A great high-protein, lower-carb way to start the day! The salad had a nice variety of colors, textures, and crunch from the pistachios and onions. It also came with a small cup of sweet and savory dressing that tied everything together beautifully. The smoked ahi spread was fresh, flavorful, and not overly fishy. It was served with a slice of freshly toasted garlic bread that was warm, fragrant, and perfectly crisp without being overly toasted. // Wailua Moana Açaí Bowl So refreshing! Easily one of the best açaí bowls we've had. The texture was thick and smooth with a great balance of fresh fruit, crunchy granola, and healthy fats from the nuts. Every bite was delicious. // Matcha We ordered both the regular matcha latte with coconut foam and the strawberry matcha latte. I was so disappointed they no longer offer the lilikoi matcha- I know that flavor combination would've been amazing! Hopefully they bring it back someday. The matcha itself was on the lighter side compared to richer ceremonial matchas, but it was still smooth, well-balanced, and not at all astringent. It paired really well with the oat milk, and both drinks were enjoyable. There was a line out the door during breakfast/brunch hours, which shows just how popular this place is. Despite the crowd, the service was friendly and efficient, and we were able to grab a small table to dine in. It's located on the upper level of the Royal Hawaiian Center, making it a convenient stop while shopping in Waikiki. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu (hoping the lilikoi matcha will make a comeback too)!

Acai bowls were great! Very colorful and had a good taste to it. I'd skip the original and go for…read morethe coconut/papaya one instead as it has more variety and texture. Wish it came with more coconut shavings on top as that was a bit stingy. Only a few small pieces

We came pretty early in the morning and found parking in the parking lot with no issue…read more The cafe area is welcoming and aesthetically pleasing. We ordered 3 drinks to go: 1) Strawberry Glow Smoothie- a very well made smoothie and tasted delicious. However for the price point I don't think I'll be buying again. 2) Small Matcha Latte- unfortunately my boyfriend wasn't able to finish his drink. It tasted mostly of milk with a splash of Matcha. 3) Hojicha - I always get this when it's available at any cafe. Their Hojicha was very well made and something I would go back for.

The environment they've curated in here is so unique, it's something you can't really replicate or find anywhere else on the island. The photos show a couple of our favorites. Lee Jae loves the Sakura Matcha and I'm all about the Lavender Matcha. Their syrups are house made too, which is a huge plus and something I always look for in a cafe. I do wish they did have more milk options though! I love soy milk but always have to opt in for regular milk. Other than that everything still tastes amazing! The service is top tier every time, and they even bring the drinks right to you. The staff is so welcoming and they really know their plants, so if you ever need help or you're hunting for something specific they've got you. If you're in town or visiting, it's definitely worth stopping by for a drink or plant!

If you've spent any time around International Market Place, you've probably seen the line at Kona…read moreCoffee. There's always a line, and with all the hype on IG, we finally decided to give it a try and brave the wait. We ordered the sesame latte, drip coffee, iced coffee, and hibiscus tea. TBH... it was just okayyy. Everything was good, but I'm not sure it was good enough that I'd personally want to wait in that long of a line for it. I got the sesame latte and, honestly, it was a little meh. I was expecting more of that sesame flavor, but I didn't really taste it. Others in our group felt the coffee was a little sour for their liking. That said, it could just be our personal coffee preferences/taste buds. There's clearly a reason why there's always a line, so I'm sure plenty of people love it -- it just might not be for everyone. If you're already in the area and don't mind waiting, definitely give it a try and see for yourself! Also, they have an online ordering option, which could be a good way to save some time if you don't want to stand in the line.

When my husband was looking for some coffee after we landed in Honolulu and our first option wasn't…read moregoing to work, I ended up quickly spotting this seemingly quaint Japanese cafe and am glad it was good and a lovely, peaceful vibe! It's a bit hard to find though. Located on the top floor of a complex with other food options. You take the elevator up. I'd recommend parking in the Walmart structure across the street because otherwise parking is also hard to find. I got a seasonal drink (white sesame kinako latte with a shot of matcha) and at $11 it was maybe the priciest cup of caffeine I've ever had haha. But it was interesting and tasty and got me refreshed, so worth savoring as a special treat. My husband got a maple cocoa cold foam coffee and it was also delicious! We also got a couple of baked items, which took a while (barista did thank us for waiting) to come out but the tuna melt toast especially hit the spot. The dashi tamago sando was just alright. They also have dessert treats which looked delicious.

I needed to occupy myself after I dropped hubs off for his first cataract surgery…read more After doing some retail therapy at NR I had half an hour to spare. Hubs had to fast from 6 am for his 2 pm surgery so I thought he would probably be starving and would enjoy a delectable salt and butter roll from here. At $4.50 a piece I consider this a luxury for us. I found a close stall in the parking structure. A very cheerful polite male employee took my order. I had seen two occupied tables as I walked into the shop. Both had matcha drinks. Why not? I asked the young man assisting me, what's the best matcha drink? He said his favorite was banana matcha with extra banana foam. Okay I'll try it. He repeated it to the cashier. So popular there was a wait for beverages to be prepared. Soon enough mine was ready. I think Doc would enjoy this drink. This shop is a working bakery. Many yummy pastries displayed. Menu is posted high up above to choose from. Rather tiny shop with room for customers to stand in line to order and wait for drinks. Clean, busy with a few tables and chairs outside but pretty much in direct sun.

I got the caramel macadamia cold brew and raspberry iced latte. Both were amazing and tasted great. The bottles lasted me 2 cups with ice. They have a wide selection of food and drinks and the Japanese infusion is pretty cool. Drinks are pricey, but not much higher than the rest of the island. Service is very friendly, although it can take 5-10 minutes to get your order, even if it's a single coffee. There is street parking and limited seating inside. When I gets busy, it can feel very cramped inside, but the food quality makes up for it.
