I stopped by here yesterday morning for a coffee and a malasada. While traveling I try to hit up a…read morenew local coffee shop every day and on this morning it happened to be Maleko Coffee and Pastries. This might be one of the only places in Waikiki open at 4 AM which is perfect if you've just arrived the night before from the East Coast. The inside of the shop feels homey. They have a display case full of pastries along with additional baked goods set out nearby. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a coconut latte and then ordered a blueberry malasada while my father went with a custard-filled one. At Maleko, the malasadas are pre-made but not filled until you order which I think is a smart move. I first tried my blueberry malasada and thought it was good. The dough was light and fluffy and the filling had a great flavor. As for my coffee, I have to agree with other reviews that the syrup made it overly sweet. I still drank it, but I definitely would have preferred something less sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again for the malasadas. As for the coffee, I would probably pass unless you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side.

I came in because I saw that they had vegan donuts. He said I could do guava, blueberry, or plain,…read morebut he recommended the guava. It was less than three dollars including tax, so definitely affordable. The guava filling was great, but the donut itself was kind of bland. If it weren't so cheap, I would have given it three stars. But it was a good deal and I might go back.

This place is located in McCully Shopping center and while they do have parking up front, it's not much parking and it tends to get pretty busy here. Just keep in mind that if you pay with a card it is a minimum of $10. There was a couple of times where I didn't have cash and I just had to buy a snack or dessert to meet the minimum.

We loved Island Vintage Coffee. The location is beautiful, especially the patio overlooking the…read moreshopping street. It's such a nice place to sit outside, have coffee, and take a break from walking around Waikiki. We shared the turkey avocado panini with sweet potato fries and it was delicious. I also really liked that they have a full food menu with plenty of good options, so it feels like more than just a coffee stop. The Hawaiian coffee was the standout for me though. It was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. Definitely somewhere I would come back to for breakfast, lunch, or coffee.

This review is only for Coffee…read more I was almost hesitant to make the line just for Coffee, but I'm so glad I did. First of all, they have a really efficient operation, so the wait to order was minimal. Then you go to another section to wait for your order and considering the people waiting, it wasn't bad at all. The only thing is it was a little crowded to check out their merchandise and let me tell you. I eyed alot of cute things! I had the Island Latte hot and my daughter had it cold and both were SO GOOD, with Macadamia Nut and a hint of Coconut. Well worth the wait!

I got the coconut Haupia latte with oat milk. That was good. Overall the whole experience was good, but I'd probably just do takeout and never wait in line for it.

I tried a sandwich here once and it was really good. They toasted it and brought it out to me at my table (they were busy, so it took a while for it to be made). The coffee is always great. I typically order an iced coffee and it's always a hit. This location is in a hotel, so it can get really busy and even a little noisy with the waterfall. I'd recommend sitting at a table near the entrance if you're wanting to sit and chat with someone.

Kai Coffee is always a reliable stop, though if you've been to some of their other locations around…read morethe island, this one does feel a bit more corporate in comparison. The space is clean but lacks some of the charm you might find elsewhere, and the AC situation is on the limited side, so plan accordingly if you're visiting on a warm day. That said, the coffee itself holds up well. The macadamia nut flavors and other local twists on the menu are genuinely good and worth trying if you haven't before. It's the kind of spot that does what it sets out to do without a lot of fuss. A solid option when you're in the area and need a quick pick me up, even if the atmosphere isn't the most memorable of the bunch.

This is the only standing Kulu Kulu and I hope this place does not close, or if it does relocate, come closer to Central Oahu where the rent is cheaper, haha (hint). This location is on the outer edges of Waikiki on Hobron Lane in Eaton Square. I rarely venture to Waikiki, and if I do make the dreaded drive to "town", this place and Kan Sushi will be the only regular places where I will make my stop(s), because its so worth it. I've had a long-standing love-affair with Kulu Kulu from the Shirokiya Food Court location with it's waffle bears and Hello Kitty waffles, the takeout Nama Chocolate cups stocked at Mitsuwa Marketplace and now here, in town. The Ube Coconut Mousse $6.95 blew our minds, it was THE best tasting thing, ever. Both the ube and the coconut were not cloying, and as with all of their treats, not overly sweet either. That's why I love Japanese pastries, they get the sweetness just perfect and I have no idea how they mastermind that ratio! Strawberry Panna Cotta $5.95 was creamy, flavorful, delicious and surprisingly light and refreshing for such a creamy dessert. I normally don't get this kind of combination of flavors, and it tasted like something you'd get in a Michellin-rated establishment. Looking back at the photos, I see vanilla bean seeds in the panna cotta, so every loving detail and nuance shows through with each mouthful. Nama Chocolate $5.75 is my go-to chocolate LOVE. It's cut into cool creamy semi-sweet squares dusted with cocoa and it melts in your mouth! This is my favorite of all things that Kulu Kulu makes. I actually enjoy this better than the famous Royce Chocolates from Japan. We ordered another seasonal Strawberry dessert slice cake but it was eaten before I could review (and/or taste it); I've heard it was very very delicious. This place is so good that I plan to bring my friends who will be visiting from Virginia here to try their pastries. I also plan to support this business for as long as I can and make more frequent trips to town just to get these amazing desserts.
