Delicious food! I love all the Hawaiian-infused options, I'd love to return to try everything. They also get bonus points for being the only vegan restaurant open on Sunday at 3 pm!

Located right in the heart of Hale Pawa'a lobby I've been curious of Juicy Brew as I've been having many doctors visit here usually after work 4ish they're always closed (3pm) so I never really knew what they have to offer going by the name I assumed it was a smoothie place...nope!This plant based cafe offers many items we're familiar with in a plant based style and yes they do have all your favorite brews from coffee, espresso, hot tea and even hot chocolate as it being plant based milk options are Oat, Pistachio and Macadamia.After a long 90 minute delay with my appointment I was annoyed enough to have some kind of craving and was just happy to see what they had to offer. Many of their food is a grab and go convenience from cookies, bagels and some pasta salads though one did catch my attention..."Watermelon Poke".Coincidentally it was National Watermelon Day and as I asked about it it has all the usual ingredients you'd make in a poke sauce though it marinated some chunks of watermelon...hmmm! Very interested I did get it as it already sounded refreshing and it was, BunBun and I enjoyed it and it was a nice twist from the usual beet or tofu version I thoroughly enjoyed it.The staff here is just a delight to answer any questions, and though it may not be a low carb or something you'd have a on a diet this is a plant based cafe that offers some things that are unique and their own...amazing!Thank you!

I highly recommend this cute little spot! 100% plant base! I like the vibe and look of this corner location. the best part was the food! It was so "ono" delicious and it all healthy. I tried a bunch of stuff. First I had the mushroom melt, so much flavor and loved the textures from crunchy outside and soft melting inside with a well balanced sauce to mix it all together! Then my wife and I shared the taco burrito. It had a mixture of meatless meat, rice, beans and wrap in a spinach wrap. It was so good!! For drinks I had a matcha green tea latte, with macadamia milk and a coconut creamer. The barista working told me she makes a good matcha, and let me tell you sister wasn't lying! Haha one of the best matcha's I have ever had! So I hope you can give this place a try. Awesome delicious food, really good tasting drinks and awesome service with aloha! Thank you juicy brew! You'll made my rough week so much better, I even went back and bought two more mushrooms melts and two more taco burritos to take home for dinner! Mahalo!

I've always heard of Juicy Brew, but never tried it until recently. My brother is not a vegan, but he swears by this place because of their unique menu. I ordered the Korean fried "chick'n" hirata buns and an iced lavender matcha latte with macadamia nut milk. Everything was made fresh to order and so delicious!I couldn't finish the entire meal so I ended up sharing the other bun with my dad. He was pleasantly surprised that it was completely vegan. I can't wait to visit home again to try more items on Juicy Brew's menu.

Some of the previous reviews and photos are actually of another location in Kaimuki. This location is more of a coffeeshop with a few pre-made food items. Today, there were yuzu mango mochi, mushroom melt sandwiches, and everything bagels with butter or cream cheese. The mushroom melt didn't appeal to me, and the bagels looked like cheap ones from a grocery store, so I didn't buy anything. However, my partner ordered a coffee. I appreciate they allowed him to use his own mug.

I want to love juicy brew. I've been eating here on and for years. But somehow it's never that good? This location has the vegan cream cheese that is on point. The bagels are flat and lame. The iced coffee is just an iced Americano. But the cream cheese is worth coming back for.

Absolutely love this small vegan Cafe in the lobby of Hale Pawaa! Every time I go to an appointment here, I always get something. I've had the everything bagel twice. Once with almond butter and vegan cream cheese (tofutti?). Both were delicious. The Mushroom melt sandwich is so good! I've had that twice as well. With free parking for the first hour, I may stop by every time I'm in the area. Yes, it is that good.

I was pescatarian (the only meat I ate was fish) for ten years. During this time period, I was vegan for one year.In June 2013, I made the conscious decision to eat meat again, but to try my best to be mindful of eating meat. For example, I eat meat when visiting a family or friends and eating in their home. I also eat meat when dining out, but try to know where the meat is coming from. I do, occasionally, eat meat at home, but typically it is fish from LocalIa or another local meat source. I also love Forage Hawaii's Bone Broth Chili!All of this aside (it does not matter in the context), JUICY BREW IS AMAZING!! It doesnt matter what kind of diet you prefer or must prescribe to; everyone LOVES it!!!I'm not sure I even want to post this review because they're so so good. They have a location in Kaimuki. You can order online and pick up (curbside, if you wish!). You can also walk in and they have a small café style dining area. There is also a location at Hale Pawaa medical building. I have been to both locations. Hale Pawaa when I have had appointments in the building. Kaimuki location is lovely and I have dined there several times and always leave so happy (and inspired to recreate these amazing dishes at home- an impossible task!!). In the pandemic life, I have taken advantage of the order online/pick up curbside option at Kaimuki. Recently I enjoyed a housemade tea, the housemade bao buns with "chickn", housemade mochi, banana bread, and a cheesecake. ALL DELICIOUS!! Hale Pawaa location has more "grab and go" items, but, recently, I enjoyed a delicious mushroom sandwich on Focaccia (bread by The Bread Shop Honolulu!!) and Split Pea Soup. I also had to grab a few of the blueberry mochi as well! You can tell there is so much LOVE in this food! It is delicious and much time, energy, and pure love has gone into the creation of these recipes and their preparation! I love you Juicy Brew! PS- Even their rice is amazing!! I dont give my dog any people food. Hes 17 and on a very healthy dog food (and an array of healthy treats), but, sometimes, Ill give hun a little JB rice and he LOVES it. He will keep asking for more, in his own adorable way!

Inside Hale Pāwaa, delicious vegan food. We had the breakfast sanwich, it has hot and crispy. Definitely recommend getting a bite here.

Lady taking our order today had a bad attitude. It was 8:08 am. This morning in Hawaii. My mom said she wanted whole milk. And with an attitude she said these are the choices rude again. Just her whole attitude sucked from the time we walked up. My papa has pancreatic cancer and needs 24hr. Care. And all we wanted was a moment together my mom and I. While we waited for him to get a cat scan. There is no excuse for this behavior. If you don't like your job find another. And god forbid this is this her business I would never come back here again. Very unhappy with this business.

I got the mushroom melt sandwich and an iced matcha latte with oat milk and vanilla pudding pound cake syrup. I am not the type to get a sandwich that only had vegetables but the mushroom melt was AMAZING!! There food is a bit pricey but so far so good. The matcha latte was also really good and I'm typically not a matcha fan.

This location is in a hotel and can be a little tricky to get to depending on the direction you come in from. Regardless, ordered a vanilla late with Mac nut milk and the mushroom melt on foccacia and was happy as a clam. Get my lover the brekky burrito and it was good but not as good as my sando. Tried to order the protein brekky sandwich but there is apparently a just egg shortage so that did not work out for me. The barista did inform the other location is where the kitchen is and they do special things there especially in the weekends.
