UGHHH i really wanted to like this place too. maybe i'm just more sensitive to espresso right now since i'm on my deriod

"Portuguese sausage" and "scone" are not words that one would expect to be placed together…read more Hawaii's favorite breakfast sausage is more often associated with rice and eggs or scrambled into an omelette. But trust me, you must try this scone. And when they ask you if you want it toasted, always say yes. This Portuguese sausage scone is everything. The edges are delightfully crispy and the inside is moist. There's a slight sweetness, which is offset by the saltiness of the little gems of sausage scattered throughout. There's enough butter for richness, but not too much where it feels oily. I dare say it's my favorite scone on island. The drinks are highly recommended too. The lavender honey matcha is delicately floral and the honey adds just the right amount of sweetness. The velvet cream cold brew and honey cinnamon latte are great coffee options. Everything is reasonably priced and high quality. Customer service is wonderful. There seem to be quite of lot of regulars here, which is always a good sign. Parking is a little limited but I've always found a space whenever I've come here. There are a bunch of tables and free WiFi, so it's the perfect spot to get some work or studying done. Skip Starbucks and support local!

You'll be greeted by the green green plants (which are actually for sale!), and then grab a drink down the hall. I also like how they have a "Sip & Chill Zone" where no ipads or computer work are allowed, so you can just relax and talk story. This is my favorite spot because I can just do some people watching by the window as I sip my matcha latte. It's a nice place to detach from the hustle even just for a while.

The space is clean and comfortable with couches, tables, small chairs, and counter space for a variety of patrons.

Whether you're studying, hanging out with friends, doing work, or just listening to music as I was; the space is proper, and the coffee is even better. I had chosen a hot chai latte with almond milk for this rainy day and sat near the window to just enjoy the vibes. It was delicious and perfect for the weather. Not too spicy and a great foam on top. Pricing is reasonable, and they even offer food items that you can munch on with your coffee. Perhaps I'll have to try the food during a future visit. The staff was friendly and quick with my order and even brought it to my table after ordering. I never felt rushed at all, and it was nice to have found a comfortable space to enjoy a nice cup during the rainy weather. I'll most certainly be coming back again next time I'm in the area.

Even as I walked in and glanced at the display case I was warmly greeted by a staff instantly so nice especially in the early morning. I got the Turkey Pesto Sandwich and was offered if I wanted it heated which I was thrilled it can be done and didn't take long at all though this Market City location is shared side space with Foodland it's a bit on the small side as it's more long and narrow space so it makes it hard to crowd without block the flow of traffic which is quite heavy for this early morning hour.
