Guys, if you're gonna trust a five star review TRUST THIS ONE! The staff were so kind to myself and my baby, even when she was being a little fussy. The food was great as well as the matcha. I know they definitely use the good matcha. The environment of the cafe was very lowkey and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Great cafe to check out! read more

The ambiance is authentic and the employees are always friendly! You'll enjoy your visit for a morning or afternoon coffee or lemonade.

Visited Knots Coffee Roasters for breakfast before heading to Koko Head, and it gave me the boost I needed. 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. read more

Honestly, I keep coming back because I'm clearly in a toxic relationship with this coffee shop. 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! read more

I'm a sucker for tropical, atypical flavored lattes. I searched for macadamia nut latte and found this gem. Hidden inside a tiny mall with a few shops, it's inviting with its opened concept, perfect for the hot weather. I added coconut to my macadamia nut latte and it was perfect. I didn't even have to decrease the sweetness. Yum! We also got the acai bowl, which was delicious, refreshing and so healthy. Instead of using granola, they used something that looks like a crushed up Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars, with some pieces being bigger than others. It's different yet good. Honey is drizzled on top of the fruits which makes the entire thing that much more appetizing. We also got the braised beef loco moco. It was so tender it practically melted, and the gravy was rich and savory without being overpowering. Combined with the runny yolk and rice, this is ultimate comfort food. Expect a 20 min for this dish. The girls who worked here were nice and friendly. read more

Coffee place in the queen Kapiolani hotel. Tried both a regular coffee and a regular latte. Service was good, clean and fresh. Great little spots to sit and get out of the rain or sun. I felt it was somewhat bitter. read more

They have happy hour for certain drinks from 2-4 pm! My strawberry matcha was only $6.50 compared to $8. It was refreshing and the perfect amount of sweetness. They have plenty of seating too! They are a little harder to find since they are in a hotel but it makes it less crowded. read more

i have very mixed feelings about this place. I'm a very strong coffee lover, reasons of the flavor, caffeine, and ambiance. Only found this place cause my wife saw it on Ig somewhere and looked really nice. Interior is actually very nice with much seatings (including the lobby), which brings me to my first concern. when they push out food and drinks, they place it on a rubber mat and yell out the item name, so my concern is what if there was 10 same items that was ordered back to back? I'll just run up and grab first one. WEAK SYSTEM. Second, When I was placing order, order came out to about $40 for 2 coffees and 2 food items. then it prompts for a 18%, 20%, and 22% tip suggestion. What service am I getting that suggests me to tip this much? Is it a sit down order? Is my table wiped and have been set up? Is food brought out to my table? nothing prompts me to tip at a cafe besides staff being friendly which they were not. I left $3 cash tip and the cashier gazed at me like I did something wrong. Staff here does not smile, does not care who grabs what, does not thank for tipping optionally, and especially does not have a cafe vibe. I'm giving this review a 2 star because food quality, drinks, and interior design is good. Service here is not it, especially when they are the first interaction people meet when they wake up. Do not have high expectations here read more

First off, customer service is friendly. Secondly, the shop is clean and spacious. There's patio seating available. They have vibrant wall arts. We ordered two acaii bowls, two matcha drinks, and a chicken wrap. Total before tax was around $46.00. I like my strawberry matcha the most, then the chicken wrap, and then acaii. I'd recommend this place if you want to relax or get some work done. Bonus: they also have stamp cards! read more

I've been in town for nine days, and I've had my breakfast at Knight's Coffee Roasters every single morning. The coffee here is genuinely the best I've had. My daily routine has been a cappuccino, and it's perfect every time--rich, smooth, and exactly what I need to start my day. For food, I've had either a croissant or a toasted bagel with butter and honey. The croissant is delicious and at six dollars, it feels like a fair price. However, I'm a bit confused by the bagel price. It's nine dollars, which seems very expensive, especially compared to the croissant. I even brought it up, but it appears to be the correct price on the menu. That one small detail aside, I absolutely love the atmosphere. The ambience is wonderful, and it's so quiet and peaceful around 6 a.m. It's the perfect spot for a calm, relaxing start to the day. read more

I have been here almost every day in Hawaii. I don't like cold brew but I LOVE the peppermint cold brew here. It might actually be an obsession. The staff have all been nice and they're super quick! There's grab and go items here too like other drinks and local snacks. A nice surprise when I saw they have beer, wine and cocktails. I was surprised when I saw that and they're not at a bad price for being a coffee shop in a nice hotel. Make sure you look for their seasonal menu when you get here for some extra coffee and cocktail options. There is a great food selection too. read more

Knots Coffee Roasters is conveniently located inside the lobby of the Queen Kapiʻolani Hotel Waikīkī. I found myself starting my mornings everyday at Knots Coffee since I was staying at the hotel. Nice open layout and plenty of seating to relax and enjoy your coffee and some breakfast. I didn't try the food but I believe most of the hot food comes from Deck, the hotel restaurant. I received fast service and they even offered me a punch card for a free drink. read more

A bit of a hidden coffee shop within the front steps of the Queen Kapiolani Hotel. I was staying at a nearby location and decided to check this place out for a proper caffeine fix and I ended up coming here twice! Their Longboard Latte (coconut macadamia nut latte) with oat milk was so delicious and creamy! They had a large menu with food options too. The service was amazing, my first day here they whipped out my drink by the time I finished ordering and paying! The workers are so friendly. And if the beautiful patio doesn't convince you enough to check this place out I don't know what will! There was plenty of comfy seating and you can enjoy the fresh air even if it's raining. read more

Beautiful atmosphere and yummy drinks! My friends tried the strawberry matcha and the peppermint mocha. It is a solid spot to relax in and sip good quality drinks. Near the beach but still in a quiet area. The breakfast burrito and sandwich were also both decent ! read more

A little hidden gem that is located inside the hotel. I got the iced long board and it was really good. It was a nice last cup of Hawaiian brew before ending my vacation! read more

The food and drink I had was really good. The açaí was absolutely Perfect. The reason why I only give 3 starts is because most of their food items were out of stock. They get a lot of their food from the deck restaurant above. They were out of most of the options for the food. I'd come here again though and maybe they will be in full stock. read more

WHEN: Mon @1:30pm I felt the need to just hang out at a coffee shop. I'm glad this spot is just a block from the airbnb we were staying. It's quite spacious and I love how half it is semi-outdoors. They have an extensive menu, but sadly their soft serve machine was broken. So I ended up with: LONGBOARD LATTE - $7.50 Coconut Macademia Nut Latte. This was quite tasty! I enjoyed it! I had a wonderful time here, and even after the cafe closes, the seating area is still open since it's located inside a hotel. I really like that! read more

Mmmmmm brown sugar shaken cold brew!! Came here Christmas afterboob. Nice spot. Will definitely be back.

We didn't try the food, because compared to other breakfast/brunch places along the beach, we though their offerings were quite expensive. Because we were staying in the Queen Kapiolani Hotel though, we frequented this spot for coffee in the mornings. Coffee is okay, I think where they shine is their acai bowls, which we got several times for a nice cool snack. They put granola in the bottom of their acai bowls which makes them a bit more filling than other acai bowls, and they do not skimp on their fruits. I do think they need to work on their workflow though, because we once waited for 15 minutes for a cold brew which they literally poured out of a bottle. read more

Knots Coffee has a great vibe and great coffee and food. I really like the açaí bowls (with the added cocoa nibs) with my morning matcha latte. They have a bunch of good grab and go items to take to the beach across the street. read more

My husband and I were staying at the QK and loved that this cute coffee shop was below our room.

A really cute vibe that doesn't feel like it's in a hotel. A bit slow on service, but a good array of options.

This place is amazing! I absolutely love the iced coffee and banana toast. The ambiance is also really nice with lots of tables to sit at!

The longboard latte was so worth the bus ride from central Waikīkī. It gives you the tastes of Hawai'i you want in a latte. However, the real shining star is the vibe and aesthetic of the coffee shop. The boho design overlooking the Honolulu Zoo is everything you want in your life... and who doesn't love MINI TABASCO BOTTLES!!!!!! read more

Service is not attentive. We have been here twice now and they don't acknowledge you when you're in line. They make eye contact but they won't greet you. The reason why we went back was their breakfast menu. I've been wanting to get a bagel with cream cheese while my fiance loves his banana toast. The lox and bagel are okay, would have been nice if they hadn't forgotten the onions. Cream cheese had no flavor so it doesn't do much to the bagel. For the banana toast, they use cream cheese instead of peanut butter-very interesting. Coffee is okay. Their breezy brown sugar latte is so sweet! So the second visit I got their Americano. And it was much better. Their expresso is decent but Kai's is better. read more

We stayed in the Queen Kapiolani hotel for the week and stopped in here to use two of the free coupons we received. The service and food and drink were so good, we decided to stop in there multiple times. The drink selection is pretty good, especially the matcha drink selections. The pastries are good, including the breakfast sandwich. We went so often that we became regulars! read more

You get a complimentary coffee and croissant or yogurt for your stay per guest. The burrito and croissant was delicious! We loved the white mocha iced coffee!! It was very smooth and delicious!
