Coral Cafe - Front counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Decided at the last minute to stop here for coffee. I saw this place before when I had a doctor's appointment in the same building. I ordered a peppermint mocha and a raspberry mocha along with pastries. The mochas are pricey at $8.00 but are worth it. The drinks were very good, tasty, and at the perfect temperature. The barista was very friendly and pleasant. read more

Coral Cafe is a cute little coffee shop on the corner right in between InVision Imaging and Junpuu. At the time I visited, there was one person managing everything (food, sales, etc.). She seems like a very friendly person and handles the drinks/food very delicately. The prices are a little higher than similar cafes in Honolulu, but keep in mind that this is a local small business. This is more of a quick grab-and-go kind of spot, especially considering that there's only one table with two chairs available. I ordered the iced mocha ($7.75) and it was what I expected an iced mocha to taste like. The coffee taste is present but isn't too strong. It comes with whipped cream! read more

Giving you the morning perk... Located in the Medical Arts Bldg right in between Junpuu and InVision, Coral Cafe is a tiny kiosk and it's not just the cheesy decor that will get your attention but their coffee is a great smooth start to your day...literally. After dropping off mom at her early 6:45 morning appointment at InVision and Yelp check the time it opens 7am but noticed she was already servicing several folks 15 minutes early that's a wonderful sight to see. Not the usual coffee drinker but did notice they have several different sips though several seems to be Mocha items wasn't in the mood for syrup type of drinks decided on a simple "Honey Latte" and was delighted how fast it was though at $7.50 was harsh but it was a lovely and smooth drink. One thing that I wouldn't recommend is their "Turkey & Swiss Toasted Sandwich" with mustard which is exactly that and nothing else and at $8 this one really hurts, placed in a brown bag unwrapped and with some trifold towels...ewww! The saddest thing is that I have bread and deli meat at home and could've done this but was hoping this would be something a bit more. LIke one of their signs that read "Nothing Makes Sense Before Coffee" is true but know that I did love their coffee and now that I'm awake and aware things are so much more better. Thank you! read more

If you're looking for one of the best espressos on the island, this charming coffee kiosk is the place to go! Their espresso is bold and smooth, and their flavored lattes are perfectly balanced--rich, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. The friendly lady owner adds such warmth to the experience, making every visit feel special. As they say, A perfect coffee makes a perfect day, and that's exactly what you'll get here. Highly recommend stopping by for your caffeine fix! read more

Friendly staff, great coffee. Definitely recommend. I ordered the caramel macchiato and tasted great.

Coral Café is a cute little spot. The chai latte and pastries are so good, fresh and tasty. Chill vibe

Coral Cafe is awesome! The drinks and food are both great. And the customer service is fantastic.

Convenient location, next to imaging offices. I had a tasty Chai Latte, service was quick and friendly! I noticed cafe offers yummy snacks too. read more

Quiet cute spot right inside the office building lobby behind Junpuu. Their iced coffee was a little less than $5, strong and flavorful, the perfect little pick me up. There's only 1 indoor table to sit at but it's more of a grab and go place. Would return! read more

Came here for the first time. I was taking my son to his dentist appointment and found this little cafe within the building right in front of Junpuu. Anyways, I ordered an iced Thai latte and it was pretty delicious. They also sale other drinks and some food items. The female staff member there was friendly and fast. I got my drink in about 3mins or less. Street parking is available and there is parking in the building, but you have to pay depending on how long you stay there. read more

Seriously, the best coffee!! Found it in the lobby for coffee nearby. They don't make the ice mochas too sweet! Really good!

Rang the bell and got my coffee super fast. It was pretty bold. A little hard to find, but in the lobby and good coffee. Will be back!

Horrible service. Didn't even greet me. Coffee was 0/10. Skip this place and go to junpuu which is next door!

Zebra mocha!! Coffee was smooth and balanced. The ratio of white chocolate, mocha, and coffee was perfect!!! Will be back!

Located in the bottom of an office building, next to Junpuu ramen - across from the symphony This small cafe makes an amazing tasting latte and has very good service. read more

Coral Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Coral Café is now in my work neighborhood, tucked inside of the Medical Arts building. For lunch I had the turkey and swiss panini with an iced peppermint mocha. The panini was pressed with muscle and came with a slight crisp to it. What may seem like a simple sandwich to make is often done wrong, Coral Café nails it with a panini that is light, super flavorful and well balanced, pretty much a perfect panini. I'm a pretty traditional coffee drinker and I especially love the taste of coffee so the iced peppermint mocha was outside of my comfort zone. I loved that the iced peppermint mocha still had a very bold espresso taste(which is freshly pressed) but came with a slightly sweet peppermint sidekick. Don't let this petite, breezy open air café fool you, if you're looking for a spot that makes high quality coffee and also happens to make the perfect panini Coral Café is this place. **Update 1/3/2019 was just made the best black eye(black double shot) I've ever had, super strong and super smooth** No Coral Cafe won't write your name on the cup or make you an awful Unicorn Frappuccino for you to post, what Coral Cafe will do is make you a far superior coffee or espresso product. read more

Coral Cafe - Turkey Swiss panini & Iced peppermint mocha..delicious - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great little kiosk! The staff was friendly and quick. The menu has a great selection and the coffee is hot and strong. I chose the Hazelnut Mocha and a blueberry bagel with cream cheese. The mocha was robust and flavorful. My bagel was toasted perfectly! There is even one table with two chairs in the lobby just for the kiosk. I like it! read more

Coral Cafe - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Coral Cafe is a cheerful coffee kiosk in the Medical Arts Building. Owner Becca is happy to talk you through the different choices and make a cup of coffee you'll like. In general, the coffee is on the sweet side, try the Thai Espresso or ask for a Honey Latte. Regulars ask for a Stamp Card, 10 stamps earn you a free drink. Coral Cafe has the best espresso drinks in the area, now you know. read more

Good coffee, good price. I like that it's convenient to where I work, but on top of it, coffee is great.

Maybe my experience was an off day. We went here for the first time a few months ago. The coffee was fine, nothing bad but not amazing either. My husband and I ordered bagels with cream cheese and we received them cold with a very scant amount of cream cheese. The lady working didn't seem happy to be there and she wasn't wearing a mask either. This struck me as odd since the cafe is located in a building with numerous medical offices. Considering there are many other cafes in the area I don't think I'll be returning to this one. read more

Love this place! I had to upgrade to a five star she works so hard and can always rely on her to be there and make something very delicious! Yummerz read more

Poor service. If that lady was the owner of that coffee kiosk. She was rude and sassy. She was busy talking story and both her and the friend would stare and us and "eye us up" as we were trying to look what to order on her menu. Look lady you are no better than us just because you own a coffee kiosk. Just not approachable at all. The friend just stood there in the way of counter and coffee lady just had such a sassy tone. Wouldn't recommend at all due to the sassy and rude stare. The coffee wasn't anything special either. Energy balls are small and overpriced. Horrible service. Very unprofessional. Rude. read more

If you're stranded at this medical building (I think it's called Kamalani) for some reason, you should visit this cute kiosk coffee shop called Coral Cafe. I ordered iced coffee for $3 and something. The iced coffee was smooth. The lady works at the counter was also nice. There's a table sitting area if you're lucky. Otherwise you can sit outside the bench and enjoy. read more

Came here due to the high ratings but was disappointed due to the coffee being overpriced and super bland. I'm quite positive they just took some instant coffee powder mix and serve it to you. Seating was very limited. There was only one table and that seat was occupied so we couldn't sit down. DON'T TRUST THE REVIEWS. You're better off going to Starbucks than this place. Edit: I was verbally harassed by some users (or bots? Their English is pretty weak) in defense of this cafe after posting this review despite the fact that I never used inflammatory language in my review. See the screenshots below of the messages from these users who called me "a dumbass" and threatening legal action against me for posting an honest review. The fact that the online harassment came swiftly was quite suspect. This coffee shop certainly has a lot of loyal "fans". read more

When I'm in the area, I love grabbing coffee here. My choice of drink is an iced americano- the coffee is so smooth without any bitterness. The service is amazing as well! Definitely worth coming in and grabbing coffee. They serve paninis and small snacks here too! read more

Best Expresso on the island!! I am sick of Starbucks weak shots. My drink is always the same Iced triple Expresso, black and Becca has the best for strength and flavor!! Becca is super friendly and she has other goodies for sale too!! read more

I was walking over to the Blaisdell box office to purchase Bon Jovi tickets:) and while waiting to cross King Street, I saw this small flyer taped to the pole - Coral Cafe serving coffee and sandwiches, reallly? Medical Arts Building? Hmmmm, will have to stop by and I did...and I am glad I did. Working in this area, you quickly get tired of the same old eateries: Subway, Safeway, Auntie Pasto's, McDonalds, etc. Though this is not an ideal place for a cafe, it should get additional traffic from lunch goers next door and Goodwill employees - thanks to me:) So far, good coffee and grilled cheese sandwiches. And she carries my favorite vitamin water! What makes me come back is Rebecca-owner and operator. She is very friendly and one of the nicest people I have come across. The cafe opened in November so it is fairly new. I support local small businesses and will continue to visit Coral Cafe. Exercise+good drinks/munchies+ excellent customer service = a cafe worth visiting. I expect her business to expand. read more

I recently started a new job and am completely thrown off as my normal coffee stops are nowhere along my route. I'm still trying to figure it out but on one of my training days I had time to walk a bit further and using handy dandy Yelp & reading some excellent reviews I found Coral Cafe. This place is an adorable little coffee and bites kiosk located on the first floor in the Medical Arts Building. The menu had a lot of drink options and some limited bites like bagels, simple paninis, muffins & cookies and some healthy energy bites/oatcakes made locally. I decided to try the Mac nut mocha add a shot and a bagel with cream cheese. Bagels that day were strawberry or blueberry. The woman Rebecca behind the counter was super friendly and sweet. She introduced herself, talked to me about my day & what brought me in and explained how she brews her espresso so my drink would be to my liking. I'm happy to hear she likes it stronger, less sweet which is my style - she also brewed an extremely smooth brew. It wasn't bitter at all; it was kind of magical. Just the right amount of syrups to taste the flavors without over doing it. It was a pretty good drink! I do wish there were various sizes though, I typically order 5/6 shots over ice often so the one size wasn't my cup of tea. Plus it was a little pricey for the size. The bagels are all toasted and you get a container of cream cheese on the side. My bagel was meh, your typical store bought packaged bagel toasted off. I didn't hate it but it again felt pricey at $3.00. Overall, I enjoyed my coffee and meeting Becca. Her customer service was on point and she multi tasked very well. She had a zen quality about her. Her kiosk reminds me of the coffee kiosks at the train stations in NY. I'll be back when I'm in the area. The honey latte sounded unique and I feel I must try. Maybe add a $1 off Yelp check in?!? Just saying... read more

I came to Coral Cafe originally because I heard it had the best mocha ever but I stay because of the SUPER friendly service. Rebecca is easy to talk to and makes the place feel like a neighborhood cafe, which is always one of the best things about local businesses. But honestly, when it comes to the mocha, there are so many delicious varieties to try! Me, I'm a mint man, I love Andes chocolate, mint ice cream, and I look forward to St. Patricks day so I can get a mint shake at McDonalds. So I especially love the peppermint mocha and Irish creme mocha here. In addition, there's a zebra (white and dark) chocolate mocha and a thai mocha that I order if I'm not getting something with mint. And if that's still not enough, you can try some of Coral Specials, such as the Honey Latte or Candy Cane Latte. Yups, I'm a big fan of Coral Cafe and I hope you become one too. I have a $1 off discount card that I'll leave at the place so you guys can try it too. read more

Cute name and cute kiosk in the medical / office building on the corner across Blaisdel and never to the new Longs on King Street. The owner is nice and seems friendly from our quick exchange. The iced tea is quite literally a tea bag of your choice (some Bigelow and some Tazo tea bags-- Earl Grey, Passion, Green...) quick brewed on the spot (2min? I did appreciate the quick turn around but would have waited for a stronger cup of tea or would perhaps have enjoyed two tea bags' strength but maybe that's just me). Since I drink a lot of tea, I can't say this was the best $2.5 cup but it was good for a quick cold drink if you're in the plaza. May try coffee next time based on reviews. I like the idea of the island's 'best espresso' as fellow Yelper Jon K. says and am looking forward to finding another delicious coffee spot. :) read more

Becca, the owner is a true coffee lover and is probably the friendliest person I've ever met! I absolutely love Coral Cafe and love supporting a locally owned business and family. Super fast service and yummy lattes! read more

This is one of my favorite places for coffee and I think this Coral Cafe has some of the best coffee on the island. I'm not a coffee connoisseur but I drink my coffee black so it's easier to tell when the coffee is fresh and good. Another good drink I like from here is the dirty chai. Rebecca is also awesome and friendly. How many places do you go where you know the name of your barista and they know yours. This place is like Cheers without Norm and the beer. read more

Coral Cafe is a hidden gem off King Street in Honolulu. I ended up inside the medical building where it's located in while looking for directions to a nearby shop. I was in need for my caffeine fix and had the BEST Honey Latte ever. Getting lost ended up being worth the stop. Next time I'm in town I'll have to grab another Latte and a panini. I notice a few people eating paninis (in the limited seating) but it's a perfect place for grab and go food/coffee drinks! read more

This is a great little gem in our area! Great to be able to get great espresso drinks within walking distances. Becca is always so sweet and even though I'm not in the office regularly she still remembers my drink! This is one of the few things I miss about working in the office! I get my latte here every time I am in the office. My friend always orders the macadamia nut latte and she says that she hasn't had a better one anywhere else. read more

Awesome little coffee and snack stand in the lobby of the medical arts building at 1010 king st. Becca, who owns and operates the business is incredible! Lattes are better than any Starbucks, and her friendliness and smile are an added bonus to an already fantastic experience! Coral cafe is clean, we'll organized and nicely decorated. They offer other drinks also such as Italian cream sodas and some light snacks! A must stop for anyone in the area! read more

Must Order: mocha It took us an extra lap around the block to find it but the best way to describe it's location is that it's on the corner of King and Victoria, in the same building as Le Guignol the french restaurant on that corner. Everyone's right, the mocha here is great! I got the zebra mocha (I can't remember if that's what its called...did I just make up that name??) which is a black & white mocha. It had the right amount of mild bitterness of the coffee and sweetness of the chocolates. I'll also remember this place because we came here just before my fiance proposed! So definitely happy memories associated with a delicious mocha! read more

Best.Mocha.Ever. I have been here several times, and for some reason always gravitate toward iced mochas. Wait, I know the reason... because they're so darn delicious! Rich, chocolate-y, cold, refreshing- not too strong, and not too weak. Rebecca, the owner, is super sweet, fast, hard working, and cute! Support local independently owned businesses, people!!!! read more
