The iced Hawaiian latte tasted like regular iced coffee with a hint of hazelnut. It needed more hazelnut flavour and it was too sweet for me. The matcha latte was good but nothing stood out in particular. The macaron was not good (it was dry) and would not order again. The cafe interior was very aesthetic and reminded us of the Honolulu coffee in Hawaii, there was space to sit and enjoy your drinks. The space is pretty small so we had to wait for seats. They also had a variety of crossiants that looked really good, would go back to try the pastries next time.
I frequently come to Vancouver as much as I can. This place is my go to for coffee since it's a very short walk from my hotel. Ambiance is always relaxed and enjoy a good cup of coffee. Service is excellent and good place to hangout.
Craving coffee while on vacation. We missed island coffee and fortunately discovered Honolulu coffee. The shop is an open air laid back place. I had a latte while the wife had a mocha. My coffee was rich and smooth. It wasn't pipping hot which I prefer for better coffee. My wife's mocha was good. I don't prefer sweet coffee drinks but it was more mocha tasting than sweet. The almond croissant was good and fresh. Overall, I enjoy my time here.
Honolulu Coffee always offers unique and delicious limited items for the Hot Chocolate Festival. This time, I revisited for their 2025 festival special. #093 - Kim's Berry A vegan hot chocolate crafted with rich 70% dark chocolate, creamy oat milk, aromatic strawberry, and fermented Korean gochujang, adding a subtle spice. Paired with a delectable vegan strawberry cookie. This one is the best! First, I could taste the whipped cream on top, which was slightly firmer than other shops'--just how I like it. The freeze-dried strawberry crunch on top was a good match. The hot chocolate itself was perfectly creamy and sweet, with a subtle gochujang spice that wasn't overpowering--just perfect again. It was very delicious! The presentation was so pretty--definitely eye-catching on Instagram. The cookie was good, too! I always enjoy Honolulu Coffee's limited item ideas and unique ingredients. They also offer a variety of regular drinks and baked goods. The ambience is very cozy--perfect for meeting friends or simply enjoying a drink and some food.
I was in need of an afternoon pick me up, so I stopped here because of the high reviews. I ordered a matcha latte and loved how strong the matcha flavor was in it. I'm also a sucker for aesthetic coffee so I appreciated the latte art on it as well. With how strong the matcha flavor was, I expected to be decently caffeinated, however, unfortunately, I felt like the drink barely woke me up. Overall, I'd give taste and aesthetics a 10/10, however, if you're looking to actually be caffeinated, I'd pass on this. The coffee itself is actually pretty large and very aesthetic! I like how bright everything was and the Hawaii theme that they had going on. The baristas here were friendly and our drinks came out pretty quickly. There was plenty of seating when I went and I think that this would be a great place to study or catch up with a friend.
I've had Honolulu Cafe while I was in Oahu, so I was surprised to see there was one in BC when I was looking for some matcha! It was very busy. The line moved fast to order, but the wait time was maybe about 10-15 which wasn't terrible. It was fairly quiet inside when we went, we were there around 10 am or so. My matcha tasted great! Good ratio of matcha to milk and not too frothy. I was quite satisfied, I'd been looking for matcha! I wish they had the menu items like poke bowls like on the island, but that's just a personal wish :)
Disappointing that today is not my day for coffee. I'm also quite disappointed that service was just barely a sliver above okay. I ordered 2 iced Hawaiian lattes (one with oat milk and one regular), and a Hawaiian cream cold brew. The cold brew was extremely sour, and not what I expected. I hate asking for a redo, but I honestly feel most places would offer to make a different drink for me, but the baristas only offered to add more cream to the cold brew. (No cream will really fix sour in my opinion.) That was a half attempt on their part to make it right. I went ahead and ordered a Hawaiian latte with oat milk and felt this still missed the mark. I took a picture of my friend's Hawaiian latte with oat milk compared to mine. As seen in the image, the colors are different despite being the same drink. There isn't consistency. In the end, one of the baristas did add an extra shot of espresso for me free of charge, but by then, I felt my impression was already colored after having purchased a total of 4 drinks. The place was clean, but I don't see myself coming back.
Coffee bar, not located in a high traffic area, but very busy on a Sunday afternoon, so people are coming here to hang out. It is located within downtown Vancouver, and was within walking distance of our hotel. It has very comfortable seating throughout, and there was a wide variety of ages and ethnicity hanging out. There were only two baristas working, so waiting was mandatory, but one of them prepared my wife's Hawaiian Latte ($6.30) really quickly once the order was placed. Hawaiian = macadamia nut coffee with coconut milk. she really liked it. Unfortunately for me, the free wi-fi refused to work, no matter what I tried. They do sell 100% Kona coffee at the expected high prices.
Ube Cream Cheese Muffin is a must try. Delicious and beautiful! The service was warm & friendly. It was especially convenient and close to the Sheraton where we were staying.
Nice big spacious coffee shop in the heart of downtonwn. Parking here sucks unfortunately. The place looks pretty modern, and has a nice tropical theme thanks to some murals on the wall. Staff are friendly. The coffee is pretty tasty. Not sure how authentic their coffee is, but it's decent.
What a treat to get a piece of Hawaii in Vancouver. They had local flavors and had the Hawaiian vibes. With delightful pastries, small bites, coffee and drinks for all. The place was spacious and clean. Where everywhere had long lanes in the rain they were hustling slinging orders with minimal turnover time. This was perfect for my morning walk, hungry and cold. All the details in the drinks to the cups were absolutely adorable.
What festive and summer vibe-ey coffee shop in the heart of the city. Walking in, you'll immediately all the great things they have to offer coffee goers: plenty of seating, some even with outlets and plexi glass partitions; food, ranging from pastries to savory croissant sandwiches; merch and coffee beans to-go. The place smelled delish, almost as if the aroma of pizza was in the air. Was it the savory sandwiches or perhaps a nearby pizza shop? I'll never know. But beware, you may want pizza on your way out. I was there for about an hour to handle work calls and sip on a matcha latte and also grab an almond milk latte to go. Additional pros: They have a punch card system; after your 10th drink purchase, you can redeem a $6 bev of choice. Only con: The guest internet was very wonky for me. After a few times that I lost connect, I packed up my bags and went back to my hotel.

Have only tried cakes, no drinks or savory food. Cruffles and doughnuts were okay, but can't match up to other sweet treats around the downtown area. Just okay and server was a little slow. read more

First of all, take this review with a grain of salt as I am an amateur coffee drinker. Been wanting to check this place out since they've opened and finally had a chance to do so on Tuesday when I headed to work earlier. The place is attached to an office building as well so you can either entire from their store front or cut through from the office building as they've got seating in some of the office lobby space as well. Decided to order the Hawaiian latte, Gibraltar and a Lilikoi Macadamia Scone. I've never tried any of these before so there's really no comparisons to make. The Hawaiian latte comes with the option of whipped cream. The latte has hints of coconut flavoring from the syrup they've added. The Gibraltar is 2 shots of espresso with some milk; they serve this on a wooden board with a side of sparkling water and three chocolate coffee beans. As a person who is more familiar with the macchiatos and flat whites, I found the Gibraltar to be slightly on the bitter side as there was barely any milk but pairing it with a pastry definitely helped with the acidity and bitterness of the espresso. Generally not a scone fan but decided to opt for the Lilikoi Macadamia scone. Had no idea what lilikoi was prior to this but the internet says passion fruit. The scone itself was slightly sweet and surprisingly had pieces of macadamia nuts in it as well. Would love to come back to try their cakes and cold drinks but the cakes are a little on the pricier side at just under $7 for a slice and I don't usually have cravings for cakes so we'll see about that one but not a bad location as you can enjoy a quiet little cafe early in the morning before the hustle and bustle of downtown. read more

Wow! It is so rare for me to go to a coffee shop and be able to get a pastry or bread. Here they had a vegan spice bread that was amazing. Full of rich flavor and not too heavy. The Hawaiian latte was also excellent. I loved the rich, nutty flavor and it blended perfectly with the spice bread. The staff were very helpful and accommodating of questions. No problem for non dairy alternative for your coffee and several food choices beyond banana. Yay! The ambiance deserves a mention. While this is set back from the street, it still has that vibe of you being in a city. Without the honking and foot traffic and cramped quarters some coffee places are known for -and I appreciated it. It was not busy -good for me on a Saturday morning. There was plenty of seating indoor and out. Like others I only discovered late in my stay because I guarantee i would have been grabbing coffee here all week had I known. Highly recommended! read more

I'll start by saying I'm normally a tea drinker; coffee normally gets my heart racing too much. I came here for a work meeting and my colleague recommended the Hawaiian Latte since I like things on the sweeter side and it's a latte, so less caffeine? Anyways it tasted pretty good without giving me a heart attack. They also serve pastries and cakes. I tried their passionfruit chocolate cake and their matcha cake. They're similar to those you'd get from Thierry, Ganache, or Faubourg, but not as tasty at the same price range. Probably won't get their cakes here again. I also tried their chocolate croissants and another savory one to-go. These were done quite well and made for a quick lunch. This location is a bit hard to find. It's tucked into an office building, next to Gyu-Kaku. The layout is long and narrow. There's a section that ends up in the lobby of the building their in where they have loungy sofas and feels like you are away from the rest of the coffee shop. I like the privacy. On warm days, they also put chairs and tables out on their "patio". read more
This is a nice surprising 'tropical' spot in downtown Vancouver. The decor is light with an exotic Hawaiian feel to it. There's nothing extraordinary about the coffee , at least I didn't notice with the Americano I ordered. However, I didn't try the other blends of coffee. I like that you can get authentic Kona blend beans here to go, but note that they are on the pricy side. They have several pastries to choose from. I had the matcha green cranberry cookie, which was a nice little snack. I would like to try the other items on their menu and was impressed that they carry Maui Brewing beer, as I had this when I was in Hawaii. It's good beer! It's a good idea to stop in here if you want something out of the ordinary in atmosphere. read more
Oh my goodness!!!! I travel for work and am always on the hunt for outstanding coffee, Honolulu Coffee was even better than I expected! The space is light and beachy (without being cheesy) which was a great atmosphere, especially for the rainy day I came in on. The staff is quick, efficient, kind, and good at what they do. The COFFEE. The coffee is AMAZING! I had the Kona blend and it was perfect. Smooth and flavorful, bright without being acidic. It was just perfect for me. Also, ordered the veggie quiche, and it was also freaking delicious. Pretty sure it was homemade down to the crust. Overall, Honolulu killed it. If I find myself in Vancouver again, I'll definitely be back! read more

Cute coffee shop with aloha style decor on Nelson square, stopped there since needed to use wc and didn't feel comfortable to ask for the permission to use ladies room. Have ordered yam bread to go AND WAS AMAZED with its texture and flavour! I back last wknd to get it again , was able to buy very last piece 5/5 , liked it warmed better! No additional sugar added , perfect sweetness . This place seems busy , would love to try their beverages next time :) Good and fast service , recommending! read more
Bright and clean coffee shop right next to the court house in Downtown Vancouver. Serves exclusively Kona coffee which gets expensive but it's so worth the occasional splurge. Lillikoi bread has poppy seeds and also a bright, fruity flavor that holds up to the rich coffee. This place is a ray of sunshine in the rainy city of Vancouver. Only downside is the price, but Kona coffee doesn't come cheap. Not an everyday place for me. read more

I went here with my friend last sunday for a coffee. Interior looked so nice and clean the moment we walked in. Even washroom was clean too. I ordered Caramel Macchiato(small $4.65) while my buddy G got organic Green Tea (around $5) they were good. I personally find my drink too expensive, the size is equivalent to short size from Starbucks. It was tasty though. G told me he found his drink expensive as well. Service was fast and friendly. I'd like to rate at least 4stars if the pricing was good. Felt like the drinks were so expensive. Great experience, however I'd rather go to Starbucks or another coffee shop with lower price. Felt so ripped off. read more

This is one of my favorite coffee places in the downtown core area! tasty coffee creations and extremely friendly staff make this place a great caffeine option when you are downtown. The area feels nice and spacious since it opens up into the lobby of an office building and to an outside space. I tried both the 100% Kona Coffee and Kona Coffee Wai'ono meadows pour overs. both delicious! food options are not extensive but all seem to have a Hawaiian twist (think Macadamia nut chocolate chip cookies, salad with lillikoi dressing, pineapple croissants). I tried the chocolate eclair and thought it was tasty! they also have a line of teas made special for the store which look good though did not try yet. Lovely place run by lovely people! read more

Stopped by here to do some sketching and note-taking, and also just to try a new coffee shop. I went for a mocha and a cookie, which are some of my favourite coffee shop staples, though it seems like this place does have some unique desserts and seasonal warm drinks that might be worth trying next time! The mocha had a fairly nice balance of coffee and cacao flavours, but I found it a bit too sweet for my taste. And I got a double-chocolate salted toffee cookie, which had a great texture and also tasted pretty good but too sweet. Overall I felt like other coffee shops make the same kinds of things with less sugar, which I prefer. The space itself was very wide-open and quite inviting, and the staff were quick and friendly. There weren't a lot of seats that felt comfortable for a solo visitor, but it seems like a great place to hang out with friends for a bit. I'd like to come back to try some of their more unique specialties sometime! read more
One of my favorite Christmas songs is Mele Kalikimaka by Bing Crosby, it takes me back to the beaches of Hawaii, sipping on some delicious Hawaiian coffee beans, listening to some soft tunes and hearing the waves crash. Since I can't be there every Christmas, I like to head over to Honolulu Coffee in Vancouver for a fun flavored espresso beverage and a fun place to pretend you are actually on the beach. Be sure to check out all their coffee beans to buy in store, ranging from $9 and up for items like their limited edition Christmas blend to their Kona Estate collection. They do make some of the finest coffee beans in the world, it's absolutely delicious. Loving this limited edition Mele Kalikimaka holiday mug, perfect for the holidays, and a great gift! Also loving this gift set of Hawaiian coffee with their Christmas Blend, Makahiki blend and the Kona Estate Selection! They also have some super fun socks, tumblers and totes that are great gift ideas for the holidays! Their coffee is yummmmy and I'm loving their banana and guava bread. Just wish their Broadway location was still open! read more

My friend and I decided to try this new coffee shop after lunch. This coffee shop has a good location on Nelson Street and it is very spacious having a big counter/cashier, retail space, and seating areas. The ambience is causal and comfortable. It is a great place to have a cup of coffee, try their pastries/sandwiches, sit and chat with friends. I ordered a small hot Hawaiian latte and my friend ordered a small hot chai latte. The Hawaiian latte tasted wonderful with some hazelnut flavour, espresso and milk. I wouldn't be able to find this flavour at other coffee shops yet. It was quite special as far as I know. However, although my friend ordered a hot chai latte, it was not hot enough. She had to ask a barista to make another one. Due to the location, the pricing of the coffee and beverages is a bit more expensive than others. If my friends would like to come here to chill and have a coffee together, I wouldn't mind to come back to this coffee shop. read more

Love this place. If I lived near it, I would make a weekly visit. I cannot explain how good the vegetarian quiche is. It is TO DIE FOR. After I tried it, I went the next day to get another piece but they were sold out. This is a hot commodity so get it while its HOT (seriously). Also, their coffee is extremely good. read more
The Hawaiian latte was amazing! The place wasn't busy when I went here before dinner and I like how it was decorated. Service was friendly and quick. Place was clean. There was some random guy walking in who kept yelling "No cheating!" to a group of girls studying. That's not the fault of this coffee joint but the bad wireless connection is. read more

Lots of space to work out of!! For those wondering, THERE ARE PLUGS!! Woo! There are multiple seats with plugs so you can definitely work there for the whole day. The main table however does not have plugs I got ice Hawaiian latte, and it was delicious. It has coconut and macadamia nuts. For cold drinks, there's only once size. The staff were really friendly and the space was really clean. Lots of yummy restaurants around as well, with Gyu kaku and Guu garden right next to it! Would recommend! However, the space was definitely not as "naturally" bright as I had hope since there is a big wall next to the area with plugs. But other than that, the overall experience was great! read more

Finally a coffee shop that has a small size that is actually small! Tasted fresh and hot just the way I like it. Comparatively lighter than most Starbucks coffees with nice roasted notes & medium light acidity. Super fresh and delicious! Worth mentioning, the banana bread is perfect in size, taste, mouth feel. Yum in the tum :) read more

Found this cute little shop on Yelp when I was craving some latte. The name stood out to me since it had "Honolulu" in it which reminded me of Hawaii and Kona coffee! The location of the shop had a LA vibe and the inside has many tables for hanging out or studying. I ordered the ice Hawaiian latte with soy. After I took a sip, the sweet and nutty mixture of coconut and macadamia hit my taste buds and I was instantly blown away. It had a perfect balance of sweetness. This is one of the best lattes I've ever had. Too bad I live in LA or I'd be coming here pretty frequently. I definitely recommend stopping by and checking this place out if you're craving some delicious latte! read more
Clean, crisp interior! Really reminiscent of Hawaii with the shades of blue/green, white & wooden accents. Great place to read or study. I ordered the Hawaiian latte, kona coffee pour over & the pineapple coconut croissant. I'll have to give other pastries a try.. or maybe the desserts. The croissant wasn't anything great.. pretty much just tasted like a croissant topped with custard, pineapple chunks and coconut flakes. Nothing made it stand out. I'll be back to order the drinks though! The Hawaiian latte had a perfect macadamia nut/coconut flavor. I ordered mine half sweet, non-fat and thought it was perfect. The kona coffee pour over was also great quality and reminds me of Hawaii. Will be back to try more pastries and drinks - it's on the pricier side though. read more
Woohoo! This is some strong coffee. We ordered two cups of the pour coffee, one regular Kona and one of the estate blend. I was wired for hours, have not had this feeling since last time on the Big Island. They also have a food menu, options were limited in the morning to pastries and sandwiches so got a chocolate croissant. Was OK. Would return for coffee and they also have fast WiFi. read more

I've been going to several of their locations for quite some time. Their cafe on Nelson is not so easily seen if you're driving by and only paying attention to what's infront of you; which I would imagine is the responsible way to drive. Upon entering the cafe, you are greeted by their nicely spaced seating arrangement. It's not cramped like some other well known cafes in town. There are Campers, so you'll get your working Mojo Vibe on, if that's your thing. Very nice atmosphere for relaxing or working. I'll definitely be back soon. Atmosphere: 4.5/5 Excellent for (camping) working! Seating: 5/5 Spacious. Coffee: 4.5/5 Excellent! Americanos are smooth. Loyalty: 5/5 Buy any 10 coffee drinks and get 1 free! read more

Found this cute coffee shop through Yelp! I ordered an iced Hawaiian Latte based off the reviews. It was nutty and sweet, super tasty! It costed around $6 CAD (~4.76 USD) which isn't bad, probably cheaper than Starbucks. I wanted to order a breakfast sandwich but they were all sold out except for the one with mushroom (I hate mushroom, so pass). The coffee shop has plenty of seating but limited power outlets. So if you're coming here to use your computer, make sure to scope around before you sit down. The noise level is typical for a coffee shop. I probably wouldn't come here if I needed to fully concentrate on studying but if you're able to cancel out the noise you should come! Overall, good coffee and cute interior. read more

Cute coffee shop in the downtown area with simple and fresh decor and fragrant smell of kona coffee as soon as you walk in. It sure does brings you back to Hawaii! I ordered the Kona frost and it was very refreshing for a hot summer day. It has a hint of macadamia and coconut flavour but kept light. Very nice caffinated beverage for a cool down. Hoping to try their other menu items in my next visit! read more

This place is great for a coffee (we didn't try the food), it has a great outdoor seating area that removes you from the busyness of the city and super cute decor inside. Also, it has a cute selection of merchandise for sale. read more
Took advantage of a $5 coupon and ordered a Matcha Latte with Soy Milk. Even with the coupon, I ended up paying around $2. I'm glad I had the discount because the drink was small (12 oz) and not worth $7. The drink tasted pretty good. I like how creamy and smooth the latte is and wasn't overly sweet. Though I wished the matcha flavour was stronger. This cafe is pretty roomy so would be a good option for meetings or longer stays. However, with so many cafes in the Downtown area I think the price point is a tad high. read more

Can't go wrong with a Hawaiian Latte! I'm more of a vanilla latte lover, but was pleasantly surprised how much I liked the macadamia nut and coconut syrups! Coming from the other Vancouver, USA we don't have a Hawaiian cafe so this reminded me of my time spent in Hawaii! Reasonably priced, delicious and was of walking distance from our hotel! When I'm back in Canada I'll be visiting again! read more
