50 Best Coffee Shops near Waimanalo

“I visited for the first time in February of 2023 and loved it. We didn't have an agenda other than to relax. Getting ready to make our second trip next month. Is it fancy? No, but the peace is worth more than gold. If you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay....wait, why am I telling you all about this place? I'm sure you can find a better place to suit your needs and desires. This probably isn't what you're looking for. I hear that the military resort in Korea is nice. You should check it out.“

“Great for what it is. Great people, Great atmosphere, Great location. Food is fine and gets it done. They have a starbucks machine that delivered for us when I needed my caffeine fix. The breakfast sandwichs where bot as hot as i hoped but overall im glad this place is here. Definitely coming back. Cant complain in paradise.“

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

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

“This is my go to coffee place! It’s just outside of Waikiki on Kapahulu Avenue! The owners are amazing and they take pride in everything they do. The coffee shop is always clean, smells amazing and welcoming for anyone that wants to grab a quick bite, some really good coffee or to talk stories on one of their tables. It’s nice to meet up with friends here and get hydrated and caffeinated while catching up before the drive home or to work! Highly recommend their hot mocha!“

“People seem to come here for matcha but their EARL GREY GELATO is the best EVER. I have tried so many earl grey desserts. This is one of the best. I tried earl grey, hojicha, lilikoi, matcha, black sesame and ube. They are all amazing. Loved the rich flavors.

FYI, there is a sitting area if you want to eat inside the building :)“

“Everything inside is 100%… but if you’re waiting for your food/drink outside the doors… be prepared to smell the bodily fluids of the mentally ill humans who patrol the area, and bring bug spray to fight the flees and bug bites that follow those smells around. I waited for 2 minutes outside and my legs are covered. Ambiance and experience of a great cafe unfortunately ruined by the area it’s in.“

“My wife and I went here both days we were in Oahu. The service was rather quick, and pleasant. Both days, I got a cappuccino with macadamia nut syrup or foam or something. It was extremely delicious. I forgot what my wife got, but she liked them both.“

“This place was recommended by a foodie friend of mine so I expected it to be good, but no, good doesn’t do it justice. The oat milk latte was glorious and the mango scone delicate, very lightly sweet and the perfect accompaniment to the latte. Service was friendly and helpful.“

“Lovely Coby is 10 out of 10 such a friendly and bright personality ✨
Purchased the matcha flavor and lychee rose drink. Absolutely delicious 😋
Highly recommend to all my family and friends. Coby so thoughtful and kind to offer taste samples. Everything is good here and so hard to decide what flavor to get next.
time. Parking is out front (9x metered parking stalls) or the Korean Christian Church up the street/ Short 5 minute walk away.“

“great sandwich. good service“

“Love it! Cute little coffee and on-the-go breakfast options. I had a toasted marshmallow latte with oatmilk, Good Life breakfast sandwich and a mango tajin lemonade. Everything was delicious! I wanted to try to mango tajin limeade, but they were out of the limeade so I settled for lemonade and it did not disappoint! I highly recommend.“

“Love this place. I've been to a few locations and it's always good! The coffee is amazing, but the real shocker is how great the food is! The local breakfast sandwich, croissantwich and Breakfast Burrito and so delicious, but my favorite by far is the Lomi Salmon Bagel....I crave it!!!!! Highly recommend!“

“The coffee is delicious and the staff is very friendly. I get coffee shipped home to me every month or two for my Ohana! Mahalo, Fred!😊“

“I love the vibe of this place the 2 separate seating rooms is very helpful. there’s a good amount of seating inside but it can get VERY busy very fast. Despite the busyness the service is always super friendly and pretty fast. You can also buy their house syrups among other things. I love the very unique drinks and the banana bread is literally one of the best I’ve ever had.“

“The Best Rockstar place on Oahu!“

“Love this place. I've been to a few locations and it's always good! The coffee is amazing, but the real shocker is how great the food is!

“I have lived right across from this coffee shop for over a year and I finally tried it. I read reviews about the Hawaiian latte and figured I would give it a try. Definitely delicious and I recommend. I will be back for sure to get that coffee again. I didn’t try any food. It was very quiet and only a couple people in there.“

“Best coffee, best toast. Best experience!“

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

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

“Croissant is awful (for European taste)
Energy balls are ok
Cappuccino was 3.8/5 for me. Not that bad. Maybe will give another try

Location is great

Many seating options

Very relaxing atmosphere“

“The ladies who work here are very sweet. They give you extra smoothie in a little cup. The smoothies are the best I’ve ever had and the fruit is delicious. If you buy a 32 oz you can keep the jar and bring it back for $7 refills. The fruit is reasonably priced, $5-7 for a good size container.“

“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.“

“Omakase was very good! There was a variety of sushi pieces and presentation was simple but carefully created! Atmosphere was quaint but roomy enough to the person sitting next to you. Domo Arigato Chef!!“

“First time trying this place with my dad to celebrate 3 months of our keto journey, and it blew us away. The ambiance and service were top-notch, and every single dish was cooked to perfection. We got the burger, fried rice, brisket, and the chicken and waffles—all amazing, but that chicken and waffles seriously hit different. Highly recommend!“

“Great iced latte, super fast service and the kindest gal processing orders! This spot is a total gem!“

“Excellent food with a really creative menu. Malia always makes the best plated presentations.“

“Appealing, on the healthier side, delicious breakfast place.
They have limited options but available options are unique and yummy.
The service is bit on the slow, if you have a party of three, they still serve one person at a time. So plan your time well.
But the breakfast is awesome.
Highly Recomended !!“

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

“The Tropical tribe açaí bowl with power toppings keeps me coming back!“

“Drove from Waikiki several times over my trip because this is seriously SO good. The tiramisu latte is the best latte I have ever had. Unfortunately, I told the cashier this information, and instead of being greeted with a simple thank you, I received the dirtiest look I have ever gotten in my entire life. Incredibly off putting“

“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!“

“Lovely Coffee Shop! Five Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Reagan (so sorry if I butchered the spelling of your name! 😫) recommended her favorite: the matcha lilikoi soda, but with a twist—split the lilikoi syrup with strawberry syrup. The result? A divine, perfectly balanced matcha and fruity goodness that goes down way to easily. Reagan’s friendliness and the speed at which my customized drink was served up also added to the delightful experience after a sweaty yoga class at Hot Yoga 8 across the street. There was a line to order, and yet my drink was ready in less than 5 minutes. I also easily struck up a friendly chat with Danielle, who I found out later was on the clock on her very first shift at Daily Whisk Matcha. I would normally hesitate to purchase any kind of beverage for $11, but I had an overall excellent experience, a great recommendation for a drink, friendly and fast service, and a welcoming ambience—I’ll definitely be back for more.“

“Staff were efficient. The long Q move quickly“

“Had a great dining experience at Ruscello! Our server/bartender, Andrew, was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. We ordered the panko chicken salad, calamari, and lobster bisque with crostini. Everything was delicious and well prepared, and the lobster bisque was especially rich and flavorful. Overall, great food and wonderful service from Andrew. We'll definitely be back!“

“Kristen is the best and she has her son helping them out for the summer as well. They’re very friendly and they remember your order and actually converse with you and get to know you. All their coffees and matcha are addicting. I go here almost every day haha. Support local!!!“

“I had a great experience at this coffee shop! Kylie provided excellent customer service and was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. She made sure everything was taken care of and really made the visit enjoyable. It’s always nice to receive such outstanding service, and Kylie definitely went above and beyond to make a great impression. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend stopping by for great coffee and wonderful customer service! ☕😊“

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

“I bought donuts that are really great! The best I’ve had ! All so fresh and delicious- You get to watch your donut being made- I would go back every day- My boyfriend said this- put the donut in your mouth, sip Kai coffee- then swish it around and swallow— enjoy for 15 seconds- then enjoy all the sugar and flavors around your teeth-then enjoy the flavors between your teeth-enjoy for 45 seconds- then think about going back for another!!! The service is impeccable! I’ll be back!“

“Great coffee! Great service!“

“GREAT! IT WAS MY FIRST TIME AND THEY WERE ALL NICE AND THEY AUGGESTED TO ME THE CARAMEL PUDDING ONE. IT WAS GREAT. THANKS FOR A GOOD PICKER UPPER, MY 16 HOIR SHIFT NEEDED THIS :) MAHALO LADIES AND THE ONE GUY AT QQ TEA!!“

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

“Fresh tasty and savoy flavors as you can see check it out and friendly owner Jessica“

“I randomly came across this cute little coffee cart and was so impressed by the coffee. The beans aren’t too acidic or too smoky, and the coffee actually has a lot of flavor without being too light or watered down. Everything tastes really well-balanced.

I’m only here for a week, but I’ll definitely be coming back every morning!“
