    Chicken something
    Bharbara A.

    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!!

    Breakfast Date with my princess with good Broccoli Chowder and a Turkey Pesto Panini. It's chilly today so I needed my Golden Moon Milk hot.

    Cute little nook! I'm usually avoiding gluten for preference but today was my cheat day tasting their Turkey Pesto Panini and Broccoli Chowder. Friendly staff and service.

    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.

    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 noticed this coffee shop in December and made a mental note to check it out if I was in the Liliha area, which I had the opportunity to visit last week. Conversations is a tiny, quaint coffee shop on the corner of Liliha, a cute space that holds a coffee bar and an area with indoor tables and outdoor tables with chairs to drink your coffee or tea, read (they have wifi) or carry conversations if you're having a date, study time or friends outing. The place has character and an artsy with a relaxing vibe. It is far from the minimalist aesthetics that some coffee shops go for these days, which I appreciate that these type of coffee shops like Conversations because they are bring back the aesthetics of relaxing and just enjoying the surroundings that will inspire your creativity as well as pacing yourself instead of rushing (if that makes any sense). Think of the vibe of how Starbucks used to be before incorporating minimalist decor (imo the concept is edgy now). As local, small coffee shops are bringing back the aesthetics of friendly, warm, and relaxing as you drink your mocha and eating a peanut butter and banana toast, I realize that I want coffee shops that look different from the mainstream coffee shop, and Conversations excelled in that department. Price: Reasonable Customer Service: Friendly and helpful Recommend: Highly

    Adorable and unique Hello Kitty bouquet.

    Café alert! Stumbled upon Conversations Café Liliha (right off Liliha Street) and I'm obsessed already. They've got convenient parking (always a major win), and the café itself is such a cozy little spot. Alongside their drinks, they sell goodies like plush dolls, books, bags, and even have a sale rack full of super cute clothes at 50% off already discounted prices (tags still on ). ROXY brands to name one I personally found and purchased. I tried their brown sugar cinnamon latte, delishhh and the Mrs. Crabbitz Sandwich Deluxe loaded with bacon (thick not that paper thin type lol), lettuce, and unagi sauce. Everything was so tasty! Last but not least, my barista who took my order and made my sandwich was so approachable and easy to talk to. Had a nice first convo with only being there for a few minutes. always a huge plus with personable service. Already planning my next visit in a few days because one round just wasn't enough.

    Drinks- espresso was so SMOOTH no bitter aftertaste and not too sweet (depending how much syrup you add) and drink size is huge (da same size as my face) Service- baristas were so nice and patient Ambiance- fun trinkets and lil Knick knacks inside da shop

    Some cute stuff they got on sale especially during the holidays!

    I've been told about this place by people since Covid and never found an excuse to make a trip out there boy was that a mistake. Place has ample parking on the side and a nice seating area for people to cruise here and look at all the cool stuff they got on sale and display. Was really cool and I can see how people hang out here and get hooked! I got their large gingerbread latte with oatmilk and whipped cream as well as a peach scone. For the price $13 and change while a tad pricy was all worth it. The large was massive and despite the ice had tons of coffee and it all tasted quite good mixed well and not too overpowering on either end. The scone especially was huge and a welcome change from the cakey dry scones I buy from the market. This one was flaky soft and actually had taste of peach that wasn't jerky like it was quite nice! Everything came out fast less than 5 min despite 2 people being in front of me and only 2 people manning the ship. I really loved this place and while I can't splurge like this daily it's a nice treat from the gas station/nespresso morning special! Conversations has easily become arguably my top spot for coffee on the island and puts my rotation on notice and I'm sure yours too!!!

    Custom Chaga Chai with Almond milk and Oat Latte
    Tanyce W.

    Located in Liliha next to Creations By You. First time trying this Cute cafe since we previously met the owner Wendy. They have nice indoor & outdoor seating with seasonal decor & cute accessories for sale. Food: We ordered the Small Açaí Bowl, Breakfast Bagel with Turkey. Includes egg cheese & bacon. I removed the bacon. Drinks: I ordered a Large Oat Latte - Hot I saw that they have ChagaChinno, but I prefer No Caffeine so I requested a custom iced ChagaChai with Almond Milk. The girls were nice enough to make it. Thanks Kitty & Robin! I'm an Almond Chai Latte connoisseur - always trying different versions of it. :) Both drinks were Excellent!! Acai Bowl was really fresh and lovely presentation. Flavors were great!! I requested Breakfast Bagel with Turkey, no bacon. Good quality Bagel. All was delish! We enjoyed talking story and meeting the family. Def a must-try if you're in the Liliha area! Mahalo Wendy & staff! Many blessings!

    Reuben L.

    What a great place for conversations. It's very comforting and a relaxing atmosphere. The owner Wendy and her staff was very friendly and courteous. The acai was very tasty with fresh fruits. The bagel was filling and flavorful. We chatted for awhile and she gave us a brief history of her company. We also had a hot oat latte and ice chaga chai with almond milk. Both were very flavorful as well. Great experience and can't wait to try other items on our next visit.

The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between lively and cozy, with a steady buzz that still feels welcoming. The staff were kind and patient despite the rush, and even with a packed crowd, my drink was ready in under five minutes. Hapa Honey Matcha Latte: 5/5 Mixed with their local artisan honey lillikoi syrup, the Hapa Honey Matcha latte is topped with macadamia nut pineapple cold foam and drizzled generously with local hawaiian honey. The lilikoi and pineapple beautifully balanced the earthiness of the matcha with a bright tropical twist while the macadamia elevated the flavor profile with a creamy nuttiness. Every sip was perfectly sweet without overpowering the matcha's natural umami depth. I also loved the little "Aloha" written in honey on top of the foam - such a cute and thoughtful touch from the baristas! Poʻai absolutely lives up to the buzz with their creative island-inspired drinks! From the thoughtfully crafted flavors to the quick service even during a rush, everything felt intentional and well-executed. This cafe is the kind of spot that makes for a memorable last stop on a trip and is definitely my go-to matcha spot in Oahu. Highly recommend showing some love to this local gem!

    This is for my catering experience with Tea at 1024…read more For Galentines, me and my girlfriends decided to take the experience to us. The ordering process was easy thanks to their amazing staff. Their guidance from online ordering to communication over the phone and text, they made our event successful and memorable. There was 5 of us , with a moderate appetite. So, We went with two orders of the "Catering - Sandwiches TO GO" and one order of the "Catering - Scones TO GO". Then our choice of their teas: 1oz Sakura Cherry Rose and 1oz of their Cookies and Cream, which is great with milk and sugar btw. 1oz =at least 12 pours of the tea. If you want 2oz =24 pours of tea. The sandwiches were also delicious, a cute tiny bite of flavor. Which to this day I wish I ordered more since I'm more of a savory girlie. You can choose the sandwiches from their catering or seasonal menu and it comes in 4 pieces. We ordered: Sandwich flavors 24 pieces 1 Sweet egg salad (4) 1 Smoked Salmon with Dill Creme (4) 1 Nutella & Strawberry (4) 1 roasted veggies & hummus (4) 1 Crab & Cheese (4) 1 Cucumber & Avocado (4) My personal Favorites were the Smoked Salmon with Dill Crème and Roasted veggies & Hummus. The scones only available flavors were vanilla bean & earl grey and it also comes with potted cream and jam packed in a to-go cup. If you decide to host a little tea party with your girlfriends, I highly recommend trying them out.

Unlike coffee shops, where food and drinks are purchased a la carte, tea service here is a set menu of tea, salad, sandwiches, scones and sweets.

She is not a big eater, so the amount of food was more than enough for her. Normally, she can be a picky eater, but maybe the uniqueness and specialness of the place and occasion encouraged her to be open-minded to new things -- and she genuinely enjoyed everything she tried. Staff was especially welcoming and friendly. Located in Chinatown (Nuuanu street) so parking can be a hassle. If you're lucky, you might find street parking.
