    Macadamia Nut Matcha Latte
    Suri S.

    We ordered the Macadamia Nut Matcha Latte with Oat milk and Breakfast burrito. The matcha was way too sweet for us, so I would skip that. The breakfast burrito was good, it came out piping hot, filled with eggs, bacon, tater tots, spinach, feta, sour cream in a vegan tortilla with a side of guac and salsa. It was more filling than I thought! Service was nice and friendly! Would come back again to try their coffee next time.

    I love this little coffee shop! I recently tried a few items through Save a Bite and it's allowed me try things I wouldn't normally order. The strawberry matcha is delicious - that's coming from someone who doesn't even like matcha lol I've gone back and ordered it at least twice. The abc bagel is really good and I enjoyed the croissant as well! I can't wait to go back and try more things, the staff is pretty friendly and they've always gotten us in and out fairly quickly.

    Local Joe Such a great experience at Local Joe! Highly recommend the breakfast croissant and banana bread coffee both were so good! The service was warm and welcoming, and they really made you feel like you belonged. That kind of hospitality makes all the difference. Definitely worth checking out!

    Ambiance- 5 stars Food and drink- 5 stars Service- 3.5 stars I visited this coffee shop yesterday after my morning workout and this made me want to habitually discover a new coffee shop every Wednesday ! First, this spot is located on the corner of Ho'omohala and Nana Hope street near the Ho'opili community. Btw, this area blew up! Such a family friendly and cute neighborhood! Second, there is no designated parking for this coffee shop so you will have to find somewhere on the street to park. Beware, there are nparking signs across the street that indicate "No parking " so be sure to pay attention to signs. They tow! Third, the service was slow because there are only two baristas who worked as efficiently as they could so I wouldn't come here if you're in a rush to go somewhere. I ordered a large, French toast hot latte and their breakfast burrito that came with a small container of salsa. Everything was delish and believe that nothing went to waste after the calories I burned at the gym. Hehe. The French Toast latte brought back memories and felt like I was holding the season of Fall in a cup of:) Definitely recommend that you check it out if you're a coffee fan. Other seasonal beverages include the Audrey Hepburn, Royal Hawaiian Mocha and Thai latte. Spot the new stuffie?

    Cute little neighborhood coffee house. Simple menu & adequate amount of outdoor seating to get your morning going in relaxing setting. Lots of street parking right in front. They sell cute bottles of h20 as well.

    Always always a treat when getting coffee from Local Joe. The service never disappoints, the coffee is bomb and strong, and I absolutely love the gyros!!! My usual order is the Audrey Hepburn, so so good!! The coffee shop can get really busy but the workers manage to still deliver the best drinks and food. Their pastries are delicious too, I've tried the banana bread and wow, so soft and the moisture, so yummy!! Love that they offer merch, support local, and have a good amount of outdoor seating!

    Local Joe West is located in the Ho'opili community in Ewa/Kapolei. They have a nice little shop nestled in the corner of The Element condo units. French toast latte, matcha latte, and mango bread are all great! I'd also recommend trying their weekly specials on the menu if you can. Also, if you order your hot latte or coffee for here they serve it to you in a nice mug which you'll return when you're done. 4-5 dedicated parking stalls marked for Local Joe's in the Element parking lot right next to the shop. Stop by if you're out on the west side!

    Such good drinks! I love coming here for their strawberry matcha after work. I love their art and games inside as well, just wish it were bigger or had more seating.

    Grateful to have a local coffee shop right in Ho'opili! This time around my wife and I went and a jog around our neighborhood and last minute decided to stop by Local Joe's for a quick bite to eat. Fortunately, we stopped by Local Joe's to have their burrito and a latte. The staff was kind and friendly, as always. Of course, I recognize faces in the area while there. After getting our food and drinks, we sat down and enjoyed our time together. We had our daughter and goldendoodle with us, but it didn't seem to be a bother to anyone. Local Joe's has a great ambiance to enjoy your coffee. Thank you, Local Joe's. Let's support local!

    Adorable little coffee shop with a few food items. Delicious coffee!! Highly recommend stopping in and trying for yourself.

    Not so local but still local Joe. Thanks for expanding to Ewa! Well what's in Ewa? You're definitely adding to that conversation. Was looking for a late morning caffeine pick me up and I have been lifted up in so many ways. High ceilings, local art lining them and great service. Thanks Ola! Looking forward to being greeted by more of your gems and pieces in the future. Gotta peep this local treat whenever you're in the area. They have an OG location in downtown where they roast our coffee fresh, the not-so-secret secret to great coffee.

    This is a super cute coffee cafe, that have a bunch of fun flavor combinations and are reasonably priced. I got the French toast ice latte with cold foam. The best part of the drink was they offer fun pics to put on the foam. You scan the WR code, pick any pic from your phone. You will get a number. Before picking up your drink let the barista know the number and it goes in a cool machine and you end up with such a cute detail! I only gave 4 stars as I felt the coffee was a little biter. I also wish they had a low fat milk options as I cannot drink milk substitutes.

    Cool set up, but why is one of the pitchers uncovered?

    Coffee was strong but flavor was lacking. When we walked in we were greeted by a very friendly girl who was doing stuff towards the back, but the one who rang me up and made my drink didn't smile once. She saw me looking at the menu but didn't offer any suggestions or ask if I had questions. I was excited to try a different coffee place every day I am visiting, but I am disappointed I started my trip with this dud. Lesson learned.

I've seen Coffee or Tea? whenever I'm in the area but really have the hardest time finding parking at this Crossroads at Waipio complex which is probably why the limit customer parking to 30 minutes to be fair but then that leaves you little time to sit and relax as they do have some tables inside to do so. After finishing at Car Wash 808 Express I though to give it a try and was lucky enough to get a parking and knew it was meant to be as I walked in liked what I saw inside as it's nice and clean and quite spacious and had many of the snacks and treats to choose from as well. I did notice their featured drinks and the Honey & Lemon Black Tea which sounded exactly what I needed and though I'm able to adjust the sweetness and ice level as well is nice to enjoy my drink, the staff made it very fast and efficient giving me lots of time to run over to Golden Coin for some lunch as well. Love this cozy spot though the time limit does deter me from visiting here as I do like to sit and enjoy my tea sometimes as well. Thank you!

But I took my kids to another coffee truck (A Little A Latte) and like it goes with kids, they made me late. So I got here right at 10. But it's ok bc Cai.CafeX3 was just getting here. So I was a tad annoyed. But then I actually looked at the sign and it said 11am. They opened the doors right on time at 11 and took the first two customers in. I waited not even 5 more min before they let me in. Initially they were still making drinks for Jolene's staff which I think is awesome to bless their staff with a drink but it really delayed the drinks for the rest of us. They were very nice tho and kept apologizing. Wasn't a huge problem bc at the beginning of events like this you need to hit your groove. I was out of there by 11:22. The girls in front of me ordered a total of 4 drinks, and I ordered 3 drinks.... So I guess over all with all the staff drinks they had to make, and the fact that it was only one drink maker... they were still pretty quick. The line was wrapping around Jolene's so I think they will do well. I ordered the Vanilla Salted Caramel, the Strawberry Matcha Spritzer, and the Hojicha. They were only offering oat milk today, I think to manage the line, but if you go to their IG they normally offer other milks. I will need to try them again when I can choose bc I do not really like oat milk. But I do like how you can customize your sweetness level. All our drinks were good. My daughter pilfered the spritzer. Of the three the salted vanilla was the best. Their straws were cute pink heart straws that didn't photograph well in its wrapping. But my daughter says she's gonna use one on Wednesday bc it's pink lol. And we got a cute sticker too!

Getting there took us some time- A) my husband and I were driving from the Aiea area to Ewa Beach... on a Friday afternoon, and B) parking was a pain, but we were able to find street parking pretty quickly. We knew what we were getting into before our drive, and I'm so glad we did because it was well worth the trip! The ice cream shop is fairly small- can't hold a lot of people and no seating inside, but there's plenty of tables outside, and the weather outside was just perfect with some sun and a breeze! The line moves quickly, so ordering isn't a pain at all! I ordered their calamansi dreamsicle and my husband got their root beer float, and both were 10/10! I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could've tried more of their flavors (like their strawberry guava one)! First off, the calamansi dreamsicle was really refreshing and creamy; it had hints of citrus, with a lemon/orange taste, perfect for a warm summer afternoon! My husband had the root beer float, which had their house-made vanilla ice cream and root beer from Maui Brewing Company (I didn't even know they made root beer)! It was delicious as well- I loved that I was able to see little black specks of vanilla bean in the ice cream, and the root beer had hints of honey in it! My husband and I knew the root beer tasted different (in a good way), but couldn't put our finger on it until I read the ingredients and saw that honey was one of them! Super yummy!!
