While visiting Hawaii we were out exploring different parts of the islands when what we had planned…read morefor the afternoon was closed to our surprise. 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. This was a great find and really refreshing at the same time. We had 5 different treats and each one of us enjoyed them and felt refreshed and fueled up for the rest of the day. It was a great find on our adventure for the day.

Want a nice healthy treat? This is the place. I'm all bout…read moreefficiency and getting the rundown before I go places so here we go... Logistics Breakdown: -Free Parking (I LOVE free parking), however really busy all the time. Mostly packed during peak hour. -Long lines but you'll be out in 5 mins after you place your order -Online ordering is an option if you're in a rush -Some tables, mostly occupied though They also sell cute apparel to browse while you wait. My only gripe is that it costs a bit much for what you're getting. Flavor is nice and healthy, you don't taste the chunks of dates which I appreciate. But it's still a little more on the bland side but it's good for you! The smoothie doesn't get watery fast at all, so you can enjoy it slowly. If you need a little AC since you've been beaching all day, that's the spot :)

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.

This one was a bit more bitter. Bonus stars for the free wifi available and beautiful ambiance to chill. This place does get busy I saw a line forming out the door. There are two levels of seating so you can also make your way upstairs to settle there if there is no space downstairs. I heard the food is popular here as well. Haven't made my way to their Kakaako location, but I always pass by and it's very busy as well. If you're in the area it's worth a visit if you need a place to rest.

My only issue was some guy was on the street smoking, and I just happened to be downwind. Other than that, looking forward to returning! Mahalo Chad!

I expected it to be good, but wow - this place is AMAZING. Upon entering their cafe you are greeted by an amazing curation of plants lining an outdoor seating area. I can see this being such a wonderful area to relax and hold outdoor events. The sunshade over the outdoor area really represents the thought that was put into it for patrons of their cafe. The drinks were absolutely perfect and some of the best I have had on-island - and I go to a lot of cafes. This was just next level and they know exactly what they are doing. The barista who took our order (Kaya) was so gracious to explain and recommend what drinks would be great to try for a first-timer. I opted for the ceremonial grade matcha Wakaba (hot) no sugar, no milk, just straight matcha, and my dad got the pour-over (hot) Kau Delvin Navarro Pacamara Washed. Both drinks were excellent in addition to the signature Matcha Basque Cheesecake which paired perfectly with the drinks. My matcha was extremely smooth and paired perfect with the cheesecake. My dad's pour-over drink changed flavors as you kept drinking it. Definitely next-level stuff. This was honestly one of the best cafe experiences I have had so far and I hope I can come here more often because it has earned its spot as one of my most favorite cafes on-island.

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!
