Just enjoyed a honeydew bubble tea with mango boba!!! Delicious way to wash down food from the other trucks!!! The gentleman at the stand was so kind and gracious, chatting with me about island life as well as traveling elsewhere, all while making my drink right to my liking! P. s. You guys need an Instagram page! Mahalo!

This place was a random find because I wanted caffeine and I was glad that I stopped! I really loved the guy’s attitude and his love for what he does. He gave me a wonderful recommendation… the caramel coconut. So delicious! Just enough caffeine and not too sweet! It’s a great drink for a warm day! Highly recommend stopping by for a coffee :) will stop by the next time I’m on the north shore!

This is a little coffee window in a trailer amidst a group of interesting food trucks. Really charming area, really neat little shop! The specialty here is coffee, and the person running the business is passionate and informed about his products. When asked for recommendations, he had good ones, and actually inspired me to try something new.
Great variety of flavors and ingredients, including dairy, soy and almond milk; and best of all, the shop’s commitment to quality shows in their use of Ghirardelli chocolate instead of the Hershey’s or generic chocolate found in so many other places! Don’t drink coffee? Enjoy a scrumptious hot chocolate.
Overall a great place to get a custom built drink from a knowledgeable shopkeeper where quality, passion and great flavor are all in the mix.

Been on the island almost a year. Moved from seattle. BY FAR THE best coffee I have ever had. Cold brew is amazing. Live in ewa beach but will make the drive when I need my coffee fix. Mahalo

Best coffee ever!!! Babe has been searching for the best iced mocha breve on the island and we found it! I also recently lost my taste for iced coffee (once a Starbucks addict before I got pregnant again and it started making me nauseous and so I quit cuz I no longer could drink more than a quarter of my drink) but now after trying Aloha Espresso, I’m addicted to this guy’s coffee!

Next to the famour Giovanni’s shrimp truck, you can swing by to get a beverage while you wait for 30 – 45 minutes at Aloha Espresso. The wait should not be so long but the person puts in the order and he is the same person making it. He should consider hiring one more person who is dedicated to making drinks. I normally am not a big fan of coconut, but I decided to go for it since I was on the islands getting a Coconut Mocha coffee. it was extremely yummy!

Best. Coffee. Ever. I have now meet the owner and his wife. I remembered her because we both work for the airlines. It’s funny how many time and places I go and travel and this little gem has created a memorable experience. Luv small business.

Just had a great experience here. The latte was VERY tasty and well-​crafted, and the chat with the owner/​barista/​gentleman rounded off the experience nicely.
I highly recommend a pitstop from here any time you need your caffeine fix! :)

This cart/​truck is in the right spot for an afternoon coffee. All their flavored coffee specials are so tasty if you like sugary coffee. Their regular coffee was even good… Not the best kona coffee amazingness but there aren’t a lot of options on the north shore for coffee. So come here!

Went here in August 2014, The lady who was manning this cute little stand was very nice and friendly. I remember ordering one of the cold lattes/​drinks. The lady was explaining to me that they cold brew the coffee they used for their cold drinks. Up to this day, every time I buy iced coffee anywhere, I tend to compare it to Aloha Espresso’s iced coffee and none of the ones I had elsewhere compared to Aloha espresso’s. It was that good. A must try in the north shore.

I ordered the caramel macchiato iced and it literally made my day go from good to amazing. It’s so good it uplifts your spirits! My goal is to have at least one drink from aloha espresso everyday of my trip. Glad I found this gem on North Shore!

I wish I had found Aloha Espresso my first day on the North Shore rather than my last. I ordered a Carmel macchiato, and it was the best of its kind I have ever had! Delicious espresso and a very chocolate/​Carmel taste made this one decadent drink. Stop by next time you are getting Giovanni’s (it’s right next door) and you won’t be disappointed!

Stopped here on my way through. I ordered a hazelnut iced latte. The woman running the stand was very nice and even helped point me on my way to Fumi’s Shrimp (GO!). My latte was made from a cold brew and it was super tasty.

Good, smooth coffee drinks. This is one of few places you can get coffee in this area of the Island– due to the Mormon influence. Aloha spirit from the friendly owner. I would have given it five stars, but it was pretty expensive. Supply and demand I guess.

First time in Oahu, stopped by on a whim and and the best coffee I have had in a while. Certainly a highlight of my trip, tried the caramel macchiato and vanilla macadamia mocha. Coffee served with love and care, very smooth finish on the palatte rich and robust.
