I ordered a Strawberry Matcha Cream in the regular size. I was sooooooo delicious!! I saw the strawberry and matcha blend and it was so beautiful. I love the vibe here and the cashier was very chill and nice. THANK YOUUUU

I'm a picky coffee drinker & I ordered their caramel iced macchiato aka Carmel latte. It was really freaking good! Great customer service and look how cute it was! Mmm I'll be back!

This place was a godsend for me. I was staying on the North Shore but wanted to go hiking on the windward side, I wanted to get a REALLY early start. These kind souls open at 5:30 am. And they are surprisingly kind while not being over cheery. (we all know non-morning people can't tolerate a lot of cheer in the mornings from pro-morning people) I'm not a great judge of coffee, but the coffee here was solid. It didn't hurt that this was walking distance to our AirBnB. I know, I know it's a chain...and I'm on vacation in Hawaii. Still, the friendliness and early-openness override the chainyness. (take that, Grammar National Socialists!)

Convenient Foodland Location.

Chain store coffee? Really? Mikey, why you go somewhere on vacation and patronize the same chains you do at home? Um, ok, good question. Grew up in Berkeley. Always thought of myself as an independent coffee shop kind of guy. Recently sent a mouth swab to 23 and Me. Found out I'm not as indie as I thought. Barely indie at all. To my chagrin, my chromosomes revealed I'm about 60% Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and 35% Peet's. So, yeah, I know. 5% indie. That's just sad. But, yeah, whatever, I don't care. Because, the thing is, I go to CB&TL for a reason: their espresso drinks are consistently excellent. Had a terrific latte here. They took care to make it just exactly as I like it. Nothing fancy, ok? No super cute animal pictures in the foam. Just a damn good espresso. Mikey C says: I'm fine with that.

This is a convenient location off the highway in the North shore. It's connected to the grocery market so you can shop and get a good coffee. It's popular but the service is quick. I recommend this place.

Gang this is the Extra Large Hazelnut coffee extreme with whipped cream! Oh yeah...
Wallyn C.

First time ever seeing an extra large coffee...I'm in heaven! Uts only $7.32 say what!!! Loving it...plus the girls were really nice!

My fave!! Dark chocolate blend!!!

Went to Ted's everyday that I was staying in the North Shore and everything we had was delicious…read more For breakfast I loved the spam egg and cheese sandwich, so good! We also tried the loco moco which was great, but it's quite a bit of food. I shared with my partner and we weren't able to finish it. One of my friends who used to live in Honolulu told me I HAVE to get the garlic shrimp and Ted's is where it's at. She was absolutely right about that!!! Best garlic shrimp I had on the trip. I wish I could go back just for the plate. We also tried the chocolate haupia pie which was delicious & the plain glazed was soooo light and fluffy. Plenty of parking in the lot & access to a public restroom. It can get busy but they're very quick with your food. Seating is outside under an umbrella.

Normally I just get a pie from the grocery store. I'm so glad they sell them there. But we went in and were standing by the register and didn't get addressed for a few minutes. It was just weird because workers walked by but didn't say anything. They just seemed really upset about being there. I can understand cause it might have just been really busy and a long day or something. I've had the food before which I remember as being ok. I just love the chocolate haupia pie. I hope it was just a one time bad day from the workers as well. Again, I don't normally go there so I'm not sure.

My husband got their Turkey Avocado Aioli sandwich and I got their Tropical Bowl. We got there at 7am so parking was plentiful and no wait at all. Service was quick and easy too.

We waited about 5 minutes for someone to come take our order and a young woman walked up, he was very unenthusiastic, took our order then said "what was the other thing you said?" Very informal. Then after I paid there was no thank you or anything like that, I looked up at her to see if the payment went through and she was looking down at her phone. I thought that was extremely unacceptable but maybe she wasnt having a good day.. We ordered the Blue Dream Bowl, an Acai Smoothie and a Fresh Pesto Chicken Sandwhich. The Blue Dream Bowl was so good, fresh fruit, not too cold and thr granola was the right amount of sweet. The Acai smoothies was good, a little boring but a safe choice for sure. And the Freah Pesto Chicken Sandwich was good but not that good.. the bread was hard and hurt the roof of my mouth when I bit into it and the chips it came with were just okay. Overall a cute place, I'm glad I tried it but i won't be back.

Ho'olana is the main coffee shop for the Ritz Carlton, meaning that you can expect a big line for that coffee rush in the morning. We got their iced strawberry matcha latte, which was really good, sweet, and had dairy substitutes available. We also got a banana bread and a muffin, both of which were okay, but not great. We came back the next day and got their banana bread latte was good, and has more of that caffeine kick if that's what you're looking for. We also ordered the açaí bowl, which was definitely pricey for the size, AND they ran out of strawberries, which was unfortunate. The açaí bowl was okay, but not worth the price for what it was. You can skip this one. The most notable thing, though, was the customer service. The ladies taking orders and preparing the pre-made food were very poor in customer service, help, and not willing to assist what-so-ever. They always seemed annoyed that people were ordering, and put a damper on the overall whole cafe experience. My grandma, who wanted to come here for her birthday in the morning, had additionally wanted to ask them what time they opened, as they had just closed, but instead of answering the question, or referring her online, they cut her off and said that they were closed, so they won't be assisting further. If you want anything other than a drink or a pastry, like a sandwich, then you should also expect a pre-made sandwich ALL with mustard and mayonnaise. All of them (is at least what they said when we asked if any didn't have that.) Thankfully, the view from the windows in the coffee lounge seating area makes up for some of the bad vibes.

We shared the pecan pie, pineapple muffin, and pumpkin muffin. I really liked the pecan pie crust. Both the muffins were moist, and I enjoyed the chunks of fruit in the pineapple one. I wanted to get savory food, but they were sold out by the time we got there. I also got a golden turmeric latte. I don't really know what I was expecting from a golden turmeric latte, but it just tasted earthy. Nothing amazing about it, but I'm sure it had great health benefits. Service was super friendly even though it was rather busy when we went. There was lots of seating in this cute covered area separated from the shop. I liked how quiet it was compared to the inside of the shop where they are calling out orders. I'm so sad that this place is closing after serving Haleiwa for so many years!

How sad! :( This has been a go to place for a cup of coffee and something sweet if I was in Haleiwa in the mornings. Also buy locally grown and fresh ground coffee...a lot of times for gifts. Sigh... gotta try to find a new place, but nothing can replace the Coffee Gallery... Got 6 more days for those who wanna make that last stop...
