Po’ai by Pono Potions

This is the best coffee shop! They started as a syrup company making all local flavors and have expanded to a storefront where they are serving delicious lattes, matchas and mocktails. Each drink is delicious, but my personal favorite is the Pauahi, which features their macadamia nut syrup, as it’s just lightly sweet. For food they serve a selection of breakfast sandwiches and their baked goods are from ‘Ulu and Kalo bakery (all vegan and gluten free made in house) and my personal favorite is the banana bread- so moist! What’s also great about Po’ai is that they host community events from lei making workshops to drag brunches, they have become a staple in the Chinatown community! You can either swing by for something to go (but note they have been BUSY lately) or take a seat in their expanded space where they have a large table to work at or have a meeting.

Best latte I’ve had on Oahu so far, PLUS they have all vegan and gluten free pastries which was a cherry on top!!!
