    Matchata Matcha
    Michelle D.

    Been wanting to try a new matcha spot for awhile and came across this place. Parking is rough - could do street parking but I didn't have the patience to wait for one to open up. Instead, I parked at h mart and walked over. Was it worth the walk? Absolutely. It was really hott but the drink was a nice reward. I already knew what I wanted because I never had it before anywhere else - machata matcha. I was craving for something cold and sweet...this was a winner.

    Refreshing beverage in Kaka'ako, Honolulu, Hawai'i... I was driving around the Kaka'ako area and saw a line for this Food Truck. I remembered that Ohana Hui Cafe had great reviews. The obstacle was parking. I kind of made my own space in the free shared parking lot where the truck is situated. Service was very friendly and efficient. I wanted to ask the young gal about her Maryknoll School shirt, but I didn't want to take time away from other customers. I'll go back and ask... LOL! I ordered a Strawberry Matcha (delicious and beautiful) and took a photo along the sidewalk where other customers commented on the photo layout... haha! Cony and Brown are famous! Anyway, go check out this small local business. They're serving up some good things!

    FANTASTIC IF you can have dairy!!!!! High quality matcha lattes for ~$9-$10. All of their fun flavors come from their cold foam! So if you cannot have dairy, stick with the Pau Hana (regular matcha latte). If you can indulge, their earl grey and calamansi matchas were so creamy and still plenty green after mixing in the cold foam! Unfortunately they were out of some flavors and the parking situation is a bit sticky (shared parking with Anytime Fitness or street parking). Overall good flavors!

    This is my favorite spot when I'm craving a sweeter matcha. If you like your matcha to taste more like a dessert than a super earthy tea, you'll probably love it here. My favorites are the Einspanner Matcha and the Banana Matcha. The Einspanner has an amazing sweet cream foam that pairs so well with the matcha. Just make sure to give it a really good stir because a lot of the matcha is on the side of the cup. The Banana Matcha was also sooo good. It tasted like real banana instead of artificial banana flavor, and the sweetness was just right. I also appreciate that they don't pack the cup with a ton of ice, so you actually get more drink. Parking can be a pain, but the service is quick, so you're usually in and out pretty fast.

    Undeniably, Ohana Hui is probably the most popular matcha spot in Honolulu at the moment. There is always a line. It's a food truck, so this is strictly grab-and-go, and you'll likely be waiting under the hot sun with no shade. Over the span of two weeks, I've gotten Ohana Hui four times. I've tried the Einspanner, Nana, Strawberry, and Earl Grey. Their matcha has a strong, earthy flavor, and the cream top is THICK. I also love that each drink comes with a cute cup sleeve! One thing I wasn't too sure about is the amount of cream top to drink ratio. There's a lot of it and it's almost half the drink! While I personally would prefer a little less cream and more matcha, all of the drinks I've tried have been enjoyable. My favorite has to be the Strawberry. Definitely worth trying if you're a matcha lover, but be prepared to wait in line and be sure to wear sunscreen!

    These are delicious! I'm curious if it would be possible for you folks to add coconut milk to the choices. Because coconut milk is the kind of milk that allows the antioxidants & catechins to be most absorbed from matcha. Just a suggestion, these drinks are so tasty and I would come anyway, but having the coconut milk as a choice would be awesome!

    Parking is shared with Anytime Fitness, and they have designated stalls, but it's verrry small. If you can, I'd recommend getting dropped off or finding nearby street parking instead. I stopped by on a Saturday late morning and only waited about 5 minutes in line. They were super efficient taking orders and my drinks were ready just a couple of minutes later. I ordered the Einspanner Matcha and the Ube Matcha, and both were seriously delicious. I'd rank them way up there compared to other matcha spots I've tried. The matcha had a nice umami that was well balanced with the cream and other flavors, so nothing tasted overly sweet or watered down. I actually think a lot of matcha places are overpriced and the matcha taste is underwhelming masked by all the milk and cream, but this one is worth it. The cup size is generous, and more importantly, the matcha actually has depth and tastes high quality. Highly recommend if you're a matcha lover!!

    Came here after seeing all the hype on socials! It's a lil truck next to anytime fitness kakaako. It's good, there might be a line but they're super quick to have your order ready. Parking is more the problem than the line. We tried the einspanner and earl grey matcha. Both were good, everything seems to be a little on the sweeter side. Not sure if you can customize the sweetness level. Didn't ask them but I think a regular matcha option would be a good addition to the menu. I'd like to try the other flavors but maybe when I can enjoy it as a sweet treat and not as my morning caffeine.

    Haupia and Banana Matcha

    Finally made it to Ohana Hui Cafe after seeing it all over my Instagram feed, and it completely lived up to the hype! It's such a colorful, eye-catching little stop that you can't miss it. I ordered the haupia matcha, and you can instantly tell they use high-quality matcha--super smooth, rich, and well-balanced. Even with a steady stream of customers, the staff was extremely friendly and the service was shockingly fast. The only small downside is that the waiting area gets pretty hot in the sun without much shade, but the amazing drinks and warm hospitality make it more than worth it. Can't wait to come back!

    Ohana Hui Cafe is one of the trendier matcha pop-up / trailer cafes of late. They serve iced matchas, so the menu is limited but a small menu is often a good sign - cafes can't be all things to all customers, or else compromises are made. The matcha is very good. I tried their Einspanner - which is similar to an iced Viennese Coffee...or Wiener Melange. The O-O Bae ( Ube ) Matcha Latte is also quite good. It has an Oreo crumble added atop the Ube cold foam. Both on the sweet side, which I don't mind. Lines are long but the service is fast...so I avoided an unitended suntan on both occasions. Also, the line has at least 80% Asian customers - so, you know the matcha bevvies are good. I'm 100% Japanese ( 98 % from the Southern Islands & 2 % from the Northern ( mainland ) Islands) ...so I can say it. Blame Ancestry.com for my ancestral breakdown...their database in Asia is probably not as accurate as it is in Europe or North America. Apparently, there are demarcated stalls shared with Anytime Fitness that you can park at...not sure which ones. Plenty of metered stalls and unmarked parking...good luck with either option. Now open daily from 1000a till 400p on the corner of Queen Street and Cooke St.

    Nana

    Went during lunch hour but was able to find street parking. There was a short line when I arrived but got my drink within 15 mins. Nana $9, matcha with banana foam. The banana had a tartness to it that worked so well with the matcha. Not grassy tasting nor too sweet.

    I LOVE matcha, I make it at home everyday with matcha powders I got in Japan. I can't remember the last time I went out to buy a matcha latte because I've been disappointed EVERY time by how little/light the matcha is. It always tastes like straight milk with a whisper of matcha. But I was recommended to try it from here, so I stopped by after going to Whole Foods. 6 drink options on the menu, and they all look pretty yummy! I got the einspanner, nana, and strawberry with whole milk. The woman working was very sweet and efficient. Unfortunately, every drink barely tasted of matcha :( very very weak. The cream/foams were strong/sweet though! If you want fun drinks, this is a great option. If you want MATCHA, it's not.

    Trendy D.

    LOVED! The quality of matcha was solid, not the absolute best matcha quality I've had, but it was good. The flavor of the strawberry to matcha ratio was well balanced. There was little freeze dried strawberries which added a wonderful consistency as I was drinking! My husband got the ube oreo which was also delicious. They're a little truck located in a shopping center. I would recommend trying this spot out!

Not bad but not the best loco moco I've had. Papaya boat with almond butter & goji berries- Papaya was sweet and refreshing served cold, but heavily doused in almond butter. Ratio was off in my opinion but it was still enjoyable. It felt wasteful to just toss the rest of the almond butter. Perhaps a side of cracker or two papaya halves should be served for the amount of almond butter. Prices were high. $9 for a cup of coffee and all of the food is over $15 each. Island Vintage serves a wide selection of food, coffee and acai bowls at very Hawaiian prices. I do feel there are better places to eat on the island but if you're already in the area and theres no line, I would say go for it. I wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes for it though.

    A Cozy Cafe with Friendly Staff, but the Coconut Latte Missed the Mark…read more I stopped by Bluetree Cafe in Kakaʻako around 3 PM with my cat, and the staff were genuinely friendly. They all came over to say hi to my cat, which was such a sweet and welcoming touch. The cafe itself is very cozy and beautifully decorated, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I actually came specifically for the coconut latte after seeing it in their Yelp photos. Unfortunately, the drink was quite disappointing. There was a fairly long wait - around 8 - 10 minutes for one cup. It seemed like one of the baristas was new and another staff member was teaching her, so I completely understood the delay. But when I finally received the drink, it didn't taste anything like the coconut latte I was expecting and it's the most expensive one though. I've probably had couple of hundreds coconut lattes, so I have a pretty good idea of what I was looking for. I asked the barista if she might have accidentally made a regular latte instead of a coconut latte, and she assured me, "Yes, it's a coconut latte." I took several sips, but honestly, it tasted more like a cold brew to me. Since I had my cat with me and the AC inside was also quite strong, I eventually went outside and just enjoyed hanging out with my cat instead. I really wanted to love this place because the atmosphere and staff were so nice. If the coconut latte had been made correctly - or tasted more like the coconut latte shown in their photos - I would definitely consider coming back. For now, though, I'm not sure I would make a special trip back just for the drink. I hope they improve the consistency because the cafe has a lot of potential.

I don't want to be that person when this place has an overall rating of 4.5 but this is just my honest opinion. I got the blue dream and yes it was very ascetically pleasing, but it was just too icy. Before coming to this place i read a couple of reviews that also said the same thing and i didn't understand what that meant, but now I do. There are a lot of flavorless, just regular, small shards of ice in the bowl. On top of that, the moment I received my bowl, it was already borderline melted. So that got me thinking, how can it be melted and icy at the same time? The only explanation that I can think of is just ice additive/fillers. It's not pure cold acai or whatever is in the bowl you choose, but there's a mixture of ice in it too. Yes I understand, it's Waikiki, everything is more expensive, but the added topping prices on top of the already expensive bowl prices just don't make sense. You want a beautiful looking bowl with a lot of different toppings, yet some toppings can go up to 1 dollar PER topping. I don't know if I've just been spoiled by a couple places in SoCal, but at those places they have unlimited toppings and those bowls are the best that there is. I'm not bringing any bias from other locations, but this is just an honest review based on my experience today.
