    Back patio seating

    I discovered a hidden gem during our vacation in Oahu, located in Kailua. While parking is limited, the short walk to this cozy spot is well worth it. We enjoyed an iced Hawaiian latte and an iced coconut milk matcha, both of which were delightful and flavorful. The Hawaiian latte had the perfect balance of coffee and milk, and I couldn't resist adding a blueberry scone to my order--it was absolutely delicious. The service here is exceptional, and the coffee shop also features a small breakfast diner with a diverse menu to satisfy any palate. If you're looking for a place to relax, there's a tranquil, ambient area with soft lighting, as well as a charming back patio. I truly loved the vibe of this place, and I'm confident you will too.

    New diner section next-door with a breakfast and lunch menu.

    Hadn't been here in a while and thought I would stop in with some of my family and it's even better! Got to try the different scones, which were fabulous! They now have a brand new breakfast and lunch menu with a diner connected to the main café. The menu looks amazing, with reasonable prices!! We will be back because my family loved it too! And the coffee....perfect! I had a decaf Hawaiian specialty flavor, half sweet. Yum!!! and the workers there are always the sweetest! We found that parking in that municipal lot near McDonald's is convenient. Just exited and walked toward Oneawa.

    But first....coffee please. I love me a good latte and Rise & Grind did not disappoint. I first discovered this place when they were at the Farmers Market. It's been great watching them grow into this cute and aesthetic coffee shop that is perfect for hanging out. The decor include a photo wall, and a book room with comfortable chairs. BThe lattes are under are under $10 and offer I size for iced drinks. I really like that they offer house - made syrups. I believe it rotates out seasonally. Right now they offer a pumpkin syrup (house-made). My favorites are the banana and blueberry house made syrups. The blueberry lavender latte is offers the right amount of both flavors. The staff is helpful in recommendations and drinks are served promptly. Find them at the farmers or drop in to their home location in Kailua

    I wasn't looking for a new coffee place to go but literally made an illegal u turn once I saw their signage ! What a perfect little getaway! It's snuggled into a small row of buildings next to the Shell station. Parking will be a challenge but there's a small garage next to McDonalds which will take you 70 seconds to walk. It's dog friendly so bring your fur babies! Otherwise, the place is wonderfully appointed to where it feels homey. Definitely on par with any cafe you'll find in Southern Cal. One of the best parts was the friendly staff. I came in a little giddy and she was super patient and explained they baked all their own food (except the danish) and suggested the best thing in the menu- The Bacon Me Crazy sandwich. 10/10 Happy to have this part of my rotation! Come see them in Kailua!

    I ordered the summer special: a banana pancake latte made with in-house banana syrup and a hint of maple. It was a tad sweet but one of the best banana-based lattes I've had on the island! The banana flavor was strong so highly recommend if you enjoy bananas.

    I really needed coffee and searching around Kailua, I saw Rise & Grind. I was first introduced to them at the Kaka'ako farmers market. They are in a space that use to have another coffee shop in it that was pretty cool! I got one of their signature coffee drinks, the Hawaiian...macnut, coconut, and vanilla...soooooo good! Iced and it hit the spot! Didn't feel sleepy driving over the Pali! The inside space is great to relax or meet up with friends. There's also a small room to sit and relax. The staff is really friendly too! Mahalo Rise & Grind!

    Bagel with pesto cream cheese was good! -- Tried the Hawaiian Coffee, it macadamia nut and coconut syrup; it was good, not too sweet and coffee isn't too strong --Berry matcha was alright, matcha wasn't strong at all .. they don't really specialize in matcha so it's understandable -- ambience: I loved it, so many aesthetic places to sit at, it's such a vibe -- service: they were super sweet, drinks were quick, waited a couple minutes after for bagel CONS: -- parking: no parking, parking next to coffee shop is for employees only -- cups are pretty small, or maybe it's just me lol! Biggest is 16oz, not sure what I got

    They have a cute room to hang in aside from the regular cafe

    I was around the area in Kailua and seen this place on Yelp. I'm so glad I chose to go here because I seen that they had my favorite coffee, Mac nut iced coffee. It was so so good. I did add another shot because I like my coffee strong. It was perfect. I also tried their banana nut bread muffin. It was super soft and I love how they add alot of walnuts in it. The service was super friendly and don't get me started on the place inside. So so cute and very spacious. They have a generous amount of space to choose to sit at! I love that they also have healthy drinks there! I am definitely going back to try their other options

    Are you looking for a cutie coffee spot to go chat and spend time with your girlfriends? This is the spot. There's couches, table seating and chairs with an outside patio, too! Plenty of room for a big or small group. I've been here a few times and tried their Hawaiian latte (Macnut and vanilla), a specialty drink around Christmas and today's: blueberry matcha! YUM! I love that they go the extra step to mix your drink PERFECTLY so the syrup isn't just sitting at the bottom. Although it was busy, service was quick and the baristas were friendly! Cheers!

    Roadside coffee stand with huge selection of coffee drinks, smoothies and teas. Great stop coming off the mountain.

    What a wonderful morning vibe spot! We were looking for a quiet cafe where we could sit and enjoy a good coffee. We knew we could get good coffee at Morning Brew down the street but the lines there are always ridiculous and it can get kinda noisy. We walked past a drive thru cafe with outdoor seating around the corner and knew that wasn't what we wanted either Then we found Rise & Grind. The ambience has a artsy, cute vibe but it's definitely a smaller cafe for people who just want to be. There's even nice outdoor seating in the back but unfortunately sometimes you'll smell cigarettes out there. No parking though.

    Amazing breakfast sandwich, turkey bacon egg and pesto!!
    April T.

    Great service, felt welcoming and the food was delicious!! Parking isn't the best but worth the spot.

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.

It's been a while since I've been here...coffee for takeaway though there is an outdoor patio where seating is available. They sell donuts from L'ili'i Donuts - vegan fare.

They also offer Sage Creamery pints and cups,...that are tantamount to a Keiki-sized portion. B I had a donut...good...and a keiki cup...very good. If it seems that I am on a quest to find every available retail spot on Oahu to acquire some ice cream from Sage's...well, you are wise to my endeavor. Ube Crinkle was amazfreezing. Traditional macchiato was good.

    This location has a very different layout compared to the kapolei location and both being good…read more I Have always drove past the Kailua one this one is a lot smaller and has a more casual island vibe. The ordering counter and cashier is right as you enter along with thr pastry counter. Same deals with thr kapolei location you order and find your own table and put number so they can find you when your order is up. Inside is airconditioned with around maybe 10 tables and chairs some seat 2 others eat 4 and they also have outside patio seating back and front. The parking can be challenging having maybe 10 -12 spots in their lot and some street parking . Their Menu is a bit more limited than their other location. Sandwiches.. pizza and other stuff oh and coffee. The only thing that wasmt as good as their kapolei location was they didnt have the thin crispy salty cravable fries they only had small bags of chips available The food is always good and the service was real good. The staff gave you an impression where they really valued their customers with greetings with a smile and happy goodbyes.

Water is self-serve, and the setup feels more like a cafeteria than a traditional sit-down restaurant. That said, the staff has always been friendly and welcoming, which makes for a pleasant experience. I usually order the chicken pesto sandwich, which is always a great choice, but today I decided to branch out and try the Beach Burger and the Margherita Pizza. Both were absolutely delicious and definitely worth ordering again. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It has a relaxed, coastal vibe that makes you feel like you're dining at a beachfront café, even if you're not right on the sand. Overall, it's a great spot for good food, a laid-back environment, and friendly service. I'll definitely keep coming back.

They don't have parking so you have to find street parking. We went to go visit today, Wednesday. They open 8AM to 9PM everyday, and we got there around 10AM ish. Upon entering, you enter through the short wooden gate by sliding it lol. Was all confused because signs said "the Garden to your left, Boardroom to the right", so we kind of passed the entrance, going around the corner, and noticed that there wasn't another entrance on the other side, and that's when we figured the short wooden sliding gate was the entrance lol as you walk in, it's an outdoor establishment, lots of seats everywhere. With this yelp elite experience, we got to have a pizza and a dole whip. They have a menu posted up, and you order at the truck. They don't start serving pizza till 11, so we left cuz we was too early, and wanted to take advantage of our yelp perk, so went to go run errands and came back around 2PM ish. We got a pepperoni pizza, vanilla dole whip, and I ordered a maitai. Pizza was good. Dole whip was good, and Maitai was good. Everything was good! I loved that we got to make our way here to take advantage of my yelp elite perk because if wasn't for this yelp event, on any other normal day, we would just pass this place, not even knowing what this place has to offer! One thing about this place is that it's hotttt, if u go in the day. And for me, alcohol and hotness does not go together lol Since they open till 9, I would think it's probably cooler when sun is down. Love pet friendly places. We got to bring our jellybean with us. Cool spot to chill, have a few. Shout out to Eric for taking care of us. Awesome customer service. Only had him working all morning. Go check this place out. Don't forget to tip :)

In my head, I was thinking "drive up" like "drive thru" but I was mistaken. It's an actual walk up and order type thing. I was surprised that when you walk up to the deck area, there's a server/cashier standing outside waiting to take your order vs a walk up to the counter and order experience. Makes it feel much more customer service oriented. She explained to me the difference in all the drinks, and what I could add to each drink and what not. The matcha is pretty good! I was told that their matcha isn't naturally sweet, you need to add your own sweetness to the drink itself. The server did recommend vanilla, or brown sugar in which I opted for vanilla. That was a nice touch! Overall, the drink was good. The matcha quality is really nice. I have however, tried better. But that's just a personal preference at the end of the day. Will I be returning? If I'm in the area again, absolutely! Customer service is great, and I would love to try their coffee and other drinks. Love that I can bring my kids and they can run on the grass while I put in my order.
