    Bright, Comfy and spacious environment

    This place has become my most favourite coffee shop in the Kerrisdale neighbourhood. Over the past year I have been here for so many times and I made some good friends here enjoyed a lot of good time here. All the staff members are so nice, smart & pretty and sincere. Their authentic smiles always make my day. Their Kona beans make their coffee outstanding and always my fave. Unlike some coffee shop that serve coffee taste like Chinese herbal medicine (very bitter), Honolulu Coffee is the coffee you can ask for encore and come back everyday. It is good to mention their breakfast croissant sandwich is delicious and definitely worth trying. There was fire incident nearby the building that caused power disruption for more than a month but now they can resume the business in the same location with the renewed ambience. Recommended coffee: Mocha, Matcha Latte, hand pour coffee

    Matcha & macarons

    The vibe at Honolulu is chill except for the people with their laptops who take a whole table and sit there for hours. The coffee itself is good. The baked items & food are a bit over priced i have to say. I wanted to try the paint your hot chocolate item but there was nowhere to sit.The location is ideal but parking is not very convenient as it gets busy mid day and weekends. If you're not in a rush and have all the time in the world then this is an OK cafe to go to in the area.

    Stopped by for a morning pick me up--very chill and cute ambiance inside made me wish I was taking my order as dine in. A lot of fun merchandise and fancy coffee from Hawaii on sale as well--picked up a bag of the super rare pea berry for my coffee loving husband to try! Matcha latte was on the bland side (at least not high in sugar, but wish there was more matcha flavor), but perhaps I was in the wrong for not getting a coffee drink.

    Beautiful decor

    What an oasis on a cloudy day in late winter. This coffee shop is beautifully decorated and brought me back to Hawaii. Love the airy and beachy theme throughout the cafe.. even provided aesthetically pleasing lounge areas. This place is comparable to Island Vintage from Hawaii (IYKYK lol). Very similar flavors and offers smoothies & acai bowls as well. I ordered a fruit smoothie along with the lilikoi mango croissant. Oh man.. the croissant was filled with lilikoi (passionfruit) cream and croissant was perfectly flaky. Highly recommend! The smoothie was delicious and tasted fresh. Can't wait to return and try out other items on the menu especially the coffee!

    Really like the aesthetics of the cafe, and staff are friendly. Meter paid parking at the back and along the side streets. I tried their two limited edition Christmas drinks (available until Jan 14, 2023 only): Coconut Latte: on the milky/creamy side. Pretty cool that there are large shreds of toasted coconut on top and inside the drink, so there's some texture and chew. Honestly, the coffee flavour wasn't very strong, maybe only 1 shot espresso? Great for people that like a fun drink without too much coffee/caffeine, but for me personally, it was a bit too light. Coconut Matcha Latte: also on the milky side with only a light matcha flavour. Really like the presentation, and the whipped cream and pink sprinkles on top. I would not recommend the matcha cookie, it was quite dry and doughy. Comes with raisins or craisins inside. The hazelnut-filled brioche bun was pretty good though, it's very soft and the hazelnut filling wasn't too sweet.

    I'd been wanting to come here since the very beginning of the Greater Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival. Just couldn't resist the "Raincouver" hot chocolate with the cloud of Cotton Candy that I'd been seeing all over social media and I knew it was something our daughter would enjoy. So...we finally made it out to Honolulu Coffee for the "Raincouver" hot chocolate. While we were at it, we decided to also order "The Donut" which is the other flavor of hot chocolate that Honolulu Coffee is offering for the hot chocolate festival.  The donut which accompanied "The Donut" hot chocolate was delicious. We enjoyed it almost as much as we enjoyed the cotton candy. We enjoyed the cotton candy more...but only because it was funner. In terms of tastiness, the two treats were about neck and neck. Both hot chocolates were good but the Raincouver was our favourite, and not just because of the Instagram worthy cloud of cotton candy that was suspended over the drink. The Donut hot chocolate had a shot of espresso in it. This made the drink taste more like a coffee beverage than a hot chocolate beverage. We enjoyed it; however, we preferred the Raincouver hot chocolate which had more of a traditional hot chocolate taste to it.  I was overjoyed when I saw a sign in the shop that said they accept clean, reusable cups! Really hoping to see more of this moving forward as I'm very much an advocate for eco-friendly options. Service: Good Parking: Free parking nearby on West or East Blvd. Location: West 41st @ West Blvd.

    Banana Bread Latte

    Great lattes! The banana bread latte was my favorite. Really great customer service as well.

    Hawaiian Latte ($6) and Cruller ($5)

    The Kerrisdale Honolulu is located on the corner of W41st and provides a lovely ambience for people watching and gives that coffee shop/hangout with friends vibe, especially when it's sunny since they've got lots of windows. I'm a fan of their Hawaiian Latte, it fits my sweet tooth needs and has a coconutty flavor I like. I must remember their iced version is much better for some reason though. Stamp card available if you become addicted to their lattes like me and want to be a bit economical. They also serve pastries and sandwiches. They are quite pricey but taste just OK. They have macarons, cream puffs, cruffins, etc. Quite a variety.

    If you've been to Hawaii and visited any Honolulu Coffee Company and expect this location to be the same you will be disappointed. Aside from the name there are few similarities. There has been some effort to carry the decor and branding, but the food and beverage are not even close. This was our second visit, similar experience this time around. Counter staff was so so, did the basics but seemed generally uninterested. Coffee was 2 out of 5, no crema or rich flavour. Condiments lacking cocoa or cinnamon, service station otherwise was ok. Despite plenty of staff behind counter, tables needed cleaning along with the floor. A lot of students on laptops, not a lot of available tables for other patrons. Food offerings were quite unappealing, the banana bread was soggy and day old. I would recommend walking west to cafe artigiano if you want a quality coffee and a little more variety in the sweet offerings.

    Lilikot spritzer

    Looking for a quality coffee place that's not Starbucks and this is the place! Love this coffee chain in Hawaii and lovely addition to Vancouver. Plenty of seating inside cafe and outside. Tried the Lilikoi spritzer and loved it. Fresh brewed oolong tea with Boba popping bubbles so refreshing. lots of quality bakery items and all the favorites for espresso drinks, teas and matcha. would love to see more of Honolulu Coffee locations in Vancouver. See you next time !

    Always wanted to try this chain. Finally the opportunity popped up. Parking is available on the side streets. The inside is pretty clean and modern looking. The tables are a bit on the small side, but I'm sure this is intentional for discouraging laptop use. There are little signs on the tables too. Coffee here is definitely on the pricey side. My (coconut flavoured) Hawaiian latte was $6(!) for a medium. Never thought I'd see a coffee drink more expensive than a Starbucks Frappuccino, but here we are. To be fair, it was a pretty decent coffee. But my wallet sure hurt after the hit. According to the internets, this chain sources their own coffee from their own farm. Not sure how true this is exactly as my understanding is that the coffee growers in that part of the world are more like a bunch of independent growers with some sort of business association taking care of affairs. Random trivia. Guess I will be back next time I need some unicorn juice.

    I am usually not a fan of coconut milk in my hot beverage but I am in love with the Hawaiian latte. It is slightly sweet with a hint of coconut taste. Yelper J in Hawaii saw my pictures and said that is coconut coffee in Hawaii itself. It never occurred to me this is actually a chain from the big island till then. I have yet to try any of the food. Not a fan of açaí bowls and I was not hungry every time I popped in for the sandwich. The pastries or sweets selection seemed limited whenever I was there. Maybe next time. For now I am very happy with the Hawaiian latte. I saw the staff prepare the whipped cream. I never knew it was made in house. Milk with syrup in the metal container. So the whipped cream is sweetened here.

I was meeting a friend here yesterday who's visiting from California, and when deciding on a meeting place, we realized a bunch of the Gastown coffee roaster places were closed on Sunday, so I mentioned Breka , knowing it was opened 24/7. (LOVE this!). Plus, this site is close to Waterfront Station, and my friend had a busy day planned, taking the Seabus to N.Van and doing a lot of sightseeing. So this Breka was perfect. I was there early at 10 am-ish, and from the outset, I was impressed: exposed brick wall, long counter and display case, fully stocked with the most beautiful pastries and tarts and cakes, and lovely looking sandwiches, too....Just lovely. I ordered a tea from the guy taking the orders. At the check-out, the woman working the cashier was the most unfriendly, aloof person I have ever encountered at a Breka. She was downright dour. Never looked up, never smiled, said I owed X for the tea I ordered, gave me a receipt and said I was "number 3", no "thank you" (despite my saying thanks!), nothing. She looked really unhappy and bothered to be there. (I sat at a nearby table, waiting for my number to be called. I saw her interactions with all the people behind me - and there were quite a few, as it got suddenly busy in the cafe. She was cold and unfriendly to everyone in line as she rang them all up. These are mostly tourists! Why have a dour, borderline-hostile woman at the check-out counter of a busy cafe in a touristy part of our city? I just don't get it). Anyhow, I waited 10 minutes to hear my number called, but I never heard it. I walked up to the take-out area and there was my tea, on a receipt that said "number 3". Did they call out my number? I honestly don't know. I was seated at a table a few feet from the area and listening for my number and I didn't hear it called. I was not impressed with this set-up. Not at all. My friend arrived and got a chocolate concoction which looked amazing, and he loved it, so there's that. I still love Brekas but I probably won't return to this site. Between the cold experience at the cash and the prolonged waiting for my order (a cup of tea!), and not being sure if my order number was ever called, it just all left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

One thing to keep in mind is that you'll want to order online well in advance because their cakes sell out quickly. I can definitely see why. They're fantastic!

Gary's only allows to order the fresh mango cakes up to one week ahead to ensure they have enough ripe mangos, which I admire their dedication. We ordered the 6 inch cake for 9 people (7 adults and 2 kids) and everyone got a thin to average slice. The cake is definitely prettier than the other fresh mango cakes on the market, has a lot more mangos that are perfectly ripe and sweet, there is less wipped cream, and the sponge cake is softer. The family agreed that Gary's has the best fresh mango cake but at $69 for a 6 inch cake, versus $43 for a 6 inch mango cake from Saint Germaine, a cake from Gary's is definitely a treat and for special occasions. Is Gary's worth the premium price? I think so but not everyone in my family agreed. One thing to note: Gary's do offer cake in a jar that's $8.50 each. When we went, they had a BOGO deal with the mango cake jars. My nephew asked my sister to buy the BOGO deal knowing that the 6 inch cake was not going to be enough, as the kids like having a second slice of cake.
