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.“

“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“

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

“Good not great, matcha is pretty solid quality but the hojicha is just okay. It feels like more of an afterthought as it’s the less popular of the two. I do think the desserts are something I’d like to come back for though. I hope they source a better hojicha powder in the future for their lattes. Plenty of seating as well.“

“Pai Cafe Coffee & Acai Bowls is more than just a coffee shop; it's a delightful community hub. My husband and I grabbed a classic, bold Cold Brew and the velvet cream cold brew to go after our lunch. Their cold brew is phenomenal and very strong just on its own. I altered mine by adding 1/2 of the cold foam and it was the perfect amount of coffee flavor with a hint of vanilla. I bet their acai is amazing as well, just too full from lunch. The phenomenal treats, quality, friendly service, and warm atmosphere guarantees a great experience. Will definetly come back. Please don't leave without trying their signature velvet cream!“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved Better Daze Coffee! I got the local honey matcha latte — hands down the best matcha I’ve had so far on my trip. My husband ordered an Americano, and we shared the yummiest bagel with garlic herb cream cheese (seriously, so good!). I only wish they were closer to the strip where we’re staying, because I’d be there every single morning.“

“This shop is always rotating roasters and coffees they offer. I ordered a pour over with notes of cherry from their adventurous section of the menu (it was very cherry) at the bar and the friendly, knowledgeable baristas brought it to where I was sitting. Good spot to try something new.“

“great sandwich. good service“

“Fantastic little cafe that specializes in unique cold brews but also has an extensive list of espresso and matcha based drinks. I quite enjoyed my lightly sweetened matcha and matcha marble cake.

The decor was fun and they curated quite the on-theme book collection. DJ playing music on the frame TV was a nice touch.

Seating is very limited with just two tables that can comfortably fit 4.“

“The best coffee shop on island, hands down. Coffee and food are both incredible, staff is sweet and helpful on a consistent basis. The shop is consistently clean, pastries are made in house and they have a variety of housemade syrups and seasonal flavors that rotate with the seasons and holidays. Love this shop so much!!“

“Best coffee, best toast. Best experience!“

“No Joke. Best coffee blend I've ever tasted.“

“The coffee here is delicious! They used Honolulu Coffee beans, which they also sell. Coffee was great. Wildflower honey latte was lightly sweet and had a good taste. Drip coffee had a delightful aroma too and was well made.

2 tables and benches for seating. As well as 2 counter height seats with an outside view of the street.

Connected to the Hi Climb gym. A spot where a lot of gym goers grab snacks and coffee. Kitchen can get backed up as there was only one person taking orders, making food and coffee! If you go here on a weekend morning, be prepared to be patient for your order - we waited about 20 minutes, which is understandable as they take a lot of orders and drip coffee takes time!“

“YUMMMMM!! This coffee shop is not only beautiful, but they have a large, unique menu with lots of local Hawaiian flavors. I left with two of their syrups to bring home. You can sub matcha for espresso in any drink for no upcharge, which I thought was cool. Street parking available.“

“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!“

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“

“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 coffee shop - I love the views!“

“Get the Spicy Masala Chai tea.... yum 😋.“

“Cute little coffee shop/bar combo in the lobby of Queen Kapiʻolani Hotel. The employee was super helpful with answering questions we had about their menu and adjusting sweetness levels of our drinks. We ordered an iced mango peach tea (unsweetened) and a breezy brown sugar latte (half sweetness). Both drinks were delicious! They also had plenty of food options as well. I would stop by again even if I wasn't staying at the hotel.“

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

“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!!“

“My friend and I went to Rise the other week for a late lunch, and I'm so glad we did. I really appreciated the low-key and comfortable vibe of the space. The upstairs adds a lot of extra room and every table is positioned to offer privacy. I don't eat Keto all the time, but the chicken and chaffles had a lot of really good flavor and I did not miss the sugar or wheat flour. It also felt really good to know that I was eating something healthy, without having to worry about the ingredients. Our food and drinks were prepared promptly, and I thought everyone there was friendly. The real winner for me was the mac nut latte. It is gritty (with chopped macadamia nuts) which surprised me at first, but I liked it because it added to the nutty flavor. I find myself still thinking about it. I like my coffee strong, and I love the flavor of mac nuts so this is a winner in my book. I work nearby, and am glad Rise is there because there aren't many good coffee houses in the area in my opinion - let alone one that offers fresh and healthy meal choices. I'm grateful Rise is in Kaimuki!“

“coffee is what should be tried here...☕️ oh, and the cookie 🍪“

“Cutest coffee shop in Kailua… such a good flat white, great vibes, sweet baristas, and their merch is always on point!

The owner, Courtney, created an incredible place for the community to come together here in our special little town.“

“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Daily Whisk = matcha heaven ☁️💚 I LOVE this place. Free parking right in front (though limited), otherwise you’ll need to pay to park at the lot across the street. Their matcha is chefs kiss 🤌🏽 - high quality, perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and they keep it authentic with the bamboo whisk. Their hojicha is also amazing and one of my favs to get on island! Lots of milk options (oat, almond, soy, etc.), some seating but no wifi. Definitely one of my favorite matcha spots in Honolulu for a clean, true-to-flavor cup!“

“The miso salmon entree was tasty and not overly salty. My guest's juicy hamburger sandwich was cooked to perfection and juicy. Our waiter was excellent! Friendly and attentive, he was perfection! Didn't realize the restaurant will soon be closed for renovation. I will return!“

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

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

“Maleko has the best coffee in all of Hawaii and the Man is a gifted baker too! I highly recommend the pineapple coconut muffins.“

“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.“

“Got a super fast and delicious iced coffee with a splash of oat milk here for $4.25ish, pre-tip. Love the dark and full bodied flavor of their coffee beans :) Great spot to grab a quick drink. Will try their Thai coffee blends next time, and would be fun to see matcha on the menu one day!“

“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. ❤️??“

“The Best Rockstar place on Oahu!“

“Great coffee! Great service!“

“This cute coffee shop is tucked away on a side street next to the main avenue. Excellent coffee, delicious banana bread, and super nice baristas! Most importantly, no line ◡̈ On a side note, there is also a location at SALT that has delicious ricotta toast.“

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

“Love this place! I love coming by with my toddler and chilling for a bit in the cute chairs outside. Great drinks and quick snacks. Kailua Coco(a) is a must try. The staff is really kind and always chats with my 4 year old and make him feel welcome.“

“Greatest little coffee shop in Waikiki!Great crew, delicious food, wonderful coffee and of course Jen’s homemade breads and muffins!!“
