Your Guide to Sweet Spots Across O’ahu on Valentine's Day

Still figuring out your Valentine’s Day game plan? Whether you’re sightseeing across the island, bound for the beach, or planning a romantic date at home, there are plenty of spots across O’ahu to impress that special someone with your perfect taste in treats and coffee.

HI Pie Co. Many of the best North Shore days start in Haleiwa. Special drinks to try this month are the Chocolate Coffee Strawberry Latte and Raspberry Matcha with Coconut Cold Foam—and you’ve got to try their Pineapple Cream Pie! 

Raised by the Waves If you’re taking a scenic route along the windward side, stop by the Kahuku Sugar Mill for this charming Vegan Eco Café. Grab one of their shakes, bowls, or waffles, and don't miss the Vanilla Latte with Pink Coco Cold Foam.

Aloha Cafe Pineapple For those finishing an early hike at Diamond Head or Koko Head, treat yourselves at Aloha Cafe Pineapple. In addition to their tasty lattes and acai bowls, their popular malasadas get a special twist this week: Tiramisu Cream Filling.

Drip Studio HNL If you’re spending the day in Honolulu, coffee and matcha fans should put a pin on Drip Studio in Chinatown to try their Electric Love specials.

Perfect Day Fellow Kailua residents know there are plenty of ice cream options, but a Cold Brew Frappe from Perfect Day Ice Cream is the kind of treat you just might find us waiting for behind you in line.

Five Freedoms A special option for our military community: the Five Freedoms truck on base at PHH is the perfect place for a Jenny, a Forrest, or a Box of Chocolates ;)

Chef Amin at Tradition Coffee Last but certainly not least, add the quarry to your plans this Saturday! Chef Amin will be serving up his signature weekend desserts right outside our café. And since Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday this year, we’re open that extra afternoon hour to help wind down the day.

Lovebirds and coffee lovers alike, Happy Valentine’s Day!
