Such a cute coffee place with tons of options and seating as well. This place is really popular and can get super busy. I got the Açai bowl, Cortado and the house special crepe. Absolutely loved the Açai bowl, it was nutritious and it did please my taste buds with its fruity richness. It was a delightful and healthy treat. Even the coffee had great flavour and infront of the coffee shop was the Waikiki beach where you can sit enjoy your meal with a view of the sea. The only thing we didn't enjoy much was the crepe, it was very average. Overall, solid coffee spot for coffee and it's on the pricier side but worth the money. read more

The line builds up quick in the morning so get here early. With a name like Kai Coffee, do not get the breakfast sandwich. I would recommend anywhere else for an early bite. Otherwise their coffee is good stuff. They have friendly staff that not only chat it up but also make wonderful recommendations too. While the line was getting long the cashier held her composure and spoke to us with patience and down to earth vibe. I will definitely keep this place on the radar. A wonderful time for sure! read more

My favorite words to start the day: iced Kai coffee (macadamia nut) when in Waikiki. This place was not only near our Airbnb but also near the lagoon where my daughter really enjoyed playing in. It was such a convenient place to grab coffee and a breakfast sandwich and take to the lagoon for some fun in the sun. I appreciate that their coffee drinks aren't overly sweet but still very pleasant. Also, the line isn't too long which was ideal considering how popular this place is. For anyone visiting Waikiki, I highly recommend checking out Kai Coffee for your coffee and quick breakfast needs. read more

This spot was down the street from our hotel so on my morning walk I decided to try it out. I love a local coffee spot and this place was very appealing, ambience and all. I got my daughter the banana bread which she loved and the second time I came back I ordered a savory crepe for breakfast. Baristas are all abuzz and friendly, the type of people you'd want at your coffee shop. Drinking your coffee and looking at the water out front is a beautiful way to spend your morning. I'd come back! read more

There was a long line even before 7am, but it was totally worth it. The line actually moves pretty fast too. I got an iced americano. I've been trying coffee everywhere in Waikiki, and was not impressed so far. However, Kai Coffee particularly stood out. They roast their own beans and serve pretty good quality coffee! read more

Kai Coffee - Iced Americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I believe this location is in a mall looking area that's part of the Hyatt (or another chain hotel). The cafe is small, and the line can get long. But it has open walls so there is fresh air and it feels less crowded a little. Some small tables outside in the courtyard. The staff was friendly enough. I like the macadamia nut latte which I think they just call a Kai latte here. If you're not in a rush, it's yummy coffee. read more

Kai Coffee - Mac nut latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Upon arriving, we were in need of coffee stat! This location was very convenient and was not busy. We decided to have their Kai Latte. Service was friendly and they were quick to get our drink out to us. The Kai latte itself was refreshing and had a good balance of coffee, milk, and macadamia nut flavor. We actually came back here a couple of times during our trip and were always delighted with our drinks. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area and in need of a caffeine fix! read more

Glad they opened a new location overlooking the water. Always good coffee but be ready to wait in the morning. read more

This is a great coffee spot! My wife and I enjoyed their iced Mac-nut flavored coffee with cream while my wife had their Mac-nut frappe. Both were excellent tasting but I preferred the Frappe more. This is a really good coffee shop stand with lots of merch, ingredients to buy, etc. They do serve Kona coffee but in an espresso form as well as plain black drip. Kai Coffee is an excellent coffee shop to try and one of the best to me, in all of Hawaii. I will for sure come back again for another cup! read more

I purchased an Kai Latte and a blueberry scone. I arrived at 7:30am on a weekday and there were no one line line. They have tables and chairs strictly for Kai Coffee customers. The Kai Latte was surpsingly good. I'm a big fan of macademia nut, so this was quite a sweet treat. The blueberry scones weren't like scones, they sere more like a bread/pastry since it was way softer than a standard scone. It tasted a bit plain.. read more

My search for the perfect coffee shop in Waikiki is over. Kai Coffee is hands down the best shop in downtown. Tucked away inside the Hyatt Regency on the first floor of this open air mall, hides Kai Coffee! Not only is the coffee delicious, but also the prices aren't through the roof like others nearby. My current favorite is is the Mac Nut latte. Highly recommend anyone who visits Waikīkī to give Kai Coffee a try! read more

Coffee is great not the cheapest but if you like Starbucks you will like this. They move you along even if it looks like a long line it moves fast. They won't have a conversation with you just take the order and move on. Seating is limited like Starbucks. read more

The coffee is delicious and the device was friendly. But the pastries were not. Coffee yes but skip the sugar bomb coffee cake and poppy seed bread. Scone was ok but still way too sweet. read more

The line is shorter than Kona Coffee Purveyors, but the coffee tastes just as great. The line moves slowly, but they make each beverage pretty quickly. Pastries and food also come out at different times. Kai Coffee is more known for their macadamia nut latte. I'm not sure if they use Kona coffee for it, but it's still a good morning stop for caffeine. The Kai Latte had a perfect amount of sweetness that doesn't mute the taste of the coffee nor undermines the flavor of the macadamia nut. Definitely a place to try out if you prefer flavoring to your coffee. read more

Sky Cafe Hawaii is such a hidden gem inside the Hyatt hotel in Waikiki! This spot has such a relaxing, tropical vibe -- it's like stepping into a mini oasis. The café is uniquely set near an artificial waterfall, which creates a really soothing, natural atmosphere. The sound of the waterfall is strong but peaceful -- you're literally sitting under a waterfall, sipping your coffee, and it feels like you're truly on an island getaway. They have plenty of seating, and it's a great place to chill, grab breakfast, or have a light lunch. The menu is solid -- smoothie bowls, fun breakfast wraps, sandwiches, coffee -- there's something for everyone. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Waikiki. Whether you're staying at the Hyatt or just walking by, this is a great local spot to enjoy the island mood. read more

The menu is limited but if you need coffee while staying at Hyatt Regency Waikiki, this is your place. I like that they serve locally sourced coffee. Service is great but expect to wait bc each cup is hand pressed and served. There are a few seats inside and more outside, if you'd like to sit & sip your coffee. I'd watch to be sure you receive what's ordered and paid for. My extra shot had to be called to their attention bc in his haste (and distraction) it was not added. Coffee was delicious each time I ordered. Which was daily! lol read more

The Kai latte is so tasty I wish I could get this back home. I love the macadamia nut flavor, it's sweet with being artificial and the nuttiness really compliments the espresso in the latte. I love that there are lots of nondairy milk options too. Great spot for a quick caffeine fix in Waikiki. A little small though so don't plan to stay. There's one table inside and a smattering outside around the shopping area but I think it's best to take your coffee to go. read more

Kai Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Found this cute little gem my last day in HI. Have no idea how I missed it because it's one of the main streets of Oahu. It's such a beautiful place and made my heart so happy. They have coffee, açaí and pastries. It overlooks the ocean so you can enjoy a nice cup of coffee and watch the surfers. If you have a group of people it's a nice area where some can go to the beach and enjoy while other sit at the coffee shop watching the view. A good location for all! Highly recommend this spot if you'd like a good view of the ocean. It's all outdoor seating and it blocks out the sun if you need a break or the rain. (: Also, dairy free options! read more

Kai Coffee is so good! I always make a stop when I'm on the island. But I just found out this recent trip that there are 2 Kai Coffee locations next to one another. This location was new to me and didn't realize it until I had to walk inside the Hyatt plaza. Coffee still tasted delicious however I don't think this location's workflow is refined as the original location at Alohilani Resort. Took quite awhile to wait in line, order, and then receive our drink. read more

Kai Coffee - Store front in Hyatt Regency plaza - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It is my favorite coffee shop by far. I love Kai coffee, strong but not bitter coffee, has a very clean- taste, not overwhelmed by sugar, a hint of macadamia whipped cream. We also like their croissant, blue-berry scones, and sandwiches. Everything is very fresh and reasonable price. Since Burger King and Subway has closed their stores in Waikiki beach and many places are closed between 2 to 5 pm, Kai coffee is available with good sandwiches. Everything is more spendy nowadays. A year ago, Kai grande coffee is about $5, now about $7. The sandwich is about $12. read more

Not the best coffee shop around. The chai tea latte was decent but not the best. I also got a lemon poppy seed loaf that was pretty dry. The açaí bowl was okay read more

Yummmmm! Want to avoid a longer line at a nearby place. This line isn't tooo tooo bad. Cute coffee place just right off the beach. Staff friendly. Good vibes. Macademia nut coffee is smooth and delicious. It's almost comparable to that other place nearby with the massive line ;-). The line moved pretty decent here. They have breakfast and Acai bowls here too. Will definitely come back! read more

Conveniently located walking distance from many hotels including the Hyatt place. Two locations across from each other. One is on the strip and has seating on the sidewalk. The other has seating with an ocean view. We went to the location on the strip. Friendly and fast service. For the coffee they have many options for milk alternatives including Mac nut milk, soy, and oat milk. Coffee was good. The açaí bowl was just okay. Nothing special in my opinion so would not get it again. read more

Kai Coffee - Açaí bowl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

On our trip to Hawaii, my friends and I were on a coffee spree. We wanted to try all the different types of coffee here, and this place was the best we've had out of our entire trip. It's a tiny store located inside the Hyatt. There is a line and only one person making the drinks, but it's worth the wait. I got their signature Kai Latte, which is a macadamia nut latte. The coffee was strong, but not too overpowering. The slight nutty aftertaste was really good as well. Their coffee was so good that I bought their beans to hopefully recreate this back home! read more

Kai has multiple locations in the Waikiki area, kind of like a Hawaiian Starbucks. The coffee is good, but the food looked pretty lackluster. Service was pretty slow, wouldn't make your way to come to this particular Kai unless you want the tables under the waterfall where you can barely hear the sound of your own thoughts lol. My ears still ringing? read more

Starting off with the wonderful service of the barista who took our order. He was very sweet and helpful in terms of helping me decide what drink to get. Ended up with the kai latte because I love some macadamia nut flavored drink and my friend got the matcha latte. I did have a sip of her matcha latte and it was nice and creamy and not overly sweet. But I'm so glad I got a bigger cup of the Kai Latte because it was so good. Def. A good pick me up for the afternoon. I was even recommended to try this place out by another friend who also got the kai latte. read more

Located in the shopping (ground) level of the Hyatt Regency. This spot is open early and serves up a nice warm or cold meal quickly. The staff are efficient and kind. There are around 10 3-4 person tables outside and one 8 top directly inside the shop's glass walls. I enjoyed an iced Kai latte with macadamia milk. My husband thought it was a bit sweet but it was just right for a "treat" coffee. 75¢ up charge for iced coffee and $1.00 up charge for alternative milk. read more

There's no prices listed on the menus. It makes it difficult to plan what I want to order. I get the vibe that this is Honolulu's brand of Starbucks. There's only one big table inside. It's tiny inside, so you wouldn't want to sit inside with the never ending line of people. But it's in the mall, so there's limited seating by the waterfall. I ordered cold brew with oat milk. It's tasty, and enjoyable. But the lack of prices anywhere is a huge turnoff for me to want to come back. read more

Excellent cup of decaf Kai latte!! Smooth, well balanced, perfect level of creaminess, minimal acidity. I got it with 80% sweetness, so the macadamia nut flavor was subtle. Only complaint is that it didn't come with more!! 10/10 would come again read more

The guy behind the counter is so rude and dismissive. I asked about the açaí bowl that was advertised in a picture. He said the menu was behind the sign. I go look. It is just coffee beans. I go back to him and he said the price isn't listed. I asked him if he even heard my question since I am confused on why he told me to look behind the sign. I asked if that was the only açaí bowl they had and he said yes. So I asked if I could have one. He then tells me they only have it from 6am to 6pm. This place is going to go out of business with that kind of service. I would have gone back for the item since I am staying at the hotel it is located in, but not anymore. read more
