    Cozy little cafe on the corner of Liliha and Kuakini St. Ample parking in the back and tables outside. I had a savory scone, egg and bacon sandwich and iced ube matcha latte. They were both yummy. Price is a little higher than Starbucks but if you're meeting a friend for breakfast or brunch and you want a meal with better quality it's work the extra money.

    Cute and cozy cafe, selling trendy items and knickknacks. They have some indoor seating but only around 4 chairs. Outside seating is available, but just hope you're in the shade! Got the Snickerdoodle latte: cinnamon, brown sugar, milk, espresso. I got it at 50% sweet but it was still too sweet for me since I like a stronger espresso taste. If you like a milker and sweeter type of coffee, this place is for you! Keep in mind the drinks are on the pricier side as well ($9 for a small). Parking is limited, mostly street parking.

    @fortunefoodfinds: "Can I just say that you're a LATTE fun! An Island Mac Mocha, Coco-Bae Latte, Lychee Lemonade, n' a Kaleidoscope Bagel from CONVERSATIONS CAFÉ. Delicious iced lattes that I loved while my keiki highly enjoyed the lemonade n' colorful eats. A cozy n' whimsical café you can spot right on Liliha Street!" SERVICE: friendly n' sweet. I thought I had ordered a lemonade, but was given an iced tea. They were happy to make the correction. INTERIOR: small, cozy, lots of fun merch for sale. Limited seating. On this visit they were having a BTS event. EXTERIOR: good amount of seating outside, maybe 4 tables WAIT TIME: a few mins to order, followed by the items came out staggered. In total around 20-25 mins. PARKING: free lot on the side shared with Creations By You, limited stalls OVERALL COMMENTS: always see this spot while driving on Liliha St n' have been curious on who n' what they were. Finally made a visit n' I'm so glad that I did. Both iced lattes were so good, I especially liked the Ube one. Sweet, bold, n' yuMmmy. Drink prices are nice for 24oz. Got a lychee lemonade n' the colorful bagel for my kids. All of them couldn't wait to dig in. The lemonade was so refreshing. I definitely want to come back to try more of their signature iced lattes n' drinks!

    Located in Liliha on the main road and opens at 8:00. Cute little cafe, with indoor and outdoor seating available. Really loved the interior and how there was a little rack of clothes for sale too. Great place to come with friends or a coffee hangout and have "conversations" lol :) The drinks were delicious. Wasn't too milky, so I was still able to taste the coffee. The service was great too! All in all would come again!

    Conversations Coffee has everything you could ask for from a cafe--free parking, WiFi and a restroom. Not only is this business welcoming, but their coffee is delicious too! The staff is very sweet and caring. They sell the cutest goodies. And, the coffee drinks are of high quality, fairly priced and yummy! Highly recommend supporting this local business! Tip: Ask for a stamp card!

    What a cute little cafe! Came across this spot while looking for a cute coffee shop that's not a "mega brand" and this is exactly what I was looking for. It was quite busy so we sat outside but I do want to come back to enjoy the charming interior and the vibe. I would take this any day over any other big restaurants or big coffee shops.

    Love this cafe. It's located in Kalihi with a parking lot to the left of the cafe. They have a good vibe with their set up. Christian based. The coffee & tea choices are yummy. We tried the lavender ones. The snacks vary in types. We tried many and were all good. They have all types of knickknacks. They also have flowers!! Wendy is so creative. And the prices are very reasonable... And she puts her special touch into it. Service is friendly and efficient. They treat you like family.

    Long time I don't eat a great sandwich. It makes me wanna cry hahah if you like chicken and a lil spicy go for it!!

    First things first. This will be the cutest coffee shop you will ever step in because they are Jesus based and they have scriptures around the shop. They also have fresh flowers and toys for children that they sell. They actually have a lot of stuff in their shop. The vibe is really on point because you really could just sit in there with your coffee in silence and all your problems will go away, no joke! lol The service is super good. They are friendly and really make you feel at home. I got their coco-joy and it was coconut syrup with coconut cold foam (I got whip cream instead though lol) and chocolate drizzle. I also added an extra shot but I wanted it a little stronger. For 4 shots I didn't really taste coffee taste but I did love how strong the coconut taste was! Can't wait to go back and try their other options of coffee and food!

    My drink was wonderful as well as my breakfast sandwich. Cute shop with parking (that id what makes it even better). They have lots of gifts including many of the popular blind boxes. Lots of christian vibes along with some MAGA gear for purchase so if that will turn you off then maybe it's not the place for you.

I'd been curious about trying their matcha offerings, so I was excited. We came on a holiday morning, and there wasn't anyone inside. The cafe is cute and vibey! Love how pet-friendly it is with the polaroids--I'd definitely bring my pup here. There's also a decent amount of seating to hang out or work at. Service was fine. I ordered at the register, and she made my drink immediately. I was intrigued by their Haupia Matcha Latte. I love all things Haupia, so it seemed like the perfect match. I got the Haupia Matcha Latte with Oat Milk, and it was superb. I loved how creamy it was, how the sweetness of the haupia shone, but the earthiness of the matcha was still there. I'd definitely recommend this drink and am curious about their others. Hello Again is a nice cafe addition to Chinatown. With all the cafes in the area, it's worth a visit if you're a matcha lover like me. Find the cafe off Nuuanu Ave., unassuming on the outside but nicely sized once you go in!

They have small tables and cubicle-style setups with charging ports, so it's easy to settle in, sip, and work if you want. I came mainly to unwind and try a few of their matcha drinks. The banana bread latte is one I personally like, and the haupia matcha has a nice coconut kick. The ube matcha latte was just okay--the matcha overpowered the ube and the flavor kind of drifted. Not sure if the powder was a bit heavy that day or if the water temperature played a role, but I wouldn't order that one again. There are still other flavors I haven't tried, plus milk alternatives like oat milk available. A fun touch is the cameras they place on the tables so you can snap photos of your drink, yourself, friends, or whatever. Just know they may post some of the pics on their social media from time to time--it's a cute way to bring the community together. Hours are short, so check their socials before heading over. Overall, I love the aesthetic of the café and the matcha is decent for a quick fix. I'd definitely come back.

I don't know if they only prefer locals, but if you're visiting and want a cute local coffee shop, you can skip or try the place next door. I was seated at a table waiting when the barista calls my name because 1 of 3 drinks I ordered was ready. I go up to get it, it's not labeled and he doesn't say what it is. While I'm trying to figure it out he asks me to step away from the counter. Mind you, I was seated, he called me up for part of my order, AND didn't tell me what the drink he called my name for was. He had a flow and wanted some space and I don't want to stand at the counter so it was no big deal. Then while I am waiting of to the side for the other beverages, he tells a regular customer that they are out of cold brew and asks if he would like an americano (after he just handed me a cold brew) so either I got the last cold brew on a Friday at 10am or they played me and gave me an americano. Those two things together made me feel like it wasn't a welcome space for people who weren't regulars.

The tables are usually taken so I just take my drink to go. I ordered a strawberry matcha drink on my first visit and a French Toast latte on my second visit. The second time I went, they didn't know how to make my drink so the girl had to read the ingredients that were listed on their own menu posted on the counter for customers. Maybe hardly anyone orders it or she was new and learning? It did take a while for me to get my coffee. The waiting area is quite small so there wasn't much room for me to go anywhere. Overall, the drinks have been good with a variety of seasonal drinks and specials as well. I'll probably return for my coffee fix as it seems to be one of the few coffee shops in the area open on Sundays. Happy Drinking!

They offer some interesting savory pastries, including an onion roll, which is a light roll with pieces of onion and mayonnaise, some with hot dog or sausage incorporated into the roll, and some strange (to me) rolls with corn and tuna. They sometimes offer blueberry cream cheese scones ... These are delicious, but I haven't seen them offered in a while. My favorites include the onion roll and the chicken curry doughnut.
