15 Best Coffee Shops in Kailua

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

“My absolute favorite spot to get coffee and a quick bite. Staff is always very friendly and helpful and the area in the back is soooo cute. Highly recommend! The coffee is also VERY good, they have the best chais out of the other coffee spots I’ve tried not watered down at all and their flavors are so good.“

“I stumbled upon Holoholo in Kailua not knowing quite what to expect—but I was genuinely impressed. The service was warm and welcoming, and the quality of the drinks exceeded my expectations. I ordered the macadamia nut latte with macadamia nut cold foam, and it was absolutely delicious. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced—highly recommend!

The shop itself is a hidden gem, tucked away with a charming little outdoor seating area under a beautiful plumeria tree. It’s the kind of spot that makes you want to linger a little longer. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Dining at 22 Kailua was nothing short of magical. From the moment we walked in, we were wrapped in a sense of calm elegance—with soft lighting and the gentle hum of happy conversations setting the tone for an unforgettable night. Every dish felt like a love letter to the islands. The ahi crudo was delicate and bright, bursting with flavor in the most graceful way. The butter-poached lobster was rich, soulful, and beautifully balanced—each bite melted like a dream. But it wasn’t just the food. The warmth of the chef, the passion in every plate, and the attention to detail made it feel personal—like a special evening crafted just for us. 22 Kailua isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a culinary experience full of heart. One you’ll remember long after the last bite. Pure love. 5 stars. 🌺“

“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“

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

“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.“
