This is such a cute little shop and a nice place to come for coffee and do some work. There was outdoor and indoor seating. The parking was a little hard to find so I would look it up on advance to make sure you know where to go. The coffee and food items are on the pricier end for what they are, but everything was tasty and I like that it's supporting a small local business. The baristas were friendly and welcoming and there was a notice for awareness about the time for the sandwiches which provided reasonable expectations. read more

On a recent weekend morning outing to Kailua for bagels, we also were craving some fresh brewed coffee. Right outside was this little trailer with flashing lights and cute accoutrements. Another couple was laughing and chatting with the guy making the coffee, so I knew it'd be a friendly experience. Despite there being only room for a single employee, he did his best to make orders quickly but still with the attention a great cup of coffee deserves. Prices are reasonable for the local coffee quality and strength. They have other drinks as well, but it wasn't the right time to try them. If you see the trailer around the neighborhood, it's worthwhile to stop in a cup! read more

Just as sure as I am that every dad in America got a massage gun for Father's Day this year, I am certain that you will go head over heels over this coffee! Rise, find yourself some ono grindz, then go find this darling little blue coffee trailer that will knock your socks off! Your day is already off to the most fabulous start! I've only been once, but my iced Hawaiian latte left enough of an impression on me that I am an official fan girl of Rise & Grind! "Ohmigosh, that is spectacular" was my exclamation upon first sip. Do it! It's the best way to start your day in paradise! read more

Rise & Grind Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me

Rise & GRIND- this is a great one! Barney, his wife Leah, and their friend Olivia run the BEST coffee trailer at the Aloha Farm Lovers Kaka'ako Market on Saturday mornings. It's a beautiful turquoise blue, they sport their aloha wear, and carry out a smile and a great attitude every week (more like every other week, because I visit the market every other week hehe). They craft different coffee flavors and brews every week at decent prices. Cold brew, lattes, mocha and Americano... but I really am a sucker for iced lattes! $5.50 for a 16 oz, and one has the option of substituting for oat and almond milk for 50 cents extra. I sub the whole milk for those alternative milk options, as whole milk is quite heavy for me. So far, I've had: * coconut cream pie latte: with coconut and vanilla syrup * Hawaiian: with macnut, coconut, and vanilla syrup Their coffees are smooth, have the perfect ratio of coffee-sweetness (think 50% sweet), and are served up in a good timeframe. All in all, definitely visit the crew at Rise & Grind- their coffee definitely fuels you for a fun-filled and/or productive day ahead! If you're unable to catch them in Kaka'ako on Sunday's, they are also at Pali Lanes from Wednesday-Friday. read more

Had one of the best cold brews I've ever had here, and I have had a loooot of cold brew. A lot. It was truly my dream cold brew. It's one of the major reasons why I so look forward to stopping by the Kaka'ako Farmers Market on Saturday AMs! I get their largest size (16oz) and add the Hawaiian flavoring (macnut, coconut & vanilla) with oat milk. The total comes out to be ~$5, which I think is a very reasonable price for flavored cold brew anywhere - and especially in Honolulu. They seem to rotate their flavorings every so often and I'm dying to try some of the other ones - like Brown Sugar Oatmilk or Honey Cinnamon - but that would mean skipping getting my favorite cold brew one time, so we'll see if I ever end up trying those... There's always a line in front of their trailer, but the wait has never been too long and it's worth it. The girls running Rise & Grind are also very sweet. Right now this is my favorite coffee on the island! read more

Rise & Grind Coffee - 16oz Hawaiian Cold Brew with Oatmilk - Coffee & Tea Near Me

I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I would totally order that s'mores mocha iced latte again! It wasn't super sweet and very easy to drink. The crowds are sometimes a pain at the Kakaako farmers market but I would come back here just for another s'mores mocha latte! Plus the prices were decent and the service was quick and friendly! read more

The Hawaiian cold brew was great to take to the beach this morning! It wasn't too sweet and had a nice balance with the coconut and vanilla. I felt lucky to beat the morning rush on a Sunday as a line of about 8 people casually strolled in behind me. For a small business I was expecting warm customer service but was greeted with a rather gruff, short "What do you want?" so while the coffee was enjoyable I can't say the same about the service I received. Hopefully just an off interaction but it didn't leave me with a great first impression. read more

I was excited to try this coffee spot at the farmers market in Kakaako, because the line always looks long and I see a lot of people walking around with their coffee at the market. I ordered something simple - a french vanilla latte. I was considering getting a pumpkin latte, but wanted to try a basic coffee first. When i received the coffee, I already started to see condensation on the cup. I can't blame them though, it was a really hot day. However, I think they should've put more ice in the drink, as it got warm really quickly. The drink itself was not too sweet, which I don't mind. I would like to try another drink next time, hopefully I like it more! read more

Best coffee in Kailua! The owners are the best, and at a super cute place on Oneawa St

We found this place after we had to take A detour on vacation to get a phone fixed. They popped up only .2 miles from the repair place, so we decided to give them a try. And we weren't disappointed! This cute little coffee cart was fantastic...the coffee was AMAZING and they have some fun specials, the couple running it were super sweet and friendly and it was well priced! It was so amazing that we each got a second drink to enjoy for our drive! Kind of wish they had been right outside our hotel but loved that we found a local hidden gem! read more

We loved this coffee and the people! We got the Hawaiian with almond milk, best coffee we had in Hawaii (and we went on coffee tours)

I went to the Kailua Home Market for the first time because I was visiting a friend that had a jewelry stand. My mom & I wanted coffee so we decided to go to this place. While we were ordering, the lady taking our order was not friendly and very rude. After getting our coffee, I took a sip and the coffee spilled all over me. I realized that the coffee lid was broken! Even when we got back to our car, the lid wouldn't stay on so it spilled all everywhere. NEVER going back again. read more

I tried their lavender oat latte I was a bit skeptical to try at first, as I do not like my coffee sweet. I asked for one lavender pump instead of two (that it usually comes with), and it was just perfect. I was told that If I did not like it, I'd have it redone. Great service for a great quality coffee. Highly recommend! read more

I heard about Rise & Grind Coffee through a friend so I made it my mission to stop here while visiting the island. I ended up following their truck around the island the make sure I got it as much as I could! I loved their snickerdoodle latte! They're coffee is great and their customer service is 10/10. They're so friendly and the next time I'm here I'll definitely be back. read more
