    First time to this particular Starbucks always passed by never stopped. Today since I was in the area and I haven't had my morning coffee yet why not . Located Kakaako next door to lanikai juice . Service was friendly and quick on a Sunday . I was surprised there was a lot of parking available also the 1st hour is free . Now I know since parking is free and if I'm in the area I will get my Starbucks there .

    Holiday cheers!!! Thank you to the team at the Kaka'ako Starbucks that's open literally every single day including today on Christmas Day and let me tell you they were shaking things up here with lots of drinks pouring in. The staff here are amazing so full of cheer and keeping the vibe so festive, thank you for keeping the doors open for someone like me who can have a place to relax and enjoy it all as I finally get to take a moment from this busy holiday and see Maddie who always rocks it here, thank you to the entire staff who are the merriest and bright. Merry Christmas!

    Auntie Nadine and I came specifically to this location because she remembered that they had the Barbie pink tumblers. We were on our way to see the Barbie movie and decided to get matching cups. Luckily, we found a parking spot right in front of the store. They indeed had the pink tumblers. We each got one using our stars, so the cup came out to be around $3. The cashier was friendly. She asked about our pink outfits and the pink cups. We told her we were on our way to see the Barbie movie. She said she already saw it and the movie was a 10. I'm not sure we watched the same movie because I thought the movie was horrible.

    Crowded, no seating, noisy. my husband likes the coffee and I like a chai iced tea but golly, kids walking on the chairs and sitting on the counters. I don't need to come back..

    Looks like they are sending out the holiday spirit a little early!

    After I dropped off my work vehicle at the local Cutter Dodge Chrysler Jeep this morning, I decided to take a short walk down the street to this Starbucks coffee shop to get a cup of Joe for myself, as well as a cup for my coworker. As I walked into the coffee shop, I could clearly see that this coffee shop was pretty busy in the morning. Whether you go to this Starbucks in Kaka'ako, or another Starbucks in Ala Moana, or maybe even in Kahala...........more or less, they're all about the same as far as consistency of their drinks/food. What makes this Starbucks coffee shop in Kaka'ako a little different from the other Starbucks is service! After I placed my drink order for (2) plain coffees, I paid the clerk, then waited on the side - (and I made sure I wasn't in the way with any other customers who were waiting for their drink orders). While I was waiting for my coffees, I was observing the Starbucks workers, and for some strange reason, I totally got the impression that the workers here appeared to be unorganized??? Honestly, how difficult is it to pour two cups of coffee into two coffee cups? I didn't ask for anything fancy, all I wanted was just plain coffee, but the wait time to get my two cups of coffee was pretty ridiculous! Yeah, I get it that they were busy, but I think there are other ways that the staff can improve as far as working more efficiently.

    I love this Starbucks. They validate parking if you need it, the drinks always taste the same ( consistency is everything) and my order is always correct. If I had one complaint about this store it's that it's a little hot in here! The air conditioning doesn't seem to work that well but other then that, this is one of my favorite Starbucks. Super pet friendly and hardly ever has a line.

    Chai tea latte...free from Cyber Monday!

    Starbucks Rewards Program is really good! I had three tasks to accomplish today and this Starbucks - near the corner of Ala Moana Boulevard and Keawe Street (SALT at Our Kaka'ako) - was able to accommodate me! 1. This was the last day of my Five-Day Starbucks Challenge. If I made a purchase five days in a row, I would get 150 bonus Stars! That's why I got the silver Disco tumbler here at SALT. I saw one at the Nu'uanu location and I regretted not buying it. 2. I wanted to redeem my coupon for a free drink. On Cyber Monday, if a customer bought something, a free drink would be loaded on the Starbucks app...yay! I got a free venti Chai Tea Latte! (I wasn't able to redeem this reward at the Target Ala Moana Starbucks because they aren't participating in the Rewards Program.) 3. Because I had over 400 Stars, I wanted to get a free tumbler. I saw one from the new Hawaii Collection that I wanted (the one with the papaya, pineapple, and banana design) and I scooped it up! I just paid a few dollars for it because 400 Stars = $20 in merchandise. Whew! I felt a real sense of happiness because this was like a one-stop shop! The cashier was very knowledgeable, so, all three transactions went smoothly! Thanks to Starbucks for a fun Rewards Program! Now I will go to the app, "shake the snow globe" on the virtual game, and hope I win Starbucks for Life!

    After 5 days at sea, I was thrilled to enjoy a well made Starbucks. I visited Pike's place 2 weeks ago, and they could learn customer service from here. Cinnamon Dolce Latte was available and seating was sparse. Luckily customers were amenable to New York style. The coffee washed away the stench of nicotine and erectile dysfunction I witnessed from Army security. I was grateful to see Pearl Harbor and Navy Integrity.

I will be drooling over this coffee until I return. It has coffee, sea salt caramel, a scoop of ice cream, and black sea salt. Already it sounds delicious and it was. I finished my drink within 5 minutes. I didn't order any food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. The menu is extensive with plenty of options, making it a great place for brunch whether you're craving something sweet or savory. The café also has a small section selling Island Vintage merchandise, which is fun to browse while you're waiting. If you choose to sit outside, don't be surprised if a few birds decide to join you for breakfast and they're regulars too.. Overall, despite the longer wait for drinks, the quality of the coffee, inviting atmosphere, and tempting menu make this a spot I'd happily visit again.

Sadly, it seemed more folks were there for the pastries though. First off, I'm surprised I found such a fabulous cup of coffee in what feels like the epicenter of tourist life on this island. While visiting another island nearly establishment had signage stating they served Kona and/or Hawaiian coffee, but nearly every establishment's coffee was absolutely awful. Seeing the location I fully expected them to phone in the coffee, but it's clear that coffee comes first here, even if many of the guests are trying to get pastries! You'll be shocked by the line, but just know the staff is efficient and it moves fast. They offer a variety of their own locally roasted beans here, with options for batch brew, espresso drinks and even pour overs (impressive considering the volume of customers). The coffees are well described and the baristas have the additional knowledge you may be seeking when you order, and all in all this went as quickly as I could have expected. Truly, the coffee was delightful, and the fact I was drinking a hot drink on an extremely hot day didn't even phase me. I wanted so badly to bring home a bag of each one, but given that everything is more expensive in Hawaii, these were all 4x the price of the specialty coffee I buy on the mainland and I just couldn't make it happen. What will happen is me telling everyone to visit this shop when they're in Hawaii because it is 100% worth it. Won't you consider opening one in Reno NV?

I don't want to be that person when this place has an overall rating of 4.5 but this is just my honest opinion. I got the blue dream and yes it was very ascetically pleasing, but it was just too icy. Before coming to this place i read a couple of reviews that also said the same thing and i didn't understand what that meant, but now I do. There are a lot of flavorless, just regular, small shards of ice in the bowl. On top of that, the moment I received my bowl, it was already borderline melted. So that got me thinking, how can it be melted and icy at the same time? The only explanation that I can think of is just ice additive/fillers. It's not pure cold acai or whatever is in the bowl you choose, but there's a mixture of ice in it too. Yes I understand, it's Waikiki, everything is more expensive, but the added topping prices on top of the already expensive bowl prices just don't make sense. You want a beautiful looking bowl with a lot of different toppings, yet some toppings can go up to 1 dollar PER topping. I don't know if I've just been spoiled by a couple places in SoCal, but at those places they have unlimited toppings and those bowls are the best that there is. I'm not bringing any bias from other locations, but this is just an honest review based on my experience today.
