Green Beans Coffee

They serve us in Afghanistan so I’m a coffee patron for them! I’ve always order their frappé but I’m trying their Chai latte… Always good

Green Beans Coffee reminds me of my high school days: Asking my parents if I could go and have «coffee» while they shopped in the NEX, which would inevitably take an hour or so. I had so wanted to feel like a big girl who drank frapps and lattes, like those college girls in TV shows and whatnot. It was conveniently located, since the nearest Sbux back then was too far of a walk and my family ALWAYS shopped at the NEX. So, in more ways than one, this place hits the sweet spot.
Things have changed, especially since I work for Starbucks, and my expectations of coffee and them blended things. I still enjoy Green Beans when I can.
I like the quality of their beverages. Their chai lattes and frappes are especially nice (they use the Caffe Vitta brand, available at the commissary). I’ve not had a poorly-​steamed latte yet. The consistency of their frappes (remember folks, Frappuccino is trademarked Starbucks) is definitely smoother than the Frappuccino, but I’m not really a fan of the white mocha and caramel flavors. They taste especially artificial. I’d stick to their lattes and espresso-​flavored frapp.
Their service is pretty good, although not good all the time. I’ve had very nice baristas take care of me all the way through, and, more recently, baristas who pay more attention to talking to each other than to the one customer at their POS. It just depends on who’s working.
All in all, There’s really not much that’d deter me from coming back — aside from the fact that my ID is expired. *crying face*

I always come here for a white mocha. Usually its a frappé, in an effort to cool me down on these hot hot Hawaiian days. The medium white mocha frappé is perfect because it comes with 3 shots of espresso, and is muy delicioso. Did you know caffeine is great for headaches? Yeah, check the ingredients of excedrin migraine/​extra strength.
The drink is cheaper than starbucks, @ $ 4.97, and all the staff is super friendly

First time coming here, got the chocolate smoothie. Not impressed at all. Bad gritty tast. And it costed me over 5 dollars for a 24 oz thats just to much to me, Will not return to this coffee place i will be sticking with starbucks.

First time trying their coffee. The cashier greeted me & I Ordered a latte, then went near the area where you get the straws, napkins etc. I just happened to look up at the cashier (blonde girl with glasses) and to my disbelief i caught her smelling her shirt sleeve, then giving that area of the sleeve 2 licks… OMG. gross! My heart kinda sank lol because I was excited to try this place. I was grossed out by what I just saw. I think she saw me looking at her because we kept exchanging looks… Ooooh busted! Lol I couldn’t help it… then I glanced over at the barista making my drink and the other worker making someone’s combo meal. Hmmmm. I was hoping that my barista wasn’t licking his hands prior to making my drink.:(
Nonetheless, my latte arrived and I must say that it was smooth, flavorful and just the right caffeine fix. A little too sweet but I give it 4 stars!
Still, I will never order coffee from this place again.

I came in with a sore throat and Fiki suggested the chamomile citrus tea. It did help soothe my throat. He also suggested the ginger tea. I tried that one and liked it as well. Fiki, although busy making sure this location stayed tidy, took the extra step and helped me feel a little better.

Great coffee, so are the pastries. It’s the muffins that got me hooked initially. I would definitely recommend to serious coffee drinkers

Great place to grab a quick coffee! I love their iced coffee! The line is never too long, so if you’re in a bit of a hurry, Green Beans is a good option! I have nothing negative to say, and I’m very particular about my coffee. Bottom line, they make coffee quick and they do it well (for it to be as quick as it is). Next time you are at the NEX, swing by Green Beans, you won’t leave disappointed.

I love their frapaccinos and their muffins. Green bean coffee kiosks are mainly located on military bases. This one is located in the nex food court. They are spreading to some airports though such as Newark, nj. But, you can also order their coffee online to enjoy it as well. They have an awesome program where you can purchase coffee for a soldier that is deployed. There is an app called loyal tree where you can rack up points on purchases that can be used to receive free beverages and snacks. Just for joining I was given a reward for any drink. I ended up with an extra large vanilla frap. It was tasty and boy did it take me two days to finish since it was so large. I also purchased a snicker doodle muffin. It looked like it was pumped up with some supernatural growth injection. I loved it. It was soft, buttery, and the snicker doodle was on point. I could not finish it either lol. I saved it for the next day. I love that they support the military and give civilians the opportunity to thank them in a way of just purchasing a cup of joe for them. I’ll be back!!!

Located in the Pearl Harbor Mall. Nice place to get a quick bite to eat and some coffee. Definitely recommend getting the breakfast burrito. They are huge! Very yummy :)

Hands-​down the best coffee money can buy! That’s not to mention the awesome Baristas who work there! ask the baristas for their recommendations because they understand coffee like no other. If you are hungry, try their awesome breakfast burritos!

I’ve come here quite a bit in the last couple of weeks to enjoy my peppermint mocha for the season. However, here they offer a wide variety from your typical peppermint mocha. You have your peppermint bark latte, white chocolate peppermint mocha, and dark chocolate peppermint mocha. I appreciate the variety as well as the variety of baked goods that are baked on site. You don’t see that too often at other coffee establishments. I’ve tried a couple of their muffins and found them to be just the right amount of moistness. Service is usually pretty good as they are great with answering my questions and being patient while I order. Sometimes, I’ve noticed there are individuals that linger in the pickup area to talk with the baristas. Eh… as long as the baristas are clean and my order is made, I’m fine with it. Overall, I like their drinks and muffins :)

I’ve been there 3 times. 2 of those times they weren’t open during store hours! The first time I got there, the girl was closing 30 minutes early because she had a DR appt and no one could cover her.
The second time I got there, it was 15 minutes to close and they were closed. Wth
Third time (and was going to be my final time) they were actually open and my experience with the barista was pleasant. She was friendly and chatty. It made me actually think about going back.
I lived off of Green Beans when I was deployed so they have a special place in my heart.
I’m definitely partial to the NEX location though.

I like this place. Yes it might be slow service sometimes and yes they might get some people’s orders wrong once in a while. But they have. Espresso in quadruple serving sizes and they have an app where you get a free drink (no limits on size or cost) just for signing up its called loyaltree and you them gain point for more free drinks or pastries. On that note, the pantries are made right there in the store.

It was time to break the two-​week latte fast!!! In my mad desperation to fill my latte craving I found this shop at the Pearl Habor NEX and immediately knew the time had come!
I don’t know much about Green Beans Coffee — this is the first time I’ve even heard of this outlet. But I immediately liked the fact that they go above the par on espresso offerings in their lattes. That is, a 12 oz latte has two shots of espress — and 16 oz latte has three — and you can do the math from here. Another plus, it’s not a bust on the pocket book! In fact, I find more hurt from the high sales tax in Hawaii than any hurt from the price of the latte!
As for taste, it is three star. That is, not my favorite white latte but no where near the worst either. It was good for a mad latte many like myself! And yes I would come back again! It’s a good deal and pretty satisfying overall!

This Coffee shop is located in the Navy Exchange on the second level and you dont need a government I. D to buy coffee here, although you would if you wanted to do any shopping inside.
The coffee here is good. Not great, just good. The service was really prompt. They have a set expresso menu with most of their beverages and from what i remember you could start off with one up to three shots. This was common in all of their drinks.
The coffee was nice and strong but it was missing the smoothness that im used to from the curb in Monoa.
There are not many coffee places located in the exchange, in fact aside from McDonalds, this may be the only other place to order coffee.

I love coffee! Green Beans frappé is not your typical light tasting coffee flavor blended drink you get from Starbucks. A medium drink has 2 shots of expresso and the large has 3 shots of expresso. Free expresso shots already in a frappé? That’s definitely my kind of coffee drink.
The price for a drink is around $ 5 which is typical of all coffee places. I just can’t keep raving about how much stronger their coffee drinks are compared to other places. I wish there was more locations but I’m happy at least there’s one location here. It’s better than not having it here at all.
They are located on the second floor next to the NEX entrance where the old Seattle’s Best use to be.
This place supports their troops! They give out free coffee to deployed service members.

I didn’t have their coffee since about 2 hours prior I had my Starbucks fix. I ordered a small raspberry Italian cream soda. What that consisted of was an Italian soda with whip cream on top. I said «cream» twice to the cashier and he acknowledged my order of an Italian cream soda. The proportions were off, lots of carbonated water, ice, and just a hint of raspberry. My cousin ordered a medium iced mocha and he too didn’t enjoy his beverage it was too sweet as he put it and he couldn’t really taste any coffee even though it came with (3) shots of espresso. A small comes with 2 shots and a medium comes with 3.
Service is kinda slow, & we were the only customers there. My cup had coffee grinds all on the bottom for some reason. I had to use 2 napkins to clean it up from my hands and cup. I trashed my drink before finishing about half.
They’re located on the second floor of the NEX where Seattle’s Best previously was. If you think Starbucks is a rip off, then I suggest you don’t bother with Green Beans. I’m not usually one to complain (openly at least)… but I highly doubt I’ll be a returning customer.
Tip: a small drink is equivalent to a medium size.

I stumbled out of the NEX on the opening day of this awesome coffee shop.
Me: «Oh my God… What is that smell?»
My friend: «I don’t know. I don’t smell it.» She looks at my daughter and asked, «Is it you?»
Me: «No it’s… COFFEE.» I couldn’t get out of that NEX line fast enough. I was about to start scanning my own items for them!
I come out look the the right, to the left. I didn’t see it. Followed my nose and bam. A line of coffee drinkers. After being sleep deprived from being single parent for the last few weeks I was about to start paying people to let me be first. I came to the front (which by the way is the opposite of Starbucks which is the line starts by the baked goods) Once I figured out that I needed to be on the Cash Register side I was up there any ready to order anything. Oh my gosh they have Dirty Chais! (It says «Espresso Chai tea» (Most places I’ve found lately if I ask for a dirty chai they look at me like I want to take them out back!)
Warning: This place is whole bean espresso city! When I mean you order a large you get 4 SHOTS of Espresso. Woo hoo… Just what I need to get through the Commissary! So Small= 2 shots, Medium= 3 shots, Large= 4 shots.
I’ve been back several times now. Holding people by their hand and dragging them to see Coffee Bean. Quite the bang for your buck! I recently had a friend here that liked white chocolate mocha, but asked for only 1 and a half shots of espresso. Mm… I’ll take those!
Remember Honor First. Coffee Second. and if your feeling really patriotic, buy a deployed soldier (or service member) a cup of Joe. Pretty sweet!

This spot is tucked away in the food court area of the NEX. One day after wearily wandering over to the NEX in need of lord only knows and I had the caffeine shakes… And seeing this place was like seeing an oasis in the desert. I ordered the biggest iced coffee that they had and it honestly is one of the smoothest tasting coffees I’ve ever had.
I went back a few days later minus the coffee shakes and had a small café mocha and it was equally as delicious.
The staff there is very friendly and attentive and the baked goods look phenomenal although I refuse to let one into my stomach.
