    Great friendly service, very spacious and relaxing space and ambiance. I had a regular drip coffee which is of medium roast, very smooth & silky, with some floral notes.

    I went looking for some coffee since I am in the Waikiki area, and I found this place. I was thinking of getting some lattes, but they didn't have it, so I got a mocha espresso instead. The cashier asked me if I lived here so I could get a kamaaina rate, which was 10% off But this is a good place to have breakfast and you can study because to is a lot of seating. You can also sit outside, but since I have something to do and I have to go. The drink itself was good. I can taste the chocolate and the espresso.

    Very cute location about a block from the beach in this cute shopping area. Enjoyed the seating area and the espresso smoothie; service was good and prompt. Would be back again for a quick coffee!

    3/15/25- on a Saturday. This is my third review on this place and today is very quite. I would say this is about 2:45pm and it's chill vibe... nothing too loud and it's nice. This time I went with my favorite again- the croissant. And I went with a iced Matcha Latte... and because I said I wanted it for here it got made in a really awesome tiki glass cup... it's different then the typical plastic cup they have and I think I like the "stay in cup" then the plastic cup. My favorite server wasn't here today... perhaps Sebastian doesn't work on Saturdays... The server that made my wonderful order is "Art" yes that's his name. Easy to remember cause I'm into Art. Lol hahahaha. I will suggest that if your in the area again that low time is 2pm... I'm getting the hang of being here of lately now. Let hope they never leave the DFS area. On Royal Hawaiian Ave. Highly like the vibe here I always feel good here

    Cozy hidden little gem hidden away from tourist bustle. The ambiance is so cozy and laid back chill. You order first to go or drink there, which they charge 12.75 percent, I believe... but that's considered tip if you think about it. Service was great! Coffee was good also! Overall, a great place to come early in the morning and chill.

    Bean and Town has very good coffee. I'm not so much a coffee drinker, but the coffee here is very good. Good service and staff are very kind , service is fast too. They have very unique decor inside too.

    Bean About Town is located in the rear of the DFS, and they serve a pretty decent menu of sandwiches, pastries, and beverages. We came here to get a caffeine fix and had the Caffe Latte (espresso and steamed milk) and a Matcha Latte (matcha green tea with steamed milk). Since we just had a big lunch, we were unable to try out their sandwiches. Staff were kind and friendly, and there's plenty of seats where you can just sit and relax or do some work. +located in the rear of DFS +friendly service +plenty of seating

    Ambience is perfect for remote work or a friendly meeting. The treats and food are delicious and the matcha (not a coffee drinker anymore) is very tasty. But my favorite thing is that you can bring your well behaved dog. They are dog friendly inside and outside! They even offer a dog water bowl. there's plenty of outdoor seating with umbrellas to relax and enjoy your treats and drink. Check it out!

    Coffee here is very good and the best thing is that there aren't any crazy long lines. The location is in a building off the Main Street. Had the latte and the flat white which were both good. They offer a wide variety of pour over options from beans around the world. Had the geisha on one of my visits. They use a machine that does a pour over using a kalita wave. Pretty good but nothing special. Food options are available but I didn't try any of the food.

    After attempting to go to another really popular coffee shop that had an insanely long line and then another, I decided to try Bean About Town. I was happy to find only one other person in line and was starving by then because the other shops that hardly had anyone in there didn't look too appealing. Their coffees on their Yelp page looked delicious which drew me in. The guy at the counter was friendly and made some helpful suggestions. I liked how big the place was and didn't feel claustrophobic. It was a lot quieter than some of the other places I've seen and cool inside which was nice after walking around for a couple miles in the heat. I ordered a flat white and a ham & cheese croissant. The flat white was perfect and the ham & cheese croissant came warmed and had a nice flaky crust. It didn't feel heavy and loved that the cheese was melted. SO good, I crushed it! He also recommended the apple croissant so I'll have to come back next time and try that!

    Tucked away in the DFS located in Waikiki. Had the 100% Kona Red Bourbon pour over. There's lounge seating and very comfy chairs! Came here after a hearty lunch and almost fell asleep on the chair. Service is was good. They bring your coffee to you. I also purchased two t-shirts to give away as souvenirs since they say Waikiki on them. I will definitely come back for more coffee!

    Bean About Town is at the furthest back space of DFS (Duty Free Store). There were 2-3 private tables with seats around the counter, and people seemed to be enjoying the afternoon while drinking coffee or tea. There are interesting menus that are different from other shops, with simple pastries that seem to be a substitute for lunch. I think they are snacks and handmade peanut butter balls. Recently, I had an after lunch tea break at the Royal Hawaiian Center. I learned of Bean About Town and decided next time I wanted to spend a relaxing tea time at a private table there. The staff was friendly and I talked with them for a while and promised to visit again. In the back of DFS, which has completely changed, Bean About Town provides is a nice place for adults to relax. I realized that it was worth visiting. Bean About TownはDuty freeの1番奥にあります。 カウンターの周りにプライベートなテーブル席が2-3席あり、人々はお茶を飲みながらそれぞれの午後のひと時を楽しんでいる様だった。 軽食がわりにもなりそうなペストリーやハンドメイドのピーナッツバターボールなど、ひと味違った興味深いメニューがある。 私はランチの後、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターでティーブレイクを済ませて居た事もあり、今度はプライベートテーブルでゆっくりティータイムを過ごしたいと思った。 スタッフはフレンドリーで私は暫く彼らと立ち話しをして次の再会を約束した。 すっかり様変わりしたDuty freeの1番奥には私達が求める大人の癒し空間が用意されて居る。 足を運ぶ価値ありだと私は実感した。

    The barista was helpful when I asked her for her recommendation. She let me know about her in-house syrup that they handmade. I got the white chocolate syrup with my latte and it was great! Inside of this spot, there are comfortable seating areas. Great for when you need to take a break and relax with your toddler. They also have a gift shop next to it that is very organized and clean.

    Loved the circular aesthetic

    Stopped by this morning to try the coffee because I wanted to experience a great coffee shop. That…read moreis exactly what I found. Not a bakery or breakfast joint with coffee on the side. Coffee was their jam and it was a great experience. I ordered a decaf mocha latte. It was nice as it wasn't too sweet. The amount of milk was balanced and imparted a perfect creaminess. So, it tasted like a perfect cup of hot chocolate, but that is what you would expect for ordering a mocha latte. The mouthfeel was nice, medium in my opinion; just right. The steam wand was purged and cleaned straightaway. The art on top of the drink was nice until I messed it up by letting it slosh around too much before taking the picture. Next time I'll do the espresso to see how the unadulterated flavors of the coffee hit the palate. I want to taste the flavor notes of the coffee itself. The shop is clean and tidy and the menu is straightforward. The owner helped me at the counter and the way he interacted with me by providing options, opinions and asking my preferences clearly showed his passion for his business and for his coffee, which I definitely appreciated. If you want a nice cuppa joe with knowledgeable and friendly service, check this place out and give it a try. While I usually brew my own espressos and other coffee drinks, I'll gladly stop by here again to sample some more local grown, roasted and brewed coffee with some aloha to go with it.

The tables are usually taken so I just take my drink to go. I ordered a strawberry matcha drink on my first visit and a French Toast latte on my second visit. The second time I went, they didn't know how to make my drink so the girl had to read the ingredients that were listed on their own menu posted on the counter for customers. Maybe hardly anyone orders it or she was new and learning? It did take a while for me to get my coffee. The waiting area is quite small so there wasn't much room for me to go anywhere. Overall, the drinks have been good with a variety of seasonal drinks and specials as well. I'll probably return for my coffee fix as it seems to be one of the few coffee shops in the area open on Sundays. Happy Drinking!

First, over time, they switched from white bread to whole wheat, which I can understand if they want it to appear healthier. Now it wasn't delicious anymore, but still acceptable. More recently, when I tried it again, the taste seemed off. To my taste, the recipe has changed. I didn't just try one, I tried a second sandwich as well. It is no longer even okay. I will no longer purchase it.

I got their Hawaiian latte-- macademia and coconut which was a little on the sweeter side for me. And my friends got various smoothies which were all really good. We also shared an acai bowl that was super fresh and had strawberries, bananas, and blueberries. They have indoor and outdoor seating and other pastries and items on the menu to order. Super close to Waikīkī beach if you want to enjoy on the beach as well. Service was great, workers were friendly and kind. There were some birds around trying to come for our fruit. Not too sure about parking since it's in a pretty busy area.
