Ive been here a couple time for their avocado toast which is probably one of my faves. However, today they were unable to make avocado toast because they were out of arugula so we decided to try their breakfast burrito. It was good right up until the end when i found a piece of hair in my eggs . read more

Loving the chill and friendly vibes of this local spot! I was looking for a place to work for a few hours in a layover and this gem of a cafe (with extended hours now until 6pm) popped up! Right in the heart of Kaka'ako across from SALT, the cafe is so inviting when you get inside. The decor and the great music give just the best atmosphere to enjoy with or without work. Customer service was top notch, very accommodating and thoughtful. I enjoyed both an acai bowl and the purple latte (ube cream and foam) and both were so great. Validated parking and WiFi with outlets to plug in laptops too! read more

New favorite study spot! I'd love to keep this spot a secret, but it's too good not to share. I'm so glad this location reopened so there's another coffee shop studying option in the area. Located in The Collection, there is free parking in the building (for dine-in Bluetree/ Indochine customers). Service and Ambience: This cafe is beautifully decorated with chandeliers, cute bookcases and bikes. The staff were all very friendly. If you order food, they'll even take it up if you're seated upstairs. The main level has a large coworking table, 2-3 tables, and lots of countertop seating. The upstairs loft is my fav spot as it has ~6 tables and many countertop seats. They offer free Wi-Fi and have many built-in outlets on the floor and walls, which is a huge plus! Their restroom, located on the 1st floor was super clean. Their music playlist was also nicely curated and perfect for a working or a casual hangout environment. , Price $-$$: Price for coffee/ drinks were comparable to other coffee shops in the area ~$5-8. Their food prices also seem reasonably priced, especially for their portions. Pastries were $2-$6, and breakfast offerings were ~$10-20. I didn't order food this visit, but my neighboring table did, and the portions were quite big. Food and Drinks: I ordered a Blue Tree classic latte and a blueberry cream cheese scone. I loved their Bluetree classic latte, with hints of espresso, nutmeg and butterfly pea tea. The blueberry cream cheese scone was a good snack to go along with my late. Overall, I'm thrilled to have found another cute cafe in town. It's the perfect little spot to grab a bite, coffee, and get some work done. I can't wait to come back to try all their other drinks and food. read more

I usually love coming to this spot but recently I've been let down numerous times. The first time I'll take accountability and say that I came about 45 mins to closing and I was told that they won't be making any acai bowls at the moment. This next time I came in on 4th of July and was told again that they weren't making acai bowls and it's 2:15pm. They said that the kitchen closes at 2pm which I find very odd since they close at 4pm and I'm pretty sure I've gotten a acai bowl after 2pm before from here. I really look forward to the acai bowls from here but it seems very challenging to get recently. read more

Got the chai tea latte. The whole latte was full of chai residue? Every sip was super gritty. You can see how much residue is in my chai tea. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience was disappointing. I stopped in while waiting for my Tesla to be serviced and ordered an iced mac nut cloud coffee. Unfortunately, it tasted overwhelmingly like macadamia nut to the point where I couldn't even drink it. I brought it back to the counter and politely explained that I didn't like it and couldn't drink it at all. I asked if I could switch to a Vietnamese coffee instead, but I was charged for a second drink. While I agreed to pay, it was frustrating given the situation. The second drink also seemed off--it was mostly coffee with very little cream and not what I expected. It was drinkable, but still not enjoyable. The burrito was decent, but nothing memorable. Overall, the experience didn't justify a return visit. read more

Unfortunately, our experience here was disappointing. The coffee tasted burnt, and even after getting a new batch, it was still undrinkable. We really wanted to like this place, but the customer service made it uncomfortable , the employees seemed to have a weird attitudes, and when we mentioned "hot Vietnamese coffee," one of them said they'd never heard of it, which surprised us since it's such a common drink. We decided to take the coffee ice just to try it "the Blue Tree way," and not make a big problem, but the roast was still too burnt to enjoy. We ended up leaving our coffees for someone in need instead, hoping they could at least make some use of them. read more

Top 5 cafes, never done me wrong. Great service, super cool decor, loft area, free (2 hrs?) covered parking lot. Delicious food, wine options, and all their drink options are so flavorful and pretty (I've tried almost the entire menu). read more

Locared across the street from SALT. One of my favorite places to get hojicha but I can't say the same for their matcha. The matcha itself has a strong earthy taste but once mixed in with the milk it gets lost. As of fall 2025, they no longer serve 12 oz, just 16 and 20 but I can't complain for having more in my cup. Adequate amount of seating across 2 floors, some shaded outside seating but can get busy. To help mitigate that, they ask that customers be courteous and limit their stay to 2 hours THANK YOU! read more

I've been to this location a few times now and it's becoming a go-to brunch spot for Vietnamese iced coffee and açaí bowls. I was looking for a place I could read or get some computer work done and the vibe is just right here. Staff is friendly, great coffee and lunch options. read more

super cute & convenient cafe! great for working with lots of seating. free parking for customers is a huge plus. staff is super friendly! i got their bluetree latte which was very nutty and sweet-- if you like hazelnut syrup, you will like this latte. it's reasonably priced, especially for a specialty latte. i've heard their food is really good, so i'll have to try some next time! read more

4/5 s from me! I had the Sugar Cookie Latte & my boyfriend had a regular latte with Black Sesame syrup. SUGAR COOKIE LATTE. The presentation was extremely festive and cute, but the oatmilk flavor was a bit overpowering (definitely would've been better with whole milk!) & the drink itself was very sweet. I would've also really loved more cookie crumbs on top of it, but nevertheless it was easy to drink & I finished all of it by the end of our little coffee get together. REGULAR LATTE WITH BLACK SESAME SYRUP. My boyfriend ordered this one and his review was that it would've been better if the sesame was more ground up since it kind of took away from the actual coffee taste. All in all, it's a cute little coffee shop with creative and fun little flavors for the season! If you're around Kaka'ako, give them a try! read more

Don't come here for the cold brew. It's not cold brew; it's almost certainly hot brewed coffee that they then ice (aka, iced coffee). Walk 2 min across the street to Arvo, who serves actual cold brew. read more

Probable one of our new fav coffee shops in Honolulu! Not sure what they put into their milk but it makes the drinks so good! A hint of vanilla bean and cinnamon I feel like. Highly recommend this spot plus it's owned by one of the coolest guys Steve Aoki and his brother! read more

If you're looking for a quiet place to chill and work / study - this place is DEFINITELY it! Loved the upstairs deck with TONS of outlets and plenty of seating inside and out. Drink wise - lots of options from coffee to tea with cafe cups or to go cups available. The baristas are nice, too. Would for sure come back to work! read more

Nice clean cafe with a cute loft seating area and good wi-fi for working. Enjoyed my ube cloud coffee, and the horchata latte was yummy too. They also have decaf which I always appreciate :) They were out of it on my visit but would love to try the blueberry matcha next time! read more

I loved this place, I was visiting family for the holidays and I came here almost everyday! I tried all of their specialty drinks too, all were excellent and super gorgeous. Their croissant sandwich is also really good. The workers were really nice every time and made the place feel super welcoming. There's quite a bit of seating and I love that they have ceramics from a local artist. On top of it all, and a huge thing for me, was that there is validated parking!!! read more

Good customer service & free parking. Refreshing housemade cherry cola espresso that was available for a limited time.

I wish I could give 0 stars but yelp won't let me. I've been three times and they've "ran out of" the following ingredients: Milk... Bacon Arugula Potatoes Sandwich had cold egg on it and they wouldn't heat it up when I asked. No discounts, no shame... We came with a group of 5 and after two of us ordered they denied the rest of the group from ordering food. Once we found that out we tried to cancel our order so we could all eat together else where. They denied us. Don't come here... read more

I would more accurately give it a 3.7-3.8 maybe. Just can't do a 4. I like that they're pet friendly. Easy to find and there's nearby parking. We got the hangry morning and Bluetree croissanwich. I love avocado toast and maybe my expectations are too high because I already found my perfect avocado toast elsewhere, but it was just okay. The sourdough bread was good but even when asking for it well toasted, it couldn't withstand the egg yolk being popped between receiving the order to walking it back to the car because the bread was super soggy so I was kinda bummed. There wasn't much seasoning on the toppings for the toast and the balsamic and cheese overtook everything I think. It wasn't as balanced as I was hoping for and it could just be a personal preference. Husband liked his sandwich and I tried a bite and thought it was good. Didn't get to try a drink but maybe next time. read more

I absolutely adore this café. Such a nice place to study with great music! 100x better than the Kapiolani location, just as another review said! The interior is so beautiful, there's so much natural light, and everyone is super friendly. My Vietnamese coffee was delicious and refreshing. I won't be surprised if I end up being a regular here! read more

Stopped into Blue Tree Coffee and unfortunately, it was a pretty disappointing experience. The matcha was fine, nothing special, but at least drinkable. The real issue was the vibe and the food. The two gentlemen behind the counter seemed like they didn't want to be there and acted annoyed that my wife and I wanted to order. We were literally the only customers an hour after opening, which should've been the first red flag. The coffee had an odd, almost chemical taste that made it unpleasant to drink. The croissant sandwich came in a box with undercooked potato wedges and a "salad," but the sandwich itself was still cold in the middle. It was so unappetizing we couldn't even finish it. Ended up tossing most of it and stopping somewhere else on the way to the beach. Overall, the matcha was okay, but the attitude, food quality, and strange coffee taste made this a spot I wouldn't return to. read more

Drinks are so yummy and staff are super friendly! Perfect place to study or get a quick matcha run with a friend! read more

We stopped by in search for a good latte to kick off our day and found this cute cafe located in SALT. The cafe was located close to a Drybar, and it wasn't too difficult to find. In terms of parking, we parked a few blocks away to walk around, but there is a parking lot nearby, plus parking for the shopping area. We loved everything in our experience visiting Bluetree! First off, the price for all the drinks were reasonable. Nowadays, lattes can go upwards for $7 or even more, but for the quality of drinks and service, a $5.75 latte is a great deal. We tried three drinks: the blueberry matcha, the dark cloud latte, and the purple cloud latte. Blueberry matcha: They used real blueberries rather than just a syrup, so you get some blueberry chunks in there. I kind of liked it, sort of like a natural boba if you will. The matcha flavor comes through and pairs well with the blueberry. Dark cloud latte: This may have been my favorite over the three drinks. You can never go wrong with black sesame with espresso. It's an underrated pairing. The nuttiness of the black sesame balances the espresso, making the drink smooth and sweet. And when you add that sea salt vanilla cold foam, it makes the perfect drink! Purple cloud latte: It's honestly difficult for me to find an ube latte with the right amount of ube. This was one of the better ones. Not the best, but it's up there. The coffee flavors pulls through, but there is no bitterness when you taste the ube milk. Best part of the latte was the ube cloud! It was so light and refreshing. We didn't want to mix it into our drink just so we can keep sipping at it! The cafe has a second floor if there isn't enough space in the main level, but we didn't check it out since we were just stopping by. They have a bathroom for customers and a self serve water station while you wait for your drinks. They also serve wine later in the day, and I imagine that would be a fun visit as well. Overall, I loved Bluetree and can't wait to stop by again when I'm in the area! read more

the drinks and food here are amazing! my go to drink is the ube coffee or cold brew with brown sugar foam! it's also a great spot to study/do work and parking is very convenient. read more

Decent coffee, great space to hangout or work for a couple of hours. Service was quick.

Their coffee and food are great. I was amazed by the price. It was very reasonable for the quality. I ordered extra to support them even a little. The atmosphere is awesome. I appreciate that the inside is not too cold like other cafes. The staff is friendly. They care about their customers. One of the members offered me water when I got food. I had latte so I didn't need it but I was grateful for their kindness. The other staff offered me a coaster for the latte cup. I appreciate their hospitality. The parking is free and easy to find; between Qing Mu and Bluetree Café on Keawe St. read more

Staff was kind and the coffee was delicious. the only thing to complain is this women who is always there with her dog. She always occupy 3 seats (one for herself, one for her bags, and lastly for the dog) and whenever i sit at the bar and I see her puppy she gives a mean attitude and says her dog is unfriendly....i wasn't even talking to her. Her hostile and unfriendly attitude was very infuriating. The most infuriating part was that she mouthed a "tsk" when I took the open seat (that wasnt the 3 seats) and she eyes me like i am some kind of distasteful human being(i guess she was occupying 4 seats then?).... when I wanted to talk to the staff i noticed they talked to her casually and catered to her....I immediately left after asking around other customers who said she was a manager or at least staff. It seems like a lot of people hate her and avoids the cafe at afternoon time when she is around. what also perplexes me is the internet connection is really bad. it is in the Kilobyte speed which is odd since when i speed tested with youtube it was ok. This indicates throttling by domain but i doubt the cafe is whitelisting specific websites or only allowing certain websites full speed (tested on a windows os, IOS, and android for speed test)...their internet speed is very slow to a worrying extent. In good conscious i cannot recommend this place as long as that one female is around....she makes the bar area like her castle and shows such a unfriendly and hostile attitude whenever anyone approaches the bar. Guess what lady! other customers are paying too so deal with it princess! read more

Love this place! I didn't realize it was so close to me. It's a bit hidden, but inside it's adorable with the perfect atmosphere. Great spot to get some work done, and I absolutely love their strawberry matcha. I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but three of my friends rave about the coffee. I'll definitely be making this one of my regular spots. read more

We were roaming about our Kaka'ako neighborhood when I noticed a new and second location of the Blue Tree Café. It's located near the main entrance of The Collection condominiums and townhouses on Keawe Street, directly across from SALT At Our Kaka'ako. Walking in, we were heartily greeted by 2 friendly workers (Natasha and sorry, I didn't get the male worker's name). Our eyes were immediately attracted to the natural wood furnishings, hanging bicycles, then up to a loft and back to the lighted menu board behind the order counter. We got to browse about this comfortable café while they prepared our beverages. Hm, I could see frequent visits to this café as a friendly and relaxing space for meeting with friends over healthy snacks or great cups of coffee, espresso or tea. This café is noted as a modern coffee and juice bar featuring a health conscious menu of vegan snacks, açaí bowls and juice cleansing programs. We came into the café after 5PM and realized that their business hours run Monday - Friday 6 am to 6 pm and on Weekends 8 am to 6 pm so we just ordered a couple of 16 oz smoothies (Very Verde and Choco Banana). Natasha brought out our beverages and gave us FREE reusable metal straws which can be returned for recycling or inserted into our next cold beverage. Great effort in reducing our plastic footprint! Oh, I asked about their parking arrangement in The Collection. Natasha stated that it's free in the parking structure. You can't miss Blue Tree Café as it's at the parking structure's entrance on Keawe Street. We sat for a few minutes admiring this new café but then moved on as they were closing for the day. We'll definitely return...hm, maybe we'll see you there tomorrow?! Blue Tree Café is a welcome addition to the Kaka'ako neighborhood. read more

Chai latte is a bit watery. Good place to do work though. Like the upstairs seating. Baristas are always friendly.

Great coffee and amazing staff! Love the fact that they have vegan milk alternatives!

We randomly visited Bluetree Cafe while walking around Honolulu. We had some time before a flight, so we decided to walk around a few blocks and explore the area. We wanted to sit for a minute and grab something to drink, so we found Bluetree Cafe on Yelp. It's in a great walkable area, and there's lots of street art around it, so it's a nice spot to sit. It's a really cute shop! They have some decor made from bicycles, which we thought was really cool. They have plenty of options for coffee, juices, smoothies, etc. I opted for a juice, and it was delicious! B had a smoothie and he enjoyed it as well. I also loved the glass bottle my juice came in, because I love to recycle and reuse when possible. I actually used the bottle for water in the airport, and I still have it now. If you're in the area and looking for a cute coffee shop to check out, Bluetree Cafe is a great spot! read more

Blue Tree lives up to its reputation as a modern coffee & juice bar with a health-conscious menu with vegan options. If you're looking to indulge, but also stay healthy, Blue Tree has delicious treats made fresh to satisfy your cravings. The ambience is the selling point of Blue Tree. It's perfect to grab a bite and drink with friends, or even better yet, making a productive study session a bit less droll. You have a solid choice between the Kapiolani location and the Collection. The matcha waffles and cinnamon waffles (two different menu options) are both worth a try. My personal favorite? The cinnamon had a satisfying crunch and the fresh fruit added a bit of natural flavor to bring it all together. It's enough to share, or to tackle on your own if you're feeling particularly ambitious. Parking is available for free with validation in the Collection. You may luck out with a spot at the metered stalls just around the corner. You'll be pleasantly surprised with the modern vibe that puts you in the right mindset for productivity and good company. read more

This newly opened coffee shop is a great addition to Kakaako. While all the coffee shops closes early in the area (except Starbucks), Blue Tree is open till 6pm. They also validate parking. The store is clean and nicely decorated. It comes with a spcaious bathroom as well. They also have big tables outside so I was able to enjoy coffee with my dog there. The menu consists of coffee, tea, smoothies, juices and acai bowls. It seems they have more varieties on smoothies and juices rather than coffee and tea. I had chai latte and it was good. My husband had caramel latte. Both of them costed $6 which is a bit higher than other places including Starbucks. I would come back if other coffee shops are closed or if I had my dog with me. read more

For the past 5-6 years i have been living in a place for 6 months and then i would move to another place after remodeling it... but now that i am getting old its time to finally settle so i am finally thinking on moving to a permanent place and Kakaako is a neighborhood i like so i am exploring all the food places cause thats super important for me and thats how i ended up here!! (Sorry long story lol) Here the review: -Ambience: cute inside! They have some seating in the second floor too! -Service: pretty good -Parking: inside the Collection building - commercial side (left side) -Food: Avocado toast: a little too too healthy for me but still pretty good Now their drinks is the best! The matcha latte is soo pure! I love it! Overall, +1 point for living around this area! read more
