Mocha espresso
Leila H.

I went looking for some coffee since I am in the Waikiki area, and I found this place. I was thinking of getting some lattes, but they didn't have it, so I got a mocha espresso instead. The cashier asked me if I lived here so I could get a kamaaina rate, which was 10% off But this is a good place to have breakfast and you can study because to is a lot of seating. You can also sit outside, but since I have something to do and I have to go. The drink itself was good. I can taste the chocolate and the espresso.

Very cute location about a block from the beach in this cute shopping area. Enjoyed the seating area and the espresso smoothie; service was good and prompt. Would be back again for a quick coffee!

3/15/25- on a Saturday. This is my third review on this place and today is very quite. I would say this is about 2:45pm and it's chill vibe... nothing too loud and it's nice. This time I went with my favorite again- the croissant. And I went with a iced Matcha Latte... and because I said I wanted it for here it got made in a really awesome tiki glass cup... it's different then the typical plastic cup they have and I think I like the "stay in cup" then the plastic cup. My favorite server wasn't here today... perhaps Sebastian doesn't work on Saturdays... The server that made my wonderful order is "Art" yes that's his name. Easy to remember cause I'm into Art. Lol hahahaha. I will suggest that if your in the area again that low time is 2pm... I'm getting the hang of being here of lately now. Let hope they never leave the DFS area. On Royal Hawaiian Ave. Highly like the vibe here I always feel good here

Ambience is perfect for remote work or a friendly meeting. The treats and food are delicious and the matcha (not a coffee drinker anymore) is very tasty. But my favorite thing is that you can bring your well behaved dog. They are dog friendly inside and outside! They even offer a dog water bowl. there's plenty of outdoor seating with umbrellas to relax and enjoy your treats and drink. Check it out!

Cozy hidden little gem hidden away from tourist bustle. The ambiance is so cozy and laid back chill. You order first to go or drink there, which they charge 12.75 percent, I believe... but that's considered tip if you think about it. Service was great! Coffee was good also! Overall, a great place to come early in the morning and chill.

Bean and Town has very good coffee. I'm not so much a coffee drinker, but the coffee here is very good. Good service and staff are very kind , service is fast too. They have very unique decor inside too.

Coffee flight
Marissa D.

One of the best coffee shops I tried while in Waikiki. I tried their coffee flight which came with three pour overs of locally grown coffees. My boyfriend got a strawberry yogurt smoothie which was satisfying. They have very nice outside patio that you may go sit at after you order and they will the order out to you. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and coffee options. Wish we had more time to have stopped in again.

Great friendly service, very spacious and relaxing space and ambiance. I had a regular drip coffee which is of medium roast, very smooth & silky, with some floral notes.

Bean About Town is located in the rear of the DFS, and they serve a pretty decent menu of sandwiches, pastries, and beverages. We came here to get a caffeine fix and had the Caffe Latte (espresso and steamed milk) and a Matcha Latte (matcha green tea with steamed milk). Since we just had a big lunch, we were unable to try out their sandwiches. Staff were kind and friendly, and there's plenty of seats where you can just sit and relax or do some work. +located in the rear of DFS +friendly service +plenty of seating

Coffee here is very good and the best thing is that there aren't any crazy long lines. The location is in a building off the Main Street. Had the latte and the flat white which were both good. They offer a wide variety of pour over options from beans around the world. Had the geisha on one of my visits. They use a machine that does a pour over using a kalita wave. Pretty good but nothing special. Food options are available but I didn't try any of the food.

I stopped by this cafe twice for a matcha fix! I ordered two matcha lattes with oat milk: one with lavender syrup and the other with vanilla syrup. The quality of the beverages was very nice; the matcha didn't taste chalky. The only thing I don't like is the amount of syrup added. The syrups were overpowering that I didn't get much of that matcha taste I was striving for :( Service and the atmosphere of the place is nice however! Friendly people and very clean cafe. I recommend this place to those who want to get their work done in a great ambiance. I wouldn't go back to get a matcha latte, but I would go to try out their pastries :)

Flat white + ham and cheese croissant
Tara K.

After attempting to go to another really popular coffee shop that had an insanely long line and then another, I decided to try Bean About Town. I was happy to find only one other person in line and was starving by then because the other shops that hardly had anyone in there didn't look too appealing. Their coffees on their Yelp page looked delicious which drew me in. The guy at the counter was friendly and made some helpful suggestions. I liked how big the place was and didn't feel claustrophobic. It was a lot quieter than some of the other places I've seen and cool inside which was nice after walking around for a couple miles in the heat. I ordered a flat white and a ham & cheese croissant. The flat white was perfect and the ham & cheese croissant came warmed and had a nice flaky crust. It didn't feel heavy and loved that the cheese was melted. SO good, I crushed it! He also recommended the apple croissant so I'll have to come back next time and try that!

We've been coming here every weekend and it's definitely one of our favorite sports . Great coffee, fast and friendly service . So sad that they're closing this location !

Loved the circular aesthetic

Well, this may not be a fancy pastry shop, they have a solid assortment of pastries, and their…read moreMalasadas are some of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend stopping in and grabbing their coconut peanut butter or macadamia nut peanut butter. They also have several other variations, including chocolate. They also offer local honey. Their peanut butter is highly sought after back in the states. So if you're here grab a combo and give it a try, you just might find yourself ordering some online once you've given it a try.

This might be one of the only places in Waikiki open at 4 AM which is perfect if you've just arrived the night before from the East Coast. The inside of the shop feels homey. They have a display case full of pastries along with additional baked goods set out nearby. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a coconut latte and then ordered a blueberry malasada while my father went with a custard-filled one. At Maleko, the malasadas are pre-made but not filled until you order which I think is a smart move. I first tried my blueberry malasada and thought it was good. The dough was light and fluffy and the filling had a great flavor. As for my coffee, I have to agree with other reviews that the syrup made it overly sweet. I still drank it, but I definitely would have preferred something less sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again for the malasadas. As for the coffee, I would probably pass unless you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side.
