Abri L.

Came to knots to get some work done and take a few meetings. The cafe is extremely clean and the service has been great so far. They have a good amount of food options to choose from and even happy hours.

Coffee place in the queen Kapiolani hotel. Tried both a regular coffee and a regular latte. Service was good, clean and fresh. Great little spots to sit and get out of the rain or sun. I felt it was somewhat bitter.

Erika C.

They have happy hour for certain drinks from 2-4 pm! My strawberry matcha was only $6.50 compared to $8. It was refreshing and the perfect amount of sweetness. They have plenty of seating too! They are a little harder to find since they are in a hotel but it makes it less crowded.

Naomi D.

First off, customer service is friendly. Secondly, the shop is clean and spacious. There's patio seating available. They have vibrant wall arts. We ordered two acaii bowls, two matcha drinks, and a chicken wrap. Total before tax was around $46.00. I like my strawberry matcha the most, then the chicken wrap, and then acaii. I'd recommend this place if you want to relax or get some work done. Bonus: they also have stamp cards!

I've been in town for nine days, and I've had my breakfast at Knight's Coffee Roasters every single morning. The coffee here is genuinely the best I've had. My daily routine has been a cappuccino, and it's perfect every time--rich, smooth, and exactly what I need to start my day. For food, I've had either a croissant or a toasted bagel with butter and honey. The croissant is delicious and at six dollars, it feels like a fair price. However, I'm a bit confused by the bagel price. It's nine dollars, which seems very expensive, especially compared to the croissant. I even brought it up, but it appears to be the correct price on the menu. That one small detail aside, I absolutely love the atmosphere. The ambience is wonderful, and it's so quiet and peaceful around 6 a.m. It's the perfect spot for a calm, relaxing start to the day.

I have been here almost every day in Hawaii. I don't like cold brew but I LOVE the peppermint cold brew here. It might actually be an obsession. The staff have all been nice and they're super quick! There's grab and go items here too like other drinks and local snacks. A nice surprise when I saw they have beer, wine and cocktails. I was surprised when I saw that and they're not at a bad price for being a coffee shop in a nice hotel. Make sure you look for their seasonal menu when you get here for some extra coffee and cocktail options. There is a great food selection too.

i have very mixed feelings about this place. I'm a very strong coffee lover, reasons of the flavor, caffeine, and ambiance. Only found this place cause my wife saw it on Ig somewhere and looked really nice. Interior is actually very nice with much seatings (including the lobby), which brings me to my first concern. when they push out food and drinks, they place it on a rubber mat and yell out the item name, so my concern is what if there was 10 same items that was ordered back to back? I'll just run up and grab first one. WEAK SYSTEM. Second, When I was placing order, order came out to about $40 for 2 coffees and 2 food items. then it prompts for a 18%, 20%, and 22% tip suggestion. What service am I getting that suggests me to tip this much? Is it a sit down order? Is my table wiped and have been set up? Is food brought out to my table? nothing prompts me to tip at a cafe besides staff being friendly which they were not. I left $3 cash tip and the cashier gazed at me like I did something wrong. Staff here does not smile, does not care who grabs what, does not thank for tipping optionally, and especially does not have a cafe vibe. I'm giving this review a 2 star because food quality, drinks, and interior design is good. Service here is not it, especially when they are the first interaction people meet when they wake up. Do not have high expectations here

Great Mango Peach Ice tea comes unsweetened with a bold black tea. Lovely sitting/lobby area and the wait is minimal early in the day.

Knots Coffee Roasters is conveniently located inside the lobby of the Queen Kapiʻolani Hotel Waikīkī. I found myself starting my mornings everyday at Knots Coffee since I was staying at the hotel. Nice open layout and plenty of seating to relax and enjoy your coffee and some breakfast. I didn't try the food but I believe most of the hot food comes from Deck, the hotel restaurant. I received fast service and they even offered me a punch card for a free drink.

Janrose S.

Located in Queen Kapiʻolani Hotel, I got a brown sugar shaken espresso. They have cute merch for sale and staff is friendly.

Shelly H.

Great breakfast/coffee spot that's open early for anyone staying at the hotel or passing by. They have a variety of drinks and food made to order, fresh pastries, and premade options from the fridge.

Austin B.

Great atmosphere and better açai bowls! One of the only coffee shops in town where the bathroom isn't in another building.

Zainab F.

A bit of a hidden coffee shop within the front steps of the Queen Kapiolani Hotel. I was staying at a nearby location and decided to check this place out for a proper caffeine fix and I ended up coming here twice! Their Longboard Latte (coconut macadamia nut latte) with oat milk was so delicious and creamy! They had a large menu with food options too. The service was amazing, my first day here they whipped out my drink by the time I finished ordering and paying! The workers are so friendly. And if the beautiful patio doesn't convince you enough to check this place out I don't know what will! There was plenty of comfy seating and you can enjoy the fresh air even if it's raining.

What a hidden gem! Their huapia French toast is hands down the best I've ever had! So crunchy on the outside and crispy on the inside and the huapia sauce perfectly complements it! The open air seating is also a vibe. Loved spending a couple hours here to get some work done. read more

Quick and friendly service. Walked in at 8:30am on a Thursday. They were, unfortunately, out of pastries--I guess they had a busy morning (the cashier said they don't usually run out until 10am)--so I will have to try their macadamia croissant another day. I was pleasantly surprised to see a fun (blue in color) herbal tea drink, the butterfly pea latte. Looking forward to coming back to try other menu items--I haven't seen coffee jelly on a menu since I lived in Japan! read more

Matcha: 6, too much milk WCM: 8, good balance of coffee and milk Açaí: 10, delish! good flavor and the coconut & granola were yummy!

The Mac Nut croissant was amazing! It's one of the best breakfast pastries I've had ever. The croissant was warm and had chunks mac nuts on top. Every bite extremely flavorful. The coffee was meh. I've had better along the strip. Nothing so far has topped the big K ;) I loved the early morning vibes. Quiet - tucked away inside the Queen K hotel.

To my surprise, the head of the shrimp was on the shrimp thrown right onto my salad greens. I tried to separate them as I do not like the head and had I known, I would have never ordered it. I've been coming to Island Vintage for many many years almost weekly. I get the Mona kea next door and açaí typically. It's been a year since I got the shrimp salad. This WAS NOT the salad I have ordered for the past 11yrs. I was there with friends and something poked a part of the back of my throat area that I could not remove in public so I ended up taking it to go so I could see what was hurting my throat.. After spending 10 min just peeling the shrimp and removing the head with the parts all in my salad, I put the shrimp to the side and took a couple bites of the salad. A piece of the antenna or something poked into the back of my throat and was stuck, I couldn't finish my food till I got to my room after taking out what was stuck! We told the waiter and he said it's not the first time people have complained about it since they began putting the head attached and that the restaurant hasn't listened. So I suggested telling management myself to help the cause. The manager came over and was very nice! He thanked me for letting him know and that he didn't know it was ever served without the head. He said he's was new there..That was interesting to me since if you look at all the photos and reviews here, it's clearly without the head! He offered to take it away but I wasn't trying to get a refund. I wanted to eat it when I got to my room after removing what poked my throat and was stuck because I couldn't swallow and was afraid to. Plus I hadn't eaten any of the shrimp. My hands were filthy trying to get the head off. I got the bill and went along my way. I got to my room and once I cleared my throat I went through the salad and took a bite of the shrimp which I threw all 4 away after taking one bite. For one it was mushy which scared me and 2, it WAS NOT the shrimp that usually comes with this salad. They took the garlic butter shrimp they offer on their menu and threw it on my salad instead of the usual shrimp which had a different flavor that I loved for many years. My salad was supposed to have 4 large shrimps, if you look at my photo with just the shrimp left, and no head, those are medium and had garlic and butter all over them. Like saucy! Whatever it was it was not fresh! And it was NOT the shrimp they have always served this salad with. The shrimp this salad is served with usually is almost like a grilled butterfly large shrimp with this delicious flavor that almost tastes like it had saffron in it. Not a saucy garlic butter which is usually served as their garlic shrimp. And why would you put all the heads on and throw it on a bed of greens that could puncture someone's throat? Had I known in the restaurant that they threw on garlic shrimp on my salad, I would have returned it! In all my years coming to Island Vintage I've never experienced the shrimp salad like this. Waiter was fantastic and sweet! Manager should have taken initiative and shown more concern that my throat was punctured and I couldn't finish my food there..but again he was very nice..I should have agreed to a refund! Sorry ..my review is all over the place..and poorly written..I'm just super upset and just don't feel this matter was taken seriously.. I could have choked and my throat was punctured with part of the head or something in it.

Review 33 (2026) We…read morelove El Cielo. This was the third time to come and eat. The first time we came, we didn't know what to order for Spain Foods. I have no idea of any menu. We ordered Seafood Paella, Mushrooms appetizer. The second time we added different menu. Seafood Paella, added Shrimp Ajillo with fresh homemade bread, Arugula beets salad. The third time ( this time ) we added another different menu. The more we come, the more we can try new menu and enjoy new tastes. Honestly El Cielo, all menu we tried even wine and draft beers, were top class, I love to nominate as the best restaurant in Hawaii. I am so glad I found the great restaurant, I was seeking for. Prices were not bad, as inflation everything costs are so expensive nowadays. Everywhere!! Their services are great too. If I live close by I would go El Cielo once or twice a week. Thank you so much. I will love to come back soon again.

First time going to el Cielo, and it did not disappoint!…read more The food was great - most of the menu appears to be tapas style appetizers, so we got a bunch as well as a paella dish. Our favorites were the paella - it was lemony, bright, and had a generous amount of meat. The empanadas were also delicious and came with a homemade chimichurri sauce. We got these butterfish fritters (can't remember their name, oops) that came with a saffron aioli. The chicken liver mousse was tasty as well. While the pan con tomate was good, we got the plain one, and should have gotten it with ham! A lot of the food is served with airy, light, crusty homemade baguettes. The wine list is nice, mostly wines from Spain! I tried the Albarino and it was delicious. It is located on Lewers street, and has some nice iron wrought gates. We opted to sit on their outdoor patio, which had a lovely fountain and vibe going. Parking is kinda tricky - there's a lot in the back of the restaurant but it was full for us, so we street parked.

As the menu offer many options to choose from, we ordered two pizzas, one chicken, one lasagna, five pastas and two appetizers. The food was delicious and flavorful, very fulfilling.

The flavors and textures were exactly as you'd expect if you'd have ordered it somewhere in Italy. When I crave pizza, this is the kind I'm dreaming of. So five stars on the food. So the not so great... I was seated right away (good) but dining solo, they asked me if I minded being seated at the upper bar. I didn't want to hog a whole four-top table being a single diner so I acquiesced with a promise someone would be right there to take my order. That didn't happen. For a long time. Finally the manager noticed, took pity on my starving and thirsty soul and took my order. She made sure everything came out and that I had eats and drinks. If not for her, it'd have been 35 full minutes before "my server" ever showed up. UNSAT. 1 star to said server (Adam?). 4 stars for manager finally noticing and taking pity. Located in a busy corner of Kuhio Ave and Ka'iulani Ave in the heart of Waikiki, the place is easy to find and has a nice open space to enjoy your meal. Pro tip: If you're dining alone, you may want to request a regular table rather than the upper bar area, as service there appeared inconsistent during my visit.

Quite a bit of parties around us were partaking in this. Though a friend of mine didn't want to drink a whole bottle by herself, she tried a glass of Rosé from France which she stated was very delicious. I on the other hand had asked for a non-alcoholic option. Unfortunately, they ran out of ginger beer, all the sparkler options, and didn't serve any soda. The bartender looked pretty irritated by that point, and didn't even provide me with a glass of water. We would've grabbed a bunch of food to compensate for taking up a seat, but by then, the bartender had already dropped the check, and we hadn't even sat there for more than 5 minutes. The most interesting part was that an older couple sat next to us, similar situation. The gentleman asked for a glass of wine, and his wife asked for a non-alcoholic beverage. Though a different bartender came back with a sparkler option for her. Needless to say, I felt pushed aside and I don't believe I'll be back to this location any time soon.

The Gouda added this rich, slightly smoky creaminess that made it feel a little more elevated than your standard burger. Every bite was messy in the best way, and the bun held up like a champ. The fries were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and impossible to stop eating. You know they're good when you keep reaching for "just one more" and suddenly they're gone. We also got the fried calamari and it was perfectly golden and tender, not rubbery at all. Light, crispy coating and super snackable -- especially dipped in the sauce. But the sleeper hit? The smoked ahi with lavosh. So flavorful and fresh, with that smoky richness balanced by the crisp lavosh. It felt light but still packed with taste -- a perfect contrast to the heavier fried stuff. Honestly, everything hit. Great mix of indulgent and fresh, and I'd order this exact combo again without hesitation.

We stopped in during their happy hour from 3-5 PM, and it immediately stood out as an ideal after-work pau hana or easy date-night spot. The space is relaxed and inviting, with a calm, tucked-away feel that makes you forget you're inside a hotel. The happy hour menu is impressively priced, with starters beginning at just $6, yet everything feels thoughtfully prepared and elevated. Highlights included the toasted bread with sun-dried tomato pistou -- warm, crisp toast paired with a deeply savory, herbaceous spread that's simple but incredibly satisfying. The mini poke bowl was fresh and well-balanced, showcasing clean flavors and quality fish without being overly heavy. The fish tacos delivered exactly what you want: crispy island fish, bright flavors, and a great balance of texture. We also tried the fish and chips, featuring lightly fried island fish, hot fries, and a creamy house remoulade that tied the dish together beautifully. The standout for us was the empanadas -- flaky, crisp pastry filled with tender braised beef and potato, finished with a bold aji rojo sauce that added just the right amount of depth and gentle heat. Service was friendly and attentive without feeling rushed, and the overall vibe made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. Whether you're looking for a low-key happy hour, a casual date spot, or a place to unwind after work, this is a hidden gem worth seeking out. Pro tip: Arrive early for happy hour -- once more people discover this spot, it won't stay quiet for long.

We stopped by Knots Coffee Roasters for a quick afternoon snack after strolling over from the Honolulu Zoo across the street while we read some good reviews from others. The café is set inside an open-air hotel lobby, which gives it a hip, laid-back vibe. However, the atmosphere was a bit off--several people were napping at tables, which made the space feel more like a lounge than a welcoming café. The staff was friendly and polite, but not very attentive. We had to flag someone down just to place an order, and during our entire visit, not a single table was cleaned, which didn't leave the best impression. What We Ordered: Butterfly Peaberry Latte w/ Oat Milk - Visually striking, but lacked flavor. We couldn't taste any of the vanilla or lemon notes that were supposed to come through. Nice color, but nothing special beyond that. Iced Mango Peach Tea - Had a pleasant aroma, but the flavor was almost nonexistent. Not sweet as we expected--but we'll take the blame for not asking in advance. Tokyo-Style Pancakes - Took 25 minutes to arrive (we were told 15), as they're prepared in the hotel kitchen. They were decent for the kids, but lacked the fluffiness we hoped for. Not worth the price overall. Final Thoughts: Knots has potential with its unique concept and prime location, but misses the mark on execution. With inattentive service, uncleaned tables, and mediocre menu items, it's not a place we'd rush back to. read more

I was quite disappointed with the overall experience at this Waikiki hotel coffee shop. The quality of service and food did not meet the standard I would expect from a venue in this area. While the coffee was acceptable, the food was unfortunately far below expectations. I ordered the "Tokyo-style" pancake, which turned out to be more reminiscent of a McDonald's pancake than the fluffy, airy Japanese-style pancake it's meant to resemble. As seen in the attached photo, it lacked the characteristic height and texture typically achieved by incorporating whipped egg whites. Additionally, the fruit served with the pancake was underwhelming. Aside from a few blueberries, the rest of the fruit appeared to be canned or not fresh. What's pictured is all that came with the dish, which was very minimal--especially for a $20 menu item. I was also told the wait time would be 15-20 minutes, which I was fine with, but the order took 43 minutes to arrive. During that time, the staff did not display the same level of friendliness and attentiveness I've experienced at other local coffee shops. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I would not recommend this establishment read more

Knots Coffee Roasters has a fantastic vibe that makes it a great place to relax, work, or catch up with friends. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the stylish yet cozy decor--it has a modern, inviting feel with a touch of island charm. The ambiance is perfect for those who appreciate a well-designed space that feels both trendy and comfortable. I ordered a matcha, and while it was decent, it didn't quite stand out compared to others I've had. The flavor was mild, and I would have preferred a bolder, more balanced taste. However, the overall experience at Knots was enjoyable, and I can see myself returning to try different drinks or just soak in the atmosphere. The staff was friendly, and the space felt welcoming, making it a solid spot to unwind. If you're looking for a coffee shop with a great aesthetic and relaxing energy, Knots is definitely worth a visit! read more

Knots Coffee Roasters has a cozy vibe and a convenient location near Waikiki, which definitely makes it worth checking out if you're in the area. The decor is stylish and beachy, and the staff were friendly during my visit. That said, the coffee itself was just okay -- I ordered a latte and found it a bit milder than I prefer, without much depth in flavor. The pastries looked great but the one I tried (croissant) was a little on the dry side. Prices are a bit high, even for Honolulu. Overall, it's a decent spot if you're looking for a quick caffeine fix in a nice setting, but not necessarily a must-visit for serious coffee lovers. read more
