    Tea and latte
    Schawnee G.

    Super affordable! The tea was only $2 the latte was a little over $5 I saw them leaving waimanalo and had to pull quickly into the parking lot to give it a try. The line moves quickly. I got a marshmallow mac nut latte and a tea but i forget which one i got. Both tasted amazing. I will deff make another trip out there for a few more drinks.

    I got the white peach li hing Red Bull and it didn't disappoint! The staff were very sweet and very quick - we got our drinks very quickly.

    We were driving to the Makapuu lighthouse pretty early one weekend morning. We were out in the country and the only place I saw for coffee was this little drive thru free standing building. I ordered a hot latte with almond milk. There were only a few cars ahead of us and it didn't take that long. The attendant was quick and efficient. The latte was extremely watered down. It came out pretty quickly so I guess it could have been a pour over. The building was cute and appeared clean. I rather support them rather than a Starbucks but I'd probably ask them next time if they do espresso vs pour overs.

    We stayed in Waimanalo and this was our regular stop for some coffee and matcha. Drink quality was consistently good, as well as fast and friendly service. Open every day confidently right off the main highway.

    Cutest drive through i've ever seen. They have literally everything: teas, red bull infusions, coffee, matcha, etc. Got the mango matcha and it was fresh, the perfect shade of green, and you can genuinely taste the mango. I want to go back and try so much more.

    Mango Matcha & Ube-flavored latte

    Such a cute little spot and perfect post-sunrise hike reward after Lanikai Pillbox I got the mango matcha--super aesthetic and refreshing, but flavor-wise I'd give it a 7/10. Not bad, just not super mind-blowing. My bf got the ube latte which was actually pretty good (8/10), but ngl you couldn't really taste the ube--more espresso-forward, which we weren't mad about. Vibes were chill, staff was sweet, and the location is so convenient if you're coming down from the hike. Cute place to grab a drink and chill before hitting the beach

    Holoholo is the newest drive through coffee/tea/redbull place in Kaneohe. They're located in Kaneohe behind Windward mall in the same parking lot as the recycling can place. While it is a drive through, they all take walk ups as well. Service has been a hit or miss which is why I gave it 4 stars. For the most part, I've gotten great service, but there have been some moments where I think the workers had hard days and they just didn't cope the best with it to the customers. HOWEVER, the drinks that I've gotten are always great and consistent in flavor and taste so that is a big plus to me! Prices are decent, but a little high to come here every day, but it's definitely a nice spot to come to a couple times a week to treat yourself to! Finally, If you drive up with children in your car, you can ask for some stickers and they'll give you a bucket to pick stickers from!

    This Holoholo coffee drive thru stand is located in the little waimanalo shopping center with the gas station, Jack in the box and Ohanas. There's a few other locations on the windward side but this one is closest to me. They're only open until 3pm or 2pm, which isn't very convenient for me because I don't wake up early enough to come in the morning.... So I come on the weekends. The girls working the line are very nice. I like the convenience of being able to sit in my car to order and get my drink. There has always been a line when I've gone, but it moves fast. You order where the menu signs are and then pull up to the honu sign so they can take other peoples orders. Then someone brings you your drink. My husband's cousin is holoholo's biggest fan and has influenced me to get the Mac nut latte with coconut cold foam. It's great. I've also had the lotus bee iced tea. I think I prefer the coffee drinks, but the tea is good too, I like the variety of flavors. They might be card only. It's faster that way. Now if only they also had food... haha.

    A drive through coffee spot that was a satisfying pit stop during our day. They have a wide variety of drinks to choose from and interestingly operate out of a storage unit on wheels. I went with a Mac nut latte that I read from these previous reviews but was not that impressed by my drink. It felt way too milky and didn't give as much of a coffee flavor as I would've liked. My husband got one of the lotus energy drinks which was delicious, more of the fruity side, and something I wish I would've gotten instead.

    There are a few locations around the island but we stopped at the Waimanalo spot. It can be seen from the road as a cute little green building. While you can drive through, which is a unique feature from a local coffee shop, there were some people who walked up to the window. The people working were friendly and efficient. They made and delivered the drinks quickly. We got a matcha and strawberry guava lemonade. The matcha was sweet but a bit too sweet for me. The lemonade was alright but a bit more on the sour side. We have heard a lot of very positive things about Holoholo so we hope to go back and try some of the other drinks.

    Holoholo was recommended by one of my daughter's friends. She had been living in Oahu for 7 months. Verdict: good suggestion. The drive-thru/walk up concept is perfect here. Service was great and our drinks came out very quickly. My Mango Matcha drink, however, was just ok. I would have preferred a more Matcha forward drink. The rest of my party enjoyed their drinks, though.

On top of that I still have to cook dinner. This stand is my huge help to get through the week. A break, a relief, a breather when I feel like I'm drowning in everyday responsibilities. It's also an encouragement to keep going because of the workers whom are sisters, husband and wife, mother and daughter, grandchildren all working hard together. Giving great service with a smile on their face and making it through the everyday daily grind together. Type of Food: Buk Buk kitchen serves different Filipino dishes that my mom enjoys but I always come for the tasty, tender, marinated to perfection bar-b-q grilled chicken. A few times they offered Hawaiian dishes and other local dishes. Here and there I mix it a bit and get a combo with the thinly sliced beef. I get the family size which perfectly feeds my boys and I. Yeah, my husband has to fend for himself. It comes with 4 generous scoops of rice, salad, and four cut up pieces of chicken for $12. Locaton: Buk Buk kitchen is associated with Mahiku farmers market.

We ordered the Spicy Shrimp and the Shrimp Scampi plates, and neither was impressive. The food came out almost instantly, which proves it is not cooked to order. Because it sits around, the shrimp is incredibly difficult to peel. Anyone who cooks shrimp knows that if you do not peel it right after cooking, the shell sticks to the meat, which was exactly the case here. The Spicy Shrimp had a decent kick, but it lacked actual flavor. The Shrimp Scampi was better but still bland. Honestly, 9 out of 10 shrimp places back home in Southern California make a better plate. To make things worse, the two ladies managing the truck were rude. My wife asked for extra napkins, not realizing some were already in the bag. The worker snapped back, "Are those not enough?" and made her feel super awkward. We also asked for a cup of ice to go with our canned sodas. They flatly refused and told us to ask another truck nearby. Luckily, the other truck owners were much nicer and gave us the ice. Save your time and money. There are much better, friendlier options out there.

With the recent flood happening at the end of March, and our trip being in early April, going to North Shore wasn't advised. While we have some great Hawaiian garlic shrimp spots in Arizona, we had to at least try to get some garlic shrimp while on Oahu. We gave this place a try just because we were already in the building. It wasn't a choice we made prior because honestly, I would have suggested trying a more well-known spot like two miles away, haha! We shared a $14 Shrimp with Original Garlic sauce on it and made it a combo with rice, a scoop of potato mac salad, and regular salad, $14 + $6. Sam's Kitchen was okay. I would have loved to have the shell-on but this place does not offer shell-on shrimp. Still, they make a decent garlic shrimp.
