Explore Holoholo Drive Thru Espresso

Introducing Holoholo Drive Thru Espresso, a beloved local coffee stop tucked along the laid-back streets of Kailua at 40 Maluniu Ave, where the experience feels as memorable as the drinks themselves. This compact drive-thru has a cheerful, island-style charm that instantly sets the tone, with a steady flow of cars that moves efficiently even when the line looks long. Orders are taken with care rather than rush, giving you a moment to explore a menu packed with creative possibilities and customizable combinations that cater to both classic coffee lovers and adventurous drink seekers. The cold brew offerings stand out in particular, especially the house specials often referred to as the King and Queen, which are known for their distinctive flavors and smooth, memorable profiles that linger long after the last sip. Espresso-based drinks like cappuccinos are crafted with balance and richness, showcasing quality beans and thoughtful preparation. What truly elevates the stop is the welcoming energy at the window, where friendly staff interactions make the short wait feel part of the enjoyment rather than an inconvenience. Visitors often find themselves surprised by how quickly the line moves and how consistently excellent the coffee is, especially when compared to other cafés across the islands. The location adds to the appeal, sitting next to familiar neighborhood spots and reinforcing the sense that this is a community favorite rather than a tourist novelty. From spontaneous stops to daily routines, Holoholo Drive Thru Espresso captures the easygoing spirit of Kailua through great coffee, warm service, and a drive-thru setup that feels both efficient and personal.

Love this drive-thru ! You will get a few minutes before someone comes and takes your order. So many options available and you can make so many combinations of drinks. The cold brew specials (King &Queen) are so unique, I can’t stop thinking about them

Last second decision to try this coffee shop and there was a semi long line but we are so happy we waited. It went quick and the coffee was the best we had all vacation across 3 different islands. Such a cute drive thru!

The coffee smells SO good! Had to stop when we passed. They have so many different flavors and options. We ordered the seasonal special ice espresso island breeze and hot cappuccino. Love both of them.

I stumbled upon Holoholo in Kailua not knowing quite what to expect—but I was genuinely impressed. The service was warm and welcoming, and the quality of the drinks exceeded my expectations. I ordered the macadamia nut latte with macadamia nut cold foam, and it was absolutely delicious. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced—highly recommend! The shop itself is a hidden gem, tucked away with a charming little outdoor seating area under a beautiful plumeria tree. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to linger a little longer. I’ll definitely be back!

Cute little take-out coffee shop. I ordered a 16oz iced mocha with sugar free hazelnut syrup and it was very good! Prices are similar to other cafes and I didn’t mind because the mocha was delicious. Not a lot of seating; 2 picnic benches. It was busy but not overwhelming crowded. I’d definitely come back.

You can drive-through or walk up here if you walk up while there are cars in line at the drive-through they do get priority to order ahead of you. They have italian sodas, juices, coffee, and teas. They have a few unique syrups & foams.
