The Curb Kaimuki

Quite literally a business that is Keeping it Kaimukī. If you are trying to plug into local culture, start here. Coffee Shop turns into Wine Bar — fun events and themed nights. Everyone is here. If you’re not, reconsider.

My partner and I walked to The Curb Kaimuki for a matcha and pandan latte. The drinks were delicious! We also got the black sesame rice crispy treat, which tasted dull. We would still come back again as this is an Asian-owned, queer cafe.

I had the lavender matcha with oat milk. It’s extremely smooth and didn’t leave the nasty after taste that Starbucks oat milk matcha does. I do think it could use a stronger lavender flavor, but I generally enjoyed it. Not the best matcha on island, but it’s something I would get again. I liked the atmosphere of the café and the mason jar cup was a nice touch. There’s a decent amount of seating both indoors and outdoors. Parking is primarily on the street, as the lot is small, but it’s not too difficult to find a spot by the housing.

Best overall café in Honolulu! Besides usually being very busy, they boast great coffee, a great place to talk, listen to their music, read or admire the busy Waialae traffic out the large curved window on the corner. They have A/C, bathrooms, outdoor seating and an amazing bakery next door. I always stop in (if the line isn’t too long) 🤙🏼

Parking: Parking in the back, or street parking, or paid street parking on Waialae.

Very friendly service and nice coffee

Award winning pastry chef.

The coffee was not for me , the taste and the way they prepare it seems it lacks consideration. I think its just preference.

Remarkable place serving best coffee roasters and doing them justice. At the time of my visit they carried Olympia and Heart. Heart's blend for espresso. The first double shot I had was amazing with coffee origins easily readable early on. The second was not as clear but still above anything else I tried on this short trip. Pour over also landed just right showcasing some detailed sweetness and enough acidity on the back. These folks are doing a great job!

Ordered and paid for a nitro cold brew...yet it came from a pitcher and was flat.
Atmosphere matches the vibe of kaimuki, service is friendly and patience. Nice looking place to hangout, possibly to study at.
