Kynd Tea

First time here and it was SO good. Tried two different matchas and both were 10/10. I got the hapa one and the classic. Service was friendly and attentive! They also sold the matcha so I bought a few to bring to my friends! Highly recommend

Can’t believe I haven’t reviewed my favorite place on island. Daily whisk for me is probably how alcoholics see going to the bar. I’m here multiple times a week and the staff is so lovely, most of them remember me by name. Their hojicha is consistent and amazing, bf always gets the strawberry matcha. Both are high quality and made with care I will keep petitioning to bring back the chocolate strawberry hoji, but until then I’m still gonna be back often 🤙🏻

My favorite town iced matcha! Fast friendly service, wonderful menu, so much this little shop does for our community! We will be back soon!

Visiting Honolulu for the first time and stopped by Daily Whisk Matcha around 10 AM on Saturday after seeing multiple recommendations online. I came specifically to buy matcha powder to take home and wanted to taste it first, which is pretty standard at true matcha shops. Unfortunately, this was not that kind of place. There was a long line, very limited parking, and the shop itself is a very small stall. That alone wouldn’t be a dealbreaker — but the real issue was that this is not a true matcha shop. When I asked to try plain matcha (no milk, no sweetener) before buying, the staff seemed genuinely confused. I had to repeat myself several times. They explained that they only really serve matcha lattes or sweetened drinks (matcha lemonade, syrups, monk fruit, etc.). Eventually, they offered to make something by mixing matcha with hot water and lemon-honey syrup — not traditional matcha preparation at all. The drink came out extremely hot (almost black-tea hot), served with a plastic lid, and was heavily watered down. The matcha flavor was barely noticeable, overwhelmed by the added syrup, and did not resemble real ceremonial or straight matcha in any way. I ended up throwing most of it out. They also only carry one type of matcha, and everything they serve appears to be designed for milk or sweetened drinks — not for people who actually drink matcha straight or want to evaluate quality before buying. Because of this experience, I didn’t purchase any matcha to take home. Bottom line: If you want sweet matcha lattes, this place may be fine. If you’re looking for a serious matcha shop, want to taste plain matcha, or want to buy quality powder with confidence — this is not it.

Their Iced Hapa Matcha Latte was delicious! I ordered mine with soy milk, and could clearly taste the strong notes of both the matcha and hojicha. The only downsides of Daily Whisk is that parking is limited and there aren’t many seats/tables to sit at and enjoy your drink.
