We tried the ube coffee and Hawaiian coffee and both were amazing! The avo toast and ube croissant are to die for! But def on the pricier side for coffee. read more

Honolulu Coffee - Ube croissant, avo toast, ube latte, Hawaiian latte - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'll admit, I came in with a bit of an attitude during my first visit to the new location last week. I had so loved the old location and the memories it holds for me. The three women working the counter couldn't have handled me better -- they were patient, friendly, and just really great. Thank you for being so kind! read more

Delicious! The location is awesome, they are open early, parking available, and staff is super cool! The pasties are fresh and delicious and the drinks are amazing ! Highly recommend!! read more

Pastries were tasty but service was so bad I won't be going back. FOOD - The almond croissant, lilikoi croissant and quiche were very tasty! The turkey and cheese hand pie was not great, was wet like tuna salad and had a soggy bottom. I might have been able to over look the high price of everything because they were tasty but the service was just not acceptable. SERVICE - The line was long to order and get your food. There was only one cashier, one person packing pastries, three people making coffee and one or two people constantly refilling the pastry case. We decided to make a comment to the manager that it doesn't make sense to only have one person packing pastries when that was their main draw and was obviously what was holding up most peoples orders. Compared to the drinks that were coming out quickly. The manager did not like anything we had to say and instead of accepting our comments they looked away in disgust and irritation while we were talking. I'm sorry but in customer service even if you don't like the comments your getting from a customer you should still accept the feedback with a smile and look the customer in the eye. What you do with the comments after the fact are up to you but put on your customer service hat for a bit. Overall an unfortunate experience. Oh and the iced coffee tasted very burnt. read more

Was lucky to get a meter parking stall right in front of the shop. I wasn't expecting much, I wanted breakfast but the wife and kid wanted to try the new Honolulu Coffee Bakery, that just opened. Both my wife's and son's Ube latte and cappuccino were mediocre, too milky tasting. My cold brew was... gross. If you like sour , vinegary tasting coffee, this may be for you. Coffees were about $7 each, The pastries were surprisingly better than I had expected. The Guava bread was okay, nothing bad or really good to say about it. My son, who has a pastry arts degree, loved the Ube Chantilly Croissant. The avocado toast was a bit pricey at $15, quite flavorful with their lilikoi dressing. I really liked their sourdough toast, which was covered with a creamy avocado and lots of greens. I would buy the sourdough, if they offered it in loaves. The highlight , which I recommend, was the Turkey Cheddar hand pie! I was expecting a plain Turkey and cheese sandwich, like what Starbucks offers but this thing was like a super buttery and flaky handheld pot pie! The filling had tins of flavor and I will be back for this. Overall, worth checking out despite being $65 for three people. I believe there is parking in the back. I also recommend getting your order "to go," as seating is very limited. There is a nice decorative coffee bean roasting machine that takes up floor space which could be better used for more tables. I've will definitely be back for more hand pies and to try other pastries. read more

I really want to love this shop . It's cute and the coffee is good but the service is super slow . The wait is always so long . And the baristas can not keep up with such a high demand of customers. They also charge for parking that takes away from the coffee shop experience. The old location was much better and a lot faster . But the coffee is definitely good just not worth the wait tbh . read more

Coffee is always good. I usually go to the other locations, but I decided to try the new location because it is right next to where I go to school. I came in around 6:20 so they had just opened and there wasn't many people. There was about 3 other people in there when I walked in, and like 6 when I left. So again, not many people for a coffee shop with 4 staff members working the bar. It took about 30 minutes to actually get my coffee. Im not sure how the person working the espresso machine on Sept. 25th was able to take up that much time making the drinks. People who walked in well after I ordered got their food heated up before my drink came out. I always assumed food takes longer? Taking about 10 minutes per drink is not normal and real inconsiderate of others time. Also it was cold? I ordered a hot latte and when I picked it up it was already near room temperature. By the time I drove from there to UH (less than 5 minutes) it was not hot at all. I guess she took so long to pour the espresso into the cup that it literally cooled off by the time she did it. The wait time wouldnt have bothered me as much if my hot latte was actually hot. Again, coffee is always good. The atmosphere was nice, and everyone was friendly. But oh my gosh train her better, put her at another station, or just dont schedule her that early. People up early are early for a reason and have things to do. read more

I am so heartbroken to give this place 2 stars because we were stoked to have a coffee shop open in mo'ili'ili. The 2 stars are because they have meat in their corn and cheese pastry and quiche but nowhere do they list meat as something in the pastries. I don't eat meat for religious reasons and have eaten the corn and cheese croissant 3 times now without realizing there is meat in it. Even my partner who eats meat didn't realize there was meat in it, so what is the meat even adding?? I think it's absurd to be a restaurant serving the general public and not list meat as an ingredient. Lots of people don't eat meat for religious, health, allergic, or other reasons. How can you not list it as an ingredient? I am so extremely upset about this. Moreover -- I asked the cashier if there was meat in the quiche and she said she "thought so". Your staff at least should know if the food you serve has meat in it! After that I said ok well instead I'll have the corn and cheese croissant. She said nothing about how it had meat and just sold it to me. Again did she not know that an item she's selling has meat? Did she not understand that me asking if an item has meat and then not purchasing it because it has meat means she should warn me that the other item I'm selecting has meat? Seems the management team has done nothing to train its staff who are the face of the establishment. I'm giving them 2 stars instead of 1, however, because it is a cute place with a nice ambiance and the ube chantilly croissant is delicious. read more

Ambiance is great. Beautifully designed with a cute patio seating area out back, but next to no indoor seating. Service was great. I got a few beverages and pastries to take to a friend meetup. Beverages were okay -- got the green tea latte, strawberry green tea latte, and Hawaiian Latte -- I wouldn't say anything special. Pastries were really good. The main reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is because the pricing is a bit over the top in my opinion. I love going to coffee shops and getting some work or reading done, but this is one place I won't be going to on any type of regular basis. I don't quite know how they justify the prices. My total for 3 beverages and 5 pastries was over $65. I didn't even order an actual breakfast menu item (which also looked a bit pricey). I would say worth at least a one time try, but unless you are okay with these steep prices for fairly average quality, I would say don't bother. read more

Everything here was amazing, especially the service! Our barista, Leland, was incredibly accommodating and knew just what to recommend to us! He made us feel welcomed and you can tell that he takes his craft seriously. As for food, we got a latte, cappuccino, egg salad sandwich, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, bacon and egg quiche, strawberry almond croissant, and chocolate brownie croissant and everything was delicious! My personal favorite was the chocolate brownie croissant and I also thought the coffee quality was perfection. Inside was spacious with a great display of their baked goods, and there was plenty of outdoor seating and parking. I'll definitely be back soon to try more! read more

No prices on the pastry, I could ask for the price of each but that would take too long. The one star is for their selection, I supposed. Biggest issue is their pastries are OVER-PRICED. I remembered their old Kalakaua location had prices on each item. If you are too scared to display the price, you are probably overcharging. NOT going back for food for sure. read more

Got the strawberry matcha latte and ube latte both iced and it was good! Despite dropping my matcha, the cup remained intact and most of its content remained. It's sweetened from the strawberry puree but over time if you don't mix in time the powder will separate. Went on opening day so it was busy but i found parking easily and everyone seemed to have a common courtesy so from ordering to waiting for the drinks it was super easy and nice! read more

I've visited this new location three times now. My first visit was on their grand opening day, and I was impressed with the pancakes -- crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, topped with coconut cream. That experience made me want to come back again. On my second visit, however, the pancakes tasted much more ordinary, and the wait time was quite long. Still, I decided to give them another chance and came for the third time. Unfortunately, this time the wait was even longer, and the pancakes tasted even more bland than before. As someone who truly wants to support local businesses, it's disappointing to feel that the restaurant doesn't seem to care much about Kamaʻāina and instead prioritizes tourists. The stars I'm giving are only for the coffee and outdoor setting . From now on, I'll be supporting other local coffee spots around Waialae instead. read more

Love having a coffee shop in the neighborhood. Wanted this to be a place I go to often. I can't it is SO EXPENSIVE. Pastry and coffee will run $15 Food wise do not get the egg sandwiches. Really overpriced and makes egg McMuffins seem gourmet. I couldn't bite through my English muffin and the eggs texture was not good. I appreciate there is a reward system and I love the service. Croissants are really good and creative. I know it has to be expensive to run a business in that location but I can't see how people can ever make this their coffee spot at those price. read more

Five stars because I won't leave a bad review. $7.00 for one cup of black coffee that tastes overheated if that means anything. Cashier didn't understand how to count back change. Barista served the coffee in a paper cup that was obviously broken around the rim it wouldn't even accept the lid... I don't know, not for me. But nice try. read more

I saw one of the crew name Julian yell at someone who looked new and was just trying to learn and then when it was my turn to order he made me feel like i was stupid and he kept making snarky comments that made me feel like i was stupid and when i asked him a question he just looked at me and didnt respond. Then the food i got took forever and wasnt even hot as if it had just been sitting there. and i asked to speak to the manager she came over to me and she was rude and made it look like its my fault and rather than taking accountability for her staff. And i don't understand why she is in her position if she cant handle talking to customers and making it right. That whole situation was a mess. read more

Sunday morning, we walk in to grab pastries. No drinks just 4 pastries for $29 and 20 mins later, we were still waiting. The staff could not keep up with the orders for food or the drinks. Super unorganized and inefficient in the way they handle and execute orders. Add insult to injury, my daughter's ham and cheese croissant was hard and tough, husband's bagel was over toasted and again tough. The spam in the spam and kimchee croissant was cold and inedible. Really ine of the worst bakery experiences I've had in awhile. There are much better places to spend $29. read more

This new coffee place is awesome! The decor and vibe of this coffee shop is perfect. This is exactly what was needed to replace the last grocery shop! My only complaint is the prices, I do understand this is Hawai'i and all prices are high, but I got 2 things and paid $18. I think that's a little overpriced. Again, I know a lot of coffee shops here, an iced coffee is $8, but me paying $18 for 2 small things is kinda a lot. Overall though I do love this coffee shop and it's in the perfect place to do well! read more

Ive been here a couple of times and I really enjoy it here. The coffee, matcha, and pastries are really good! Ive tried their fruity pebbles croissant and their kimchee croissant. Theyre HUGE but so crispy flaky and yummy! Kimchee croissant was ok on taste I just prefer sweet ones. Coffee, matcha, cold brews were really good and im picky on my matcha. Acai bowl is mid but its ok i recommend the pastries instead. The only downside is the price... $11 for a matcha latte, $8 for a pastry?? I go here sometimes for the sake of it but I dont think its worth that much to go every day. Customer service is good but they only offer outdoor seating with 5 indoor seats. Make sure its not too hot that day! read more

The coffee and the pastries were good. The service was okay, felt kind of rushed to eat since the service was slightly slow. The coffee and food were expensive. However, we were in and out of the cafe within 25 minutes and noticed a citation on our window. Even though we were parking in the Honolulu Coffee co parking space. No one will tell you to validate your car even though the first hour is free. There is someone scamming customers and watching them walk in and then proceed to ticket your car right away. They don't give out any warnings, they ticket right away. So we have to pay for overpriced coffee and a ticket? Like please. After some research, the ticketing company is a private lot one, therefore a scam, and possibly stealing your card information. Just making a review to warn other customers since I wouldn't want anyone else to get scammed!! read more

Quite disappointed at this location and will probably never return. While the ambiance and those various pastries looked appetizing there were no prices available. So you could be buying pasties and easily pay a ton for them Bec you don't know how much they cost. On to the menu. The price point for the dishes do not match the portions. Too expensive for a coffee shop! Extremely disappointed to pay for sandwiches all made in plastic containers sitting in a fridge similar to 7-11 sandwiches and they give you just a bag of chips. The meals while focused more on presentation tasted just average. But most of all, my friends and i ordered the loco moco , omurice and pancakes. The first two dishes arrived in a timely manner. However I had to wait more than 30 minutes for pancakes that were the easiest to cook among all our orders. Then I watched other customers get pancakes when we ordered before them. I followed 2 x for my order and still it did not come. I ended up asking them to cancel the order and explained to them my friends are already done eating and here I am still waiting for pancakes. He apologized and told me I will cancel your order. . But the person who helped told me I cancelled your original order now mind you showed me no proof my transaction was voided on their machine and just handed me my original receipt.. he gives me a separate receipt for my drink. I told the person you folks need to be more organized and know which orders were placed first and those people should be served accordingly. Disappointed and will never return. read more

Food was terrible, I ordered loco moco-gravy tasted like packaged gravy-yuck! My friend ordered BLT sandwich, it was very dry and looked like something that can be bought from 7-Eleven for $2 and this place is selling it for $16! We warned our friends not to go there! It's too pricy and food is terrible! read more

I had the Ube Coconut croissant which was crispy and bursting with Ube cream deliciousness. I ate it there at a cute table in front. I took home a corn chowder croissant which I heated up the next day at home, it didn't disappoint . Crispy, flaky and filled with corn cream, bits of ham and melted cheese on top. They have great customer service and some patio tables in back. Welcome to the neighbood! read more

Perhaps my expectations were unreasonable... I ordered a Side Car with "for here" cups - received disposable cups and not the usual extras. Parking is challenging. Crowded inside.. oh well - will try again, but disappointed read more

Ugh I rlly want to love this place , I rlly love their avocado toast but after today will not be coming back. I arrived with no wait , was the only one in line which never happens. I ordered and didn't pay attention to the price until after and realized I paid 12 dollars for a small latte , I had asked how much they charge for oatmilk and they said 1.55, and a 1.55 for syrup and what not yet somehow it was 12 dollars? I rlly hope soon we don't have to charge for alternative milk if we are allergic to dairy. Anyway , I had received my coffee and realized it's been 25 minutes since I ordered, I had the transaction on my phone with the time that said so. I never speak up but I had asked the guy working if someone could please go check on the toast becuase it was me and 2 others in the place and all the workers were standing in a circle talking. He goes ya , tells a woman to go back and look and she comes out empty handed and they both don't say a word to me. He asked her again to go back and she comes out with 3 boxes and hands them to everyone waiting even tho I ordered 25 minutes ago and the people next to me ordered maybe 5. No im sorry , no communication what so ever. Meaning my 16 dollar toast was just back there sitting. It sucks because this place has SO much potential but it definitely does not live up to that. read more

This was by far the best coffee and pastries I've had in a longggg time! The ambiance and decor were so welcoming and comfortable. I seriously feel like we needed this spot in our community! I had the opportunity to chat with the GM of the location Tiare, and she was so kind and you could tell she was on top of everything. They're lucky to have her! I can't wait to go back read more

This quaint coffeehouse and bakery is located where Kokua Market used to be on South Beretania St. It has a nice flow from the entrance all the way around the line that starts at the back entrance taking you to the drinks ordering station, then to what bakery items they have for the day. Next you can order and complete your purchase at the cashier's. They have a great menu display which includes their speciality coffees and other drinks, bakery specials, and other food items for breakfast and lunch. There are areas with small tables and chairs (up to 3 people) inside and a covered space for picnic tables with benches outside in the back of the bakery and coffee shop. Ample parking in the back on Street. And their bakery items such as the chocolate chip and macadamia nutcookies and the guava and lilikoi hand held bakes are absolutely delicious! I have a "sweet tooth" so we go there mostly for the bakery items but the coffees and drinks look good as well. I would highly recommend this establishment! read more

their costumer service was so great and i love all the workers, and the matcha and gods was amazing

First time visiting any of the Honolulu Coffee Company locations. It was a Saturday morning of a 3 day holiday weekend so I anticipated a crowd and so it was. The line to order was long (about 20 ahead of me) but the ordering process moved quickly. How to move to the opposite side of the circular counter to wait for your beverage wasn't a natural progression. One has to side step customers waiting in the order line. The music was intensely loud that I could hardly hear to converse with the order clerk. All the pastries looked very inviting so I ordered the guava pocket. Clerk asked if I wanted it heated and I said yes. My order was prepared in a short time and settled in the patio to enjoy my breakfast. Iced tea was perfect but my pastry had been heated in a microwave!!! A BIG mistake for a shop that should know better!! Pastry becomes tough when microwaved. Gone was the anticipated crispy crunch but instead a mouthful of tough pasty pastry. Pastry should be reheated in an oven or toaster oven to maintain the original integrity. I'll go for the drinks, if I ever go back, but not for the delicious looking pastries if they continue to use the microwave. read more
