When I visit a new coffee shop, I always make sure there's adequate parking, seating, WiFi (if I'm gonna do work), and a bathroom. Bluetree has become one of my top coffee shops in town for checking all of these boxes! There's parking in their structure (scan QR code in the cafe to register your license plate #), plenty of seating inside (upstairs/downstairs), and WiFi if you plan on doing work. My go-to drink as of recently has been their Kulolo Crunch Latte. I also loved their Coconut Cloud Matcha -- they use Wai Koko coconut water! For the most part, people in the shop are doing work and being productive so it's not too overstimulating like many coffee shops I've been to. If you're looking for just a chill place to grab a coffee or matcha and lock in, I'd recommend checking out Bluetree in Kaka'ako! read more

I finally got the time to check out this place after I heard about a kulolo crunch latte. Anything kulolo ima need to try it out! Parking: depends on the day & time you go but they do have a pay parking garage right across the street or if you get lucky with street parking but you also have to pay. Service: when I walked in it looked just like a mainland coffee shops I've been too. Pretty cool & clean inside. They do have an upstairs sitting. So of course I got the "KULOLO CRUNCH LATTE" but sad to say ima have to give this a 4/10. It just tasted like a regular coffee with crunch. I really tried hard to get that taste of the kulolo but I didn't. I also let my mom & daughter try & they didn't taste any kulolo. read more

I recently visited Blue Tree Cafe in Kakaʻako and had mixed feelings about my experience. When I walked in, there was one employee working on drinks. I could see she was busy, so I waited patiently. However, I wasn't greeted or acknowledged with something simple like, "I'll be right with you." After a few minutes, she was ready to take my order, but the interaction felt a bit awkward. She initially just stared at me without saying anything before eventually saying "hi." While taking my order, she also didn't ask what size drink I wanted. After a few more minutes, my drink was finished and placed on the counter without any verbal acknowledgment. The overall customer service felt lacking and not very welcoming. As for the drink itself, I had been excited to try the Kulolo Crunch Latte, but since I've been on a matcha kick lately, I decided to order the Kulolo Crunch Matcha instead. The drink was ok overall. It wasn't overly sweet, which many people will appreciate, and the dominant flavors were coconut and macadamia nut. The matcha flavor was fairly mild and didn't stand out as much as I expected. While it wasn't my favorite matcha drink I've had, it was still good. One thing I did really like was the ambiance. The cafe has a clean, modern feel and is spread across two floors, which gives it plenty of seating. It seems like a great place to study, work remotely, or just relax with a drink. The space felt comfortable and inviting, and I could see myself spending time there. Overall, the service left a lot to be desired, but the drink was decent and the atmosphere was enjoyable. I'd be willing to give Blue Tree Cafe another chance and return in the future to try some of their other menu items. read more

Bluetree Cafe - Kaka'ako - Kulolo Crunch Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Super cute little coffee shop in Kaka'ako! Great spot to come by with your laptop and do some work on their tables upstairs, or just meet up with a friend and chat on their outdoor patio area. I tried their sunburnt coconut latte which features their house toasted coconut syrup. I've also tried their earth matcha which also has the same coconut syrup and butterfly tea. The butterfly tea gives it a really cool blue color. A lot of the drinks here have a fun color to it like the blueberry or lavender drinks. You can either park across the street or there is also a parking garage attached. Both are paid parking. They also serve wine and because of that stay open a lot later than traditional coffee spots. read more

Located in Kakaako near the corner of Dry Bar. Good spot to read or get work done. Seating out and inside on ground leave and second floor. They have a bathroom. The macadamia cloud latte is a must. I was impressed with the latte. The turkey pesto panini- I'm not gonna order this again. I ate it but it wasn't the best turkey pesto panini I had. It was just ok. They do give a lot of turkey which was a plus. The service was good. Workers were nice and looked like they were working hard. I paid about $21 for my drink and sandwich. read more

Stopped by for a smoothie and to yap with a friend super quick. The smoothing was amazing however I am so picky about texture and it was so gritty so I could not drink it. Just a warning to people with texture sensitivity. But as always the vibes were there, I was there 20 min before closing and they never made me feel rushed or an inconvenience. I love going to blue tree solely for just how kind everyone is and how clean it is inside. read more

My current go-to study spot. Great amount of seating since there's two floors. Upstairs gets a little chilly. Free wifi and multiple outlets! Also there are 3 free parking stalls on the building which is nice! Blueberry matcha latte is my fave. Sometimes it's hit or miss, but if the blueberry part is not too chunky it's soooo good. They also have a bunch of yummy food options! Student discount for everything except matcha! Great service! read more

Vibey cafe with outdoor & indoor seating. There's additional seating upstairs too. Both the Bluetree Classic Latte & Purple Cloud Latte was good. I do think the Bluetree Latte is on the lighter tasting side, not the best choice if you like a sweet & bold latte. Free parking (scan code & select customer). read more

I went here for a coffee break and it is pretty aesthetic. It is located in a nice outdoor complex with a variety of stores and restaurants and street art. I ordered the Bluetree classic latte which is a latte with butterfly pea tea, and it was a bit sweet and pricy but the drink is aesthetic. This is the drink that is more unique to this place, compared to the standard latte and matcha that you'll find in most other coffee spots. read more

Bluetree Cafe - Kaka'ako - Bluetree Classic Latte - IG @bougiefoodieboi - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Calm and decently spacious cafe atmosphere! I ordered a club sandwich and a strawberry matcha. Sandwich was huge and pretty good!! But the matcha unfortunately was bad. They're so skimpy with the matcha that it just tasted like milk. I could tell before I even mixed it, just based on the color and ratio. My friend got a blueberry matcha latte and also said hers just tasted like milk and a LOT of blueberry. They had a lot of ceiling fans and they were all on, as well as ac, so if you get cold easily, avoid the second floor especially. Do not get matcha here. It is not good. Service was good, though she gave me two sandwiches when I ordered one (I only took mine). Free parking validation that you scan when you walk in at the counter! read more

10/07/25 Blue Tree.. Lavender cloud Latte. First of all let me say.. it's been a long WHILE! Since I been back here and I apologize that I didn't submit a review for the salmon toast I had here... it was bought by a co-worker and I forgot to write the review for that one BUT... Today 10/07/25 I have visited again. Well, it's my third time for food/ drink and only my second visit... more like two years in the making... I'll admit the menu has gotten a face lift and this item- "LAVENDER CLOUD LATTE" oh what a delight... I'm a fan of Lavender and this drink containing: house lavender, lavender vanilla cold foam, espresso. So delish.. smooth and very nice. I recall it the same from my previous visit. And I like the setup. It still keeps that inviting feel. Nostalgic environment with any cafe vibe.. you know- the coffee smell, people locked into their open portable laptops and products of organic coffee- Bean/ grounded/ Medium, lights, and menus near the bar... where one can place n order with the person behind the facing counters simple and nothing fancy because to keep you there options should be visible. I love the vibe around the cafe it's not loud, people Are burrowed into their laptops and it's easy to waste 2hrs for a sit down. There are about 3 signs that say to give courtesy 2hrs only for staying in. My Lavender cloud latte is so smooth. The espresso- I feel is perfect not over baring. It's quite a sweet factor with iced coffee drinks when it seems fancy, it can be over powered high in sweetness/ sugar. I personally feel this drink has a perfect pair of espresso to lavender. It's very important that I not leave out the fact that Blue Tree's Lavender sugar or sweetener lavender... is in House made!! Let me say that again -- the Lavender syrup or sweetness used by Blue Tree Kaka'ako is made in house. This makes things pretty exceptional when ingredients are made in house... The staff is every accommodating... I'll say that the girl offering her knowledge on the drink I choose is a plus! Thank you Blue tree Cafe for a wonderful iced Lavender cloud Latte. I'll be back to try a different drink. And I may just get the same things... I love Lavender. read more

I stopped in here with my friend after she recommended this spot because they have plenty of seating and air-conditioning! Being pregnant air-conditioning is huge for me and I wanted to be able to order some food because I'm always hungry. I ordered a Matcha latte and an açai bowl and I highly customized both items and the workers were more than happy to accommodate my request and I was so happy. The atmosphere was calm and quiet while still being a pretty busy afternoon. We were able to chat for a while and really enjoy ourselves. It's the perfect spot to catch up with a friend and get some food and a coffee. I'll definitely be back! read more

3.5 stars for a super cute cafe with a great variety of drinks, snacks, and even wine. I came for the strawberry matcha because I heard they make their own strawberry and blueberry syrups. But I couldn't resist the einspanner which is a creamy whipped drink that is hard to find. 3 stars because the matcha did not taste especially high quality. I couldn't finish the drink. I would come back to give some of their other menu items a try! read more

What a gem! Wonderful stop for a healthy snack, lunch, fresh juices, coffee, smoothies, teas, and more. Great for vegans and vegetarians! I got the earth matcha and my bf got the dark cloud latte, which I tried - everything was really wonderful. Take your treats to go or enjoy your drinks outside or inside - inside there is an upstairs where many people were working and downstairs which was more of a social area. Everything is so open, inviting, and beautifully decorated. There's a parking garage with designated spots for Bluetree. Very convenient! read more

Found this place on Yelp because I've never seen it before while driving in kakaako. Such a cute aesthetic place that has coffee AND wine. Wow! My two faves lol the place is very spacious and they also have a second floor if you want to hang out. The service is very friendly and nice. I got their sunburnt coconut latte. A little watered down but I like how I still tasted the coconut. I really want to try their Bluetree classic latte. Looks super cool. They also have food and smoothies too! Super cute place to hang out and enjoy your drinks. read more

I'm giving this place four stars instead of five mostly because the menu is dramatically smaller than the last time I was here. Used to be able to get a little bit more on the snack side instead of just drinks. However, the drinks are really good. I usually come in here for a latteAnd sometimes butterfly Matcha latte, which is unlike anything I've had before. The drinks do take a little bit of time to come out, but that's OK because it's worth a wait and buy a little bit of time I mean maybe like five minutes. It's a really nice and quiet space if you need a drink to sit and do some work. There's really great seating upstairs, which is usually not crowded. Sometimes it's a little too quiet that I'm scared to talk loud because I don't want to disturb other people inside. The staff is really nice and friendly and the menu is a lot smaller than I remember it, but it's still worth a stop. read more

Second location in Kakaako right next to 1938 Indochine. They have free parking between those two restaurants. The restaurant is nice for studying and hang out with friends. There is a first and second floor. Nice decor. We shared acai bowl, turkey pesto wrap, chai latte, and hojicha latte. Good amount of food for two of us. The acai bowl really good with almond butter on top. Drinks were really good. Sandwich was made fresh, hot and yummy. Love the salad on the side. It's a nice and quiet place to hang out. read more

Well, when I came back on the next visit after my initial review, they had closed. I was sad because it was easy to get to, unlike their other location. I needed coffee and I cruised by 9Bar and they were closed, and leaving the area, I saw that they were open again! The interior has changed a bit and it looks so warm and inviting. They also serve wine which I will have to try next time. Looking over their coffee menu, I saw the Dark Cloud latte which is made with black sesame seeds. One of my favorites was at that "other place," but now, I will only come here for the Dark Cloud. In fact, came here one more time before my flight. I text Janey to tell her about this place, which she never went to, and she came that day for lunch. She sat upstairs and just loved the relaxing vibe. They also have tables in front. Definitely worth coming to! Mahalo Bluetree! So glad you reopened! read more

Can't really say anything bad about this coffee shop. Located in the heart of Kaka'ako across the stress of SALT (ewa side). The prices are great. The quality and taste of their drinks are amazing. I was told all their specialty drinks are popular. I opted for the Lavender Cloud Latte and it was great. I think I'll try one of their matcha drinks next time. Smoke seating inside and out. I see a lot of people gather here for meetings, etc. It's not that big inside (if you compare to Starbucks), but the outdoor seating is great. If you're an avid coffee drinker, this place is worth checking out. read more

Two locations in town. For this particular location, there's parking in their building? Though wasn't too sure, so we parked at Salt for less than $10. This blueberry matcha latte is everything! Housemade syrup with just the right amount of matcha. I need this beverage sold by the gallon-full. Their savory items are yummy as well. A few were already sold out by the time we got there at 11am, but we made do with what was available. The place looks dog-friendly, but quite busy, so if you're looking for quiet place to work, you may want to go upstairs or outside where there's more seating. read more

Loved my latte and my overall experience at Bluetree Cafe. The decor is very inviting. Can't wait to come back

Friendly service and nice atmosphere. Seats upstairs, downstairs and outside. Limited food menu but good enough for a quick bite. Lots of medical students studying there and the space is small so you'll run into someone you know. Maybe not a place for private convo but casual convo is prolly ok. Pick up drinks at the counter but they will bring your food to your table. Unclear if you should bus your own plates after finishing but I just brought it back to the counter. Overall another good option for the area although I guess they've been there for a while? I've had the hangry morning which was good, small amount of avo, $16 and the breakfast burrito which was ok about $16. Pricy but what isn't lately. Next time I'll try an açaí bowl. read more

My first impression of Bluetree was that it's a cute spot that would be great for studying or getting some work done. I ordered the Earth Matcha Latte with soy milk. While it had hints of matcha, butterfly pea tea, and soy, the flavor just wasn't strong enough for my taste. I probably wouldn't order it again. That said, the staff was super nice and friendly, which made the visit pleasant overall. read more

Bluetree Cafe - Kaka'ako - Earth Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

What a cute and cheerful coffee shop nestled in the heart of Kaka'ako on Keawe Street. The address says Ala Moana Boulevard because the building side sits on that street. From Ala Moana you will walk past 1938 Indochine, then Qing Mu, and the entrance to the parking lot before you get to Blue Tree Cafe. As soon as you enter the shop you will be greeted by a high vaulted ceiling and friendly counter persons. Seating is limited downstairs and outside with more seating upstairs. The Cafe has some nice coffee drinks by day and alcoholic beverages after 12noon. The food menu offerings also are appealing. Today amongst a few of us we tried the avocado toast as well as the mochi Belgium waffle. Get the waffle! A few are already plotting their next visit just for that waffle. Parking, shared with the two restaurants, is free before 1938 Indochine opens. After, the parking lot becomes Valet only. There is wifi and a generous scattering of outlets to plug into. What a nice addition to the neighborhood. Looking forward to returning! read more

Recommend trying this place out if you're coffee or matcha lover and looking for somewhere to get some work done! I came briefly to try out their drinks and ended up also getting food. I ordered the Purple Cloud Latte as I'm a big fan of Ube and the Bluetree Croissanwich. My order came out pretty quickly and I don't know if it's standard but they gave me a bag to put my food in. The drink was very ube-y which I loved and the food was delicious! There were so many option for drinks that I'll definitely be back to try more of the drinks. There is a parking garage nearby and here you can park for free and then get some work done. It is not shared with the restaurants in SALT across the street. I didn't stay to eat there but I saw several people in there getting some work done. read more

Breakfast in Honolulu, Hawaii... Why am I the Duchess at Bluetree Cafe in Kaka'ako? Because I used to get bottles of freshly made juice here! There was a program where loyal customers would be rewarded. I can't remember the exact details... However, I found my photo from over 4 years ago! I had purchased 3 bottles of juice and received a special bag! I'm not making it up! Anyway, Bluetree Cafe in Kaka'ako (there's a Kapiolani Boulevard location, too) is open again! Yay! Perhaps they were closed during the pandemic, but they're back... and so is the free covered parking behind the shop! Thank you! I got a strawberry matcha Latte with Oat Milk - it was pretty, refreshing, and not too sweet! I joined the new Aoki Group Rewards Program... you can, too! Just download the app! Check out the cool decor! Do you know why bicycles are important to this cafe? Because Kevin and Steve's grandfather would travel 4 miles on a bicycle to get sugar in Tokyo for his customers at his coffee shop in Nihonbashi, Japan! read more

A cute little coffee shop that I surely will revisit. I came here to do some work and wasn't disappointed! + Drink: Strawberry matcha latte was a 7/10. There was too much ice, and the matcha flavor was a bit grassy but strong and the strawberry was good. + Space: I absolutely adore the space. It's a cute coffee shop with a good amount of seatings. I came Wednesday morning and there was a good amount of people. There are plugs, decent wifi, comfortable seats. It was pretty quiet when I was there. + Parking: There's a parking lot next to the coffee shop. It's not on Ala Moana Blvd, but on Keawe St opposite Salt. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience was disappointing. I stopped in while waiting for my Tesla to be serviced and ordered an iced mac nut cloud coffee. Unfortunately, it tasted overwhelmingly like macadamia nut to the point where I couldn't even drink it. I brought it back to the counter and politely explained that I didn't like it and couldn't drink it at all. I asked if I could switch to a Vietnamese coffee instead, but I was charged for a second drink. While I agreed to pay, it was frustrating given the situation. The second drink also seemed off--it was mostly coffee with very little cream and not what I expected. It was drinkable, but still not enjoyable. The burrito was decent, but nothing memorable. Overall, the experience didn't justify a return visit. read more

Freshness in Kaka'ako SALT... Blue tree Cafe has opened its second location in The Collection building and what a stunning layout. Walking in to this loft setting with bougie touch of a chandelier hanging over a large community table is so cool and as I arrived early the kitchen was open yet so it was a sip to get my day started and instantly saw they had a Strawberry Matcha which I had to get with almond milk. Lovely smooth sip with two levels of seating inside and several tables outside as well, they do seem to have parking for the retail guests as well though I was lucky to find street parking right outside. Will definitely be back to try many of their breakfast items as this place looks like to spot to chill with outlet and hook on the counter seating which you know is a plus for me. Thank you! read more

Right in the heart of Kaka'ako across from SALT, the cafe is so inviting when you get inside. The decor and the great music give just the best atmosphere to enjoy with or without work.

New favorite study spot! I'd love to keep this spot a secret, but it's too good not to share. I'm so glad this location reopened so there's another coffee shop studying option in the area. Located in The Collection, there is free parking in the building (for dine-in Bluetree/ Indochine customers). Service and Ambience: This cafe is beautifully decorated with chandeliers, cute bookcases and bikes. The staff were all very friendly. If you order food, they'll even take it up if you're seated upstairs. The main level has a large coworking table, 2-3 tables, and lots of countertop seating. The upstairs loft is my fav spot as it has ~6 tables and many countertop seats. They offer free Wi-Fi and have many built-in outlets on the floor and walls, which is a huge plus! Their restroom, located on the 1st floor was super clean. Their music playlist was also nicely curated and perfect for a working or a casual hangout environment. , Price $-$$: Price for coffee/ drinks were comparable to other coffee shops in the area ~$5-8. Their food prices also seem reasonably priced, especially for their portions. Pastries were $2-$6, and breakfast offerings were ~$10-20. I didn't order food this visit, but my neighboring table did, and the portions were quite big. Food and Drinks: I ordered a Blue Tree classic latte and a blueberry cream cheese scone. I loved their Bluetree classic latte, with hints of espresso, nutmeg and butterfly pea tea. The blueberry cream cheese scone was a good snack to go along with my late. Overall, I'm thrilled to have found another cute cafe in town. It's the perfect little spot to grab a bite, coffee, and get some work done. I can't wait to come back to try all their other drinks and food. read more

Unfortunately, our experience here was disappointing. The coffee tasted burnt, and even after getting a new batch, it was still undrinkable. We really wanted to like this place, but the customer service made it uncomfortable , the employees seemed to have a weird attitudes, and when we mentioned "hot Vietnamese coffee," one of them said they'd never heard of it, which surprised us since it's such a common drink. We decided to take the coffee ice just to try it "the Blue Tree way," and not make a big problem, but the roast was still too burnt to enjoy. We ended up leaving our coffees for someone in need instead, hoping they could at least make some use of them. read more
