    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.

    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.

    We stopped by this coffee shop and ordered a regular iced coffee and the Ube coffee, both were delicious and easily our favorite coffees on the island. There was a bit of a line and service was slightly on the slower side, but the quality of the drinks more than made up for it. You can really taste the care and craftsmanship in every sip. Definitely worth the wait!

    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!!

    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.

    Came here for a fancy coffee experience and wasn't disappointed with my Ube latte. Delicious! And expensive! It was raining so we didn't try to sit outside even with the cover. Friendly baristas too.

    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!

    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!

    Heard about a new eatery in the university area and had to try it. Got there around 11 and the parking lot had some open spots. There is a QR code to scan with the first hour free. Table seating outside was packed on a nice sunny Saturday. There are a few seats inside to beat the heat. We got a variety of croissants and ended up snagging their last cereal milk (fruity pebble) one. There are food items and beverages but we came for the pastries. My favorite croissant was the corn chowder since it was different, had a gooey corn filling, and I love soup. The fruity pebble one was also good with a fruity cream filling. You can't go wrong with a plain croissant. The almond croissant looked good but it lacked in flavor of almond. I think there was an apple filling but it truly needed more almond flavor. The breads and bagels looked good. The burrito didn't look so good. We also got a meat pie but I didn't try it. Looked a bit dry. Service: we didnt have to wait long in line nor to get our pastries. I think they deliver food to your table if you eat in but we got a box to go. Location: there is a small parking lot and street parking. There is also the parking structure across the street. It's a cute place with good vibe just wish there was a better view.

    Honolulu Coffee has replaced Kokua Market and given S King street a fresh replacement! The coffee shop has a large parking lot and plenty of outdoor patio space to sip on a drink. The interior seating is limited with the majority of it dedicated to the kitchen and coffee bar. This may be purposeful by design to limit folks loitering in the interior. They have an extensive menu of drinks, pastries and food. The standout is all of the pastries including unique items like croissants with flavors like kimchi and ube. It was unique to see that they also have made to order hot food items on the menu. Prices are a little high. My husband got a plain small drip coffee that was $5. Nice new addition to the neighborhood!

    Honolulu Coffee - one of the local companies to help usher in the strong coffee culture that exists in Hawai'i - has taken over the Kokua Market location on South King Street. A welcome sight in Moiliili...with Glazers Coffee shutting down a year ago. They have a roastery and bakery inside the cafe. Counter space is available for dining in and patio seating is available outside in the back, adjacent to a small parking lot. A couple of tables are outside of the storefront. Visited late Monday morning while killing time with my vehicle at the garage...lots of tourists to go with locals. I had takeaway this Monday. Tried the Hawaiian Frost...an ice blended cold brew concentrate with coconut and mac nut syrups....disappointing. It was akin to a Haole masquerading as a Kanaka Maoli...a joke...not trying to make a socio-political statement . Guava Hand Pie was too doughy and not crisp enough. Egg and Cheese Sandwich ( on an English muffin ) was alright. Are they trying to upscale McD's offerings?!? You could say the subsequent iterations - Kai Coffee and Kona Coffee Purveyors - have surpassed the OG artisinal coffee company...but they are still worth a try. Hot entrees are available; their omurice is intriguing.

    Grand Opening Day 07/21/25! Long line to get into HCC. Shout out to @brevenchym for his Instagram post alerting me to HCC's grand opening day! Fellow Yelp Elite All Star Nadine C. joined me in the crazy line! Opening day chaos lol. So many people waiting for the orders, wanting to place their orders, VIP guests, and people looking around! The line to place your order was unclear, no directional signs. We finally figured out which way to go, thanks to Nadine's Eagle eyes. Looking at the gorgeous pastries, I noticed there were no prices on the items. I checked the menu board and no prices as well?! I had to ask an employee what was the price point and he gave me a range? Well, I ordered the Liliko'i croissant, the @brevenchym recommended kim chee spam croissant, almond croissant and the Hawaiian Açai bowl at $17.00. and of course I had to try HCC's coffee! I ordered the Mocha latte. Unfortunately, the Hawaiian Açaí bowl was underwhelming. The menu lists: made with organic super fruits (none specified), and topped with granola, bananas, almond butter, macadamia nuts (missing from my bowl), & coconut flakes. The bowl was refreshing on a warm sunny day, but the açai flavor was lacking. Unfortunately the bowl was also missing the macadamia nuts. Wish it had more fresh fruits, other than sliced bananas. The size of the bowl was on the smaller size. See photos. Overall: 3/5 stars Service was difficult to access as this was on Opening Day. The ambiance was celebratory, noisy, and exciting! The coffee was the star of the day! 5/5 stars for the Mocha Latte. Super smooth taste! The Mocha flavor was not overpowering to the coffee. I absolutely loved HCC's coffee! The pastries were good. The kim chee spam croissant was 5/5 stars. Delicious, savory, a kick of spice, in a flaky croissant! The Liliko'i croissant had a meringue like topping and it was filled with Liliko'i jelly or cream? Loved the different textures of this croissant and you can really taste the Liliko'i flavor. 4/5 stars The Almond croissant was also filled with an almond paste and sliced almonds. Light almond flavor, but delectable nevertheless! 3.5/5 stars Overall a great experience! Glad to be here and experience the Opening Day excitement and craziness. Support local!

These fried, sugar-coated dough balls, often filled with custard or haupia, are beloved for their fluffy texture and association with tradition, especially "Malasada Day" (Fat Tuesday). And Leonard's Bakery malasadas are popular in Hawaii because they are served fresh, hot, and fluffy, establishing the Portuguese doughnut as a staple island treat since 1952. Founder Leonard Rego pioneered commercializing them, creating a cult following for the crisp-on-the-outside, doughy-on-the-inside treats. There's nothing like a nice, hot, and fresh malasada. At $2.20 each, there's just no point resisting.

We ate more after dinner when it's already cooled down and it was still good, but nothing beats fresh. Service was efficient and the line moves pretty quick.

They offer a mix of sweet and savory pastries, and honestly, I haven't had a bad one yet. I don't have a single favorite because they've all been consistently good. In my opinion, they're best enjoyed the same day. They also offer seasonal and holiday pre-orders. Sandwich of the Day: The premade sandwiches start at 11am and are made with about 90% house-made ingredients, served on their focaccia. As someone who loves a good sandwich, this did not disappoint. There are a few seats inside but I usually take everything to go so I can get my meat into the fridge.

    If you're more into lighter Malasada and other sweets, you have to give this place a try. I got to…read moretry their cinnamon Malasada with some pimples on them. It must be from their fryer or something. Nevertheless it was light, fluffy, fresh, warm to my tummy. We also got the hazelnut cake. Cake texture with coconut like flavor (I maybe wrong) with chocolate like hazelnut flavor coating. Also light and good. I saw ice cream too. Gotta try that next time. You can street park or Kaimuki municipal parking across the street.

    Everyone knows to go to Leonard's for freshly made malasadas, and the constant crowds there attest…read moreto their quality and variety (review: https://yelp.to/jaduiZfQRq). However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9). Truth be told, it stole the show from the malasadas. FOOD - 4 stars... the malasadas were good, but that ube dessert was next level AMBIANCE - 4 stars...really a takeout operation with a lot of temptations SERVICE - 4 stars...very calm and orderly TOTAL - 4 stars...yet another spot for sweet Hawaiian decadence RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?
