Ho-olana

Got the famed iced BBL (banana bread latte—unfortunately they do not provide the rear enhancing service that shares the same acronym here). While I will say it was a unique flavor (banana forward, slight bready taste), it was quite expensive for the small at almost $10 and it was gone in what felt like a few sips. If you’re staying in Waikiki and driving up here just to try it, not sure I’d recommend that. But if you’re coupling it with just chilling at the Ritz Carlton the cafe is inside of afterwards or visiting the nearby Kahuku sugar mill, I’d say it’s worth a try while you’re in the area.

Their viral BBL (banana bread latte) lives up to the hype. Service was fast & friendly. Located inside the lobby of the beautiful turtle bay resort.

Finally a hotel 🏨 coffee ☕️ shop for coffee lovers! Ho-olana isn’t only pretty to look at, the friendly team also serves the best coffee on Oahu’s North Share. And the biggest plus (super-smart thinking of the Turtle 🐢 Bay 🌊 Resort management), opening is 5:30 am — finally someone realized that most visitors to Hawaii 🌺 come from a different time zone and what better way to start your day or vacation than with a great coffee!!! #travelicious #europeinsidersusa

Beautiful spot to grab a drink to go (I recommend the BBL) and hit the road. The space was relatively quiet when we visited, but I can see why people grab a seat - the view is spectacular.

Some of the best coffee we’ve tried so far on the north shore. The cold brew was great. No bitterness at all and very flavorful. The mac nut latte was perfectly done. They also have a coconut pineapple muffin that was delightful.
