I love trying new coffee places and I had to stop here! I asked the barista what they recommended and they told me the activated charcoal latte! Without hesitation, I said, yes! Sounds intimidating at first, but they add a vanilla syrup that's made in house and it was delicious. There are a couple of tables out front, but by the pool there are couches, benches and more tables to sit at. read more

Arvo at the Surfjack - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The drink quality was a 4.5/5, I came twice during my stay in Waikiki and tried the charcoal latte and lilikoi matcha which were both very good. One issue I had with this place is that one day I tried to go they didn't open on time. I came back later that day and they still hadn't opened. Another time I went around 10 minutes before closing and they had closed early which was disappointing. I recommend going mid-morning to hopefully avoid the same issue. There are two small tables outside to sit at but I'd recommend taking it to go (to the beach)! read more

Arvo at the Surfjack - Lilikoi matcha latte with cream top - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Cute little shop with the sweetest worker on 2/4/26 at 7 am. Unfortunately a much more limited menu than the other location which is my fault I didn't realize. Canceled my Lyft with a fee to walk here just to find that out haha and had to reorder one. But that's just the way my trip is going. Fortunately employee was so sweet and apologetic even though it wasn't anywhere near her fault. They basically have coffee and bagels, not the avocado toast and ombré lemonade I'm looking for. Just be aware but adorable shop especially if you just like coffee or are staying nearby. Cute pool view. Not a lot of seating. read more

Loved finding out this location was only a block away from my hotel! Much closer than the SALT location. This one was in the Surf Jack hotel. A small cafe but there are seats around the cute pool. Menu is small. Quick service style. I ordered a strawberry matcha was yummy and I drank it pretty fast, I was trying to savor it. I enjoyed my drink by the pool and just took in the moment. I love Oahu and I never want to leave! read more

Arvo at the Surfjack - instagram: @jlr.eats - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great matcha, but zero customer service. No good morning, no how are you, no what can I get you -- just vibes of indifference. Luckily the matcha is good enough to make up for it. read more

Arvo at the Surfjack - Tastes good just meh service. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Service was pretty mid. Typical younger - unengaged gals too busy chatting amongst themselves. However the drinks were yummy, so can't complain. Vibes in the hotel were nice and the discount helped despite it being pretty slow. read more

Arvo at the Surfjack - Fruity pebbles matcha, and salted maple late - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Cute little coffee spot within a hotel. The barista was nice, and we got a hot matcha latte & a strawberry matcha latte w/ oat milk. The matcha was sludge-y and grainy, I couldn't really taste the strawberry either. If u see the attached photo, it was super frothy as well. The owner (I didn't know til she told us afterwards) for whatever reason was outside and asked how we liked our drinks and I was honest. She offered to remake / refund, which I appreciated but strange that she was hovering outside. I appreciate how nice her offer was, but if I am to pay 8$ for a drink I expect it to be worth 8, and not need a remake. I would give this spot another shot, but since I'm on vacation that won't be possible. I wish them luck, the reviews looked great, hopefully I just had a one off experience. read more

Arvo at the Surfjack - Strawberry matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

First time at this Arvo location. I usually go to the one in the SALT building when I'm here on vacation. This one was so cute! Very small off to the side of Surf jack. It was quiet when we got there so no waiting in line. The strawberry matcha was decent, tasted a bit powdery. Iced coffee was good. Came to around $11, there is a small discount if you pay cash. Server was good and friendly. Keep in mind this location doesn't serve food here like the other location. read more

I come here a little too often.....but it's one of my favorite places! Coffee and matcha are great :) strawberry matcha is my favorites and it's not too sweet. Staff is always smiley and sweet (another bonus to coming here). The vibe is unique and welcoming read more

Arvo at the Surfjack - Strawberry matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I don't know what all the hype is about because this place is a complete joke. I came in FIRST and got served LAST--how does that even happen?! On top of that, the staff had no clue what I ordered, and after waiting 39 minutes, they still managed to mess up my drink. Seriously, how hard is it to get a simple order right? The customer service was nonexistent, the wait time was ridiculous, and the end result wasn't even worth it. she forgot to add the vanilla to a drink that was just vanilla and espresso. I will never be coming back. If you enjoy wasting your time for an overpriced, incorrect drink, then by all means, go ahead. But for me? Never again! read more

Arvo at the Surfjack - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Small, quaint coffee shop attached to the Surfjack. For such a small hidden shop they put out a great product. Coffee was smooth and not acidic. The latte was perfect balance. I loved the detail they did on the top of both lattes for us. The price was also super reasonable for Waikiki. Plus, if you are staying at the Surfjack you get a discount. Good to know for those staying there. The barista was friendly and made his job look effortless. We will be stopping by again on another morning walk. read more

What a surprise to have found Arvo here in Waikiki! My usual spot for all things brunch spot in Kaka'ako now has a second home here in Waikiki and what a cool spot it is. The shop size is much larger at this location and shadier as well and their retail shop has lots of great items for gifts or to treat yourself. Who knew they silently opened their Waikiki location last year but the secret is out and I'm excited! Congratulations Arvo with all your yummy bites and drink along poolside this will be the place for the grab that cravings though one early as they do close at 2pm. Thank you! read more

Arvo at the Surfjack - the entrance to the shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Stayed at the Surfjack this week (the best boutique hotel in Waikiki ever btw. Hotel guests also get a discount!) and had the pleasure of having the quaint and convenient Arvo in the lobby. I grabbed an iced charcoal infused latte with oat milk before starting my remote work day by the pool and it was the perfect morning pick-me-up to get my caffeine boost in. Service was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and wait was short. This has become my go-to during our trip! I'll try a new flavor next time... read more

Staying at SurfJack and wanted to try this shop before an activity. I ordered a cold brew with no ice. Unfortunately there is no indication on the menu of small and large sizes and they don't ask if you don't tell them. On top of that they only fill the small cup half way if you don't want ice. $6.50 not including tip for about 4 ounces of cold brew coffee. read more

Good coffee! The Surfjack Hotel and Swim Club has this quaint little coffee stop called Banks Journal layered inside the Arvo surf shop where they sell the "Wish You Were Here" pool/Beach towels. Stop in! read more

Newest Arvo location in hnl. Located at the front base of the surf jack hotel. I will say this is more expensive than the OG location @ the salt (but that's to be expected). I also prefer the other location more because of the seating and overall vibes of the place. Drink quality is all pleasantly good. Hope they open up more locations eventually ! The lavender iced oat matcha is my go to. read more

The food and drinks were spectacular! I myself enjoyed their cappuccinos and my daughters loved the strawberry matcha drink and charcoal latte. In addition my entire family ADORED the banana bread and my husband was particularly fond of the toasties. The service is also great! We came here everyday during our stay at the Surfjack and were continually greeted with smiles and a welcoming presence. The staff were totally open to answering any questions and even though there were only two working each day, there was never a long line and our quality food was out within five minutes of ordering. The ambiance was lovely too! They had a small seating area with a large umbrella to block the sun. The open air provided a very warm and comfortable environment. Although this place may have seemed small and not like much, my entire family was blown away! It was an absolute must do every morning. 10/5 stars!!!! read more

Accidentally found this cute cafe while I staycationed in Waikiki not realizing it was a sister cafe to Arvo Kakaako. Personable and friendly service makes me choose Arvo over Starbucks. Best of all, it was the best matcha latte I've ever tasted! read more

They were very friendly and coffee was good! I got the dirty chai latte, it was a little too strong on the spice level but the girl took the drink back and modified it a little and happy to say it was delish read more

Great espresso!! Better coffee than some of the cafes on main kuhio stretch.. nice shop in back as well!

A long time customer, and a lifetime friend to all who have worked and will work at this coffee shop. But perhaps the true magic of this coffee shop lies not just in its unparalleled beverages or idyllic setting, but in the spirit of aloha that infuses every interaction. Here, strangers become ohana, united by their shared love for the simple pleasures of island life and the unspoken promise of paradise found in a humble cup of coffee. This, dear friend, is not just a coffee shop--it is a sanctuary, a celebration, and a testament to the enduring allure of Waikiki. It is home. read more
