The Queen and the signature cold brew were very good but one is super sweet and the other without cream is too bitter so we mixed the two and they were perfect.Loved the smoked salmon bagel and the stand breakfast sandwich.

The bagel and lox was absolutely delicious. Coffee was excellent. Cinnamon French toast was unbelievably good. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast and coffee. Kids enjoyed their meals.

We bought a very expensive bag of their coffee and it was only mediocre. Definitely not espresso quality.

My wife ordered the Taro Ube Iced Latte, and I got The Prince. Both were delicious! If you ever find yourself nearby, you should definitely stop by for a drink.

Full disclosure: my partner and I are from Australia so we are spoilt with the best coffee in the world by a long shot, but I'll review anyway.Ube Taro latte is delicious. My partner got it, it's her first time in America so I tried to steer her away from an espresso for her first drink. It was a delicious drink.I am an espresso drinker. I had heard good things about coffee in HI so thought I'd give espresso here a shot when I usually would never have espresso in America due to the significantly lower quality than Australian espresso.If I have to be honest, the beans were far too over roasted. Coffee culture is meant to focus on the unique properties and flavour of each beans, to bring out their unique flavour profiles. If you over roast the bean, all you taste is burnt caffeine pretty much which is typical of American espresso. This was reflected ib my espresso too so needless to say I was really dissapointed with my drink, particularly since after conversion it was about $7 Australian more expensive than our 7/11 espressos which are far nicer.It's just a reminder for us exactly why Americans add so much other stuff to their "coffees". I'd recommend barristas to try train with Australian trained barristas to understand what elevates an espresso.Cute store, clearly hard working staff but their espresso isn't at the quality I'd expect from a cafe being used to Australian Cafe culture.Service was also quite slow. I'm used to 3 minute turnarounds for coffee in small cafes.Summary: 5 stars for the ube Taro latte, gorgeous looking drink with a great flavour. 1 star for the espresso. Average 3 star between both drinks.

I LOVED the avacado toast so much I replicated it at home for my breakfasts. To go sandwiches were great to take with us on beach day. Staff super nice. Sometimes lines are a bit long, so give yourself time.

I really enjoy this place for coffee and sandwiches! My friend got the pastrami sandwich (pictured below) and the maple latte. I got the tuna melt (which I ate before I took a pic of) and the sweet & creamy. The sandwiches were really good with the side of chips and would recommend to anyone looking for not so heavy lunch. The coffee definitely hits the spot when needing that afternoon pick me up. I do like my coffee sweet (yes I'm a can I have some coffee with that sugar please) so I wish it was a bit sweeter but if you love that coffee taste (as do everyone) then would recommend!

I am so glad I found this cafe, they have the best nitro coffee I’ve found in Oahu! And I’ve tried a lot of cafes. They have one that’s called the king and it is just that the king of coffee! Staff is excellent, super friendly and service is great.
