    When I tell you this coffee stand (drive through) it's worth the drive 30 minutes from Honolulu, it's worth the drive. You can just see the silky, creamy texture in my photo. It tasted just as luxurious. Wish I remembered what I ordered but everything we got was 10/10. Since it's a drive through only, there could be a wait.

    Decided to walk over here after brunch at Cinnamon's and it wasn't busy. I tried the mango matcha and others got iced tea or cold brews. The matcha wasn't super strong but the mango puree and milk was yummy but a little on the sweeter side and hard to incorporate. The drink itself was pretty large and I got oat milk for $1 more. The iced tea flavors all sound great so I may try those in the future! There is limited seating and parking is available nearby on the streets or in the lot across the street. It seems easy to drive up to order and grab a drink if you're in the area! The girls working were really friendly and it was really fast!

    While looking for a coffee place this morning, we drove thru a back road and happened across Holoholo. A cute green and white cart parked on a small grassy area set back off the road. The metered stalls immediately fronting and across the street were already occupied so we turned down another road and quickly found another spot to park just a few minutes walk away. There are a few picnic tables out front which were occupied by customers enjoying their drinks, and a short line of people waiting. The cute girl made quick work of not only taking orders but running drinks out to waiting customers. The hand held machine sends orders directly into the cart and processes payments, so efficient! Our drinks were ready within just a few minutes. We ordered: Americano 12 oz ($4) - perfect temp to drink immediately, no bitterness, pretty good overall Chai Latte 12 oz ($5) w/coconut milk (+$1) - perfect temp, flavor and sweetness, quite cozy and delicious! Constant flow of customers walking up to get drinks or nibbles (they have scones and banana bread too), and I noticed a container of doggie treats for their 4-legged guests. Happy to have stumbled across this cute and friendly cart, heard their Kaneohe cart is a drive thru and super busy, so they're doing something right!

    If you're looking for an alternative to the chain coffee shops, Holoholo Drive Through is a great option. The coffee is solid and the service is consistently friendly. Street parking only, but we had no trouble finding a spot. Always happy to support local businesses.

    Holoholo on down... To Kailua to this gem on Maluniu Street but don't blink or you'll miss this cute little green trailer serving up some refreshing crafted drinks. So excited after a good drive from town on this hot summer day that I was so ready for a sip and after scanning over their huge menu offerings of various coffee and teas it was their Lotus Energy drink and what is it....? Lotus is a healthier plant based energy drink and what an option to have such choices. Service here is just a delight as the staff walked up to us as our indecisiveness took over and answered all our questions making it an easy decision for me it was the "Pretty in Pink" a Watermelon and Lemon Lotus drink that was a bit tart but exactly what I needed and though it came in a huge cup I did sipped it all up. The vibe here is just nice and relaxing and is why I love the drive to Kailua, lots of street parking and easy to access making it the perfect place to escape. Thank you!

    Mango matcha

    The mango matcha was delicious. I thought it would be too much milk but it was the perfect ratio. The drive through lady was so nice and would definitely make a return for this.

    If you see that green little shack, stop for a drink. Staff are welcoming & helpful! Order their Macnut vanilla or Macnut white chocolate iced coffee w/ Macnut cold foam! Or iced matcha w/vanilla! They have a variety of flavors so create your own. So good. Will be back.

    I was having brunch next door and didn't realize that there was another Holo Holo truck in Kailua! We were able to find street parking right outside the truck on a Sunday. I ordered the lilikoi iced tea, which was only $2! I feel like you can never find drinks that are that cheap nowadays. The tea had a nice fruitiness to it. Service was friendly and extremely fast.

    Stopped by here with a friend yesterday around 10 am (on a Tuesday). The new location on Maluniu is no longer drive thru which makes it slightly less convenient. There's street parking (not a ton) but you'll have to walk up and order. Nevertheless, we were greeted with a friendly smile as soon as we walked up to the shop. There's a few tables outside if you'd like to enjoy your coffee there. Not a lot of shade though. I had the iced white mocha latte, which was recommended by staff. He also suggested I could order it half sweet, which ended up being perfect. Subbed it with oat milk. Drinks were good! My friend had her latte with regular sweetness which was a noticeable difference in sweetness levels. Also felt great to support local! These locations are slightly out of the way for me but will definitely make it a point to stop by when I'm in the area. Hoping they'll find a spot for easy drive thru access!

    Went on a Friday around 9AM, had a few cars in front but it honestly didn't take that long, probably waited 5 minutes then ordered, drinks were made fast too! The drinks we ordered were gooood! definitely will come back to try different drinks!

    So, I picked up lunch from waimanalo poke shop and stupid me, forgot a drink. I needed to wash down my lunch and was lazy for get out the car, and how perfect was this holoholo drive thru espresso!!! It's a cute drive thru. As you drive up, right in front, get the big readable board menus and the girl who takes your order and collect payment. They have a variety of drinks from cold brews, to espresso's, latte's, redbull infusions, lotus energy, and they have a little keiki menu and a small bucket of dog treats and lollipops. Love how they don't leave the babies out, 2 or 4 legged. Any way, I ordered the iced matcha latte and she goes would you like any flavor? Lol I said I don't know, no. I looked at the flavor list and don't know what flavor to add assuming the drink already going have a nice sweet matcha flavor. But I was wrong. Next time I'll add flavor. Any way, go check them out if you stay in Nalo. They stay in the same vicinity as Jack in the box, ohanas, next to hele gas station. Cute, convenient, espresso drive thru.

    Strawberry Matcha Latte

    Finally got to try this place after seeing it on social media for a few months now! Made the trip out to Kailua & it was worth it. I tried the strawberry matcha latte & it was delicious. My total came out to about $10 with a switch of whole milk to oat milk. A little pricey but still delicious & it was a good size. Service was quick & the truck itself was very cute. Will definitely be back to try other drinks very soon!

    Such a great coffee spot!! They have picnic tables outside for seating or you can drive through. We got the cold brew Kukane and the chai latte, both were delicious. Plus everyone was so friendly!! 10/10 recommend!!

One of the best parts is being able to sit by the water and watch the boats come and go while enjoying your coffee. It feels calm and unhurried, making it a great spot to catch up with friends, get some work done, or simply enjoy a quiet morning. They also have an impressive pastry selection and a wide variety of drink options, so there's something for everyone. The service is consistently friendly and efficient as well. The staff are welcoming, and even when the café is busy, orders come out surprisingly quickly. Between the waterfront views, relaxing ambiance, great menu selection, and excellent service, Island Brew is definitely a place I'd recommend to both locals and visitors looking for a laid-back coffee shop experience.

The only complaint I had was the people vaping right next to use and they didn't seem to care or see it as problem.
