    Thursday special! $4.00 for Ice blended or Pure Ice Blended! We just had a fantastic lunch at Little Plum and my daughter wanted to have a coffee. She remembered about CBT and we walked over here. The service was fast and friendly. This location is clean and well stocked. Many food options here. The drink is still quite sweet at 1/2 sweet lol. Could be I'm just full! Drink: 3/5 stars Ambiance: 3.5/5 stars Service: 5/5 stars

    I'm a Starbucks person, but it's good to switch it up every once in a while I love that they do drinks like piña cola and lava flow. Lately, I've been into their Valencia Orange Cream Cold Brew. I love that cold brew tea with the cream on the top. Recently, someone posted their Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf flask with the Tokidoki design on it. I was looking everywhere for it. I came to this store and there was one left staring right at me. I couldn't believe my luck. It was their Lunar New Year edition $24. Score! Another bottle for my collection, lol.

    I think this is the largest Coffee Bean & Tea that I've been to. Very nice and cozy feeling. They even have a mini library dedicated in memory to a former patron. Wailea took my order. She is so sweet and gracious! She made my visit so pleasant! It is so refreshing to see " young ones" that are so professional and live out true " Aloha"- style customer service!!

    A bug

    On May 22 ,2025 I ordered a cup of ice and saw a bug inside my ice. I didn't see it till a couple bites of ice.

    Letting 3 orders that came after mine get their order before me is bad customer service. I always have to ask for a carrier even when ordering 2 drinks.

    Friendly staff and good coffee drinks. This is a good place to study and do work. Plenty of seating and outlets for charging phones and laptops. I like to order the Vietnamese Cold Brew Latte.

    I don't go to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf much anymore and certainly only been in the Manoa Marketplace locale a few times. It has been awhile since I've patronized this store but ordered a Vanilla Ice Blended. TCBTL is my preferred coffee franchise...think they have some of the better ice blended (i.e. coffee milkshakes) around, to include those from any specialty coffee shop. Yes, today in the Valley, it was wet, windy, and smoky - there was a house fire on a side street (Kanu) just off Lowrey Ave. But regardless of the semi-wintertime weather (for Hawaii anyway) I needed to be refreshed and it was the usual good ice blended. Ample parking available in the lot. Store was nice and fairly clean...sat at the counter.

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.

For our first meal, we ordered the Braised Beef Loco Moco, the Lox of Bagel, the Cacao Moana Acai Bowl, the Island Latte, and the Acai Smoothie. The braised beef loco moco was delllllish. The meat was so tender and flavorful. The lox of bagel tasted very fresh. I ordered the purple potatoes on the side and wow...they were so sweet and crispy. The island latte was yummy! A little too sweet for my usual coffee order but I was on vacation. Hehe. The cacao moana acai bowl was by far my favorite thing I ordered. Just the presentation alone was awesome. The flower was such a pretty detail. But the flavor, of course, was what brought me back the next day to get it again. Our second meal here we got the Bacon Breakfast Bagel, the Kalua Pork Benedict, the Hawaiian Honey Latte, and the Cacao Moana Acai Bowl (AGAIN). I recommend the Hawaiian Honey Latte over the Island Latte. The Kalua pork benedict was SO GOOD. The pork was very moist and the portion was huge. I will absolutely come back here when I return to Oahu one day :)

After ordering, we were fortunately able to grab a table indoors to enjoy our afternoon sweet treats. LILIKO'I MOANA BOWL - 15.25 I really like liliko'i, so I immediately gravitated toward this acai bowl. It was on the smaller side at 16 oz, but topped generously with strawberry, papaya, banana, liliko'i honey, and organic granola. It was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I did enjoy the variety of fruit toppings! My friend got the mango smoothie, which she thought was fine. Overall, Island Vintage Coffee isn't a bad spot for acai, but I can't say it was my favorite in Waikiki.

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.
