    Cheeee!!! Round of applause! I did a version of my Dubai chocolate drink and it tastes AMAZING despite being $12.50 but it was worth every penny! Breakfast of the champs!

    How's this thing of beauty!

    The chill zone is here... Why go to the mall when this Waimalu Plaza location that has so many free parking steps away and has one of the spacious seating area ranging table for two to four where you're able relax, get work done or just take that moment for yourself. The only downside is I don't see any outlets to recharge your electronics. Layout is nice and organized so you're able to shop and browse their merchandise, grab and go items without interfering with the flow of the line to order is nice. The staff here is very nice greeting guests as they arrive and leave made my Matcha Latte perfectly in my new sparkling red cup does bring the extra touch of joy t my day off. Thank you!

    Big, spacious and clean store. We ordered thru the app. Our order was ready pretty quick. Staff was friendly, tables clean, bathrooms were clean. Parking is easy, we pulled up to a spot by the front door.

    Inside is huge

    I decided to come here to get my coffee fix. I always get the grande hazelnut oat milk shaken at every Starbucks when I crave coffee. This drink at this location was pretty strong. Other Starbucks I go to don't make it that strong. Whoa. It sure is a pick me up this afternoon. Lol I definitely liked the inside because it's so huge. They should add more tables because there's just so much dang space. Haha. I usually never get food from here only cake pops for my daughter when she's with me. Ambiance is nice. It's fairly loud in here but that's okay with me. I'm used to being around loud people haha. This location was convenient because the Thai village I go to is in the same shopping center. I would come back but maybe order something else. My favorite fruit drink is the mango dragon fruit refresher so I may come back to order that.

    This location has great parking and it's usually not crowded. If you're looking for a place to study or chit chat with your friends, this is the place! The workers are quick and working hard behind the counter to get everyone's drinks out. I highly recommend ordering through the Starbucks app so you don't have to wait in line. If you order through the app, you can just wait at the pick up area. They usually have outdoor seating which is perfect for a nice day out! The drinks are always made to perfection and their food items taste amazing as well!

    Today is Red cup Thursday. Website and email said order any drink any way and I ordered exactly what was suggested - iced Gingerbread oatmeal chai - and get a holiday red cup. Ordered online. Came for my order - no red cup. Asked the barista and she lifted an empty red cup and asked if that's what I meant. Replied "yes." She responded with "its only for hot drinks." Needed to leave so I didn't take the time to pull up the photo (posted) because I wasn't 100% certain if it was her or me. Went home and sure enough my iced Gingerbread chai was the suggested drink to get a red cup. So I have no red cup. Not happy. So only two stars today.

    My order was a mocha with 2 pumps peppermint syrup and no foam.
    Carie K.

    I am a regular, come here almost every other day for the last 3 years. They are so inconsistent with their drinks. I always put "no foam" because I personally think it's a waste of space. Today, I ordered a mocha with no foam. Instead, they put whipped cream on top. And then didn't even fill the cup. It's literally 1/4 empty! This isn't the first time this has happened. It's happens almost every week! I'm fed up, but they are the closest coffee shop near my work ‍

    Excellent customer service and my coffee came out perfectly made! I would definitely come back to this location when I'm in the area again.

    Starbucks in the Waimalu shopping center is pretty busy...constant traffic...service friendly and efficient with lots of parking. Got a table but about half hour later all table taken.. Starbucks rock!

    Dirty windows.
    Bob F.

    Clean the place up. Every time I go in this place there is trash on the floor. Three people working behind the counter and no one can grab a broom. Let me add in when you sweep the floors wipe down the tables.

    Looks green to me...

    A typical Starbucks but with lots of seating choices. It's in a plaza so there's tons of parking as well. The staff is quick and polite.

    Chaden is the worst barista ever. He is immature and needs to grow up. He is too full of himself and needs to be humbled.

Always a fruit tea lover it was the "Honey Green Tea" for me tonight as I wanted something light and refreshing to cleanse my palate and was asked but didn't want any toppings it was a nice and simple drink that I enjoyed throughout the night. The staff is so nice and friendly it was an easy sip and grateful for the extended hours so that I may enjoy something with convenience and is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Whenever I pass by, there seems to be people waiting in the front, especially during dinner time. Who knew this place would be the spot to go to for dinner? From the outside, it reminds me of the restaurant Tiana from The Princess and the Frog built -which make total sense! It's the high, lofty ceilings, big, open, bright lights - they really got the plantation building vibe well. The servers have been great whether they're the quick-service bakery or the servers for our dinner. I remember one dinner, my meal took longer than everyone else at the table and they were apologetic in that and kept checking in and made sure I felt seen. As far as the food, I've tried their cutlet, breakfast pancakes/waffle, fried chicken, and a couple other dishes. Some I ordered myself and some my husband ordered, therefore they are my dishes as well. All of them tasted great and I do have to say, considering how long they've been open, you would think the standards go down at some point, but I have not experienced that at all. The breads, butters, and jellies still slap. And most of all, my husband and other family members I've come here with LOOOVE the kimchi fried rice and/or the pork loco moco. Personally, I used to only think about Liliha Bakery whenever friends from the mainland come to visit. But now, it just may be a nice spot for dinner if we want something a little more than Zippy's.

The drive-thru is very convenient when I'm getting coffee on my way to work. However, it does tend to get really busy and sometimes when I see how backed up it is, I just leave. I do feel that they prioritize the drive-thru over walking in because a few times I would just go in to order if the drive-thru is busy and the barista taking my order appears to be taking and making orders for the drive-thru. There were also a few instances I saw where you can't even go in to order and could only go to the drive-thru. I do understand when they say they're short-staffed and I see how it can get pretty busy. I'm just sharing my past experience but I do continue to come here because my drinks are always made to how I like it and I love that they're open a little later than other coffee shops! Some of the drinks I love: Iced Vietnamese Cold Brew (it can be strong sometimes) Iced White Chocolate Latte Iced Hazelnut Latte Iced Blended Cookies & Cream Iced Blended Caramel Iced Blended Cookie Butter (it can be really sweet) Li Hing Lemonade I love when they have Mo'Jo Mondays where they feature a drink for $3.

Was hoping for more of a matcha-y taste throughout the drink. I believe they mentioned in an IG story that they will be sourcing a new matcha soon, so I am eager to see if that will enhance their matcha drinks to be the best it can be. Will have to try it out once it becomes available!
