I stopped by for a quick breakfast sandwich before running errands. There’s usually a line but it goes quickly. The staff is exceptionally friendly. I got my sandwich to go and was pleasantly surprised that it still came on a plate. It had a beautiful cheese pull and hit the spot.

Got thrown out after ordering and sitting quietly in the back. Apparently they didn't like the way I looked.

Talk Kaimuki is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a space that brings people together. This was for a special event however i’ve been before. Nestled in the heart of Kaimuki, this cozy café radiates warmth, making it the perfect place to start your morning, catch up with friends, or dive into a good book with a great cup of coffee in hand.
The coffee is rich, smooth, and crafted with care, while the menu offers a mix of fresh pastries, wholesome bites, and locally inspired flavors that keep you coming back. But what truly makes Talk Kaimuki special is the atmosphere.
At night it goes from coffee to comfy where Brit, Noah, and the team escort you to nirvana! Whether you’re looking for a quiet spot to work, an inspiring environment to create, or a wind-down/turn-up, this place delivers. Staff are a true reflection of the owner.
Talk Kaimuki embodies the true spirit of the neighborhood. If you’re looking for more than just coffee—if you’re looking for a place to visit or belong—this is it.
The Wi-Fi is fast and the service friendly (the afternoon staff was great) but… The baked goods were quite bland, and instead of fluffy or moist a bit gummy. The tea wasn’t given time to steep before tossing milk in and was nothing special. The coffee was fine but again nothing special. It’s incredibly loud, and unless you want to sit in the back by the restrooms there’s no plugs which limits your time if you go to study or work (which is how we ended up there). Maybe cocktails are better!

This Coffee talk cafe is awesome, Great customer service and people, and the coffee is delicious and they have the best Blueberry Scones, and they even have a customer microwave to heat them up so they just melt in your mouth, they also have a lot of other good dishes too 🤗🤙 💯%

Delicious iced lattes. On the strong side of espresso. Fairly large dining area to relax and read a book with your coffee. Friendly atmosphere as well. There's a small independent Bookshop close by too.

Coffee Talk has been a staple in the kamuki area for a long time. One of the popular shops for college students to study at, it's large space allows for multiple individuals or groups to study or hangout. Their rich and creamy nitro cold brew is delicious. What elevates my rating of the drink is that there is no ice in the drink. Straight coffee, nice and cool. Not half filled with ice...so worth it. Lol I got the blueberry scone, large, moist and not too sweet. I think its from another place they order from, but regardless I really liked it. My coworker got the meat quiche (they have a vegetarian one too), he said it was okay, but he won't get it again. I saw a few things I want to try...definitely going back to eat the breakfast sandwich. Staff is friendly and nice. Atmosphere is inviting, matches the neighborhood.

Omg the coffee is amazing here! I’m a visitor from CA and the coffee is incredible. Also, the breakfast croissant was so tasty, the perfect texture and they had CHOLULA which is the best hot sauce.
This is a perfect, non touristy place to get work done and I’d recommend it.

To be honest, we wanted some late night coffee, but after arriving we found out it turns into a bar when the coffee shop is closed. We were greated by some amazing people, especially Britney who was super friendly and welcoming. We ended up getting a few drinks and an amazing pesto grill cheese, staying longer than anticipated. Honestly couldn't have been a better night. Definitely the perfect spot for some great drinks, cool vibes and nice people.
The vibe of this coffee shop is awesome sauce! Food is good, I wished that the cashier knew what clotted cream was for my blueberry scone, but oh well. Everything was delicious except for my Italian soda, I couldn't taste the passion fruit flavor very much. Will definitely come again.

This chill out spot with ample space and a good vibe serves coffee and pastries, menus are up on the walls. Coffee and food are nothing special, but good. They get by on location and ambiance, in my opinion.

This place has gone down hill a lot in the last couple months. I used to go here all the time and loved it but lately I’ve been left disappointed. They almost never have nitro/cold brew and it’s the only thing palatable because their espresso tastes terrible.
