Seattle’s Best Coffee

Still not the bestt of Seattle. Fool me once…

Great place without the crowd once you get in there, but the traffic coming from every direction to get into the parking lot is chaos. Everyone blocks the way to other dining establishments and shops because they’re getting in line with the competitor, Starbucks. Candy Cane Mocha rocks!

Great latte’s. My weakness when i want a non fat low calorie but don’t want to sacrifice taste.

I forgot that they were so expensive =/

Not as busy as Starbucks and the staff is nice. I feel their coffee tastes most bold, just as I like it!

Personally I love most coffee places that aren’t Starbucks. In the many years that they’ve been in the island chain I’ve been totally overdosed on Starbucks as both a hipster hangout and the usual fix to get me moving
without tripping over things in the morning.
If I’m picking a place to meet up down my side, I like Seattle’s Best because it’s pretty cozy, there’s usually more parking available there than at Starbucks (believe it or not), and every time I’ve gone in I was able to score A SEAT! HA! It’s the simple things…
As much Coffee as I love to consume on a daily basis, I usually can’t get the ordering right on the first try. So I like going in an saying surprise me!
So far the surprise drink that I dug the most has gotta be the Seattle’s Best’s Marble Mocha. It is a great pick me up (cold drink) for those hot sunny days where you need to get stuff done but don’t got the energy to do it! It almost reminds me of the Gloria Jean’s Mocha Granita’s, but something about this drink tastes miles better!
The only draw back to Seattle’s Best in Waipio would probably be the parking. I know earlier I said that there’s usually more parking here than at Starbucks across the lot, but really if you saw the place you’d understand that ain’t sayin’ much!

I honestly think their coffee tastes better than Starbucks. The service is mediocre though. I wish there were more Seattles Best around.

Got the mint chocolate javakula, wanted the cake batter cremekula but they were out. The mint choc drink was super delicious!!! Refreshing, sweet, minty with small crunchy bits of ice. Will be back: D

Seattle’s Best’s coffee is a lot richer than Starbucks, but that’s just my own opinion. I’m not a fan of this location though. The parking sucks… really bad. And the inside seating is really really limited. They usually have only 2 people working, so it takes forever for me to get my drink. We used to do Bible study here, but we have migrated to Waikele SB.

I always like reviewing places that I’m in at the time — Yay WiFi! Actually, that’s why I picked this place, for the WiFi, and because it’s not StarBucks. Ironically, the one complaint I have is ABOUT the WiFi — I couldn’t get on their server, but there’s somebody else’s unsecured WiFi with a strong signal so, you know, whatever…
Anyway, the place is real quiet on a Friday afternoon, and the lone barista was friendly and helpful. I’m currently enjoying the cold-​brewed Vanilla Latte, while my ass is currently enjoying one of the overstuffed chairs.

I was in the area earlier today to run an errand before work. It was 11am and I missed breakfast so I was starving. Decided to stop by Seattle’s best for some white chocolate mocha w/​soy (better than Starbucks). This was my first visit and was pleasantly surprised how clean and spacious this place was. There were tables in and outside of the store and the expresso colored leather chairs looked soooooo comfy. And free WI-​FI!
I’m a sucker for croissants so when I saw they offered croissant sandwiches, I had to purchase one. So I ended up getting the chicken salad — it was yummy! The croissant was fresh. The chicken salad was ordinary but overall a good experience. And the service was very good. 3.5 stars!

Well if I have to get corporate coffee I prefer this place. While considered part of the Starbucks empire, the coffee here has a much smoother (less burnt) flavor then it’s more wide spread cousin.
Good place for a pit stop when heading down the H-​2 and you need to «fuel» up before heading into town.
