Rec 7 Cafe

Ok. My BIL kept telling me to go here and that it was better than Matsumotos. Ok cool, brother. We go Aokis generally anyways. But since he was getting annoying about it lol, and bc we were on our ice cream and shave ice expedtion, why not. Holy sh*t was I surprised and had to admit to him that it was in fact bomb. I cannot believe how good it was. Not only was the size good, and price good, but they make some of their own syrups and have a wide variety to choose from. I had melona, lychee, and lilikoi. Bomb. But If I go again (which I will soon for a bday party *fist pump*) I will get Coffee (tasted daughters.. bomb), matcha, and haupia with snow cap probably. All the flavors were good. I cant wait to go back They have other stuff too, baked goods, starbucks coffee and italian sodas... I cant wait. And the staff is so sweet.

Lived in Mililani for 3 years and never knew of this place until told about it from some people at the park. Wanted shave ice and they delivered. The ice was nice and fine which helps with the syrup. Unlike some other places where the ice is big and lumpy.Coming back for sure. Staff was nice and friend. Took awhile for my order has plenty of kids from the pool we ahead of me.

Little spot out of rec 7, good prices and selection. The workers were great. You also don't have to be a member to go to the cafe. Just let the front know you're there for the cafe and you can access it. You just can't use the other amenities/ facilities. Went for the shave ice. And was so good and had great options. Perfect to beat the summer heat

tldr;- Shave ice is better than Matsumoto's- Starbucks Coffee that's just as good as StarbucksRec7 Cafe is my not so secret secret spot for shave ice. It's very unassuming at first glance, but really is worth a visit.Their shaved ice is always on point and tastes especially good with ice cream. (Imo it's better than Matsumoto's) Also, I was impressed that they make Starbucks drinks that legit taste like Starbucks. Their drink menu also has a lot of other options if you don't drink coffee. They also sell Sage Creamery ice cream pints and have small snacks and instant ramen if you're craving some after going to the pool. If you don't want to drive and eat, there is a lot of covered open outdoor seating. Rec7 Cafe is such a gem in the neighborhood.

pre-covid review:You won't know about its location unless you walk into Mililani Recreation Center 7. I happened to had stopped by to check-out the rec. and was pleasantly surprised to find this cute little shop.How perfect on this hot day!, not sure if it is an actual Starbucks, but their drinks are served in Starbucks cups, I ordered a refresher that isn't on their menu, but they made it anyway! mister got some snacks and shaved ice.The workers are super cute and friendly! They greet you with a smile and seem eager to help you.

Great spot to grab some shaved ice Place is inside a rec center with friendly staff. Had lilikoi, strawberry & pineapple with ice cream & condensed milk. Yum!

My go to for shave ice on a hot day. Heck, I go even if it's not hot so who am I kidding. I love getting the lihing mui and lilikoi flavors. The ice is very fine and not chunky, just how I like it. You can add mochi balls, ice cream, etc. They also sell Starbucks coffee and other treats so check this place out if you're in Mililani.

When Mililani Town Association first announced that they were opening a cafe serving Starbucks in Mililani Rec 7 I thought they were crazy! Seriously, how many Starbucks does Mililani need? Well...apparently 4 as I'm now here at least 3 times a week. The cafe is more like a small coffee stand serving Starbucks beverages and locally made beverages. But if you're a MTA card holder, you can enjoy your coffee inside the free Internet cafe, by the pool, or by the playground while your Keiki play. Or if you come during the evening on the 2nd Friday of the month you can catch Open Mic and get deep discounts off beverages.Since Rec 7 Cafe is not a retail Starbucks cafe, you can not use any Starbucks rewards and will not receive stars. However the cafe prices are slightly cheaper than Starbucks and have their own rewards program.Jessica, the cafe manager, is super sweet, makes you feel special by greeting you by name-even if you're at the rec center for other reasons than coffee (crazy, right!), and makes strong but smooth coffee! She is also attentive and welcomes any suggestions for improving the cafe.

I find this to be the best Starbucks on island.The staff is super friendly and after only a few visits remembered my buddies and I on a first name basis.The coffee has always been on point and unlike other Starbucks there are local bakery vendors that deliver fresh pastries. The R7 cafe offers Starbucks drinks for a discounted prices, a reward system, and there's Internet cafe right across the hall that's study friendly.

No Mililani HOA card to use cafe.Shave ice is not very fine shaving in quality,. Limited flavor selection 8 unusual flavors as compared to other shave ice vendors (mountain shave ice in Waikele behind Safeway) cash only , or other places in Haleiwa (Matsumoto , always busy but line moves fast , large is very large for the $ plenty of flavors and Aoki''s also I heard is good.)Overall just: mediocre , 1.5 stars.Rec center 7 charges for a cup of ice water! If you ask for extra syrup you end up with a 1/2 cup of syrup and they won't give you any more shaved ice . Better to order regular sized or large and then they will add more syrup for free. If you hit under flavored iice. Cheap small wooden spoons.Prep time varies from 5-10 minutes . Outside seating. CC accepted, reward program , buy 8 get one free. Prepared ice cream available. Ice machine good value for $.Also hi price Starbucks cafe. Avg. quality, for all top coffees ( up to $6+)/3If I get a cravings I go for the drive. Waikele/Haleiwa.Matsumoto large 2 flavor..:
