I reviewed a week or two ago at the start of the Vaca. We're At the end so I'll blast out another. Warhol meets pollock meets coffee meets Waikiki. Owner Jonathan, who I had pleasure to meet is passionate about Art, coffee, and Hawaii and it shows in all his spaces. The gallery is no different. In this eclectic art coffee space he combines island vibes, upbeat morning grooves and Hawaiian caffeine. Love the spot and the coffee. The service is great ! The ladies behind the counter do a great job with the coffee the crowd and all with aloha. Over the last two weeks I've been here a dozen times and every coffee is great and every coffee is accompanied by aloha, great service and all in a cool setting. The art. All for sale, and all eclectic and interesting. It might not be your style but it does bring a nice vibrancy to this space. It is unique and fun. This is a gem in Waikiki. Right at the base of the beach comber. Thanks Gallery! You made my Vaca better! Aloha!! read more

I was hungry midday and passed by this place. It immediately caught my attention: smoothies, açaí bowls, beer, cocktails and art! I went in and the place was empty. I ordered an original açaí bowl, paid, was given a number and told to wait. I kept waiting, and waiting, over 20 minutes, meanwhile there were 4 people behind the counter, and no other customers! A few customers did come in while I was waiting and ordered the $3 beers because it was happy hour. (Great deal, but they were really small beers.). When my açaí bowl finally came out, it was quite yummy! It was full of açaí, bananas, berries, and granola. I thoroughly enjoyed it; but not sure why I had to wait so long! The place is really cute with all kinds of funky art and gift items all around. It is definitely a unique place.....but they could improve their customer a bit. read more

Art, coffee, and a short walk to the beach...what more could you ask for!?!? Located in the lower level of a hotel, this was the perfect spot for us to grab coffee on a sunny Waikiki morning! Street and garage parking are available nearby. Service was friendly during our stay! Definitely browse the many art forms around the shop while you wait for your coffee. Plenty of local artists and styles represented! Lots of seating available for those of you looking to take a break from the nearby shopping. We had warm and iced lattes that were both delish! Would recommend for your morning pick-me-up! read more

Bruh this place has superb vibes, DON'T miss if you love live music, low lighting cafes, great food during Happy Hour and good cocktails. Live music starts from 8pm onwards and it's a blast! We got in during the happy hour and ordered a Beer, Mai Tai and got Margherita pizza. Pizza tasted good though it was a Naan base! We even got Popcorn on the house as the night progressed with great music. Must visit place on the Waikiki Boulevard. read more

Eclectic, nostalgic, vintage vibe featuring cool artwork. Craved for a light, power breakfast of acai bowl. Biggest challenge was finding a place within walking distance in Waikīkī that makes acai bowls without banana and chocolate. Excellent customer service from gentleman that answered my questions, took my order including female server who brought breakfast to the table. Immensely grateful to the staff for offering and making 12 oz Tropics Bowl. Aesthetically appealing creation garnished with paper umbrella. Top quality and fresh ingredients of acai, granola, diced kiwi, diced pineapples, diced papayas, sliced strawberries, shaved coconut, sliced almonds, bee pollen, plus honey. Loved everything about combination of sweet, tart, acidic, nutty flavors, crunchiness from granola, and various textures. There's also a mini trash can on counter to return used stainless steel spoon. 15% kamaʻāina discount available. Option to dine in or to go. Would definitely return and upgrade to a 16 oz Tropics Bowl. read more

This space has been numerous businesses over the last few years, but the newest is certainly the most fun. With outdoor sidewalk seating, indoor tables, and high-tops, there are lots of comfortable places to take a break while walking around Waikiki. Part art gallery and store, part bar and restaurant, and also a music venue, there's a lot going on here. The art here is mostly pop art; lots of colors and popular culture with a Waikiki or Hawaii twist. It's fun to look at; prices are what you would expect. We mostly stopped in as it was a busy spot. They have a happy hour from 12-7 daily, $3 beers (as of this writing it was Kona Big Wave). They also have a big food menu, which are printed right on the tables. Simply line up on the right to order, food orders are given a number, drinks are poured/made right away. The staff here was friendly and extremely fast, taking care of customers. It's clean and colorful and is family friendly. If you're in Waikiki and looking for something different, it's worth stopping in! read more

I love it here! I've been here in the mornings for coffee, and I knew I had to come back in the evening one night for a drink. Every time I've come in, the employees are so sweet and friendly. The interior of The Gallery is modern and beautiful artwork for sale is displayed everywhere! I wish I could afford some of the art work but I enjoy looking nonetheless. The coffee in the morning when I went was really good and service is quick. I went here for my birthday after craving an espresso martini, so I went to the bar and a nice young gentleman helped me. He sang me happy birthday and made me a beautiful espresso martini and brought it out to me! He was very sweet and the drink was amazing, might be one of the best espresso martinis I've had. The vibes are chill and I could easily hang out here at any point in the day. You must come here! read more

Discovered this awesome place while walking around in the morning. Thought I'd try it out and I wasn't disappointed. Welcomed with Aloha love from Tammy. I chose the BACON BAGEL An everything bagel with sweet and spicy mustard , crispy bacon, egg patty and american cheese It was accompanied with a fresh side salad and a cut of pineapple. For my beverage I chose the AROMA AMORE A hot Raspberry White Chocolate Mocha with soy milk I was not disappointed with my meal and beverage choice! The food was delicious and filling. The bacon was perfect and crispy. My coffee was flavorful and I enjoyed it! This place is welcoming, clean and I look forward to coming back here again when I'm in town. Btw they also have cute items for purchase. I picked up some stickers for my hydro flask. read more

Every time my boyfriend and I walked up and down Kalākaua Avenue, we always passed by The Gallery and noted some cool event going on, whether it was live music, some art workshops, and anything in between. We finally decided to swing by for breakfast here since Island Vintage was a long wait and we wanted to make the most of our morning (plus, we wanted to check out this place that kept entrancing us when we walked by). The venue is spacious, with art everywhere and a hip vibe to go with it. Since it's Waikiki, the food is definitely a little pricey considering that it's a tourist area, but that's completely fine. We ordered the following: - Bacon bagel with salad - Ham & cheese croissant with chips - Hot caramel macchiato - Iced dolce and banana The food was great and the drinks woke us up and were not overwhelmingly sweet. Staff were chill and the space itself was full of energy just by decor alone. I loved the art and how this spot offers a blend of options from coffee and alcohol to art workshops and live entertainment! read more

This place is definitely a vibe. The happy hour sign (12-7 daily) caught my eye. I love all the art work scattered throughout and the soothing music floating through the air.

The Gallery Waikiki - @THE_GALLERY_WAIKIKI - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Does it spark joy!?...absolutely!! I already love Hawaiian Aroma Caffe upstairs and when I saw this new space developing I was certainly excited! After having some lunch in Waikiki I knew it was the perfect opportunity to unwind here at The Gallery Waikiki. Located on the ground floor in Waikiki Beachcomber by Outrigger 7am-10pm daily at first glance you already know this place is just different...in a good way!? Fantastic way! As many local business struggled the past two years, collaborations has greatly increased and this place certainly is no different. The incredible collections of art is fun yet beautiful, large to small prints of the beautiful local scenery to local cultural decor. I found myself loving a composition book with graffiti art on the cover as I need a book to scribble on I thought it was perfect. What more do you need than a beverage to enjoy the vibrant decor and vibe here and you can find it all here from coffee, smoothies, tropical cocktails, bubbly all day to art on your cocktails and even your coffee. From what I understand you can have a custom latte art made by appointment only with @barbarista_art you need to DM her on her instagram or email barby@hawaiianaromacaffe.com and what a cool idea to celebrate, surprise or just enjoy the beautiful art itself. Lots of seating weather it's cafe tables, comfy sofa or just chillin' at the bar, like art everyone is uniquely it's own and you can certainly find your place here. Thank you!! read more

Love the vibe of this place. Nice hawaiian tunes playing in the background, urban art on the walls, a full bar, and a large selection of coffee! The cashier was super nice and welcoming. She helped us buy pieces of art prints. I had the Dolce and Banana (banana chocolate mocha) iced coffee drink. It was a good drink, but I barely tasted the banana. Still good though and it got me pretty wired. Would come back again! read more

This place always seemed quite popular whenever we walked or drove by, so on one of our last days of the trip, we walked in. It appears to be half art gallery and half coffee shop/bar. The music was so loud in here, I couldn't really hear much. It turned off after the song was over though, not sure if that was because they noticed mine and another baby inside. We stood there for a few minutes without anyone greeting us or saying they'll be with us in a minute. Or maybe they did and we just didn't hear it over the music? We finally ordered and got an acai smoothie. There were several people working at the drink bar but it took a little bit to get our one drink. We had already finished looking around at all the art and went to go sit down. Kinda got the vibe that this place was "too cool" and not the welcoming islandy vibe at all. The drink itself was very refreshing. Not too tart and it was right in between the consistency of a juice and a smoothie. It came in a Hawaiian Aroma Caffe cup so I'm not sure if they partnered with them or if the cafe is just located in this gallery shop. Either way it was a great refresher walking down Waikiki but I wouldn't make it a destination. read more

Came here on my last night in Waikiki and I can honestly say this experience was a great send off. Every drink was made with such care, the staff from the servers to security would check in to make sure everyone is safe and having a great time. The live band is something else! They added their our twist to classics. I sat there and listened to them play with the biggest smile on my face. Thank you for a great time. read more

Located in the middle of downtown Waikiki, this location is easy to get to and located by the beachcomber resort. We arrived mid afternoon on a sunday to not very busy location and proceeded to order a ham and egg croissant sandwich and a pineapple mango smoothie with a PB Acai bowl. The ham and egg croissant sandwich was okay. The egg is a general patty and slipped off of the croissant very easily causing it to be fairly messy to eat. The PB acai was delicious! But even ordering a small was too much for me and I ended up throwing away at least a quarter of it. The pineapple and mango smoothie was good but much more ice then I am normally used to having. My only complaint with this location was the music was incredibly loud and made it uncomfortable to sit inside to eat. Given the fact that it was only myself and my husband and three other people in the location at the time, the music did not feel it needed to be that loud read more

Art on the walls and art on my latte! We came here after making a latte art appointment with Barby (@barbarista) - revisit we've met her upstairs at the Hawaiian Aroma Cafe, but this day, she was working out of The Gallery downstairs at the Waikiki Beachcomber. It's a bright sunny space in the afternoon, and not at all crowded on Super Bowl Sunday. There are local artists featured with prints, sculptures, and other objects d'art available for purchase. An area for DJs to spin, even though there wasn't one playing when we were there. We met Barby and told her what we'd like her to paint and paid her for our latte experience then went over to the register to buy some snacks to accompany them. Grabbed table numbers and had a seat near the windows. Everything matches the Aroma Cafe upstairs, so they clearly share the kitchen. Everything I've had has been good - açai, cookies, waffles. Barby brought out our beautiful custom lattes one by one to our great delight! She's so friendly and warm. And she does amazing work. You can get your art on any drink that has foamed milk, really - any of their flavors, any of their milks (although some of the alternative milks are tough to paint, she will advise) even chai. My problem is picking exactly what to have her do, but she's knocked it out of the park every time. Parking was full, but we parked in another nearby garage for a flat weekend rate. The Royal Hawaiian Center parking is nearby, too. read more

Came across this place during our morning walk in Waikiki. The ambience is nice, modern and eclectic. The DJ showed up at 9 am and the noise level with the music went up quite a bit. The service was a little slow, as you order from the counter and they bring you your order. But we expected that as it's in Waikiki and it was busy. The food was good, the chai was nice and sweet and the açaí bowl was delicious, hearty, and the fruit was perfect ripeness. There is a full bar for those that want to order a drink. Definitely a cool spot for morning coffee or evening drink! read more

Was so hopeful about this place because it's located in the heart of Waikiki, have live music, open late, and serves both coffee/tea and alcohol.. so plenty of options for drinkers and non-drinkers! Unfortunately, my Americano tasted sooo bad that I had my friend try it and she made me throw it out. Even creamer and sugar couldn't save it. She said it tasted like bad water so we were scared to continue drinking it. It was the worst cup of coffee I've ever had in my life. That's saying a lot. Great ambiance and vibe, but hope your food/drink experience is better than mine. read more

I was definitely feeling the vibes here! Came on a night where there was live music. I totally forgot the name of the band but they were doing reggae song covers and we were all feeling ourselves. Not only was there good music, but the art was pretty bad ass. Cannot complain about the drinks, just everything about this bar made our night. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Definitely a go to if you're visiting Wakiki. read more

Came upon this place after dinner one evening. Actually the live band was what drew our attention to this unassuming gallery/bar on Kalakaua Ave. Great little place, chill atmosphere and quite popular, with an outdoor sitting area. Proactive staff - the guy at the door kindly doubled up as a host to clear a table for us and get us seated. We did not try the food and left after one drink because the band wasn't so great. Worth a visit but check their online events/live band calendar first. read more

The Gallery Waikiki - Live band (didn't catch their name) playing for happy hour. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is not a place made for visitors. Nothing is customizeable. You can't add anything to sandwiches bc they are premade. So when you try to order something like avocado toast that they say isn't premade, then you can't add something to that because you have to go upstairs. No option for small iced coffees only medium. Breakfast sandwiches come with chips to salad (who wants chips or salad for breakfast) but not fruit salad. It's just a lot and nothing at the same time. It's my fist local spot and 10 out of 10 wouldn't recommend. Even as the cashier sees my frustration in trying to order something not basic she offered zero suggestions or recommendations other than go upstairs. read more

I was drawn to this place because of their live music during the evening and I came back this morning to hear a dj while they were serving breakfast and coffee.
