This is the best coffee in Waikiki. Pastries are A+ as well. Been looking for great coffee and I finally found it.

For those of you who don't know. This has to be one of the best coffee shops in Waikiki. Coffee is on a different level, many flavors to choose from. Acai bowl is very different, flavor are very different than I've tried. Very good service, very clean place. read more

We stopped into Shoreline Cafe for a morning coffee. The staff member was very friendly and they had a good variety of items on the menu. They offer coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and mango lassi as well as fresh baked goods and acai bowls. We ended up ordering a flat white ($7), House made chai ($8) and Lilikoi bar ($6). There was a good amount of seating available and we grabbed a spot by the window to enjoy everything. I really enjoyed my flat white and it paired wonderfully with the lilikoi bar. read more

Storefront & ambiance: 5/5 Cortado: 2/5. Too bitter. (On this street corner, I've tried shoreline, castro's, and vavin. Castro's was best in the espresso category.) Tropical acai bowl: 4/5. Acai was smooth and lovely, granola crunchy and subtly cinnamon spiced (without being hard or too sweet). The bowl could've just used more fruit and riper fruit. Staff: 5/5. Friendly, helpful. Would return for acai or to try the blueberry lychee scone, will not get espresso again. read more

Really nice cafe spot, with good quality matcha lattes (3 g used) that are either higher grade culinary or lower grade ceremonial per the taste. They only have non-decaf coffee options, but I would come back to try a flat white earlier in the day. Very nice baristas! Note that there aren't any baked goods (or maybe they sold out?) contrary to a photo of a croissant I saw. Large seating area for Waikiki, and ambiance is good for working. No bathrooms inside. read more

Stopped in for a coffee and light breakfast and it did not disappoint. For food we tried the mango pop tart and the tropical açaí bowl and both were delicious. I especially enjoyed the texture and flavor of the açaí as well as the homemade granola. To drink, my husband tried the latte and it was very good. Small but cute place with friendly service. read more

Located on the corner of Kalakaua and Saratoga Avenue, this café immediately draws you in with its open and inviting entrance. The interior is surprisingly spacious, giving off a relaxed, upscale vibe. It's common to see solo guests unwinding with a cup of coffee at the cozy tables. Back when I lived in Waikiki, I often came here to refresh myself with a coffee break on busy days--the bright and airy atmosphere always lifted my spirits. Their display of pastries and croissants is truly tempting. While I usually stick to coffee and rarely eat out, I recently revisited Waikiki and decided to pick up a few of their popular pastries and croissants as gifts. I was amazed by the variety and ended up choosing mostly based on staff recommendations--which turned out to be absolutely perfect! Each item was crafted with care, beautifully presented, and rich in flavor. I was thoroughly impressed. These pastries and savory breads are refined enough to satisfy even the discerning Japanese palate. If you're in Waikiki, I highly recommend stopping by and treating yourself! カラカウア通りとサラトガ通りの交差点沿いにあるこのカフェは、開放的なエントランスが印象的で、思わず立ち寄りたくなる雰囲気を醸し出しています。 店内は広々としていて贅沢な空間が広がっており、小さめのテーブルではソロでコーヒー片手にゆったり過ごしている人の姿がよく見られます。私もワイキキに住んでいた頃、忙しい日には時々ここでコーヒーを飲んでリフレッシュしていました。 美味しそうなペストリーやクロワッサンがずらりと並んでいるのを横目に私は普段はコーヒーブレークのみ。でも、先日久々にワイキキを訪れたので、此処の美味しそうなペストリーやクロワッサンを思い出していくつか購入しました。 種類がとても豊富で迷いながら選びましたが、スタッフのおすすめを参考にして大正解！どれも丁寧に作られていて、見た目も美しく、味もリッチで大満足でした。 日本人の繊細な味覚にも合う、美味しいペストリーと調理パン。ワイキキに訪れた際は、ぜひ立ち寄ってみてください。 read more

Service was excellent- so nice and prompt. Prices are reasonable and the place is really cute, comfortable and clean. Açaí bowls (tried both) were really good and I don't normally care for syrups but I think they make these here- really good, tried a mix of 2. Vanilla and a purple flower one lol I can't recall the name offhand... will absolutely be back. Kid lived his mayo lassie and he drinks them a lot so he's a harsh mango lassie critic lol. Four of us, all very caffeinated now and full. read more

Mocha ok but most of the baked goods in pics no longer served. Very disappointed. Too bad since ambience was nice.

Stopped by here for breakfast before an early tour group. This was right near our hotel and service room a while since they were just opening, but the açaí bowls were fantastic with homemade granola. read more

I felt compelled to leave a review as this place deserves recognition. We've come here twice in a row now. The staff is super friendly, ambience is relaxed and comfortable. You can tell there are regulars (we're quickly becoming one) as the staff seems to remember most folks who walk in even though this place only opened a month ago or so. They just got their pastries going a couple days ago -- samosas, scones, biscuits, cookies made in house. Delicious!! Get the samosa for sure. They use tradition coffee roasters beans, milk texture is solid, good latte art. Hard pressed to find similar in this area. Don't let the one negative review so far deter you -- check out the reviews on Google too which are much more representative. read more

We'd been warned prior to arriving on Oahu that we would be hard pressed to find good coffee. As coffee snobs, we tempered our expectations and envisioned potentially caffeine-free days until returning home. So imagine our pleasant surprise to find this gem right around the corner from our hotel! We came in almost daily for well made cortados and flat whites. The baristas were pleasant and skilled, and there was plenty of seating inside as well as a couple of two-tops out front. Their panini looked good and were evidently popular, but we always came in between meals so didn't try them ourselves. I'm not sure if they only offer pastries on weekends or if we just came in too late during the week that they were already sold out by then. Again, we didn't try any, but their small selection of croissants and danishes looked decent. I'd gladly keep on coming here for any length of stay on the island! read more

Love their espresso tonics which you can have in either grapefruit or lilikoi flavors. The ambiance here is chill and friendly, perfect place to relax/work. Forget Starbucks and support local small business! read more

The best coffee and best service I've experienced in my 2 years living in Waikiki. I come here almost every week day to work and weekend day to relax.

They've never tried anything there read more

Paying over $5 for a single cup of coffee with no refills is nothing short of highway robbery. In today's economy, where every dollar counts, this kind of pricing feels like a slap in the face. For context, a basic drip coffee at a local café or chain often costs $2-$3 elsewhere, and many places still offer free or low-cost refills, especially for loyal customers. Shelling out $5+ for a small cup--often barely 12 ounces--of mediocre brew that's gone in ten minutes is absurd. Even specialty drinks like lattes or cold brews don't justify the price when you're left high and dry with no refill option. The lack of refills is particularly galling. Coffee shops have long used free or discounted refills as a way to build customer loyalty and keep you lingering, maybe even buying a pastry. Cutting that out while charging premium prices shows a blatant disregard for value. At $5+, you're not just paying for coffee--you're supposedly paying for the "experience." But when the experience is a cramped seat, rushed service, and a cup that's empty before you've settled in, it feels more like a cash grab than a premium offering. Compare this to places like diners or even some smaller chains where $2 gets you a bottomless cup of decent coffee. The $5+ no-refill model banks on brand loyalty or aesthetic vibes--think overpriced chains with Instagram-worthy decor--but delivers little substance. Coffee beans aren't that expensive, and the markup on a single cup is often 300-500%, with no added value from refills. It's a business model that prioritizes profit over customer satisfaction, leaving you feeling nickel-and-dimed. If you're charging me $5+ for a coffee, at least make it exceptional--ethically sourced, expertly brewed, or paired with a refill to justify the cost. Otherwise, it's a ripoff, plain and simple. I'd rather brew my own at home for a fraction of the price or hunt down a local spot that respects my wallet and my love for a second cup. read more

Shoreline Cafe is a charming little spot tucked near the end of the strip in Waikiki, and it's well worth the visit. My wife and I stopped in for a quick coffee break--she ordered an iced Caramel Macchiato and I had a Flat White. Both drinks were excellent and exactly what we needed to recharge during our day. The service was great--we were greeted warmly and received our drinks quickly, which we appreciated. The cafe itself has a cozy, relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for a casual stop whether you're just starting your day or taking a midday break. If you're visiting Waikiki and looking to explore the local cafe scene, I definitely recommend giving Shoreline Cafe a try. It's a nice hidden gem away from the more crowded spots. read more

We stopped in for a cup of tea and were pleasantly surprised with such a warm welcome and feel. The vibe and decor is nice and calming. The inside is spacious with good seating options and even though it's situated on a fairly busy section of Kalakaua when you step inside it definitely doesn't feel like it. We ordered two house made chai's, an iced earl grey and a iced jasmine green tea. In total we spent about $20 and enjoyed the flavors of the teas. It's not often you find a place with house made chai syrup with cardamom and it was quite good. The value was really good especially for Waikiki and even though they don't have pastries yet this is a must stop spot for a nice cup of tea. The barista/hostess that took our order was super sweet, friendly and welcoming. This is a great new spot and we'll be back to try the coffee! read more
