Their iced teas are so good :) this is strawberry-lilikoi iced tea
Kira K.

Need a quick bite to eat? Craving a smoothie? Or iced tea? Just want a made-to-go lunch? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you've come to the right place. Tucked inside on the ground floor of the topa towers, this small cafe offers its customers a variety of choices. I'm lucky enough to work right upstairs, and I often find myself coming here when I can't decide what to eat, BREAKFAST: they serve bagels from "lox of bagels" and even sell lox and cream cheese bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and premade breakfast such as fried rice and eggs. They also sell pastries, coffees, smoothies, boiled eggs, yogurt parfaits, and spam musubi. LUNCH: their "aloha" breads are delicious. It's a soft bread similar to focaccia and stuffed with different flavors. My favorite is their spinach and cheese - plain, yet simple. Their bread also has a slight sweetness and it's an indulgent treat to eat warmed up. They also offer things like chicken salad or tuna salad sandwiches, some salad choices, soups that rotate depending on the day, and prepackaged meals for around $8-$10 (ie: penne pasta, kalua pig & rice, shoyu chicken and rice, Japanese curry.. it's whatever they choose to sell on that day) COFFEE: I have only had their coffee a couple times but it was pretty good, nothing too spectacular though lol ICED TEAS: my favorite! I find myself coming here strictly for their iced teas a couple times a week. They have flavors like: strawberry, mango, lilikoi, lychee, yuzu, and I think peach. My favorite is mixing it, so I often get a strawberry-lilikoi iced tea :) yumm! So refreshing! Yuzu and lychee are also my rotating favorites. All of these flavors are available in lemonades as well! SMOOTHIES: also delicious! They even offer options like whey, chia seeds, (I forget what other options) in your smoothies as well So, as you can see, this place offers a variety of options and refreshing drinks! My only complaint is it's a little pricey (the drinks and even the bagels), but for the convenience, it's not too bad.

Aloha Bakehouse & Cafe is located inside Topa building in downtown on the first floor. It's a cute coffee shop with variety of food like sandwiches and bake goods. So far I got to try their house coffee and iced mocha. I think their coffee is flavorful and smooth. The price is pretty close to what Starbucks charges. If you're in the mood for different brand of coffee, give this place a try.

This coffee spot is tucked inside the Topa Financial Center near the Subway. The cafe did a name change in 2019, formerly Cafenity. I love the caramal macchiato so I usually go for that and today decided to get a bagel too which are actually made by Lox of Bagels. Cafe staff is always friendly and drinks are served up quickly. They also offer a rewards program for customers.

The Lava Mocha is hands down my favorite mocha I've ever had. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. It was the reason I came back and waited! Mauna Kea Iced Coffee is my FAVORITE coffee of all time. I will be drooling over this coffee until I return. It has coffee, sea salt caramel, a scoop of ice cream, and black sea salt. Already it sounds delicious and it was. I finished my drink within 5 minutes. I didn't order any food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. The menu is extensive with plenty of options, making it a great place for brunch whether you're craving something sweet or savory. The café also has a small section selling Island Vintage merchandise, which is fun to browse while you're waiting. If you choose to sit outside, don't be surprised if a few birds decide to join you for breakfast and they're regulars too.. Overall, despite the longer wait for drinks, the quality of the coffee, inviting atmosphere, and tempting menu make this a spot I'd happily visit again.

Good things come to those who wait. I only wish there were more people here specifically waiting…read morefor the coffee because it was absolutely delicious! Sadly, it seemed more folks were there for the pastries though. First off, I'm surprised I found such a fabulous cup of coffee in what feels like the epicenter of tourist life on this island. While visiting another island nearly establishment had signage stating they served Kona and/or Hawaiian coffee, but nearly every establishment's coffee was absolutely awful. Seeing the location I fully expected them to phone in the coffee, but it's clear that coffee comes first here, even if many of the guests are trying to get pastries! You'll be shocked by the line, but just know the staff is efficient and it moves fast. They offer a variety of their own locally roasted beans here, with options for batch brew, espresso drinks and even pour overs (impressive considering the volume of customers). The coffees are well described and the baristas have the additional knowledge you may be seeking when you order, and all in all this went as quickly as I could have expected. Truly, the coffee was delightful, and the fact I was drinking a hot drink on an extremely hot day didn't even phase me. I wanted so badly to bring home a bag of each one, but given that everything is more expensive in Hawaii, these were all 4x the price of the specialty coffee I buy on the mainland and I just couldn't make it happen. What will happen is me telling everyone to visit this shop when they're in Hawaii because it is 100% worth it. Won't you consider opening one in Reno NV?

Long line, oven was broken, so only coffee and desserts available…read more Ordered a "Kona" coffee for $5. Quite frankly it's one of the worst cups of coffee I had. Watery, flavorless. This can't be Kona coffee, and if it was, they don't know how to brew it. Terribly horrible, really expensive coffee. Don't bother.

Go up the ramp to dedicated parking stalls for patrons; avoid the stalls demarcated, reserved. There are street metered stalls along Lafite and, the adjacent structure, Kaimuki Plaza. Plantoem offers a relaxing ambiance upon entrance. Navigate the jungle of plants to access the cafe counter. I requested the Yerba Mate which is only available for in-house. A container with filtered straw was provided alongside a thermal carafe...there was enough hot water for 2.5 servings. The barista was a bit bemused when I ( humorously ) mentioned I swallowed some sediment from the straw...not being used to drinking yerba mate in this traditional way. I felt a little less of a gringo after that beverage. The main dining area is to the left. A nook to the back of the counter is a laptop/device free zone...and I sat in that hideaway...perused a book on interior design ( a few books are available) ...and enjoyed the yerba mate.

We came on a holiday morning, and there wasn't anyone inside. The cafe is cute and vibey! Love how pet-friendly it is with the polaroids--I'd definitely bring my pup here. There's also a decent amount of seating to hang out or work at. Service was fine. I ordered at the register, and she made my drink immediately. I was intrigued by their Haupia Matcha Latte. I love all things Haupia, so it seemed like the perfect match. I got the Haupia Matcha Latte with Oat Milk, and it was superb. I loved how creamy it was, how the sweetness of the haupia shone, but the earthiness of the matcha was still there. I'd definitely recommend this drink and am curious about their others. Hello Again is a nice cafe addition to Chinatown. With all the cafes in the area, it's worth a visit if you're a matcha lover like me. Find the cafe off Nuuanu Ave., unassuming on the outside but nicely sized once you go in! Parking is limited to the street or nearby municipal parking.

Super late review -…read more I'm sad. I really wanted to love this place but I just couldn't. I don't want to be that person when this place has an overall rating of 4.5 but this is just my honest opinion. I got the blue dream and yes it was very ascetically pleasing, but it was just too icy. Before coming to this place i read a couple of reviews that also said the same thing and i didn't understand what that meant, but now I do. There are a lot of flavorless, just regular, small shards of ice in the bowl. On top of that, the moment I received my bowl, it was already borderline melted. So that got me thinking, how can it be melted and icy at the same time? The only explanation that I can think of is just ice additive/fillers. It's not pure cold acai or whatever is in the bowl you choose, but there's a mixture of ice in it too. Yes I understand, it's Waikiki, everything is more expensive, but the added topping prices on top of the already expensive bowl prices just don't make sense. You want a beautiful looking bowl with a lot of different toppings, yet some toppings can go up to 1 dollar PER topping. I don't know if I've just been spoiled by a couple places in SoCal, but at those places they have unlimited toppings and those bowls are the best that there is. I'm not bringing any bias from other locations, but this is just an honest review based on my experience today.
