Definitely a lot of tourists here really don't know if this is what I wanna be surrounded by. LOL…read more But the cafe is beautiful. I love the art gallery and it gets pretty busy here. It's almost like you're transported into a different world when you walk in. Definitely more subdued and darker lighting which I don't mind at all, makes it very relaxed. Service was great at recommending me what drink to get and when I got there it was swamped. Props to the baristas for being able to handle the huge rush of people in the morning because I was shook at how crowded it got. The lavender latte I got was perfect mix of sweetness and bitterness of the coffee. Barista recommended me hot latte so I'm glad he did. Really enjoyed it and will definitely be back. Hopefully when it's not too crazy. Lol

I been stopping in here for years. Even though the shop is small, they seem to have everything from vodka to toilet paper. If you're visiting the beach, you can pick up sun screen, toys and more. Prices range from reasonable to crazy high. My most recent stopped, I picked up post cards for only 35 cents. Expect to pay $10 for a prepackaged sandwich. The clerk asked if I needed stamps and then kindly told me where to find the nearby mail box. I always feel welcome.

How do they do it!?!?!…read more Who has stepped into Russell's convenience located right at the entrance of Kaimana Beach Hotel parking lot. Always passing here I never gave it much thought thinking it's a small place to get some chips and soda...wrong!! You can basically get EVERYTHING short of a bathroom I'm quite impressed of how huge this convenience store is. The staff here is so nice and friendly for any questions or when you're indecisive like me...smiling and allowing me to circle and circle around looking thinking this was it...no this one...oh wait this looks good lol!!! With every snack you can think of...wall of yummies, chocolate, chips and healthy protein snacks...too much treats they have a wall filled with first aid and medical supplies for got that personal item...yup a wall of travel sized items so you're not committed to an oversized item. Lots of fun Hawaii print totes for the beach along with snorkel and other beach items, slippers, hats and mats...oh postcard to brag of your travel they certainly got it all. With the nearest market that's quite a distance this place is literally convenient and a blessing for those who are desperately in need. Thank you!

Visited Knots Coffee Roasters for breakfast before heading to Koko Head, and it gave me the boost I…read moreneeded. I ordered the breakfast burrito, which was a really reasonable price for the heart of Waikiki. On top of that, it was both big and satisfying. It's mainly made with eggs, potatoes, bell peppers, and cheese, so if you like eggs, you'll enjoy it. Some of my friends thought it had too many eggs and lacked actual meat of some sort, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The burritos are premade and warmed up after you order, so you can't really make any modifications. You can also order from the restaurant upstairs, but we were told the wait is around 30 minutes. I also tried the strawberry matcha, which was decent but nothing special. It's located on the first floor of a hotel and has plenty of seating, including options for larger groups.

Honestly, I keep coming back because I'm clearly in a toxic relationship with this coffee shop…read more It's my favorite spot, for the convienence and view - but they frequently treat my coffee order like a long-lost friend they forgot to invite to the party. Like, I've ordered coffee and food here before and they've just weiiiiirdly forgotten to make it...multiple times. Today I waited 25 minutes, just vibing with my friend while they finished their food and drink, before realizing I had to ask where MY drink was. They apologized and fixed it immediately, but it's becoming a 'thing.' I'm still going to come here, but I'm honestly looking for a new favorite spot where they don't forget to make my coffee, at a coffee shop. If you go here, bring a book, be prepared to wait, and definitely don't be shy about asking for your drink. It's a test of patience, but the coffee is good when you finally get it!

I was going to walk along the Ala Wai, but I decided to go over on the Kapiolani side and walk that way. It is the long way around but when I felt like I needed caffeine, I remembered this small unassuming cafe. Friendly good morning when I walked in. He apologized for the wait, but it gave me time to look at the scones. I ordered their signature Honey Cinnamon latte. This was amazing! Their coffee beans are excellent! I should've asked who their supplier was! Me: Acai or Pitaya? What do you think? He: How about half and half? Lot's of customers ask for this. Sooooooo good! Plus I got to try both. I also had a blueberry scone which was very good! Perfect breakfast to start the day! I sat at a small table in the front. Their dining room is actually a good size even though small. Mahalo Pai! I'll be back again soon!

It's super easy to get here walking around Kaimuki, or there's free ample parking right behind the business with a rear entrance too.

The staff was welcoming and friendly. Prices were reasonable for the quality. I'll definitely be back soon!

UGHHH i really wanted to like this place too. maybe i'm just more sensitive to espresso right now since i'm on my deriod

My go-to items are the fish tacos made with grilled fish not battered, grandma's salad and the generously sized omelets. The waffles are the size of an entire plate -covered with fresh fruit and haupia crème.... Indoor air conditioned seating or outside with the birds, breeze and under the big tree-that's my spot. Free parking out front or on one of the side streets.
