    Maclattes and Kelly's Banana Bread
    Meadow P.

    We were looking for locally owned Waikīkī coffee, and we're so glad we found it! Cafe Nene is a new business in '26, serving great coffee and pastries (made by local bakers). We went for the iced maclatte, one of their two signature drinks, along with a piece of Kelly's Banana Bread. It was vacation you could eat. The drink was sweet but not too, the banana bread was full of flavor, dense and delicious. Service was friendly and prompt. Out front are two small cafe tables to watch traffic and people go by, or step into the quieter side patio for shared tables and chairs with building residents. Step off the main drag and find your way here for amazing coffee to fuel your relaxation.

    So excited to have found this coffee shop! The location is close to the main area but isn't crowded with tourists. We got the nene golden latte and cocomac latte - both of which were really good. Really enjoyed our experience here and looking forward to coming back next time we are in the area!

    Service is friendly and coffee was tasty! We got the Cocomac latte with oat milk and asked for it to be less sweet. Well balance of coffee/syrup/oatmilk :) Outdoor seating is spacious enough and shaded. Would def come back oh and the barista brought us a little sample of a pastry to our table which was super nice of him! Don't recall what it was but it was tasty and fresh.

    New coffee shop which opened Feb 2026, offering a small menu of delicious coffee drinks. The cold brew was delicious, and at $5 a bit less than competitors in the area. (It seems like they are in the very early stages and plan to expand.)

    Golden latte!

    Great customer service, friend staff, large lanai area, and a great place to relax! Mahalo!

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!
