This is the closest cafe to the University of Hawaii for good espresso-based coffee. (Of course, I don’t count Starbucks on campus. I tried their coffee and it was dreadful.) I walked 1.5km from Lincoln Hall to get here and it was definitely worth it.
I asked the barista to make my coffee the way I would make it myself at home: latte in a 5oz cup with a doppio ristretto base. I had to explain what doppio ristretto means, but that might be my Australian accent getting in the way. Then I got a great coffee and went back immediately for seconds.
Super coffee and friendly staff. Free wifi too. Parking can be challenging but found on-street parking ok.
I love this place! It maintains this awesome artsy vibe, without being so far out as to be uncomfortable or distracting. I liked the music and the clocks and all the coffee drinker thoughts. When I go back to Hawaii, I will definitely make a point of visiting again.
The best place for a coffee boost~ #awesomepeople #awesomecoffee #awesomeplace
Awesome coffee and awesome study environment!
Step into this charming coffee haven adorned with vintage cameras and nostalgic decor, evoking the vibrant energy of New York City living. Immerse yourself in the cozy ambiance, where power outlets abound, ensuring a seamless blend of work and leisure. Welcoming baristas are ready to craft your favorite brew and the best art latte on the island. If you plan on settling in for a productive day, don't forget to bring your sweater it gets cold!
Overall good coffee, we didn't stay since it was a quick morning take out for us. My Americano was great, my husband order his usual drip coffee and happy with his. Chatted a little bit about their decor, I was amazed with their collection of old camera.
Awesome coffee place! The best taste, service, and experience in our 15 day trip in Hawaii.

Still an awesome place for latte art!! Love it so much!!

. I love their latte art sooo much. They’re so creative and professional. I miss this place a lot now cuz I’m back in Seattle.
This place is exactly what you'd expect from a locally owned cafe. Quaint, quirky, and with free Wi-Fi and plenty of power outlets. This is a place for exquisite coffee, espresso concoctions, conversation, and a place to chill/study/read/surf the web - not for food, as they have minimal selection (bagels). But seriously, it's the best Latte in Manoa.
I like this place a lot, their coffee is inexpensive (less than $5 for a small latte) and tastes good. Air conditioned and have outlets. Great for studying. Latte art is so cute!! This was for Halloween.
The coffee is top notch!
And the atmosphere is welcoming for students and others to study and work.
Very chill vibe and will definitely be back when I come back to visit Oahu 🤙
Sweetest owner and workers. Great space to work, study, or hangout. Amazing drinks and snacks. Great music playlist. What more could you ask for???
Great place to spend 20-30 min:)
Amazing coffee, a lot vintage cameras.
Beautiful place!
Delicious, strong iced hazelnut latte and chai tea latte. Staff is super friendly! Love all of the old cameras around the shop.
O..M..G...the best coffee I have ever had! I wish I lived closer to the place, I would be a regular for sure!
Such a great coffee shop! Good prices. Friendly baristas. I really like that they have liquid sugar so you can doctor up your drink. Their drink menu isn’t super expansive but it’s simple and good. Coming from a Seattle girl that loves her coffee! I’ve come here every day on my trip and I get the iced americano with white chocolate. My partner has tried different things every day— he’s a little more adventurous. :-)

Loved it. The girl at the counter is both friendly and efficient. She both takes the orders and makes the drinks.
This might just be the best latte I've ever had! So rich, thick, and creamy with just the right amount of foam topping. I had the maple latte
When it comes to coffee I am really picky. This place has the best coffee on the island!
The barista was so sweet, and the latte art is almost too pretty to drink :)
Cute little coffee shop with good Wifi and tons of outlets. We spent a few hours working here and enjoyed the lattes and bagels. Super limited food options but the bagels are fantastic and thr coffee is decent.
Fantastic ambiance where you can get some studying/work done. Chill vibes, super friendly staff, and great coffee. Highly recommended!
Such a peaceful place to relax and drink coffee. A little hard to find but there’s parking in front. Such a great vibe and it’s quiet. Highly recommend.
