So while driving about and going to the Botanical Gardens we decided we needed a treat. So we started our search and came across the SunRise Shack.

It was a great find on our adventure for the day.

Island Brew Coffeehouse in Hawaii Kai is one of my favorite places to slow down and relax. The…read morespace is beautiful, with plenty of outdoor seating and a peaceful atmosphere that's a nice escape from the busier parts of town. 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. Come for the coffee, stay for the view.

We were fine waiting but waiting 30+ minutes and overhearing their credit card machine is down was infuriating. They were with 1 customer for like 10 minutes with 3 people standing around. Only 1 guy was making the drinks. Felt so bad for him. At no point did anyone come out and say hey sorry we're having an issue with the machines cash only. Or any alternative. After 40 minutes waiting we left. Super disappointed since we had this place on our bucket list. But won't be coming back.

The coffee was clumpy and had noticeable bits of espresso or chocolate debris in the drink, which made the texture unpleasant. The worker was very nice and friendly, so I have no complaints about the service. Their indoor space felt a little crammed as customers were left confused as to where to wait for their drinks. Indoor seating is gone. There used to be a lot of space that added a lot to the ambiance and made ChadLou's feel like a cozy place to enjoy a coffee. Without it, the atmosphere just doesn't feel the same anymore.

I'm sure their matcha is good quality, that i give it props to, but it was not worth the money, and as i watched the worker whisk it, she whisked for a good 4 seconds before she poured it in the cup, leaving it lowkey grainy. Hojicha did not give off the roasted flavor, and that small drink was not worth it.

It was a Friday morning and parking was pretty difficult to find since all the street parking was full, but we were willing to make the effort for a nice drink. The seating area was nice, and we were greeted warmly by the staff, which made the place seem promising. However, as soon as we saw the dull green color of our matcha latte, we could tell it wasn't very good quality. When we tried it, the matcha flavor was lacking and it tasted mostly like milk. My friends got the mango matcha and strawberry matcha, but the strawberry puree tasted a bit off. Unfortunately, we really wanted to like this place, but the matcha was disappointing.

But seriously, you can end whatever decision making process you have at this moment. They have it all at KP Market (I'm not sure if anyone calls it this, but I do now). Sandwiches, burgers, poke, bowls of various types, coffee, all kinds of bevs. Anything that you could desire to keep you sustained during a day of sun burns and big waves. I can't recall the names of the bowls that we got, but they were exactly what we were looking for. Incredibly generous portions at reasonable prices, and the highest quality of ingredients. I'm pretty sure they gave me an entire fish, and I ate the whole thing. The garlic shrimp that fantastic, and smothered in that buttery-garlic goodness. The star of the show were the accompaniments that brought the whole bowls together. The ube was flavorful and added a great texture. The kimchi was a nice add too, giving these dishes a bite to balance things out. And the sauces were nice, but not overpowering. I'm pretty sure there are a few KP markets around, and you should stop here before whatever adventure awaits for you in Hawaii. I even bought a shirt because this place was so dope.
