Knots Coffee Roasters, located in the Queen Kapiolani Hotel near the Honolulu Zoo, is a welcoming café that offers a full coffee and tea menu, as well as cocktails and food options. The café has a covered seating area with beautiful trees and plants, making it a great spot to relax and escape the sun or rain. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the café is dog-friendly. The food menu includes options such as avocado toast, Japanese-style pancakes, and delicious breakfast loco moko with a tasty burger patty. The coffee is really good, especially the popular longboard, and the acai bowls are a highlight, filled with granola and generous portions of fruit. The café also has open-air seating and outlets, making it a suitable location for meetings or working.
The café is the first international outpost of a Tokyo-based concept, brought to Hawaii in 2018 as part of the hotel's renovation. The open-air terrace offers a serene view of Kapiolani Park's canopy of coconut palms and monkey pod trees, providing a tropical treehouse experience between urban energy and natural calm. The menu reflects serious ambition, featuring $18 cocktails crafted with local Koloa rum and house-made macadamia orgeat, as well as an extensive selection of Big Island and Maui coffee roasters.
While prices are on the higher side, the quality generally justifies the cost. However, some find the workflow slow at times, and the drink sizes could be more generous for the price. Overall, Knots Coffee Roasters offers a unique and relaxing experience, catering to those seeking refuge from Waikiki's intensity.
