    Decent internet speeds. I was able to connect my laptop fairly easy and work next to a window. Office workers mainly frequent this location. The only downside for me is there are no outlets. This isn't a big deal for most but if you work remotely then this place might not be a good all day option. Since I live walking distance from here it's a nice break from working from home.

    Love coming to this Starbucks! Located in the middle of downtown. There is paid parking in the parking garage but, there is also some street parking available depending on what time you go. The staff is very awesome here! They have such a great energy and are always so friendly. They make you feel so welcomed. This location is usually very busy especially in the morning rush hours, but the staff work very hard to get all the orders done in a timely manner. We have never had an bad experience with drinks here and they seem to know how to fix orders that have been made different at other locations. I would definelty recommend this location!

    Oleato sample, espresso with olive oil
    Joyce L.

    This is my favorite Starbucks in downtown. What made me write this review is that one of their Barista came around with a sample of cold Oleato drink. At first I thought it will be some overly sweet coffee. Cold Oleato coffe is made with hint of toffee, nutty syrup and olive oil. Sounds weird right? But you have to try it for yourself. I couldn't believe how good it was. Olive oil really made it nutty and smooth. It was so good that I came the next day and tried the hot version. The hot Oleato didn't have the toffee syrup and made with oat milk but still had olive oil. It was also nice especially on a cool, windy day.

    On coffee day, they gave free coffee if u bring your own cup, but instead I bought a pumpkin spice latte and they filled it only 3/4 full.

    I like to go to this starbucks because it's close to the places I go for lunch in town. Although they have new employees that don't know how much to pour (once my pumpkin spice latte was less than 3/4 full) an experience employee explained it's bc the new employees are still learning to froth it, that sometimes it's too much and it looks full to them so just return to get it filled more. Since then my coffee has been filled fully. Because of covid, there's nowhere to sit, but I rather bring it back to my office to enjoy anyway. When I go, it's not busy so my coffee is made quickly, and the staff are nice.

    Since returning to downtown Honolulu for work, I have found this location to be very convenient. Mobile ordering in the Starbucks app is also brilliant! I put in my mobile order after parking my car in the mornings and when I arrive at this location, my drink is on the counter waiting for me. They have about 6 baristas working during the morning rush so everyone's food and drink orders come out quick. It's really good because everyone in downtown is trying to rush into the office with their morning coffee/breakfast. There have been mornings where they turn off mobile ordering because it's too crowded and so I just come back one hour later and order my drink in person with the barista. In the afternoons, if there is no Frappuccino happy hour or buy one get one special, this place is quiet. The baristas will talk to you while making your drink. It's also a good time to sit inside and use their space to work or have small group meetings. This location does not have public bathrooms or parking.

    Bug in drink
    Sara W.

    The last few times I've been at this location my drink has been made wrong and today I found a bug in my drink. I always do a mobile order to be able to pick it up and go since I don't have a lot of time. Drank it for a few minutes until I saw it. Very disappointed

    With Starbucks, you always have a choice of location even on foot as there's another around the corner. This downtown Honolulu location is on Merchant Street, which makes it very centrally located for anyone working in or exploring the area. The hand full of times I've been here, it's usually pretty empty so there isn't a long wait for drinks. The line begins right inside the door with the counter on the right. Pickup is beyond that. There is a rear entrance leading directly into the office building as well. One benefit is dedicated outdoor seating off of the main room; you can only access these tables from the inside. Starbucks in general are nice trendy coffee shops. Be sure to download their app for easy ordering during peak times and to keep track of points for free items. The music selection is subdued as is the lighting; perfect to take a break from the heat or do some work away from home. For office events, be sure to ask about the catering size drinks. Be sure to keep an eye out for seasonal and holiday drinks!

    I love their mocha Frappuccino, hazelnut ice coffee and the ice tango tea sweetened. I also love their hot chocolate with whipped cream.

    I'm here a lot for work for the past few years but have been coming to the islands for many years…read more I've been a true loyalist to Island Vintage for at least 11yrs at this location. Over the years I've noticed the staff has become so much nicer and welcoming which is what I think of when I think of the Aloha spirit. Today I encountered a simple smile from the barista when I asked for extra half and half. She was very kind and sweet and sometimes that's all it takes. Keep in mind they are extremely busy with a line outside so to still offer good customer service in the middle of all that is gold. I always put my order in through the toast app and pick up to go. By the time my drink is ready my açaí bowl is melted. Today I decided to bring it up to the staff and encountered my lovely Lucille. She took my açaí bowl and put it in her freezer and gave me direction to put a note on my order to not prep the açaí bowl till I get there. That was very helpful! I'm happy not to have açaí soup anymore! Haha! But the best thing about it, she did it with a smile and it was genuine. You know when you just feel someone has a good soul..yeah, I felt that. Her demeanor was no different than how a family member would treat you. When she handed my açaí bowl back, she placed a napkin underneath it so the warmth of my hand wouldn't melt the bowl further...and the cherry on top was that I literally had the absolute BEST açaí bowl I've ever had made by Lucille. No joke! Sometimes there is too much granola, or too little fruit, but she made it with the perfect balance with each ingredient. She spoiled me and now I always want my açaí bowls to be made by Lucille! Lmao. I've been going through some tough times and I hope she knows (along with the taller young barista who offered me the half and half) that they both made my day a little brighter. See you in a couple days when I'm back! lol I swear I spend all my money every month at Island Vintage! The best of the best! I wish I took a photo of her beautiful creation but I got it down way too quick! :( Order the açaí bowl with Haupia cream and the Mona Kea iced coffee with macadamia nut, salted caramel and lava salt. You won't regret it! And you won't have to wait in line if you order from the toast local app if getting it to go! You're welcome:)

    Absolutely worth the hype and the waiting time. If you're visiting on weekday, certainly pre-order…read moreto skip the line as they seemed to be busy at all hours. The line moved relatively quickly even on weekend though, so don't let it hinder you from trying. We got their iconic Black Sesame Kouign Amann and loved it too much. Impeccably flaky and buttery pastry base with flawless caramelized bottom. The black sesame paste also came in just right dose and sweetness. I wasn't a fan of black sesame but I would rave over this pastry!! We did have their Pineapple Almond Croissant, which was decent but if you had to prioritize, doubtlessly go for kouign amann. The Chocolate Chip cookie was okay to skip IMHO. We came back again another day for their pistachio and chocolate ones and they were just as mindblowing! If you loved milk coffee, I would recommend their latte as the cold brew could be tad acidic even with added milk. I got their Cold Brew with soy milk first time then Vanilla Latte the second time, and certainly loved the latter better. They did have some indoor and outdoor sit-down spaces but they're constantly occupied so you might need to wait awhile to get one.
