    Giving you the morning perk... Located in the Medical Arts Bldg right in between Junpuu and InVision, Coral Cafe is a tiny kiosk and it's not just the cheesy decor that will get your attention but their coffee is a great smooth start to your day...literally. After dropping off mom at her early 6:45 morning appointment at InVision and Yelp check the time it opens 7am but noticed she was already servicing several folks 15 minutes early that's a wonderful sight to see. Not the usual coffee drinker but did notice they have several different sips though several seems to be Mocha items wasn't in the mood for syrup type of drinks decided on a simple "Honey Latte" and was delighted how fast it was though at $7.50 was harsh but it was a lovely and smooth drink. One thing that I wouldn't recommend is their "Turkey & Swiss Toasted Sandwich" with mustard which is exactly that and nothing else and at $8 this one really hurts, placed in a brown bag unwrapped and with some trifold towels...ewww! The saddest thing is that I have bread and deli meat at home and could've done this but was hoping this would be something a bit more. LIke one of their signs that read "Nothing Makes Sense Before Coffee" is true but know that I did love their coffee and now that I'm awake and aware things are so much more better. Thank you!

    Came here for the first time. I was taking my son to his dentist appointment and found this little cafe within the building right in front of Junpuu. Anyways, I ordered an iced Thai latte and it was pretty delicious. They also sale other drinks and some food items. The female staff member there was friendly and fast. I got my drink in about 3mins or less. Street parking is available and there is parking in the building, but you have to pay depending on how long you stay there.

    Located in the bottom of an office building, next to Junpuu ramen - across from the symphony This small cafe makes an amazing tasting latte and has very good service.

    Turkey Swiss panini & Iced peppermint mocha..delicious

    Coral Café is now in my work neighborhood, tucked inside of the Medical Arts building. For lunch I had the turkey and swiss panini with an iced peppermint mocha. The panini was pressed with muscle and came with a slight crisp to it. What may seem like a simple sandwich to make is often done wrong, Coral Café nails it with a panini that is light, super flavorful and well balanced, pretty much a perfect panini. I'm a pretty traditional coffee drinker and I especially love the taste of coffee so the iced peppermint mocha was outside of my comfort zone. I loved that the iced peppermint mocha still had a very bold espresso taste(which is freshly pressed) but came with a slightly sweet peppermint sidekick. Don't let this petite, breezy open air café fool you, if you're looking for a spot that makes high quality coffee and also happens to make the perfect panini Coral Café is this place. **Update 1/3/2019 was just made the best black eye(black double shot) I've ever had, super strong and super smooth** No Coral Cafe won't write your name on the cup or make you an awful Unicorn Frappuccino for you to post, what Coral Cafe will do is make you a far superior coffee or espresso product.

    Great little kiosk! The staff was friendly and quick. The menu has a great selection and the coffee is hot and strong. I chose the Hazelnut Mocha and a blueberry bagel with cream cheese. The mocha was robust and flavorful. My bagel was toasted perfectly! There is even one table with two chairs in the lobby just for the kiosk. I like it!

    Coral Cafe is a cheerful coffee kiosk in the Medical Arts Building. Owner Becca is happy to talk you through the different choices and make a cup of coffee you'll like. In general, the coffee is on the sweet side, try the Thai Espresso or ask for a Honey Latte. Regulars ask for a Stamp Card, 10 stamps earn you a free drink. Coral Cafe has the best espresso drinks in the area, now you know.

    Professional and way to respond to customer feedback Now that's customer service on point......NOT. Bitter

    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.

    This place has been my absolute favorite for good drinks and breakfast food…read more I was staying at the Outrigger Hotel that is attached to this cafe and I went here almost every single day. Food: 5/5 I was able to try several of their brunch items including their Ham & Cheese Croissant, their Turkey Pest Sandwich, and their Traditional Waffle. Almost all of them were a hit! I especially liked their Turkey Pesto. It paired beautifully with their salad. Their breakfast waffle was also light and fluffy and their fruit was fresh. Drinks: 5/5 I tried their many lattes, coffees, smoothies. Their açaí smoothie was not my favorite because it had a lot of unblended seeds. I did love their leans & green smoothie, it had so many fruits and greens in it, and it also tasted so good. Service: 5/5 This place had wonderful service. All of their servers were so kind and they explained their menu so well. The food and drinks came out pretty timely and everything was fresh to order. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is attached to the Outrigger Hotel so they share a cafe area with the pool. It was beautiful to be able to enjoy breakfast by the poolside. It was giving summer vibes outside. Inside their cafe was very tropical with plants everywhere. I would definitely come back here for the food, the drinks, the happy hour, the ambiance, and the service!

I ordered the breakfast burrito, which was a really reasonable price for the heart of Waikiki. On top of that, it was both big and satisfying. It's mainly made with eggs, potatoes, bell peppers, and cheese, so if you like eggs, you'll enjoy it. Some of my friends thought it had too many eggs and lacked actual meat of some sort, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The burritos are premade and warmed up after you order, so you can't really make any modifications. You can also order from the restaurant upstairs, but we were told the wait is around 30 minutes. I also tried the strawberry matcha, which was decent but nothing special. It's located on the first floor of a hotel and has plenty of seating, including options for larger groups.

    Honestly, I keep coming back because I'm clearly in a toxic relationship with this coffee shop…read more It's my favorite spot, for the convienence and view - but they frequently treat my coffee order like a long-lost friend they forgot to invite to the party. Like, I've ordered coffee and food here before and they've just weiiiiirdly forgotten to make it...multiple times. Today I waited 25 minutes, just vibing with my friend while they finished their food and drink, before realizing I had to ask where MY drink was. They apologized and fixed it immediately, but it's becoming a 'thing.' I'm still going to come here, but I'm honestly looking for a new favorite spot where they don't forget to make my coffee, at a coffee shop. If you go here, bring a book, be prepared to wait, and definitely don't be shy about asking for your drink. It's a test of patience, but the coffee is good when you finally get it!
