My first time enjoying Nana's Green Tea was in Las Vegas. It is easily one of my favorite places for café food and dessert. So, when I saw this one in the Stix basement of eateries, I was delighted to to try their current specialty parfait. Indeed, a big hit with the people I was with that day. My friends and I went back several times during our vacation as it was a great way to get out of the heat and relax for a while. read more

I kept hearing about this place and finally got a chance to try it when I was in the Waikiki area. Located in the Waikiki Shopping Plaza, it is located downstairs by the restrooms. We came here on a very hot sunny Saturday, craving for a refreshing treat. I ordered the Matcha Shiratoma Float which is made with matcha green tea, matcha ice cream, and topped with mochi balls. This drink did not disappoint! It was not overly sweet and had a very rich matcha flavoring. It was so filling that I couldn't finish it all at once. We got here a little before they opened at 11:00 AM and there was already a line! Can't wait to try the other flavors. It's a great refreshment to get while walking around Waikiki on a hot sunny day. Might also want to take advantage of the AC and sit at the tables inside the food court. read more

I got sucked in by my fellow yelpers again. You all are too generous with your ratings. The quality of their matcha was not premium. I personally prefer matcha from kyoto with a deep green tea aroma flavor. The texture on the mochi was not chewy as it should be. read more

Fire. I tried Nana's for the first time in Tokyo and remember it being one of the best iced matchas I've consumed. They did it again at this location and it tasted the same. Their matcha is nutty and has that thick creaminess that makes for the best iced matchas. Service was super quick too. read more

I love visiting here when I'm in Waikiki. It's not the most convenient for me since I need to find parking, then walk here, but recently I've been having lunch/dinner at Stix Asia and then having this for dessert. I discovered that you can park in the structure, and I think it's free parking for the first 2 (?) hours with validation. The service is quick even though the line can be long sometimes. There are places to sit inside or right outside. I usually get the same thing - Matcha soft serve with the kinako mochi. So delicious. read more

Located inside a food hall, I came across this spot while looking for dessert. I ordered the matcha/vanilla soft serve and added mochi. It was very flavorful, and the mochi was soooo soft. You could tell it was made fresh that day. The matcha flavor was strong, which I really liked. Service was quick and friendly. It's a small stand, so it's more of an order-and-go setup, but there are plenty of tables inside the food hall. read more

Literally my favorite green tea place follows me when I travel. Stumbled upon this on Yelp when looking for restaurants in Honolulu and practically cried when I saw this was there. We came 2 days in a row. I first ordered the matcha parfait which is a must. Such good flavors and textures, highly recommend. I also ordered the brown sugar matcha latte which was so delicious and a great not-too-sweet drink. I did also try the matcha soda on a whim because I was feeling brave....don't think I'll ever order that again. Not your typical drink lol Everything else though is a must try for sure. So happy I found this place in the Stix Food Court! read more

Was craving some hojicha soft serve so I ended up here after a day out in waikiki. The parfait looked super good and luckily I was with my wife so we could split it. The size of this dessert is way more than I could finish on my own. We decided to go for the shiratama parfait vs the warabimochi. Both are mochis, but the shiratama is plain and the warabimochi is dusted and flavored. We figured that the parfait already had a lot going on and didnt need the extra flavor. In hindsight I would say that the additional flavor wouldnt have hurt. The parfait itself is really good especially the hojicha icream part. I wish it came ina different container that made it easier to mix. It was hard to and so we had to eat the ingredients fairly seperate. I think it would have been nice to especially break up the chunk of vanilla soft serve in the middle. Overall tho, it was delicious and really hit the spot! read more

Even though I ate plenty of awesome and delicious things the last time I visited Honolulu, there were a few places in particular that managed to leave a lasting impression on me. Chief among then were a couple of well known gems, Side Street Inn and Tonkatsu Tamafuji, Nana's Green Tea wasn't all that far behind! Somewhat surprising, given how it's a mini-chain of sorts, but who cares when the food tastes this good! Since I only tried a spoonful of Nana's Green Tea's matcha the last time I was here, I never bothered to write a review. However, that spoonful was more than enough to make coming back an absolute must during this trip. Located at the center of the Stix Asia food hall, everything about this place looked the same as I remember. Most importantly, the menu still had the same intriguing collection of matcha, hojicha, and azuki varieties of their lattes, soft serve, and parfaits, as well as a few seasonal items. However, as appealing as all of them sounded, I knew before we even arrived which matcha treat I was going to get! -- MATCHA WARABIMOCHI PARFAIT - Matcha Pudding, Matcha Ice Cream, Vanilla Soft Serve, Red Bean Paste, Warabimochi (Jelly Mochi), Corn Flakes Cereal, and Whipped Cream...$12.50 This was even better than I remember! The pudding and the ice cream each had a lot of matcha to it that was both well complemented and tempered by the serve and the red bean paste. Also, the warabimochi had a nice chew while the cereal added a nice crunch. DELICIOUS! -- YUZU & BLACK TEA PARFAIT - Yuzu Juice, Lemon Sorbet, Vanilla Soft Serve, Black Tea Jelly, Shiratama (Mochi Dumplings), Corn Flakes Cereal, and Whipped Cream...$14 The Matcha Warabimochi was better, but this was still pretty solid in its own right. On the plus side, I loved the Shiratama (so chewy!), the black tea jelly, and the taste of the yuzu juice. However, between the juice and the ice cream, all that citrusy tartness got to be a bit much. In addition to how both parfaits just tasted so good, the other thing that impressed me about them was how neither was overly. To be clear, that's not to say that they aren't sweet; it's just that they weren't as sugary as one might expect them to be at first sight. If it's still a potential concern, though, getting this without whipped cream would be an easy modification, as it didn't really add anything for me. Even with summer passing and the weather cooling ever so slightly, Nana's Green Tea is still the perfect choice if you're looking for a cold, sweet treat. It's great to know they have other locations sprinkled in other parts of the country, as well as Canada and abroad, but, sadly, none are anywhere close to me. I guess that just means I'll have to keep coming back to Hawaii for more. Oh darn... read more

I love nana's hojicha soft serve! I'm a frequent matcha consumer since I don't drink coffee anymore and hojicha is a nice alternative. The soft serve is super refreshing and the perfect sweet treat. Always find myself coming here especially if I'm having a meal in the STIX food hall. Cone or cup is the same price here which is nice as well since a lot of places will charge extra for a waffle cone. read more

Everything goes so well together, I want this more often than not!" Staff: friendly Interior: some table seating across, sell gelato next to them Exterior: located at Stix Asia in the center entrance Wait time: 5-10 mins Parking: Waikiki Shopping Plaza garage Overall comments: if I'm not having their soft serve in a cone, I for sure get their parfait. You get the strong matcha in the ice cream, syrup, n' most def in the jello. Then it's paired with the creamy vanilla soft serve n' light whipped cream. Combined is a balance of bold n' sweet flavors. On top of that you get a variety of textures. Soft n' chewy from the mochi. Crunch from the cereal flakes. Paste consistency from the azuki. The layers of each item come together perfectly n' is so very yuMmmy! read more

Matcha Cafe Maiko has always been my go to for matcha soft serve on the island, but this time around I wanted to give Nana's Green Tea a chance. I've only had their matcha latte in the past and it didn't wow me since I was unaware it would come unsweetened. I 100% enjoyed the matcha soft serve. You can get it in a cup or cone. The shiratama were chewy and bouncy. The addition of the azuki was a nice touch that complimented the matcha. If you're a local, they offer Kama'aina discount by showing your Hawaii id. Service was quick with ordering and preparing your order. They have a handful of tables where you can sit to enjoy your treat. Located inside Stix Asia food court in the back. read more

We often end up at Nana's for dessert because (1) they are still open by the time we finish dinner and (2) their matcha is good! It's not overly sweet and perfect if you're a matcha fan. I love getting mine with the warabi mochi topping. The mochi is super soft and glassy and the syrup pairs well. It's located in the Stix food court. The building they're in does validate but I think you need to spend $35 (which works if you're with a group and/or get dinner here too). There's some open shared seating to enjoy your food. They also do a kamaaina discount if you show your ID! read more

Nana's Green Tea is one of my favorite matcha shops on the island! I know it's a chain but it's definitely well known for a reason. Located in Stix Asia, they offer two hour validated parking with a purchase of $30 or more if I remember correctly. Nana's Green Tea also offers a 5% kama'aina discount. There's also tables right in front of their storefront but if there are no seats then there are tables available right outside the food hall as well.They have really delicious matcha that has a nice prominent matcha taste if that's what you're into. I do enjoy a matcha that's on the sweeter side so if I order their latte, I'll get the one with vanilla soft serve and it's the perfect vanilla matcha latte! Their matcha soft serves (specifically the one that's mixed with vanilla) is perfection! I highly recommend checking this place out for some matcha if you're in the area! read more

I was searching for good matcha in Waikiki and stumbled upon this place located in the STIX eatery which is new and clean. The matcha itself is very concentrated and strong! It's more of a bitter taste and less sweet/umami, but I still enjoyed it. Thank you Imani (I apologize if I butchered spelling) for your wonderful service! I didn't realize the matcha came without sweetener and she was so patient with me as we added more to my liking. Kind interactions like this keep the world going round. read more

They sell hojicha powder for those who like to make hojicha! The nana's in Japan sell the sweetened matcha powder so I was hoping to see that here as well.

Hands down, the best matcha I've ever had and I've had plenty, including in Japan. This place surprised me so much and it completely blew me away. The quality, the flavor, the smoothness of the drink, everything was spot on. It instantly took me back to the drinks I had when I visited in Tokyo. It's a cozy little store tucked downstairs. Trust me, it's worth finding. The service was quick, friendly, and efficient, and the prices were totally fair for the quality you're getting. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would.

The dough is soft and airy on the inside and the shell is slightly crispy and chewy. SO GOOD! I get it cinnamon sugar coated with custard filling and for fruit fillings get the lihing coating. Ube Butter Mochi $3.85 - Ube flavor was medium strength. Mochi was soft and really good after reheating in airfryer. Slight crunchy top layer was really good. 10/10 Custard - very rich and creamy. not too sweet and it's packed! 10/10 Seasonal mango - Mango flavor was so good and did not taste artificial. Highly rec!

I tried Dobash and the original at a mobile by Windward mall. The food took a while to get but totally worth the wait. The malasadas were nice and warm. I also visited the bakery and tried the guava, macadamia nut, cinnamon, the special of the month (blueberry) and I wanted to try the custard but they accidentally gave me one with no filling . Even though they mixed up the custard one, the other flavors were great. The service was faster at the main bakery. I learned that they also serve coffee so next time I'll head there and try the coffee too. Totally recommend going and trying all the flavors if you can. Heads up that there is no seating so prepare to pick up and go. Also, the parking lot is pretty small so I recommend parking in the Safeway parking lot across the street. It's a mini shopping center so should be okay to park at for a quick stop.

I have been to several Malasada places in Hawaii but | love…read morethere's the best for the following reasons: 1. the size of the malasadas: some restaurants tend to make their Malasadas smaller and when places do this it ruins the overall texture and quality of it. The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around! I'm trying to remember but I think there was a book off that was not too far from here! If you either drive or maybe walk. Service: staff was super helpful and friendly while I was there. I was having an issue with my online order because my phone was being glitchy and they were so nice in helping :) Also wanted to note their branding is so cute!! They even sell merch items too

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9). Truth be told, it stole the show from the malasadas. FOOD - 4 stars... the malasadas were good, but that ube dessert was next level AMBIANCE - 4 stars...really a takeout operation with a lot of temptations SERVICE - 4 stars...very calm and orderly TOTAL - 4 stars...yet another spot for sweet Hawaiian decadence RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

Standard generous portion for a bingsu location, notably generous for an Ala Moana location. The location itself was free of insects despite being on a ground floor location with sugary desserts everywhere. Meh: The $14 (including 15% tip) dessert tasted too light and ice-like and appeared more translucent (rather than opaque white) than expected, leading me to think the milk was watered down, which may be how the establishment can make up the cost for the portion size while maintaining a spot in Ala Moana, especially given milk prices in Hawai'i, even if you're buying from Costco or direct from farmers. Also, tables were not cleaned after each party departed; that transparent puddle on your table might not be condensation and may instead be drool drops from the toddler who sat there before you. Overall: Good (not outstanding) experience. Knocked off 2 stars for combination of suspected diluted milk + unclean tables.

You can't help but notice the line…read more Staying directly across the street from the bakery gave me a front-row seat to its daily ritual. Every morning, without fail, people gathered outside waiting patiently for pastries. No flashy signs. No gimmicks. Just quiet consistency. That alone intrigued me. By the second day, my mind was made up. I'm an early riser, so the plan was simple: go on my usual morning run and arrive before the rush. Japanese culture and craftsmanship have long fascinated me. Through close friends with family roots tracing back to Japan, I've developed a deep appreciation for the culture -- the discipline, the rituals, the precision, and the respect for process. There's a beauty in the intentional pace at which things are done. Nothing rushed. Nothing careless. This bakery embodied that philosophy perfectly. The space itself was small, modest, and aromatic. No overdesigned interiors. No influencer bait. Just the comforting smell of fresh bread and butter hanging in the air. Some bakeries hide behind elaborate architecture and presentation, but this place understood something more important: when the product is exceptional, the product becomes the attraction. The pastries ranged from playful and charming to elegant and refined. The Salt & Butter bread was an instant staple -- savory, warm, and impossibly light. The dough practically dissolved like air. Thankfully, nothing felt overly heavy, because I completely lost control of my ordering strategy. The Kobo Kuma -- a soft bear-shaped bun filled with homemade vanilla bean custard -- was perfection. Equal parts cute and comforting. The Cinnamon Roll was solid, but the Haupia pastry completely stole the show. For those unfamiliar, Haupia is a traditional Hawaiian coconut pudding found throughout Polynesia. The flavor here was subtle yet lingering, delicate without disappearing. The kind of flavor that quietly stays with you long after the last bite. Then came the Blueberry Danish -- beautiful, buttery, and perfectly sweet. I didn't even make it to the savory options this time, which honestly just gives me another reason to return. And I absolutely will -- whether back here in Hawaii or perhaps at one of their mainland locations in Los Angeles. Some places become popular because of hype. Others because of quality. This bakery earned its line.

The mud pie was like coffee ice cream with pieces of chocolate blended in. It was accompanied with watermelon, grapes and mochi. The green tea had a condensed milk drizzle accompanied with grapes, cantaloupe and mochi. Our order came out quite quickly and we were fortunate to get a table. All the tables were taken with a line forming. This is even while it's raining outside. I'm not one really looking for ambiance. It's just filled with people chatting with each other in a full house. I enjoyed it but it's not the same as having a real mud pie. Craving satisfied but not fulfilled.
