I use their syrups for coffee at home and they are delicious! Get the coffee over the matcha, matcha is bland but their iced lattes are good. So far the food for breakfast on weekends is great. Some people may not care, but I was hoping the owner of this establishment was Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) but through my research I wasn't able to confirm or deny. Would love to know if the owner is, or if not, does this establishment source their coffee from Kona or from any of the Hawaiian islands? If they're not Kanaka, how are they supporting the Hawaiian land and people since their whole image is profiting from the Hawaiian image? Would love more insight. To me, it would be beneficial we give...
Okay coffee.?House Blend (Kéan Coffee) bag. Honu coffee is better than most coffee in the area. I like that they have their coffee roasted from an artisan. However, I 'm surprised to see there is no roast date on their bagged coffee. Fresher may not necessarily be better, but higher quality coffee deteriorates much sooner than cheaper 'Turn n Burn ' products. Having a reference frame of the roast can be important information for those who can 't finish a bag quickly. Personally, I prefer a roast date to observe how the roasted flavors develop over time.
I stopped by this charming little coffee shop while I was in the area and needed a caffeine boost. It has a cute, cozy atmosphere and offers a small selection of baked goods. I tried their signature drink and grabbed a cold brew to go. The signature drink was delicious, but I felt their coffee could pack a bit more punch. The cold brew was mild, so if you prefer a lighter brew, you’ll enjoy it. Personally, I like my coffee with a bit more intensity.
I ordered an oat latte, but it seemed like they forgot to add the coffee because it only tasted like oat milk. I paid almost $6, including tip, and I was really disappointed with my drink. It was close to closing time, and I didn’t see the barista use the espresso machine, so I’m not sure where the coffee came from. Overall, I’d rate the food 1 out of 5.

Even Starbucks would be better. Not only are they slow, the drinks coffees are some of the worst I’ve had in a long time. They charge premium third-wave prices but are making drinks at the level of a gas station. The cappuccino was pure, solid foam. The Cortado had no foam whatsoever. I am really surprised how this store achieved a 4.7 rating on Google.
The ambiance is charming and inviting. While the interior isn't very spacious, they do offer a lovely covered patio for outdoor seating. Prices are on the higher side, which is to be anticipated. However, their dirty chai is absolutely amazing!
The price of the iced latte was okay and the barista was friendly. The iced vanilla latte tasted watered-down, and both the syrup and coffee had very mild flavors, almost like it needed another shot of espresso in it.Food: 1/5
I hate to write bad reviews for local businesses but as you can see, basic customer service not met at all, they didn’t every worry about changing the cup and gave it to us like that. Maybe because we are not white people

Delicious coffee, knowledgeable staff and beautiful furnishings. The first time with my little boy and mother-in-law. So nice to find a coffee place that is more individual. Thank you for having us! We're coming back!
Great coffee with that Hawaiian vibe. They have some very unique choices. Tasty and very friendly people even during this crazy pandemic.
