I've been meaning to go here for months, and a rainy Sunday afternoon proved to be the perfect moment to stop by with some friends. The interior, though small, is so charmingly decorated with such care and delightful details. Although known more for their bottled beverages, I opted for- and thoroughly enjoyed- a freshly made drink. The blueberry matcha was delicious, and is probably one of my top three matchas on island now! At first I wondered if I'd misordered because there was no visible blueberry-ness, but the first sip proved me wrong. The blueberry flavor was very present but still paired beautifully with matcha and oat milk, and the blueberry scented cold foam on top was wizardry. Overall, it was a nice sweet treat, while being not-too-sweet! My companion also got their yuzu chocolate oat coffee drink, and while that seemed like an ambitious combination, let me tell you... they pulled it off! The flavor notes come in waves and it was refreshingly unique and well balanced. The staff are all so friendly, fashionable, and chill. Also enjoyed their ube swirl bread to share. Also, LOVE that they are open later til 6pm, which is so rare for cafes here! Will be coming back to sample lots more and also check out their covered patio next time :)

Blueberry cold brew is life changing. Never tasted a coffee drink like it. Ube loaf was so tasty too! Super cute decor/aesthetic.

I love going here, I wish I could go here everyday. The vibes are just amazing, and the drinks are always great. They have some baked goods, but it’s very limited and they would always run out of the good ones when I get there. I always look forward to their seasonal menu, but my favorite at the moment is their s’mores iced hot chocolate, I would order two every time. I usually just do a grab and go order. When I do stay in, I noticed they take a little longer than I would like to make one drink. The set up is amazing though. The space is a little small and there’s not a lot of seats, but it’s cozy and they also have a patio outside. Every time I am in the area, I would always go here because I love it so much. I already cannot wait to go back!

This charming café, owned by Erin, is full of cozy vibes and a touch of Japanese culture. Every detail in the space—decor, furniture, and merchandise—is so cute and full of personality, it instantly brings a smile to your face. I especially loved their eco bags—the illustrations and fonts are absolutely adorable!
I ordered the “KURO GOMA” drink, made with cold brew, oat milk, roasted black sesame seeds, and pure black sesame paste syrup. It had a rich, nutty sweetness with deep roasted flavor—deliciously bold, yet not overly sweet. I enjoyed every sip.
There are many other drinks I’d love to try next time. Can’t wait to go back!

A japanese-style coffee shop specializing in creative oat-milk based cold brews. They also sell local vendor fresh baked goods and house made drinks. They have a limited food selection and I wish there were more vegetarian options, but the staff is so super friendly every time I visit that I don't really mind. Love you guys 🫶

The Kinako cold brew is so good!! Not too sweet. I love how they put a “*” to indicate the less sweet ones…. So smart!! The lady was nice too and cute. There was a long line but it went by fast on a Saturday. There was some Mediterranean dessert pop up inside. It’s a little pricey, $10 for the bottle but it is 16oz and local in 2025…. Can’t complain. Imma go back!

The service of this coffee shop is exceptional! Coffee lovers will appreciate the variety. Their curated drinks are incredible as well as the staff who work there. Highly recommend the hojicha and the Black Sesame Latte.
Both to go and cafe only drinks available. The to go drinks are freshly made cold brew bottles. You can purchase those, and they’ll give you a cup of ice if you want to drink it right away. The flavors are so vast and unique.
Parking is street parking outside the shop. It can get a bit crowded inside because the shop is small and popular. However, it is well worth the wait.

Best coffee I had for a while. Best cold brew ever. Best coffee in Hawaii so far. After having hojicha latte, we got 5 more cold brews in different flavors right away. One bottle makes 2 iced coffee.

Met a friend here for coffee and was greet right away. I meant to get the black sesame cold brew, but got the latte version by accident - it was still great! The barista let me taste it before I ordered it since it is a bit unusual. This coffee shop feels like you're at your coffee friend's apartment with cutie patootie details and stellar service and communication. The menu is available online and is hanging on the wall. They have alternative milks, cosy seating indoors, a lil patio with plants, stickers, digital camera available, and have an option to preorder jugs of your favorite coffees! Parking can be tricky, but it is worth the effort! Highly recommend!
Finally made it back to this small cozy shop that makes all the delicious tea drinks (and cold brew) you can think of. Friendly customer service!! I am not surprised if everything tastes phenomenal. It left an impression on my husband when we were on island for Vacation. So happy to be living here now and add it to my list of 10/10 places 💖 They should open another location.

Seriously the cutest, sweetest little cafe. An interesting find in the location, my only complaint is I wish they had a bigger space so there could be more seats! Hopefully someday, but maybe the small shop lends to the immaculate vibe.
