The bar seats is a great touch because it gives the feel of a bar at a coffee shop. All the workers were very helpful and patient when I was ordering. The croissanwich was REALLY good. The sandwich itself was filled with a thick piece of egg and a lot of meat. The salad and potatoes had little to no flavor which was a little disappointing but I enjoyed the sandwich so much that I didn't really mind.

A Cozy Cafe with Friendly Staff, but the Coconut Latte Missed the Mark…read more I stopped by Bluetree Cafe in Kakaʻako around 3 PM with my cat, and the staff were genuinely friendly. They all came over to say hi to my cat, which was such a sweet and welcoming touch. The cafe itself is very cozy and beautifully decorated, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I actually came specifically for the coconut latte after seeing it in their Yelp photos. Unfortunately, the drink was quite disappointing. There was a fairly long wait - around 8 - 10 minutes for one cup. It seemed like one of the baristas was new and another staff member was teaching her, so I completely understood the delay. But when I finally received the drink, it didn't taste anything like the coconut latte I was expecting and it's the most expensive one though. I've probably had couple of hundreds coconut lattes, so I have a pretty good idea of what I was looking for. I asked the barista if she might have accidentally made a regular latte instead of a coconut latte, and she assured me, "Yes, it's a coconut latte." I took several sips, but honestly, it tasted more like a cold brew to me. Since I had my cat with me and the AC inside was also quite strong, I eventually went outside and just enjoyed hanging out with my cat instead. I really wanted to love this place because the atmosphere and staff were so nice. If the coconut latte had been made correctly - or tasted more like the coconut latte shown in their photos - I would definitely consider coming back. For now, though, I'm not sure I would make a special trip back just for the drink. I hope they improve the consistency because the cafe has a lot of potential.

We loved Island Vintage Coffee. The location is beautiful, especially the patio overlooking the…read moreshopping street. It's such a nice place to sit outside, have coffee, and take a break from walking around Waikiki. We shared the turkey avocado panini with sweet potato fries and it was delicious. I also really liked that they have a full food menu with plenty of good options, so it feels like more than just a coffee stop. The Hawaiian coffee was the standout for me though. It was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. Definitely somewhere I would come back to for breakfast, lunch, or coffee.

This review is only for Coffee…read more I was almost hesitant to make the line just for Coffee, but I'm so glad I did. First of all, they have a really efficient operation, so the wait to order was minimal. Then you go to another section to wait for your order and considering the people waiting, it wasn't bad at all. The only thing is it was a little crowded to check out their merchandise and let me tell you. I eyed alot of cute things! I had the Island Latte hot and my daughter had it cold and both were SO GOOD, with Macadamia Nut and a hint of Coconut. Well worth the wait!

We came pretty early in the morning and found parking in the parking lot with no issue…read more The cafe area is welcoming and aesthetically pleasing. We ordered 3 drinks to go: 1) Strawberry Glow Smoothie- a very well made smoothie and tasted delicious. However for the price point I don't think I'll be buying again. 2) Small Matcha Latte- unfortunately my boyfriend wasn't able to finish his drink. It tasted mostly of milk with a splash of Matcha. 3) Hojicha - I always get this when it's available at any cafe. Their Hojicha was very well made and something I would go back for.

Update....Have you been wanting to try the Erewhon smoothies like the famous Hailey Beiber drink?…read moreWell it's here in Hawaii. It's so good with the chunks of dates .

By the way Lava is open upstairs with contrast therapy cold plunge and sauna and hyperbaric chambers.

A cozy corner in the heart of Kaimuki :)…read more I happened to find this place when I was searching for cafes around the area, and it did not disappoint. Honey Matcha Latte is my current favorite: just the right balance of matcha, milk and honey :) The vibes are so nice. You'll be greeted by the green green plants (which are actually for sale!), and then grab a drink down the hall. I also like how they have a "Sip & Chill Zone" where no ipads or computer work are allowed, so you can just relax and talk story. This is my favorite spot because I can just do some people watching by the window as I sip my matcha latte. It's a nice place to detach from the hustle even just for a while.

The coffee was delicious, but the pastries were the star of the show. The black sesame kouign-amann was incredible and such a unique flavor, and the chocolate croissant was amazing too.

However, the staff moved pretty quickly, and I'm surprisingly good at zoning out, so the wait didn't feel too bad to me. If you know you're buying a bag of beans, you can skip the long line and go straight to the back. You can also order pastries and drinks along with your beans. Before you make your coffee order, you have to go through the pastry section first, where they partner with the iconic SF bakery B. Patisserie! They have a wide selection of pastries that looked super yummy, but also pretty dense. I didn't want to kill my stomach first thing in the morning, so I only got one before I made my way over to order drinks. BLACK SESAME KOUIGN AMANN - 7.50 I loved the crunch from every bite, with the black sesame paste delicately layered throughout. It was a bit too greasy and sweet for my liking, but overall, a solid pastry that is well-loved by many. ICED POUR OVER - 12 + Kona Hualalai (notes: plum, hibiscus, and caramel) Very mellow and smooth. This was the lightest roast they had, which they described as a medium-light. If you're looking for something bright and juicy, I don't think you can find it in Kona beans. It was pricy, but I'm glad I got to try it. If anything, I preferred their pastries over the coffee. Still, if you're a coffee fan and especially if you want to try Kona beans, make sure to get up early and stop by. I also got to sample some of their drip coffee with my friend and try their current selection, which was a fun way to compare the different beans before making a purchase.

Sunday street parking is free so we parked in one of the metered stalls on Sheridan Street. Free parking This place is located on the 3rd floor. We opted to take the stairs to get our steps in but there is also an elevator available. The shop is very tidy and for seating, inside there is a communal table for up to 6 and a table for 2. Outside there are tables on the lanai area. The menu is limited but has both sweet and savory options as well as a good selection of coffees and teas. Today we tried the Guava with cream cheese and Black Sesame with cream cheese. The bread made made both yummy! Both were not too sweet and served in a lovely presentation. Prices were pushing the wallet for the serving size however, I can understand it because of the time and effort that it takes to make the toast presentation make you do a double take. Overall, the service was good and we did not feel rushed at all. We were able to slow down our typical pace and just enjoy each other's company. This definitely a place I would love to share a mommy-daughter breakfast excursion.

Hubs had to fast from 6 am for his 2 pm surgery so I thought he would probably be starving and would enjoy a delectable salt and butter roll from here. At $4.50 a piece I consider this a luxury for us. I found a close stall in the parking structure. A very cheerful polite male employee took my order. I had seen two occupied tables as I walked into the shop. Both had matcha drinks. Why not? I asked the young man assisting me, what's the best matcha drink? He said his favorite was banana matcha with extra banana foam. Okay I'll try it. He repeated it to the cashier. So popular there was a wait for beverages to be prepared. Soon enough mine was ready. I think Doc would enjoy this drink. This shop is a working bakery. Many yummy pastries displayed. Menu is posted high up above to choose from. Rather tiny shop with room for customers to stand in line to order and wait for drinks. Clean, busy with a few tables and chairs outside but pretty much in direct sun.

I love the cozy Japan vibes of this cafe. It's small with limited seating so I recommend doing to-go but it would be nice to have a coffee date here. My bf & I got two drinks to-go -- the matcha latte & yuzu choco oat cold brew. We both really enjoyed our drinks. I also got two bottled drinks -- the ume iced tea & lilikoi lemonade which were also sooo yum. The worker let me sample these two which was nice. I enjoyed the bottled drinks a couple days later, it was a refreshing treat. The staff were friendly & it didn't take long for us to get our drinks. The only challenge may be finding parking as they have only a few stalls in front. We ended up parking a little up the street on the opposite side. It was a short walk to the cafe & well worth it! Will be stopping by again soon for my matcha & tea fix.
