I tried the Party Wave coffee and honestly really liked the flavor. The honey and cinnamon went really well together and gave the coffee a really nice flavor without being too much. The staff was also very nice and friendly. My only issue was the size. The coffee was around $7 and there was only one size option, which I felt was pretty small for the price. I enjoyed the coffee itself, but for what I paid, I was expecting a little more. Overall, it was good coffee and nice service, but I probably wouldn't come back just because of the price and size.
Got the Party Wave Latte w/honey and cinnamon, it was a bit too sweet for my liking, but so close to being perfect! Staff was helpful and friendly when I asked them out of all the drinks I was interested in, which was the least sweet. Wasn't sure if I could alter the % sweetness in each drink. Loved that they used local flavors and had lots of syrup combos/selection. Parking is only street parking but there's always a few stalls next to the truck or the park across the street.
Service was good! Didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes, it was a Saturday maybe around 10am Handful of different coffee/lattes Ordered the Dawn patrol: macadamia nut and vanilla! It was good, coffee wasn't too strong or too sweet!
Best banana bread latte on the island! Workers are always friendly & work super quick. Cute little truck located in Kakaako. Will be back many more times to come!
Kooks Coffee has a trailer on the corner of Cooke Street and Halekauwila St. Order from the side of the trailer; pickup from the back. I believe there is shared outdoor seating - at the rear of Kooks' trailer - with Sabrozon's...about four tables. After two visits, I think I should order a basic espresso-based beverage. I got two drinks ( I confess ) based upon their cool names: Dawn Patrol and Loco Mocha. Both are iced beverages and helped to cool me down. Dawn Patrol is made with mac nut and vanilla syrups. The Loco Mocha is a mocha with toasted coconut cold foam. Locally sourced ingredients, i.e. La'ie Vanilla, are used. Both were good, especially on hot ,humid Summer mornings - technically not Summer until the Solstice. There is nearby street and metered street parking...I walked a bit. Hours are from 700 till 200p, Monday thru Saturday; closed on Sunday. I have to stop by when Sabrozon's food truck is open...1100a...because who doesn't like Mexican street food.
I got this seasonal Orange Cream Latte and it was heavenly. The citrus taste paired with the espresso worked perfectly.
Good quality coffee drinks, innovative flavors, at reasonable prices, conveniently located .. what's not to like?!? Came across Kooks Coffee after dropping my car off for servicing close by. Walking around the neighborhood and checking out sights up close. Taking the opportunity to meander. Have to say, Can't wait to come back for that "chunky monkey" (that really should be on the menu board!) that Yelper Sonia mentioned in her review. That "Duke" sounds mighty fine also! Today it was just plain black Ice coffee for me (since still in fasting mode) and absolutely loved it. Thankful for the newer (and more convenient) location of Kooks! Even got to discover "that gray food truck" that Irene mentioned in review. Did I mention... love the newer location, which so happens to be right next to my favorite Mexican food @ El Sabrozon on the corner of Cooke and Halekauwila Streets!
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!
After a few visits now, Kooks Coffee Cart has officially become one of my favorite stops during my morning walks. You'll find them right on the corner of Cooke and Halekauwila streets and it's a convenient location to grab a drink to start the day since they are open Monday through Saturday from 7 AM to 2 PM. Every time I've stopped by, the service has been consistently friendly, fast, and always served with a smile. Even when there are a few people ahead, the drinks come out quickly and the team keeps the vibe upbeat and welcoming. Their menu has a great mix of signature lattes and classic coffee drinks, including espresso, cold brew, americanos, and cappuccinos. So far I've had the chance to try a few of their lattes and they have all been delicious. The Duke combines sea salted caramel with a coconut white cap and has a nice balance of sweet and slightly salty flavors. The Dawn Patrol, made with toasted macadamia nut and vanilla, has a smooth flavor that is perfect for a morning coffee. I also really enjoyed the Loco Mocha, which pairs rich mocha with a coconut white cap for a chocolatey drink with a subtle tropical twist. It's hard to choose a favorite because they've all been so good. One drink I'm especially curious to try on my next morning walk is the Nanner Bread, a banana bread latte made with housemade banana milk. Yum! My friend ordered it the last time we visited and added Mocha to make her Nanner Bread latte a Chunky Monkey!
Came here on a Saturday morning for the first time. We parked in the small lot by Designer Body. Parking wasn't too bad that morning. We realized that we could do an online order, so we did that just to make our wait less. Once we got there, our order was already ready which was perfect! I ordered the Nanner Bread latte bc Ive been looking for a sweet banana drink that would be similar to a banana latte I had in Vegas. The drink was refreshing. The banana was not as vibrant as I had hoped for and there was some cinnamon taste that overrides the banana. I did like the drink because it wasn't too milky and I could still taste the coffee taste. All in all, I would probably get the drink again, just maybe with some cold foam or extra sweetener.
Customer service was friendly and quick. Parking is a little difficult. There's a small lot next to the coffee truck but it does fill up. The day we went they had shut down the road due to the Italian food festival. Drinks were good just a little sweet for my preference. I may add an extra shot next time. Their seasonal flavor this month is blueberry. The set up and surrounding area is clean. It's a cute coffee truck. Overall I would recommend.
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.
Wonderful coffee truck with a variety of locally sourced, housemate syrups! I love the Dawn Patrol, Nanner Bread, and Ube!!! The most difficult part of my day is choosing which coffee I want to drink today! They have their own free parking lot, as well as free street parking and paid street parking if needed. They have a cute sitting area with tables and chair located behind the truck. And they now have an app! I can order ahead and quickly grab my coffee when I can't stick around to visit!

Stumbled across this truck when they had the surfboard break off the stand one windy morning. Since then I had my free coffee on the 11th visit and probably been here about 25 + times already. Sometimes 2x a week! I've had Gnarly chai, Party wave, dukes and even the blueberry coffee when in season. But my go to now is KY CHAI. Issa secret menu item, along with the Cheeky Chai. I've been to other spots for a dirty chai and NOBODY CAN COMPARE. Other places make em watery or the puck is burnt. Kooks never miss so far. I get my drinks hot in the mornings. But they said for try em cold. Very welcoming vibe and sets me up for the busy day ahead. read more

This review is long overdue, but I've been wanting to check out Kooks Coffee for a while, and I'm glad I finally did! I got one of their seasonal specials at the time, the s'mores latte. It looked good when it came out and the flavor was there! It was just a little too sweet for my taste. I think if I got it at 75% sweetness, it would've been perfect for me. The ladies working were really nice, and my drink came out pretty quickly. I also love the branding and how cute the little coffee truck is. I wouldn't mind coming back to try some of their other drinks! read more

Fun theme coffee spot with fun flavors. Service was meh! I had to repeat myself 3 times asking about the drinks as the gal stared at me with a blank stare. The coffee itself didn't really give me that wake up I needed but like I said earlier the flavors are fun. Also the banana is a banana milk? You cannot change the milk out for a non-dairy option. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more
