    Two iced cold brews...one with milk and one with 1/2 and 1/2
    Joe K.

    Cute little coffee shop in downtown Honolulu's restaurant row. Here with Mark y. Killing time. Decided to get a coffee. I am not a fan of ridiculous dessert-like coffee concoctions...that's not coffee! We ordered iced cold brews. The girl at the counter sweetly informed us that if we wanted anything but black we needed to let them know because they seal the coffees. Had no clue what that meant ...but ok. I had milk in mine. The coffees were indeed sealed with a pop top. Cute presentation. And the coffee was darn good!

    Drinks were great I loved my vietnamese coffee with cold foam on top. I ordered online 10 min prior and my drinks were ready as soon as I got there! Definitely coming back, I loved the uniqueness of the cups and being able to open it when you'd like. Store is super cute for sure, outdoor seating too!

    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.

    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.

    Menu (10/2025)

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 :))

    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 finished my drink within 5 minutes. I didn't order any food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. The menu is extensive with plenty of options, making it a great place for brunch whether you're craving something sweet or savory. The café also has a small section selling Island Vintage merchandise, which is fun to browse while you're waiting. If you choose to sit outside, don't be surprised if a few birds decide to join you for breakfast and they're regulars too.. Overall, despite the longer wait for drinks, the quality of the coffee, inviting atmosphere, and tempting menu make this a spot I'd happily visit again.

I don't want to be that person when this place has an overall rating of 4.5 but this is just my honest opinion. I got the blue dream and yes it was very ascetically pleasing, but it was just too icy. Before coming to this place i read a couple of reviews that also said the same thing and i didn't understand what that meant, but now I do. There are a lot of flavorless, just regular, small shards of ice in the bowl. On top of that, the moment I received my bowl, it was already borderline melted. So that got me thinking, how can it be melted and icy at the same time? The only explanation that I can think of is just ice additive/fillers. It's not pure cold acai or whatever is in the bowl you choose, but there's a mixture of ice in it too. Yes I understand, it's Waikiki, everything is more expensive, but the added topping prices on top of the already expensive bowl prices just don't make sense. You want a beautiful looking bowl with a lot of different toppings, yet some toppings can go up to 1 dollar PER topping. I don't know if I've just been spoiled by a couple places in SoCal, but at those places they have unlimited toppings and those bowls are the best that there is. I'm not bringing any bias from other locations, but this is just an honest review based on my experience today.
