    This is a picture of our drinks from last night, we ordered a Matcha Latte and Cafe Mocha. We took off the covers to check that they removed the foam in both drinks, and to see if they topped it off like Waikele and Mililani Town Center does. Nope they don't. Also, never saw sloppy drinks like this before. Corporate office couldn't help except to pass on the comments to the local district but I would not get a call back.

    This particular Starbucks is located next door to Costco Waipio nearby strip mall. Today I used the drive thru very friendly barista thru the speaker and when I drove up to the window my drink was already waiting for me . They also have an inside dining available if you wish to choose and drink there .

    12-13-25 thanks St. Nick for No U Turns!!! What a weird thing to comment, right? To make a long story short I left the house at 7 am for Bud's last baseball game of the season. I got the call just before the Ka Uka intersection. Bud woke up with a fever. They are keeping him home. Ok I'll turn around. No U Turn sign prominent in view- oh looky there... Starbucks by the Okinawa Center saves the day!!! Made a left turn... Fast pull in...the staff in there are super nice, I didn't know where the drive thru lane was- surely a blessing. So I walked inside. I could take photos for Yelp while I waited for my order to be filled. Surprisingly, the two employees I encountered who bring your items to the organized counter by your first name, already labeled by alphabet groups so you knew where to look to retrieve your brew and goodies. I moved closer to the counter, a very smiley elf like person called out Gail and gave me the cheeriest smile so I said Happy Holidays and he in turn said it back. As I was turning around to leave, a different elf like person said thank-you to me. We both said Happy Holidays at the same time. Had to giggle. Just like you can't give a hug without getting one in return... The prep station further back was buzzing, so busy. I swear it was like Santa's workshop for coffee appreciaters and pastry lovers. Once I sipped my grande hot peppermint mocha, all sadness I entered with had vanished. If you can't make a visit to the North Pole, make a stop here if you're in the vicinity. The spirit of Christmas is alive and well here early in the morning.

    I came here for breakfast while I waited for my car to be serviced. I walked in and the vibe was very welcoming and upbeat, right down to the music playing in the store. I ended up getting the grande Caffe Latte with oatmilk and the Bacon & Guyere Egg Bites. The barista who took my order was friendly and super helpful. I ended up eating in and was able to do some reading without feeling that I had to leave. If you happen to be in the area and want a quick breakfast, I recommend that you stop by here.

    Bug in our drink
    Jennifer W.

    My grandson ordered the dragon fruit refresher and found a bug inside the cup. It's a shame that I paid with cash, as I am now 30 minutes away and unable to get a refund.

    If looks can be deceiving.... Dining in it can be very mellow but I've never seen the consistency flow of cars going by the drive thru puts the fast food chains to shame. This is the Waipio location that's right next to Costco and thought that I needed a refuel after a busy adulting day and what better way than here at Starbucks. The cashier was very direct and automated though not rude just here to work thought incredibly busy drive thru the what seems to be a small staff does it without a sweat and is something to be very proud of. Parking at this little shopping corner is tight as it shares retail space with Pandas, Ramen Ya and few others, seating is limited inside with a counter with six stools while outside has about four two top tables though it's right beside the drive thru not sure if it's a relaxing vibe, but with a cup of Ice Pumpkin Spice Latte with Almond Milk and Pumpkin Cold Foam along with a warmed Spinach Feta Wrap is nothing to complain about at all. Thank you!

    Strawberry açaí lemonade

    This is a venti strawberry açaí lemonade. Almost $6 and this is what they give me, I have not touched the drink, but you can see how empty the cup is. This is completely unacceptable. Do better!!

    I often visit my neighborhood Starbucks location. Generally orders are made well and taste as ordered. I always order online ahead. However, a few times it's not ready when expected and I end up waiting for them to make the order. On occasion I wonder why there's a delay when the store is empty (although they do have a drive though to cater to as well). Location is clean and they have indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are nice and helpful. I often get the free pup cups for my furbaby

    Coffee Dirt...hmmm

    Carpooled with my friend yesterday & decided to make a stop @ Starbucks Waipio (the one nearest to Costco). Once again, sanitary & cleanliness comes into place. Aside from our selected morning drinks, 2 pastries, and 2 trenta cups of ICE ONLY were ordered. Upon reaching my office, I opened up the lids to both venti cups (not a big deal with the size difference) of ice. Of the two, I found what appeared to be either 1) coffee stained spot w/some on the rim 2) possibly dirt from the floor (maybe cup fell). Id like to think its more coffee, but its still questionable considering it was supposed to be just ICE only. Whether it is or not does not matter being the cup should not have been re-used. And to top it off, we didn't realize our drink actually was not made accordingly & this was brought to my attention @ another Starbucks location when I used the previous order option. The barista at another location saw me pick up my drink from the counter & he kindly pulled me on the side. He pointed out that the order didn't look right & was confusing. I looked at it & I told him "yah thats not correct" & showed him how I ordered. He then proceeded to show me how to use the "favorite" feature so I can use it for future orders. Although he did make the drink, he also offered to re-make it if it wasn't to my liking. I didn't want to trouble him for another person errors and he was kind and patient enough to teach me something new, I didn't bother with the re-make.

    Coffee with drive thru service! Need I say more? To kick off the holiday season my husband and I visited this drive thru located next to Costco in Waipio and we loved the quick service and of course the holiday drinks. You can never go wrong with their seasonal drinks particularly the peppermint mocha which is among our favorites served hot and cold. The best part is the sharing. The service was efficient and very friendly. Will definitely return for another holiday round at this location soon!

    Great service. Limited inside seating with 5 tables outside. Server noted that 80% of sales are drive thru since COVID. So they haven't replaced inside seating. We came to study and they were nice enough to turn the volume down on the outside music. Inside is freezing cold anyway!! :-)

As for my drink I can't say I was in love with it but I did like it and I honestly wouldn't mind coming by and getting it again if I was really craving boba especially compared to some of the other places I've tried. My grandma and I also really liked how the boba was since it was soft but not super soft to the point it makes you wonder how long they've had it sitting out or if they over did it. So because of this she actually wants to try a different flavor so she can find her go to order since they're pretty close to us.
