First time I came here I was super impressed of how delicious and refreshing the smoothies was., so now if I'm in the neighborhood I'm sure to come by and get me a drink..
I highly recommend it and you won't be disappointed.
Me and the wife says it's the best smoothies we have tasted and says it's the best boba drink she ever have.
You can customize your drink as well. So that's a plus for me..
Service is super friendly and very helpful..
The place is nice and quiet and clean..
Come and check it out! Price is super cheap and quality is super good..Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 2867184Jan 14, 2024Updated review
We came back on a Sunday at 9:15 am to find the store is closed. DO NOT come here at 9:00 am on the weekends. Their hours need to be updated as no one is there, even though the hanging sign and Yelp says Open.
However, one day my husband came at a later time and on a weekday and he was able to try their Vietnamese coffee, which he liked a lot. But he there was just one worker and there were a family of 8 in front of him so his wait was about 20 minutes.
Unsure if I'll return to get disappointed again.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Dec 19, 2023Previous reviewWanted to try their drinks but sadly when we went on a Saturday at 9:15am, the doors were locked and the shop was closed. Hours, as of 12/16/23 stated they open at 9AM.
Parking for the shop isn't the greatest since they share a small lot with other shop tenants in the area and there is no street parking as Moanalua is a major road.
We might consider trying this place again. - Jan 4, 2024
After hearing Thang's closing at this location, I was excited that another cafe took over and had the same concept as Thang's. Located across the gas station, you can easily find parking in the back by Aiea Manapua or the lot further back.
Menu consists the same drinks such as fresh fruit smoothies, Vietnamese coffee, and more. They have tapioca pearls as well. We decided to get a pineapple and watermelon smoothie as those are our favorite. The prices range from $6-$8 depending on what flavor or combos you get.
I was a bit disappointed by the smoothies because they added in coconut milk or some type of milk versus Thang's didn't add milk. It was really milky. No complaints but just a food for thought. It wasn't bad but just wasn't what I thought it was going to be like since the menu and concept was the same. Overall it's just okay. Def would try their iced Vietnamese coffee though because that looked amazing!Helpful 4Thanks 2Love this 4Oh no 0Business owner information

We appreciate the feedback. We follow the same recipe from the previous owner and we try to not change too much, but if you wanted less milk or none at all, we are more than happy to accommodate any changes to your liking the next time you visit.

Fresh is best!!
Vina Cafe in Aiea basically does just one thing fresh fruits and we're so blessed to have this year round here in Hawai'i and they certainly do take full advantage of that. You're able to see their storefront from Moanalua Road and free parking is right in the back and there's a stairway that will take you up to the shop...I parked near Aiea Manapua if that helps for location.
As I scan the massive menu board what I do love is being upfront with items that are flavored using powder such as Coconut, Honeydew and after a long work day I was just craving something to give me a boost and though this would be perfect.
#1 it is for me Peach and the sweet lady who probably runs the place asked me if I can tell her how much it was lol and of course I tell her honestly it was $6.50 on the board though the sign on near the register says $6 is probably old and seeing her bring out a fresh peach I was already happy with the new price.
It did take her very long and I was excited as it all held together so perfectly, BunBun taking a massive sip herself was the ultimate approval...the peach flavor wasn't all there and that's really due to the fruit so you know that it was fresh and it wasn't sweet at all just the natural sweetness from the fruit and omg I just loved it.
Inside is quite large as there was a bunch of seating including a cute and simple Instagram wall with "Vina Cafe" a cute place with a chill vibe serving up freshness is what makes Vina Cafe great.
Thank you!Helpful 14Thanks 0Love this 10Oh no 0 - Matthew N.Honolulu, HI06327May 7, 2024
Drinks are good, come here all the time and get the mango smoothie half sweet and no milk for that natural good mango flavor. Highly recommend. Hours aren't consistent but I'd give them a call just incaseeeee

Vina's is now at the Thangs location in Aiea! They seem to be friends of the Thangs owners so it seems to have the same quality and deliciousness as Thangs, hooray!
The lady (I think the owner) seems very nice, check this place out!!
Everything seems the same inside, including their use of fresh fruit! YummmmmmHelpful 0Thanks 2Love this 1Oh no 0 - Sheldon Y.Honolulu, HI341Apr 12, 2024
Poor customer service. I got two drinks from this place. They put each drink in this plastic carrier. When I brought out of car one of the carriers broke and the drink spilled all over the ground. Must have been defective. When I went back I explained the situation so I could get another drink. The cashier absolutely refused to give me another one. Told me was my fault that drink spilled although it was their carrier that broke.
