Kai is a really great place for coffee! We were on a long walk, but on the way back, I really needed coffee. We stopped here and I got the Kai Coffee signature drink. I asked for macadamia milk which enhanced the flavor. This is a really good drink! So well balanced! The staff is really friendly especially under pressure because they were busy. Lots of tourists...and not friendly ones either...LOL! Lighten up! You're in Waikiki...it's always busy! Debs and I grabbed two chairs and sat to the side. Great place to watch everyone. Mahalo Kai! read more

Don't be discouraged if the lines are long, the staff move very quickly and efficiently. The coffee is ok here but the baristas do let the shots sit for a long time so it becomes a dead shot (bitter). Theres really nothing that stands out at this place except that it's a typical tourist trap. read more

So I have spent so much time in this coffee shop. I could probably file it and write it off in someway on my tax returns. So I have been drawn lots and lots of drawing because here on vacation and I am on the Artist. On top of great coffee, kind people fabulous service lovely ambience, best view. The tables are also very sturdy. So if you are working on something like a laptop. or just want some stability to your surface. This is a great spot as well. They have two locations right across the street from each other which I absolutely love one starts early in the morning the other finishes late in the evening so I can just float from one to the other. I have been getting açai bowl almost every day And hot coffee and cold coffee and just listening to all the people speaking different languages. It was really cool. read more

I am staying in Waikiki for the next few days. I decided to stop at Kai Coffee before heading to my conference. This place is super cute. I love the vibe and the set up. You wait in line to put in your order. The line seems long but you get through it pretty fast. After putting in your order and paying for it, you go to the other side to wait for them to prepare your drink and call your name. For as busy as it was, I didn't have to wait long. I got a coconut frappicino with oatmilk. It was delicious and a great way to start my morning. If you are in the area, you should definitely check it out. read more

The crepe photo is misleading. The actual crepe is way better! The Kai coffee is also great. The burritos are fine but not memorable. read more

I was worried that going to a chain on the beach would not be anything more than an ordinary experience I was truly wrong I ordered the macadamia nut latte, which seems to be their special and it was perfect Not sweet at all They had a macadamia nut milk that I could upgrade to you so I decided to try 100% recommend read more

I was pleasantly surprised when I got a message after I had posted my review so I wanted to write an update. I love that they took the review as a way to see how they can improve; they promised to address everything that was mentioned. I genuinely appreciate every effort to make this unpleasant experience right for us. Any company or business owner with integrity will take accountability instead of just make an excuse. Great location as it is right across the beach, and walking distance to hotels and restaurants. read more

Kai has some of the best coffees on the strip. There's always a long line, it opens at 6:30, and most of the days we come at 6:30 and there's like 5 people ahead. One day we came at 7am and it was a line out the door, waited about 20-30 minutes ish. I usually get the Kai latte or the chai latte. Both good. My husband gets 3 espresso shots over ice. The coffee is good, they make it well here, but super busy in the mornings. read more

Got a Caramel Frappe with oat milk, they said they couldn't put coffee in it since the frappe with coffee is pre made, which I get. But after receiving it, it was just blended oat milk with a shaved ice texture with chunks and no flavor. Do not recommend :( read more

Update on Kai coffee located on Kalakaua. The other day I ran out of Kai coffee grinds so needed to pick up more. Normally I go to the location on Kapahulu but they close early during the weekday . So I had to go to their Waikiki location and I found metered parking luckily on Ohua and Kalakaua Ave. The old saying goes if you like something so much you're going to pay the price . lol this small bag for coffee 7oz for $21. But it's real good and I like to support local read more

Been here multiple times and since I'm in town, why not Kai. My "go to" is their iced kona latte, can't go wrong. I think it is better than Kona Purveyors in my opinion. I like the wholesomeness. Haven't tried their breakfast yet. I'm sure it's delish. Just grab your cup of ice joe and take a stroll alongside the beach in the morning. Decent price, I would get a large. Service is quick, they get you in and out. read more

So convenient that this coffee shop is right around the corner from the hotel at Alohilani resort! We stayed at the hotel and I was able to make my way to this coffee shop. It was super busy in the morning, but the line moves smoothly. I tried the Kai latte, which was very good The espresso was a little bitter, but flavor overall was good. I ordered two açai bowls and their açai was super good. A basic acai toppings blueberries, strawberries, bananas, and honey and granola. Their granola is different. I think it has cereal flakes inside because it's super crunchy and I thought I saw it. But the fruit on top was fresh and the açai blend was super good. I like acai that arent too sweet and there's was the perfect blend. The cashier was super friendly and did let me know that they do a kamaaina discount on drinks. read more

Absolutely delicious!! Great coffee shop right on the beach that is walkable. Inside is welcoming and love the warm wood tones and cool blue. Sets you in the mood for the beach and beautiful Oahu! Got a large Kai coffee and açaí bowl. Along with 3 shots of expresso. The coffee is absolutely divine! Nothing like it. So smooth and delicious. The açaí bowl was a good portion size. The fruit on top was fresh and the granola had a good crunch. The açaí itself was cold and refreshing. Solid coffee shop that is in the heart of Waikiki. read more

We parked in the Waikiki mall Parking garage and wanted to try the vintage coffee shop but it had a long wait. We opted for the Kai Coffee kiosk. The young man working was very friendly and efficient. I ordered a latte with almond milk and a small coffee with cream. The latte was actually really tasty. I noticed the lattes on the island tend to be watered down but not here! They had a few tables in from if the kiosk for guests to sit and some in front on the Main Street. I would definitely recommend. They did charge $1 extra for the almond milk but that was clearly advertised. read more

Great breakfast options. The BLT was lacking & the bacon was very flaccid. The meat wrap was delicious but only contained one potato.

Great coffee slowest coffee shop on the entire island. Literally 30 minutes minimum for a latte good luck if you are getting food

Decided to try out this coffee spot instead of Starbucks.. and wished I would've just gone to Starbucks. Got there about 630 and waited about 20 minutes. For what they're serving, I think they are overpriced.. IMO. It was my turn to order and I asked the gal at the register what they had brewed for decaf, she looked puzzled at me. So I asked again, what do you guys have for decaf coffee? She said we don't. I said do you have decaf espresso? She said yes, I said ok, I will take a medium americano. The barista outing the shots had to come over and help her, asked how many shots I wanted and I said two. And normally I would order with oat milk, but Kai coffee charges $1 extra! No thanks.. Espresso was meh. I recommend going somewhere else. read more

We stopped in on a mission to get acai bowls for lunch. The kids ended up trying breakfast wraps, and breakfast sandwiches with meat. They were very happy. Generous portions. Parents shared an acai bowl, and a Kona Latte, macadamia and cream flavors. Excellent balance of flavors in the latte, just the right amount of sweetness and macadamia while letting the coffee flavors above. This location is super clean. Tables inside are limited and there is seating outside. We shared a farm table with other customers. read more
