My friend got the strawberry French toast and ate it so quickly! We also got a side of pancakes, and my absolute favorite was the cookie butter pancakes -- they were SO good. Everyone was completely satisfied with everything we ordered, and I couldn't believe how fast the food came out -- 10 minutes or less! The macadamia nut coffee was delicious too, and they even had a whole selection of coffee creamers right on the table, which was such a great touch. Great food, huge portions, super fast service, and everything we tried was delicious. We'll definitely be back!

They close at 2 so you have to find that sweet spot in the time to arrive to assure you're not waiting too long or are even able to get a table. The alternative is to do takeout which is just as good! It's fast, and the food is just as good at home as it is in the restaurant. The prices are reasonable, being that you're getting a great meal with good ingredients and supporting a nice little local business spot. Our food costs were $25-$19 per meal and it was worth it. Super tasty, and especially loved the chorizo gravy on the country fried steak!

The food and drinks were really good: -Island Style Plate: Very fresh and satisfying, complete with eggs, savory portuguese sausage, fresh papaya, avocado, a side salad, and grilled asparagus. -Braised Beef Loco Moco: Super rich and flavorful comfort food with tender braised beef and fluffy eggs over rice. Drinks: The iced matcha latte was smooth and perfectly balanced, and the mango smoothie was refreshingly sweet and vibrant. Definitely a 5-star visit--we'll certainly be coming back.

My husband and I started with a beer and a cocktail with the crab artichoke dip. The appetizer was delicious and hot. We ran out of bread and were able to get another serving of house bread easily and quickly. Beers tried were: Howzit's Hawaiian Time, and Hana Koa's Rice Breaker x2. He enjoyed both. Cocktails tried were: Thai Gimlet, Doctor's Orders, and a tequila cocktail that a regular suggested a float of mezcal with. All were delicious, unique, and approachable. I've managed a few bars, and I can say with full confidence that their cocktails are fairly and affordably priced, delicious and well built. For our entrees, we enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan (husband) and Seafood pan roast. My husband left nothing on his plate, and I asked for a takeout container for the remnants of my sauce- it was THAT GOOD. Our experience, dishes, and beverages from Kalapawai Kapolei has always left us happy and full, the staff is why we keep coming back. Props to everyone and thank you for our wonderful experience on our rare night out

While in the neighborhood on this morning. 7/26/3026 I stopped by Local Joe. Unsure of what I was…read moregetting for my morning cup of coffee. It was a busy morning at Local Joes. It's great to see their cups are being filled with business. Soon as I walked in I was greeted & was helped immediately. The lady who took my order was very pleasant and greeted me with a smile. For myself I ordered an iced white chocolate mocha large. Came with 4 shots of espresso and choice of milk. I got it with heavy cream. Let me say it was made perfect! A little sweet but not overly sweet. Great balance of the espresso and sweetness. I'll definitely order this again. Cute little coffee shop. I noticed there were a few table games to play inside while you wait or enjoy your drink/food. There's outdoor seating and on street parking. Other parking stalls are located on the side of the swimming pool marked. "Local Joe." In hunt for a new coffee spot? Stop by Local Joes in Ho'opili & Support local.

This cafe is best to enter through the lobby (if you're not a guest there) The staff is nice and at 7am, there's not really a line so I would suggest going early. They have your usual selection of drinks and definitely a little pricier than Starbucks but I think it's convenient if you're staying at any of the hotels at the KoOlina Bay. The main thing to note about this cafe is the ambiance. 10/10 views and it's so relaxing and calming just sitting on the chairs that overlook the ocean.

Disclaimer: I have a high quality preference for coffee…read more The coffee was overpriced and unfortunately made. Watery, no texture, no flavor from the beans at all. The pastries were ok.

Ambiance is great as it is in Four Seasons.

Disappointing visit -- left with no coffee…read more I love supporting small, local businesses, but my visit today was really disappointing. I waited in line in the direct sun for over 20 minutes, only to find out the espresso machine had overheated. With only one person working inside the small van, the orders backed up, and I ultimately had to leave empty-handed with my time wasted. I understand running a mobile setup in the heat with a single barista is tough, but managing order capacity and having a setup for the heat (or equipment cooling) is essential. Hoping they can streamline their process and gear for peak hours, because I'd still love to see local spots like this succeed.

But I took my kids to another coffee truck (A Little A Latte) and like it goes with kids, they made me late. So I got here right at 10. But it's ok bc Cai.CafeX3 was just getting here. So I was a tad annoyed. But then I actually looked at the sign and it said 11am. They opened the doors right on time at 11 and took the first two customers in. I waited not even 5 more min before they let me in. Initially they were still making drinks for Jolene's staff which I think is awesome to bless their staff with a drink but it really delayed the drinks for the rest of us. They were very nice tho and kept apologizing. Wasn't a huge problem bc at the beginning of events like this you need to hit your groove. I was out of there by 11:22. The girls in front of me ordered a total of 4 drinks, and I ordered 3 drinks.... So I guess over all with all the staff drinks they had to make, and the fact that it was only one drink maker... they were still pretty quick. The line was wrapping around Jolene's so I think they will do well. I ordered the Vanilla Salted Caramel, the Strawberry Matcha Spritzer, and the Hojicha. They were only offering oat milk today, I think to manage the line, but if you go to their IG they normally offer other milks. I will need to try them again when I can choose bc I do not really like oat milk. But I do like how you can customize your sweetness level. All our drinks were good. My daughter pilfered the spritzer. Of the three the salted vanilla was the best. Their straws were cute pink heart straws that didn't photograph well in its wrapping. But my daughter says she's gonna use one on Wednesday bc it's pink lol. And we got a cute sticker too!

The ladies were really nice and helpful, but I wasn't really impressed with my drink. It was about $8 because it was a speciality drink. Since it's the summer I would assume that the mango would be sweet, but it wasn't. And the combination with the matcha was a bit off. The matcha itself tasted like it was more milk than matcha so I was disappointed. I want to go back and give it another go.

If you're looking for a delicious ice cream place with local flavors, you need to stop by and try…read moreSage Creamery! Getting there took us some time- A) my husband and I were driving from the Aiea area to Ewa Beach... on a Friday afternoon, and B) parking was a pain, but we were able to find street parking pretty quickly. We knew what we were getting into before our drive, and I'm so glad we did because it was well worth the trip! The ice cream shop is fairly small- can't hold a lot of people and no seating inside, but there's plenty of tables outside, and the weather outside was just perfect with some sun and a breeze! The line moves quickly, so ordering isn't a pain at all! I ordered their calamansi dreamsicle and my husband got their root beer float, and both were 10/10! I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could've tried more of their flavors (like their strawberry guava one)! First off, the calamansi dreamsicle was really refreshing and creamy; it had hints of citrus, with a lemon/orange taste, perfect for a warm summer afternoon! My husband had the root beer float, which had their house-made vanilla ice cream and root beer from Maui Brewing Company (I didn't even know they made root beer)! It was delicious as well- I loved that I was able to see little black specks of vanilla bean in the ice cream, and the root beer had hints of honey in it! My husband and I knew the root beer tasted different (in a good way), but couldn't put our finger on it until I read the ingredients and saw that honey was one of them! Super yummy!! All in all, my husband and I agreed that we'll be coming back again to try different flavors!

Street parking is available but difficult to come by near the store. They are in a plaza on the corner of Hoomohala Avenue and Kauluakoko Street. Domino's is a neighboring tenant. Small inside...but there are tables outside the storefront. They offer beverages: lattes and such. But I was here for Sage's ice cream. A single scoop is $6; double is $9; a pint is $14. Got a single scoop of one of their signature flavors, Kaua'i Kulolo. Fantastic with bits of kulolo imbeded in each sweet and creamy scoop. Hours are from 12 noon till 800p, from Wednesday thru Friday. Weekends they operate from 800a to 800p. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
