Love this place. I've been to a few locations and it's always good! The coffee is amazing, but the real shocker is how great the food is! The local breakfast sandwich, croissantwich and Breakfast Burrito and so delicious, but my favorite by far is the Lomi Salmon Bagel....I crave it!!!!!
Highly recommend!

I used it several times while staying at the hotel. The store closes around 2pm, which is a shame. For coffee, I ordered a latte and a white flat. It's a little thin probably because it's Kona, but it's delicious. I went there around 8:00, and it was always busy and I could tell it was a popular restaurant. In addition to coffee, they also had banana bread.
When ordering, you will be asked for your name, and when it is served you will be called by that name. (I'm Japanese, but they called me properly!)
There were people working on computers in the hotel lobby, enjoying conversations while looking out at the pool, and Ali’s Coffee was nearby.

Inside the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel (to the right at the entrance) is the coffee shop. The Ali’i brand has smooth coffee and I had to try the unique Taro Ube Latte. Not too familiar with Taro or ube flavoring, though it wasn’t bad. It was very pretty, though the sugary-marshmallow flavor mostly hid any coffee taste. I’m glad I had it, and recommend if that’s your thing. The store is fine, weird sized tables/counters for customers but plenty of seating in the hotel lobby area. Nothing spectacular, though I wasn’t expecting it. 🤙🏼

Nestled in the heart of Honolulu, Ali’i Coffee is the kind of place that makes you wonder why you ever settled for mediocre chain lattes. This unassuming gem has garnered accolades not just for its exceptional brews but also for its delectable food offerings. Walking into Ali’i Coffee feels like stepping into a cozy island oasis. The light and airy shop is warm and inviting, with tables and stools made from reclaimed or upcycled wood. The walls showcase revolving artwork supporting Oahu’s vibrant art scene, making it the perfect spot to sip, savor, and maybe even get a little work done (if you must). Let’s talk coffee. These folks take their beans seriously, roasting 100% Kona as well as other great coffees from around the world. But it’s their signature drinks that truly steal the show: Taro Ube Latte: A unique blend that’s not too sweet, offering a delightful twist on your regular latte and the Ono Coconut: Cold-brew coffee meets coconut milk, muddled pineapple, and a hint of macadamia nut syrup. It’s like a tropical vacation in a cup—minus the sunburn. But don’t even think about leaving without trying their food. From breakfast sandwiches that exceed expectations to flatbreads like the prosciutto and pear topped with onions, mixed greens, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, the menu is a culinary delight.

Best tasting coffee I had in Hawaii. Delicious breakfast sandwiches, and you can eat and relax in chairs in a nearby Hotel with a pool view. Love it !!!!

Now that we’re leaving I can share that this is the one crowd free oasis for good coffee in all of Waikiki. Cute lobby and seating has always been available despite the rest of Waikiki being a slow walker reservation only nightmare.
Music alone gets 5/5. Elder millennial vibes are strong and appreciated. Prince Latte was great. Croissant sandwich was delicious. The bacon on it was especially stand out.
So far one of the best cold brews and lattes in Waikiki Beach, Honolulu! The chia seed pudding is phenomenal; we loved it!

The Taro Ube Latte was an interesting item on the menu that I had to try. It was delicious. Service was fast and the staff were friendly. I will probably return before I leave Honolulu.

I had ube latte and capuccino. Ube latte : Twice condensed strong taro flavour of Gongcha + one shot esspresso Unique taste! The capuccino was very strong, and taste was good. If you stay near or walk by, it's worth visiting once.

Staff is nice and awesome. Coffee is so smooth and tasty. Not bitter at all! I purchased two coffees back to back. That’s how good it is. lol. But the coffees were constantly good. The food was great. My wife is Gluten free and they had mochi waffle plate that was amazing.
