    I think I came here once before while shopping at Waikele Outlets . Luckily I was there around 5:00am so it wasn't crowded yet .I've noticed this Starbucks is always crowded during the day especially on the weekends. A few tables for inside dinning along with a nice merchandise area . Service was friendly and quick of course I was the only customer at that time lol . Lots of parking right in front of the store . This Starbucks is located next door to Sephora on the downside of Waikele Outlets.

    This Starbucks location has plenty of parking available as it's in a large shopping plaza called Waikele Center. Cozy intimate seating inside and outside. The baristas look like they are having fun! They were nice and friendly. Wife got her usual - Hot Mocha Caffè. The weather is 81° here and humid!?! It doesn't matter to her.

    Very clean, and drinks are prepared perfectly. This time, I got myself the Valentine Chocolate chip strawberry creme frappachino even if it wasn't on the board. Was filled to the top of the cup rim and presentation was nice. Place is small, but clean, but not too many tables inside, and only a very few tables outside to relax. This store is a bit small, so its noisy inside. Service is excellent, cashier was friendly and professional. Drink was made quickly. Lots of parking since it is located at the lower level of Waikele outlet stores, and connected to other stores, so no drive thru either.

    If you need a quick pick me up in the Waikele area, look no further. Go to this Starbucks location next to Sephora and Jamba Juice. Quick and amazing service. Friendly staff with a smile. Also has a bathroom for convenience. Make sure to ask the staff for the code! There is bar seating as well as some tables. Be sure to come early or avoid rush hours. I've noticed they're all usually taken by then. Must visit if you're in the Waikele area

    I like this Starbucks. What's not to like? They have plenty of parking, quite a few tables, both indoor and outdoor and a bathroom. The baristas are nice, my drink is always yummy. It's great! I've been here a handful of times. I always forget there is a Starbucks in waikele because I forget about this entire side of waikele. Lower waikele lol. I've been really into flavored teas from Starbucks lately. I like peach tea, but they were out of peach, so I got my oldie but goodie strawberry candy milk tea. It's black tea with strawberry purée and condensed milk. It's delicious, but you have to drink it fast so it doesn't separate. This store is also stocked with plenty of merch, food and bagged coffee. Literally everything you'd want or expect from a Starbucks.

    I received quick and efficient service. I purchased a white chocolate mac cream cold brew in my reusable cup. I also ordered a white chocolate frappe. The cashier rang me up and I scanned my card on the Starbucks app. You get double the stars if you use that method of payment. The drinks came out about 10 minutes later. They were both good. No complaints. Drinks from all Starbucks locations are pretty consistent. It just depends on the service. I've actually had really give service from the majority of baristas working for Starbucks. I noticed that most of the tables were dirty. I grabbed a napkin from the dispenser and wiped off my table myself.

    I needed my morning Joe, good thing that this Starbucks opens at 4:30 AM!
    Fran C.

    WOW! This Starbucks opens at 4:30 AM!!! You folks are a lifesaver!!!! Lol! I was doing some early morning installations work at Lowe's hardware store, and upon taking a break, I decided I was gonna walk across the parking lot from Lowe's to go to McD's. But while walkin' towards McD's, to the side of my eyes, I see this Starbucks Coffee shop, so da next thing ya know I veered off to the right & made a straight bee-line to Starbucks! Yes, Starbucks coffee is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more expensive then McD's coffee! Is it better? Hella YES! But I won't hate on McD's coffee, as what you pay & what you get ain't too bad. The nice thing about this Starbucks was that it was in the Waikele Shopping Center complex, and smack in a place where it's quite accessible from other businesses. Parking is a breeze if you decide to come here, as there are tons of parking spaces located within this shopping complex. I walked into the coffee shop, the friendly clerk took my order, collected my moolah, then she turned around & filled my cup of hot Joe then handed it to me within seconds! What great service!!!! Walked back to Lowe's to finish up what I was doing, and I enjoyed my hot cup of coffee from Starbucks!

    New Cold Brew... yay!

    Not all Starbucks are the same. Some are smaller than others. Some have friendlier staff. Some don't get merchandise shipped to them. That's some of what I learned when I was searching for the Color-changing cups. My quest started in Los Angeles earlier this 2020 year. I called many Starbucks and they had all sold out. It was frustrating! Recently, a new batch of color-changing cups was made. The Kailua location said that merchandise is on auto-shipment and they don't receive any cups. I was referred to the Windward City Starbucks. I went twice and called a few times - no luck. Just for fun, I entered a contest on Instagram - not expecting to win. The prize was a Confetti Color-changing cup... not the set of six color-changing cups, but the special, larger CONFETTI CUP!!! I was thrilled to the max when Starbucks at Waikele messaged me to inform me that I had won! YAY!!! Waikele is known for its outlet shops. If I had more time, I would have taken a look around and also would have stopped by the food trucks. Too bad I didn't have time. It was a busy day of errands and I was getting a migraine because I hadn't eaten yet. Thank goodness for coffee! I parked for free right near the door of Starbucks and went into the spacious and well air-conditioned, tidy shop. The friendly cashier took my order for a Cold Brew with Dark Cocoa Amondmilk Foam. It was nice and strong with less bitterness and not much sweetness. Ahh! I felt like I needed another dose, so I went back to the cashier and ordered a Cold Brew with Cinnamon Almondmilk Foam. When she asked for my name, I said, "Hello Kitty"... and she didn't make a face! LOL! Anyway, the coffee wasgood! Mmm! It had a hint of refreshing spice! Great! I finally revealed to the staff that I was "Auntie Nadine"... and I was here to pick up the Instagram prize. Hee hee! I don't know who was more happy - the staff or me? LOL! I gladly accepted the Confetti color-changing cup and took a photo of it! At long last... after many months... the search is over! I finally got a color-changing cup... and the c?CONFETTI one at that (with a rainbow-colored straw)! Yippee! I'm SO HAPPY! Thank you to Waikele Starbucks! You're my favorite location right now! (*insert huge smile*) Thanks for being so nice to me when I had my migraine, too!

    Little bit different price but the store person can say "that's ok" means they give me more than I paid
    Mie D.

    Still this location was SCAMBUCKS!!!! I'm so disappointed again. I ordered "ice passion tea unsweetened", then I got iced coffee. I told the barista, "this order is wrong, I ordered iced passion tea" so he said "oh, I can make for tea". But when I scan my card I felt like little expensive than usual, so I told him "but those price are different, right?!", he said "no almost same". But you can say that if you give me more than I paid. Well, I wanted some snack for me, so I picked popcorn and checked. I told a gal who mistook my drink order "you mistook my drink order". She said just sorry but didn't look like thinking sorry. Had another bad experience at this location. Hope another coffee shop open in Waikele center.

    My daughter wanted Starbucks and luckily this was right in the corner of where Sephora was. We walked in and stood in line social distancing and of course a mask is mandatory. The girl at the register was super nice. I wanted a cold brew and the lady gave me options so I went with a grande salted caramel cold brew and my daughter got a grande pink drink. We both loved our drinks. There were two baristas making drinks behind the counter. They were pretty fast at making drinks. My drink was perfect. Plenty of parking up front. Too bad they don't have drive thru.

    I love coming to this Starbucks because it's so convenient (right by the outlets) and the workers are fast, friendly and on point. The drinks always come out perfect and timely. I especially wanted to thank Ezra as she was so polite, and helpful. She stopped what she was doing to ask if I needed assistance and was very helpful in explaining seasonal drinks and making me feel welcomed. I really appreciate how friendly they all are considering how busy they always are. Wonderful location. My only complaint is there is no restroom!

    Waikele Starbucks Is The Bomb! Way Better The The Waipahu Location! Waikele Makes Your Drinks Exactly How You Want It & Their Staff Is Supper Friendly. Unlike The Waipahu Location Thanks Waikele Starbucks You Guys Are Great!!

My only complaint was that there was a lot of ice and pudding, so there's not that much "drink." The banana pudding was also really thick, probably better to eat with a spoon. Overall would recommend!

The line moves quickly, so ordering isn't a pain at all! I ordered their calamansi dreamsicle and my husband got their root beer float, and both were 10/10! I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could've tried more of their flavors (like their strawberry guava one)! First off, the calamansi dreamsicle was really refreshing and creamy; it had hints of citrus, with a lemon/orange taste, perfect for a warm summer afternoon! My husband had the root beer float, which had their house-made vanilla ice cream and root beer from Maui Brewing Company (I didn't even know they made root beer)! It was delicious as well- I loved that I was able to see little black specks of vanilla bean in the ice cream, and the root beer had hints of honey in it! My husband and I knew the root beer tasted different (in a good way), but couldn't put our finger on it until I read the ingredients and saw that honey was one of them! Super yummy!! All in all, my husband and I agreed that we'll be coming back again to try different flavors!
