This was my favorite breakfast place in hale koa. Loved my extra hot caffe latte each morning with a fresh pastry from the little cart in the lobby. It was the perfect way to start each day. read more

Average food, service was a little slow but friendly. Definitely a chill place to go for suitable prices.

They have basic Starbucks drinks. I appreciate that they open so early and have some hot food items available for a quick breakfast. The service is very quick once you order. There is typically a large line in the early morning. read more

This place is ok for just a cup of coffee. You would think there would be local foods available, but it's pretty much a watered down Starbucks. Also, for being on military property, the prices seemed a bit high. Lastly, service is painfully slow. read more

Pros: They're in the hotel, the staff is very friendly. The environment was beautiful, I don't even mind the long lines. Banana bread was perfect for a Cons: just one, and to me it's a big one! At 1.50 for an extra shot I want my full shot! First day, there was gentleman working the espresso machine and I could taste that I got the two full shots (regular order at home so I know the difference). The next day, I caught the young lady that works that station pour a tiny dribble of an already pulled shot of espresso. The day after that, I very nicely and quietly told the cashier about it and got NO extra shot! Ok, I'll play this game, you know I was watching . A couple days later, the man was back and I got my extra shots, he was the only reason I even ordered shots again! Overall, it was fine, but I've never been cheated out of shots or anything else, at any other Starbucks. read more

I honestly think this place is great. Considering their prices are affordable for those who serve. The PX isn't really a PX lol. It's like a tiny gas station shop without a gas station. They accommodated us for an upgrade to have two queen beds instead of a queen bed with a pull out sofa. It's our first time staying here and I am glad I got to experience it. read more

Java Cafe - Hale Koa Hotel - Partial ocean view on the 7th floor. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Small cafe in the Hale Koa hotel. Only one person was working which made the line really long at times. This is not a Starbucks, although they serve Starbucks products. So they have a limited menu of offerings. Pros: -caffeine option at the hotel -they have some eating options like danishes, cereal, and fruit Cons: -they had signs out on the counter which were not accurate. There was a sign that said they offered Horchata beverages. However, when I asked the worker for that when I ordered, she had no idea what I was talking about. I pointed to her the sign, she read it, and took it off the counter saying they don't offer that anymore. -long wait in line for your drinks -the staff person we had made drinks as we ordered it which didn't seem very productive instead of taking our whole order first. read more

This coffee shop is located in Hale Koa in the lobby. The coffee shop opens early! I picked up a coffee and a pastry just after 6am on a Saturday. They serve Starbucks coffee and Tazo teas. They also sell a variety of pastries, fresh fruit, water bottles and juices. I ordered a Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato and a Sticky Bun. Prices are comparable to other coffee shops. The Sticky Bun was $3 and my coffee was over $5. The Sticky Bun was delicious. The coffee was on point. There was only one barista and she was friendly and fast. Overall, this coffee shop is convenient for hotel guest of Hale Koa. They serve Starbucks coffee so you don't have to drive around looking for a Starbucks in Waikiki. read more

Java Cafe - Hale Koa Hotel - Sticky Bun - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Customer service was good, the gentleman working was very polite. We had shown up at a time the line was empty so service was quick. The drinks were good. It's nice to have this option downstairs for easy access. Quality of the food is where I'd like to leave my review. We got the scramble bowl & the burrito offered. They are pre made and in the warmer. They were so dry and tough to eat, it was so hard to stomach. The bacon was dry and inedible. Will not be ordering again. We also got a "glaze donut" which was anything but your average glazed donut. It was slimy and also inedible. Almost a sugar paste, and not in a good way. read more

This nice little coffee cart hits the spot when a full breakfast won't do but you still want that hot drink fix. They make a tasty caramel macchiato. Located right outside the elevators on the beautiful open air lobby level of the Hale Koa, it's in just the right place to hit it and git it. read more

I always enjoy coming here. Great service. I never understand why people buy breakfast at these places then complain about breakfast. Go find breakfast. For coffee and a pastry Hale Koa Java Cafe is perfect. read more

I'm giving it 3 stars as I just find the pastries and other food items to be highly exaggerated for a place that should be a little wallet conscious. read more

Not bad, but could speed up service. Better coffee easy to find in the nearby area. The baked goods seemed to be mass-produced, but made to look like there was an attempt to make them look more homemade. The coffee is typical Starbucks, but there are plenty of other quality coffee shops in area. The wait time was very exaggerated. Granted there was a large order before us in line (very discourteous on the part of that customer). However, from working in food service in the past, I know there is a better way to handle large orders even during a busy morning rush: instead of having both employees work to complete this order, have one employee work on the large order, and the other employee continue with the smaller orders to continue to move people through the line. I did not want to continue to wait, but my traveling buddy wanted to wait. read more

Nice cafe located in the Hale Koa. Good place to grab a morning coffee and get some work done on the terrace.

I enjoyed getting my coffee here in the morning before anyone else was up .On more than one occasion I was first in line and the coffee's and lattes that I had were just as good as later in the day . The Haupia buns, rolls , treats were fantastic .I had Haupia Malasada's , just wonfderful and a recommended treat for any visitor from off- island . Haupia is Coconut cream, and malasadas are sort of hawaiian donut holes so just imagine the sweet taste. Prices were reasonable for a coffee , brewed or steamed hot drink of any other kind . All the standard coffee stop drinks. A great stop in the morning read more

As the Duke for February 2014, I can say that we drank enough Starbuck's blend to maintain our caffeine fix for a month. The lady who runs the stand is super friendly and remembers your order. Drinks were great and the prices were slightly less than the Starbuck's at the Hilton next door. read more

Great location for coffee and breakfast in the morning. If you are going someplace you can pick up your drink and quick breakfast (yogurt, bagel, banana) and head to your destination. The baristas were always nice! read more

I needed my COFFEE FIX especially because I was helping my sister in law with her wedding that day. I was her wedding coordinator that day. So, I called the hotel ahead of time to make sure there was some coffee cart or cafe available on the property. Or I would bring my own iced or instant coffee ahead of time. Yeah, I am a coffee whore! Cute little coffee cart located in the lobby of the Hale Koa Hotel. They open at 0400-1400. (it is a military hotel) Perfect time, because it was a morning wedding! Quick and great service! They have the usual Starbucks coffees available hot or iced. They also carry baked goods, fruit and snacks! Convenient coffee place to come to when your staying at the Hale Koa Hotel. read more

I was happy with the prices and how early they opened up. My wife and I got our coffees and watched the sunrise from our hotel room balcony. Limited menu and can be slow if the line is long. Passes my test because they had the important stuff...coffee. read more

STOP. Don't do it! My wife and I both ordered a cappuccino and were VERY VERY disappointed. We were actually disgusted. It reminded me of a time when I once picked up a drink with someone's nasty cigarette butt in it. I think they reuse the grinds after they fill a dirty trash can with them. Never again! Waste of $11. read more

Not a real coffee place. I would give it a 1/2 a star if I could. Nice hotel but someone needs to learn how to make coffee.

Open nice and early for all you jet lagged travelers. It is a very convenient place to get the morning coffee or a cold and fast breakfast. Lady working there was super nice. read more

Very convenient if you're staying in the Hale Koa, but VERY slow. If there's even a short line is faster to walk a couple blocks to Starbucks read more
