An Iced Caramel Macchiato! =)
Jill F.

@fortunefoodfinds: "Need coffee, ESPRESSO-LY in the morning! An Iced Caramel Macchiato from Café KYRA outside of Don Quijote. A strong n' great way, to kickstart your day!" Staff: friendly Interior: n/a Exterior: coffee stand Wait time: 5 mins Parking: lot Overall comments: the iced caramel macchiato was strong tasting, which I like! Even after a few hrs (took me long to drink), it didn't get watered down so they really fill your cup with coffee n' not just full of ice. I usually order their caramel frappe, which is good too!

Mocha and caramel Frappuccino with whipped cream

The best coffee in Honolulu! I've visited nearly every day of my trip because it's that good. The owner makes you feel right at home, the vibes are amazing, and the drinks are always perfect!

Large is large!

Came straight here after a rather disastrous order at a coffee shop in Ala Moana. I remembered this place had good coffee and I recollected perfectly. Super friendly guy making drinks, nice gal at the register, amazing oat milk cappuccino... and a large is less expensive than other coffee shops around town. What's not to love? I should just come straight here if I need coffee and am in the area. So worth it.

Something cool brewing here... You can find Café Kyra at the foot of Don Quijote's front door and this little red shack with yellow and red awning is a statement along with huge signs picturing the freshly made drinks weather it's coffee, espressos, shakes, smoothies and teas and with the huge choices of add ons from whip cream, syrups, milk alternatives and even yup tapioca you can make any drink into a boba dream treat. The gentleman behind this kiosk is delightful and friendly...too friendly that he was chatting with the guest for a seriously long time as I was obviously standing right behind her starting to look annoyed knowing this he continued to chat and it was just random conversation nothing in relating to her order which I was ready to give up the guest was finally done. I ordered Green Tea Smoothie which had all the flavors and wasn't too sweet...tasted okay but the long wait probably ruined my mood for it and really was done after a few sips. There may be a fine line to interrupt a conversation when someone is waiting may differ from others but if it's nothing to do with the order and/or is a personal friend there is a moment to just not let the other person wait unnecessarily.

This is located right outside of Don Quijote. They only sell drinks, mostly smoothies and coffee. The girl working there told me that they could add boba to any drink. We picked up two drinks today. We got the coconut smoothie with boba and mango smoothie with boba. They were both really good. I asked if the mango smoothie was made from powder or real fruit. She responded that it was made from mango puree. I always prefer real fruit over powder. However, if powder is all they have I'll take it.

Coffee was great, loved the variety. Rico was amazing! He is such a kind soul, it was so lovely to chat with him while me made us out to order coffees. Highly recommend, looking forward to next time!

Great place to grab a quick drink after shopping at Don Quijote Kaheka. Very friendly service.

Smoothies and coffee drinks in Honolulu, Hawaii... "Cafe" might not be the best word to describe this vendor. They don't serve food nor snacks if you're looking for some... Located at the entrance to Don Quijote on Kaheka Street, everyone has to pass by this little kiosk. I don't know why I've never noticed it before but I went three days in a row... I was encouraged by the Stamp Card - especially because it thanked customers for supporting a small business! On my first visit, the friendly gal told me that the three non-dairy smoothies were mango, strawberry, and peach. I got the Mango Smoothie which was really good and fruity! During my second visit, the gregarious male worker said that he could make any smoothie non-dairy by using almond or oat milk. I chose the Taro Smoothie with oat milk. He let me take a whiff of the container of powdered taro. Haha! The nice gal was working when I last visited. I told her that the guy worker made me the Taro Smoothie with a powder. She said that the strawberry, mango, and peach smoothies are made with fruit puree. Ahhh... I got the Strawberry Smoothie and the Iced Cafe Mocha. Yum! I wanted to try a coffee drink. The chocolate syrup takes the bitterness out of the coffee! Yay! I really like this small business. Please support because they're hard workers and are very good to their customers. They listen, give great tips, helpful information, pleasant service, and quality beverages!

Mixed fruit.

I'm so pleased to find how friendly and helpful the young man that was working at the counter was to my family. He was very respectful and offering suggestions of what the order. My daughter Kyra was totally captivated by the fact that this place is named the same way she spells her name. I like the fact that the juices and the smoothies and things that come out of here are all made from fresh fruit and fruit juices, and not sugar that's been refined. These beverages are so refreshing on a hot day when you just want to make your tongue happy by tasting all the fruits. You can go from tropical to just standard fruit in the same drink if you wish. My favorite was asking for the mixed fruit blend and I enjoyed every 2nd of it. As you can see in my picture there isn't much left of it by the time I remembered to take a photo because I was eager to drink it.

Quick service smoothie/drink shop located outside of Don Quijote. Stopped by to enjoy their Thai Tea. Reasonable prices and friendly service. Definitely will be back to try more.

Honeydew Smoothie
Justin L.

One day at Don Quote I noticed that pearls stopped selling boba drinks. I was not a fan of theirs but then I noticed cafe kyra. There was a single female barista meaning the service was slow but, she was really fast. The honeydew smoothie she made consisted of milk, ice and honeydew flavoring blended together. Overall perfect texture on the drink, not watery and not ice chunks. The flavor was also perfect and boba texture was great! Would come again!

Entrance is right at the front of Don quiote

Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I drove past this familiar logo of HiBlend Health Bar & Cafe and had to stop by because it was in an unfamiliar location. This cafe used to be in the Samsung Plaza on Keeaumoku Street, but now it's on Kaheka Street, near Don Quijote. The address is King Street, but the entrance is on Kaheka Street. The menu is still healthy and has expanded. That's why I got the HI Burger. It was a local shortrib smashed beef patty with Jack cheese, tomato, bacon, and avocado on a brioche bun (from La Tour Bakery), topped with garlic aioli sauce... delicious! All ingredients are locally sourced (when possible)! Service was very friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and polite. Thanks for answering all of my questions! The only obstacle would be the parking. I sat inside (because it was air-conditioned) and I faced my car because I didn't feed the meter... LOL! I ate quickly because I was really hungry... and it was such a tasty, satisfying burger! Note: there are only two counter seats inside, and 12 seats outside on the sidewalk.

I think I may have found my new forever spot…read more This was my first visit, and when I arrived the ordering area was at capacity, so I was standing outside. I noticed a QR code on the door for online ordering, scanned it, grabbed an outdoor table and figured I'd give that a try. I ordered the Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich, the Apple Pecan Salad with balsamic dressing, and a large cold brew. I paid online and sat outside for maybe 15-20 minutes. I never did figure out whether I was supposed to get a notification that my order was ready, so eventually I just went inside to check. Sure enough, it was ready. Easy enough, and everyone I interacted with was incredibly kind. Then I got home and opened everything, and THAT is when I became really impressed. I had included a note with my order that I planned to eat the salad the following day and asked that the wet ingredients be kept separate. They absolutely understood the assignment. Everything was packaged so thoughtfully. The Apple Pecan Salad was beautiful, incredibly fresh and substantial, with the ingredients carefully separated so it would keep. It wasn't some obligatory pile of greens tossed into a container. You could actually see the care that went into making it. The Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich was equally good. Fresh, generously filled and absolutely delicious. I ate half the sandwich and some of the salad and was completely satisfied. Between the two, I can easily get four meals out of what I ordered, which makes the value even better. And the cold brew? Wowzer. Robust and delicious! I think what impressed me most was simply the level of care. A sandwich and a salad aren't complicated foods, but doing simple food really well takes effort. Fresh produce, good ingredients, thoughtful preparation, paying attention to a customer's request, and putting out food that looks every bit as good as it tastes. I felt that in this order. I actually tipped 15% when I ordered because I was thinking, okay, this is basically grab-and-go. After I got home and ate the food, I wished I'd tipped 20%. It genuinely felt good spending my money here. This was visit number one, and they've already set the benchmark. I really hope they stay exactly like this, because what a find. I will absolutely be back.

I love the vibes from this place, vibrant colors and very much sun-kissed energy. I see this business is marked as temp closed -- it is very much open lol.

Super late review -…read more I'm sad. I really wanted to love this place but I just couldn't. I don't want to be that person when this place has an overall rating of 4.5 but this is just my honest opinion. I got the blue dream and yes it was very ascetically pleasing, but it was just too icy. Before coming to this place i read a couple of reviews that also said the same thing and i didn't understand what that meant, but now I do. There are a lot of flavorless, just regular, small shards of ice in the bowl. On top of that, the moment I received my bowl, it was already borderline melted. So that got me thinking, how can it be melted and icy at the same time? The only explanation that I can think of is just ice additive/fillers. It's not pure cold acai or whatever is in the bowl you choose, but there's a mixture of ice in it too. Yes I understand, it's Waikiki, everything is more expensive, but the added topping prices on top of the already expensive bowl prices just don't make sense. You want a beautiful looking bowl with a lot of different toppings, yet some toppings can go up to 1 dollar PER topping. I don't know if I've just been spoiled by a couple places in SoCal, but at those places they have unlimited toppings and those bowls are the best that there is. I'm not bringing any bias from other locations, but this is just an honest review based on my experience today.

Such a great option to go to with kids too! My son loved the mango strawberry and I enjoyed the rose lychee. Thankfully, it was not too flowery but 75% was a little sweet for me. I'll try 25-50% next time. Service is not always the friendliest but fast. We placed our own order and the staff just helped when the credit card reader wasn't working. We like the seating inside. It feels clean and bright. It always seems crowded, though, so be prepared to possibly take it to go or find seating outside.

My favorite spot. I get the mango sticky rice dessert or the mango sticky rice drink (man-coco…read moresticky smoothie-o) . If i'm on the go the drink, if I eat there then the dessert. They will do takeout on the dessert, however it does not travel well. The ice cream melts, the frozen coconut cream thing melts and it becomes a big mess. They have an app and a loyalty program - use it and you can get some free stuff. The timing in the app isn't always right because sometimes it says ready in 20 minutes but it's in 5 and sometimes it's in like 30. I don't think they adjust the timing to reflect how busy they are inside; I wish they did. Small spot to sit down and eat there if you want and some outdoor tables. However the outdoor tables are considered takeout, so if you order desserts, it won't come on the plates, it will be boxed, and sometimes a mess when the ice cream parts melt and make the paper soggy. No bathrooms inside. They are friendly enough but they often feel like they don't really want to be there but they're cordial enough. I will keep coming back for the dessert anyway! They say they close at 9pm but they don't. The told me 8:45pm and if you come at 8:55pm they're basically shut down. Not a fan of this because if you really close at 8:45pm, then change your hours. Otherwise actually stay open til 9pm, which does mean workers have to stay later. In any case, I'm not a fan when there's this mismatch. On the other hand. The Alley says they're open til 9pm, and if you're at the door at 9pm, they'll let you in.
