It is a little dated and needs some updates, but it didn't hurt my experience. My waitress was very friendly and the food came out quickly and hot. One minor gripe is my scrambled eggs were cooked more like an omelet and they were bland, but I have had worse. The orange juice was much larger than expected. I ordered a jumbo because I always get such small servings. It was not the case here. I would stop by again next time I am in the area. It was kinda dead when I got there at 7:30am, but soon there were more people that showed up. The prices aren't bad, especially for Hawaii and compared to the mainland.

Heather is a true expert who genuinely cares about her customers' preferences, and it shows in every cup. Her specialty coffees and cold brews are outstanding and very reasonably priced. What sets Sunrise Brew apart is the ambiance Heather brings to every location. Even as a mobile setup, she creates such a warm, inviting, and 'super cute' aesthetic that instantly brightens your day. I also love the versatility of her business--she can customize her services for events of any size, bringing that same cozy vibe and genuine 'aloha' wherever she goes. A must-try for any coffee lover!

We pulled up and were greeted by the cashier who was friendly and answered lol of our questions. We decided on a combo of Kalua Pig and Laulau along with Poi. First off, turns out that I do not care for Poi! This restaurant cooks it well and it is absolutely not their fault but what a boring food! The Pork was outstanding and the Taro Leaves on the Laulau were outstanding. We also had the Ho'io Salad which was a great addition with outstanding flavor. We finished with the dessert Sweet Lady of Waiahole which was super tasty and not to be missed. There is decent parking and several picnic tables outside. I thought the entire experience was super fun, you just may want to swap your Poi for Rice. :)

We only come for the rice yogurt drinks which are bomb! They're refreshing, light, have perfect tartness, and have great texture from the sticky rice and thickness!

The strawberry mochi smoothie was ok, the smoothie part was good but there was a little too much mochi for me-I felt like I was drinking straight mochi for part of the drink.

It has such a nice guava flavor and I like the texture and chewiness of the purple rice. The prices for the drinks here are reasonable and they come out fast! A quick, nice stop to get your drink fix.

I'll explain later. Before we even went to the location, we yelped it. We saw they had Açaí bowls and shaved ice. When we walked up to the store, the front window had all the items that was "available." I'll post the picture. When we walked in, we asked the older man if we could have 2 Açaí bowls. He yelled and said it's not açaí bowls, it's only the bottom part...NO FRUITS! My daughter pointed at the picture that had an açaí with fruit, right behind the old man. He said no fruits!! Ok fine, so we are still getting charged $8.60 for a medium size cup of only the açaí and no fruits? That's pretty expensive. Even the very best açaí bowls with fruit aren't that much!!! So we decided on the shaved ice, he said we don't sell shaved ice here! Now I'm really confused. Maybe they use too. But all the Yelpers/customers had pictures of shaved ice and açaí bowls. Our 4 girls decided on the ice cream that was in the deep freezer by register. The older lady kept shutting the freezer door on my girls because they took too long to decide. It's not like the ice cream was going to melt in 30 seconds, but whatever. Never again will I come here! The pictures I posted are of the front windows. Each picture, I zoomed in closer so you can finally see the "sign" that says no açaí bowls! I circles it in red. They definitely need to update pictures inside and out as well as the yelp account.

We decided to try the traditional, which is just shipped in granulated sugar, a custard filled and a chocolate filled. These are not like regular donuts, l although say first glance the look like regular donuts. Malasadas are very eggy--almost like a wet custard pastry, if that makes any sense. I don't like weird textures, and while I did like them, the texture was a little on the custom of "iffy" for me. Hubby really liked them, and they tasted so delicious. Note of caution: they didn't seem to be the same the next day. The eggs texture made it seem kind of "wet" the next day, so the one we saved ended up in the trash. I'm giving it a five because they tasted delicious, and the texture issue is MY weird thing. Everyone else seems to love them, so I'm going with that!

The person who took my order was wearing a headset so I assumed they were also doing the drive thru orders at the same time. I placed my order with them and waited under 5 minutes. I got the mango strawberry refresher and a cheese danish. The staff are efficient here! There are 4 tables with chairs for seating inside but all the tables were taken so I took my items to go. The interiors of the shop were clean and well lit. The area where the baristas make the drinks was a modern design with the white counter tops, it's very different from the locations in town (Honolulu) that use wood.

Each day can host up to 60 guests, in case anyone wants to do a full buyout for their party. As an individual, attending, making a reservation was very simple, confirmations are sent via email from Fareharbor. There's free round trip transportation to and from 4 convenient pick-up locations in Waikiki. If you're planning to drive in (and you're Kama'aina) it's free parking. Otherwise they charge $15 per car. Very limited parking area with about 25 unmarked stalls available. When we arrived the private blue-ish colored gate is a tricky one, where you need to be in a specific area to the sensor, in order for it to open up. I would recommend having an attendant stationed here to open the gate for easier access to those driving in (and out in the evening). When inside the gate, make a right and go all the way down to the pavilion area, first come, first serve parking. Then make your way to the pathway where you'll be greeted with a shell lei. From 5:15pm-6pm you can partake in activities such as tatau (tattoo) and making ti-leaf bracelets. The dinner started promptly at 6pm with a lovely 4-course menu and live music (Hawaiian duo). About mid-way through the courses, the show then transitions into hula, Tahitian and fire knife dancing. I personally would have liked more storytelling and a flow for the show. But I did appreciate the opportunity to take pictures with the dancers afterwards because we're in more of an intimate group setting, than those big-box luaus with hundreds+ of people. All in all, everything ended around 7:30pm that evening. If you're looking for a more intimate setting away from all the hustle and bustle then this is a great alternative. And I personally don't care for luau food (kalua pig, lomi salmon, poi) so I appreciated the Michel's touch on the cuisine. Overall, the place is well-kept and cared for. The restrooms as also clean and easily accessible. Pro Tip: Bring bug spray and lots of it because you're near a fish pond. It was relatively breezy on the night that we went, so we didn't need any light jackets. I'm curious to see what their back-up plan is, in case it rains, as I'm assuming the show must go-on. Pro Tip 2: Ensure that you notate your allergies when making a reservation, so that they can accommodate your needs. The printed menu doesn't necessarily list everything such as shrimp in the tomato bisque and bacon in the tofu poke.

You can't walk into hygienic without feeling the sense of Aloha. From ethnic foods like pasteles to modern treats like Icees there's something here for everybody. The staff treats everyone with Aloha. Personally, I get Kava here every couple of weeks. Their Kava is the second best I've ever had, and the Fiji variety of Kava is particularly good. I was pleased to learn that they carried Kava, so I don't have to drive to Kalihi to get it, which is a relief because I'm an old fut who does not like driving in to Honolulu. They are just a 5 to 10 minute drive from Haiku Woods, so it's my preferred place to get Kava. If you live here their goods all have local appeal. If you're just visiting Honolulu, Hygienic store is a great place to get the feel of local culture and maybe discover a couple of new favorite foods.
