Some of the best artisanal drinks and service ever!! The cafe itself features a cozy and clean environment, so perfect for studying and friendly conversation. The staff, ABSOLUTELY amazing- owners Micah and Sun are always friendly, knowledgeable, and so hospitable! The honey rose matcha lattes are our favorite, paired with their house made scones or Sun's amazingly fresh bubble waffles, mmmm so perfect. Always a 10/10 read more

Matcha is a religion and Pai Cafe is my place of worship! As a matcha enthusiast and having tried matcha in Uji, Kyoto, Tokyo, Osaka along with other South East Asian countries, Pai Cafe is on my top list for favorite matcha spot. The Honey Rose Matcha Latte is smooth, creamy, and the Rose water is just the perfect touch. Also tried the blueberry scone and wanted to bring home the whole tray honestly!! What a gem, thank you for blessing Oahu with this cafe!! read more

New coffee shop on Kapahulu... coffee was very good and so was the acai bowl! Glad they're here. read more

This is one of my boyfriend's favorite spots and today I finally was able to check it out. I ordered the Chai (because chai is my fave) and it is phenomenal. My boyfriend ordered the Velvet Sweet Cream Cold-brew and I can't even describe how great this drink is. Everything is just so smooth and the palette of flavors in these two drinks are SO GOOD. I can't wait to try more from this cafe! read more

Freshly baked scones everyday. Their matcha is also en pointe. Locally owned. Great service.

Super friendly staff. Cafe is cute with sufficient amount of chairs/tables inside and out. The whole place is clean including the bathroom. I needed to jump online to get documents emailed out and their WiFi is super fast. I grabbed a green dragon hot tea and the best chocolate chip cookie. I live on the opposite side of the island but when on this side I'd definitely stop by again. read more

This cafe is really nice. My friends and I shared a tasty acai bowl with their special gluten-free granola. They have lots of tea, yummy scones, and banana bread. The place is clean, quiet, and easy to find. The staff was super friendly to both of us, especially to my friends. Prices are fair, and I can't wait to try more teas next time. We'll definitely be back. read more

DR. FUJITA recommended this place... Glad I took her up on it as the coffee is good though it didn't make me as wet as she got.. don't get me wrong the place really did a number on my 6... Had to get a new 9 but still the atmosphere was a 10 read more

5++++ stars! This place is so cute! Great location with parking is also a plus. The owners are so friendly and warm and the lattes are AMAZING! My husband got the Hawaiian latte and I ordered the cinnamon honey. Both lattes were perfect! They knew how to flavor it so it wasn't overly sweet and you could still taste the espresso. The espresso was super flavorful! They also have fresh scones and they are so Ono! Can't wait to go back tomorrow! read more

Pai Cafe - Pai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We came here everyday for their Portuguese sausage scones. We didn't have a chance to try their drinks yet, but will do that next time. The owners are delightful and the pastries are top notch. Wonderful! read more

This was the best latte we had in Honolulu! We tried the Hawaiian latte, which is macadamia nut and coconut flavors, and the lavender latte. Both were delicious! A lot of coffee and espresso in Honolulu is super acidic, so it was a joy to find a nicely balanced one. The vibe is very chill, with a few tables inside. The barista was super friendly too. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

Some of the best coffee (and chocolate chip cookies - don't skip them!!) that you'll find on island!! Such a great little shop and the service is always super amazing too! Parking lot is kind of small and can get busy, but we've never had much difficulty finding parking. read more

DOG FRIENDLY!!! Kid Friendly. However, if your dogs are not behaved keep them out. Same for kids, if you hv screaming little POS, leave ur kids at home. Owners are the some of the kindest ppl I have met. Will take time to explain the the drinks and food, respective ingredients. Honeatly everthing I have tried was very good. All baked items (cookies, scones, cake) are made on-site, fresh daily. Teas and Coffee are all well made. Nex time I will provide aome photos. Small down side, it is a small cafe, 5 tables inside. So to many people sit for too long. If your one of those POS ppl that buy one drink and sit for 1 hour, move on. This is a small family run busniess...spend a lot ans eat/drink a lot. read more

Great atmosphere! The scones were delicious! Lots of seating available. Owners were really nice!

It felt like a month ago, but here we are again, two weeks after our first encounter with Pai Cafe! Clearly, we fancy this place :) From the genuine warmth you get from the owners to the yummy scones and drinks, there's so much to love about this local gem! Whether you're a local or some out of towner visiting, this place is a must go and go again :) Want a little treat for yourself? Something to show your loved ones you appreciate them? Or/AND even a morsel and a cup of goodness to start your day? Make a stop at Pai Cafe! Take it from me and the other awesome reviewers, it's the best! You can thank me now with some scones and a latte lol Enjoy! read more

Great coffee shop! I got a super yummy iced latte. Just the right amount of coffee flavor, sweetness and ice. Cute and clean inside, easy parking. On my second visit, I unknowingly arrived after closing time. The owners were cleaning up and offered to still make my order to go! Very sweet and friendly. Support this local business, you won't be disappointed! read more

my sister sent me this cafe and told me to give it a try so i did just that! tried the matcha honey rose latte and wow it was basically executed perfectly with notes of rose that wasn't too overwhelming. The latte was lightly sweetened, refreshing and it went down silky smooth. i have tried countless matcha lattes on the island, and i would say this one hits the spot for me. Also got to try a savory scone and a sweet scone. I'm usually not a fan of scones but once they were heated, they weren't super dry and tasted pretty good. I specifically enjoyed the roasted tomato and pesto scone. The lemon early gray scone, though not my favorite, had a classic timeless taste. I noticed the menu didn't have prices and we were just gonna accept our fate with a big bill, but we ordered two scones and a drink for $20 bucks! not bad, for hawaii prices if I do say so myself! The ambience is nice and clean, with ample parking. The music isn't too loud and there are outlets. I did not see wifi but i also didn't ask the workers to make sure. read more

I can't drink coffee because it gives me headaches, so I'm always on the hunt for a good matcha. The workers are all lovely, there's always parking, and the Lavender Matcha is amazing, but I'm lactose intolerant and an oatmilk matcha comes out to $9. Pretty soon I'm gonna just start making my own if it's gonna be that expensive :/ read more

Best coffee in Oahu, we tried a lot of different ones. We drove through the whole island. The line was not long at all. Definitely recommended! read more

As a coffee lover, this was one of the best places I have ever been! The owners took time to get to know us chat and tell us about their products! They bake their pastries fresh every morning and even make their own granola. Very clean and good ambiance. This is a must try if you're near by! If I could get a coffee here everyday I would. read more

Pai Cafe - Lavender honey latte and caramel macchiato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great little cafe! Got there early and there was plenty of parking, but the lot definitely fills later on int the day. Had a flat white and a sun dried tomato scone. The flat white was creamy and smooth. The scone was amazing, soft inside, toasted outside, savory and just a hit of sweetness that paired well with my coffee. Service was solid, very welcoming and very timely. I wish I could have hung out there for the morning to finish my breakfast. I plan to return. read more

Cute cafe in kapahulu (with a parking lot) locally-owned! Wife makes fresh baked goods (huge chocolate cookie was amazing) and husband makes delicious high-quality coffee. I tried the honey latte. Was lightly sweetened and woke me up. I will try the matcha next, hear it's the best. The owner's mom also painted the art inside. You have to go! read more

Pai Cafe is a new establishment with ample seating, excellent coffee, smoothies, and snacks. They offer unique items that cannot be found anywhere else and are happy to accomodate any special requests/combinations you may desire. You can always expect a warm welcome from the staff, a well made coffee, an excellently blended smoothie/acai/pitaya bowl, and delightful snacks when you go to Pai Cafe. I highly recommend this new and emerging business. read more

Well if you ask for oat milk and pay for it they might just give you half and half like they did to me. Now I have a really upset stomach and I'm out 2$. Wouldn't recommend if you're lactose intolerant or just can't have dairy :/ this mistake made me very ill and sick. I threw up during class. read more

I was very excited to have a coffee shop on kapahulu. My husband got their scones two days in a row. haha My favorite was" lemon Earl Gray" but other ones were good too! Spacious parking lots and FREE ! Yay Both coffee and smoothie were good quality. read more

This cute place deserves better than 5 stars! Excellent customer service and very clean. There is ample parking too which makes it an easy stop.

Amazing locally owned business! I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to my coffee and I am always looking for a good quality brew. Pai Cafe delivers! The ambiance is relaxed and the service is top notch. You can tell the owners truly care about the customer experience and the quality of their products. I can't recommend Pai Cafe enough!!! read more

uh yes can confirm the scones are amazing!! tried the portuguese sausage & the tomato basil, but the portuguese sausage was my fave!

Had the savory cheese scone. Delicious, moist and tasty. Not the dry type of scone. Had it warmed up perfect. Hot Chai latte with oat and and touch of lavender syrup. Perfect morning drink to start the day. read more

I'd been meaning to try this place since they opened up a few months ago. I ordered the velvet cream cold brew and some lemony scone thing. That coffee was by far the best coffee I've had in more than a year! You can tell these guys really no coffee! First of all, you can tell it's real cold brew, not iced coffee. The cream on top was so light, silky, and Lightly sweet - absolutely perfect! You could also tell the scone was fresh baked and not hyper sweet like the stuff you find at Starbucks etc. this will definitely be my regular spot in the morning. I'd strongly recommend stopping in! read more

I was so excited to see a coffee shop opening up near my place and Pai Cafe did not disappoint. The coffee is very rich and flavorful. I got the small iced latte with oat milk and it so delicious and energizing! My son got the lavender and the chocolate chip cookie with salt on top and he said they were both amazing! The owners are so nice and friendly and I'm sure I'll be over there multiple times a week. Thank you for choosing Kapahulu for your business, I am very thankful read more

Great coffee, service and hospitality. The Hawaiian latte was very good. I recommend this place.
