    Cappuccino, espresso, and a yummy chocolate pastry that I can't remember the name of
    Amy C.

    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!

    Quick little cafe with wonderful sweets and drinks. This was a work day stop that I am so glad we made. Service was kind and helpful. It was quick and clean. The baked goods were delicious . I wish I brought home for home. This is worth a stop. They offer so much more. I will go back if I am I. That area again!!

    Blueberry muffin.

    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!

    Pastrami & 2 Organic Cage Free Scrambled Eggs. So good.
    Traci H.

    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.

    Mocha Latte
    Warrene C.

    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.

    The rumors of retirement are not factual. The truth is the Raintree is open for business and looking forward to the future and your continued business. Same great bakery items and coffee drinks along with sandwiches.

    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.

    I always enjoy the service. The gentlemen are extremely courteous and pleasant. And the food is always excellent. I went today for the hot chocolate, and I was not disappointed.

    Excellent matcha!!!! Not sweet and the owner makes his own delicious Almond Milk. This is one of my favorite spots for Matcha and a dessert on Oahu cute little cafe in the middle of town to stop in and feel relaxed. Also very friendly owners and staff.

    Great dining room!
    Mikey H.

    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!

    Echt creams
    Lacey F.

    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.

    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!

    Lilikoi cheesecake
    Jacqueline F.

    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.

    Does Raintree Bakery have any vegan baked items by chance? Mahalo.

    I don't think so. My guess is that their muffins, cookies, lilikoi bars, and cheesecakes contain eggs and/or dairy.

    Do you have to vaccinated to enter?

    No, not now - August, 2022.

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9).
