The food and drinks were really good: -Island Style Plate: Very fresh and satisfying, complete with eggs, savory portuguese sausage, fresh papaya, avocado, a side salad, and grilled asparagus. -Braised Beef Loco Moco: Super rich and flavorful comfort food with tender braised beef and fluffy eggs over rice. Drinks: The iced matcha latte was smooth and perfectly balanced, and the mango smoothie was refreshingly sweet and vibrant. Definitely a 5-star visit--we'll certainly be coming back.

This cafe is best to enter through the lobby (if you're not a guest there) The staff is nice and at 7am, there's not really a line so I would suggest going early. They have your usual selection of drinks and definitely a little pricier than Starbucks but I think it's convenient if you're staying at any of the hotels at the KoOlina Bay. The main thing to note about this cafe is the ambiance. 10/10 views and it's so relaxing and calming just sitting on the chairs that overlook the ocean.

Ambiance is great as it is in Four Seasons.

The macadamia nut coffee was delicious too, and they even had a whole selection of coffee creamers right on the table, which was such a great touch.

The prices are reasonable, being that you're getting a great meal with good ingredients and supporting a nice little local business spot. Our food costs were $25-$19 per meal and it was worth it. Super tasty, and especially loved the chorizo gravy on the country fried steak!

It's great to see their cups are being filled with business. Soon as I walked in I was greeted & was helped immediately. The lady who took my order was very pleasant and greeted me with a smile. For myself I ordered an iced white chocolate mocha large. Came with 4 shots of espresso and choice of milk. I got it with heavy cream. Let me say it was made perfect! A little sweet but not overly sweet. Great balance of the espresso and sweetness. I'll definitely order this again. Cute little coffee shop. I noticed there were a few table games to play inside while you wait or enjoy your drink/food. There's outdoor seating and on street parking. Other parking stalls are located on the side of the swimming pool marked. "Local Joe." In hunt for a new coffee spot? Stop by Local Joes in Ho'opili & Support local.

I also like how the tea wasn't excessively sweet or had a lot of ice. The drink was really refreshing and tasty. Probably the thing I liked the most was all the traditional Asian snacks at reasonable prices for purchase. Staff was friendly too. This is my new go to boba place in Kapolei.

I decided to try one of the local favorites (designated on the menu with cat paws) -- macadamia nut. It was a little too sweet for me, so I got my son to switch his brown sugar milk tea, which I liked better. The boba had good texture, but I would have liked it a little sweeter. My milk tea standards are pretty high, and this was decent. Better than Teapresso but not as good as Seven Leaves in So Cal. They have a little shopping area with snacks if you need something to go with your drink.

Getting there took us some time- A) my husband and I were driving from the Aiea area to Ewa Beach... on a Friday afternoon, and B) parking was a pain, but we were able to find street parking pretty quickly. We knew what we were getting into before our drive, and I'm so glad we did because it was well worth the trip! The ice cream shop is fairly small- can't hold a lot of people and no seating inside, but there's plenty of tables outside, and the weather outside was just perfect with some sun and a breeze! 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!

Got a single scoop of one of their signature flavors, Kaua'i Kulolo. Fantastic with bits of kulolo imbeded in each sweet and creamy scoop. Hours are from 12 noon till 800p, from Wednesday thru Friday. Weekends they operate from 800a to 800p. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

I took my bowl to the pick-up end of the counter and waited... A matcha-looking drink appeared, so I grabbed it. As I was taking a photo, a man said that was his drink. Really? He arrived after me. Oh, well... I went back to the pick-up area and one of the gals started making my Cookies and Cream matcha ice blended... with whipped cream and crumbs on the top... with a domed cover! Ohhh... it looks fancier than that man's matcha drink... I guess I won't be ordering it again because the "Cookies", even though they're grounded up, are distracting to drink. I felt like I needed to chew them... haha! And the Roasted Veggie bowl was a bit spicy in a peppery way... Thanks for the free bowl!
