Their soft opening was 5 days ago. They are an international cafe inspired by eclectic Asia. Owners, Ernest and Jeanne are super friendly, moved from Singapore and first time cafe owners. Their hours are currently 7am-11am and close on Mondays, but they are working on expanding as they get used to their business. I didn't think I could make it out until the weekend but I drove down this morning to support new local business! The owners were at the front door when I walked in. I ordered their cafe mocha and their croissant as I was told they are super yummy. I chatted with Jeanne while my coffee is being made. They are working on their menu and will eventually add Singapore comfort foods! I am extremely excited for that! The mocha was strong and their croissant was crispy on the outside and super buttery and soft on the inside. I haven't had freshly made croissant like this in a long time. You cannot compare the croissant to Safeway or Foodland! You have to try it to appreciate! I will have to come back to try their other pastries and their pomelo iced tea, and definitely visit when they introduce their Singappre comfort food menu! read more

Cafe Kopi is always amazing! They have the best croissants on island- try their almond croissant. We tried their coffee for the first time a couple weeks ago and it immediately made our top 3 coffee shops in Oahu. They do a perfect amount of syrup for their lattes, not too sweet. Their oat milk isn't too overpowering. Their espresso is always perfect, so smooth!! Also, shout out to Ari for making us the best drinks today and being so kind! We love Kopi read more

Can't say enough about this amazing cafe! The owners are so personable and they truly care about their customers. It shows in the great care that they take in making every drink and all of the delicious food, but also in how they greet you and want to get to know you. My go-to order has been their matcha latte (best one I've had on island) and an almond croissant. I just tried the Laksa and can also highly recommend it! Great atmosphere, top-notch customer service, and amazing food. read more

Excruciatingly slow!!! Don't go here if you don't have all day. Ordered two panini sandwiches. three people were working on it and it still took for ever! read more

Clueless young people standing around without an idea that this is a restaurant. Don't go here unless you have an hour to kill waiting for a sandwich, read more

Been here a couple of times and not impressed. The lady owner came to the table and was talking really close. I think she was trying to see how the food was but she was right in my face during Covid. Came back on another day and had a ham and cheese croissant and it was hard and stale. Then ordered a pumpkin croissant and it was also hard and stale. One was warmed and the other wasn't as I wanted to see if it had to do with warming it. read more

Worked here the other day and the music was super loud. Seemed like they were not encouraging people to work here though it's one of the only coffee shops in Kailua with seating right now that has WiFi (giving it an extra star for that). It seemed too loud for conversation too. At one point this rap song came on which started with a minute of a girl having an orgasm with no music. It got really awkward and then another customer cracked a joke and the whole place burst out laughing. This place has a lot of potential given the lack of competition. read more

Beautiful desserts and they taste wonderful. Took a variety to some friends and we enjoyed all of the selections. Can't go wrong with this place! read more

I like this cafe, so I give 4 star, but I was pretty disappointed by their laksa. The Noodle was not good quality, the soup wasn't hot, the flavor wasn't so flavorful.. I like their pastries, but I wish the croissants are less greasy.. good customer service and good cafe overall..:) read more

Baked goods were SO GOOD! My daughter is a very picky eater but she loved the cream filled pastries! One of her favorite snacks on our trip!

Food is amazing (especially their baked goods) and the staff is very friendly! The only thing is that the music is too loud sometimes so it's hard to concentrate if you're studying. read more

MY FAVORITE COFFEE SHOP IN KAILUA! I adore the small space but with ample comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. It's fun to look at the local art for sale displayed on the walls! Their house made chai or matcha with lavender or pumpkin syrup is delightful. Not to mention their vast array of beautiful artisan pastries! Love the variety of music they play. Super personable staff who really care about the community. And so cool they have a rotating weekend food menu! I love you Cafe Kopi! read more

If you have never tried curry Laksa, make your way to Kailua and the newly opened Cafe Kopi! We are so excited to have found out about this cute little cafe, that not only serves delicious coffee and pastries but also one of our favorite comfort noodle dishes from our hometown Singapore, where the really lovely owners, Jeanne and Earnest are from. We can't wait to go back. If you sit outside in their courtyard in the back, your dog can go too! read more

Wow -- the lattes, teas, croissants, bread pudding and gyoza are out of this world. Lots of outdoor and indoor seating choices. Breezy -- lots of ventilation indoors -- and feels safe for those looking for a place to eat out during the pandemic. Friendly staff. Love the owners, Ernest and Jeanne, a dynamic well-traveled husband-wife team whose tastes are refined and highly informed. What a charming place -- decor so cute and retro (handpicked vintage pieces), walls featuring local artists -- the perfect escape. This place seems to attract the creative and energetic tribe, and as it turned out, we bumped into a few friends while there. A great neighborhood hangout. They just had their soft opening and will continue adding more menu items. If their current offerings are any indication, I can't wait for what may show up on the menu in the future. Been there twice and already eager to return. read more

Wonderful latte. Breakfast panini with bacon is awesome. There is parking in the back.

Cute cafe vibe, while relaxing or doing some work. Cute outside option to enjoy your coffee and pastry. Tried the lavender latte. Nice flavor, subtle and not overpowering taste. Very good! read more

Adorable coffee shop in the middle of a bunch of great shopping! I stopped in and got a delicious cold brew Kona coffee. I had just eaten lunch so I didn't get any of the pastries, but everything on display looked incredible! I will definitely be back. :) read more

Went to Egghead, then Chadlou's, but Cafe Kopi has by far superior espresso drinks! Also their Singaporean Laksa on weekends is great!

We visited Kailua to support local coffee shops while having a business meeting, but were disappointed with the service. The ambiance is nice. Seems to be a local hangout. Don't mind spending $3.50 for a 12 oz cup of house coffee, but when we asked for a refill, the trainee casher said, "we don't have refills." Never heard of this before. [[Maybe better answer could be, "we can refill your coffee but you have to pay another $3.50."] The finality of the remark was stunning, so I asked if we could pay for a refill and $3.50 was in the answer. Not used to rudeness, but trying to get over it, we ordered the two additional cups. We didn't finish our coffees but decided that we'd never return again. We were there to talk about local small businesses and how we should support operations. Better to visit Morning Brew, Coffee Bean, or two alternative shops immediately down the sidewalk. The staffs are nicer and more welcoming to their customers. Save your time and visit Kopi's neighboring shops instead. read more

What a lovely place! The owners are very friendly. The cold brew was refreshing and did not need creamer! Loved the recommended pumpkin spice croissant! Can't wait to come back! read more

Super cool spot w/ modern & island vibes. Food & coffee options for everyone! Hidden gem within Kailua town.

Such a gem in Kailua! The owners Ernest and Jeanne are so lovely, attentive, and kind. The sweets and coffee are delicious - the lilikoi cheesecake was so fresh and to die for! I also tried the laksa, a Singaporean local dish. As a Singaporean myself, I can say their laksa tastes like the real thing! So good and a fond reminder of home. Parking in the back is ample and convenient. Great atmosphere, music, and service as well - a wonderful place to spend a weekend morning/afternoon! read more

Agree with other reviews. Just made it to the top of my list for almond croissants - no skimpy fillings here. great vibe and outdoor back seating. Talking Heads? Yes, thank you! Can't wait to try lunch- read more

Awesome place! The Singaporean Laksa Ramen dish was amazing. The regular pastries like the fruit tart and ham and cheese croissant was wonderful. Not too sweet. Soft inner bread but crunchy texture. Flat white was smooth. read more

This place is just pure awesome. Great vibes, great coffee and pastries and the owners are incredible. They really take the time to chat with the customers and get to know them. read more

This place is fantastic! I wish I found it sooner! The ambience and the people make this café so welcoming. I went in to order a coffee, which I fully enjoyed, and ended up ordering rich flaky pastries and an incredible noodle dish. Before now, I had to travel to Honolulu or the North Shore for good ethnic cuisine. I am so ecstatic that this café has opened in my town. I implore everyone to try it! read more

Best cafe in Kailua! Homemade Singaporean dishes are a incredible. Strongly recommend the almond croissant

This cafe is a labor of love! Ernest and Jeanne are so welcoming that you feel like family by the time you leave. The Mac nut latte is our favorite so far! Can't wait to go back and try the lilikoi cheesecake and some of the homemade Singapore dishes for lunch. So happy to see this cafe open in our town. read more

Cafe Kopi has the best croissants on Oahu. The atmosphere is amazing with great sound system, very relaxing indoor and outdoor areas to sit with comfortable tables/chairs. The staff and owners are wonderful. Try the new coffee, seaweed jelly with coconut cream or my favorite the vanilla, lavender iced latte. read more

A friend and I had ordered coffee from Cafe Kopi and while we were waiting for them to be made, we had sat down. While sitting, we were eating food that we had gotten prior to coming to the cafe and working on homework. The owner came out and let us know that it wasn't okay to bring outside food in but he would let it slide this time. I let him know we ordered and were waiting for our coffee, all was good. Ten minutes later (still no coffee) he came out and said that we "are taking up prime dining space" and that we needed drinks or food from them to be able to sit there. I reminded him once again that we were waiting for our coffee. We finally got our coffee and left as we felt we were being treated unfairly. I am pretty disappointed as this was a regular place for my friend and I to study at. Although after being treated the way we were, we will not be returning. read more

I lived in Malaysia for about a year adoring the different types of laksa there, and since moving to Honolulu I've been searching for a place that has an equally delicious equivalent. I'm very willing to make the drive up to Kailua for the Singaporean laksa at Cafe Kopi - sedap-lah!!! Nowhere else does it better. Simple yet so much depth of flavor... I loved it. Jeanne and Ernest are also so kind and enthusiastic about the food and café. This place should definitely be on your list of go-to morning, lunch, or dinner restaurants. read more

Comfortable, cute outdoor seating and the best almond croissant on island?! I'll definitely wait back! Can't wait to try their savory selection as well! read more

So I wasn't sure what to expect because I'm a huge fan of noodle soups and also a huge fan of croissants and I can be pretty picky about both. I ordered the pan du chocolat, an iced chai tea and the famous laksa. I was pleased that all of them were really good. The croissant was really flaky and good sized-- my husband is French background so he's really picky about croissants as well-- he gave a thumbs up. The soup was amazing and really hit the spot-- and even the chai tea-- which 99% of the time I'm disappointed in when I try it at new spots-- was really good. It wasn't as spicy as I would like but it had a really rich flavor which was different that I enjoyed, as I find a lot of chai teas to be too weak. Overall I would recommend. I like the easy parking out back and outdoor seating. It's dog friendly. They are Covid safe. All in all a great cafe. I just wish I live in walking distance. read more

We stopped by this new place on our Sunday bike ride (usually from our house to Lokahi Market). We rend to stop by the Collective for Coffee and live music on Sundays and we did but it rained so we continued and found this place next to Chad Louis on Kihapai. Two things I can tell you, one, they were serving this incredible thai Laksa, I mean this thing was delicious. Huge shrimp, the inari-like tofu but better, Ramen noodles, sprouts and herbs and aromatic spices like you're sitting in a remote thai village. I always say when you're hungry,, everything tastes great, i.e. your standards have naturally been lowered. But I wasn't hungry at all, we were just killing some time. So unexpected, because they just look like a coffee shop. Second thing, their restroom (which I was relieved to find they even had) is equipped with a bidet and auto soap dispenser, which is just so awesome. Go to this place! read more
