Absolutely delicious!! Great coffee shop right on the beach that is walkable. Inside is welcoming and love the warm wood tones and cool blue. Sets you in the mood for the beach and beautiful Oahu! Got a large Kai coffee and açaí bowl. Along with 3 shots of expresso. The coffee is absolutely divine! Nothing like it. So smooth and delicious. The açaí bowl was a good portion size. The fruit on top was fresh and the granola had a good crunch. The açaí itself was cold and refreshing. Solid coffee shop that is in the heart of Waikiki. read more

Great view by the beach. Enjoyed the Kai Latte with oat milk. My son had the açaí bowl, which was tasty. Very fresh coffee. Service was slow due to having only one staff member, but took advantage of the wait by enjoying the view. read more

We parked in the Waikiki mall Parking garage and wanted to try the vintage coffee shop but it had a long wait. We opted for the Kai Coffee kiosk. The young man working was very friendly and efficient. I ordered a latte with almond milk and a small coffee with cream. The latte was actually really tasty. I noticed the lattes on the island tend to be watered down but not here! They had a few tables in from if the kiosk for guests to sit and some in front on the Main Street. I would definitely recommend. They did charge $1 extra for the almond milk but that was clearly advertised. read more

Great coffee and amazing Açai bowls! We also ordered the veggie sandwich wrap which was also very tasty! There was a line out the door and we arrived at around 7:30 AM! Wil be visiting again before we leave ! Ambulance is calm and nice area to sit outside and inside ! read more

Great breakfast options. The BLT was lacking & the bacon was very flaccid. The meat wrap was delicious but only contained one potato.

Decided to try out this coffee spot instead of Starbucks.. and wished I would've just gone to Starbucks. Got there about 630 and waited about 20 minutes. For what they're serving, I think they are overpriced.. IMO. It was my turn to order and I asked the gal at the register what they had brewed for decaf, she looked puzzled at me. So I asked again, what do you guys have for decaf coffee? She said we don't. I said do you have decaf espresso? She said yes, I said ok, I will take a medium americano. The barista outing the shots had to come over and help her, asked how many shots I wanted and I said two. And normally I would order with oat milk, but Kai coffee charges $1 extra! No thanks.. Espresso was meh. I recommend going somewhere else. read more

We stopped in on a mission to get acai bowls for lunch. The kids ended up trying breakfast wraps, and breakfast sandwiches with meat. They were very happy. Generous portions. Parents shared an acai bowl, and a Kona Latte, macadamia and cream flavors. Excellent balance of flavors in the latte, just the right amount of sweetness and macadamia while letting the coffee flavors above. This location is super clean. Tables inside are limited and there is seating outside. We shared a farm table with other customers. read more

Got a Caramel Frappe with oat milk, they said they couldn't put coffee in it since the frappe with coffee is pre made, which I get. But after receiving it, it was just blended oat milk with a shaved ice texture with chunks and no flavor. Do not recommend :( read more

Delicious coffee. I had the iced Macadamia nut latte with macadamia nut coffee. The line is pretty long in the morning but that's what expected especially being right in front of the beach. There's good seating inside and outside. The staff was friendly and helpful. read more

Do you know prices? Guess it first! There is no pricing anywhere for foods until you order. Cappuccino was not good. Veggie wrap was the smallest portion in my life and paid $13.50 I just wanted to support a local coffee shop instead chain coffee shops but unfortunately didn't worth! Im not rating 1 star because of nice view and people who works here! read more

food: can't complain! everything is good and light! i would say it's on the pricier side, but if you're here on vacation u should be expecting to pay overpriced prices service: the staff was extremely kind every time i came in to get something ambiance: i love that it's across the street from the beach! they keep it pretty open so there are pigeons who come in occasionally read more

Great food and coffee. We tried both, veggie wrap and meat wrap. Really liked it. Was almost a daily stop for us while in Waikiki.

Great coffee slowest coffee shop on the entire island. Literally 30 minutes minimum for a latte good luck if you are getting food

I love this coffee shop, there was a long line but it moved fast. The food was good, i really enjoyed their ham and cheese the most. The strawberry and banana crepe was good but was a little hard. The acai bowl was the perfect amount. The mocha frap has to be the best on island I had. It was smooth and creamy. Also ask for kaama'aina discount :) read more

The line is really long in the mornings. I had to wait 45 minutes for 2 cups of coffee T.T But a top I got from a local is to go to the little shop across the street. They sell the exact same coffee and there's barely ever a line. You can also sit and get a nice view of the beach while you sip on coffee. read more

So important to maintain optimal cAMP levels w/ Kai Coffee natural phosphodiesterase inhibitors and part of this complete breakfast! Chris' expert barista art alone is worth the trip to Waikiki! When he belowed my name, for a moment I thought I was back on the set for John Wick! Luckily no tangos where there to dance. BLT. Gorgeous dark leafy greens avec tomatoes. The bacon and garlic aoili were splendiferous. Nothing dit bon matin comme beacoup bacon! Très Americain which I am. And proud! Deluxe Breakfast Sandwich. Bacon, Ham, Egg, Cheese w/ a Garlic Aoili! Wowza! In truth I expected less, but at Kai Coffee I got more. Fun fact for the fellas: Garlic, dark green leafies, and meats are part of the arginine-citrulline-nitric oxide pathway for optimized athletic performance. C'est vrai! Would order everything again!

I just read some of the recent Coffee reviews. The coffee sounds delicious but on our last trip, we didn't really enjoy our flavored latte with oat milk. It was kind of bland and we like super strong coffee so the latte was not a good choice for us. But this place has one of the best locations to sit and chill with a view of the beach. I kept seeing the picture of their Acai bowl as we passed so we had to stop for the acai bowl. The Acai tastes great with berries & banana slices. It's acai in a cup which seems kind of pricey but you're paying for the view. I love acai so I would stop for it again and the view. read more

Not great, but after 2 days of omelets and pancakes we wanted to ease up on the cholesterol, lol. Also didn't have time to wait this morning. So we joined the line at Kai Coffee. The açaí bowl was satisfying and tasty, if a bit sweeter than I'd prefer. The scone of the day, blueberry cream cheese, was yuck. Lots of cream cheese, barely a berry. The coffee was weak. So this is sounding more like 2 stars than 3, but all around us, people were loving their breakfast sandwiches. We don't eat meat, so there's just one meatless option and we chose the açaí bowls instead. I guess if you're a meat eater, you'd like this place better. read more

Coffee was great. Got a flat white and wife got a pour over. The line was a little long at 6:30 but worth it. Don't waste your money on the açaí bowl. $13 for a bitty itty bowl. Really? The pic was deceiving. And it was mewh. However the coffee was good. The service was good and friendly. And heck you are right on the beach. Worth it if you are in Waikiki otherwise I'm sure you can find some good brew. read more

I woke up super early for an early flight to Honolulu so I was somewhat jet lagged when I got to the hotel. After a quick nap, I came here and ordered a large iced Kai latte. Customer service was good but I thought the drink just wasn't the same as I had first tried it a few years back. The drink wasn't cold enough and it didn't have any macadamia nut flavor to it. read more

Kai Coffee - Large iced Kai latte - Creperies Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Good place to grab a breakfast sandwich and coffee to eat on the beach. The order/pickup FIFO queue is very well organized - much better than a crowd of people waiting for their names to be shouted out. I had an Americano and a veggie breakfast wrap. Both were good. Price was similar to a standard breakfast or wrap at a nearby sit-down restaurant, a little less food here but the coffee and view were better. read more

I visited Kai coffee again as it's convenient if you're hanging out on Waikiki beach. This location is right across the one from the plaza, and lines are just as long. The reason for the long line is they only had two people working when I was there on a Sunday morning. Both were cashiers, making coffees, and also prepping breakfast foods like sandwiches and açaí bowls. If they hired one more person (just a cashier) it would easily make the line go faster. They do this at the other location across the street so not sure why they don't do the same at this location. ESP with two workers who have to switch back and forth with taking orders, making coffee, and prepping food. Ordered the Kai latte again and enjoyed it. read more

what is hawaii famous for.... kona coffee... the coffee is supposedly really really really good that its worth paying 2x or 3x... im a coffee snob now. a bit over zealous and have become somewhat of an addict.. i drink 3 cups every day by pour over... some times more... just a little background before i get into the coffee reviews.. i've had kona, yemen, jamaican blue mountain, costa rica, brazil, geisha coffee, etc had them all. except for the cat poo. i think there is a price fixing going on here that every where you go, the coffee beans are the same price??? 12oz for $55 or 6oz for $25-30 well, i can get kona for $25/lb so, i didnt buy any beans at all, just got a cup to see how it taste like everywhere i give this place 3 stars cuz I was surprise the price was lower than the other places relatively speaking of course. its 2x compare to abc but it was cheaper than other places considering that it was in the hyatt or hilton or some high end hotel. the sandwich was good. of course, i also consider it was $13.25 .. i think i got one in paris train station for $2 euro that was better. sorry, that was the last time I got a caprese bagguette sandwich. and paris was way better and way cheaper... the coffee. well, it was $7.25 for a cup of pour over... wow! regular drip was about $4 .. got the peaberry, and I was surprise.. not sure if it was the bean or the person doing the pour over. it was a little disappointing. slight sour after taste as well. but, it was not bad. also, i realize my coffee is better.... usually, kona does not have sour taste. only african coffee or lighter roast would get the sourness. i aint buying any beans!!! i got better and cheaper stuff at home... coffee ok, service good, and saves me time and money now that I realize i got better and cheaper stuff. read more

The Cappuccino and Crepe were great. I like that they do drink art on top of their hot drinks. There was a good amount of strawberry and bananas in the crepe. I just wish they had pricing on their breakfast items. Only the drinks had prices listed. There is a nice view of the beach across the street. They have tables outside. The line to order can be out the door during the morning rush. read more

Nice local spot for coffee in Waikiki. Try any beverage that has macadamia nuts (when in Hawaii right?) but the iced macadamia nut latte with low fat milk was pretty tasty. Didn't go all the way and substituted milk for macadamia nut milk. A bit pricey and they can get busy so you may have to not only wait to order but your food items may take longer to prepare. We had the ham and cheese crepe and turnover with egg and Portuguese sausage and both were good. read more

Be prepared to wait, as there's often a long line--testament to the popularity and sorta remind me of Starbucks. This is located outside of Alohilani resort where we were staying at. They had crepes and breakfast but I only came for some pick me upper.. Service is good Cute stuff like expresso cups to buy... Ordered matcha ice and didn't like it. Way too milky in my opinion. There's few seating inside and tables outside but gets filled up fast. I came here 6:30am to avoid the crowds. Next time I'll stick to my Kai latte. read more

When visiting Hawaii, most if not some will recommend you Kai Coffee. Here's my take on Kai coffee. Lines will always be long but they work very fast and efficient. Service that they provide is not the best, which nowadays is typical (unfortunately). Staying there in Waikiki I had there Kai coffee iced latte a couple of times. Overall the coffee is a solid 7/10. Think of it as a strong but smooth coffee. Sometimes it does taste a little stronger for some reason lol. I also had their acai bowls, for the price of $13 I liked it! Solid 9/10 read more

Good, tasty option that's consistent and plentiful throughout the Waikīkī area. When in Hawaii, why not support local businesses?

Coffee was just ok. Ambiance was nice, cool, and tropical. Lines were long, so was expecting something a little more interesting or exciting with taste or maybe service due to the extra long lines but nothing special. The drinks were 75% ice so couldn't even mix the matcha at the bottom of the cup. If you can get your coffee fix elsewhere! read more
