Eric L.

This place can get very busy during peak hours. Maybe the best açaí bowl in Waikiki. The waitress recommended the taro bagel and it did not disappoint. It came with a ube frosting and it was something I would order again.

Papaya boat
Sandra N.

This location in particular is quite crowded even on weekdays. The line will die down towards the middle of the afternoon so I would avoid mornings. They offer a bit of indoor and outdoor seating. They also offer a small selection of souvenirs like mugs and honey jars. Pro tip: you can order the food at their wine bar location right next door. Braised beef loco moco- 4/5 Some parts of the braised beef were melt in your mouth tender while other parts were more on the drier side. The gravy is a bit on the blander side in my opinion. Not bad but not the best loco moco I've had. Papaya boat with almond butter & goji berries- Papaya was sweet and refreshing served cold, but heavily doused in almond butter. Ratio was off in my opinion but it was still enjoyable. It felt wasteful to just toss the rest of the almond butter. Perhaps a side of cracker or two papaya halves should be served for the amount of almond butter. Prices were high. $9 for a cup of coffee and all of the food is over $15 each. Island Vintage serves a wide selection of food, coffee and acai bowls at very Hawaiian prices. I do feel there are better places to eat on the island but if you're already in the area and theres no line, I would say go for it. I wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes for it though.

Liliko'i Moana Bowl
Ailun H.

Despite the temperamental rain and wind, the line of tourists extended outside Island Vintage Coffee, and my friends and I were still down to wait. After ordering, we were fortunately able to grab a table indoors to enjoy our afternoon sweet treats. LILIKO'I MOANA BOWL - 15.25 I really like liliko'i, so I immediately gravitated toward this acai bowl. It was on the smaller side at 16 oz, but topped generously with strawberry, papaya, banana, liliko'i honey, and organic granola. It was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I did enjoy the variety of fruit toppings! My friend got the mango smoothie, which she thought was fine. Overall, Island Vintage Coffee isn't a bad spot for acai, but I can't say it was my favorite in Waikiki.

I make sure to stop by this delicious coffee shop every time I'm in Waikiki or in the island at their other locations the aloha from the drinks to the staff was warm and wonderful. A cup of aloha to start off the day before seeing the sunrise on Waikiki beach is simply blissful and amazing

Natania C.

Was a really busy spot. I'd recommend anything with papaya - their papaya is really fresh. The cream was absolutely delicious. Perhaps a little too much acai relative to the toppings, but some might argue that you can never have too much acai.

Bacon and Egg Bagel
Victoria W.

My partner and I came here twice for breakfast on our trip. Both days we were able to get seated as soon as we arrived. The servers and hosts were very friendly and welcoming. For our first meal, we ordered the Braised Beef Loco Moco, the Lox of Bagel, the Cacao Moana Acai Bowl, the Island Latte, and the Acai Smoothie. The braised beef loco moco was delllllish. The meat was so tender and flavorful. The lox of bagel tasted very fresh. I ordered the purple potatoes on the side and wow...they were so sweet and crispy. The island latte was yummy! A little too sweet for my usual coffee order but I was on vacation. Hehe. The cacao moana acai bowl was by far my favorite thing I ordered. Just the presentation alone was awesome. The flower was such a pretty detail. But the flavor, of course, was what brought me back the next day to get it again. Our second meal here we got the Bacon Breakfast Bagel, the Kalua Pork Benedict, the Hawaiian Honey Latte, and the Cacao Moana Acai Bowl (AGAIN). I recommend the Hawaiian Honey Latte over the Island Latte. The Kalua pork benedict was SO GOOD. The pork was very moist and the portion was huge. I will absolutely come back here when I return to Oahu one day :)

Pretty standard coffee shop in Waikiki. It's located upstairs and if you sit on the patio it kind of feels like you're in a treehouse. The strawberry matcha was delicious. I would come back but I feel like the price is quite high, a bit higher than LA prices

Chloe A.

We loved Island Vintage Coffee. The location is beautiful, especially the patio overlooking the shopping street. It's such a nice place to sit outside, have coffee, and take a break from walking around Waikiki. We shared the turkey avocado panini with sweet potato fries and it was delicious. I also really liked that they have a full food menu with plenty of good options, so it feels like more than just a coffee stop. The Hawaiian coffee was the standout for me though. It was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. Definitely somewhere I would come back to for breakfast, lunch, or coffee.

Island Latte
Raiza B.

Visiting for 1 week and I came here 3 times. Ordered the iced island latte all three times! If there's a line, it goes by quickly. Can get pretty busy in the mornings but they will have someone help call out orders when they're ready. Staff is so friendly. If you can't get a table at the cafe, there's a nice outdoor area to enjoy your coffee.

Hot/Cold Island Latte...delicious!!!
Elizabeth S.

This review is only for Coffee. I was almost hesitant to make the line just for Coffee, but I'm so glad I did. First of all, they have a really efficient operation, so the wait to order was minimal. Then you go to another section to wait for your order and considering the people waiting, it wasn't bad at all. The only thing is it was a little crowded to check out their merchandise and let me tell you. I eyed alot of cute things! I had the Island Latte hot and my daughter had it cold and both were SO GOOD, with Macadamia Nut and a hint of Coconut. Well worth the wait!

Menu
Jessica M.

Island Vintage Coffee Loved the order-ahead option--it made everything so easy! Customer service was great, and they moved quickly. My order was ready in less than 30 minutes, which I really appreciated. Everything was smooth and convenient, although I will say it's definitely on the pricier side. Overall, a great experience and I'd come back!

Jody M.

Delicious acai bowls and amazing coffee! Stopped here around 6am and there was already a line. It was worth the wait and we had a lovely view while we ate. I had a macadamia latte and my daughter had an amazing ube milkshake. We shared a açaí bowl with peanut butter and coco nibs that was the best I ever had.

Pineapple-Mint Moana Bowl
Melia R.

I think we came here three or four times during our trip! My bf and I became obsessed with their acai bowls for a late night treat since they close later on! My bf's go-to was the acai bowls with lilikoi honey, which was so phenomenal. I always ordered the acai bowl with pineapple mint sorbet, which was absolutely delicious and so refreshing in the hawaii heat! I also tried the frozen taro drink, which was basically what you can get at any boba shop. Regardless, it was still a delicious drink. The service is super fast and the staff were super friendly. I also loved the way that the cafe was decorated, and how convenient the location was. I miss it already! Absolutely recommend their acai bowls.

This place can be for any occasion whether for a date night or a hangout with friends. The place can be kinda small so big groups might have some difficulty, but they do have a private room upstairs if you want to inquire. The round table also isn't the greatest for sharing multiple plates so eat accordingly So far my must orders have been the Basil Caesar Salad with Crispy Chicken (this is coming from a salad non-enthusiast), the Fete spread and Steak Tartare (especially with their anchovy buttered toast - chefs kiss!), the Crispy Potatoes, and their Roasted Carrots (which apparently is off-menu). I typically love most of their pasta dishes but the last time I had their Carbonara, it was pretty salty... but nonetheless, good vibes all around!

Just sprinkle some salt and it would be perf. - Chopped - All kine goodies in this salad but the dressing was very "nothing." I added some garlic salt when I ate the leftovers and it kicked it up a notch. - Chicken Pappardelle - The pasta was terrible. So thick and doughy. Took away from the chicken which was okay. Ended up dumping the leftover pasta...which was pretty much the whole thing. - Oxtail Mac & Cheese - This was more like an Oxtail Helper (like Hamburger Helper). Very not cheesey. Baby ate some but think she wanted more cheese. Tasted better the next day. Friends had the Prime. The temp on each was given to the wrong person, which needed to be right since 1 person didn't get the roasted pot. The medium-rare one was cold. Like COLD. Strange. Overall think they fell a little short on the food. Some things GREAT, some thing the opposite, so balanced out. Will I go back? Of course, but now I know what not to get.

Overall, the drinks have been good with a variety of seasonal drinks and specials as well. I'll probably return for my coffee fix as it seems to be one of the few coffee shops in the area open on Sundays. Happy Drinking!

But there's a difference between overpriced and just plain getting ripped off... I really wish we took a picture of our meal but it was early morning and we have a 5 month old now for this trip so it didn't cross my mind to. We order a chicken and waffle, with a side of Portuguese sausage. We've been to Liliha Bakery a few times so the portions have always been pretty big and shareable. Man, let me describe the sad piece of meal and experience we received. It was a thin maybe quarter-itch waffle with a 4 piece nugget size mediocre fried chicken in the center (think little Chick-fil-A nugget pieces). Topped with 2 strawberries sliced in quarters around. Pathetic meal for $22 you would mistake for a kid's menu item. Top that with the NINE DOLLAR side of Portuguese sausage that was a sad, small snack size amount, truly should cost $4 at most for this add-on. To add insult to injury, we were also looking forward to those little biscuits and jelly they serve before your meal and we were told those are only served if we ordered rice dishes and $22 entree doesn't quality - how does that even make any sense?? We left paying $45 dollars for a kids meal and left to get food to fill us somewhere else. I get Hawaii is expensive once you're here, but this was just robbery. We liked Liliha bakery; but after this visit, we'll never be returning here again
