16 Best Coffee Shops in Kailua

“Our son took us there when we were visiting. Best coffee I have ever had. Never bitter“

“We decided to grab some coffee before a run, and wanted to do something (hopefully) better than generic Starbucks..what a great choice! The mochas were delicious and just the kick we needed, and the coffee cake was rich in flavor and so yummy. No better spot to enjoy than their comfy couches and chill vibes inside. Very fair price points compared to some coffee joints - and the ladies taking our order and preparing food and drink were simply delightful. Keep up the hard work y'all, you're killin it!“

“Love this drive-thru !
You will get a few minutes before someone comes and takes your order.
So many options available and you can make so many combinations of drinks.

The cold brew specials (King &Queen) are so unique, I can’t stop thinking about them ?“

“This is a better omakase than in NYC, and like many others commented it is on par with Japan. I very much enjoyed here every course, and I highly recommend it. I also appreciated that the premium course had abalone and abalone liver, because that also speaks to omakase traditions.“

“Aloha. Stopped by & had some awesome java & water(for our Pittie girl🐾) & sat outside talkin story & peeps watchin🤙🤙🤙🤙“

“I went to Lilikoi Kitchen with a dear friend for brunch over the weekend and was very pleasantly surprised! We were immediately greeted by Laura who told us about the history of the restaurant and the chef’s dream of owning a cafe, and then introduced us to all of the staff there at the time. She listened to my dietary restrictions and helped me select something that I could eat and would love. Everything we ate and drank (PSL was so good, much better than Starbucks) was exceptional. If they started offering mimosas they would be the perfect ladies brunch locale! We will definitely be back.“

“It tasted different from FLORIDA.but other wise it okay“

“Love this place. The ladies in the morning are awesome. They know a lot of customers by name and their drinks. The vibes are very inviting and happy no matter how busy they are. I love the turkey pesto sandwich there. They also can make a mean latte. ❤️??“

“A good place for coffee. The turkey sandwich is good too.“

“Ordered Teh C...and Kopi and Kaya toast. the teh c taste like some regulat tea bag with just some.hot water poured into it. does not even taste like any teh from the singapore kopitiam. the kopi too.. the girl with the nose ring also forgot about out Kaya toast until I went to ask about it after 15 mins later. One of the girls did gave us a free croissant for that. I don't know why the girl keep saying teh Tarik when I ordered Teh C, had to confirm again and again.kaya toast tasted correct though.“

“Mango Dragonfruit & Sweet Cream Matcha! 😋😋😋“

“Can never go wrong with an amazing smoothie bowl. The base blend of orange, pineapple, guava and banana was so good. The guava adds a nice twang while the pineapple keeps it sweet. No idea how they make that pitaya sauce but it was incredible 🫰🏾 topping complemented the base blend well. I don’t think there was really much flavor from the bees pollen but it did make the bowl super cute. I got the small but I would recommend the medium or large if you come with an appetite because I tore threw that small so quickly. Also be prepared for a high price point @ $15.95 for a small and additional 1.50 to $3.00 for a medium or large. Too pricey for this to be a daily/weekly visit but definitely was worth the splurge while I was on island. We went here for a snack before we hit Kailua Beach 🏖️“

“This is hands down the best scones I’ve had. My mom and I always go to tea houses and we are scone experts! What I love about the owner (Jessica) is the love and expertise she puts into each flavor. The texture of the scone is perfect. The outside is firm but not crunchy and the inside is moist but the perfect scone consistency. They are not too sweet. Just sweet enough. With every bite the scone’s taste develops more and more. My favorites are the UBE & the LEMON CREAM CHEESE SCONE. I also order the Japanese cheese cake when I go. It is spongy and not too filling. And my trip to Bits & Bites visit is only complete with my favorite TIRAMISU LATTE, whole milk, topped with their home made cheese foam! Perfection!

Go early because she usually sells out before 3pm.“

“Ummm best pancakes ever! Great service also. Thanks 😊“

“The girls working behind the counter were friendly and effecient. Starting off my day with good coffee and a smile made my Hawaiian experience even better..“

“The caramel macchiato is amazing. It is lighter than I am used to so I was a little nervous but the flavor is there! The coffee to sweetness ration is spot on such an amazing drink and the service was exceptional when I went mid day, I certainly recommend!“
