    I came in a little before closing on a Friday and had the best, most appreciated interaction with the staff. I was on the hunt for some coffee beans while also trying to remember the drink orders for some family. The staff was so patient with me and even passed along an extra cup and supplies for my kids to split snacks and drinks. Obviously my coffee was delicious as well. Not too sweet but great flavor!

    Tried this place for the first time having high hopes because all of Honolulu Coffee Co usually tastes delicious. I thought the drinks here were just ok and severely overpriced. I got an iced local latte and was told it only comes in the 16oz. For me, I value quality over quantity. I like a good tasting cup of coffee than the quantity in the cup. I substituted oat milk and added a shot of espresso because, I like to be able to taste my coffee flavor. It was severely overpowered by syrup and milk and just didn't have the taste you find consistent with the store at Ala Moana. And I paid around $12 which is above average for a cup of coffee. I do like that they have parking, it's free for the first hour if you scan their QR code. And I do like that they have outdoor and indoor seating (although indoor seating is severely limited).

    I love sitting patio area here. I had an Almond strawberry croissant and a small size dripped coffee. I got a blueberry muffin for my trip. Their pastries are so good.

    Honolulu Coffee Co. on King St features flaky, buttery crossiants out of this world. Their Hawaiian Latte was okay (3/5); I remember really enjoying it previously at the Ala Moana location but when I had it here, I didn't taste the mac nut or coconut flavors that give it the tropical flare. The ube croissant though was a 6/5. The Chantilly cream was at the perfect sweetness and "ube-ness", and the croissant was so flaky I kept making a mess but it was worth every bite. One of the most memorable croissants I've had in my life, including those from Japan and the US mainland. Coffee was okay but the bakery here was highly underrated. 10/10 would recommend.

    My second time here. Was able to get street parking outside of the coffee shop. The inside seating was filled so I grabbed a table outside. Decided to eat in, ordering a PB brownie bar and chocolate chip muffin along with a large hot mocha with soy. Service was fast even with it being busy. Sitting outside was comfortable and breezy. My coffee and pastries were delicious. Definitely coming back again.

    I love Honolulu Coffee and finally got to check out their newest location on my day off. My mom and I parked in the back lot (1 hour free and each hour after $3). Parking was ample and super convenient. This location is very clean, has spacious outdoor seating (we brought our dog along too!) and has great hours--I really like that they open at 6am, I think the Ala Moana location that I usually go to opens a few hours later. For drinks, I ordered my usual iced matcha latte, half sweet with oat milk and my mom got a soy latte. The matcha is like $10 here, which is kind of crazy, but it's always consistent. Though it's pricey, I think their rewards program is pretty generous because they always send me $5 on my bday and I unlocked a $6.70 off my next drink on this visit. Either their rewards are really good or I just come here a lot LOL.

    I was craving matcha & remembered that I seen their strawberry matcha on Ig. It looked sooo good. I'm glad I got it because, YUM! So so smooth. The strawberry puree matches so well and it's not too sweet. A bit pricey but it was worth it for $9 something. The workers were super friendly and very welcoming. The service was also super quick! They have tables set up to enjoy your teas/coffees and yes, FOOD! they had amazing pastries set up I. The front. Everything looked amazing.

    Lilikoi scone

    I love Honolulu Coffee Company, as they have some of my favorite blends and pastries; however, when I visited this morning I had the worst service I've had at any coffee shop ever. I asked the woman working with gauge piercings, curly hair with highlights, and a hat if a scone at the counter was my order since there were many pastries and drinks on the counter ready for other customers, and she sarcastically said, "did you order a scone?" I said yes and she said, "well then it's your scone" and rudely walked away. The other workers tried to be nice after they noticed that I was shocked by her behavior, because even they were shocked. This experience doesn't represent all the other positive experiences I've had at their other amazing locations, but I don't think I'll be coming back to this location. The seating outside was nice and they have a small parking lot in the back. The coffee was good as always, but my avocado toast had a bug in it on one of the arugula leaves.

    Chocolate Brownie, Ube Chantilly croissants, Apple Morning Bun

    I'm always on a hunt for the best croissants & this place did not disappoint! I saw this place on social media and knew I had to check it out! Located on King Street with free parking for an hour in the back. I came in knowing what I wanted and was so happy they had it still! I came in around 10:45a and they open at 6a. Here's what I got: 1. Cinnamon Apple Morning Bun ($6.50): besides croissants, I love morning buns. This one was flakey, sugary, cinnamony, and had a generous amount of apple. 2. Ube Chantilly Croissant ($7.85): This thing was huge!! Super flakey, the coconut flakes on top added a nice crunch. The ube was delicious! ( I love anything ube!) 3. Chocolate Brownie Croissant ($7.85): Just as the name states, this is stuffed with an actual piece of brownie. The brownie was fudge & again, the croissant was flakey & buttery. There's indoor and outdoor seats & of course coffee. Overall, the croissants were delicious but definitely a bit of a splurge at $8/croissant.

    Saturday breakfast date! First time visiting this place, parking was pretty easy. There are inside/outside seating area. My favorite is their Quiche Lorraine! Ham and cheese croissant was also good!! Cafe latte art of swan was such an amazing job by ballista! Love it!!

    Nice, new location in the old Kokua Market space. Great vibe, lots more intimate than the Kalakaua location this spot replaced. Doors open both onto King Street as well as to the parking lot out back. Baking and roasting are done on site so that eats up a lot of space. The chill, shady lanai out back is where you'll enjoy your coffee and treats. Food and drinks can be a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. This coffee is excellent. Grateful to this business for investing locally and bringing life to an important historic anchor for Mō'ili'ili. I know they'll be a great success!

    Birthday dessert in Honolulu, Hawaii... Located inside of Honolulu Coffee Company is Bakery on King. They have beautiful pastries on display. Standouts: *The Cereal Milk Croissant is pretty because of the colorful Fruity Pebbles sprinkled on top. *The Lilikoi Croissant sounded different and yummy! *The Ube Coconut Croissant has fresh coconut flakes on it! The plain croissant was flakey and airy! We enjoyed the simple buttery goodness and high quality! We'll be back - especially because there's a free parking lot in the back!

    Coffee roaster

    Bakery on King... Honolulu Coffee is finally here and after much patience I decided today was the day as I didn't want to search for parking and is nice that they do have a lot of stalls in the back along with direct access from the lot and was impressed with how they made this former Kokua Market location work for them as they took the Kapiolani location and shrank it to a smaller scale though still had everything including the coffee roaster. With both seating inside and outside along with the huge display of baked goods you line up against to place your order is a nice touch to draw you in and it did work as I couldn't resist the Corn Chowder Croissant but wished that I didn't as it just didn't work for me but what did was their Strawberry Matcha a light and refreshing drink that wasn't too sweet really got my cravings in check. The staff was nice not that forwarding besides asking me "if that was all" but the barista was really nice and friendly made my drink perfectly and is nice to see that they have some self service water as well to keep hydrated. The vibe here is like a great gathering place with many lounging and catching up which is nice as it's very cool in this well air conditioned shop you can basically just keep coming back especially as I found out I had points to redeem bringing my treat a real treat. Thank you!

This might be one of the only places in Waikiki open at 4 AM which is perfect if you've just arrived the night before from the East Coast. The inside of the shop feels homey. They have a display case full of pastries along with additional baked goods set out nearby. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a coconut latte and then ordered a blueberry malasada while my father went with a custard-filled one. At Maleko, the malasadas are pre-made but not filled until you order which I think is a smart move. I first tried my blueberry malasada and thought it was good. The dough was light and fluffy and the filling had a great flavor. As for my coffee, I have to agree with other reviews that the syrup made it overly sweet. I still drank it, but I definitely would have preferred something less sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again for the malasadas. As for the coffee, I would probably pass unless you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side.

This is the only standing Kulu Kulu and I hope this place does not close, or if it does relocate, come closer to Central Oahu where the rent is cheaper, haha (hint). This location is on the outer edges of Waikiki on Hobron Lane in Eaton Square. I rarely venture to Waikiki, and if I do make the dreaded drive to "town", this place and Kan Sushi will be the only regular places where I will make my stop(s), because its so worth it. I've had a long-standing love-affair with Kulu Kulu from the Shirokiya Food Court location with it's waffle bears and Hello Kitty waffles, the takeout Nama Chocolate cups stocked at Mitsuwa Marketplace and now here, in town. The Ube Coconut Mousse $6.95 blew our minds, it was THE best tasting thing, ever. Both the ube and the coconut were not cloying, and as with all of their treats, not overly sweet either. That's why I love Japanese pastries, they get the sweetness just perfect and I have no idea how they mastermind that ratio! Strawberry Panna Cotta $5.95 was creamy, flavorful, delicious and surprisingly light and refreshing for such a creamy dessert. I normally don't get this kind of combination of flavors, and it tasted like something you'd get in a Michellin-rated establishment. Looking back at the photos, I see vanilla bean seeds in the panna cotta, so every loving detail and nuance shows through with each mouthful. Nama Chocolate $5.75 is my go-to chocolate LOVE. It's cut into cool creamy semi-sweet squares dusted with cocoa and it melts in your mouth! This is my favorite of all things that Kulu Kulu makes. I actually enjoy this better than the famous Royce Chocolates from Japan. We ordered another seasonal Strawberry dessert slice cake but it was eaten before I could review (and/or taste it); I've heard it was very very delicious. This place is so good that I plan to bring my friends who will be visiting from Virginia here to try their pastries. I also plan to support this business for as long as I can and make more frequent trips to town just to get these amazing desserts.
