We had just got off the plane and typed in coffee shops in Google and boy did this place wow us. My partner ordered a cold brew which I usually don’t drink but this one was delicious! A naturally sweet, not too acidic cold brew. So good. Max was the barista and he was great - so friendly and easy to talk to. Would definitely come back!

I highly recommend this cafe! The service was outstanding, featuring a unique menu that surpassed expectations. The lattes were exceptionally tasty, and the homemade granola and açaí bowl were truly delightful. It's no surprise they earned the title of the best cafe in 2023 – an experience worth savoring!

Wow! What a hidden little gem! My usual coffee joint was closed, so I searched on Yelp for coffee and PeleKai came up. I walked up to the window and the friendly woman said that the dining area was open too, so I went in. Lots to choose from...coffee and teas...I was hoping they had a signature drink, but I opted for an iced latte with macadamia nut milk. Inside is a peaceful haven with comfy chairs. I wish I had more time, cause I would've sat down and just meditated. There is also some seats outside too. The coffee was great! I think they have their own blend and I should've grabbed some. It was the first time having a latte with mac milk and it gave it a nice creamy texture. If you're looking for somewhere different to go to, definitely seek this place out. I parked in Whole Foods and walked over. Mahalo PeleKai!

Amazing cortados and açaí bowls here!! The Mac nut butter goes crazy. Honestly I love the cute aesthetic of the cafe inside (and the outdoor seating as well) so much that I'd come back every day if I could.

Perfect little coffee shop! I love the homemade nut milks and daily pastries they have. I'd definitely recommend the Pelekai Açaí bowl as well as the savory galletes for food, and the Malia chai or iced latte for a drink. Great study spot as well:)

The owner? (Emily) makes these galettes fresh daily. There was cheddar and egg and also spinach, feta, and tomato. It's basically those items on a puffy pastry. Unfortunately they can't heat it up for you but would have been better if it as heated a bit in my opinion. It was still good though and I would go back just to get the galettes! Not sure if it's bc it wasn't warm so the pastry wasn't as flaky in the middle. The edges were though. I also ordered the pelekai vog specialty drink which was puerh black tea with lavender and rose latte. Very light and you can definitely taste the lavender and rose! But if you wanted something stronger maybe try for a coffee, this wasn't that strong. They also have events there every Friday so check out their calendar! The small touch that I love was also they have a card holder box where you can keep your stamp card there and use it every time you go! We all know how many of those we actually have with us when we go to some cafes! Go check them out! And it's right below studio space where you can rent dance rooms for private sessions. There are small and big ones!

If you're a dog owner you will feel welcome here. The staff are so nice. This place is so calm and relaxing, which is great for when you need a quiet coffee break. I'm a pretty boring person and usually default to a plain whole milk latte, so this place checks all the boxes for me.

What an awesome experience! The teas, coffee, baked goods and bowls. Do yourself a favor and let these flavors blow your taste buds away!! Thank you for your creativity and your expresión of love that shines through w every bite and sip
Delicious açaí bowl. Emily made mine half dragonfruit half açaí. Hits the spot. I would eat one every day if I could live here

A unique little coffee and tea bar for those who take time to enjoy a good cup. Pastries are handmade and the scones are to die for. Everything is fresh and carefully crafted. Very warm and open ambiance.

I've been wanting to try this place since I'm frequently in the area. This coffee shop is located in the Still & Moving Center across from the Whole Foods parking structure. We got the iced mocha and iced green matcha with coconut milk. The two drinks were just alright. The mocha tasted ok but it felt like it wasn't mixed that well. The iced green matcha didn't really taste like anything, just a hint of coconut from the coconut milk. The drinks only come in one size too which looked like a 12 oz cup. Our total was $15 for the two drinks. I don't think it was worth it since the drinks were small and lacked flavor. The coffee shop is cute though and looks like it's a nice and quiet place to chill.

Love this cute coffee spot blocks from Ala Moana Beach near the high rise condos. There's seating inside and outside. Friendly and nice customer service. I love the colorful latte and acai bowl selection. I tried the ube taro latte and you can actually taste real yummy pieces of ube/taro on the bottom! It's on the sweeter side so I recommend adding a bit of cold brew to it to give it some more caffeine kick too! Good regular coffee lattes as well. Support small local business :)
