Nicole is a rockstar for making our coffee taste amazing! The coffee was rich and perfectly brewed, and the atmosphere has such a warm, welcoming Hawaiian vibe. The baristas are friendly, attentive, and really make you feel at home. Whether I’m grabbing a quick cup or sitting down to enjoy a latte, it’s always a great experience. Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious coffee and great service!

The staff is super helpful in explaining the options and the drinks are sweet without overpowering the high quality coffee taste. We had the Hawaiian tuxedo and the Kona dark with half n half and coconut flavor

best coffee in san diego ngl. the better buzz right next to it doesn't taste as good. always consistent in terms of service and taste. I have been going here for the past 3 years and never had a bad experience ...

First and foremost is the aloha spirit and feeling of o'hana (family). Second, but not by any means less than, is the cold brew coffees. The selection of cold brew is a virtual tour of the Hawaiian islands! From the light to the dark, the strongest cup of cold brew is equivalent to 12 shots of espresso! The choices of milk and sweeteners will make any lactose intolerant person jump for joy. The best sweetener by far is the Haupia, home made coconut sweetener! They even save your drink in the system so you can just say, I'll have what I had last time," cause I wouldn't know what I had! On a side note, I would love to see more fresh baked goods with the same islands flavor, maybe some malasadas, our macadamia nut cookies! The decor is a little dark, doesn't quite remind me of Hawaii, but it is chic. Over all a must try, I'll definitely be back!

The best coffee in Bonita/Chula Vista. Better than Starbucks. Better than Better Buzz. Support this small business I always get the large, iced almond joy coffee with strong caffeine

Super chill Hawaiin coffee shop located at the Bonita Plaza Shopping Mall. Parking was a little tight, but I was able to find a spot on Saturday morning. The young lady that took my order was super nice as was the young man that made my drink. I believe they only serve drinks - no food. Quality of coffee was great. Low key spot where you can get some work done. Quality of coffee was excellent. Looking forward to visiting again.

This Hawaiian coffee spot is amazing!!! I highly recommend the Lavender Haupia Latte.

Stopped in today to grab my husband a coffee and myself a matcha. They had a ton of options. I got a blended Matcha Coconut. It was delicious. My husband really enjoyed my matcha too. Very reasonable prices.
