My current go-to study spot. Great amount of seating since there's two floors. Upstairs gets a little chilly. Free wifi and multiple outlets! Also there are 3 free parking stalls on the building which is nice! Blueberry matcha latte is my fave. Sometimes it's hit or miss, but if the blueberry part is not too chunky it's soooo good. They also have a bunch of yummy food options! Student discount for everything except matcha! Great service!

    Good coffee and great atmosphere.. i ordered a Bluetree croissant sandwich. I like the flakiness of the croissant.

    Kulolo Crunch Latte
    Grace L.

    When I visit a new coffee shop, I always make sure there's adequate parking, seating, WiFi (if I'm gonna do work), and a bathroom. Bluetree has become one of my top coffee shops in town for checking all of these boxes! There's parking in their structure (scan QR code in the cafe to register your license plate #), plenty of seating inside (upstairs/downstairs), and WiFi if you plan on doing work. My go-to drink as of recently has been their Kulolo Crunch Latte. I also loved their Coconut Cloud Matcha -- they use Wai Koko coconut water! For the most part, people in the shop are doing work and being productive so it's not too overstimulating like many coffee shops I've been to. If you're looking for just a chill place to grab a coffee or matcha and lock in, I'd recommend checking out Bluetree in Kaka'ako!

    Bluetree Classic Latte, Purple Cloud Latte
    Jodie F.

    Vibey cafe with outdoor & indoor seating. There's additional seating upstairs too. Both the Bluetree Classic Latte & Purple Cloud Latte was good. I do think the Bluetree Latte is on the lighter tasting side, not the best choice if you like a sweet & bold latte. Free parking (scan code & select customer).

    Bluetree Club Sandwich
    Vicky L.

    Calm and decently spacious cafe atmosphere! I ordered a club sandwich and a strawberry matcha. Sandwich was huge and pretty good!! But the matcha unfortunately was bad. They're so skimpy with the matcha that it just tasted like milk. I could tell before I even mixed it, just based on the color and ratio. My friend got a blueberry matcha latte and also said hers just tasted like milk and a LOT of blueberry. They had a lot of ceiling fans and they were all on, as well as ac, so if you get cold easily, avoid the second floor especially. Do not get matcha here. It is not good. Service was good, though she gave me two sandwiches when I ordered one (I only took mine). Free parking validation that you scan when you walk in at the counter!

    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.

    This fresh food shop in Oahu is absolutely fantastic and has been one of the highlights of my trip!…read moreThe customer service is truly exceptional. The wonderful Hawaiian ladies who run the shop are incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Their aloha spirit shines through in every interaction, and they make you feel like family the moment you walk through the door. The smoothies are some of the freshest and most authentic I've ever tasted. Everything tastes natural, wholesome, and made with high-quality organic ingredients. My favorites are the guava and strawberry smoothies, which are bursting with fresh fruit flavor and perfectly refreshing without tasting overly sweet or artificial. The biggest compliment I can give is that during my one-week vacation in Hawaii, I've already come back three times! That's how good this place is. When you find food this fresh, service this friendly, and an atmosphere this welcoming, you can't help but keep coming back. If you're looking for authentic, healthy, delicious food and drinks in Oahu, do yourself a favor and stop by. This place is an absolute gem and deserves every one of its five stars. Highly recommend!

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.

    I think I may have found my new forever spot…read more This was my first visit, and when I arrived the ordering area was at capacity, so I was standing outside. I noticed a QR code on the door for online ordering, scanned it, grabbed an outdoor table and figured I'd give that a try. I ordered the Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich, the Apple Pecan Salad with balsamic dressing, and a large cold brew. I paid online and sat outside for maybe 15-20 minutes. I never did figure out whether I was supposed to get a notification that my order was ready, so eventually I just went inside to check. Sure enough, it was ready. Easy enough, and everyone I interacted with was incredibly kind. Then I got home and opened everything, and THAT is when I became really impressed. I had included a note with my order that I planned to eat the salad the following day and asked that the wet ingredients be kept separate. They absolutely understood the assignment. Everything was packaged so thoughtfully. The Apple Pecan Salad was beautiful, incredibly fresh and substantial, with the ingredients carefully separated so it would keep. It wasn't some obligatory pile of greens tossed into a container. You could actually see the care that went into making it. The Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich was equally good. Fresh, generously filled and absolutely delicious. I ate half the sandwich and some of the salad and was completely satisfied. Between the two, I can easily get four meals out of what I ordered, which makes the value even better. And the cold brew? Wowzer. Robust and delicious! I think what impressed me most was simply the level of care. A sandwich and a salad aren't complicated foods, but doing simple food really well takes effort. Fresh produce, good ingredients, thoughtful preparation, paying attention to a customer's request, and putting out food that looks every bit as good as it tastes. I felt that in this order. I actually tipped 15% when I ordered because I was thinking, okay, this is basically grab-and-go. After I got home and ate the food, I wished I'd tipped 20%. It genuinely felt good spending my money here. This was visit number one, and they've already set the benchmark. I really hope they stay exactly like this, because what a find. I will absolutely be back.
