Absolutely love Starbucks! They open first thing at 4am. When using your Mobile App, you're able to order right at the start of business. I noticed the moment when I walked in the door was how warm and inviting the store is. I was greeted with genuine smiles by all of the barista's which normally happens in Hawaii. My food and beverage were great and the atmosphere was super pleasant. You should always sign up and connect your Starbucks Mobile App to pay for your order using the palm of your hand. Definitely a Starbucks worth visiting! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Ordered iced grande matcha latte with cold foam. Disappointed to see that my drink wasn't filled in the cup. (Forgot to take a picture, transferred my drink to an insulated cup) It was only filled a little half way. And when you think about it, I actually got a size tall order because there's ice as well. Because we can't see through the cup, I strongly suggest that everyone opens the cap to see. read more

Update on Starbucks since I cannot leave Tip on Yelp because I have a IPhone . This Morning talked with the barista and I asked her that the plastic cups shipment didn't come in ? She replied this is their new cups for hot and cold ! I personally I don't like it because i normally drink iced coffee and their new cups become soft I rather have their plastic cups . For hot drinks Yes it works well but not for Cold drinks ‍ read more

Stopped by after visiting the Arizona Memorial @ Pearl Harbor. Was in the area and needed to cool off after a hot & sweaty day. We all three , had ice coffee drinks which Starbucks is known for, Service was quick & consistent & we enjoyed our drinks in a nice clean store !

I always order via the mobile app and the Kamehameha Shopping Center Starbucks is prompt with pickup. I believe they've only gotten my order incorrect once...iced instead of hot, so not a big deal. Recently, downloaded their app again and cycled through their Fall beverage menu and am matriculating ( using it as the slang term from NFL legend, Hank Stram, for any English language Nazis) through the Winter menu - enough of the (one)Pump(chump)kin Spice Latte for myself. Corporate claims are that they've upgraded ( their term and this is a correction from original review ) the matcha as it now doesn't contain added sugar. I tried it of late...I'd say that is true...their isn't sugar mixed in with the powder. Ordered a hot Matcha Latte without any syrup and it has a slightly more earthiness with that bitterness. Starbucks' new menu item cortado is pretty good as well. Essentially, a smaller version of lattes served in the States. Brown sugar cortado with oatmilk was quite good as well. Lots of parking in the poor layout of the Kam Shopping Center. Open at 0430 daily: corporate but convenient. read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

September Thurs-yays! Cheers to BOGO for any fall drinks ordered after 12pm and you know the variety is the spice very needed in my life. Kamehameha Shopping Center parking has always gets me lost in directions I have no idea where I'm going so I grab one as soon as I find one usually not in the covered garage area as I hate getting stuck in there. As soon as you enter the service bar is basically the entire length of the store...super long leaving not much seating but the service here is always a delight and with a sense of humor as I order forgetting how to describe what I want...but they know and laugh along with my brain-freeze. Since I brought my own cup in-person ordering is necessary to earn my additional 25 stars and with that I got two Venti Pumpkin Spice Latte with Almond Milk no whip with Pumpkin Cold Foam is my current obsession. Not only the reusable cup earns you the bonus stars and a savings of ten cents you feel great and it's much more sturdy than the plastic which makes me cheer hip-hip Thurs-yays!! Thank you! read more

This location is at the Kamehameha Shopping Center. I went on a Wednesday and the line was long. They were running a half off promo. The workers kept their cool and were rushing out the drinks. I ordered a venti caramel frappe. I had originally asked for the caramel crunch frappe, but they were out of the caramel candy sprinkles. The drink took 10 minutes, but it was extremely busy. The drink came out great. I used my reusable cup and the whipped cream was sticking up above the cup, so I could lick the caramel drizzle. Yum! Don't forget to bring in a reusable cup for 10 cents off and 25 bonus stars. Plus, you'll be helping the planet. read more

Always a great visit. These baristas bust their butts with a smile. Even when some people don't deserve it lol. Watched some poor barista get attitude from an entitled customer and she never said anything rude and wished the customer a great day and went on with her life as if nothing happened. Good on her cause I wouldn't have responded like that lol. Lots of seating. Lots of merchandise in stock. Not too cold like I've found the airport location to be. And they added some Sun shades which I appreciate cause the sun can be overbearing at a certain time of day. Side note-you need to make a purchase to use the restroom. I think that's a nice change to keep homeless to a minimum. Great job Kamehameha Starbucks! read more

Starbucks - Always lots of Hawai'i selections which I appreciate cause I like to take to mainland with me for family. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Highly recommend ordering through the app so you can go straight to the pick up counter to get your drink when it's ready. The store was very crowded with people ordering and others sitting and chatting with friends. I had placed my order through the app, drove to starbucks, and it was ready on the counter once I got there! The store was clean and the employees were working hard! Will be back again! read more

Starbucks - New melon energy drink - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This location is a hit or mis for me when it comes to my drink. This is the closest starbucks in location since i recently moved in town. I drink coffee everyday and get my drink here most of the time but, sometimes they get it right, most of the time it's a mis . Good with the service but not consistent with the drinks they serve. Mililani town center Starbucks still is the most consistent Starbucks store Ive been too. read more

Starbucks - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is my go to Starbucks since it's right by my house, parking isn't too bad, and the baristas here are amazing! I've been coming here since 2017, and I got to say, most of the baristas make it a point to remember their customers and their drinks. I love that connection that most of them build. It really helps to have the app, because now you can order ahead of time, which makes picking up your morning coffee an easy quick fix. Morning are busy so, be sure to place like super early so you're still not waiting. They renovated inside, so the place looks great. There are a few spots for people to hang out or even do homework. Nobody really bothers you. Just be sure to bring a light jacket, because sometimes it does get chilly. read more

Starbucks - Cold brew with 3 pumps white mocha and sweet cream cold foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

If you're looking for coffee with a side of attitude, this place delivers. Thank you for listening (:

I've lived in the Kalihi area for over 25 years and it's been awesome witnessing the changes in the area, including the year Kamehameha Shopping Center added Starbucks to their array of resident vendors. March 2006 was one of my favorite months, as the access to a coffee cafe was near my home and workplace--yay! Over the past 18 years, this Starbucks has become a staple in the community, as many--including myself--have used this space to hold meetings, grab Traveler's for gatherings, celebrated occasions with a great cup of Joe and more! Over the years, the barista's have delivered consistently great customer service, including greeting me by name and knowing my regular order. However, with the changes brought on post-Pandemic, I noticed a higher turnover of baristas, so the personalization of customer service has declined a bit--justifiably so. Yet, this location seems to be consistent in having drinks ordered on the app available on time--which is much appreciated by those who are on their way to work. Mahalo to Kamehameha Shopping Center Starbucks for being one of the favorite things I look forward to when starting off my busy days! read more

My go-to Starbucks. They always take my reusable cup (you also get 25 bonus stars!) and are super helpful & friendly. Today, Taylor took my order and answered all my questions. He then made one of the best lattes I've had!! It was simple - brown sugar oat milk latte, but it was so smooth and perfect. He truly is a coffee master! read more

Ordered an iced caramel brûlée latte without whip and nondairy gingerbread cold foam. The nondairy gingerbread cold foam was nonexistent. This was really infuriating considering I paid extra for this. The iced caramel brûlée latte usually comes with the crunchy topping on top but I guess they forgot to add it to my drink. 0/10. Please read the stickers thoroughly. read more

This is my go-to drink and my first time at this Starbucks, I literally just took one sip and had to write a review! because...I've never had my drink made as good as this! lol this Starbucks made it soooo tasty and slightly blended!

This Starbucks location was busy on the day that I went. I usually go to the ones in downtown to get my caffeine fix but due to COVID-19 the locations I went to have been closed. The staff were really good with customer service and making drinks in a timely manner. I had gone inside on the search for my favorite... Venti Caramel Frappucino with caramel walls and whipped cream blended inside (and on top). Shhhhh... this is my "tReAt YoSeLf" drink. And to use my reward points on a brownie before they expired. It had been over a week since I remembered seeing those "Redeem your birthday drink on us!" emails from Starbucks. I had never actually gotten around to using it due to my busy schedule :( I went in to inquire about this offer. In the past I remembered something like you had the whole month to use the offer. I had consulted with 'Bing Search' to research this but could not find a definite answer from Starbucks about this. I know I should have asked 'Google' ;( For those of yalls that are also wondering, I read through the small print for us and found it. Your welcome~ This is from their website listed in the 'STARBUCKS REWARDS TERMS OF USE, Effective Date: September 15, 2020'. It says: "Birthday Reward. On your birthday (as indicated in your Starbucks Rewards account), you will receive one (1) complimentary handcrafted beverage OR one (1) complimentary food item OR one (1) complimentary ready-to-drink bottled beverage ("Birthday Reward"). Your Birthday Reward may be redeemed at participating Starbucks stores only and excludes: multi-serve food or beverage items (for example, a tray of Cranberry Bliss® Bars or a Coffee Traveler); beverages that contain alcohol; merchandise and packaged coffee; and items available at Starbucks Roastery and Princi locations. To qualify for your Birthday Reward, you must join Starbucks Rewards at least seven (7) days prior to your birthday, provide your birthday in your account information, and make at least one Star-earning transaction prior to your birthday each year. *****Your Birthday Reward will be automatically added to your account on your birthday and is valid only on that date.***** You must scan the member barcode in the App or present your registered Starbucks Card in order to redeem your Birthday Reward. You can check to see if your Birthday Reward is available by accessing your account on www.starbucks.com/account or in the App." The barista helping me let me know that Starbucks had changed the birthday reward from before and that there was only a limited time it could be redeemed. I will keep that in mind for future reference. He provided excellent customer service and did a really good job making my favorite drink. It was perfect! Like I don't know how much more perfect it could've been. That was it ;o I was definitely super surprised. I had a not so well made version of this drink at a Ewa Beach Starbucks location right before this, so it was a nice surprise :) read more

If you come here during MON-FRI mornings, they have the best crew working! Even on busy mornings they are able to ring & get quailty drinks out as fast as possible. Such a friendly staff with the best customer service. If you do decide on getting food warmed up, please be aware that there will be a long wait. This is located in Kamehameha Shopping Center near Mcdonalds/pizza hut. Highly recommend mobile order to get your drink/ food much quicker. Definitely my favorite location! Morning crew is very active & fast. They do not waste time. read more

I have had all but great service here before to the point my order was memorized and they knew when I walked in the door. Today Brittney was horrible. She was in a black apron and working with peer at the mobile order pickup area on the inside of the counter. She told me Thank you in a rude tone and then proceeded to tell the other worker that is how you get customers to respect you and say thank you. Mind you I still needed to get my second drink of the order. So I was watching her talking to him the entire time. Seriously. And I love this Starbucks. read more

I am very disgusted with how the customer service was here. Speaking of which the one worker who I truly dislike who gave me horrible customer service is Jess. Her tone when spoken to regarding my order was so out of pocket. Like if you don't wanna be working there then don't. She did the most and didn't even need to do that much. Spareeee meeee the attitude. read more

I love this place for several reasons. I love how they renovated the place to be open and you can get a view of how the baristas make your drink. The wait time is not very long. The staff are nice and helpful bc I came in once to get coffee grounds for my garden and bc there was a lot of grounds, it was super heavy, so one of the male baristas offered to carry it to my car for me. I'm definitely getting more coffee grounds from this place. I was recently craving a Chocolate Chip Cookie and it was my first time getting one from SB this week and it was worth the $2.50 something. They warmed it up for me just right, it was huge and it tasted bomb! I'm very particular about my cookies and I think it's now on my top favorites. read more

Located in the kamehameha shopping center next to Jamba Juice. The service is super good! I swear I went only for a couple of days and they remembered my name. The workers really make you feel special and they always compliment me while I order and never fails to tell me to have a great day, how great is that if EVERY restaurant had that kind of customer service lol anyways I love trying their featured drinks that they have each month. Their app is always a plus to look at too if you want to know more on what to drink and all that. read more

I ordered a drink and it didn't taste anything like it should! So initially I write a low score and review. However, when I called the store and spoke to the young man who made my drink he advised me that I ordered a coffee Frappuccino instead of a mocha Frappuccino. So this one was my error and he still offered me a mocha Frappuccino on my next visit. I thanked him and my low review turned into a kudos to him for his great customer service! read more

I always try to avoid this location when necessary. The location is convenient for some but the parking and the crowded store is too much sometimes.

1/2019 We has our twins with us after an adventure at the Ward Garden Lights and Ala Moana. Before heading home. I wasn't feeling well and thank goodness SB was still open.

Right in the heart of Kamehameha Shopping Center and we love it! Always order size Venti for all our drinks! Iced Americano, my Medicine Ball or Defense that gets me going.

I appreciate this SB a lot. One of my go-to homework spots in town. Love that Kam Shopping Center has shaded parking garage as well. As with any SB, timing is everything. Go right after school, and you'll be battling space with hyper elementary and high school kids, envying their metabolisms as they slurp up sugary blended drinks with caramel, Thai, you name it kinda walls. Young couples might make out in a corner, and sometimes you'll be waiting for the bathroom for a while. This is true of any SB, not just this location. That said, staff here is great. Always friendly, at least those I've interacted with. If you snag a table near an outlet, even better. Wish we had several multiple-story SB stores like how they do in Korea - with study nooks and outlets. Overall this is a go-to SB for me. I wonder if SB would employ a communal outlet bin? You know - like there be several power strips ppl can share but to be kept at that SB with a time-limit. Some ppl might try to hog one strip to themselves, though....hmmm. Anyway, I digress. read more

Unicorn Frappuccino! This is the newest drink from Starbucks! It's supposed to have a "changing" taste (a bit tangy, then sweet?) and a colorful, pastel appearance... To me, it's okay... fruity (mango?), pretty, creamy, and sweet - very "girly" and feminine... It's just a novelty item - something for fun! LOCATION: Kamehameha Shopping Center in Kalihi. Enter on School Street or Makuahine Street. PARKING: free and convenient! AMBIANCE: calm, quiet, clean, and cozy. Every table was taken with people on their laptops. SERVICE: even though there was a line on a week night, it moved quickly because of attentive, helpful, and efficient workers! I met my Lunch Buddy here for a quick meeting and discussion. He usually has great ideas (what to eat on vacation, where to go, the latest trends, etc.) and this Unicorn Drink was on my list of things to do! Plus - this location is on my route home - good call, Dear Daniel! I'd return because there are other businesses (Hoku Bakery, Longs, Times, Baskin-Robbins, Jamba Juice, Jeans Warehouse, etc.) nearby for one-stop shopping! read more

Don't get me wrong, this location is great, which is why it's always busy... I get it. This is why I use the mobile app to supposedly forego this nuisance. This morning (as of this post) was like any other. I put in the order on the app and it told me the order would be ready at 6:45 a.m. Fine, good dealio. Drive there, wait in the car until 6:47 and walk in. I'm not gonna lie, the place was packed, and every barista was scrambling to get things prepared and out the door with customers. Not one person was idle. Although, as it became 7:00, then 7:15, then 7:30... I realized that, yes, everyone was busy... but not efficient in the tasks they were doing. As the time passed to 7:35, I lost my patience. By 7:38, my order was ready. Then I realize, that one of the pastries I ordered was wrong. How can it be wrong?! It says what it is on the label! I then had to raise my voice to get someone to actually address me, just to get my complaint across, that I was waiting there from 6:47 a.m. and received my order at 7:38 a.m. and give me the wrong order... which was received with a cut off of repeated "I'm sorry" while I was in mid sentence, with a non-chalant attitude and then he just went back to what he was doing. I used to work in sales and retail... if I had that kind of attitude, I would've been fired in the following second. Don't just brush customers off... I get it, you're busy, it's busy, but we're ALL busy. For ALL Starbucks locations reading this (which I doubt you can as you so often have proven with the employees you hire), if your app says it'll be ready a certain time, it should be ready at THAT TIME. NO EXCUSES! Or, at least notify customers that the location you're ordering from is experiencing higher than normal customer activity, and if we would like to commit to our order... then once we commit, we cannot argue, we chose our destiny. To sum this up, eight baristas were busy, but seemed highly flustered and inefficient as my time there passed to past fifty minutes waiting for a mobile order. Then I was met with a half-assed apology while being cut off mid-sentence. This is highly unacceptable, and the employees at this location should be retrained in efficiency, or leave the kitchen if they can't stand the heat. What is second place? The first LOSER. read more
