Been wanting to try this place since they opened and I'm so glad I finally made it. The workers were nice and friendly and helped make a selection.

I somehow spent around $30 on 2 drinks that were at most only 10oz, and not too good. I tried both…read morethe matcha, and hojicha, and was very disappointed. I like both bitter, and sweet matcha, so I am not picky whatsoever. I'm sure their matcha is good quality, that i give it props to, but it was not worth the money, and as i watched the worker whisk it, she whisked for a good 4 seconds before she poured it in the cup, leaving it lowkey grainy. Hojicha did not give off the roasted flavor, and that small drink was not worth it.

Three words: Manoa Chocolate Mocha…read more I was on my way back to Honolulu after spending about an hour at the beach. I needed caffeine. Luckily, ChadLou's was still open. The young woman was friendly and said it was a good choice! Most mochas are good, but this one has an intense chocolate flavor that I've never tasted elsewhere. Soooooooo good! She: Have a safe drive home! Oh, I did get this iced which almost made it feel like I was drinking a shake! Mahalo again ChadLou's!

I haven't been to Chadlou's since their move to their new location. Unfortunately, my recent…read moreexperience at ChadLou's Coffee Shop in Kaneohe wasn't what I remembered it being. The coffee was clumpy and had noticeable bits of espresso or chocolate debris in the drink, which made the texture unpleasant. The worker was very nice and friendly, so I have no complaints about the service. Their indoor space felt a little crammed as customers were left confused as to where to wait for their drinks. Indoor seating is gone. There used to be a lot of space that added a lot to the ambiance and made ChadLou's feel like a cozy place to enjoy a coffee. Without it, the atmosphere just doesn't feel the same anymore.

OMG, this is a new find and I love this place!…read more This has quickly become one of my favorite cafes in the east side. The vibe is peaceful, aesthetic, calm, and welcoming, the baristas are incredibly kind, and the drinks are consistently excellent. So far I tried their matcha latte with almond milk and monk fruit and it was tasty, and then also had their version of the shaken espresso. The baristas aren't snobby and willing to customize your drink to fit your preferences which is great! They also have Wi-Fi if you need to work, cute merch, and plenty of space to relax. It's one of those places where you walk in and immediately feel better. I'll definitely be back again and again!

The drinks here at The Well were surprisingly delicious.

Everything was flavorful, refreshing, and really hit the spot. You can tell they put care into what they're making, and it's a great option if you're looking to try something different. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. I'm sure they'll take care of you and leave you with a drink you'll enjoy.

Rise and Grind used to be my favorite spot, I would go to them exclusively. Unfortunately, they…read morerecently changed their POS system and their rewards. Now everything is a little more expensive and the rewards don't feel rewarding. The tipping point that made me write an update is that they charge almost full price for drip coffee refills. Even starbucks offers refills on regular old black coffee. My husband used to enjoy going in to work on college or read so it was sad to not be able to refill his coffee. The espresso is still good (usually) and the pastries are good. The food items are also tasty. The seating and overall vibe is wonderful, and the workers are nice (the older staff are my fave tho!).

Grateful for Lauren's talented mixologist skills. I ordered the Mamaki with watermelon flavor! 5/5 star flavor here.

It's a cute little spot in the middle of Kailua, blink and you'll miss it. Had a hard time finding where to park, but other than that, it was a pretty simple to find location. Thank God for maps! In my head, I was thinking "drive up" like "drive thru" but I was mistaken. It's an actual walk up and order type thing. I was surprised that when you walk up to the deck area, there's a server/cashier standing outside waiting to take your order vs a walk up to the counter and order experience. Makes it feel much more customer service oriented. She explained to me the difference in all the drinks, and what I could add to each drink and what not. The matcha is pretty good! I was told that their matcha isn't naturally sweet, you need to add your own sweetness to the drink itself. The server did recommend vanilla, or brown sugar in which I opted for vanilla. That was a nice touch! Overall, the drink was good. The matcha quality is really nice. I have however, tried better. But that's just a personal preference at the end of the day. Will I be returning? If I'm in the area again, absolutely! Customer service is great, and I would love to try their coffee and other drinks. Love that I can bring my kids and they can run on the grass while I put in my order.

Logistics Breakdown: -Free Parking (I LOVE free parking), however really busy all the time. Mostly packed during peak hour. -Long lines but you'll be out in 5 mins after you place your order -Online ordering is an option if you're in a rush -Some tables, mostly occupied though They also sell cute apparel to browse while you wait. My only gripe is that it costs a bit much for what you're getting. Flavor is nice and healthy, you don't taste the chunks of dates which I appreciate. But it's still a little more on the bland side but it's good for you! The smoothie doesn't get watery fast at all, so you can enjoy it slowly. If you need a little AC since you've been beaching all day, that's the spot :)
