    YUMMY Acai Bowl
    Denise J.

    This location in Prince Waikiki Hotel is always busy especially in the mornings. I ordered the Classic Acai Bowl NO bananas to enjoy at the pool. I felt the Acai was very pricey for $17.50, but it was pretty delicious. With only 2 people working the line moved pretty fast.

    Pastries. Come early or they're in out

    Kay is super nice. And Isaac makes the best Mac nut iced coffee. Both have super nice service with a smile. They have pastries and lots of accessories etc. Must come back

    Counter inside hotel

    Stayed a the Prince in Waikiki and had a Mocha with Almond Croissant. Service is good. Lots of seating available inside or outside. Great place to grab something to eat and relax while you are waiting or before you go out in Waikiki. You can also access from the street and it's located near Ala Moana Shopping Center.

    The menu!

    Fast and super friendly service, after we checked in we knew we had a long night ahead of us so we went down to grab coffee! I had the Kona frost mocha and wife had the Hawaiian! Right in the lobby of Prince Waikiki Hotel this place is super clean and had a lot of space to sit just outside the glass doors.

    The antioxidant açaí bowl with cacao nibs
    Lauren D.

    For a hotel coffee shop, this place is pretty good and decently priced for GOOD coffee. Over our weekend staycation we got to try a couple things. The Hawaiian Latte with an extra shot and less sweet was perfect. It was unique and tasted different. I recommend getting it less sweet because with an added shot and me asking them for less sweetener, it was still pretty sweet. The cold brew with haupia cold foam was good, but kinda weak. Food wise, if you need a quick bite this place is good. The antioxidant açaí bowl was super good with the little crunchy cacao nibs. I loved it! Coffee here will cost you $8-$10 for a large. So it's expensive, but it's Waikiki and it's good coffee. I like that the employees pull each shot by hand. Keep in my mind this little stand gets quite busy and service is slow on weekend mornings especially. I'd definitely recommend it still if you are a coffee lover like me!

    Kona chocolate chip muffin and cold brew
    Crystal X.

    Their cold brew is really good -- it's bright and fruity. I also love their Kona chocolate chip muffin. The specialty drinks are too sweet though. My bf ordered a local latte and it tasted like a literal sugar overload. I'd come back for their cold brew and muffin!

    coconut, chia,blue berries, and yummy cocoa nibs
    Karen P.

    If you're open at 7am, have good coffee, a short line and fancy baked goods, the most delicious chia pudding and the ambiance of the Prince (or in the Moana Surfrider hotel), you get 5 stars. Service was quick, friendly ( tho they might consider writing names on cups to avoid the Aarons, Erins, Darrens and Karens from rushing the same cup). Get your morning cup and walk over to the hotel to sip in paradise.

    Iced strawberry matcha
    Lex H.

    I got the iced strawberry matcha! 4/5 stars for me, it was sweet and delicious, however, the matcha taste more like milk once mixed all together. The service was quick and the baristas were nice. It's located right when you enter the hotel and is in the lobby. If you're wanting something quick and decent I'd recommend coming here.

    The cafe is small and located inside the lobby area of the Prince Waikiki Hotel. I ordered a Build Your Own Açaí Bowl with Granola, Bananas, and Honey. The granola wasn't overly crunchy and tasted nice and sweet. The bananas used were perfectly ripened and the açaí was a nice thickness. Overall this is a good açaí bowl to get on the go or if you are headed to be pool side at the hotel.

    Really great start to our trip in Hawaii! Coffee flavor was there but not completely overpowering. Our first time trying coffee with macadamia nut and it was a 10/10. My husband also tried their breakfast burrito and it was really good and flavorful according to him. Would def recommend!

    A convenient spot for coffee located inside of Prince Waikiki. We went based off of another person's recommendation and were not disappointed. The quality of the coffee is very good and they have a variety of drink combinations available. With an oat milk substitution, the drink ended up being almost $10, which was higher than what I would normally pay, but I did so because of the convenience. They have a shop available as well where you can buy the coffee beans to take home. I arrived right after they opened at 6am and there was already a small line. By the time that I left around 6:15am, the line had 15+ people waiting to order.

    Brewing things here... Right in the lobby of Prince Waikiki is Honolulu Coffee and you know it's a must stop for many and lucky for them as they serve up all sorts of yummy treats like I did with this Strawberry Matcha Scone as this massive goodness made with match and bits of white chocolate with a strawberry drizzle...it's a hunk of loveliness! Need a bit of perk I decided on Likikoi Foam Cold Brew which I recommend you stir it up as the bite will get you but love the light and refreshing combo that I really needed to start my day (at 11am lol!) but filled with errands. The vibe at Prince Waikiki is so welcoming with lots and lots of various seating both inside and outside making it easy to find your space alone or with a bestie to enjoy your much needed break. The staff here though was nice talked among themselves quite a bit and never acknowledged when given a tip didn't basic service and continued to talk about their schedule...too bad as this is such a lovely place that they're unable to give just a minute of their time to you. Thank you!

    The food was very good, my stepmom loved how the restaurant served beer for breakfast, but she ended up getting a cocktail instead, haha! I still dream about my macadamia nut iced coffee, it was so, so good. I miss it more each day. The service was great, i love how the waiters wore cool tropical shirts and had charming personalities. The overall ambiance of the restaurant itself was very nice, small and picturesque. I loved the open feel and the surrounding area as well

It's possible some ingredients were locally sourced and just unfamiliar to our mainland palates, or maybe we simply caught them on an off day. The servers were curt but friendly, likely because the place was packed with tourists.

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?

Since it was their anniversary on Sunday, also got their celebratory funfetti cupcake which also like their baked goods did not disappoint. The croissant base of many of their pastries is flaky.

It's such a neat take to have char siu in a croissant. We are used to having it in the doughy bao bread but in a croissant, savory with a crunchy outside tastes so much better. I love sweet but this one wasn't overly sweet, who would have thought that mango and chocolate pair so well together. It's the summer months, fresh mango on pastries. It was the perfect ripeness.

I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try.

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9).
