One of my favorite local spot in the island. Serving are big and food made fresh. My wife loved the burger. Lechon kawali never disappoints.

Kapoilani coffee shop yelp review

My husband and I came here for lunch. He ordered his favorite, oxtail soup, and I ordered kalbi rice with extra kalbi. The food came out quickly, but as soon as I took a bite, I noticed a strange taste. I wasn’t sure at first, so I asked my husband to try it. The moment he tasted it, he spit it out and said the meat was sour and spoiled.

We immediately called the server over and told them about it. They apologized and offered to replace my order, which they did, but that doesn’t change the fact that the first plate they served me had spoiled meat. This makes me question whether they check the freshness of their food at all.

They gave us a 5% discount for my kalbi rice, but honestly, that doesn’t make up for the risk of eating something unsafe. This will be our last visit.

Saw a review of this place on YouTube and I had to come and try it for myself. To be honest, it did not disappoint. It reminds me of an old diner like style that reminds me of a vintage restaurant. It also reminds me of my family's restaurant back home where most people go for the one special dish. There special dish is their ox tail soup and I can definitely say that it is amazing. Of course this is my opinion, but it has amazing flavor and taste! Would love to bring my family here and most definitely would eat here again. Service was pretty good and the place gets very busy. We had a little wait until we were seated but overall it was worth the wait. Would recommend this place to anyone that would like home style cooked food.

They don’t sell any coffee despite the name

Service not so good. Food not as good as it once was

Is NOT a coffee shop. Its a restaurant, and their coffee is drip and sub-par

Love this place. Best diner coffee I've had on island. Eaten here many times and never had a bad experience. Great food all around.

First time here and food was so good. Definitely recommend banana pancake and katsu curry chicken. Service was excellent l, so friendly. It’s a small place so you have to wait in line outside to get in but the line moved really quick. Would definitely come again on our next visit.

Excellent oxtail soup, great portions, but a bit pricey. They give lots of cilantro and ginger for the soup making it that much better. Yummm!

Parking: Fair sized lot but with all the different shops, it can get very busy and finding parking can be a challenge.
