50 Best Coffee Shops near Waimanalo

“Yes, we love Bellows. It has been our favorite place on earth since 1972 but why oh why did you cut down so many trees. What a loss! We were there in May and were so sad to see the state of ragged tree trunks everywhere and no shade in which to relax and picnic. Could this not be done gradually with new trees planted on a rotating basis?“

“Their coffee is delicious, we ordered a regular venti coffee and a peppermint mocha frappe. Both were very yummy. We also ordered a breakfast bento and it was pretty good. The rice was luke warm but not bad. Nice little coffee place. CASH ONLY and no ATM.“

“Good breakfast special but needs to add black tea to menu“

“If you’re looking for an ube fix, Nana’s Tea has an ube soft serve swirl will do you right. Aside from the creamy soft serve, they add a small dollop of fresh ube halaya and a couple of mochi ball. Will come back to try the other flavors!“

“This coffee shop is a gem and quickly became the highlight of our trip! The owner was so welcoming to us and our baby, it has truly left such a wonderful memory for us in Oahu. We went back again and again, day after day! The Açaí bowl, Pitaya bowl, scones, cookie and coffee were all so good. The owner even came out just to say goodbye to us on our last day on the island, it was truly heartwarming! We will miss Pai Cafe so much!“

“The open atmosphere and kindness you receive goes a long way in my book! Plus the Coffee and events are fantastic!“

“Sunny’s was an awesome find for breakfast. The servers are so nice and the food was awesome. I had the avocado toast - so good. Lots of variety and healthy meals. I would highly recommend this spot.“

“We got the vanilla chai hot and iced lavender matcha, both were REALLY good! It's a cute little spot too, love the vibe!

Parking: They have like 3 spots for the cafe but the lot is shared and has reserved spots for other businesses too. Street parking and nearby strip mall has plenty of spots“

“Coming from seattle, I find it hard to locate a non-burnt or acidic tasting coffee place in Waikiki.
This place is a gem find. It is tucked in the back and side street of the DFS duty free shopping mall. Ordered a plain latte (no syrup), it tasted very smooth and good. Def recommend!
They also have nice seating areas, not crowded at all.
Comparing to the over hyped Kona coffee in international market (always has a long line too), this place is so much better in taste and wait time.“

“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!“

“Staff were efficient. The long Q move quickly“

“I have frequent this place multiple times in the morning. Compared to neighboring coffee shops, this one is my favorite.
Cold brew is slightly less than $5.00, iced and straight. No cream and no sugar. It's smooth, tasty, just like the rest of the coffee from their shop. I like the energy bar, still need to try the other food items.
Nice chill location, service staff is friendly and has a good atmosphere.
I'm not sure how their parking is since I walk there.“

“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 ?“

“A small and cozy coffee shop, I ended up trying a blueberry coffee (forget the name) and it was an extremely satisfying pairing - my friend got the Kuro Goma and a few other coffees to bring back, and they tasted pretty great as well! They have LOTS of flavors of coffee/drinks though, so I'd recommend any of them for people looking for quality coffee at an aesthetically pleasing shop

“Super friendly staff. Wide range of variety, and they are all sooooo gooood!! They have the best croissants.
Their butter croissants are my personal favorite.

Vegetarian options: You can request a vegetarian alternative.“

“I have been enjoying all the new coffee places popping up locally but this shop has the local-style syrups, amazing banana bread, and lovely local products I really enjoy. I’m never thought I’d sit outside drinking coffee in Chinatown but really enjoyed myself. A must do if you like coffee!“

“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.“

“Hidden gem. Loved their açaí bowl and turkey pesto bagel, especially liked how their bowls weren’t too sweet and had some added protein.
The bagel could have been more fresh and would be nice to have more than one person behind the counter so the wait is less. But overall definitely recommend“

“I came at 8:30am on a weekday Wednesday morning.

I asked for
Pumpkin spice scone ($5), iced oat latte ($6.5), and iced chai ($6.25).

The scones were warm, crispy on the outside and very tasty. The spices worked well and the white chocolate had a nice melty feel to it.
I think the latte is properly bitter and would be good to have with scones.
The chai had a hint of ginger and was delicious. The person who took my order was very nice and the atmosphere of the store was very nice. There were quite a few customers with their dogs, and we got to see all kinds of cute dogs.

It's also a great place to take a break with a delicious cup of coffee after seeing a lot of things in Salt.
I'll come back later!“

“My husband ordered the acai bowl, and I ordered the tropical bowl, both in a coconut shell bowl. Both were amazing! We definitely could have shared one, though, as there was a lot! It was a bit pricey. With the bowls, it was about $50, but for a one-time experience, it was worth it. It was very busy but we received our food pretty quickly. There isn't much seating, but it's meant to be a beach shack vibe, so it made sense. It was easy to eat while window shopping or they're were lots of places along the street to sit.“

“Always on the hunt for unsweetened matcha, and Daily Whisk has just that! You can add sweetener if you’d like, but their matcha is solid on its own. There are other menu options as well, if you don’t want just straight matcha. Parking area is tight and small, but plenty of street parking available around the corner. Definitely worth the drive to Kaimuki every time!“

“Super cool coffee shop that me and a friend went to when we were looking for a quick pick-me-up in Ward! She ended up getting the strawberry matcha while I got the ube flavor coffee, it was the perfect amount of sweetness while still being able to energize me without a sugar crash of any kind. Recommended for sure if you're in the area and want something while you're on the go adventuring!

“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.“

“finally the best coffee in hawaii. it's a shame that I don't put the coffee in a mug but in a paper cup and the cafe is close to a busy street, but otherwise there's nothing to complain about. service perfect. ice cream, maybe even better than what we have in Europe.“

“I ate breakfast here twice while visiting Honolulu, and I’m still day dreaming about their lavender latte and Moana Bowl now that I’m home. The orchid on the bowls is a nice touch. I was surprised by the line, but on my second visit, I ordered take-out. It was ready and waiting for my by the time I walked over from my hotel at the Hilton.“

“My husband took a private surf lesson from Joshua. Joshua was so very patient and encouraging, even though my husband was unable to get to a standing position, through no fault of Josh. We highly recommend Big Wave Dave Surf & Coffee for all 1st time surfers.“

“great sandwich. good service“

“I'm impressed by the quality of the coffee and the warm, inviting atmosphere maintained by the owners. For a quick snack or a nice cup of coffee or tea, this spot is ideal.The relaxed vibe and comfortable seating make it the perfect spot to unwind after a busy day.“

“The coffee here is really delicious. Even if it's not a single-origin coffee, the house coffee of the day, which you can choose hot or iced (a small one costs around $2!), is delicious, and the coffee is brewed with care by the owner, who is passionate about coffee. I hope it doesn't change...“

“Great coffee shop - I love the views!“

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

“Best coffee, best toast. Best experience!“

“Chicest place in town to catch up with friends or enjoy a cafe treat. What’s better than that? Getting to go shopping afterwards in their attached retail location with selections from local artists and creators. Love this place!“

“We've ALWAYS received excellent service at Ruscello's, and today's visit was no exception. We sat outside for lunch, there was a nice soft breeze, had a bottle of wine (half off on Weds!) and enjoyed the food: salads and French dip - yum! What a great way to enjoy a relaxing afternoon!“

“Love their coffee design machine! Breakfast sandwiches were great, and the service was as well. Cute little spot.“

“Excellent food in a cool atmosphere!“

“I had a rather pleasant Hangover burrito. It was tasty enough, but it wasn't a 'worldbeater'. The waiting time was about 20 minutes, which wasn't too bad, considering how busy they were.

Edit : Six hours later, I'm still full up from the burrito. It might look a tad wussy when you get it, but it's a heck of a lot more substantial!“

“I went to the Ward location and it was an awesome experience. The manager was very kind and was a source of knowledge. I bought the refill jar and she let me sample a couple of different types I can refill my jar with. I used to work at Starbucks, and this is the kind of place of love supporting. :) 5 stars, great job!“

“Dropped by NOLA on Saturday morning for a beignet flight. The service was quick and friendly, though they were out of vanilla and offered pumpkin instead. The beignets are made fresh to order, so there’s a bit of a wait, but it’s worth it. The space is big and clean, but the music was a bit loud for 7 AM—maybe not the best spot to relax with a coffee. That said, the beignets were delicious with a great texture, and the filling was generous without being overly sweet. Highly recommend!“

“I visited the shop by the Hilton , you have a very excellent representative as the clerk. Mia is a nice sales lady. She offered me a sample of the cake when I looked at the cake tins. Then when I mentioned the gifts I was buying & looking for chocolates, she offered me a sample of chocolate covered coffee bean. A very pleasant young woman. I did buy something. Very pleasant experience. Linda“

“Great coffee! Great service!“

“Great staff, great coffee. Try the Kai Latte.“

“Our first authentic shave ice and it blew away our expectations! Delicious, fresh, and the best sweet treat!“

“I have been in Honolulu for two weeks and have tried a different coffee shop almost every day. Try Coffee is by far the best coffee I have had. The baristas are very knowledgeable and friendly.

I would definitely recommend Try Coffee if you consider yourself a coffee snob and aren't a huge fan of the darker roasts.

The space is really great as well. Lot's of comfortable seating.“

“The best High Tea we've had, including The Fairmont in a few key cities. Excellent!!“

“My fave coffee in Town, I always get the latte or iced coffee on my way to work. The owner takes a lot of care in selecting the beans and you can really tell in the taste! The kiosk is so easy to grab and go on my way to work and the barista is so friendly.“

“Coffee is good but takes time so be patient! The staff seems unorganized, ordering latte twice but they were out of an ingredient each time. Our strawberry smoothie took 10 minutes and there were only two customers before me whom already had their orders so it was frustrating.“

“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.“

“I went there three times during my one-week stay.
I drank the green smoothie with less ginger and no ginger, but I feel like it's complete with ginger.
The watermelon smoothie, which is not on the menu, is refreshing and delicious.
I think I will go again next time!“

“Such a cute coffee shop.
Their Hawaiian latte is amazingly delicious and I miss it already.
Got a bag of coffee for a gift, just make sure you understand how much you’re paying for the bag before you check out, some of the prices are nuts but understandable.“
