    Passion Fruit Ice Tea
    Denise J.

    After shopping at Foodland Farms I stopped by Coffee Bean Tea Leaf. I ordered an iced Passion Fruit tea $4.39 This location is located inside Foodland Farms. I had my drink in hand within minutes.

    mo joe monday special

    Although only accepting cash I ordered the mo joe monday special. Pineapple yuzu cold brew tea. It's tasty with bits of real pineapple. Friendly service and they even merged my stamp card into one. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I see signs limiting seating for Foodland customers for 2 hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]One table was dirty which was surprising since it was before 11 am....its probably Foodland's responsibility to clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Other areas were clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Mo'joe Mondays at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf inside of Foodland Farms at Ala Moana Center... On Instagram, the Regular Ube Coconut beverages were on sale for $4! Ooh! I wanna try! ...especially since my Loyalty Card is almost filled! Yay! I easily parked for free - right in front! I appreciate the covered parking! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside, the counter is to the left of the entrance. Order at the front, then go around the side to the left to pick up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a lot of counter seats and tables in the back - if you want to hang out, but the internet reception wasn't too good for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was efficient, but i had to remind the gal that it was Mo'joe Mondays ($4). I wasn't able to make the Ube Coconut Ice Blended Affogato into a non-dairy beverage. The dairy is in the powder... Ok... I'll drink it at home... haha! I liked it! The Ube Coconut flavor balanced out the bitterness of the coffee. I'll be back for another special... maybe on Thursday!

    I love coming here! Located inside of Foodland Farms, it's a super convenient location. They give out a stamp card and have specials every Monday and Thursday. Service is quick and they have a good variety of baked goods, salads, coffees and lemonades. I actually think they have some products/food that's better than Starbucks and I find the service to be much quicker. Today I tried a large pumpkin ice blend for $5 Thursday and it was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend.

    Ube affogato, ube blend with espresso shot and whipped cream

    Wow, just amazing! There was a decent line, but it moved fast. They have a TV that rotates different drinks and the Ube Affogato caught my eye! The Cashier, i think her name was Minnie, was so sweet and asked if I wanted whipped cream. Of course, who doesn't. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I visit this coffee bean, i do sometimes notice the ledge and glass are dirty. This time, they were clean, like squeeky clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There were 3 workers in total, very efficient and seemed to work together very well. I waited I'd say maybe a minute or so, pretty fast for my drink. When I go to other locations, it can sometimes take up to 5 minutes!! The lady who gave me my drink had a really nice smile, I noticed she was laughing with other customers and it seemed like she really loved her job. I believe her name tag said Isabelle or Isebella, but she mentioned that the affogato was her new favorite drink and if I enjoy it I should try it with "Thai walls" next time. Some of the best customer service I've had from coffee place like Starbucks, or even other Coffee Beans on island. The drink was so Ono and delicious!!! I will definitely try it with Thai walls next time :)

    The WORST location I've encountered. Waited a good 30 minutes for a large latte & a croissant. That's wild...

    "All I know about walruses is that, out of all mammals, they have the second-largest..." - 50 First Dates These girls. Oh! These girls (said in the most respectful woke way) that work here in the early mornings are the best! Always pleasant, professional, and present. First, you must understand how spoiled I am being in Japan all summer and waking up to the best baristas in the world. Ganbatte spirit a fabric of Japan society. I'm back in Honolulu for some personal business and one of my favorite stops is this Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf that's located in Foodland Farms Ala Moana. No worries lots of area to sit, but I take it to go. It's important to know it's not just any Coffee Bean, it's this specific location where the employees make the difference. In American coffee shops I've encountered more mediocrity than exceptional, however the employees here are the exception. Oh! And they make on-point drinks and that $2+ carrot cake to die for! I've been here dozens of times and realized I never wrote a review so shame on me for taking it for granted. On my latest visits I picked up IG promotional drinks: Mango Matcha Iced Latté, Mango Iced Blended, Li Hing Lemonade. Always a large and served with a Ganbatte spirit with Aloha 5-stars smile. Okay, I admit I also have a mad crush on two lol. Jaじゃあね Please follow my adventures on IG: @eric_travel_guru

    Egg bite

    Just a follow up review, Coffee Bean was out of the bacon egg bites so they added bacon to the egg white egg bites! Tell me if Starbucks would do that . Once again enjoyed the excellent service! . Shoutout to the Foodland Farms Coffee Bean Sunday morning crew. Will be coming back again no doubt!

    Blended Iced Ultimate Mocha (espresso beans added to regular blended iced mocha)
    Sharon M.

    I stopped drinking coffee for a little over a year but was introduced to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf by my friends who go often to the Ala Moana Foodland Farms location. I was very hesitant as I never ordered anything from here and usually just go to Starbucks for drinks. What a life changer! I decided to try the iced blended mocha that my friends normally order. I asked the girl who was helping me if they could add espresso beans to it and she said yes. I was even more excited. She said that I could order it as a black forest without cherries or as an ultimate mocha. It usually comes with whip but i prefer no whip. Now the ultimate mocha is my go to and I've been hooked. It tastes like an ice blended hot chocolate with espresso beans. I also like how it does not make me crash after drinking it. I absolute love coming to this location because the workers including Emily the Manager are very friendly and they are very consistent with their orders. I have never been disappointed and I love the service here.

    I stopped by here yesterday morning for a coffee and a malasada. While traveling I try to hit up a…read morenew local coffee shop every day and on this morning it happened to be Maleko Coffee and Pastries. This might be one of the only places in Waikiki open at 4 AM which is perfect if you've just arrived the night before from the East Coast. The inside of the shop feels homey. They have a display case full of pastries along with additional baked goods set out nearby. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a coconut latte and then ordered a blueberry malasada while my father went with a custard-filled one. At Maleko, the malasadas are pre-made but not filled until you order which I think is a smart move. I first tried my blueberry malasada and thought it was good. The dough was light and fluffy and the filling had a great flavor. As for my coffee, I have to agree with other reviews that the syrup made it overly sweet. I still drank it, but I definitely would have preferred something less sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again for the malasadas. As for the coffee, I would probably pass unless you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side.

    I came in because I saw that they had vegan donuts. He said I could do guava, blueberry, or plain,…read morebut he recommended the guava. It was less than three dollars including tax, so definitely affordable. The guava filling was great, but the donut itself was kind of bland. If it weren't so cheap, I would have given it three stars. But it was a good deal and I might go back.

    Delicious all around! Such a fantastic breakfast/brunch spot, and I'd definitely come back…read more // Smoked Ahi Salad (Ahi is served as a spread!) A great high-protein, lower-carb way to start the day! The salad had a nice variety of colors, textures, and crunch from the pistachios and onions. It also came with a small cup of sweet and savory dressing that tied everything together beautifully. The smoked ahi spread was fresh, flavorful, and not overly fishy. It was served with a slice of freshly toasted garlic bread that was warm, fragrant, and perfectly crisp without being overly toasted. // Wailua Moana Açaí Bowl So refreshing! Easily one of the best açaí bowls we've had. The texture was thick and smooth with a great balance of fresh fruit, crunchy granola, and healthy fats from the nuts. Every bite was delicious. // Matcha We ordered both the regular matcha latte with coconut foam and the strawberry matcha latte. I was so disappointed they no longer offer the lilikoi matcha- I know that flavor combination would've been amazing! Hopefully they bring it back someday. The matcha itself was on the lighter side compared to richer ceremonial matchas, but it was still smooth, well-balanced, and not at all astringent. It paired really well with the oat milk, and both drinks were enjoyable. There was a line out the door during breakfast/brunch hours, which shows just how popular this place is. Despite the crowd, the service was friendly and efficient, and we were able to grab a small table to dine in. It's located on the upper level of the Royal Hawaiian Center, making it a convenient stop while shopping in Waikiki. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu (hoping the lilikoi matcha will make a comeback too)!

    Ala Moana location - closed. Royal Hawaiian Shopping center…read morelocation - closed. This is the only standing Kulu Kulu and I hope this place does not close, or if it does relocate, come closer to Central Oahu where the rent is cheaper, haha (hint). This location is on the outer edges of Waikiki on Hobron Lane in Eaton Square. I rarely venture to Waikiki, and if I do make the dreaded drive to "town", this place and Kan Sushi will be the only regular places where I will make my stop(s), because its so worth it. I've had a long-standing love-affair with Kulu Kulu from the Shirokiya Food Court location with it's waffle bears and Hello Kitty waffles, the takeout Nama Chocolate cups stocked at Mitsuwa Marketplace and now here, in town. The Ube Coconut Mousse $6.95 blew our minds, it was THE best tasting thing, ever. Both the ube and the coconut were not cloying, and as with all of their treats, not overly sweet either. That's why I love Japanese pastries, they get the sweetness just perfect and I have no idea how they mastermind that ratio! Strawberry Panna Cotta $5.95 was creamy, flavorful, delicious and surprisingly light and refreshing for such a creamy dessert. I normally don't get this kind of combination of flavors, and it tasted like something you'd get in a Michellin-rated establishment. Looking back at the photos, I see vanilla bean seeds in the panna cotta, so every loving detail and nuance shows through with each mouthful. Nama Chocolate $5.75 is my go-to chocolate LOVE. It's cut into cool creamy semi-sweet squares dusted with cocoa and it melts in your mouth! This is my favorite of all things that Kulu Kulu makes. I actually enjoy this better than the famous Royce Chocolates from Japan. We ordered another seasonal Strawberry dessert slice cake but it was eaten before I could review (and/or taste it); I've heard it was very very delicious. This place is so good that I plan to bring my friends who will be visiting from Virginia here to try their pastries. I also plan to support this business for as long as I can and make more frequent trips to town just to get these amazing desserts.
