    Our daily coffee mostly consist of the local latte, Hawaiian latte, matcha and some ham and cheese croissants. I seriously could not get enough that I bought beans from their place and their honey. My top fave is the local latte and their ham and cheese croissant. It is sooo delicious. Fast service and friendly staff. I bought their extra fancy beans as well for home and I made it today and it was delicious. Very cute vibe in there and they have a big menu with smoothies, matcha and acai bowls. They also have different pastries and breakfast sandwiches. I really love this place. Highly recommend as well when you go to Hawaii! A little prices but their coffee is so smooth!

    We try to come to Hawaii once every two years and I'm sure there are some great coffee shops in the Honolulu area but I'll never know because I know exactly where I'm headed every single time and that's Honolulu Coffee Shop. It's attacked to the Moana Surfrider Hotel but open to the public. Amazing to me that I cannot be there for years, but when I return the consistency is 100% the same. Great coffee, great staff and great island vibes all the way around. My go to is an iced oat milk latte with honey and a quad shot and I always get their PB bites too. This spot is always one of the highlights of my trip to Honolulu and I go every day I'm there. Great job guys!

    Located across our hotel and decided to give this place a try and I'm glad I did. Line can be long but you can also do mobile order through toast. Even if you do walk up order service is pretty quick. We have tried thier ube latte,local latte and the Hawaiian latte and all were good,I'd say I really can't taste the ube flavor. Hawaiian latte is my favorite.

    Aloha! We flew in from Maui yesterday to visit our son who is a Junior at University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. We are staying at the Sheraton Princess and since we prefer their pool vs. The Surf Rider where this Honolulu Coffee shop is located. The coffee is prefect! We ordered a Hawaiian cappuccino, chocolate croissant and the best! blueberry strudel muffin I have ever tasted! The shop is "Hawai'i causal" setting inviting and fun! The staff was very friendly and engaging. There must have been at least 3 or 4 "Mikes or Michaels" since they kept calling my name. Next time I will use "Walter or Heisenberg" when ordering!

    While staying in Waikiki, I had to stop by this place twice because I loved the vibe! We had been told by a Maui local that Honolulu Coffee makes its own vanilla syrup from scratch and also uses local honey, highly recommending the Iced Local Latte with Macadanian Nut Honey and Laie Vanilla - and boy was it delicious! Super great blend of coffee flavor and strong vanilla flavor without being too sweet or milky, the Iced Local Latte was definitely my favorite menu item that I tried. For drinks, we also tried the Iced Ube Latte and Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte. I was not a fan of the Ube Latte, not being able to taste any Ube - which is usually a vanilla-like flavor that's a bit more earthy - and barely any sweetness at all in this Latte, but it did have a very vibrant and pretty purple color. However, the Strawberry Matcha was great: creamy, flavorful, and fresh strawberry puree. I also ordered a Classic Acai Bowl, which was delicious and refreshing, but I wouldn't say there was anything too special to write home about. However, I was very impressed with the portion. Lastly, we got an Almond Croissant that had a great buttery, flaky pastry, but the almond filling was a bit sweet for my personal taste. Delicious though!

    The line is always pretty long, even when I went only a half hour after they opened. I love Honolulu Coffee Company, so I'll do it. I'll be in there for 15-20 minutes to get my fix. It's connected to the Moana Surfrider on the outside right - not inside the hotel. They have a good amount of seating for the size of the shop but it's always been so busy in the mornings when I go (8:30-9:30) that the line is kind of in the way of a lot of chairs. Once you order, the food/drinks come out pretty fast. It's a little on the pricier side but worth it IMO. If you're from out of town, there's no parking, in case you were wondering. May the odds be ever in your favor with Waikiki parking.

    Came here twice and think it's overall 3.5/5 stars. - Espresso drinks are great. - Iced matcha latte was good until I got near the bottom third of the cup and kept getting chunks of matcha powder that hadn't dissolved in the milk. It wouldn't have been a big deal if there weren't so many of these little chunks that were unpleasant both in texture and quite bitter in taste. - Guava hand pie was just ok. I asked for it warmed and it was still COLD inside and sadly not crispy or flaky like I had hoped. - Açaí bowls here are okay. The price around $20 seems pretty standard for this area. I do appreciate the extensive list of add ons though like almond butter, coconut, cocoa nibs and more. I don't like that the açaí itself is still pretty frozen and hard when it first comes out - so would recommend giving it a few min to melt a little. Fruits are ripe and sweet. - Tables to sit and eat inside, clean - Service is average, nothing particularly notable

    When I am in Waikīkī I like to grab a coffee and açaí bowl in the morning or heading to the beach. I got the Hawaiian latte- which has coconut and macadamia nut syrup which is a little too sweet for me. I also wanted an açaí bowl so I got the classic- acai with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and granola. It was very big for 1 person, I probably should have gotten a chia yogurt for something smaller. Service was great and quick, there's some seating inside and it's really busy. Kind of on the pricey side, it was about $30 with tip for my coffee and açaí bowl.

    I'm not really a coffee aficionado thus can't differentiate between Kona, Columbian, Sumatran, Javan, coffee. My wife is better at tasting than me while all I need is a sweet coffee. The Shop in the Moana Surfrider is convenient if you're on the beach or walking on busy Kalakaua. Nice bright casual interior with a friendly staff and tables to sit inside to escape the hustle and bustle of Waikiki.

    Gotta love the Tokyo Toe coffee blend.. for the win. Right next to our hotel the Moana Surfrider . 5 stars

    This shop has an unfair advantage, being located in a beautiful historic hotel. The place is immaculate, beautifully decorated. The staff was extremely attentive, and the order comes out lighting fast. A well oiled machine. I had the Kona ice coffee. After drinking Starbuck daily on the mainland, my wife was very impressed with the Kona Bean. And the almond croissant was simply amazing. Love this place.

    Nice coffee shop. I tried one of the pour over drinks and had the standard coffee. I think the standard one was good. They have some Hawaiian style drinks and food options. Plenty of seating and right near the Main Street of Waikiki.

    I hit this place every day on my morning walk to Kapiolani Park! Tried the yuzu spritzer and it was really good!

    Honolulu Coffee was a solid coffee shop! I tried the Hawaiian latte and enjoyed it. Nothing too great but not bad either.

    Does anyone know if they serve unsweetened coconut milk as an alternative to milk? Thank you - emphasis on "unsweetened" :)

    They have soymilk, coconut milk, almond milk and macadamia milk!

The line moved relatively quickly even on weekend though, so don't let it hinder you from trying. We got their iconic Black Sesame Kouign Amann and loved it too much. Impeccably flaky and buttery pastry base with flawless caramelized bottom. The black sesame paste also came in just right dose and sweetness. I wasn't a fan of black sesame but I would rave over this pastry!! We did have their Pineapple Almond Croissant, which was decent but if you had to prioritize, doubtlessly go for kouign amann. The Chocolate Chip cookie was okay to skip IMHO. We came back again another day for their pistachio and chocolate ones and they were just as mindblowing! If you loved milk coffee, I would recommend their latte as the cold brew could be tad acidic even with added milk. I got their Cold Brew with soy milk first time then Vanilla Latte the second time, and certainly loved the latter better. They did have some indoor and outdoor sit-down spaces but they're constantly occupied so you might need to wait awhile to get one.

    This place has been my absolute favorite for good drinks and breakfast food…read more I was staying at the Outrigger Hotel that is attached to this cafe and I went here almost every single day. Food: 5/5 I was able to try several of their brunch items including their Ham & Cheese Croissant, their Turkey Pest Sandwich, and their Traditional Waffle. Almost all of them were a hit! I especially liked their Turkey Pesto. It paired beautifully with their salad. Their breakfast waffle was also light and fluffy and their fruit was fresh. Drinks: 5/5 I tried their many lattes, coffees, smoothies. Their açaí smoothie was not my favorite because it had a lot of unblended seeds. I did love their leans & green smoothie, it had so many fruits and greens in it, and it also tasted so good. Service: 5/5 This place had wonderful service. All of their servers were so kind and they explained their menu so well. The food and drinks came out pretty timely and everything was fresh to order. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is attached to the Outrigger Hotel so they share a cafe area with the pool. It was beautiful to be able to enjoy breakfast by the poolside. It was giving summer vibes outside. Inside their cafe was very tropical with plants everywhere. I would definitely come back here for the food, the drinks, the happy hour, the ambiance, and the service!

High ceilings, amazing color palette, adequate seating. The menu is pretty simplistic which I loved! The staff were so so kind which always makes or breaks a coffee shop experience (in my option), so thank you for being so welcoming! I ordered their The Cloud Matcha. I believe they use Wai Koko as the base & coconut cream for the top. The drink was good, but it was small and I felt like there wasn't enough matcha in it for how much I paid (over $8). They also don't have Wi-Fi (which I believe may be by design) so if you're planning on doing work, be prepared to use your hotspot if you have one. Overall, this is a beautiful space to have that "coffee shop" experience with friends to talk story or if you're looking for a quieter shop to relax and rewind.
