Such a cute shop!! All the goodies are delicious and the staff is sweet as pie. I got the cocobae and it was soooooo good wat a great combo ube and coconut. The mrs. crabbitz was great! Nice zing from sourdough and sweetness from the crab mix! Great mix. There's also a local baker who's products are sold here. She makes the absolute best seasonal baked goods/treats. A_K.Bakes is her name and IG as well! So far I've tried her cream cheese brownie which was the perfect ratio of cream cheese and brownie. Far from dry! I've also had her most recent special which is the girls day strawberry shortcake cup. Buggah is MEAN!! It's the perfect mix of cake, whipped cream, and strawberry. I love that the cake was not dry, strawberries were fresh and not borderline sour like some places. I'd definitely recommend all of these!! read more

I just adore this cozy, quaint family own cafe. Delicious mixes of drinks, salads, sandwiches, bake goods...and everything Ono! Decorated with an array of gift items to choose from. It's the place to be in Liliha and a favorite of many people, even me and I drive in from Kahalu'u! read more

This is a great place to enjoy some coffee and "talk story" I had just finished a doctor's appointment and decided to have some lunch and a refreshing drink. I ordered Mr Unagi's Salad and an ice coffee drink. The salad was very simple with romaine lettuce, spicy tuna salad, tae gu and unagi sauce. It was so delicious, and you can't go wrong with iced coffee. The baristas are friendly, and the overall service is awesome. The decor of this cafe is so cute with lots of interesting baked goods and gift items. Also fresh leis and while I was there fresh gardenias were delivered. There are a few small tables inside and also outdoor seating. I had some time to just hang out while waiting for my daughter to finish work. It was very relaxing! I also enjoyed meeting the owner, Wendy and enjoyed my conversation with her and Bobby, a marketing person who was there. I loved everything about this cafe and my conversations! read more

Cute spot with 2 tables inside and a few tables outside. The açaí bowl was good. This was on my way to the medical office. The coffee was in the sweeter end. It is a faith base business. From the music they play, decor, and merchandise. read more

Since spending some time in South Korea, I live for cute cafes and coffee shops. Each morning when waking up in Seoul, the first thing on my agenda would be to find a coffee shop nearby. Lucky for me Conversations is not too far from my home, making for the perfect spot to stop at for a mid-day recharge. The cafe itself is cute and definitely a Kawai lovers dream. Decorated with flowers and unicorns, and rainbows, I'd imagine my five year old niece would go crazy here. There is definitely a family friendly feeling as soon as you walk in. My mom and I stopped by on a Friday afternoon for brunch. We both ordered an iced tea. My mom ordered the spicy tuna sandwich and I ordered the rainbow bagels. Both were delicious! If I came again I'd definitely order the mini sandwiches again! There's a small parking lot on the right hand side of the street if you're heading mauka on Liliha Street, immediately after the building. The food here is light and dainty and I'd recommend coming here if you're looking for a light snack. read more

Cute little coffee shop located in Liliha between Kuakini Medical Center and Liliha Bakery. If you're looking for a light meal with a cute ambience, this is the place for you. Lots of cutesy decor and items to purchase inside as well. Just note...parking is not the best especially if you go during popular eating hours. Best to go on off-peak hours if you don't want to worry about parking. There is a small parking lot (less than 10 stalls) to the side of their restaurant, but it's also shared with their neighboring craft store. If you're familiar with the area, maybe parking isn't too bad because you know the side streets or another area to park? But as someone not super familiar with the area, I was hesitant to go venturing for parking elsewhere. I'm not sure if I just got lucky or if parking is usually pretty easy, but there were two other cars waiting on the side in the parking lot to get stalls. I waited along the road right outside the parking lot for a few minutes and saw a car coming out, so I backed up and waited in the parking lot when those other cars went in. If you have a big vehicle, might be a little hard, though. As I mentioned, this is a small coffee shop type of establishment, so don't come here looking to bring a group of friends. There are only 4 tables that can accommodate two people per table. You can make reservations ahead of time, but they will accept walk-ins as well. Their menu consists of sandwiches, sushi cups, salads, powerbowls, and desserts. There's also a selection of drinks such coffees, teas, lemonades, and shakes. I got the Mrs. Crabbitz on Sourdough. Imitation crab salad with thinly sliced pieces of cucumber sandwiched between two pieces of sourdough bread. What's not to like? So simplistic, but enjoyable. I also got the Magic Unicorn lemonade. Lemonades are not my usual go-to drink by any means, but the beautiful colors of this drink were so captivating that I couldn't miss this IG-worthy moment. Plus, how can you deny the cute unicorn straw topper that they add? When the worker gave me the drink, she made sure to remind me not to forget to mix it up before drinking it. However, because of the unicorn topper, I couldn't get my straw down far enough to mix it with the (what I think) cotton candy blue sugar on the bottom. I had to remove the lid and dunk my straw in to get it all mixed up. Kind of ruined the bottom of the unicorn *sad face* So be sure to get your pictures taken before enjoying this drink. It wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be since I heard cotton candy and thought it would be unenjoyably sweet. Just your typical lemonade, though...nothing too special taste wise. Not sure if I'd be back, but it's definitely a place I'd recommend people to at least try if you want a nice little lunch place with a friend. read more

Tiny little shop located at the corner of the intersection. There's street parking or a large parking lot on the side. Entrance is off of liliha street, don't drive to fast or you'll miss it. They have a nice sitting area outside and couple of seats/tables inside. Staff is very friendly and the prices for their salads and sandwhichs are reasonable and not to expensive. They have a bunch of drinks to choose from. The crab sandwhich is tasty and quite filling. The salad is really good. The unicorn lemonade was a little bit on the sweeter side, but good. Overall nice little place to grab a quick bite to eat and just sit outside and relax even though there's alot of roadway noise. There's also a bunch of trinkets and gifts that they sell in the shop. If you're in the area for a light/quick bite or a refreshment, this is a really good place. read more

Picking up my daily coffee and sandwich or cookie, açaí bowl, or Chex mix to eat, I have time to check out the cute stuffed animals, hats, wallets, bags, jewelry snd lots more to look at. Make sure to look everywhere, up and down, so that you don't miss anything. You won't regret it to stop by. Parking is located right next to Conversation. read more

I really wanted to give Conversations a good review. Really, really -- they are a 5 star establishment when it comes to service and the friendliness of their staff and their food/drink options. Let me explain the reason for this 3 star review. Located on Liliha Street, at the corner of Liliha and Kuakini, Conversations is seriously the cutest little coffee and bites shop (nibbles, teas and perks, as they like to say) around. I have been going to Conversations since they first opened their door. Their beverages are flavorful and they have some of the funnest drinks around. Every had glitter in your drink, layered with bright colors and a unicorn sticking out? Thats here. I love their lavender latte. It is far better than the lavender i've had around the island. They know how to make flavors blend well and work together -- and I love that. Hours of operation, as of current, and per their own personal IG page (and Google): Monday - Friday: 0630 to 1500 (3p) Saturday: 1000 - 1500 (3p) Sunday: Closed Call ahead, you can order over the phone. They also have a link to order online. Now -- my review. Well, i've been wanting a lavender coffee. Feeeeening, really. So for the past 2 days (and 1 last week), I have driven over to Conversations, on my way to work. I have arrived all 3 times, after 0630 -- and low and behold -- Conversations is not open. I don't know if someone is running late, if they've changed their hours of operation, or if they are temporarily closed. I just go based off of what they advertise on Social Media. Frankly -- I don't know when they are open. Usually, I would give that 1 star, however, I know Conversations to be an awesome place and I just couldnt do it. Conversations is an A+ shop and I will definitely be going back again, hopefully when they are open. Sorry Conversations! Im a stickler for accuracy -- but I will update my review in due time. Mahalo. read more

Cute little coffee shop. A friend recommended this place to me. The coffee is good, their bakery and breakfast items are good, you can sit inside or out, and their free parking lot has always had spaces available. The staff goes out of their way to be helpful too. If I had to mention negative, it would be that the traffic is a little noisy if you're sitting outside but for me that's not a big problem. read more

One of the more fresh and healthier options available near downtown! Prices are decent, service is fast, workers are friendly, and it's only a ten minute walk from my office. The store is super cute inside, and there are lots of different little Knick knacks. Can't wait to come back! Portions are filling as well. Parking is harder but we don't mind since we just walk over read more

Visited them again since I want to try their Golden Moon Milk, very unique drink you don't find at other place. Is almond milk, maca, tumeric, honey and cinnamon. They are not stingy when putting all the ingredients to the drink. Is a very spiced drinks, if you don't like spice, you might not like it. But I love it except is too sweet, need to ask for less honey. I also get to try their Kalo scone today! (Yay, since I came Saturday noon, they don't have much baked goods left). Their scone is not the tough type, but more soft overall, the drizzling on top is not super sweet so it balance so well. And eat it when is hot since they toasted for you! One more pro is after they put the scone in a small white pastry bag, they also put in a brown paper bag, double securing the goodies. Highly recommend the shop and I think owner is the cashier today. Very friendly plus he offers me stamp card. I never got offer stamp card from previous visit. But if you are a regular and never start one, better ask now! Please continue to open and I will come support whenever can :) read more

This small hole in the wall restaurant is located near Creations by You. It looks like a small mom and pop restaurant. They sell a variety of Cafe style drinks and food ranging from sandwiches, smoothies and desserts. I decided to order their their signature mochi waffle which is shaped like a Totoro which is only available on Tuesdays. This $4 dessert comes with one sauce of your choice. The sauces you can choose is maple, strawberry, chocolate, and caramel. The mochi waffle is crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. I chose to get the caramel sauce and it complimented the small waffle perfectly. I also decided to get their peach tea which was about $5 for 20 oz. It was pretty good. read more

The drinks weren't very good at all and the staff was very unfriendly. Unfortunately I will not be returning and don't recommend at all

I walk by Conversations most mornings and some evenings, but could never figure out what they had because they weren't open at those times. I finally had the opprtunity and got a yummy mocha milkshake last Saturday...I took a menu too. Wednesday I was able to go pick up lunch. I got the spicy tuna sandwich and a Korean tofu salad with Thai Green Dragon Limeade. The sandwich: tuna salad on soft Hawaiian sweet bread rolls...little pillows of comforting lusciousness with a delightful dash of chili pepper spiciness . The salad: generous base of watercress on romaine with tofu, taegu and tomatoes with dressing on the side. The dressing could use more ko ju jaeng, but I'm a chili fanatic. The limeade: very refreshing, not too sweet, tastes like it has a hint of basil and there is a light sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper on top - an unusual and delicious combination! Service is very nice, serving sizes are generous, the shop is cute with lots of little treats and doodads to buy, including "Our Daily Bread" in case you missed picking one up at church at the beginning of the month. Overall great little place! read more

While the cafe was cute, the food and coffee were lackluster. I ordered the kaleidoscope bagel and the iced vanilla mac mocha. In my opinion, the decor of the bagel had less of an awe factor than what I'd seen in previous reviews, and considering it is simply a plain bagel with plain cream cheese and fruit - the taste was less important to me than the aesthetic. It tasted simple and sweet as one might expect. The coffee however was abundant in sweetness. It was so overwhelming I decided to give a different drink a try. I returned to the counter and ordered a latte (the flavor I cannot remember) but again, it was made too sweet. I ended up throwing them both out. I would recommend this place to someone looking for a sweet treat - not breakfast. Unless you like a sugar dense breakfast, than this place is for you! The staff were as sweet as the coffee they make however, and we appreciated their hospitality. read more

What a great little cafe on the corner of Liliha and Kuakini Street. With a little seating area fronting the cafe, you walk in and you really begin to feel a 'breath of fresh air from the hustle and bustle from the outside world. Tables to sit at, flowers to adore (and purchase), and the smell of amazing coffee. My daughter and I ordered the mocha latte, and some lychee energy bars. It was such a treat and a great way to end a day of work & school! We're looking forward to our next escape from reality if only for a fleeting moment. Support local, and visit this little oasis in Liliha. read more

Passed this cute spot otw to work. I had to check it out. They have specialty drinks, coffees, teas, sandwiches, and salads. The cafe is cute. It has some nice floral decorations and cherry blossoms. I came around 0800 am. There is a large sized parking lot right next to the cafe. I know I wanted to try the monster claw. Unfortunately, they were out of strawberries. So I ordered the kaleidoscope bagel instead. Still no strawberries but it came with beautiful decorations and colorful cream cheese on a plain bagel that wasn't toasted. It was pretty and one of their popular items. I find it strange that early in the AM they ran out of strawberries. I also ordered the LILIKOI iced tea. It came in a large plastic cup. The tea tasted nothing like LILIKOI. It just tasted like plain tea. That was disappointing. I also wanted to pick up lunch so I ordered the turkey sandwich. I don't eat raw tomatoes or bacon so I requested without but they left the tomatoes on the sandwich. The sandwich had a good amount of turkey on it and it was on multigrain bread, lettuce, Mayo. It was tasty. I would like to go back and try their monster claw when they have strawberries. Staff was friendly. Ohh I also tried their cream cheese brownie. It was delish! I would have liked more cream cheese thou. Cute cafe with cute items you can purchase like mugs, jewelry, bags, accessories. They have a Christian theme and were playing Christian music which was relaxing. read more

This adorable gem of a coffee and gift shop is in Kalihi up Liliha Street. And after hunting down street parking I was happy to see this shop has a little parking lot right next to it. Coffee, tea, açaí bowls, sandwiches, and a surprising assortment of snacks. There's also a ton of faith-friendly gifts for sale, including many items by local artists. One table inside, a few tables out front. I only had the basic açaí bowl, but loved it, and will definitely be back to try more of the menu, especially now that I know where to park! read more

I really don't want this place to get popular for selfish reasons. It's a super small secret find in Liliha and want it to stay that way. They have the yummiest smoothies and they also carry the authentic "chamui" in different sizes. This place also features art and crafts from local artist. Believe it or not I even picked myself up a hanging macrame plant holder. I would give it 5 starts but it's the limited and sometimes unpredictable hours it's open that could be better. Have not yet tried the sandwiches but friends who have tried it have raves about them. read more

Our hunger was completely satisfied with their "Mrs. Crabbitz" deluxe sandwich accompanied by their barista-crafted coffee drinks.

Cozy environment enjoyed with a friend for breakfast. Friendly staff and cute items displayed for purchase.

I entered by mistake, as I was looking for flower pots next door. When I went there, I thought I had made another mistake because I walked into a store full of beads and crafty items, so I left there and went back to Conversations because they had food. Well, I ordered the turkey and bacon croissant to go and it comes with chips. Bacon is my favorite, so the sandwich was delicious along with the Hawaiian brand kettle chips (Sweet and spicy). I loved it. While my lunch was being prepared, I told him about greens and corn bread....not Jiffy! I hope he makes it, but I did leave my phone number just in case. So now he knows who this review is from. That was some good bacon too y'all. CUL8tr! read more

I am only in the liliha area when I have a Dr appointment and been seeing this on IG I had to check it out. This Cafe is just my style and I like that it's a Christian faith based business. I think they just recently opened but they seems a little crowded when I went as they were setting up goodies and trinkets to sell all around the cafe. The food looks delicious with appetizing sandwiches and they poke sashimi cups. They sell some unique teas and mixed drinks. This time I was feeling a chicken sandwich and got a salad with mandarin oranges. They were both yummy. I think the this chicken salad had cranberries and just enough mayonnaise which was good. I think the pit it on sweet bread rolls which made it tastier. The salad was OK. The staff was friendly and service was fast. They have parking in this little lot right next door which was convenient. Hopefully can go back and try more items! read more
