Hawai‘i summers aren’t marked by dates—they’re felt in everyday moments. With the launch of our new Kauwela Menu, we’re capturing the joy, warmth, and flavors that make summers in the islands so special. In ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i, kauwela means summer, a time when the sun lingers a little longer, surf sessions turn into sunset talk story, and time seems to slow down in all the best ways.
For locals, summer brings a familiar sense of celebration—whether it’s backyard pāʻina with ʻohana, road trips to the North Shore, or cooling off with something sweet and refreshing. Our Kauwela Menu brings that same energy into our cafés, with seasonal drinks and bites that spotlight local ingredients and favorite flavors. Every item is a little aloha-filled moment from our summer to yours.
