“ A clean, chic cafe with tasty specialty coffee in the heart of Waikiki. This is a much bigger space than their Kaimuki location! I ordered a 100% Kona pourover (delicious) and a croque monsieur and canele. They brought everything to me where I was sitting, fairly quickly and nicely presented. Seating is ample: you can choose from comfy armchairs to hang out with friends or a counter with outlets if you wanna charge your laptop. Noise level is average, there wasn't too many people here when I went. I would choose this over the nearby Starbucks any day! #supportlocal ”
“ Visited here twice and I think it's way better than kona. No need to wait or line up. This shakarato is really good. The staffs are nice and fast and sharp. I like the glass bottle as well. Fair price as well. The seating area is comfortable and quiet. ”
“ Service was fast and accurate! This will be our coffee spot while visiting. Love that they have almond milk. Friendly service! ”
“ What a beautiful, quiet little cafe in Waikiki. I'm hesitant to post a review because I'd hate to see this place overrun with tourists (I've seen the insane queues for coffee at some of the other coffee shops). But they deserve recognition, perfect coffee, a simple but tasty menu and cakes, and super relaxing environment. Friendly staff and some lovely artwork to top it off. Tick. ”
“ I stumbled upon this place during my final stroll through Waikiki before heading to the airport, and I’m so glad I did! I ordered their single-origin pour-over along with a canele, and both were exceptional. The coffee was smooth and well-balanced and the ambiance was warm and inviting. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town! ”
“ The staff here are incredibly friendly! I tried the matcha latte and the flat white, and both were excellent—definitely a solid five stars! The cozy atmosphere inside makes it well worth the visit. If you're looking for a place to relax amidst the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, this is the spot for you! ”
“ Excellent shakes and dessert/snacks. Food menu itself is short so think coffee-first not breakfast. Check out the snacks below, Turkish delights were fun and the energy balls were excellent (PB). ”
“ Probably the best latte I’ve had on the island. Strong smooth. I recommend the overnight oats as well. Very quiet and spacious even though it is in the back of a shopping center. You can definitely work or study here for a few hours! Note that they stop serving food at 2pm. ”
