    There was quite a line when I arrived before opening. Sadly on this day their oven was not in service so there were no pastries available. I ended up getting a banana bread $4.75 and it was moist and sweet. Black sesame latte $6.25 - I knew from the color it would be disappointing. Very heavy on the milk and slight nutty flavor from the sesame. Kona cold brew $6.25 - this was decent but not amazing.

    Located inside the outdoor mall, this is such a nice spot to grab a coffee while walking around. The coffee was amazing and really flavorful! They also have tasty pastries and sandwiches. Just a heads-up, the line can get pretty long in the mornings, but it's worth the wait! Perfect place to stop for coffee, breakfast, or a snack while exploring the mall.

    You can seriously kill two birds with one stone here. Bomb Kona coffee, and Chef Belinda Leong's creations at B. Patisserie. So I'm technically reviewing TWO businesses. (Why isn't there a SEPARATE PAGE for B Patisserie!?!?) Anyway, be prepared to wait in line, but it moves pretty quickly. Oahu, you are VERY fortunate to have Chef Belinda Leong's creations available !(SUPER jealous!) Every time we're in San Francisco, B Patisserie is always on our Foodtinerary and these items are always on our hit list, so we repeated it here on Oahu: Classic Kougin Amann Black Sesame Kougin Amann Chocolate Banana Almond Croissant Butter Croissant Chocolate Chip Cookie Passionfruit Bostock Iced Latte Cappuccino and finally, Hazelnut slice... [[HIGHLIGHT]]Prices are reasonable, and the vibe is chaotic, but it's definitely worth a visit[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. GO!!!!

    Black Sesame Latte

    Kona Coffee Purveyors is one of the most popular coffee destinations in Honolulu, and for good reason. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment you walk inside, the warm, fragrant aroma of freshly brewed Kona coffee fills the café, instantly drawing you in[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Expect long lines throughout the day, but here's a helpful tip: if you're purchasing coffee beans, there's a separate checkout line where you can also order your drinks, significantly reducing your wait time. The staff who assisted with my coffee bean purchase were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, taking the time to explain the tasting notes of the various coffees and offering samples to help me choose. Unfortunately, the interaction at the beverage pickup area was far less pleasant. When I asked about the lids for our drinks, the employee responded with an unnecessarily dismissive attitude, which detracted from an otherwise positive visit. **Black Sesame Latte: 5/5** This was an outstanding latte that beautifully balanced the rich flavors of black sesame and Kona espresso. The black sesame contributed a subtle, nutty aroma that complemented the espresso's naturally smooth, complex profile, while the milk enriched the latte with a velvety creaminess without overpowering either element. Kona Coffee Purveyors deserves a spot on every coffee lover's Waikiki itinerary for its premium Kona beans and innovative espresso creations. Despite the minor service hiccup, I'd happily return on my next trip for its exceptional coffee.

    Been back here multiple times since moving to Hawaii. Same great service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice coffee shop ambiance. Good outdoor seating space to people watch, enjoy your Koma coffee and some gourmet pastries.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Those of you unfamiliar with Kouign Amann - Google it! Definitely must try if you have not had it. Along with Kona Coffee, of course. If you're in Waikiki or visiting Oahu, this is one of the coffee shops I highly recommend.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kona Coffee Purveyors is very popular and packed. No matter what time of day I go, early AM, lunch time or the afternoon, it's always busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is a bit of a wait time (25 mins to an hour), a long line that goes all of the out of the day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very limited indoor seating and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a small selection of pastries, desserts and drinks, along with merchandise for sale. The drinks are very better than expected, worth the wait! Drinks are on the pricier end but it is definitely one of the best coffee shops in Honolulu!

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon with my wife around 1:20PM. We walked right in, ordered a drink, and even grabbed a table to relax from all the craziness of Waikiki. I say this because we drove by this place plenty of times in the morning and there was always a ridiculously long line. The barista was super helpful and guided us to where we can order since it was pretty much empty inside with no line. She recommended a latte with honey, vanilla, and oat milk, so we got the iced version to share. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The drink was so smooth and the atmosphere was perfect to just enjoy the AC and people watch out the window.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Kona Coffee Fact: Kona coffee is a premium, high-end Arabica coffee grown exclusively on a small 30-mile-long, 2-mile-wide strip of volcanic slopes in the Kona districts of Hawaii's Big Island. Known for its smooth, light, and mildly acidic flavor profile with notes of chocolate and nuts, it is highly prized and regulated by the state to combat food fraud. True Kona coffee is only grown on the slopes of Hualālai and Mauna Loa volcanoes. We had been told to check out Kona Coffee Purveyors at International Marketplace by a good handful of Honolulu friends and I'm glad I heeded their advice. The best coffee on our trip was had here and I wish I had more time to grab another cuppa! I ordered a black sesame latte for myself, shared an affogato, and tried a Konawaena pour over (Kiwae honey, roasted macadamia, and milk chocolate) pourover. The latte was sip after sip of balanced coffee with a hint of black sesame. The pour over is where you truly get the caffeine. As for the affogato, easily the best affogato had on the trip (and I had plenty~). I highly recommend Kona Coffee Purveyors if you're in the Waikiki area. The ambiance is nice and the staff is friendly!

    Chocolate banana croissant
    Teresa A.

    The wait in line was absolutely worth it. The chocolate banana croissant had that banana bread feel but make it a croissant. It was buttery, flakey, delicious, and had a perfect crisp outside. I do wish there was more chocolate inside and the large baked banana piece inside was not my favorite. It was too big and unexpected to be inside the croissant. I may have also accidentally tested the 5 second rule....I dropped it. Oh no! It was still tasty. I'd rate it 4/5. Love banana bread flavors in pastries. Just no huge banana slice inside please. Super friendly staff and the line moved fast!

    Very long longs. Be prepared to wait in the morning hours. Pastries were good but as black coffee drinkers, the coffee was just lacking for us. I don't know if I'd wait in that long line again just for those pastries. Nitro: 2/5. It was super bitter and not a good nitro at all. Drip coffee: 4/5. Nothing special but not bad. Banana chocolate croissant: 5/5. Very good. Lilikoi pastry: 3/5. Tasted good. But was not wowed. Pistachio pastry: 5/5. Loved the pistachio cream and the pastry was tasty.

    When you come to Honolulu, you will see a long line even before they are open. I came here 15 minutes before they open and had to wait about 35-40 minutes. I ordered cortado with their signature pastries. Cortado came with carbonated water and I have to say it paired pretty good. Ambiance was modern and clean. I love the presentation and taste of their foods are also good.

    Latte, pandan coconut tapioca pudding, and black sesame kouign amann
    Miranda N.

    I had planned to go to Kona Coffee Purveyors for coffee and a sweet treat in the morning before a full day of activities. I was staying in Waikiki and Kona Coffee Purveyors was just a short walk away in the International Marketplace shopping center. As I came up to the shopping center shortly after 7am, I noticed a long line, and thought to myself, this couldn't possibly be for Kona Coffee Purveyors, right?? But unfortunately for me, it was. I didn't see how long the line extended, but I knew I didn't have time to wait, so I ended up getting coffee elsewhere. A few hours later, around 11:30am, I was back in the Waikiki area and happened to be walking past Kona Coffee Purveyors. I saw there were maybe a handful of people in line, so I decided to drop in. I ended up getting a latte, black sesame kouign amann, and pandan coconut tapioca pudding. My favorite was the pandan coconut tapioca pudding which was delightfully light and not too sweet dessert. Black sesame kouign amann: A twist on the classic kouign amann. A beautiful blend of crunchy and soft. The black sesame filling adds a nice flavor. Pandan coconut tapioca pudding: Pandan pudding, coconut tapioca, topped with coconut macaroon. This seems to be a seasonal/limited item. Their desserts are from b patisserie, and they all looked soo enticing and pretty! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a nice place to sit and leisurely enjoy coffee and pastries.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would say this place is not worth it right when they open, only because the line is soo long and it's very hectic with people fighting for seating and getting their orders in. I would recommend going later in the morning or in the afternoon to avoid the morning craze.

    Chocolate Banana Almond Croissant
    Matthew N.

    The lines consistently wrap out the door in the early morning, and you should definitely expect a substantial wait just to place your order. However, the combination of world-class pastries and premium coffee makes the morning queue entirely worth it. Chocolate Banana Almond Croissant (5/5): A standout sweet treat to start the day. The pastry shell is perfectly flaky, buttery, and packed with rich melted chocolate and actual banana chunks in each bite. Black Sesame Kouign Amann (5/5): My absolute favorite of the morning. It features a perfectly caramelized, crispy exterior, while the earthy, nutty black sesame filling adds a massive depth of flavor that makes it really unique. Classic Kouign Amann (4/5): Extremely buttery and flaky, almost like a top-tier croissant with a sweet, caramelized crunch. It is a solid classic on its own, though it is easily overshadowed if you try the black sesame version alongside it. Kona Drip Coffee (4/5): Served extremely hot and fresh. This is a very strong, robust, and slightly acidic 100% Kona brew with a clean finish that acts as the perfect contrast to balance out the rich, sweet pastries. Logistics Tip: The line moves at a steady pace, but if you arrive during the peak morning rush, be prepared to wait anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating is tough to come by, so planning to take your pastry box and coffee to go across the street or down to the beach is usually your best bet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Is there a time of day when the lines subside, and by that time is there still a decent selection of pastries and desserts available?

    I went there twice on a different time. The first one was around 7 in the morning and the second one was around 10 am. The 10 am was a little less crowded and yes they still had the awesome pastries. I hope this one answer your question.

    Where do I pick up my online order?

    There's another cashier for selling beans & grounds and their other merchandise. It can be picked up there. No need to line up specially during peak hours if there a queue.

    I think what they really meant to ask is if you want your Americano with the Premium Kona Beans which is a 100% Kona.… 

    Can we order online and pick up at store?

    don't think you can online but i was able to order pastries over the phone to avoid waiting in line. you can place drink orders when you arrive

    What are your holiday hours?

    Christmas Day is 0700-1600.

    Is their coffee 100% pure Kona or is it a blend?

    We represent single-estates that are pure 100% Kona

    What coffee do they use for their cold brew?

    The Waikiki blend when I was there- I asked because it's sooo good

    What are the decaf coffee options?
