from Google & Yelp"GREAT experience here! Craving a deep, rich espresso. Macchiato wasn't on their menu but they easily made me one! Coconut macchiato with oat milk. Quick drive up service with awesome staff. The location is between Jack in the Box and Bellows Campsite. Awesome job🤙🏽"
"Holoholo Drive Thru Espresso is the kind of place that makes you question every latte you’ve ever politely tolerated. Let’s get this out of the way: yes, it’s a drive-thru. Yes, you’re ordering through a window. And yet—against all odds and most industry stereotypes—this is serious coffee. The kind of coffee that tells you, immediately and without apology, that someone here actually knows what extraction means and cares deeply about it. The espresso is dialed. Not “pretty good for a drive-thru” dialed—properly dialed. Balanced, clean, with a crema that doesn’t collapse into bitterness or sour regret halfway through the shot. You can taste intention. You can taste calibration. You can taste the quiet refusal to serve mediocrity just because you’re sitting in a car. Milk drinks? Impeccable. Textured correctly, not scorched, not foamy in that lazy, dessert-bar way. The baristas clearly understand that milk is an ingredient, not a disguise. Even the flavored options—often the death knell of good coffee—are handled with restraint, allowing the espresso to remain the lead instrument, not background noise. What really seals it is the attitude: confident but not preachy. No lectures. No eye-rolling. No third-wave cosplay. Just people who respect the bean and respect your morning. In Waimanalo, with the ocean light hitting just right, it feels almost absurd that coffee this precise is coming through a drive-thru window. And yet, here we are. Holoholo doesn’t need latte art competitions or minimalist concrete interiors to prove anything. It proves it the old-fashioned way: cup after cup, shot after shot. This is coffee for people who know—and for people about to learn. ☕"
"Stopped by here for coffee while driving around the island when we visited in January. I got one of their Premium Iced Teas in the flavor Lilikoi (passion fruit) with no added sugar. It was delicious! Best iced tea I’ve had in a while. The prices were really good too. Overall, very happy we stopped here! It was very convenient getting to just pull up and order instead of getting out of our car. And the baristas were so friendly!"
"First time here but we got the sugar free Red Bull infusion (ocean mist drink flavor) and the iced macadamia nut oat milk latte. The ocean mist was tasty and it has a coconut flavoring in it so it was very refreshing. My iced coffee drink was a good medium creamy sweet drink. Not too sweet though, which is how I prefer my coffee. The gentleman at the drive through taking our order was very helpful, helped us decide what to get and knows the drinks."
"Best espresso based drinks on this side of the island. My flat white made perfectly. It’s literally a green trailer that you pull up to! I would give it 6 stars if they had cookies! :)"
"I heard about this coffee shop on Tepoe's TikTok page and since I was visiting Oahu I had to go there! This was a drive up shop and the service was fast,..."
