    Aunty holding 2 Acai bowls; beef sausage bento & mango smoothie with oat milk!
    Kenneth K.

    Our Yelp Elite extraordinaire friend Nadine brought us here to try Aunty Gigi's Acai bowl! She had this enticing beef sausage bento staring us in our faces that my wife could not pass up! Those broccoli pieces did it! Therefore we purchased it! There were even some furikake present on the rice. Yummy goodness. While Aunty Gigi prepared Nadine's mango smoothie we waited patiently & chitchatted with Korean Aunty Gigi. She's a realtor per Nadine. So nice & friendly & personable. Perfect for that real estate profession. We tried a taste of the mango smoothie & it was DELICIOUS!!!Made with oat milk! Wow the flavors were fabulous & so creamy! Also we could taste the mango chunks. Aunty Gigi diligently & freshly prepared our Acai bowls as well. Wow it was well worth the wait. We lucked out with free open parking though tight at times but this small business is worth coming to. Aunty Gigi is truly a breath of fresh air! Why don't you try her out? Much better than the bitter fruit at Jamba's! Please support this local small business! You truly won't regret it. Also come early for a better selection of bentos too if that's what you're looking for. We just so happened to get her last one for the day & we arrived there early afternoon!

    Avocado + Banana Smoothie

    My friend and I were walking and randomly decided to stop by this cute little cafe on the corner of the street. When we went inside, we were immediately greeted by three super friendly Korean ladies. Aunty got to work making our smoothie using real frozen bananas and avocado. It was creamy and delicious, perfect for a hot summer day. I would definitely come back here again!

    Delicious and fresh Avocado Smoothie! Best one I've had yet on the island! I will definitely be returning to try some of the other food and drink items offered here.

    I just passed in my car and I was like ooh new place. Acai bowls and smoothies and now chicken bento. I had and acai smoothie. Aunty is sooooo nice. She gave me a small snack while I waited for my smoothie and it's nice an cool inside. Next time I'm going to try the BBQ chicken bento. The smoothie was really good. Ill he back.

    Acai bowl (medium size) Normally comes with banana, but I asked for no banana and to sub more strawberries instead.

    This is a very small place, but the two ladies that run it are so friendly and the food is delicious! My go to is the gimbap, but the bentos and acai bowls are also great. Call ahead to order and check what they have for the day.

    This café was right across from our hotel, and after seeing the long line of people waiting, we…read moreknew we had to try it. I can definitely say it's one of the best coffee spots around! What makes this place unique is that you can sample the coffee before deciding which beans you'd like to buy. The tea I ordered was also refreshing and not overpowering--perfect for beating the Hawaii heat. Definitely worth checking out!

    Kona Coffee Purveyors was definitely one of the longest lines we waited in during our Hawaii trip…read more We got there around 7 AM on a Wednesday and still waited about 40 minutes just to order. After ordering, it took another 10-15 minutes for everything to come out, so definitely give yourself some extra time if you're coming here! I got the black sesame latte and it ended up being one of my favorite coffees I had while visiting Hawaii. Super yummy and I loved the black sesame flavor. My boyfriend got the Americano and he really enjoyed his too. I also tried the black sesame kouign-amann and it was SO good. I was in a huge rush by the time we got everything, so I didn't even get a picture of all our stuff before we left. They do have online ordering, but when I checked, it looked like it was only available for pastries and bags of coffee, not the drinks. The wait is definitely a lot, but I thought it was worth trying at least once! I'd come prepared for the line, especially in the morning.

We didn't try it until the very end of our vacation, but we noticed it was always busy--and now we know why! Everything we had was delicious, especially the smoothies. Their menu also includes waffles, sandwiches, paninis, hot and iced coffee, açaí bowls, Italian sodas, and more, making it a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack. Before you leave, be sure to browse their gift selection. They have a great assortment of Hawaiian coffee and other locally inspired items that are perfect for taking home as souvenirs or gifts. Definitely a must-try while you're in Waikiki!

    This place has been my absolute favorite for good drinks and breakfast food…read more I was staying at the Outrigger Hotel that is attached to this cafe and I went here almost every single day. Food: 5/5 I was able to try several of their brunch items including their Ham & Cheese Croissant, their Turkey Pest Sandwich, and their Traditional Waffle. Almost all of them were a hit! I especially liked their Turkey Pesto. It paired beautifully with their salad. Their breakfast waffle was also light and fluffy and their fruit was fresh. Drinks: 5/5 I tried their many lattes, coffees, smoothies. Their açaí smoothie was not my favorite because it had a lot of unblended seeds. I did love their leans & green smoothie, it had so many fruits and greens in it, and it also tasted so good. Service: 5/5 This place had wonderful service. All of their servers were so kind and they explained their menu so well. The food and drinks came out pretty timely and everything was fresh to order. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is attached to the Outrigger Hotel so they share a cafe area with the pool. It was beautiful to be able to enjoy breakfast by the poolside. It was giving summer vibes outside. Inside their cafe was very tropical with plants everywhere. I would definitely come back here for the food, the drinks, the happy hour, the ambiance, and the service!

    I ended up coming here four times during my work trip which should tell you everything you need to…read moreknow! The Local Latte was hands down my favorite coffee I had on the island. I looked forward to it every morning. I also tried the chia pudding, and wow... it was absolutely to die for. So fresh, flavorful, and the perfect breakfast. Before heading home, I grabbed a few bags of their 100% Kona coffee because I wasn't ready to give it up once my trip was over. The shop has a really nice, clean vibe and is connected to the Moana Surfrider, making it an easy stop whether you're staying there or just walking around Waikiki. It definitely gets busy, especially in the mornings, but the line moves fast and the staff is always friendly and efficient. This was easily one of my favorite coffee spots in Waikiki. Great coffee, delicious food, and consistently excellent service. I'll definitely be making this one of my first stops the next time I'm back in Hawaii!

I wanted the breakfast burrito but unfortunately they weren't able to leave the sausage out as the burritos were premade. I wish they would offer a non-meat breakfast burrito for those of us who don't eat it. Fortunately the spinach quiche was satisfying and quite cheesy ;) though you can't see the ube in the latte, i could definitely taste it. We came around 8:20-25am. As we were eating, we noticed the line was longer and more people were waiting for their orders. Service was friendly and employee was patient with my questions. Worth checking out if in the area!

    A cozy corner in the heart of Kaimuki :)…read more I happened to find this place when I was searching for cafes around the area, and it did not disappoint. Honey Matcha Latte is my current favorite: just the right balance of matcha, milk and honey :) The vibes are so nice. You'll be greeted by the green green plants (which are actually for sale!), and then grab a drink down the hall. I also like how they have a "Sip & Chill Zone" where no ipads or computer work are allowed, so you can just relax and talk story. This is my favorite spot because I can just do some people watching by the window as I sip my matcha latte. It's a nice place to detach from the hustle even just for a while.

The environment they've curated in here is so unique, it's something you can't really replicate or find anywhere else on the island. The photos show a couple of our favorites. Lee Jae loves the Sakura Matcha and I'm all about the Lavender Matcha. Their syrups are house made too, which is a huge plus and something I always look for in a cafe. I do wish they did have more milk options though! I love soy milk but always have to opt in for regular milk. Other than that everything still tastes amazing! The service is top tier every time, and they even bring the drinks right to you. The staff is so welcoming and they really know their plants, so if you ever need help or you're hunting for something specific they've got you. If you're in town or visiting, it's definitely worth stopping by for a drink or plant!
