This is an amazing hole in the wall cafe that is a must try for everyone. The owners are super friendly and welcoming and it's always fun to talk to them. My boyfriend and I shared the breakfast plate with prosciutto di parma and they split the plate for us. Their butter muffins are more on the dense side, but they are not dry, super buttery and pairs well with the salty prosciutto and fresh pesto. I've tried their cheesecakes before as well and they've got the perfect texture and sweetness to them. It balances well with the espresso and lattes. read more

Raintree Bakery Coffeehouse - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My friend from college and I somehow both ended up in Honolulu, so Raintree Bakery Coffeehouse was the setting for our reunion. What a wonderful decision we made to meet at this cute local business. Their menu was quite unique, very boutique. The team working here were quite warm and welcoming. There is limited seating, so you might want to come here earlier than later. Everything I ordered was delightful, and I ordered quite the breakfast: the butter muffins, prosciutto, and eggs with macadamia pesto all made me feel quite classy. I can't wait to come back and try their other baked goods. read more

I do not have the words to express how much I adore this place and the lovely gentlemen who own and operate it. The menu is simple and nearly everything is made onsite. They're known for their butter muffins, but everything else in the pastry display deserves a try. This is the kind of café where I would love to bring a book and enjoy a meal by myself, which was precisely what I did on my first visit, except that the book was a laptop. I tried the breakfast platter with prosciutto di parma. I normally do not like pesto, but I can still taste the macnut pesto that comes with the dish. Proportions are just enough. I really can't recommend this place enough! read more

Visit: 1st Date: 9/14/25 Time: around 9am What they got right: Ambiance, service, food quality, and beverage quality. Areas for improvement: None at the moment Recommend? Yes! Hubby and I have driven by this coffehouse many times, making a note to stop and try it one of these days. The Parking Gods were kind to us on the day we visited and we got prime, free parking near the coffeehouse! As we entered the charming entrance, we were greeted by the owner and shown to a table. The music playing overhead, the cute cafe seating, and the warm service won us over immediately. The eggs with macadamia pesto, prosciutto, and butter muffin was tasty. I enjoyed my yogurt with granola and blueberry muffin. The muffins were cake like so they were light and moist. We enjoyed our cappuccinos with their medium roasted beans. Sadly, we learned they are retiring at the end of the year. We will miss this neighborhood gem! read more

Stopped by on a whim because I was hungry at an odd hour like 3pm and was on the area. They said they could serve breakfast and boy was it worth it. The eggs were perfectly fluffy but what did it - the homemade Mac nut pesto. I don't like pesto but this was incredible that I had to ask for more. I usually put ketchup on my eggs but I said no way. I wanted more of that homemade mac nut pesto. So flavorful and perfectly balanced. Had it with the pastrami. So good. The butter muffin was good too. It was a little more firm than soft and fluffy but enjoyable. I would order this over and over and over. Cute inside. Bathroom. Few tables. There were 2 people helping and they were both pretty friendly in their own way. Street parking only though. read more

Enjoyed a wonderful cup of mocha latte along with guava and chocolate cheesecakes. The cheesecakes are to die for and the mocha latte was so delicious I ordered another cup. I also ordered a takeout of guava, chocolate, and lilikoi cheesecakes for my brother and his family to enjoy. This hole in the wall cafe is so cozy and the owner/server Elliott is a gem . I highly recommend this place to anyone who just wants to sit down and enjoy their cup of joe. They do offer breakfast and lunch also but coffee and pastries are their specialty. Wonderful place. I'm in town once a month so I will visit them again. read more

Raintree Bakery Coffeehouse - Pastrami - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This was such a cute little cafe and I'm so so sad that I found them so late. They have been in business for 30 years and they originally came from San Francisco. The person that helped me was courteous and kind and witty. Their attire was old fashioned fashionable. I absolutely loved it. The desserts that they had intrigued me, however I was there first thing in the morning so my stomach just wanted something small and coffee so I asked their best seller which was blueberry. That was what I got. The little crunchy top and they heat your pastry up so it comes out nice and warm!! There were two workers. One baker and one everything else. When I walked inside I felt that I was at their house and their hospitality is noteworthy. I wish everyone who owns a customer based business would be able to follow how they take care of their customers. The unfortunate part is that the business closed at the end of 2025 and the owners left for France! They were going to retire and enjoy life which I wish them only the best! I will always remember those 15 minutes I had here and it made my day so much better. As I said, I wish I had found them earlier. I would have been a regular. The place was kept immaculately, clean, and the pastry was on point! Mahalo for your business and well wishes for this year and on! Sorry I deleted the photos but I'm sure there are plenty on Yelp to see, however since they were closing I just enjoyed my time. read more

I'm not sure how to describe it, but going to Raintree Coffeehouse feels good. It's a nostalgic ode of a neighborhood coffee shop. Who knows how much longer these types of small businesses will stay afloat. I hope Raintree Bakery sticks around for many more years. The pastries are wonderfully done. They are tasty, priced well, and no fuss. The coffee that I like to order is the cardamom latte. The flavor is light, spiced, and the coffee is sustainably sourced. Everything about Raintree Coffeehouse is against the mainstream grain. It's fantastic. You can truly enjoy your coffee and pastries without the bombard of loud influencers trying to pump out their next reel before the coffee's cooled off. Service is endearing -- that's the best way I can describe. The owners run the front of house and they're eager to answer any questions you may have. read more

I stumbled upon this cute little café and decided to give it a try--and I'm so glad I did. It's run by an older couple who take great pride in what they do. The service was professional and warm. What really stood out to me was their house-made almond milk, crafted from organic almonds imported from Italy--it was a very unique flavor. I've never had an iced latte quite like it, and it certainly won't be my last one. I arrived just after they opened and was surprised by the steady stream of regulars coming in to dine. It's a peaceful, quiet spot--perfect for studying or enjoying some alone time. read more

My companion loved this place! Lilikoi cheesecake and his americano really made him happy while I was shopping. It is such a cute, neighborhood coffee shop. The owners were so nice and hospitable. They said they retired and then had to work again because the community loved their place so much. I highly recommend that you go soon! Who knows how long they will stay open. We hope it'll still be there by our next trip. read more

What a great little spot! I wish I had time to eat, but I just needed coffee. Cheerful greeting when I walked in. The gentleman behind the counter said I looked like a hazelnut, which is a great flavor...but then he suggested pistachio which I had never had as a latte. The baked goods looked great! But I didn't have time and will have to wait until next time. Definitely worth stopping by! I didn't have my glasses, and I think they have some signature coffees which will have to wait too! Mahalo! read more

We took a bit of an "urban hike" through Honolulu and decided we wanted a mid day sweet treat, and dipped into this little shop. We were so pleased with our choice! We each got an echt cream, one raspberry one peach and they were delicious, served in beautiful glassware. The cafe is adorable and our server (who I assume is the owner?) was so informative and attentive. We watched many regulars come and go and all the food looked and smelled amazing. The love and attention that go into this place really shows. read more

Raintree Bakery Coffeehouse - Echt creams - Bakeries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Heartwarming Coffeehouse that serves up so much love! You start with the famous velvet ropes many to stop by for a sip and sweets to go but I really wanted to chill and enjoy some me time. Originally came here for their matcha latte with their home made almond milk but after browsing their menu noticed "Echt Cream" basically is a base of milk with seltzer, flavor and topped with whipped cream (lactose friends shudder) with over a dozen flavors I narrowed it down to Raspberry and everything is organic here and this drink was a heavenly light and refreshing. Gosh it's difficult to describe as it's not sweet or heavy just the right amount of raspberry and it was a lovely drink to start my day. Hungry as well I ordered the "Prosciutto di Parma" with 2 organic range free scrambled eggs topped with organic parmesan cheese & Macadamia nut pesto with a Butter Muffin. This seemingly minimalistic plate had all the right touch and found myself taking small bites slower and taking in every bite that's so rich in flavor feeling like I'm at a European cafe. Elliott and Jerry are just so amazingly welcoming and warm what a great place to escape and be taken care of and if you pay in cash there's a 5% discount, lovely meal with leaving your wallet healthier too is priceless! Thank you! read more

Looking for a little coffee shop outside the norm of the mainstream. This place did not disappoint! From the moment you walk in, it gives such a mellow comfort, homely feel. The two workers (not sure if they own the place) were very friendly and welcoming. One of them even came out from the back just to open the door for a woman leaving. I ordered a golden chai latte, which I have never had and my husband ordered an Americano thay was hand delivered to him. The worker making my chai walked to our table to ask if I wanted to have some honey. He personally delivered it and asked to watch my reaction. I was a bit nervous thinking what if I don't like it, but it was so delicious! It took all of me to save just a bit for my daughter to taste when we got home. Needless to say, we will be back! We want to try the cheesecakes and sandwiches that look so yummy! read more

It was raining sheets, and Jamie W. and I were traipsing over mammoth puddles after soaking in (literally) the culture at the Honolulu Museum of Art (review: https://bit.ly/4279yNM). When we turned the corner on Pensacola, we couldn't help notice this cozy cafe, especially the display case featuring all their baked goodies. When I read reviews of the place at our table, I found out what their house specialty was. It turned out to be their individual $6.25 cheesecakes, in particular, the lilikoi (passionfruit). They also offered them in chocolate and guava, so we split the difference: one Lilikoi (photo: https://bit.ly/3LfXHXO) and one Guava (photo: https://bit.ly/3T84nZX). Quite yummy and not overly creamy with a more crumbly crust than I expected. Our verdict was that we preferred the guava over the lilikoi but by the slightest of margins. To accompany our sweets, Jamie and I went in opposite directions temperature-wise. He ordered the refreshing $3.50 Moroccan Mint Iced Tea (photo: https://bit.ly/42i6FtZ), while I went the more predictable route on a stormy day, the reassuring $3.25 Rooibos Chai Hot Tea (photo: https://bit.ly/3J1II12). The cafe also offered hot breakfasts, so you can satisfy more than your sweet tooth in this vintage coffeehouse. FOOD - 4 stars...cheesecakes with a tropical taste and in the right portion AMBIANCE - 4 stars...charming, felt like a locals hangout SERVICE - 4.5 stars...the veteran staff knows their stuff TOTAL - 4 stars...the right sweet bite at the right time RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

Took a little walk to Raintree Bakery, a shop I've seen 3 years living in town and only now taking the time to enjoy this gem. The Prosciutto di Parma was Devine. The eggs were so fluffy and topped with pesto and parm shreds. The Prosciutto was slightly warm and not too salty (a problem I have when getting certain store bought) cappuccino with various flavor options: delicious. I think the thing that really makes this place are the workers. They truly give five star worthy service. Right when you walk in, they greet you and are quick to serve. The personality of the servers are amazingly friendly like Mr Rogers kinda friendly. Their uniforms are the cutest. And the cafe music ranges from French classics to jazz and some soft rock. This is a place I'm putting on my weekly rounds for breakfast/ lunch. Hopefully this can become a place where the staff will become family because on the first visit I felt very welcomed. read more

Stopped by this cute coffee shop/bakery after grocery shopping in the afternoon. Ordered an iced golden chai latte and a lilikoi cheesecake. I was assured it would be an authentic golden chai! Waited a few minutes and got my drink and cheesecake. The chai was good and lovingly made, but the cheesecake blew me away. The cheesecake was the size of a muffin. It had just the right amount of tart and just the right amount of denseness and moisture. There were other flavors and I can't wait to try the others. read more

My first visit to Raintree Bakery Coffeehouse and it definitely will not be my last! I had a straight forward iced Americano, but this one was done to perfection.

Coffee in Honolulu, Hawaii... I met my Lunch Buddy here over five years ago. We dined in and I had tea and a Liliko'i bar. It was a pleasant memory! Raintree Bakery Coffeehouse is located on the right side of Pensacola Street as you drive Makai (towards the ocean). There's metered street parking all around the block. It's a peaceful place with quality beverages, baked goods, sandwiches, and salads. It has a convenient restroom and friendly, helpful service! Elliott is very intuitive and knowledgeable! I ordered the Pastrami Sandwich which comes with a pickle, green salad, and dressing on the side. I appreciated the containers of mayo and mustard. I ate half of the sandwich plain, then the other half with mayo and mustard - yes! I also got the Matcha Latte with almond milk and a splash of honey. The matcha is the real thing from Japan and the almond milk is made fresh! For dessert, the blueberry muffin was outstanding! It was moist and delicious! Thanks for using organic blueberries! Next time, I'll dine in again and bring my mom. I'm sure that she'll like Raintree Bakery Coffeehouse! read more

Love this place!!! It's my go to! I often pick up treats from here as thank you gifts and even apology gifts.

I like to treat myself as well as my neighbors - just because! The owners Elliot & Jerry are quite the pair! They really shine! Delightful conversation, love the tunes and their establishment is c-l-e-a-n! Attention to every detail! Even steeping the tea! It's such a quaint place - you really gotta go!

This is a must visit cafe in Honolulu for coffee or breakfast/lunch. I visited for coffee and breakfast. I ordered a latte and the breakfast plate with prosciutto, scrambled eggs, and a muffin. The taste was outstanding. This cafe strongly emphasizes organic, healthy foods, and it comes through in the flavors. Though this cafe calls itself a coffeehouse (which is true), they have excellent breakfast and lunch options. I spoke to the co-owner, Elliott, for a few minutes. He obviously has a passion for healthy food, and he referenced buying healthy / organic foods locally for use at the cafe. Having visited cafes in 23 countries, I rank this cafe on my top 5 list for food quality. Definitely visit if you're in Honolulu. read more

If you're a coffee connoisseur, this is the place to go. A quiet and quaint little shop, playing 40s styled jazz and piano, creating a calming set for you to be the co-star in. I must say the coffee is the shining star. With a smooth taste hitting the top part of your tongue the notes complimenting the sides, it truly is a great bean blend. A tad stronger so if you usually get a double shot, you won't need to here! I suggest the almond milk because the almonds themselves are imported from Italy! The service was fun and pleasant, opening a rope chain for me to walk into the facilities, and greeting me with a smile. I had their breakfast plate and everything was delicious. I appreciate the pesto on the scrambled eggs! I have worked as a barista before so seeing the owner have a passion for his coffee makes me smile too. 5 stars read more

Charming little coffee shop that is reminiscent of San Francisco. That's because the owners Elliott and Jerry are from North Beach, SF and designed this coffee shop echo the flavors of the coffee shops in that famed neighborhood . The menu is small but the freshly housemade pastries are plentiful. We shared a breakfast , a Pumpkin Cheesecake while sipping on 2 iced Americanos . All were outstanding! The iced Americanos deep rich flavors with a buoyant coffee aroma. Although on ice, it did not have a watery taste. A testament to Elliott's barista skills. The breakfast - Prosciutto di Parma & 2 Organic Cage Free Scrambled Eggs With organic Mac nut pesto and butter muffin. Eggs perfectly scrambled with just the right amount of wetness. At first you think the eggs are under seasoned, but when you pair with the slightly salty prosciutto, it turns into the perfect bite. The Pumkin a cheesecake- Luscious, rich with a medium density and packed full of autumn flavors. The shop is on a busy street and there's metered parking in front. Happy Eating! read more
