    This is truly a hidden gem and a place I am going to take my friends to - it's just that good. Nestled out of the way in the residential area of Kaimuki stands Mirage Arr & Coffee. Jasmin the owner is so friendly and willing to talk story and recommend items for first timers. All of the art for sale in the cafe is hers as well! The Honey Rose Latte was wonderful with rose accents and was the perfect compliment to my beautiful and delicious hummus toast that I had for lunch (insert heart eyes emoji). Need more places like this - but I feel like it would be hard to recreate the vibe that Jasmin has created. They have reopened after a month-long closure and will have a grand reopening party at the end of June!

    The most delicious Turkish coffee + baklava I've ever had!
    Dina A.

    Jasmin (pronounced Yasmin) opened up her cafe this morning and we had a great chat as I learned more about Mirage. The decor and overall ambiance is just gorgeous. I can tell it's been carefully curated -- the artwork, figurines, furniture is so distinct but still cohesive. Mirage is the perfect place to start your morning -- I ordered a Turkish coffee + baklava, and I sat outside at the front, where I took in passersby as I sipped on my coffee. WOW -- that's how I would describe my Turkish coffee. It was sweetened lightly, as Yasmin suggested I drink it that way. I roast and brew my own Eritrean coffee at home so I know good coffee when I taste it. The cardamom really hit the spot, and it was so nice and hot when Yasmin brought it out. The baklava -- FINALLY I have baklava that is not overly sweet! Truly authentic. I couldn't have asked for a better way to start my morning. I'll be back in Honolulu later this year, and I plan to bring my mother. Then, I'll try the "Saudi" style coffee, which Yasmin told me is a lighter roast with some spices in it as well. See you soon, Mirage...

    I've been in Hawaii for 2+years and have been so sad about the lack of middle-eastern cuisine. This has been the BEST food I've had in all of the islands!! Jasmine, the owner made us the most delicious baba ghanoush and a honey rose latte. The coffee was super smooth! I grew up with my Egyptian Grandpa and Nonna and Jasmines food was just as amazing! Definitely a hidden gem right in pālolo valley, I want to keep this place all to myself but she deserves the business! It's a small little shop with some tables outside. She also hosts art events. The inside of the shop is decorated with lots of local art and is very homey and cozy! 1000% recommend! Better than any cafe I've been to here!

    Wow their iced Honey rose latte was delish! It went well with their house made Cinnamon cake! They also have variety of Arabian, Turkish and Ethiopian coffee. This place has a lot of character and charm. The owner is friendly and very engaging. This place also hosts private paint parties and open mic sessions. Love the Art work in here and the vibe. Great spot to grab a coffee if you're in the Kaimuki area.

    Found this place via the Five Stars app and it's right in my neighborhood! They were not open yet but the owner quickly arrived and opened the shop. I got an acai bowl with mango gelato on the top (the offer from the app). The shop is small but homey with an old school coffee shop vibe. Need to come back to try the sandwiches. Free street parking, next to North shore grindz.

    After trying Turkish coffee for the first time at another restaurant in Kakaako, I couldn't wait to have it again. A quick Yelp search and here I am. D E L I C I O U S! Authentic is the best word I can use to describe the flavours, the owner grew up in the Middle East so you can bet this is as real as it gets. I can't wait to come back and try some of the Arabian food options and Saudi Coffee!

    This true to its name as I had no idea it was three blocks in off of Wai'alae on 10th Ave. This Mirage is absolutely beautiful as it takes you away from the bustling Wai'alae and transport you to the Middle East with Turkish coffee, Baklava and more your taste buds will be dancing with joy. Thank you Yelp Hawaii for the When in Wai'alae event with Keep it Kaimuki for highlighting all the amazing small local businesses, with the check in on Yelp I redeemed an offer for Honey Rose Latte for $3.50 and what an interesting light and refreshing sip with a hint of Rose I felt like royal enjoying my latte in a plushy chair while browsing the artsy decor. As the When on Wai'alae event is ending let's continue to support these awesome biz as they do help us decompress with fun events like an upcoming "Paint & Sip" wow!! Follow them on Instagram @miragehawaii to keep update. Thank you!!

    This cute, charming, Miiddle Eastern themed cafe has a unique character unlike any other in Hawaii. Located in Palolo, not far from bustling Waialae Ave, it offers a quiet retreat that oddly fits into the neighborhood. With 5 small tables, it's good for couples or singles and offers an experience vastly different from Starbucks. Like the cafe, the menu is small but interesting, especially the drinks. My friend ordered the Tumeric Tonic and I had the Honey Rose Latte which was just the right blend of coffee with floral rose notes, oatmilk (my request) and honey which can be ordered to your preference. Delicious!! Food offerings include baba ganoush (tasty and garlicky), hummus, stuffed grape leaves, feta, and olives with pita (which can be ordered ala carte or together in an Arabian meza platter), avocado toast, sandwiches, açaí, gelato, and dessert. Everything is served in beautiful, one of a kind dishes that match the whimsical, artsy decor of the place. Our one man barista/ food prep/ server/ cashier, John, was very nice and accommodating of our special requests, but since he had to do everything solo, the service was leisurely.

    What an adorable little coffee shop! This cafe makes you feel like you just stepped into your grandma's house. The mismatched furniture and eclectic decor definitely give it a sort of homey vibe. We came here on a Thursday afternoon, and it was quite empty. The cafe is perfect for catching up with friends, which is exactly what we did. I ordered a Honey Rose Latte, and it did not disappoint! Normally, I never get fancy lattes, but this one is a must! I haven't had anything like it. The latte was made with Rosewater, giving it a very fragrant essence; having it made with Oat Milk gave it an extra creaminess that I enjoyed. The honey gave it a slight sweetness that complemented the flavors perfectly. I felt like I was in a hot bathtub full of rose petals drinking this LOL. There isn't that much seating available; 3 tables inside and 2 outside. This place is the perfect local business to support. Don't sleep on their signature Honey Rose Latte - definitely worth trying it out!

    Walking into mirage art & coffee is like being transported to a different country. Tucked away on 10th ave in Kaimuki is this adorable coffee shop with an eclectic flare. It s also one of the only coffee shops on the island that serves Turkish coffee and other middle eastern foods and snacks. I visited the coffee shop as part of the #whenonWaialaeevent but ended up making a coffee run for my friends ordering from here. I've always meant to check this coffee shop out and the event gave me a reason to finally check the place out while supporting local businesses Service: When I got to the cafe, it was around 10 am and I actually found it closed. The owner left a sign on the door to give her a call because she stepped out for a bit and she would come right back if I'd call the number left on the sign. As I was in a bit of a rush I called the number and Jasmin, the owner informed me that she was dropping one of her elderly neighbors who lived on top of the hill off. As you can probably tell, Jasmin is a very kind-hearted woman and will definitely make your visit a memorable and welcoming one. She is super passionate about art and is an avid painter herself. As I was waiting for my order, recommended very light readings from her collection of art books. If art isn't your thing, there are other general reads and magazines as well. We also talked story for a bit and she told me about her upbringing. Cost: $-$$ Prices of the drinks and foods are all quite affordable, Note: The honey rose latte was $3.50 + tax and the Falafel pita was $5 plus tax as part of the event. All other items purchased were priced standardly as indicated on the menu Foods and Drinks: In addition to getting the two yelp event promotion items (honey rose latte and falafel pita), I also tried their dolmas, Turkish coffee, and turmeric tonic. Orders of additional falafel pita and honey rose latte were also ordered for my friends. Honey Rose Latte: personally, I thought the latte was a bit too sweet for my liking. I'm not a fan of things that are too sweet. The latte was however very fragrant and the coffee base was delicious. Tumeric Tonic: The Tumeric tonic will give you warm and fuzzy feels. I opted to have it unsweetened but I'm honestly glad I got it unsweetened because you can better taste the turmeric and ginger flavors. This is what you'd want to get on a cold rainy day because it will definitely warm you up. Falafel Sandwiches: these sandwiches are made fresh as you order them. They were definitely tasty and were authentic. Dolmas: The dolmas were pre-made and stored however they still tasted delicious. The grape leaves were still looking fresh so although they were premade you could tell that they weren't made too long ago Turkish Coffee: Mirage art & coffee's Turkish coffee is probably the most affordable and authentic Turkish coffee on the island. I wasn't expecting to find such Turkish coffee after returning from the mainland. I've had a lot of Turkish friends who would make this for me and this Turkish coffee definitely reminded me of those times. Overall, I would highly recommend this cute little cafe. During non-covid times, it would even host paint parties and events. Hopefully when covid is behind us, I'll be able to come back and attend one of these events!

    It's a cute, quiet, and comfortable cafe. I went there because I saw it on "When on Wai'alae" an Yelp Event and it's by my friend's house and I've been wanting to try it. This event offered Honey Rose Latte for $3 (regular $5.25) and Falafel Pita Pocket Sandwich for $5 (exclusive new menu item). I was going buy lunch little later so I only had Honey Rose Latte but I was tempted to buy a German Plum Cake which was right by the register. It looked good. Cinnamon Sour Cream Coffee Cake sounded good too. The Honey Rose Latte was made with rosewater. It was my first time drinking rosewater. I've heard on cooking channel recently but didn't know how it taste like so I was so excited to try it. The latte was lightly sweet, that's how I like it, and the rose aroma was light which is a good thing because I think if it's strong it might remind you of cosmetic product or perfume. I love the light sweet floral aroma left in my mouth. Made me feel like princess. lol There are exotic coffees that I don't see it in other cafes, like Saudi Coffee and Turkish Coffee or Turmeric Tonic. I want to try those too. There were Middle Eastern food like Arabian Meza (?) and Za'atar(?). I think I need to try them and find out. Sounds interesting. There's regular sandwhiches and vegan toast too. There's 2 tables each with 2 chairs outside for outside seating. Art works inside the store are mostly by the owner. Some of them are available for purchase. I'm looking forward to try other menus there soon.

    Flyer with updated hours

    I was searching for places that served Turkish coffee. It's rare to find in Hawaii and was excited to find a cute coffee shop in Kaimuki - location is a quarter of a mile on 10th Ave heading mauka from Waialae Ave. (umm hint for visitors: mauka means towards the mountains...and in this case north). The coffee shop is small but full of life, color, paintings, and of course, coffee! There are other fantastic sweets and eats that owner, Jasmin, bakes herself. I finally got my fix of Turkish coffee, which has a nice touch of cardamom. And while I couldn't stay to enjoy my coffee there, it was still a treat to be able to grab a cup for myself and also something sweet and savory to eat. I wasn't able to take pics of my coffee and food, but I was able to take a pic of the flyer that has updated hours and, of course, the outside and inside of the shop. Be sure to check it out if you're in the area but also be mindful of the hours.

    Wonderful decoration..
    Mari Z.

    Loved the regular cappuccino coffees, hated the Turkish coffee. It was like mud. Owner anxious to please, but a little too much in our faces. I may go back alone. Our coffee group loved the decoration, and most of the coffees. She spent time arguing that about how authentic the Turkish coffee is (she knows better than I), but I've had better. A bit overbearing, but interesting and likable.

The space is clean and comfortable with couches, tables, small chairs, and counter space for a variety of patrons. I went on a weekday, and it was comfortable and quiet, and there was plenty of space to find a seat. The bathroom was accessible and incredibly clean for a town bathroom. Whether you're studying, hanging out with friends, doing work, or just listening to music as I was; the space is proper, and the coffee is even better. I had chosen a hot chai latte with almond milk for this rainy day and sat near the window to just enjoy the vibes. It was delicious and perfect for the weather. Not too spicy and a great foam on top. Pricing is reasonable, and they even offer food items that you can munch on with your coffee. Perhaps I'll have to try the food during a future visit. The staff was friendly and quick with my order and even brought it to my table after ordering. I never felt rushed at all, and it was nice to have found a comfortable space to enjoy a nice cup during the rainy weather. I'll most certainly be coming back again next time I'm in the area.

When I asked for clarification she proceeded to wave her hands and speak in a very condescending tone repeating her question. The time as I had mentioned was 6:30 am, there was 2 customers behind in me in line about 4 or 5 customers in the store. Had it been busier I may have understood that there is extra stressors involved. However being that it was empty and again 6:30 am, it made the whole experience first thing in the morning uncomfortable as I had genuinely not understood her question. I informed her that she did not have to be rude, and her tone changed however there was still underline hostility when she asked if I needed anything else. Coming from an immigrant family, with english being a second language at home, it was quite upsetting and borderline discriminatory. I am sharing this feedback because I would hate for another customer to feel dismissed or uncomfortable for simply asking for clarification and receiving such a negative response. I will say that besides the poor customer service that morning, it is a good study spot and they have a wide selection of coffees. As someone who cares where I am spending my hard earned money, I would say that other study spots with good coffee/drinks would be the curb or daily whisk matcha.
