    Fred (the owner) is so friendly and knowledgeable! He let us taste the beans and explained his perfected process! I loved my pumpkin Kona freeze, it was blended perfectly with just the right amount of coffee, sweetness and ice My husband didn't love his Tokyo float unfortunately, there was more ice than anything. The ice cream sat on the ice and there was very little coffee in it. We were in a rush and the line was starting to grow on our way out. I'm sure if we had mentioned this to Fred he would have been more than accommodating to make it right. Great tasting espresso and coffee tho. 10/10 recommend for the service alone

    Stopped by on a Wednesday morning before attending a meeting upstairs. It is located on the first floor in the little food court of the Dole Cannery building. Staff was kind and service was good. A little pricey, but definitely nothing out of the ordinary for a local coffee shop. I ordered an iced mocha with soy milk. It was good, but nothing spectacular. Had to give it a good stir since there was a lot of mocha sauce left at the bottom of the cup (also kinda common with iced mochas). If I ever go back I may try one of their specialty drinks instead. I don't think I would go there for the coffee shop itself, but definitely would go again if I was already there for something else!

    Fred is the owner and he is so kind and knowledgeable about coffee. I ordered a latte and americano and they were both so smooth and delicious. I hate when coffee is bitter or too acidic, but because of the way Fred air roasts the coffee beans , the beans are fragrant and not at all bitter and inedible. The coffee shop is located in the dole cannery so it's a little obscure, but definitely worth stopping by! Very clean and quaint.

    Went off the reviews & got me a Kona Mocha Freeze! It definitely hit the spot. If anyone is looking for part time work, they are hiring. They really need workers. Nice owner too!

    We love our coffees and looked forward to trying this spot. Couldn't decide between the Kona Freeze or the Tokyo Cold Brew Float. Decided to go with the float. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed with this drink. It was primarily ice that was then topped with soft serve and very little coffee. Although the soft serve was different and had good flavor, for $8 I definitely expected more and left feeling unsatisfied.

    New location and it looks great. I ordered the Bullet which is their signature coffee. The young woman asked if I wanted "collagen" added, "Huh? Am I getting a facial?" No, thanks. I went to use the bathroom and when I returned, it was ready. I don't know...the coffee was bitter and didn't taste the way it was described: drip coffee, ghee, coconut MCT oil, and vanilla. I didn't even finish it. I thought maybe drinking it with my malasadas would help but it didn't. Not sure if I'd come back. Cute shop though.

    This local supports local... Located in Dole Cannery across from the theaters one of many tenants in their food court is this delightful shop I believe is once occupied at the Ohana Hale Marketplace. Though I was craving for some coffee after an early morning appointment I couldn't resist the fact that they had matcha as well. Greeted by a delightful lady she crafted my iced matcha with almond milk perfectly and loved that bite matcha is classically known for and that it wasn't too sweet as well. Not just in latte form they also have their famous freeze which is their blended drink but as I waited for my drink I noticed that they have "Tokyo Cold Brew Float" as well since they do have soft serve affogato as well...ooooo!!!! This cozy shop is a delight as their decor does scream all things coffee but this food court setting is quite sad as the location makes it more for neighboring folks who frequents nevertheless seems to be thriving as what they serve is drink made with pride and love it since it's not overly crowded like the mall. I will be back for the float and can see why many do so as well. Thank you!

    Came across this coffee shop inside the mall across from Costco. They have macadamia nut milk which I have been looking for all over the island! The worker/ owner is very nice and gave great suggestions. I got 2 matchas and a latte and they all taste great! I prefer macadamia nut with my Matcha, it might taste a little water down I with latte if you are not used to it. But if you are normally an almond milk lover, you would like it better w Mac nut milk.

    Every single time I come home, this place is visited at least 3-5x. We love their coffee. It's toasted fresh every single day and you can absolutely taste the difference. I'm a HUGE fan of the bullet proof with mocha collagen so that tends to be my order. My sister is obsessed with the chai latte and the matcha latte isn't far behind if you're looking for something with a bit less caffeine. It is located inside the Dole Cannery which is full of history and stories. It's where pineapple used to be canned back in the day but now serves as a cool indoor/outdoor plaza with food and shops. The owner Fred is also there quite often and he is just a gem! We love bumping into him when he's here and he'll answer any coffee questions you might have. Sometimes it gets busy depending on what time you go, it might take a bit long but I'm telling you it's 110% worth it!

    I'm visiting from Cali and I Just had the greatest coffee from the island. I ordered the Kona Freeze and it was absolute magic. The owner was very knowledgeable about coffee, and overall gave me and my family the greatest service. Gave us samples of their macadamia milk. He also was so kind and gave my twins a free dole whip sample. Thank you for your outstanding service. See you on our next trip in Oahu. Mahalo

    You can smell the fresh roasted coffee beans as soon as you walk into Dole Cannery. If your not a coffee drinker, they have great options for iced or hot tea's. This time, I got the ginger tea, very overwhelming on the ginger, but the chai tea is delicious. I also got the yellow muffin which was very delicious. Service is friendly and fast.

    Kona Mocha Freeze
    Suri S.

    Three words you need to know: Kona Mocha Freeze! One of the best one I've ever had. I'm a big Kona coffee lover and this exceeded my expectations. I remember going often when they used to be at the Ohana Hale Marketplace before moving to their new location! The owner is also l friendly and the service is fairly fast too. You instantly smell the roasting of fresh coffee beans! It's a coffee lover's dream in here! Definitely come by and try their delicious coffee drinks!

    Simply amazing coffee. I feel like I am in love with the coffee beans. Hawaii has some of the best coffee. We always try different coffee and discover this cafe. Love the service and learned a lot.

The employee took it and immediately hung up on me--no name taken, no "thank you," no "goodbye." When I arrived, the parking was a mess, so I had to be dropped off. Inside, the food display looked sad, and the cashier looked completely miserable and unpresentable. While waiting patiently on the side for 15 minutes, I watched the kitchen staff preparing food. Red flag: they literally microwave their eggs instead of cooking them fresh. After 30 minutes of total waiting time, I finally went up to check on my order, only to find out the cashier hadn't even handed my ticket to the kitchen yet. She sent it back right in front of me without a single word of apology--just a blank stare. I cancelled my order on the spot. Horrible service, zero management, and low-quality food prep. Save your golden time & money and go somewhere else. Definitely not a place where I'd want my food prepared!

At one point, I genuinely thought a customer was a friend of one of the employees because their conversation felt so natural and welcoming, but they had actually just met. That's the kind of atmosphere they create. The whole shop has a warm, bubbly energy and feels very much like a neighborhood coffee spot where people know each other and enjoy being there.

They offer some interesting savory pastries, including an onion roll, which is a light roll with pieces of onion and mayonnaise, some with hot dog or sausage incorporated into the roll, and some strange (to me) rolls with corn and tuna. They sometimes offer blueberry cream cheese scones ... These are delicious, but I haven't seen them offered in a while. My favorites include the onion roll and the chicken curry doughnut.

I'll give them a 4+ rating for their pastries and a 2.5 for their "friendly" service.

Then our choice of their teas: 1oz Sakura Cherry Rose and 1oz of their Cookies and Cream, which is great with milk and sugar btw. 1oz =at least 12 pours of the tea. If you want 2oz =24 pours of tea. The sandwiches were also delicious, a cute tiny bite of flavor. Which to this day I wish I ordered more since I'm more of a savory girlie.
