Crema's Take

Nestled in the historic Moana Surfrider with wraparound plantation-style porches overlooking Waikiki Beach and towering banyan trees, this venue transforms casual coffee into a full afternoon tea ceremony complete with attentive service and genuinely memorable moments. While they excel at traditional and specialty drinks, what truly sets them apart is the unhurried, celebratory atmosphere—whether you're lingering over high tea service or a leisurely breakfast buffet, the staff's genuine warmth and attention make even first-time visitors feel like they're part of something special rather than just passing through.

Absolutely wonderful high tea experience. The atmosphere had great southern plantation wrap around porch vibes, with beach and Banyon tree views to boot. We did the Royal High Tea, and every course was delicious and well executed. Definitely recommend it for the tea mimosa flight. Big shout out to Alex, our server, who added a special touch to the occasion with his delightful demeanor, kind service, and attention to detail. Thanks for the wonderful experience!

The meal was served buffet style and was geared towards Japanese people. It's a bit tough to eat if you expect it to taste the same as in Japan, but it's not a problem when you want to eat Japanese food. The view and the warm hospitality of the staff were better than anywhere else! Thank you very much. I would definitely like to stay again next time.

Located inside the Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, The Veranda offers a lovely breakfast buffet experience. We dined at the buffet ($40 per person), which featured a well-balanced mix of local Hawaiian dishes and classic American fare. Our waiter, Daniel S., was impeccable, providing attentive and genuinely warm service that made the morning feel relaxed and special. A wonderful way to start the day in Waikīkī.

Shout-out to our server Daniel who made our first Afternoon Tea so memorable. He was attentive, thoughtful and served us with such joy that it made our time celebrating our Anniversary That much more pleasant. The venue is stunning and the attention to detail for the ambience is impressive. The food was filling and delicious. I ordered the Classic Tea while my husband got the Duke's Tea and he added the beer flight. We got the Classic Coconut Tea and the Peach Tea. Both were automatic and flavorful. I highly recommend coming and suggest getting reservations for your party. You will not be disappointed.

The wife and I had afternoon tea here. At first I thought it would be a gimmicky typical tourist trap. I will admit that I was totally wrong. The service was perfect and the views were even more so. The food was a solid 4 out of 5. I got the Duke set and my wife got the royal tea set. No complaints on that front. The Tea was genuinely a highlight, as it should be. Unique, smooth flavors that we couldn’t stop drinking. I highly recommend this experience for a couples date! 4.5 overall!
