Maruwu Seicha

Maruwu Seicha opened a second location on Oahu in Mo'ili'ili. Their first location is in Waikiki. Their drinks have a very strong tea taste. I prefer the hojicha over matcha because I like the toasted taste and I don't enjoy the bitter aftertaste from matcha. For some of their drinks, it comes with whole milk and you can't substitute it for a non-dairy option. They also have matcha sodas, soft serve, and cheese tarts. I recommend the Hokkaido cheese tart. It was creamy with a buttery crust and went well with my black sesame hojicha. The drink prices range from $8 - $10.

The Mo'ili'ili location has indoor and outdoor seating but it gets busy. A lot of people are there studying so they stay long. If you can get a table inside, stay and hang out for a bit because the AC is nice and cold. For parking, the Mo'ili'ili location offers free parking in the Hale Mahana structure. For Waikiki, it's metered street parking or parking in a structure that does not offer validation.

PacifiKool

Pacifikool is at the KCC Farmers’ Market every Saturday making refreshing drinks with their ginger syrup. Most of their drinks have fruit in it but there's 1 drink that has coffee. The drinks are priced between $7 to $8. My favorite is the ginger colada because the combination of pineapple, coconut, and ginger taste really good. I recommend going to the KCC Farmers’ Market before 9AM because it's less crowded, the wait time for your drink is shorter, and you'll be able to enjoy some food from other vendors.

Their stall is located at the end by the vendor that sells succulents and orchids. It's also where you'll see groups of people sitting on the curb or the grass enjoying their food. They accept cash and card for payment.
