    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 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

    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!

Parking is super easy with the complimentary structure, and the café is located on the bottom floor alongside other vendors. One thing I immediately appreciated was how well air-conditioned the entire market is--it's nice and cool, which makes sitting and eating there really comfortable. The cashier recommended the turkey pesto croissant, but suggested swapping it onto ciabatta since it's one of her favorites--and I'm so glad I trusted her. It was phenomenal. The flavors were balanced, the bread held everything together perfectly, and it felt like a step above your typical sandwich. I also had what looked like a simple salad, but the vinaigrette and candied pistachios really elevated it and made it feel more thoughtful than expected. The staff across the board were friendly and welcoming, and there's plenty of seating--whether inside the café or out in the open market area. Honestly, the value surprised me the most. I paid under $13 for everything, which is hard to beat for the quality. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

    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.

Atmosphere: Compact, but still has that classic Lanikai Juice feel. Seating is scarce, but we scored the seat jackpot with the window-facing bar (perfect for a trio). Drinks, snacks, and merch line the walls, while cup and bowl sizes are clearly displayed at the register - no guesswork needed. Drinks: I went with the Lanikai Splash, while my friend and her boyfriend ordered the... "I-don't-remember" smoothies. Mine hit the spot, and judging by their nods of approval, theirs did too. Service: Smooth, our drinks were blended and in hand within 5-10 minutes. Price: Roughly $30 total, generously covered by my friend's boyfriend. Would I return? Parched and passing by? Sure!
