I grew up on the islands and my parents always took me to Lion Coffee. I was too young to drink it but I remember the smell like yesterday.

Picked up the macadamia K cups and literally had a tear in my eye from the nostalgia of just the smell. Delicious to boot, but the smell took me to a different, more tropical and happy place.

Love this company, never change and cheers from DC ❤️

Favorite morning spot for coffee. Best coffee, service & atmosphere. As a serious coffee connoisseur ? it’s on point every time. Especially the hot mocha!

Historic cafe and brand that the logo speaks for itself. I wanted to check it out since it is a legendary coffee roaster. The place is very nice and full of souvenirs and coffee beans, with small museum to go with it. I'd say though that the coffee is very old school as well, I think some younger coffee drinkers might find it a bit too strong. I liked it because I do enjoy many different types of coffee, but I could see why they were selling a lot of coffee based frappuchinos and drinks. All in all, it's not the best coffee in Hawaii, in my opinion. But for the historical purposes, it wouldn't be bad to pay a visit. Not a must though.

Coffee is decent. This business would do better if there were more food options…. We ordered an everything bagel. They gave us one small cream cheese which did not cover the entirety of both sides of the bagel. ALSO bathroom stall door doesn’t close? You have to hold it yourself…

I absolutely love this place! It’s dangerously close to my family’s house, so every time I fly back to the mainland, half my suitcase is packed with their coffee.

This spot is their coffee factory, but it’s also a cozy café where you can sip on some of the best coffee around. They even offer factory tours, and learn some cool coffee history about Hawaii.

I’ve never tried the food here because, honestly, I’m too busy chugging coffee like it's going out of style. But if I ever needed a place to hide away and get some work done, this would be it—great coffee, laid-back vibes, cool people that work here, and plenty of spots to hunker down. This place is a hidden gem for coffee lovers!

We stopped by to get some coffee and merch and were happy on both fronts.

The flavored cold brew was a winner. I wish I had bought some cans to go.

The staff was super friendly and helpful with the merch. The person working the register got some stuff from the back when we thought they might be sold out and he even gave my daughter a keychain for free.

I never visited Lion Coffee after spending most of my adult life in Hawaii. I missed out. A cool place with history, swag, and some good treats.
