    Was craving for match and I order a matcha from here service was great took a little longer than anticipated but the drink was nice and fresh enjoyed and killed my craving.

    Delicious and such a relaxing way to spend an early Sunday morning! Friendly staff provides stellar customer service. I think I found another favorite place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee! Pretty latte art is an extra bonus! Will be back again soon!

    Come for the matcha, stay for the conversation pit. Yes, Drip Studio has a cool conversation pit (two of them actually) in the front of the cafe for you to sit and enjoy your drinks at. I love their matcha, I usually go for the strawberry matcha and I've also tried their hojicha. But this spot is called Drip studio because of their drip coffee. I love coffee and was amazed on how strong yet smooth the coffee is. It takes a little bit for them to make it, but the process is so cool to watch. This is one of those spots that I always run into someone I know. Plus, the staff here is just so friendly. If you're craving a coffee or matcha in Chinatown, definately check out Drip Studio.

    Now open on Sunday!!! Yes everyone you can now have your fix on Sundays which I'm so excited and know that parking is free around town which many know makes it even more of a reason to chill here but they do also validate for an hour at the building parking lot which is found in the back entrance and it's so fast and easy. I've actually have been here before they moved to this current location which is just as nice but bigger with more seating is very nice and fun as some of the seating you're actually in the window to show off your sip and relax lol! On this visit I came to complete my Matcha Map which was such a fun and experience I enjoyed with friends as it took us around various places that serves up some items that makes it uniquely their own. No different here as it's much more clean and simple as it's not overly sweet but flavors were definitely there. It was the classic Strawberry Matcha with Almond Milk it was a very elegant sip and since we had the validation I defiantly wanted to have it here which they do give it to you in a glass and omg what a stunning sip with the layers and finished with dusting of matcha and some dried strawberries...cheers! I paired it with a Gochujang Sugar Cookie that I couldn't resist that did have the perfect slight kick was delicious and that it was made in house as well was impressive. Love the various unique seating and merchandise of the matcha with accessories as well this place is definitely a great place to work or chill. Thank you very matcha!

    Forever one of my favorites, and literally my favorite coffee shop on island! Everything is extremely high quality, they care about quality and precision vs. trends, and nothing is overly sweet which I love. This time I got the Americano which was SO good, the strawberry matcha which is by far my literally my favorite on island and has a good amount of strawberries! High-quality coffee, matcha, hojicha - they don't miss. Shoutout Vincent and Rod!!

    Great local coffee shop ambiance with accommodations for larger parties of 6-8 as well. I got the strawberry matcha and it was rich and delightful. I tried the yogurt as well and it was so refreshing. The service was excellent with knowledgeable and kind staff!

    Cute little coffee shop in downtown. The baristas were so nice and talked us through some of their pour overs. As black coffee lovers, this place does have tasty coffees. The cold brew had a very unique flavor but wasn't bitter or woody at all like some cold brews can be. The yogurt bowl was simple and tasty.

    I'm always looking for coffee shops that offer quality coffee, unique drinks, delicious food that's made in-house, and a vibe that makes me want to chill out, sit down & enjoy my meal. DRIP STUDIO IS EXACTLY THAT!! Staff is so so friendly. Coffee is so good. The food is YUM. I got Vince's Favorite sandwich and the Drip Royale coffee and was amazed by both. The quality and taste are Next time I will be dining in and enjoying the vibes of the place

    I loved the iced lavender latte with almond milk. It was so good that I went back a few days later for another one. Located downtown, great place if you live or work in the area and don't need parking. There's a self serve station to place your own orders. Then you get it from the counter once it's ready. Kinda felt like it lacked a personal or welcoming feel. No hi or goodbye or thank you or aloha.... But I guess it serves its purpose and good for people that don't want to have interaction. It has a bit of an artsy feel to it. Not sure what was there before, but it's a cool size and vibe for downtown. I will definitely come back when I'm in town again.

    I came here with one other person for some quick coffee. It was pretty busy when we came in and had to wait for awhile to order and another while for our drinks. I just went with a pour over and the person I came with got their Americano. Both our drinks tasted really light. We both thought it was okay and nothing crazy good. It seemed like everyone else who came in got a matcha so that would be something I would like to come back and try. They also had some pastries too that looked good. The inside is cute and they have places to sit and hang out. The people working were also really nice and helpful. Parking was tough since we just did street parking.

    Delicious Coffee and Matcha tucked away on Fort Street mall. Beautiful interior and friendly customer service. They have a great selection of drip coffees but stopped in to get a strawberry matcha that I've been craving. Its definitely a little bit of a splurge but so good!

    A great café featuring amazing local and international coffees -- as well as quality matcha and hojicha. Located at Fort Street Mall, the small shop has a relaxing, easy-going vibe despite the fast-paced, busy nature of Downtown. There are times where they get slammed, but the atmosphere is still upbeat and positive. The staff are super friendly and more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the coffees or teas they sell. Whether you're a coffee/tea aficionado or someone who wants to know more, the staff are amazing at helping you out. Also, the food is a really great to accompany your beverage and with trying.

    Stopped by for morning caffeine here and parking was a bit tough! There is metered street parking or a nearby paid parking lot but it's still a little way away to walk to, and it's not visible from the main street so make sure to use your map! I've been seeing this spot on Instagram constantly and it was nearby so I wanted to check it out. I really enjoyed my strawberry matcha latte - it was one of my top drinks of the trip! It was perfect sweetness without overpowering the matcha flavor. Such a pretty but quality drink!!

I ordered the 100% Kona coffee option and paid the additional charge for it, but the drink itself was poorly crafted. When I politely asked if it could be remade, the response was essentially that remaking it would not improve the quality of the drink. Rather than offering to remake or replace it, I was told I would need to pay the difference to order a different coffee--even though I had already paid a premium for the 100% Kona option. I understand that not every drink will turn out perfectly. What bothered me much more was how the situation was handled. A specialty coffee shop charging a premium for its coffee should be willing to stand behind the drink it serves and make a reasonable effort to correct something a customer is unhappy with. The combination of the poorly made drink and dismissive service made this a particularly disappointing visit.

    A Cozy Cafe with Friendly Staff, but the Coconut Latte Missed the Mark…read more I stopped by Bluetree Cafe in Kakaʻako around 3 PM with my cat, and the staff were genuinely friendly. They all came over to say hi to my cat, which was such a sweet and welcoming touch. The cafe itself is very cozy and beautifully decorated, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I actually came specifically for the coconut latte after seeing it in their Yelp photos. Unfortunately, the drink was quite disappointing. There was a fairly long wait - around 8 - 10 minutes for one cup. It seemed like one of the baristas was new and another staff member was teaching her, so I completely understood the delay. But when I finally received the drink, it didn't taste anything like the coconut latte I was expecting and it's the most expensive one though. I've probably had couple of hundreds coconut lattes, so I have a pretty good idea of what I was looking for. I asked the barista if she might have accidentally made a regular latte instead of a coconut latte, and she assured me, "Yes, it's a coconut latte." I took several sips, but honestly, it tasted more like a cold brew to me. Since I had my cat with me and the AC inside was also quite strong, I eventually went outside and just enjoyed hanging out with my cat instead. I really wanted to love this place because the atmosphere and staff were so nice. If the coconut latte had been made correctly - or tasted more like the coconut latte shown in their photos - I would definitely consider coming back. For now, though, I'm not sure I would make a special trip back just for the drink. I hope they improve the consistency because the cafe has a lot of potential.

    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.
