Great spot! Lovely macarons and caprese toast. Also the gluten free almond cake is super moist and great! Get the Hawaiian mocha to complement!

I love walking to this cafe every morning and spending time on the balcony with a drink, looking over the ocean and feeling the ocean breeze. They have a nice drink menu, and I definitely recommend the Ube Latte. Other drinks are delicious as well, but I'm still working my way through the menu! The few snacks and pastries they have are delicious as well, but mostly I come for the drinks. The ambiance is very nice and relaxing and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I will be here all week!

Without a doubt, my favorite place I’ve been so far in Hawaii. I love a good coffee and breakfast sandwich and that’s exactly what I received here! Staff were very friendly and when someone took my drink and food, they remade them for me quickly. I got the ube latte and it was phenomenal (if you like ube this item is a must!) It had great presentation and taste with the perfect amount of sweetness. It truly was a perfectly balanced latte. I got the egg and cheese biscuit as well and added bacon. It was delicious and the biscuit was so fresh and flaky. The atmosphere is also great. It’s very open and airy so even if you sit inside, it doesn’t feel claustrophobic. It was also dog friendly and even had bowls of water set out for them.

Beautiful cafe with a gorgeous view. One of the few spots we found on Oahu that had quality coffee which didn't taste super dark/bitter. Food options were great as well. The breakfast plate was a great way to try out a few different things. Had the cold ube latte and hot latte and both were delicious. The biscuits are flaky and buttery and even better when they get warmed up. Worth the drive out from where we were staying in Waikiki. Ended up buying some beans to take on the plane home.

Looking for very good coffee, guess what??? You've found the right spot. We were strolling around driving down the beautiful coast and needing some coffee. The coffee here did not disappoint. We had a vanilla late, of course it was cold. And they slid down the gullet quite nicely. Highly recommend!!!

The food tasted great. The beverages were right on as well. Ambient is very inviting and patio looks out to the ocean. Highly recommend. Variety is not as much, but whatever they serve is very delicious and relatively healthy.

We enjoyed a cup of freshly brewed Kona Coffee (100% Kona) and some delicious pastry. A great location with stunning ocean views. Free parking is available just in front of the building.

Genuinely one of our favourite places on O’ahu now. Absolutely fantastic coffee (a top 5 espresso for me...!) and food all delicious and what a view to match. We hope to be back someday soon.
