Delicious iced lattes that I loved while my keiki highly enjoyed the lemonade n' colorful eats. A cozy n' whimsical café you can spot right on Liliha Street!" SERVICE: friendly n' sweet. I thought I had ordered a lemonade, but was given an iced tea. They were happy to make the correction. INTERIOR: small, cozy, lots of fun merch for sale. Limited seating. On this visit they were having a BTS event. EXTERIOR: good amount of seating outside, maybe 4 tables WAIT TIME: a few mins to order, followed by the items came out staggered. In total around 20-25 mins. PARKING: free lot on the side shared with Creations By You, limited stalls OVERALL COMMENTS: always see this spot while driving on Liliha St n' have been curious on who n' what they were. Finally made a visit n' I'm so glad that I did. Both iced lattes were so good, I especially liked the Ube one. Sweet, bold, n' yuMmmy. Drink prices are nice for 24oz. Got a lychee lemonade n' the colorful bagel for my kids. All of them couldn't wait to dig in. The lemonade was so refreshing. I definitely want to come back to try more of their signature iced lattes n' drinks!

Hands down one of the most delicious matcha drinks I've ever had! A very refreshing island twist to…read morematcha with the pineapple and lillikoi/passionfruit flavors. I've been wondering why more cafes don't do passionfruit matcha in Hawaii so I was super happy to find this place. // Hapa Matcha Honey lillikoi syrup with macadamia-pineapple cold foam matcha. Very creamy but perfectly sweet with fruity island vibes! // Alohamora Such a creative name! Lillikoi coconut cold foam with lime zest. This one was my favorite. The matcha was lighter/less creamy but the lime zest with the passionfruit cold foam was so delicious and fresh. Unlike any other matcha combo I've had! Located in Chinatown area. Very grateful for a lillikoi take on matcha! Much needed and Po'ai does their matcha drinks extremely well! I will remember this cafe very fondly.

TLDR: 5/5 - the vibes are excellent, a coffee shop you can actually work in, with a great staff and…read moresuch good array of drinks, what more can you ask for! Ordered: Hapa Matcha - 5/5 This was incredibly refreshing. Great matcha, not too sweet at all or even in the slightest. Its really the fixings that make this not only the most unique matcha I've had but also bang for your buck. The cold foam was soooo good you can taste the hint of pineapple, the liliko honey syrup was present and blended well with the other ingredients. I drank this way too fast. Vibes: 5/5 Music was flowing, staff was really kind any helpful and the best part is is that this functions as a real coffee shop, who would've thought. There's a good amount of seating with whatever vibe you want: co working or catching up with a friend. If I was in the area i'd be around here so often. Parking: 5/5 - There's a lot next door but there's also street parking! I can't wait to come back here. They have so many options that I'm all too excited to try.

Hello Again will have me coming back again! My friend Li Y. recommended we stop by here so I could…read moretry their matcha. I'd been curious about trying their matcha offerings, so I was excited. We came on a holiday morning, and there wasn't anyone inside. The cafe is cute and vibey! Love how pet-friendly it is with the polaroids--I'd definitely bring my pup here. There's also a decent amount of seating to hang out or work at. Service was fine. I ordered at the register, and she made my drink immediately. I was intrigued by their Haupia Matcha Latte. I love all things Haupia, so it seemed like the perfect match. I got the Haupia Matcha Latte with Oat Milk, and it was superb. I loved how creamy it was, how the sweetness of the haupia shone, but the earthiness of the matcha was still there. I'd definitely recommend this drink and am curious about their others. Hello Again is a nice cafe addition to Chinatown. With all the cafes in the area, it's worth a visit if you're a matcha lover like me. Find the cafe off Nuuanu Ave., unassuming on the outside but nicely sized once you go in! Parking is limited to the street or nearby municipal parking.

The place is small inside and can get crowded, but the wait was totally reasonable. I loved my fried fish Filipino breakfast, especially with vinegar on the side, simple, comforting, and so good.

Just come a little early or be prepared for a short wait!

The café itself is on the smaller side, but the menu has a great selection of drinks and food options. I ordered the Royal Ube Matcha Latte over ice, and it was delicious. It's actually one of my favorite places on Oʻahu to get an ube latte--the flavors are balanced well, and you can still taste both the matcha and the ube. What really stood out to me was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and personable. At one point, I genuinely thought a customer was a friend of one of the employees because their conversation felt so natural and welcoming, but they had actually just met. That's the kind of atmosphere they create. The whole shop has a warm, bubbly energy and feels very much like a neighborhood coffee spot where people know each other and enjoy being there. If you're looking for great coffee, friendly service, and a cozy local vibe in downtown Honolulu, Ali'i Coffee is definitely worth checking out.

The employee took it and immediately hung up on me--no name taken, no "thank you," no "goodbye." When I arrived, the parking was a mess, so I had to be dropped off. Inside, the food display looked sad, and the cashier looked completely miserable and unpresentable. While waiting patiently on the side for 15 minutes, I watched the kitchen staff preparing food. Red flag: they literally microwave their eggs instead of cooking them fresh. After 30 minutes of total waiting time, I finally went up to check on my order, only to find out the cashier hadn't even handed my ticket to the kitchen yet. She sent it back right in front of me without a single word of apology--just a blank stare. I cancelled my order on the spot. Horrible service, zero management, and low-quality food prep. Save your golden time & money and go somewhere else. Definitely not a place where I'd want my food prepared!

In the meantime I ordered an iced coffee (which was delicious!!!!) and sat down and watched folks come and go. This is clearly a popular local coffee and snack shop so I will keep this place in mind since it's locally owned and operated and their decaf is processed via osmosis, not chemicals. That's a big plus.
