    Dubai chocolate iced latte
    Lulu W.

    Tourist here: I am not down for chains, so found this hole in the wall coffee shop, really no room for sitting in the shop when people come to order, but they do have some seating outside the shop and they will bring your ur orders since its difficulty to wait inside.. now I can only vouch for the Coffee based on our orders, but damn it was sooo good... I tried the Dubai chocolate iced latte which came with whipped cream and chopped pistachios on top... yum.... The food... well it was easy but not standout.. the food did take much longer to come out bc the were busy for such a small place.. for the bagel Sammy and we also had the breakfast burrito.. I was told the burrito had some heat to it... no extra fixings...

    We found this place on Yelp last Oct 2025 and came 3 times! The food is fantastic and the presentation makes it all the more tasty! The other and staff are very friendly and accommodating with requests! The avocado toast is so good we ate it each time. Highly recommend this little out of the way place! Best kept secret in Waikiki!

    Great breakfast spot! The food came out nice and fresh, the value was excellent, and the waitress was super chill and friendly. Not a lot of seating inside but a good amount of patio seating that's covered. Nothing bad to say, this place was really solid. I'd give them more than a 5 if I could!

    Matcha Latte Iced Coffee & Mocha Late Iced Coffee
    Roben B.

    Food: The matcha tasted culinary grade, which is good, but was lacking some depth and had some slight grit in the texture. The mocha was fairly standard. Decent espresso for a cafe and a synthetic mocha. Nothing out of the ordinary, but I appreciate that they are open early. Service: For being as busy as they were, they greeted and acknowledged me upon entrance. The pair of ladies were very communicative and upbeat. The speed of service was quite efficient and they were very sincere. Ambiance: for being in a random mall off the Main Street they have a very local vibe. The inside is incredibly small, so only about 4 or 5 people can be in there at a time. The outdoor seating is a nice touch for those that want to sit around and enjoy their coffee.

    Papaya boat to go

    Stumbled upon this place by accident looking for the açaí bowl place before our whale watching excursion. They had everything we needed: açaí bowl, breakfast food, and coffee. Surprisingly enough I ended up getting the papaya boat which was delicious! You can tell this place does everything with care. My husbands iced americano was rich in flavor and he enjoyed the breakfast burrito. Would recommend if you want something not so touristy that tastes delicious. Price was decent as well. Would recommend and would come back when in this part of Waikiki!

    Latte And Bagel
    Steve A.

    Came to this coffee shop in Waikiki at breakfast. Da' HI Brew is one of the shops inside the Discovery Bay Center. It probably is the best thing in there. Almost everything else is fast food. The menu isn't big but there's some good basic choices as far as drinking and eating healthy. Breakfast is probably the busiest time to go. It's only got a few seats inside, but there's some more in front of it. The atmosphere is much better inside though. Feels like a dead mall on the outside. Seems coffee is the main thing. It's about $6 for a latte. Offers some non dairy milks including oat. Bagels are the main thing to eat. It's about $6 for a bagel with a spread. Cream cheese is the most popular. There's other toppings including avocado and sprouts. For sure it's a good place to start a morning at. It's located in the Discovery Bay Center at Ala Moana and Hobron. They have options for meat eaters and vegetarians.

    Breakfast Crunchwrap
    Czarina D.

    I enjoyed my food here! I was staying at a nearby hotel and craving some breakfast food. The Breakfast Crunchwrap caught my eye. I ended up adding avocado and sprouts because my body was begging me for some vegetables haha It was pretty good! I enjoyed the crunch of the toasted tortilla! I wish they had a crunchy tostada layer in there like Taco Bell does with their crunchwraps. And I have a fun suggestion: a hot sauce in there (similar to Taco Bells) would really make the crunchwrap extra delicious. I say that because I happened to have had Taco Bell's mild sauce on me and it was the PERFECT condiment for this crunchwrap! Also some of the menu items are on their online menu, but not on all the in-store menus (like the Crunchwrap). So check the online menu just in case :)

    Instead of having an overpriced hotel breakfast again, we decided to walk across the street and find something a little bit more affordable on our last day. We arrived a little after 7:00 on a Monday morning with no wait. The service was fantastic and our food arrived very quickly. Highly recommend in the area for a quick breakfast spot if you have a busy day ahead.

    Stopped by just for a chai after watching sunrise over diamond head lookout. Cashier is friendly and welcoming. The decor is very chic and welcoming also. It felt like home. Ordered a large chai tea latte. It is very yummy and just right. They have outside sitting area and indoor sitting also

    Breakfast Burrito and Latte Iced Coffee
    Adrian S.

    This was our third breakfast here, and it just keeps getting better. The customer service is top tier; every single time, the staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely makes you feel at home. The shop itself has that cozy, homey vibe with awesome music playing in the background that sets the perfect tone. The food is consistently delicious. I highly recommend the breakfast burrito; it's hearty and full of flavor. My iced latte was smooth and refreshing, and my friend ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel that smelled like heaven on earth as it toasted, filling the whole shop with that sweet aroma. I honestly don't know how the negative reviews came to their conclusions, seems like nothing but haters. This place is an absolute must if you're looking for great food, great coffee, and a welcoming atmosphere. After three visits, I can confidently say: this is the spot. And by the way, their salsa music selection was prime.

    Breakfast Crunchwrap, fresh cup of fruit, and regular drip coffee. So good!

    Sorry, but gotta keep it real-- this place was a foul ball. Mrs. Picante and I wanted our cake and…read moreeat it too: we wanted pho, but didn't want to walk too far from the hotel. This place was just two blocks away, so we braved the November misty rain and consistent wind through the buildings to make it over here. To be fair, this seemed more like a Vietnamese coffee joint and a Banh Mi place... so maybe coming here for pho wasn't our best idea. They had two kinds available that night-- beef and chicken. Since chicken pho is not something I'm willing to try, we both ordered up the dac biet. The broth was bland with a thin and unpleasant veil of grease along the top that congealed quickly on the rim of the bowl. It wasn't hot enough, or maybe the pre-cooked and chilled noodle block they poured it over cooled it off. Meat was chewy and low quality. The sprouts and basil were soggy and wilted. Honestly, it was a get up and leave kind of thing. The whole place was just dingy and didn't feel great. I've eaten at some very modest places in my native San Gabriel Valley in Southern California, so it's not a snobbery thing. It's a "someone get a Swiffer wet jet and some paper towels and give this whole place a once-over. Speaking of once, that's the sum total of times we'll ever eat here. Too bad... because it was really close to our hotel :)

Mostly we go as a takeout spot, although there was a bench outside. Their sandwich menu has variety but is not overwhelming. The people working have also been quite nice! We decided to get the No Comply toasted. While it is a pricier sandwich, as it was about $14, the sandwich came packed with chicken, lettuce, and more. It served as a meal and a half! It was also super tasty with the roasted garlic mayo and pesto. Definitely a go-to sandwich order that I am looking forward to getting again!

    I had heard about this place but had never tried it before. I love a good sandwich, so I was…read moreexcited to give it a shot. Ordering ahead was easy and convenient, which I appreciated, and pickup was smooth. When I picked up my sandwich, my first thought was, "Wow, this is a heavy sandwich for a turkey-bacon with added avocado, no onions, and no tomato." At the time I assumed the weight meant a generous portion of turkey and bacon. Unfortunately, when I got back to work and opened it, I quickly realized that wasn't the case--it was the lettuce. There was an overwhelming amount of lettuce packed into the sandwich, to the point where it felt completely out of balance. Instead of being turkey-forward, it felt more like a lettuce sandwich with a few toppings added in. The turkey and bacon portions themselves were surprisingly small and unevenly distributed--one half had about two slices of turkey while the other had closer to a slice and a half. Most of the bacon was also concentrated on one half, so I ended up redistributing it just to make the sandwich feel a bit more balanced. The bread didn't help either. I think I shouldn't have gotten it toasted--it just didn't do it for me. It felt a little off with the filling and didn't add anything to the overall experience. I ordered The Duke, but what I didn't realize was that I was essentially getting a salad sandwich (see pic). I like lettuce on a sandwich, but this was next level--the amount completely overwhelmed everything else inside. The cost was another consideration--my total came to $19.37, including a $3.50 charge for avocado. For the portion size and balance of ingredients, I expected a bit more bang for my buck. If I give this place a second chance, I'll definitely need to say 'lite lettuce'--or maybe just 'no lettuce, please'--unless I want another salad disguised as a sandwich!

I had visited their sister location the night before in Waikīkī and had such a great experience that I told my wife, "If this place is anything like last night, we're in for something good." She agreed--and we decided to give it a shot. Right when we walked in, we were greeted by Colby, a tall, friendly guy with a great attitude. I mentioned my experience from the night before, and he immediately said he wanted to live up to that standard. That kind of response set a really positive tone. We ordered two Aroma Specials: Dolce & Banana (me) Nutella Latte (my wife) For food, we went with: P.B. Delight açaí bowl Turkey pesto panini Bacon & egg bagel Total came out to about $62, which we expected given the location near the beach. We grabbed a seat inside by the window (outside seating was full--no surprise on such a beautiful morning). Our drinks came out quickly--but unfortunately, this is where things started a little rough. We both noticed right away that something was off. My wife's Nutella latte didn't have that rich hazelnut flavor you'd expect, and my Dolce & Banana was missing the banana entirely. Honestly, they tasted almost identical. When I politely mentioned it to a staff member who brought out our food, the response felt dismissive and didn't really address the concern--which was disappointing and definitely not the experience we were hoping for. At that point, we decided to just enjoy the food and move forward--and I'm glad we did, because the food was fantastic. The turkey pesto panini was loaded with flavor, perfectly crispy on the outside, and packed with melty cheese. The bacon & egg bagel was hearty, well-balanced, and super satisfying. The P.B. Delight açaí bowl was the surprise standout--perfectly blended, fresh, and the peanut butter added an awesome richness that made it feel like a treat. Everything on the food side absolutely delivered. A few minutes later, Colby came by to check on us--and this is where the entire experience turned around. I let him know honestly: "The food is amazing, but the coffee missed the mark." Without hesitation, without attitude, and without making excuses, he said, "Hang on, let me fix that." I even told him not to worry about it--we were enjoying ourselves regardless--but he insisted. "Rick, I got you," he said. Within minutes, he came back with two freshly made drinks and a sincere apology. We took a sip and immediately--night and day difference. The Nutella latte had that rich, distinct hazelnut flavor. The Dolce & Banana finally had that smooth, balanced banana note Exactly what we were hoping for the first time. Colby is the MVP Colby completely turned this experience around. His attitude never changed--he was smiling, positive, kind, and genuinely cared about making things right. No defensiveness, no excuses--just great customer service and follow-through. That kind of service is rare, and it matters. It's evident that not all the workers have that same dedication to customer service but Colby does! What could have been a disappointing visit ended up being a great one because of him. Hawaiian Aroma Caffè--take care of this young man! He represents your business incredibly well. He needs to be leading your team on what customer service looks like and they need to follow his lead. From naming customers by their first name, to holding that perfect smile the entire time, to checking in with guests after receiving their meals and really caring about their experience. Colby naturally has it and should be showing every one how to do it as well! The Future Looks Bright for Colby and if you don't take of him, someone smart will! Final Thoughts Great food, great location, and a really cool atmosphere--but what stood out most was the service recovery. Mistakes happen anywhere. What matters is how they're handled--and Colby handled it perfectly. Because of him, we'll absolutely be back. Thank you again, Colby--keep doing your thing. You made our day. - Dr. Rick

He literally told me "you can either have it in the sandwich or not at all" even though I'm paying for the ingredients. He then added on that if I wanted to pay extra for the premium add-ons ($2 for a slice of cheese), I could get THOSE on the side. To make the sandwich worth even LESS than the $10 for turkey and lettuce, I watched as he cut the bread in half and DUG OUT the insides of the bread and threw it away before putting the turkey and lettuce into what was left of a very skinny baguette shell. So much for trying to support a new business to the area. Never again!
