I usually sleep in on the weekends, but woke up this morning to go to the Kakaako Farmers Market…read more It had a lot more vendors than I expected. We couldn't decide on what to eat. The significant other spotted this coffee truck and wanted to get a coffee. He got a cold brew $5 plus Hawaiian flavor (mac nut, coconut, vanilla) for $0.25 more. It was alright. I took a few sips and couldn't make out the flavoring. It wasn't until we got to the bottom of the cup that we got some of the flavor. It had a little sweetness to it.

Staff: friendly Interior: n/a Exterior: trailer Wait time: 5 mins Parking: lot Overall comments: The kooky monster had a light hint of mint with the mocha. The nanner bread used their homemade banana milk, which wasn't too sweet although I wouldn't have minded if it was. Cute coffee trailer that serves classic drinks n' fun named lattes!

Refreshing beverage in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Located on the campus of the University of Hawaii, Kooks Coffee is closest to Dole Street, between Andrew's Amphitheater and Krauss Hall. It's a blue food truck, so look for it as you cross Dole Street from the lower campus parking structure. Service was efficient and polite! I got the Coconut Cold Brew which was just right! It wasn't too sweet nor too bitter! Thanks for the pick-me-up under the shady trees, in the cool, gentle trade winds!

Little Bakery & illy coffee inside of Kahala hotel, and resort. Located a little past the…read moreelevators.- take a left down the hallway. Opened about 2 weeks ago (was previously in a pop up like location). This is an actual lil Cafe. At 6:30 in the morning- Barbara is most helpful and pleasant. She is very knowledgeable and upbeat. She is certainly memorable talking to those who come to the cafe. It's a pick up location. There are no chairs located in the café. However, there are seating areas in the lobby and also overlooking the dolphins and pool Aside from the illy coffee machine. It's a press button machine and automatically makes your espresso coffee or lattes. Chai latte is amazing. They also have juices, water, energy drinks, soda and tea... They have fresh bakery items- we tried the Apple danish, chocolate croissant, banana bread (I think that's what it was- it wasn't a muffin)- and bear claw. I like them in that order. They have many more to choose from. With our reservation at the hotel, we had a golden ticket that allowed us bakery goods, fruit, and a drink for 2 of us each. Yes, like a continental breakfast. They also have specialty cookies and toffee and other items to choose from. Great little café. I somehow want say they're open till 1130 but I'm not exactly sure.

Snack in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. In-between breakfast and lunch, we were looking for something to eat and/or drink. We found this Hot New Business on our Yelp app and drove over to Century Center. Located on the ground level of the high rise, Knockbox Açai & Espresso does not validate parking, but you will get a 15-minute grace period. Service was very helpful and efficient! I got my açai bowl, scanned my parking ticket at the kiosk, and drove off. There are some bar stools in the cozy shop for dining-in, but I ate my blueberries, strawberries, banana, honey, and açai in the car! It's unfortunate that the parking situation is challenging. The worker at the counter suggested that we get a massage in one of the businesses in the building, but we declined... maybe next time? Remember to get a Loyalty Card!

Knockbox Açaí & Espresso opened its doors about a month ago on the ground floor of Century Center which is on the corner of Kapiolani and Kalākaua intersection. You can find them in the former Teapresso location and though this shop is very cozy it does some bar seating with four stools and menu items like coffee, smoothies, fresh lemonade along with açaí bowl, avocado toast and pictured are a couple items from their limited lunch menu. Sadly they don't validate parking but the lot does give you 15 minutes grace which is enough for you to literally grab and go so sadly I kept my order simple with a Guava Lemonade which is freshly squeezed to order...yup and that's why the fellow did along with guava fruit puree it was a nice and fresh sip that worked well as the temperature is slowly starting to soar. If you're ever in the area the service here is nice and friendly though parking is the real issue which sadly makes it hard to give this small biz some a try. Thank you!

It's a small place and there are actually a couple of parking spots in the back. The menu is pretty straightforward and small. I got the green juice and when I asked if the shrimp or chicken was better, the woman said she likes the shrimp, but I was able to get half and half, so got to try both! The food came out pretty quickly and some cute tables inside and even a small patio outside. At that time, there were no malasadas, so I think you need to get there early to have a chance at those. The shrimp were so good and the chicken was so tender - so happy I got to try both. Will definitely be back in the future!

Always nice to see another option in Kakaako, this shop located at the Koula building at Kakaako. I…read moream not sure about the parking situation because I walk there from my place. They do have variety of pastry, sandwich, cakes and drinks. I must say the cake is not that cheap, one small size cake set you back about $45. What nice about it is they have some outside table and seating areas, however, due to the on going construction work, you are looking at a long wooden wall when you are looking west now, once the construction is done, you will be facing a park with green grass. They open daily and the staffs are nice and friendly, check it out.

It was too late for me to have coffee, but it looked good. I'll have this spot on my list for my next morning walk. The place is somewhat hidden among several sets of high rise condos and hotels east of Waikiki. There are a few parking spaces just outside the door. Worth a visit. Easy walk from the beach if you want local coffee.

It has such a charming, community-focused vibe. The coffee was rich, well-crafted and truly enjoyable. Their matcha isn't quite my personal favorite yet but that's just based on my own taste. Service can be a bit on the slower side since there's usually just one staff member handling everything cashier, barista and more. They're doing their best but if you're in a hurry, this might not be the ideal stop. That said, I genuinely appreciate their effort and friendliness. Overall, I'd happily stop by anytime I'm in the area whether I'm working nearby, going for a run or just in need of a caffeine pick-me-up.
