Located in Chinatown, Hello Again is a cute and tiny coffee shop. There is parking on the street and in lots around Chinatown. There are some tables inside and a counter to order drinks at. The interior is mostly white with a bunch of cute decorations. There are some tables facing the wall, which seem to be good little study nooks with outlets. The other tables are in the middle and others on the other side of the shop. There are some tote bags, books, pictures, and more around. We felt this gave the place an eclectic and cute feeling to it. The menu has some options and did not feel overwhelming. There were some neat options on the menu such as the Tiramisu Latte and some matchas like the Golden Hour matcha. I decided to get the Strawberry Bonbon drink, which was espresso, chocolate, and strawberry. It was this or the Golden Hour matcha, but the matcha would be about $10 for a small. The Strawberry Bonbon was good! It was like a chocolate covered strawberry in a drink. The owner was also very nice, and talked story for a bit while making the drinks. We will definitely try to make it back to try some of the other drinks!

First timer here! My friend recommended this place since she knows I'm a matcha and caffeine lover! It's a cute little spot in downtown Honolulu. Parking can be tricky as it's primarily street parking, but they do have a few municipal parking garages nearby. We came on a weekday so finding street parking wasn't a problem. I tried the iced golden hour matcha- which included my favorite ingredients .. matcha, espresso and a touch of honey! Delicious! My barista Lance was so kind and friendly! Also, bonus bonus bonus points for being dog friendly!! They even have a photo wall of all the pups that visited. Perfect little spot to catch up with friends! Will definitely come back next time I'm in town.

Love this little shop! It is a great place to study, catch up with a friend, & get high quality drinks. The best part is that it's dog friendly! :) There are even treats for them when you visit. Their matcha is delicious, not too strong that it's bitter, but definitely not weak. My favorite right now is probably the Haupia matcha or banana bread matcha. Espresso based drinks are also smooth and tasty. There are a few non-caffeinated drink options as well. The Mood Ring was definitely refreshing and pretty to look at too! The shop is on the smaller with 3 cubicle type seats, and a few tables with chairs. However, there usually seems to always be room to hang. Free wifi, AC, and even a bathroom in the back. No food options on the menu, but there is a small vending machine that offers pre-packaged sandwiches, chips, and other snacks. Parking can be found on the street or in the nearby municipal lots. Workers are super friendly and helpful- they will answer any questions you have. 10/10 would recommend!!

We were in Chinatown and my hubby wanted to try this place out. He loves coffee. This place was new to me. It was quaint and cozy. I loved the decor. We shared the medium Golden Hour Matcha (premium matcha, espresso, honey) $10.50. It was amazing. It had honey on the bottom of the cup and honey walls. The espresso was on the bottom and topped with matcha. I've never tasted anything like it. My hubby didn't really care for it, but I really liked it. They have seating against the wall with outlets, so you can get some work done if you choose. It's street parking only, so it can be a challenge.

Drinks: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Such a cute little shop to study and get work done in. It gives very peaceful vibes. Highly recommend stopping in on a Sunday when street parking is free. However, I did not find street parking on Sunday afternoon when I stopped in. I parked at the Liberty Lot for ($7/hour). Barista was nice but not too friendly. I probably would have been irritated too if there was a homeless man sitting outside and blocking the entrance to the shop. :-( We ordered the banana bread matcha latte, which was delicious. It was creamy and you could taste the matcha, which we loved. We would come back again to try other drinks. I recommend trying this place!

Kept passing Hello Again whenever I drive down Nuuanu so I finally made it in to try a matcha drink. It's a narrow space but the interior has several small tables with a cute, hip decor. The menu is brightly displayed on screens and includes collaborations with local foodies. I opted for the matcha banana bread latte. The young lady serving explained it has a cinnamon flavor but that wasn't off putting for me. The large was $10 and you can choose between oat or cow milk. It looked really good with a deep green hue and drizzled syrup on the walls. The matcha flavor was strong, the cinnamon flavor light, but the banana was disappointingly artificial tasting. Also the texture was kind of thick? Im not a coffee drinker so I like to get matcha and teas. I'm not sure I'd come back for this one.

I love Haupia flavored foam combining with the matcha latte. It was delicious. The owner was making the matcha and he's super friendly! I'd come here daily if I work around here! I love the wall of dog portraits and nice decors.

There's tons of coffee shops in Chinatown now but what makes this one stand apart from Others in the area? There was a previous coffee shop in this location but maybe it didn't do well since there wasn't a lot of people that knew about it. Hello again is the opposite and supposedly known for no tipping policy and for it being the least expensive. Or so I thought anyway?? I ordered a small iced latte which I assumed was $5.25 on the menu but my total charge was $6? Taste wise - it was basically a watered down coffee and nothing special. I rather just pay the same price and go to starbucks or pono potions a street down. If you have small kids and use a stroller then it is not very easy since there's another step up and you'd have to pull open the door both ways. It's also very tight in there so you wouldn't really be able to maneuver in there. Service was pretty minimal and I probably won't be back. 2 stars is pretty generous but I like that dogs are allowed.

I'm on a mission to try as many coffee shops in downtown, and on this weeks list was Hello Again! I've been seeing a lot of this place on Instagram/Tiktok for the collab with fiveftfoodie. I opted for the mood ring, which was a a beautiful purple lemonade. This was super refreshing for a hot summer day, and I would definitely order this again. Service was quick and friendly. The inside of the shop is very aesthetically pleasing. There's some desks with outlets where people can study. There's also cool chairs in the shop. I would hang out here to get work done in the future! Service was quick and friendly.

Hello Again is one of my favorite coffee shops! When I first discovered this place, I thought it was such a vibe! A very cute and cozy coffee shop. I've tried a few of their drinks from here such as the tiramisu latte and some of their flavored matcha lattes. The tiramisu latte is my favorite because of how rich and chocolately it is! Their matcha lattes are pretty good as well with a good matcha flavor but sometimes I feel like they can add a little more flavoring/syrup when you get one of the flavored ones since it may taste a little light. The blueberry one is nice! Overall, the drinks are pretty good and the baristas are friendly so it's definitely worth to check out! Hopefully you can find street/meter parking since the lot nearby is pretty pricey.

I don't like to leave bad reviews, but this place was incredibly disappointing... Service: I was clearly standing in some kind of line, but the cashier was so busy talking about cameras with the couple in front of me, that she didn't acknowledge me or tell me I wasn't in the correct line for a hot minute. A different customer waiting for her drink told me the ordering line was empty. This was followed by me standing in the correct line while she kept fiddling with a camera. Ok fine. Then I was about to order, she cut me off to AGAIN help the couple figure out the camera to take a picture of a dog. Finally, as I'm about to order again, she turns to the couple again to tell them they had turned off the camera instead of taking the picture. Honestly at this point I should have walked out, but I wanted to try the cereal killer matcha. Drinks: I got 2 drinks. The Americano was very watered down and not very good, but the cereal killer? THAT was terrible. I paid over $11 for this drink and it was grainy, bitter, and just not at all worth the money. What's crazy is it doesn't even taste like bitter matcha it just tastes bitter. Cost: beware that if your drink is iced it costs $.50 more. For my two drinks, I paid $16. Egregious. This place prides itself on being a "cheaper coffee" but this is very much not the case. Disappointing...

Stopped in to get a refreshing pick me up ! They have a tea iced drink that did the trip. It was super yummy. Loved the vibe in the shop, they loved pups and have little treats from them, which I loved. The wall of pup fame was sweet and fun to look at. It was quick and nice to be able to chill for a moment to get out of the heat. I have heard great things about the Mar has and iced coffees, next time I will be trying. One of those.

A great spot to study, as there are individual nooks with outlets, wifi, and good vibes. The owner is very friendly and welcoming (especially to dogs!). There is a bathroom located behind the establishment. Street parking was hard to find, so I parked in Mark's garage. As for the drinks, the iced mood ring was unique and tasty! However, I wouldn't recommend the iced strawberry matcha. The matcha didn't seem freshly whisked, and the strawberry flavoring was undetectable. But they have a lot of other unique flavors besides matcha that I'd like to try in the future!
