A Waikiki food-hall dessert stall for matcha-focused soft serve, parfaits, and tea; excellent for Japanese-style sweets with fair prices, minor service and policy hiccups.
Nana's Green Tea delivers excellent matcha and hojicha soft serve with thoughtful Japanese toppings and friendly, efficient service that justify the B+ grade. Occasional texture variation and the functional counter-service format prevent a higher grade, though fair Waikiki pricing and reliable execution make it a solid choice for dessert lovers seeking quality tea-based treats.
Tucked into the Stix Asia food hall, this counter spot turns out Japanese-style sweets with a calm, polished efficiency. Expect matcha-forward soft serve, parfaits stacked with mochi and azuki, and friendly staff who work fast when lines build. One diner noted the cone was “crisp and fresh,” while another praised the roasty hojicha for its gentler flavor. The cooking leans classic Japanese dessert craft: layered parfaits, tea lattes, and floats rather than flashy tricks. It is elevated traditional—quality matcha, hojicha, and thoughtful textures—though a few guests wanted a stronger matcha punch or creamier swirl. Prices feel fair for Waikiki, with most visits landing around fifteen dollars for a treat and drink. Families do well here: kids gravitate to vanilla swirls and fruity options while adults explore matcha or hojicha. Seating is communal and limited, so think quick treat rather than a linger. Portions suit sharing, and toppings like shiratama or warabimochi add fun without scaring picky eaters.
