I finally managed to take a photo of Lucille's creation! Trust me when I tell you she not only knows how to perfectly construct a perfectly balanced açaí bowl but she treats you like a guest in her home I really appreciate I get to put my order in through the toast app and request it made once I get there and get my coffee first. Everyone is great here but some just leave a special imprint. The sweet girl who gets everyone's coffee orders out was also another one! She continuously made sure I had everything I needed. Huge smile and it was a great start to my day! They are extremely busy so the fact that they put those extra touches are huge. I won't go anywhere else! Get the Mona Kea and the Haupia açaí bowl. You won't regret it! The jumbo shrimp salad is another favorite of mine! You can't go wrong with anything you order here..try the Ube bagel! read more

The place's so popular that it always seemed jammed packed every time I passed by including the two times I went there. The space was cute with indoor open space that gave outdoorsy vibe. Nonetheless, the crowd was probably the downside especially if the prior guess didn't clean up their table and you had no choice but to do it to take their seats as the servers seemed to be too busy to do so. Pre-order's a no brainer given how long the line was and how quick you could get your order by doing so. I got their Waialua Moana Acai Bowl, whose base was mainly acai, apple juice, and almond milk. The base was not adjustable but the toppings were! The default was granola, berries, banana, cacao nibs, honey, and PB. I loved it as the acai was so fresh and so did the fruits. My highlight being a PB addict was certainly the coconut PB which was just so good with right blend of salty and sweet flavors. I went for their Taro Bagel with ube cream cheese and haupia (coconut) cream the second time and I loved both those spreads particularly the ube! The bagel was okay but those spreads certainly elevated it. I added extra PB just because my first one got me sold. As for the drinks, we got their Island Latte, their version of the Mac Nut Latte, which certainly wasn't disappointing. Overall I thought IVC was bit pricey yet worth trying to taste the iconic Hawaiian brunch featuring signature local ingredients. read more

This was my first time at Island Vintage Coffee, but it was a pretty solid experience. They are definitely a busy location! The line when we got there was long, but it wasn't too terrible of a wait unless you're starving! We waited about 20 minutes before getting to the front to place our orders. There's limited seating, so majority of people who placed orders ordered takeaways. The staff were polite and had recommendations ready if you weren't sure what you wanted to order. There are quite a bit of merch and packaged coffees inside the shop that you can buy. Their menu also offers ample varieties such as sandwiches, poke bowls, pastries, breakfast items, coffees and non-coffee drinks! I was pretty hungry after working night shift, so I opted for a wagyu-mushroom burger and a ginger peach iced tea. The burger came with side salad and fries, which I dipped in an aioli sauce (delicious!). The entire meal was absolutely delectable and filling! I was absolutely ready for a nap after my lunch. One of my friends is vegan, and she was very happy with their vegan/vegetarian options in case anyone was wondering! Overall, I had a pretty good experience and would definitely want to come back! read more

A busy spot for coffee, breakfast, and acai bowls. We got the panda vanilla latte, matcha latte, acai bowls and a breakfast bagel with taro bagel. Drinks were i think 3/5 for me but the breakfast bagel and acai bowls were my favorites. The breakfast bagel was so delicious - bread was toasty outside but so soft inside, the fresh ingredients were so good as well. The acai bowl had really yummy granola and it was one of the best I've ever had jsut cause it wasn't as sweet as we have it here in LA. Could get busy so just make sure you secure your tables before you order if you want to eat there. read more

We found ourselves coming here every single day during our Hawaii trip and that says a lot. Whether it was a morning açaí bowl for breakfast, a quick snack (sometimes paired with fries), or even lunch, this place never missed. Açaí bowls might seem like just a breakfast thing, but honestly, you can enjoy one any time of day here. They're incredibly satisfying, fresh, flavorful, and filling without feeling heavy. It hits that perfect balance of healthy and delicious, and always leaves you feeling refreshed. Also, don't skip the TARO Bagel with Ube Cream Cheese and Vegan Haupia Cream, it's seriously so good and a must-try. Pro tip: you can place your order online, which makes everything even faster. No need to stand in line to order, which is a huge plus. By the end of the trip, this spot became a must-have daily stop for us. ^^, read more

I have to admit this was an impulse stop for me and Jamie W. We were strolling along always-busy Kalakaua Avenue and getting peckish as we passed by the Royal Hawaiian Center. Island Vintage was a familiar local chain. While we've had their mountainous shaved ice creations before, we had not patronized the cafe upstairs. It was a balmy day, so it was a given we'd get cold coffee drinks preferably with a Hawaiian twist. So I went for the $8.75 Frozen Banana Kona Mocha, while Jamie had the $8.95 Iced Island Latte. Mine was more coffee adjacent, while Jamie's was made with macadamia nut with a hint of coconut (Photo 9). Definitely hit the spot, but we were really drawn to one item we decided to share, the $19.95 Mango Peanut Butter Sandwich. It was an enticing temptation for us, coconut peanut butter covered with fresh mango slices drizzled with organic raw white honey, all of it between toasted slices of cranberry walnut bread (Photo 8). Liked it but didn't quite love it because it was a bit high on the sweet meter. COFFEE / FOOD - 4 stars...appropriately Hawaiian treats on a hot day AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...pretty touristy if you know what I mean SERVICE - 4 stars...definitely tried TOTAL - 4 stars...if chains don't bother you RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

Located upstairs, pretty easy to find since there are signs upfront! There is usually a line to order, but it goes by fairly quickly. Honestly, the setup of this place really reminds me of Urth Caffe. A wide variety of menu items, order and pickup system, and seating. Most of the seating is outside, and beware of the birds because they're hovering around waiting for food to drop lol. We ordered a round of coffees. I got to try the macadamia iced coffee latte, which was really sweet. I would say coffee is also pretty subtle, you can taste moreso of the macadamia nut syrup, but it was just sweet coffee. So it was alright. We also got to try the poke here with salad, honestly, it was just alright. It was about $25 and I wouldn't say it's worth getting this here. I would imagine it to be a bigger size for that prize, but it was pretty standard. Flavors were also pretty standard, but it was not WOW. Although, the acai bowl was my favorite here! It was very refreshing and smooth. The granola was also very nice and crunchy! Overall, it's a nice spot to get everything here. I would definitely get the acai bowls from here again. read more

If you are waiting in line, just know that there is an option to order for pickup. There is a sign at the door, but it is unhelpful because the line goes way out the door. Personally, I wouldn't go here again. I got the island latte and it was so sweet I ended up throwing it away. read more

Stopped in here almost every morning. Protip: order online and pick up. You get to skip the line. Wired really well for us. If you aren't ordering online try and come early as the line can get insanely long. Island lattes were my go to and such a wonderful start to my mornings. Coconut, macadamia combined perfect, The açaí bowls were delicious as well. Stacked with fresh fruit. Staff was always really nice. Most mornings we'd walk over and grab stuff to take back to the hotel which was really close. But they have various tables for you to sit and eat at if you want to. There are also various nooks all around the restaurant in the main area of the mall/shopping center to sit and enjoy your coffee/meal. read more

Island Vintage Coffee is easily one of my favorite spots in all of Hawaiʻi. I love it so much that I recommend it to friends visiting, to my family, and I've even brought my fiancé twice. If you haven't been yet, you're genuinely missing out. Service - We had John as our server today and he was exceptional. Truly outstanding -- friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and incredibly patient, especially with us having a 2‑year‑old in tow. He deserves a raise. In general, the service here is consistently good and the staff are kind. Just keep in mind that they do get busy, so a little patience goes a long way. No one can be 100% upbeat every second, but they do their best. Food - I ordered the ahi sandwich today and it was delicious. I also always get the kale smoothie -- it never disappoints. Other must‑tries: their eggs Benedict, burgers, and açaí bowls. Honestly, you can't really go wrong with anything here. Portions are generous, and while the prices are on the higher side, the amount and quality of food make it feel worth it. Ambiance - Located on the second floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, right in the heart of Waikīkī. They offer two setups: a full‑service restaurant and a walk‑up counter where you order and find your own seat. It just depends on the experience you want. It's usually busy, so making a reservation is smart -- otherwise, just be prepared to wait a bit. Overall, I absolutely love this place and always recommend it. Part of me wishes I could keep it a secret, but they're just too good. read more

Good food but overpriced based on what I ordered. Don't be afraid to be selective of what you order here and expect a decently sized line. My husband heard this place was good, and it was very close to our hotel, so we had to give it a try. It's part of a shopping center, so naturally there is a lot of foot traffic and were met with a 20-minute line. The wait wasn't terrible since the weather was nice and it wasn't humid. There is quite a bit in the menu, so make sure to look it through while you're waiting. I was determined to get a loco moco since I haven't had that dish my whole trip. Ordering at the register was a breeze, and we managed to find a table for two tucked in a narrow spot behind a wall. If you have a bigger group, I recommend having someone scout out a table ahead of time. Wait for the food was probably the same length as the line but they do give fair warning at the top of the menu. For some reason our avocado toast came out a little later than the rest though. While the greens and all the ingredients looked fresh and crisp and were laid out in a lovely way, I couldn't help but realize I was paying $27 for basically two eggs, meat and rice. The meat was good, and it was definitely a juicer and thicker patty than what I'm used to with loco mocos, but it seems like the dish overall counts on you eating all the rice to get the sense of fullness that a dish almost costing $30 should get you. If, like me, you're trying to wane off rice, then maybe save getting this dish for another place. The side salad was a nice balance to the heaviness of the dish though, and I appreciate a little crunch with my greens. Th avocado toast was delightful, especially with the cranberry-walnut combo in the bread. The sweetness of the cranberry provides a temporary resting place from the garlic aioli, which they don't skimp on. Also a huge fan of the bed of arugula, since I love the fragrance it gives off before you even take a bite. Would definitely get again, and maybe add an egg if possible. read more

I absolutely loved this place. I ended up going about five times for breakfast and dinner during the week I was here. The Island Latte is genuinely one of the best lattes I've ever had. The açaí bowl with haupia on top is so good, and the taro bagel with haupia and ube spread was amazing. The employees were also super kind and efficient, which made me want to keep coming back every visit. I also love that it's right on the strip, so we always stop by for coffee whenever we're walking around. read more

I finally have a new favorite drink here aside from the famous island latte; it's their Pitaya smoothie which has mango, lilikoi, pineapple, pitaya, coconut milk and honey. The smoothie itself is beautiful with a vibrant dark purple/pink color topped with yellow passionfruit. It's so good and to me, a great morning starter and better alternative to their original Acai bowl. We did try their Acai bowl and it's good all around but honestly, I've had better. Their Kaui (strawberry and banana) and Mango guava smoothies are also delicious! My son loved them both. The smoothies are thick and creamy which is how I like them. They're so natural tasting and is a plus when you see the employees cutting the actual fruit and blending them together with natural honey. I want it again! read more

I sat on the outside balcony, which was perched above an area where they have beautiful landscape. I had the local latte that had a hint of macadamia.

Highly recommend don't worry about the line. read more

We tried this spot on our last day in Oahu. We were turned off at first by how crowded it was anytime of day, but we decided this would be a good chance to figure out what all the fuss was about. I had a great turkey and avocado sandwich and my dining companion had peanut butter and mango. Each sandwich came with an arugula salad. The service was fast, polite, and professional despite the crowd. The dining area inside and out is pretty small, but we were taking our meals to go so it worked out. The vibe was trendy. I wish we had tried this place sooner. read more

Island Vintage Coffee is a great breakfast choice. The restaurant does have a line but you can order online and pick up in store. It comes out relatively quickly but it does get packed. You can get coffee and food in the same line. Most people order ahead but if you're just getting coffee go inside for faster service. Ordered the mushroom Benedict it was pretty good. Wish they had more omelette or egg options. read more

As a local who's worked in Waikiki for most of my life, island vintage has one of the best açaí and coffee quality on the island. Mark, one of the barista is very positive but also enjoys his work. He's there almost everyday! The staff services are typically good, however I've had some bad experiences in the past. Usually part time workers who aren't passionate to work. Today I had their Açaí Smoothie. It's sweet but refreshing. I like the added raw honey walls because it doesn't sink to the bottom. It adds a more depth of flavor and sweetness. (I have a very big sweet tooth.) They top it off with bee pollen as well. The lines can get long, but their cashier is at the front so it goes by quickly. They sell some coffee gifts and other small stuff as well as a huge list of menus of different brunch options that is amazing in the middle of Waikiki. Huge thanks to the lady serving the drinks today. She was very kind and is always making sure my experience is amazing. I didn't get her name sadly but she's very sweet read more

The line came seem intimidating for brunch but it does go by pretty fast. I would just be prepared to know your order when you get up front because the menu is very extensive. After ordering there could be a lot of people waiting around for their order number so trying to hear for your name can be chaotic. The good news is if you miss it, they also have servers come around the seating area looking for your table number. Luckily it didn't take longer than 15 mins for the food to arrive Seating is mostly outdoors around the perimeter and front of the store. They do also have an order ahead portal. Ordering to-go is same and also need to listen for your number. Taro bagel with the ube spread was such a good combination!! Bagel was warm and toasted where you can actually taste the hint of taro. Pitaya acai bowl was very filling even though the cup it was served in didn't look big! It had all the textures of crunchy granola, chewy dried cherries, sweet fresh fruits, tart greek yogurt and refreshing açaí Can't wait to come back and try the papaya almond butter boat !!! read more

The local cafe checks off all the boxes! Great food variety - ranging from breakfast, lunch, smoothies, vegan options, coffee/tea, some pastries, and even shaved ice! Service goes fast, as it's more of a casual thing, order at register and seat yourself. Dishes do get picked up at your table, but it's not a typical restaurant service. Very easygoing, chill vibes. Looks like a popular local spot. Ordered many items amongst 7 people, everything was good! Came here twice on my family trip - breakfast and lunch! Some items we got are the avocado toast, mushroom burger, short ribs with cauliflower risotto, seared ahi, fish sandwich, açaí bowl, ginger chai, hojicha latte, hojicha with haupia, smoothies. Everything was delicious in its unique way, nothing was disappointing at all! Even the papaya is fresh and sweet! Even got a shaved ice too! Such fun flavors like lychee mint! read more

This is a very popular spot among tourists (yeah it's a tourist trap lol). We come here several times during our trip to Oahu. There are many other locations throughout Waikiki but we often find ourselves coming to this one because of it's convenient location. The biggest tip I can give you is to order online, and then start walking over. That way you just bypass the line and walk straight to the counter where you food/drink will already be waiting. Their island latte is what they're known for but their hojicha latte is something I fell in love with during my most recent trip. I got this thing 3 times!! If you like hojicha then this is a must try. They also have some darn amazing acai bowls too. Give these a try if you're looking for something refreshing! In terms of seating, they have seating available but it'll be hard to find a table when the line is very long. However, the turnover time is pretty good! Easy to talk and chat. Great for children. Decent ambiance. read more

Açaí bowls here are top notch. $15.99 may seem steep, but the bowls are so refreshing and a meal itself. Location in Waikiki is always crowded. There's only about 10 tables here, but there's a food court in the shopping center, so if you get to-go, you'll be able to find some benches around. I wish they would bring the location back to Ko'Olina by Aulani. That would be the BEST! read more

Order Online and beat the line... Some of my favorite coffee and açaí bowls on island. Love the macnut latte syrup flavor, and the espresso quality is bomb. Açaí bowls are great, and I switched it up and got the lilikoi moana this time. Papaya and passion fruit is so fresh, and love the granola, in that it isn't overly crunchy but adds a great texture. Will continue to come back, and again, avoid the line if you are only getting coffee and bowls. read more

Good coffee spot with several locations throughout Oahu. This location is in the mall & when I was waiting 1.5 hours to get into Stussy, I decided to order online to get coffee to go. & good thing I did because the line was ridiculous! They are also known for their Acai bowls which I am def going to try next time. Macadamia Kona Mocha: Delicious! read more

Small, cute, and busy cafe !! Gets crowded very quickly and seating can be really hard to find. - macadamia coffee: 6/10. watery and not very flavorful. Slight hint of coconut and macadamia. - lilikoi moana acai bowl: 8.5/10. Yummy! Super refreshing, freshly blended base with no sugar added. I love the fresh fruit toppings and the drizzle of passion fruit on top. Pairs so well together. Would definitely want to try another acai bowl from this place! read more

unfortunately only got to try their acai bowl but it was still pretty good! the acai and haupia ice cream were good, but just average. the fruits were the best part as they were so sweet and delicious. this is their largest size and it was roughly $20...a little pricey for what you're getting. service was nice and we waited a bit for our acai but even at night they were still a little busy. a casual spot with tons of seating and i'd hope to come back to try their other items. read more

We have started ordering ahead of time - since we don't want to wait in long lines and that has saved us a lot of time and frustration:) The staff is always super friendly and they have great music playing and it was a super cool vibe about it.

Ok ok so on my first day on the island my mom and I decided to eat lunch here. We both got Wagyu cheeseburger and it was oh so juicy. Thankfully, I decided to order an iced lavender latte with oat milk because it started my obsession for that specific drink. I walked to island vintage every single morning after ordering that same drink through the app (to avoid waiting in line for 40+ mins). Normally I'm really picky when it comes to coffee, but it was just on point and excellent every day! I also ended up trying multiple açai bowls of theirs, which I loved every single one of them. A great breakfast to start the day! All of the workers here are super friendly and it's such a cute place. I highly recommend them. read more

I stopped by Island Vintage on an early morning while suffering jet lag, I had been walking around exploring and remembered all the great reviews from Yelp when I passed by. I joined the long line and it moved quickly as they took everyone's orders. I ordered the Lilikoi Moana Bowl ($15.25) and the Island Latte ($8.75) and tried to stay out of the way until my order was ready. They do have a shop area, but it was really crowded and with the long line I wasn't even going to attempt to buy extra items. After a while my drink and bowl were ready and I grabbed a seat. The Lilikoi Moana bowl was amazing, so fresh and flavorful and I definitely could have shared it but ended up eating it all. The coffee was also delicious and not overly sweet, which is just the way I like it. I would definitely recommend braving the lines to try this spot out. read more

We came here a couple of times and the food is absolutely fantastic. We got acai bowls, vegan breakfast platters, and a mushroom Sandwich.

It's located in the Royal Hawaiian center upstairs. It tucked away in a little corner next to the trees with lots of shade.
