    Coffee truck
    Jee L.

    Who starts their day without a cup of coffee? I had always gone to Starbucks before I found this coffee truck. Now, Drive-Thru Joe is my go-to location for coffee. I love their regular-size Tuxedo coffee ($6.25). Their other drinks are fantastic, and they have some food options to accompany your drink. Bad: - They have limited food options, and I wish there were more options. - Business hours are not as military-friendly as Starbucks at the PX. Good: - As you can see from the company's name, everything happens without you getting out of the vehicle! - Various options of drinks you can select from! - Friendly staff with delicious coffee! Conclusion: Coffee and energy drinks are in our blood, and we cannot operate without them. The line may look long, but they serve quickly. Select your options from the Ice Cream series, Signatures, Energy infusion, Traditional, Alternative Classics, and Lifestyle Options. One thing to remember is that you may want to go somewhere else to grab some food.

    Possibly my new favorite coffee spot?? I've been a couple of times so far and have yet to be disappointed. I'm not aware of many other coffee trucks with drive thrus as convenient as this one on island so I'm more than happy to make the commute when I'm craving something yummy but don't feel like getting out of my car. The line may look long but it goes by pretty quickly! Make sure to check out their holiday menu when it's in season! Their Fall pumpkin drinks were amazing... I'm sure their Christmas ones will be too!

    They do walk-ups too!

    If you ever find yourself at the Commissary parking lot on Schofield base, the line of cars you'll see near the street isn't to get into the grocery store; it's to get coffee! I've had my eye on this place as I always see the line of cars waiting to get their orders in. The long line proved its popularity, but I couldn't get myself to sit in a still car with my newborn baby in the backseat (mamas, you know what I'm talking about - baby won't sleep unless there's motion in the car!) Luckily, I walked up to the counter to check out the menu, assuming it was a drive-thru only, but nope, I was pleasantly surprised to find out they take walk-ups too! The staff are so friendly and gave me recommendations on their best sellers. I got their most popular drink, Tan Line. It was definitely on the sweeter side, but it was delicious nonetheless. The workers were so patient and accommodating; they made my drink in a quick and timely manner and even offered an exchange if I wasn't satisfied with their recommendation. For the price and the size, the product was great. You could taste the richness of the coffee and it's perfect roast, nicely complimented with all the other flavors this drink had with it. Definitely a good bang for your buck, especially in comparison to other coffee shops around. While this place is already popin' in terms of business, I highly recommend this cute, army green trailer parked to the right of the Commissary. Not only are you supporting local, but you are supporting a woman-owned and woman-ran veteran business.

    This is just a temp review... I'll have to have another visit before I give my final review lol. I saw somewhere they had a smore coffee so I had to try. I always see Keri S. Having a banana bread chai drink I believe. So I'll need to get that one next. I'm not a huge fan of chai, but I have an open mind and banana bread, why not?! I have no idea what operations are like pre-covid, but its exactly as the name says. Drive thru Joe. Enter the commissary parking lot and make a right to the end to wait in line. Someone comes right up to your car to take your order, accept payment, then they run back your order when its ready. I can't give an honest opinion of the coffee. Major fail on my end. I wanted to try it so bad. I had clients scheduled in the area, so I picked up before my visits. As usual, whenever I get a coffee before work, it doesn't really get a chance to get in my belly til hours later. This was no exception. Left my drink in the car and still drank it. It was good, but I'm sure the flavors could've been way better fresh. Its not super often that I venture this way. I don't have base access so I either have a good reason with a day pass, or tag along with Mr G. Another bummer for me is the hours. Getting out this way before noon, for me, has got to be a huge anomoly! But, trust, I will make it there again to give it a fair shot!

    they are going bananas this month!!

    So it has been quite some time since this place has opened. It is my go to place for coffee. What I love the most is they change the menu up all the time! So far everything I have tried has been phenomenal. Here are my faves if you ever wonder what is good: - Hot or iced Latte with peppermint and white mocha. Ahh..it is like christmas in a cup all day, everyday. - Hot or iced Banana Nut Bread Chai. This baby is SO GOOD, it converted all my coworkers to DTJ addicts. - Caramel Creme Cold Brew Overall, I am always checking out their new coffee concoctions! They have new ones almost every month! They even have a keto coldbrew with 20g of protein. How fab is that! Anyway, if you are ever in the Schofield area, check this place out.

    Iced tan line latte
    Amy R.

    Staff was friendly and helpful. My first time they helped me pick something from the menu I might like. I got the tan line ice latte . It's my new favorite drink. I also like that my drink isn't full of ice. I hate getting ice lattes within two sips you're done because the cup is filled to the top with ice. You won't find this problem here . My drink is still cold with minimal ice.

    Any vegan options?

    They do have dairy free alternatives, not sure about the syrups

    Any chance for non military folks to try it? Thanks :)

It seems like this is not only a spot for tours, it seemed like locals and military personnel know about this place and stop by for a cup of coffee. I like how they have an actual cafe with fun drinks and muffins and pastries, which is probably what brings in local guests. They have samples of certain coffees inside the gift shop plus a lot of fun gifts. The coffee is a bit pricy but I landed on getting the coffee cake flavor. I typically do not love flavored coffee, but the sample was so good, I hope once we grind it is is as good as while being here. Some of the other dark roasts were also really good but even more expensive. If they coffee we purchased turns out to taste good, I would purchase more next time. They told us they coffee gets replaced at least once a week and they roast it fresh. I loved how you can walk through the coffee plants and see the berries. It was a beautiful little garden area and a lot of fun. It was like being on a vineyard but for coffee. And for me and my family, coffee is a daily treat.

It is a small attraction, and around 30 minutes is enough to explore, taste the coffees, and enjoy the atmosphere.

The shop is so cute inside, they have lots of surfing paintings, merch, and other things for purchase. They have some seating inside, but parking is awful. They share the parking lot with Haleiwa bowls so it's pretty small and squished.

Dubai Chocolate Frappe also sounds amazing! Second visit: I returned the following day due to humidity in afternoon. Two different employees, female and male were very attentive and provided great suggestions to my Q & A regarding White Rabbit Frappe and Hokkaido Milk Iced Tea. I chose Hokkaido with 100% Organic Coocnut Milk Iced Tea. Female employee asked me how much sweetness I wanted in my beverage. I responded, "25%" She informed me that the lowest sweetness they're able to give is 50%. I said, "Ok." Tasted perfect with a light sweetness. Beverage came in handy prior to workout. I can count on superb customer service, free parking, easy commute access, and photo op.

Multiple things went wrong during the visit. We ordered an iced mocha but received a hot mocha instead. We wanted a strawberry waffle, but they were out which was fine, so we ordered the blueberry. But then later when we followed up on the waffle, they stated they actually didn't have blueberry and only had banana. We had to follow up and remind them a couple of times for our orders: 1) We ordered a breakfast burrito and the worker forgot to put it in the oven to heat it up. It was sitting on the counter for a while, and we had to point it out to them. 2) They didn't start our waffle order right away, and we had to follow up for them to get started on it. They stated that the waffle was "going" but it was obvious that they only started working on it when we followed up. We went on a Sunday morning, and it was not busy at all. We were there for about 40 minutes waiting for the burrito and the waffle. I am generally a very patient person and would understand that mistakes can happen when there's multiple orders and things going on, but aside from one other customer who received her order pretty quickly, it was just us there so it was honestly super disappointing.
