This is my regular spot. The espresso is so well done. The cold brew drinks are unique and perfectly balanced sweetness, flavor, and strength. The baked goods are amazing. If you're looking for a quick coffee fix, Kopi does things right not fast. Come for an experience not for a quick hit. read more

Nice experience at Cafe Kapi I really enjoyed the environment at Cafe Kapi -- it's a pleasant, welcoming space with a great atmosphere that makes you want to stay and relax. The only downside was that the coffee came out burnt on two occasions, which was a bit disappointing. Hopefully that's just an off day, because the setting itself is lovely and worth a visit. read more

I must be staying under a lava rock! I did not know about this place cool cafe, that has its own parking lot in the back! I needed something to eat and caffeine, and searching on Yelp, I found them. I didn't know you could enter from the back, but a friendly good morning when I came in. They have a lot to choose from! I got a plain croissant and a red velvet croissant. This was really unique in flavor and texture! Definitely something to consider if you stop in. I also ordered Jeanne's Fav, vanilla, lavender latte, iced. This was really good! Great way to start my morning! There's some chairs and coffee tables in the back parking lot which would be great to hang out in, especially if it's raining. The interior seating is eclectic and I loved the music playing. Great place to come to! Mahalo Cafe Kopi! read more

LOVED the pastries we got (didn't get the chance to take a picture of all) but so good! Their drinks weren't that great tho :-( Ambiance: cute little coffee shops with ample space to sit. Coffee: mochamacnut -- was alright, very strong but giving any mocha nor macnut flavor, maybe a pinch. Matcha: cocoa Matcha, I was alright but I don't recommend, maybe for a beginner matcha drinker. I love my matcha creamy and on the sweeter side. Matcha felt chalky.. Service: was fast, went on a rainy day tho! Parking: street parking in the front if you're lucky read more

Stopped in for a few pastries to go. We shared sweet and savory. Talented pastry chef, not too sweet and this is coming from someone who doesn't typically eat pastries, these were worth trying...excellent texture and flavor I'd love to try the Laksa one day! Mahalo Cafe Kopi! read more

Cafe Kopi - Yes, there's a bite in the spinach pastry, so good! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

This was a cute breakfast/coffee spot. There is a large amount of coffee sections to choose from and the pastry I selected had a good balance of sweet and refreshing The person helping us pick out choices was very patient and informative. The staff was very kind It was a little crowded so be cautious if you're with multiple people. It can be hard to find seating read more

Sweet little cafe with BIG heart! I've attended a few evening performances in their backlot, the last one being a fundraiser for the Aloha Animal Sanctuary! The owners are wonderful hosts, and enthusiastic in helping with fundraising. They serve a few Singaporean items such as coffee and tea, laksa on the weekends, but no sling hehehe. Check out their menu and social calendar! read more

Cute little coffee shop in Kailua There's parking in the back They have some things you can buy and they also have some cute pastries that looks so delicious but I didn't get any so I can't really say anything about that. But I did get the coffee and I did enjoy my coffee. It was a vanilla lavender one. It was a bit pricey but also really good. The coffee flavor was nice. Next time I'm in the area I'll get a pastry and I definitely want to try their homemade chai read more

The food was amazing. They make their own croissants and they were buttery, flakey, and tasted so good! I ordered the Jeanne's Fav latte with oat milk and it was also great! The shop is a trendy and a great place to meet friends, work/study or just read a book. The service was quick and efficient. read more

A friend and I ordered the Kopi (Singaporean coffee with condensed milk) and Kopi Peng (Singaporean coffee with condensed milk and evaporated milk) and both were good - the coffee is really smooth, with a creamy, lightly sweetened flavor. And the staff was so nice! I couldn't decide which coffee to get, so they let me sample! It was really tasty but could be a liiiittle stronger, I think. The seating area is spacious, and there is window seating and outdoor seating, too. There is a gender neutral bathroom, which was clean, but heads up that it is rather small and not an ADA bathroom. They have free wifi and I think it would be a pretty good place to do some work or chat with friends, since it's not too loud inside. They also sell some art, stickers, cards, etc. by local artists, and their own merch. I think I'll come back to try the laksa! read more

Greeted with a smile as soon as we walked in by the team. Love the cozy feel neighborhood cafe. I was torn between a sweet or savory pastry, chose the savory of the spinach & egg croissant toasted! And the flat white coffee sealed with a heart. This place has a variety of pastries that I will come back for and it was sooooo delish! Wish my stomach can hold all of it! read more

Cafe Kopi - Spinach and egg croissant toasted & flat white coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

International-inspired cafe with a menu featuring baked goods and coffee, plus live entertainment. I got the Matcha Cocoa Latte Iced, Samosa (Vegan - Housemade with carrots, peas, potatoes, tumeric, and spices), Chinese Dumplings (Housemade pork, cabbage, chives, ginger and garlic), and Spam Musubi (Spam, teriyaki sauce, calrose rice with furikake and mirin vinegar). The Matcha Cocoa Latte was so good, I got one Togo! The place is so cute with the best music! The service is so friendly, helpful, and they make you feel like you are with family. Love it! read more

Maybe one of the best matcha lattes I've had in Kailua--and I've tried many! You can already tell from the picture that the matcha Cafe Kopi uses is high quality (not Costco, or a grassy yellow). Each drink is prepared by hand and the matcha is hand whisked as well. Their matcha latte comes automatically sweetened with agave and is the perfect amount of sweetness. My bf also really liked his iced (coffee) latte. I love Cafe Kopi's atmosphere (there's lots of tables), drinks and they always have cool local art pieces/stickers for sale. I have yet to try their food/pastries but I was definitely eyeing those out on my last visit. Will be back! read more

Cafe Kopi - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

My first time stopping here and my mom loved the Lilikoi cheesecake. I had their pan au chocolat croissant. it was delicious. There so many other things I'd like to try so I have to come back. Instead of stopping here cuz I was in Kailua, I need to go Kailua for Cafe Kopi. I realized I give reviews on Yelp and I have yet to explore Kailua eatery's. I'd love to come in the weekend to try their Laksa. I've heard great things about their weekend specials. read more

The pastry option is very good. The Barista's were very nice and helpful. The overall experience is a double thumbs up.

The food was AMAZING. All the pastries look like they were made by Gordon Ramsey. The service was good too, the chef said that he starts baking at 1-2 AM! And everything was so comforting. Perfect for relaxing, doing work/homework, and also after a good run. It was amazing! read more

Cute spot to hang out or get work done. Friendly service. Good selection of pastries and coffee. Mac nut latte was a bit sweet even with supposedly half sweetness, but the cappuccino was solid. I love that dogs are allowed inside. read more

Too pricey for not great coffee or service. For ambiance, no ambiance. Weird decor- no feminine touch. You can see they try, just lack the cuteness/ warmth/ welcoming vibe that so many coffee shops have. The owner seemed rude- yelling at someone that was working there. read more

They have come into their own as a community engaged, all around solid neighborhood bakery / cafe that has a few but very good Singapore dishes honoring the owner's heritage. Requisite American cafe coffee drinks, check. A great selection of house baked goods including a very good croissant and a fruit "Danish" made of buttery layered croissant dough and fresh fruits. The real standouts, Singapore's kaya (coconut spread) toast, kopi (seasoned pulled coffee) and laksa. 1. Kaya toast - well made, coconut with pandan notes flavored kaya. It is spread between crust removed, toasted, buttered bread. Simplicity at its best. One thing, where's the coddled egg, soy sauce and white pepper? 2. Kopi - STRONG. Good roasted flavor with black butter notes. No bitterness or acrid finish. Simply frothed or with evaporated milk. Either way, a caffeinated boost equal to the similar number of shots of espresso. 3. Laksa - Fancy by Singapore standards but between the flavorful and fragrant rempah (dried shrimp / spice paste), good shrimp stock made creamy by slightly curdled coconut milk, tender noodles, and properly cooked shrimp and fried bean curd, a solid example of laksa made for Western taste. The addition of the soft boiled egg adds substance. Friendly service. The staff is constantly working and when there is downtime, cleaning. Indoor / outdoor seating with both street parking and a private lot in back. Satisfying. read more

Cafe Kopi brings me back to my days living in Singapore when I preferred to hang out at homey cafes with mismatched furnitures, friendly staff and good coffee. The vibe is relaxed and the paintings on the wall feature local artists. I was excited to see real Kopi on the menu. Variations include Kopi O, Kopi Gao, Kopi C, etc. I wanted to order the Kopi but was informed by the nice lady that they ran out of the base brew so they couldn't make it. (It was only 930am on a Tuesday) so I inquired if I can just order the iced Singaporean coffee instead. She said she can make that since it doesn't use the "base brew" ... so I wasn't really sure what I got, maybe just a latte but the milk didn't have a thick feel to it so I was ok with that. My husband was raving about the overnight oats with fresh berries the day before so that's what he ordered again on his second visit. The barista informed him that they just made those oats that morning so the milk hasn't fully set yet. (let's just call it morning oats then) he said this was ok since he was starving. I appreciate what the cafe is doing but couldn't give more than an average review due to the inconsistent offerings. It's definitely better to support local cafes than go to Starbucks IMO. read more

The vibe of this coffee shop is cool, there's a good amount of seating and they have a good menu + pastries. My iced coffee just didn't hit the spot for me. I was hoping for a smooth sip of goodness, but it fell short and wasn't strong enough. Service was quick and everyone was nice. I'll have to give it another try when I'm in the area again. read more

Nestled in the heart of Kailua town, Cafe Kopi is one of the area's local culinary gems. Inspired by the flavors of Singapore and Asia all with a serene Hawaiian ambiance, this eclectic cafe has much to offer. You'll find coffee and tea beverages, a daily selection of fresh baked goods but it's their weekend special, Singaporean Laksa, that steals the show. My mom and I enjoyed our experience here so much that we visited twice during my trip. The Traditional Singapore Kopi drink is a must-order and features caffeinated Robusta coffee beans, roasted in butter and sugar. This gives it a rich, caramelized flavor that's more aromatic than its Vietnamese version. Enjoy it alongside some Kaya Toast and you have yourself the perfect traditional old school Singaporean breakfast. As for food, everything we had was delicious from the flavor-bomb of a dish, the Singaporean Laksa, to the Spam Musubi Croissant. The latter was a bit pricey for a pastry but upon trying it with its flaky buttery layers of dough combined with the salty, umami-rich seaweed and spam, it was well worth it. The Passion Fruit Tart is also a hit here with its sweet, tangy curd layered upon a buttery shortbread crust and topped with fluffy, toasted merengue. Service was friendly enough and the workers are quick in getting orders out promptly and efficiently. In terms of drink orders, you do have to pay attention to when they call out your order and place it on the counter. read more

Kopi Café was so good! The Thai latte was perfectly balanced and gave me the caffeine fix I needed without being overly sweet. The ube cheesecake was honestly amazing too -- super creamy and flavorful. Cute atmosphere and definitely a spot I'd come back to again! read more

So I was so excited to come here with my friends before we went to get a pedicure. I was so sad when I saw the days pastry selection. They were all over baked and looked so dry. So we all skipped out on the pastries we were looking forward to. However; we did like our drinks. My matcha was smooth and balanced. Service was kind and fast. Cute little coffee shop with fun art and chill beach vibe. I will go back and give another try because I always see others get good things, I just think I may have hit an off day. read more

Cafe Kopi - Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

My Friday date and I ventured outside of urban Honolulu this morning upon recommendation of one of my patients. She raved about her friends' coffee shop meets Singapore fusion restaurant stop as a place we had to try on one of our "coffee safaris." There's a parking lot in the back, which we know is SO key in kailua town. We opted to sit indoors and enjoy their AC and watch the kitchen create delicious smells while we enjoyed our drinks and snacks. Naturally, my grandfather opted for black coffee which in his words "is so strong!" And I chose the Kopi coffee on ice, perfect for the hot day. We also got a snackie of Chinese dumplings, which were individually fried to perfection and came with a delicious sweet chili dipping sauce. The food came out a bit slowly, but the kitchen was busy and we were in no rush, and got to enjoy our drinks while making conversation over the local artwork on their walls. The Singapore laksa came highly recommended by my patient, but we arrived a little too early, and was still brewing. We were told it's only available Fridays-Sundays. Oh well, just means we'll have to come back again!! read more

I love this cute cafe! Great space to get a change of scenery when I work from home. The pastries are amazing. I love the breakfast sandwich on croissant and the chocolate croissant. The Chinese dumplings are also great. Just fyi, a few weeks ago I was told their pastry chef only works Mondays and Fridays during the week, so sadly the pastry case was pretty empty on Tues/Wed/Thurs. I would definitely aim for going on Monday and/or Friday, or during the weekend to get their best selection. read more

Legit coffee and pastries! Favorites were cold brew and sunrise espresso. All the pastries were great too! read more

I follow a local artist named @candicedoodles on IG and I saw that she started selling some of her merch at Cafe Kopi. I live near Kailua, so I was surprised to find out that Cafe Kopi is Singaporean owned and has been in Kailua for a number of years. How did I not know about this place??! I kind of jokingly pride myself in being 1/4 Singaporean Chinese. I seek out Singaporean things mostly because I miss traveling to Singapore twice a year with my grandparents. Singapore is nostalgic for me. I decided to come in asap to get a coffee and do some work. It's a nice little coffee shop with about 8 tables and a splattering of chairs. They offer cute pastries and coffee and tea. They also sell artwork from artists like Candicedoodles. I ordered the Teh Tarik with condensed milk. It had a strong tea flavor and I love condense milk, so it was perfect. I was thinking about getting kaya toast, but I didn't see it offered anywhere by the register (like on a menu)...oh well, next time! I will definitely need to come back on a Friday, Sat or Sunday to get Laksa. And I am thinking about making this my go to coffee shop in Kailua. read more

Coffee and dessert in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii... Cafe Kopi is a mellow shop with a hipster vibe and super cheerful, efficient service. Customers were quietly working on their laptops when I arrived around noon on a Thursday. I knew that there was a free parking lot in the back because I had been here before, but I couldn't remember what I had. It must have been good because I wanted to return. I needed a coffee before the weekly mahjong session nearby. The Mocha Macnut was perfect because it was creamy, sweet, and pepped me up! I was also going to get the Overnight Oat Parfait, but I saw the Lemon Meringue tart in the display case. It's challenging to get a whole pie because not many people like Lemon Meringue... that's why the tart size is great! The crust was fabulously buttery and on the thin side (instead of thick shortbread style). The Meringue was fluffy sweet and balanced the tartness of the lemon filling... ahh! Happiness! This cafe is also known for its laska. I'm not a spicy-food person, but you might like it. I want to return for the dumplings, musubi, and other Kopi (Southeast Asian coffee) flavors! read more

Why have i not stepped into this place a lot sooner?! Anyways, after checking out the reviews, pictures of the pastries , drink, and their famous Laksa, we finally stepped in! What really got us to step foot into the door was reviews of the Laksa! OHH EMM GEE!!! Talk about hype!! It was soo delicious! Will definitely be back for more!! We also tried one of the many amazing pastry, and that too did not disappoint, it wasn't too sweet, which is perfect, and their Kopi drink with condensed milk, AHHHMAAAZING! Cafe Kopi, thank you for being here, you just gained 2 more fans!! read more

Have had Cafe Kopi on my radar ever since hearing the rumor that they have the best laksa on the island. After trying it I can confidently say, THE RUMORS ARE TRUE! What surprised me was all of the other goodness found inside the doors (and just outside) of Cafe Kopi! My partner-in-crime (let's just call her my enabler) and I came on a Sunday after calling to confirm. Laksa service starts at 10am so yep, we were there at 10:05 hahah (didn't want them to run out of targeted dish on us... which rumor has it...they do sell out so, get there early!). You go to the cashier stand, right next to the baked goods display to order then sit down. Believe me, those croissants are amazing! We ordered our two laksa (with upgraded rice noodles instead of wheat) and a box of croissants to go. The taste of the laksa broth is so rich and deep, every spoonful is heavenly. Quality ingredients include nicely sized and firm shrimp, fried tofu, the perfectly cooked soft boiled egg (still slightly runny) and noodles of choice. Portion is smaller than other places, and the price is smaller too ...I prefer it that way! Leaves room for finishing meal with a latte and/or half, or a whole croissant. Laksa 10 out of 10. Nailed it! The croissants were originally bought to share later. After trying the corn/kimchee croissant after laksa, no one else saw the rest as they went straight into fridge for later personal consumption. Hahah. Corn/kimchee croissant - heaven on earth. It's quite the rave in Korea and now I know why! 6 out of 10. Mushroom cheese croissant - heated in air fryer the next day to the perfect melted crispy treat. Sooo delicious, like a bowl of French onion soup without the broth. 8 out of 10 ! Chocolate croissant - it's big, its light and airy, its crispy and flaky. And it's the best I've had, comparing it to all of our 5 star 5 diamond properties as well as the ones I've had in Europe. Giving it a 10 out of 10. Can't wait to try the ham & cheese croissant and almond croissant still patiently waiting in fridge. Love my air fryer! Enjoyed their matcha oatmilk latte and a taste of their chai latte. Also top notch. Ernest, the co-owner of Cafe Kopi (with wife Jeanne) stopped by to chat. He must have been amused at how much we enjoyed the food/drink there. Such a nice fellow he sat with us for a few minutes and told us about the upcoming art reveal as well as live music events scheduled. He pointed out the upgraded sidewalk seating ... Ernest mentioned his expert baker who used to have his own bakery before moving to Cafe Kopi. Convenient store parking in the back is accessed on the immediate right of the Cafe. There are a plentiful 17 spaces. There is as also lots of outdoor seating off of the parking lot, in the front of the store, and inside as well. Unisex bathroom available for customers. Looking forward to returning for the delicious croissants and matcha or coffee, for the fun events, and...if it it's a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday after 10am, for the most memorable Singaporean laksa! I know I know, I am rambling... Can you tell, I'm a fan ! read more
