Why go
Nana's Green Tea is a low-friction Oahu pick for a casual Japanese café-style stop, not a special-occasion dinner or wine-led meal. Use it when flexibility matters: solo visits, simple meet-ups, or a light break between bigger island plans make more sense than building a whole evening around it.
About Nana's Green Tea
Nana's Green Tea is a casual venue in Oahu with daily hours from 11 AM to 9:45 PM. It is best framed around the basics: its location in Oahu, its casual dress code, the same posted schedule every day of the week. Those details make it a straightforward shortlist option for a low-key stop.
The right expectation matters here. Check current venue information directly before making plans around a specific visit, especially if your timing, group needs, menu preferences, reservation plans, or expectations depend on anything beyond the basics.
Use it for a casual Oahu stop
The dress code is casual, which makes Nana's Green Tea easier to fit into an Oahu day without planning around formal attire. In practical terms, the venue can be considered without making clothing the focus of the outing. The posted hours are consistent across the week: Monday through Sunday, 11 AM to 9:45 PM. That consistency is useful because the schedule does not change from weekday to weekend.
Before you go, check directly with the venue for dishes, beverages, seating, takeout, delivery, or reservation requirements. If you need to know whether the experience is better suited to a quick stop, a longer sit-down visit, or a planned gathering, ask the venue in advance. The safest approach is to treat the schedule and dress code as your planning anchors and check the rest directly.
How to fit it into an Oahu day
For planning, treat Nana's Green Tea as one Oahu option with daily hours and a casual dress code. That makes it simple to compare against other dining in Oahu based on the kind of outing you want. If you are deciding between several possibilities, start with the schedule and dress expectations, then check current details directly if timing, menu, or service specifics are important.
The practical verdict: Nana's Green Tea can be considered when you want a casual Oahu venue with daily 11 AM–9:45 PM hours. It is most appropriately framed as a straightforward option, not as a fully detailed dining recommendation covering menu, pricing, or service style. Skip building firm plans around details you have not checked with the venue. That keeps the planning realistic, the expectations clear, the visit tied to current venue information.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Nana's Green Tea presents a low-key, charming take on Japanese tea culture transplanted to Waikiki. The café leans into matcha and hojicha as structural flavors, offering a playful yet disciplined menu of lattes, parfaits and light savory items that feels at once familiar to island regulars and distinctly Japanese in approach. The atmosphere reads relaxed and unpretentious rather than formal: it’s the kind of neighborhood matcha spot where the tea is the point and everything else supports it. Because the concept evolved internationally in the 2010s, there’s a contemporary, trend-aware streak to the execution without any pretense.
Best For
This is a strong pick for brunch-seekers and solo visitors looking for a treat or a light meal. The menu’s focus on drinks, parfaits and small savory plates suits late-morning cravings and casual midday stops; it also fits an all-day rhythm for anyone wanting a matcha latte or soft-serve snack between other Waikiki plans. Families and friends can swing by for something sweet after sightseeing, but the format particularly rewards solo exploration or a relaxed two-person outing where the tea selections are the main event.
Ordering Tips
You don’t need to over-plan: Nana’s Green Tea operates in a café category that generally does not require advance reservations, so drop-in visits work well. Lean into the house specialties—Matcha Ice Cream with Shiratama and Azuki, Matcha Soft Serve, Hojicha Latte and the Matcha Azuki Shiratama Drink—and treat them as the highlights of the menu. Because matcha functions as a primary ingredient rather than a garnish, expect concentrated green-tea flavors across drinks and desserts; order a parfait or soft-serve if you want a more substantial, shareable sweet.
