The Banana Bear šĀ
The Mood: That slow, "no-rush" island morning.
You know that smell when a fresh loaf of banana bread comes out of the oven? Thatās exactly whatās happening here. We take real-deal bananas and slow-simmer them with coconut sugar to make our Banana Bear sauceāitās dark, caramelized, and honestly, a little bit addictive.
Think of this as a liquid slice of banana bread. When swirled into velvety milk and rich espresso, it creates a toasted, caramelized sweetness thatās deep, natural, and nostalgic. Itās an artisan moodārich, soulful, and the perfect start to a slow island morning.
Banana Bear Cold Brew š»
This isn't your average flavored coffeeāitās a craft experience. We start with our cold brew, kept smooth and coffee-forward. The magic is in the topper: we take our house-made Banana Bear sauceāslow-simmered fresh bananas and coconut sugarāand whip it directly into a thick coconut milk cold foam.
As you drink, the banana-infused foam slowly melts into the brew, creating a rich, caramelized flavor that isn't too sweet. Finished with a light dusting of chocolate powder to bring out those deep cocoa notes in the beans. Itās soulful, sophisticated, and hits just right in the island heat."
The Strawberry Matcha š
The Mood: Cooling down after a day in the salt and sun.
This one is all about the layers. We start with a heavy pour of our house-made strawberry honey reductionāmade right here with fresh berries and a touch of honey. Then, we float a vibrant, whisked ceremonial matcha right on top.
Watching the green clouds drift into the bright red strawberry base is a whole vibe by itself. Give it a gentle stir to mix that earthy matcha bite with the floral sweetness of the honeyed fruit. Itās clean, itās refreshing, and itās the exact 'pick-me-up' you need when the afternoon heat kicks in. Itās spring in Hawaii, captured in a glass.
