Cutest cafes
Coffee? Matcha? Views? I’m in.
Best place to grab a drink and study. Lots of space and very aesthetic. Lots of food and drink options and very cozy seating options. Turns into a cocktail bar at night:)!
Talk Kaimuki
If you love coffee and plants, this is the place for you. Coziest cafe on the island. Feels like you are in a terrarium. Great drinks and wonderful seating to hang with friends or do work
Plantoem
Cute tucked-away cafe in Niu Valley. Definitely check it out!
Surf Camp Coffee Niu Valley
Another Kaimuki coffee stop. Visit for some gooood drinks
Bean About Town
Best coffee in Manoa, and maybe on island. Drink your coffee in the mountains. How fun!:)
Morning Glass Coffee
Very good quality coffee and matcha. There are places to sit, but it’s on the smaller side. There’s alcoholic drinks as well!
The Curb Kaimuki
Super cute cafe up North. Food and drinks are so affordable. Highly recommend the guava matcha, kalbi burger, and the FRIES<3
Nani's Cafe
Best coffee spot with a view. Amazing assortment of drinks and such a nice area to chill near the water
Island Brew Coffeehouse Hawaii Kai - Hawaiian Honey Latte
Not as easy to get to, but SO worth the trip out. They have amazing drinks, smoothies, and bowls. It is on a beautiful farm that you can explore. The best experience to sip on your drink and sit in nature.
