    Watermelon  Juice
    Erica H.

    A popular little spot at Restaurant Row. I met here for a business luncheon. This is an area surrounded by HPU students but it was actually quite a nice spot to sit outside at one of the tables and enjoy a chat and food from The Porch Honolulu. They have an array of juices, teas and coffee choices that they mix into these plastic bottles that they assemble soda caps onto. It's quite cute. The drinks can come out in really pretty layers, very colorful. Sandwiches, breakfast or lunch options, all sounded pretty good. From about $6 to $14 or so. Everyone working there seemed excited to answer questions and point out the variety, since what they have to offer is fun, some including ube, etc.

    This was a great spot to get a cool refreshing drink on a warm day. The staff are very friendly and the area is well kept. There is plenty of outdoor seating in the shaded open breezes. I had the açaí smoothie. Very flavorful, this really hit the spot. This is also an interesting location for people watching and just meeting others.

    The Island Bowl.. been that girl, still that girl Staff are so sweet here and even though it's busy around lunch time they are pretty fast with service. p.s. let them know if you are a student for the student discount.

    Banana Milk Matcha & Strawberry Matcha

    I love coming here whenever I am at the Waterfront Plaza. Parking is located in the structure and they validate your parking with a $10+ purchase. Staff is extremely friendly. I was told that the owner, Sharon, is also the sweetest. They give a 10% discount for any HPU student with proof of identification. I come here for their savory drinks, especially their seasonal specials. If I need energy, I order a kicker. There's ample seating outside of Porch and at the Waterfront in general. I haven't tried their food but I recommend their drinks and would definitely come in again.

    Love this Breakfast spot! I like their simple menu with some solid classic breakfast items. We ordered turkey pesto and sunrise eggcado. When I opened the boxes I said to myself "wow the ingredients look really fresh!". There were no overpowering seasonings or gravy so you can really taste the food. The portion was smaller than I thought but I was really happy with the quality of the food. And the price was quite reasonable. Sevice was quick. There are many benches outside so you can just relax and enjoy your breakfast. And there are many students there studying or discussing about their projects. Just great vibe there!

    Amazing atmosphere plenty of food and drink options. Service was beyond amazing definitely recommend this place will be coming back again!

    Farmers Market smoothie
    Eri K.

    The Porch has been on my bookmarks list for a while and I finally was able to try it as we were in the area. It is a cute cafe in Ward Village nearby the office buildings. We went during a weekday afternoon and so there were lots of students and medical professionals as Straub is nearby and HPU as well as a surgical center (appears to be private practice?). Parking: structured parking, paid. They do validate but they have a minimum purchase of $10 Service: fast, efficient, friendly. Ambience: Tables and chairs are available outside (not inside) and therefore is not covered so if it's raining, you can get wet. The establishment itself is small and clean. Food: I cannot comment on the food as I did not opt to purchase food at this time, but the drink I had was the farmers market smoothie (~$9), which had kale, banana, apple juice, etc. It was fresh and just what I wanted. Tip: Public restrooms are located inside the parking structure close by. You may need to press the button/buzzer to obtain entrance inside as the door can get locked.

    Hojicha latte!
    Romyn S.

    The Hojicha latte was so GOOD!! I would come again to get this and to try the other drinks. It's cute how they put their drink in a soda can type of top so you can take it to go and then open it when you're ready. I was like this would be great for parties and gatherings. And if you have extras then it'll stay good for a bit. Atmosphere - Cute, it's in the Row Kaka'ako and there's seating everywhere outside so you can just sit there. The place itself does not have seating inside as you walk in and it's their items and service counter and such. It's cute and brightly colored. Service - Great, they were friendly and I didn't see the hojicha latte on their current menu but saw it online so inquired and they answered my questions and said they could make it! Cost - $7 - 8 Parking - You can get validation if you spend over $10. If not then it's around $3 for every 30 minutes or something like that. Location - Row Kaka'ako near the waterfront. Never been here before and other cool restaurants like Aloha Mamacita. I would definitely try their other drinks because they have matcha ones and I wanted to try the ube matcha, mango matcha and strawberry matcha!

    Cute candles

    Came here a little over a week ago. Parked in waterfront plaza structure. Parking should be free with validation (but I'm not sure up to how many hours). There was a bit of a line, so we ordered online. It took about 15 minutes to get our food and drinks. There's tables outside but can get claimed by HPU students. The turkey pesto was good! Getting something on a toasted croissant is always the move. My friend had the egg salad bagel and she enjoyed it. As far as drinks, I wasn't too impressed. There wasn't too strong of a coffee taste in either as they were both very sweet. The plastic container they come in is cute, but ultimately of no further use, unless maybe you can recycle? I'd say everything is pretty reasonably priced. Would come back if I had a choice, but wouldn't go out of my way.

    First, a big mahalo to all the Oahu foodies and influencers who shared this hidden gem without you, I wouldn't have discovered it! As an iced matcha lover, I was instantly drawn to this cafe's beautiful aesthetic, thoughtful packaging and overall vibe. Absolutely 10/10 on presentation and concept. I tried the Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte with oat milk and while it was visually gorgeous, the matcha was a little lighter than I usually prefer the milk and strawberry purée took center stage, so it had more of a creamy, milky flavor. Perfect for anyone who enjoys a softer, less earthy matcha. Next time, I'll happily order it again but with an extra scoop of matcha powder for that deeper flavor kick. The ambience is bright and airy, with a few outdoor tables to enjoy the breeze. It's the kind of spot that instantly lifts your mood I would say. The staff were all smiles, super friendly and happy to guide me through their menu (which has so many tempting options, it's hard to choose!). Their warmth and helpfulness made the whole visit even sweeter. Can't wait to come back and explore more of their drinks and treats :))

    Steak Sandwich
    Jay W.

    This place is located in restaurant row. They validate parking. The ambiance is quick serve. The service is good and they are fast with your food. I came here for breakfast with my kid so we both got different things. The steak sandwich is mediocre then what i expected. I hardly got steak and a ton of avacado. The salad was okay. The bread was super thick. The steak hardly had seasoning, i was disappointed. 2.7/5. The sliders were amazing. The bread was hot and soft and they packed it with eggs. The bacon could be done a bit more but nonetheless it was good. 3.9/5. The strawberry lemonade was super good. Not too sweet and not too sour, that deserves a 5/5. Mango matcha was a disappointment. The matcha was bland and the mangos hardly helped the flavor. I wish i got something else instead. 2/5.

    Caprese Sandwich and O.G Acai Bowl
    Kyra H.

    The porch is always very welcoming and bubbly! i love coming here for both the food and drinks. they constantly have special drinks that circle in and out of their seasonal menu to keep things interesting.

    8/26/25 Breakfast burrito  +avocado
    Kathy R.

    08/26/25 First time eating food from this place. I did not eat at this restaurant. After a morning group walk nearby, a friend of ours picked up some breakfast for us. I had the breakfast burrito +avocado. I thought this burrito tasted good with the typical ingredients of hash brown, bacon, eggs, cheese, & added avocado. It is not a very big burrito, about 6" long but somehow it was just enough to feel satisfied without feeling overly stuffed. It came with a small container that had both salsa sauce & sour cream in it. I couldn't make out what kind of cheese was in it but it wasn't shredded but a slice. It may have been American cheese or cheddar. Tried to view the menu on their website/online menu but it did not specifically say. Overall, it was ok, nothing to write home about and it made for a quick breakfast.

I've walked out of the way from hotels just to get coffee and pastries here. I'm not even a pastry person, but this place made me care. The coffee, the croissants, the sandwiches. It used to feel expensive but justified because the quality was there. This last visit felt like the magic was gone. We came back during a long family trip with our two young kids, and the service was cold from the start. One employee seemed more interested in her phone and side conversations than the customers in front of her. The coffee was handed over messily, with liquid spilled on top like nobody cared enough to wipe it down. My wife also asked for a cup of ice when there were barely any people in line and instead of simply helping, the response was curt and dismissive, as if asking for something small was an inconvenience. The frustrating part is that this place built its reputation on details. Great coffee. Excellent pastries. Long lines that felt worth it because you were getting something special. Now it feels overpriced, indifferent and tired. Maybe the pastries are still good. Maybe the coffee is still technically good. But when the hospitality disappears, the whole experience changes. What used to feel like a destination now feels like another expensive Waikiki coffee counter coasting on reputation. I hate writing this because this place used to be a must visit for us. But after this trip, I'm done making the trek.

Bluetree has become one of my top coffee shops in town for checking all of these boxes! There's parking in their structure (scan QR code in the cafe to register your license plate #), plenty of seating inside (upstairs/downstairs), and WiFi if you plan on doing work. My go-to drink as of recently has been their Kulolo Crunch Latte. I also loved their Coconut Cloud Matcha -- they use Wai Koko coconut water! For the most part, people in the shop are doing work and being productive so it's not too overstimulating like many coffee shops I've been to.

I could see she was busy, so I waited patiently. However, I wasn't greeted or acknowledged with something simple like, "I'll be right with you." After a few minutes, she was ready to take my order, but the interaction felt a bit awkward. She initially just stared at me without saying anything before eventually saying "hi." While taking my order, she also didn't ask what size drink I wanted. After a few more minutes, my drink was finished and placed on the counter without any verbal acknowledgment. The overall customer service felt lacking and not very welcoming. As for the drink itself, I had been excited to try the Kulolo Crunch Latte, but since I've been on a matcha kick lately, I decided to order the Kulolo Crunch Matcha instead. The drink was ok overall. It wasn't overly sweet, which many people will appreciate, and the dominant flavors were coconut and macadamia nut. The matcha flavor was fairly mild and didn't stand out as much as I expected. While it wasn't my favorite matcha drink I've had, it was still good. One thing I did really like was the ambiance. The cafe has a clean, modern feel and is spread across two floors, which gives it plenty of seating. It seems like a great place to study, work remotely, or just relax with a drink. The space felt comfortable and inviting, and I could see myself spending time there. Overall, the service left a lot to be desired, but the drink was decent and the atmosphere was enjoyable. I'd be willing to give Blue Tree Cafe another chance and return in the future to try some of their other menu items.
