A nice calm spot to grab EXCELLENT quality coffee, particularly if you are Aussie/Kiwi and are accustomed to a different style of coffee.

Kona is just not good and here they have coffee from regions like Costa Rica, Brazil, etc that are actually good. I got a pour over and it was fantastic. Great service and very comfy seating. One of the few craft coffee shops on the entire island.

We loved this place so much we visited twice during our week long stay in Waikiki. We love trying different coffee shops out when we travel and we usually go to a different one everyday but we liked this one so much we had to go back. On our first visit I had a delicious pour over and my girlfriend had an americano; we also split a piece of the ulu banana bread. The coffee was dark and robust and the banana bread was balanced with the perfect amount of sweetness. On our second visit we both got iced cold brew and split a bagel with cream cheese. The coffee is fantastic, the staff behind the counter are outstanding and they have a wonderful patio to sit and watch the world go by (there's also a bunch of indoor seating). If you're a coffee nerd you'll love this spot.

200% better than Starbucks. Really, there's no comparison. The desserts were phenomenal! The sandwiches and their ingredients were very tasteful and truly fresh and healthy.

This is a good respite from the crowds of Waikiki, tucked away in the DFS Galleria. Got here a couple of times, trying the cold brew, lemongrass tea and the banana bread. All were delicious, and I'd especially recommend the cold brew with one of their homemade syrups in it. Service is friendly and quick. They have really nice seating outside, though you run the risk of inhaling bus fumes when the tourist buses are parked at the curb.

I am obsessed with Bean About Town. I never had macadamia nut milk before, and let me tell you- LIFE CHANGING. It honestly tastes like a creamier version of almond milk. I got an iced latte with mac nut milk and coconut syrup my first day in Honolulu, and I've had it three times since. I'm obsessed. I also got a ham and cheese croissant which was delicious, and came with a pickle as well. The staff was so so sweet and helped me choose what to order. The coffee shop itself is inside the Duty Free Shopping Center and in a perfect location next to a mall in Waikiki. The inside is super cute with flower details and comfy seating. 5 out of 5 stars a million times over!

It’s at the back of the DFS mall. Drinks decent and decently priced.
I had the flat white here and absolutely amazing coffee. The staff were nice and really sweet. The ambiance is amazing as well. Special shout out to Oliver (i think either the owner or manager), who was really kind and helped me with some internet trouble. Thank you for the great service and great coffee :)

My favorite cafe at Waikiki. Baristas are nice and sweet. If you want to get sweets, I recommend macarons! Especially Lilikoi flavor. I really like this, and I think you will like it too. (Of course the coffee is awesome!)

As an Australian living in Hawaii who works in Waikiki, this is my go to place for good coffee (harder to find than you think!). The owner and staff are always super lovely too! I would previously visit their Kaimuki location so very happy they are now in Waikiki! Also recently tried the croque monsieur and can highly recommend 10/10!!

I love a place that gets creative with their drinks! I visited on Valentine's Day and got their "Bonnie" which was a White Chocolate Strawberry Matcha. All the flavors worked really well together which surprised me! I loved their cups and the way they presented their drinks. They were sold out of many of their plain coffee choices, which was understandable for the evening time! Drinks ran you about $8

Drink: 5/5 tastes very good and not over powering. The atmosphere here is so cute and cozy, it's located inside DFS. Friendly staff, I recommend coming here if you are as tired as I am throughout the whole day lol
