A cafe located in the resort I stayed at while visiting O’ahu Hawaii!?Hawaiian Aroma was the perfect place to grab coffee, breakfast, and treats on busy vacation days!Atmosphere: The shop is located near the lobby and provides a convenient one stop shop for guests who want to grab something delicious and quick on the go! I love the space as it has a beach theme with a variety of menu items to choose from as well as a whole wall of merch (hats, mugs, coffee beans, sunscreen, and more!Service: Every time that I went in, the girls that were working there always tried to ensure that the orders came out quickly despite how busy they’d get.Menu items: I got their Original Acai Bowl, Acai Waffle, and Dolce and Banana iced coffee with almond milk! Their acai bowl was my favorite item on their menu—it was so fresh and delicious!They also serve smoothies, sandwiches, and baked goods making the space a great place for breakfast, brunch, and lunch! I also snagged Sun Bun banana chapstick during one of my visits! ☕️ ?

The worst Chai Latte I've ever had. If you like syrup with your milk, this is the place for you. I suggest you wait to get your coffee at your table Cinnamon's next door.

The clerk was very nice, and I went there just before 7 o'clock on the day of my return.

Staying at the Illikai, it was a nice stop before heading out if I didn't have time to go to a coffee shop. The inside of the shop is a bit small, so there isn't really room for seating inside. However, there's plenty of seats and tables outside for you to enjoy your coffee and/or food! They have a pretty standard selection of coffee, and focus more on the food options, such as acai bowls, sandwiches, and their specialty waffles. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to try their food, but it looks delicious! Each time I went, I tried a different coffee and thought that they were alright. The first time I went, my coffee was burnt, and the second time I went, my macademia latte was a bit bland. So, I wouldn't recommend this spot so much for the coffee. However, I would still come back to try their food as their wide variety looked delectable.

Pricey!! Prepare for some sticker shock.The food is tasty--croissant sandwiches and smoothie bowls. One of the spots on the area that opens early.

Yummy Açaí bowl. Good coffee. It was a little tricky to find with 'walking' on maps. Just look for the Illikai building and you'll find it, I made it unnecessarily hard on myself. Good for smaller groups if eating on site, order in line and there's some tables outside to sit at, it's in a shop area of the hotel.The ingredients were fresh! Didn't take too long the girls were pumping out the coffees and food! Kids had smoothies and husband had a nice melty ham and cheese croissant. Only downside, the food came out before the coffee and I politely asked just to make sure that the coffees were still being made and one girl gave me a 'look' and replied that yes they were almost done with it in a slightly snappy attitude.

We got lattes. They were ok. Prices high as you would expect here. Outdoor seating.

How did I not know about this place? Either way glad I found it this week while here. Inside the Ilikai tower on the 2nd floor and only steps away from the beach. Had a simple order iced coffee, sugar free vanilla and 1/2 &1/2. Perfectly made and hit the spot. Inside the coffee house they have lots of selections from hot/cold coffee drinks of all kinds, smoothies, blended drinks, acai bowls, lunch and breakfast choices and other baked goods. Service was really great and my drink came out rather quick. Glad I found this spot and will for sure be back.
