    Menu as of Sep. 26 2018 - Yummy!
    Keahi L.

    This place is so HIP! Newly rennovated cafe apart of Windward Community College's library! Keep in mind that only drinks are allowed in the library, not the yummy pastries and sandwhiches offered here. Eat inside or outside with a beautiful view of the Ko'olau's. Connect to wifi and study here by yourself or with friends, its a great hang-out area. They have coffee, bubble teas, cappacinos, etc. Like a Starbucks! I had the Halohalo Bubble Tea with tropical jellies (no tapioca) and it was so YUMMY! New favorite menu item! They take cash or card. Staff is so friendly. They recommended me so many yummy and new menu items when I was indecisive. Great experience thanks to them. It does get busy so go when you can! (; IG: @thehubhawaii FB: Island Brews the Hub

    Located behind the library

    A cute and convenient cafe at the Windward Community College library in Kaneohe! I wish we had a place like this when I was in college... we only had vending machines! Bleh!!! There's free parking on campus! After youbpark, just follow the map to the library. Then, either go through the library or walk around to the back of the Hale La'akea building to get to The Hub. Enter the cool and contemporary environment and enjoy the soothing music. There are counter seats, tables and chairs, sofas with coffee tables, as well as outdoor seating! The friendly and efficient staff served me the following: The Spam and Egg roll - it's just right! The bread and egg balance out the spam so it's not too salty! It's enough to hold you over until your next class! The Spinach mushroom flatbread was okay. I couldn't find the spinach, but the cheese was nice and gooey! The Halohalo bubble tea was more like a smoothie with its blended ice. The boba and fruit gel made it feel like a halohalo and the taste was a subtle coconut flavor. The Lychee iced tea was refreshing and not too sweet! It gave me a much needed wake-up! The Li Hing Mui Pineapple was a guilt-free dessert... slightly tart and sweet at the same time! I appreciate the bagel cutter and toasters! My Raisin bagel with cream cheese was more enjoyable! I sure want to return - especially since the gal at the counter - Ren - remembered to ask for my Loyalty Card when I got my 2nd drink! She even tried to make a conversation with me by asking what classes I'm taking!!! How sweet of her!!!

    Convenient location & hours of business, affordable prices, variety in food & drink items, spacious seating area, & casual/trendy environment! This place is the epitome of a GREAT college campus cafe! In some ways Island Brew's The Hub goes above and beyond your typical cafe with offerings such as tropical fruit infused tea, the option of adding boba/jellies to your drink, & creative blended beverages. It is connected to the Windward Community College library - the workers are ready to fuel you up with caffeine/sugar/food to get you through your study session and the rest of your day. To explain my 4-star rating - I would like to see the customer service get to the next level. Give me something a little more than hello, order, here's your order. That would make The Hub truly excellent!

    The Hub is the coffee shop in the ultra-modern library of WCC. The staff's always friendly and the line moves pretty quickly. Sometimes they have drink specials that are written on a board. What is great about this location is that you can bring the drinks that you purchase from The Hub into the library. I'm a fan of their mango and lychee iced teas with rainbow jelly. Iced tea comes in one size that is ginormous. Pricing is comparable to SB. I've had the regular coffee a couple times and it's oookay. It does its job caffeinating me. They do have food options as well, such as bagels and muffins for breakfast, fruits, salads, sandwiches and snacks. They also have a loyalty punch card. I believe it's buy 10, get 1 drink free.

    I wish I could give half stars because I would rate this place 4.5 stars. I just rounded up. I really like the variety of drinks and food here. It's not a restaurant so don't expect really hearty foods. Frappes, Coffee, iced tea, and bubble teas. Mmmmm. Maybe they have some special, not on the menu items but I haven't checked yet. I'm satisfied with ordering iced teas. The Lychee iced tea is their signature iced tea I guess. I like the mango or Lilikoi better. The Lychee one has a strange aftertaste. Also my favorite pastry thing is the spinich and mushroom one. Today, my pastry was not warmed up enough so I asked for it to be reheated. It was still cold on the inside. Really disappointing. The Hub is connected to the school's library so it's quite convenient to your classes and the restroom. You can't bring food into the library so I suggest you eat on one of the many tables they offer in The Hub. It's very comfortable inside, good natural lighting and not too noisy.

    I came to Windward community college couple weeks ago for my classes and was very parched, and little bit hungry. My friend recommended the hub, come to find out that it's not open. I came back to the hub on several other occasions in the month June 2019 but they still have not been open. There is a sign in the door stating that in the month of June they are closed on Friday's, but they seem to be closed almost everyday of the week. This issue needs to get fixed not just for me but for the all the summer students at Windward community college.

    Loved going here before class, great vibes and drinks. Note too pricey and it's perfect if you need a little snack.

    My friend took us out here and it's a little stand in a parking lot that you drive up to (across…read morefrom windward mall). The menu is only up by the ordering area, so I would suggest using other people's photos of the menu so you have kind of an idea of what you want. I was craving lemonade so I tried the strawberry guava lemonade and it was so good! Just enough flavoring but still tart, which I really like. Can't wait to come back and try the other drinks!

    Accidentally stumbled upon this drive thru coffee shop when I initially planned to kill time at…read moreWindward Mall to wait for my lunch order at Adela's. The long line of cars intrigued me...after 11 AM, nonetheless! The wait time wasn't so bad, maybe no more than 10-15 minutes from pulling in to picking up my order. I asked the lady taking my order of their most popular coffee drinks. She mentioned their banana bread latte and a cold brew drink I forgot about, but I ended up ordering an iced vanilla latte... usually my baseline when visiting a new coffee shop. I believe good quality coffee shouldn't haven't to be masked by all sorts of flavors unless the coffee shop wants to highlight any in-house syrups and flavorings. The iced latte wasn't bad...if anything, the espresso was nice and strong! I didn't understand the long line before lunch, unless Holoholo is the best handcrafted coffee on Kaneohe, or that it's conveniently located across from Windward Mall? This is probably one of those coffee snob reviews lol... my husband makes lattes from our espresso machine every day and I'm in the middle of learning how to make lattes myself. Don't get me wrong though... if you're tight on time, but need caffeine and happen to be in Kaneohe, Holoholo hits the spot! Support local!
