The owners are amazing! They take you through what coffees they have on hand to see what you would like by flavor profile. The food was good too. read more

Dropping in to Vincent and Kelsey's coffee studio is like dropping by someone's geeked out home coffee kitchen. The vibe is very much like neighbors and friends walking in to say hi, dropping off some fruit from their yard, talk some story, and be treated to a new coffee discovery. The first time you drop by you might be amazed at how many people get greeted by name. There is a good core of regulars who work in the area or just like to geek out on coffee with Vincent. Between the two of them they probably will remember your name and/or how you like your coffee. This is not the place to come for a hot specialty drink - no lattes, macchiatos, cortados, and no matcha. Coffee is straight and freshly brewed. If you're in a rush let them know right away. Otherwise, sit back and let Vincent make you a customized cuppa. Pour over is the fashion here. A non-standard Hario Switch Ultimate Devil's Recipe, created by World Brewers Cup champion Tetsu Kasuya - inspired by selling his soul? Vincent might make you a standard pour over and let you compare it side by side to this method. And you must try pour over coffee made using a Paragon Nucleus tri-level brew stand, w a chilling rock. Let Vincent explain it to you. If you need solid sustenance then try one of Kelsey's baked good or toasts. Ricotta or avocado toast, or curry chicken (not heavy with sweet chutney). A light cake or soft sugar cookie. Relax in this coffee den. Support Your Local Caffeine Dealer. read more

has now become one of my favorite coffee shops on the island because of their incredible selection of unique, high quality pour overs and tea lattes they're in fort street mall in downtown, which makes parking a little difficult, but there's a municipal parking lot super close by for cheap, or you can park in the pantheon garage and get it validated at one of the other businesses around the area here's what we got: lavender matcha latte $7.50 strawberry hojicha latte $8.50 honey rosemary latte $7.50 milky cake pour over $6 granola, yogurt & poi $6 mochi waffle $12 hojicha mochi $3.75 i can't even begin to gush about how amazing the whole menu was, and trust me when I say you won't be disappointed with anything you order because they're all incredible read more

This fantastic coffee shop offers my favorite style of coffee: pour-overs! They rotate a few roasteries for their pour-over line-up but keep a staple of DAK in stock. I got their DAK - Blueberry Boom (hot), and my mom got their iced coffee with the DAK - Green Apple, and both were delicious in their own way. The Blueberry Boom is definitely funky due to the processing, but I enjoyed it as the blueberry profile was highlighted. The iced Green Apple was very refreshing and tasted similarly to a green apple Jolly Rancher, just not so artificially tasting, if you know what I mean. If you care about the brewing vessels, they used an origami dripper for the pour-overs. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, and I'd return when visiting Oahu. read more

Drip Studio Hnl opened about 3 months on Fort Street Mall. Co owners Vincent and Kelsey partnered opening a cozy cool coffee studio highlighting dripped coffee and homemade baked goods. During this visit I ordered the cold fashion. The foam was mixed with nitric oxide making it a little thick. I like drinking it half and eventually mixing the foam in with the remainder of the drink. For those that are on the go, they do offer batch coffee. There is seating inside or out. The a/c is cold so I prefer inside and at the counter to chat with Vincent. Service is 5 stars. read more

Great coffee shop with a wide variety of single origin beans to choose from, the owners are super nice and friendly. For someone who takes their coffee pretty seriously, this was a refreshing change from some of the other options I've come across on the island. read more

I visited a few times and their strawberry matcha is definitely one of my favs. I also tried their cold brew with foam (it has pretty strong orange aroma/flavor) and it was pretty great. Drip 2.0 is bigger and they serve more items now on their menu. Worth trying if you are in downtown. read more

Drip studio has amazing coffee and pastries. My job brought in some yummy pastries and cold brew coffee. Their banana bread and carrot cake is BOMB. Super moist, fluffy, and not too sweet. The scones were good too and not super dense. The standout was definitely the carrot cake because the frosting on top was A+. If you go Drip Studio, definitely get their coconut cold brew. It tastes very similar to a delicious viet coffee. Highly recommend it. Drip Studio has some of the best coffees and sweets on the island! read more

I had the opportunity to live on Oahu for a year and had a long, difficult search for it acceptable coffee shops that provided stellar pour overs. There are only three coffee shops that met these parameters in the vast array of coffee places that continued to fall short or disappoint. I will have to call this place a hidden gem and must-visit if you're visiting or if you need a regular coffee place that has the freshest beans and best execution of pour overs Dripp studio was one of those three coffee places and was definitely the best out of those three and was the best coffee I had on Oahu. The owner and employees are some of the kindest and most passionate people I have met in this industry and are one of the places I miss after leaving Oahu I recommend coming here and trying their pour overs. You will be shocked at how far your taste buds will take you. The ambiance is inviting and there is a counter you can sit at and have conversations. Go here, NOW! You will thank me later. read more

I like my coffee just like my whisky. Cold, strong, and smooth. Tried the Japanese iced coffee and was very impressed with how darn smooth it was, but still strong. It's not a watered down iced coffee. This will wake you up. They have an outside order window and a very small seating area, but it's pretty neat. They used every bit of space they got. They have toast and sandwiches too. It's right on Fort Street Mall. So you lucky downtown people can enjoy it! I'll be back...but it's out of the way for me. read more

Great coffee and the cafe vibes. Would highly recommended. Service is awesome friendly and welcoming staff.

Came here for a drink to start our day after looking at many cafes in the area. The tiny shop is located in Chinatown. There is an adorable dog sitting at the front of the store, greeting guests and laying around. The baristas are easy to talk to. My friend got a pour over at the recommendation of the cashier, and I went with a Cold Fashioned, their take on the cocktail with maple syrup, orange bitters, housemade cold brew and added the highly-recommended foam. Wow, the Cold Fashioned was delicious! I kind of want orange bitters in all my drinks now. It smelled divine and was the perfect pick-me-up for the morning. The foam really brings the drink together too. My friend said the barista's recommendation was "perfect" although I'm not a huge black coffee person. His coffee was fruity and was exactly what he was looking for. Overall I recommend stopping by this cute shop in Chinatown. Their food looked yummy; I'd come back! read more

Kyle makes my morning start off right with the avo bagel- remembering that I love everything! Topped off with a lavender iced matcha. I may purposely forget to grab breakfast on my office days to go get this tasty bagel. read more

If you are on a search for a relaxing Saturday breakfast or brunch, check out The Dripp! The food is artisanal and fresh! We had the avocado spread toast and it was phenomenal! The flavors! The colors! The crunch! Not a coffee drinker so ordered a simple Earl grey iced tea. They use high quality products so you will not be disappointed. read more

Cute little cafe in the Fort Street Mall in Chinatown - best gluten free mochi waffle that I've had on island. The matcha and house drip coffee were also great. "Ricotta toast" was just ricotta on untoasted bread, could have used some warming up/toasting. A couple small tables inside and seating at the bar, great for a brunch date or to get some work done. Will be going back for this waffle. read more

Drip Studio has been our "go to" coffee shop when we go strolling with our dog in downtown in the early A.M. The current location is a small, cozy shop. It has two 2-top tables, maybe a 3 seater counter on the side and another 3 seater counter on the other side, and in the front side maybe another 3 seat counter space. Although, all those counter seats are quite tight lol. The service...from the moment you walk in till you get your order...awesome! so friendly, so helpful, and so patient. I personally only tried 2 coffee drinks there and my favorite is the cold fashioned with the maple cold foam so far. I still want to try the other drinks they have. Their sandwiches are really good. I like their avocado veggie sammie. very tasty and it comes with chips or salad. if you want to sit and dine there, I'd recommend to go early like right before they open because they have their regular customers and it gets busy. They will closed from DEC 22, 2024 till sometime in January 2025 because they're moving, yet still in downtown in the same area. so follow them on IG! read more

Friendly service, fast too. The drinks are great and taste sweet. If you work in downtown 100% check it out.

We enjoyed their strawberry matcha, coffees, and an assortment of the breakfast (mochi waffle, yogurt, bagel sandwiches, egg sandwiches) and we enjoyed every single one. Everything was delicious - truly the best coffee and breakfast we've had on this trip. Will recommend to family & friends who visit Oahu in the future! read more

The service and ambiance is nice, but it's the type of treat you only get once a month. It's like any other coffee shop out there, but the drinks are jacked up prices. The shop is nice yet the location and prices makes it on the same level as any other spot. read more

If you want an awesome coffee journey, please come by! We flew from NYC to step into this awesome spot and it did not disappoint. These people really know their beans and how to make an exquisite drip. They also carry beans from Japan, which is rare to find in NYC. Next time we come to Hawaii we'll make a stop here again. Thank you! read more

I was never a fan of matcha all these years. Never cared for it and never did crave it, but Drip Studio has changed my whole perspective with their Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte! I am completely obsessed with this drink now and their chocolate chip cookie of course.... I also love the fact they have a little collection of sonny angels to pose in my photo! My tip is: street parking on Bethel. It's only a couple steps away from their "studio." A big bonus is how entertaining it is to watch them brew and make drinks as you're waiting. It's so interesting and fascinating to see how much effort it takes to make such high quality coffee! I love that! read more

Cute and comfy little spot on Fort Street Mall. As someone who started getting into pour over coffee this year, this place is an absolute gem. The specialty pour overs may not be to everyone's taste, but I really enjoy the unique flavors they offer. The rotating menu keeps it interesting! The oat milk hojicha latte, the oat milk cortado, and the cold fashioned are also amazing. I highly recommend you try the cold fashioned with the pumpkin foam before it goes out of season! If you go be sure to say hi to Elliot if he's around :) read more

I wish this place was a chain. Off the hook. Amazingly good. I tried several of there coffees and wish I knew about this place earlier in my trip. It would had been my go to place for breakfast and coffee. Definitely will be back. There espresso rocks! Service is great and the store smells so yummy. read more

Hojicha was the best drink! Just strong enough and very smooth. The ichigo matcha was very creamy and ACTUALLY tasted like strawberry. Unlike every other strawberry matcha drink that I have had. The rosemary honey latte was disappointing. Not bad but, not what I was expecting. More of a savory rosemary taste and a non existent honey syrup. People working their were friendly and tried to shorten the wait time by taking orders of people Standing in line. read more

I've been here multiple times before and love their drinks. However, due to this experience I don't think I'll be able to come back. You get the usual morning rush. I understand that it'll take longer to get my drinks, especially when people are placing bigger orders. It took me 25 minutes to get my matcha, but others who've ordered after me got their drinks right away. I tried to understand, but do your regulars get their drinks before other customers? I love their drinks I'm so sad this happened, but I have myself ample time to order and sit and relax but I had to ask for the status of my drink because I was about to be late for work. Wish there was a better system going on, because I don't understand how people who ordered after me got their orders. read more

Popped in on a time crunch before work. The two working didn't know that, but they gave quick recommendations when I stated it was my first time. Exceeded all expectations. The yuzu in my pour over was delicious and exactly what I look for. If you're looking for smooth cup from a stylish place, give them a go. read more

I absolutely love Drip Studio! It's my go-to spot whenever I need a caffeine fix. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The baristas are always friendly and know their stuff -- they've perfected the art of making my now favorite coffee. Kyle is the best, always knows what I would like! It's so nice coming in knowing the staff knows me and what I like. They also have great food options, I've tried their carrot cake cookie and their banana bread and was so satisfied wanting more! Whether you're a casual coffee drinker or a full-blown coffee connoisseur, this place is worth checking out. Highly recommend! read more

I'm not a big coffee drinker but also don't like them really sweet. The "cold fashioned" caught my eye, so I ordered that, as well as the overnight oats. The cold fashioned was perfect! Not too sweet but not bitter. The cold foam was very creamy, and didn't melt as I sat sipping my drink. The overnight oats were filling with very fresh fruit. Highly recommend this spot, perfect for getting some work done if you're in the area killing time. read more

I'd been wanting to try this spot out for several months after following them on Instagram and seeing the beautiful drinks they pour out. They are 100% worth the hype. We ordered a sweet corn special and a cold fashion. Both had excellent presentation, flavors, and attention to detail. The sweet corn latte was so surprising with textured bits of corn at the bottom and a very balanced notes of sweetness. The cold fashion is one of favorite creations to order so I was very excited to try Drips rendition of it. The foam texture itself was absolutely phenomenal with notes of citrus and sweetness. The cold brew flavor cutting thru that top layer like a little cold macchiato. I loved the entire experience. My only complaint was it was very VERY hot inside and while I wanted to Stay and try other things on the menu the heat was too much so we headed on with our day. read more

Tried their matcha latte and it was one of the richest matcha flavors I've had. They hand-whisk the matcha, and it blends beautifully with whole milk -- super smooth and satisfying. The shop itself is small and minimalist, service was very friendly. Price is on the higher side, so not an everyday drink for me, but definitely worth it as an occasional treat. read more
