    Ubae Watch
    Irene M.

    There's Kooks in Kaka'ako... As I drove up to the Grey Manapua Truck I noticed a familiar cute trailer and it was surprised to see Kooks Coffee parked right beside Sabrozon on the corner of Cooke and Halekuwila Street. Very new as it's been less than a week it's definitely a welcome sight as they open early from 7am though do close early at 2pm but with lots of parking options from street meter to the lot at the building right beside them which also you not be able to see but behind the trucks are nice seating area as well for you to sit and relax with your drinks is quite nice and cozy. What you'll find here are coffee with a twist such as Nanner Bread, Dawn Patrol and yes Kooky Monster which all sounds amazing but it was the Iced Ubae Watch for me today which is their Ube Latte and for an additional +$0.75 subbed it for Almond Milk...you order your drink at the front window and pick up on the side. The staff there is so nice and friendly and if coffee isn't your thing they also have chai and "Rockers" which is a refreshing energy drink using Lotus which is a plant-based flavored drink which is something that I'd like to try on my next visit so check them out as these Kooks makes some serious drinks. Thank you!

    The Duke: Sea Salted Caramel with a Toasted Coconut White Cap

    This is a new coffee cart in Kakaako near the Sabrazon Mexican truck across Mother Waldron park. They also have a UH campus location. I tried the Duke which is a sea salt caramel coffee with coconut cold foam. Very good! My sister had the banana bread latte, which I tried, and it's also very delicious. The milk on that one cannot be substituted though since they make the banana milk in house, for the rest of the drinks the milk can be substituted. Service was quick and friendly and a nice variety of options, will definitely be back.

    Love Kooks Coffee, I first tried them at a farmers market! They just opened a new shop in Kakaako, right next to their old neighbors, Sabrozon Mexican Food! - I love their Banana Bread Latte $7 (nanner bread) - Parking isn't too crazy, there's a park right in front and you can easily park anywhere around. - This location is open from Mon-Sat @ 7am-2pm

    I rarely leave reviews but this place is too good to not dote about. Love getting my iced latte from here. Ingredients are locally sourced, the quality of the coffee is second to none, the names of the drinks are a fun touch too (I order the dawn patrol - basically an iced vanilla latte) and the prices are competitive. BUT what truly stands out the most to me is the SERVICE. When ordering, you are instantly greeted with a warm smile. The owners also work their coffee truck and it's actually them who I love ordering from because their pleasant demeanor and kind smile goes a longggggg way these days. Kooks coffee is my latest addiction and I'm more than happy to support this locally owned business! Try it if you haven't, you won't be disappointed!

    See if kooks had its own store I would sit down, study and drink their hibiscus rockers or any of their coffees 5x a week. They're also really sweet too! I'm so happy it's walking distance from me.

    Kooks Coffee truck is amazing! There is free parking, and a cute covered area where you can enjoy your coffee. We had the 'Nanner Bread, Dawn Patrol, Blueberry Chai, and the Blube. They were all so delicious! We definitely recommend and will be back soon!

    Kona Coffee Fact: Kona coffee is a premium, high-end Arabica coffee grown exclusively on a small…read more30-mile-long, 2-mile-wide strip of volcanic slopes in the Kona districts of Hawaii's Big Island. Known for its smooth, light, and mildly acidic flavor profile with notes of chocolate and nuts, it is highly prized and regulated by the state to combat food fraud. True Kona coffee is only grown on the slopes of Hualālai and Mauna Loa volcanoes. We had been told to check out Kona Coffee Purveyors at International Marketplace by a good handful of Honolulu friends and I'm glad I heeded their advice. The best coffee on our trip was had here and I wish I had more time to grab another cuppa! I ordered a black sesame latte for myself, shared an affogato, and tried a Konawaena pour over (Kiwae honey, roasted macadamia, and milk chocolate) pourover. The latte was sip after sip of balanced coffee with a hint of black sesame. The pour over is where you truly get the caffeine. As for the affogato, easily the best affogato had on the trip (and I had plenty~). I highly recommend Kona Coffee Purveyors if you're in the Waikiki area. The ambiance is nice and the staff is friendly!

I ordered cortado with their signature pastries. Cortado came with carbonated water and I have to say it paired pretty good. Ambiance was modern and clean. I love the presentation and taste of their foods are also good.

Expect long lines here lol We did a huge order for coffee and breakfast menu items. The wait to order may be long, but luckily it didn't take too long for them to prepare the drinks and sandwiches. The drinks were faster but the sandwiches did take some time. I mainly had the Kai Latte, which was the macadamia nut latte. I would say it's pretty sweet, but the macadamia nut flavor wasn't really that prominent. It was just sweet. I wish the coffee was also stronger, but it was pretty light. The sandwiches here were pretty good too. I tried the veggie breakfast sandwich which only had some greens and eggs. I tried a bite of the protein breakfast sandwich and I think I probably like that one better haha. Although, the veggie one was definitely a lot more lighter and easy to consume. The protein one probably would have been a lot more heavier for me, but a lot more flavorful. Otherwise, food and coffee are pretty solid. There are a few tables outside the coffee shop, very limited. Love the atmosphere around here!
