Great coffee! Amazing freshly baked in-house pastries! Had both blends of coffee- FANTASTIC!! Also tried the pineapple coconut almond croissant! It was so delicious!! I am a coffee snob and very picky in general and I love everything about this place! Staff is friendly and efficient! If the line is long, no worries, it goes fast!! Just go here, it’s fantastic!

Best coffee and pastries in Waikiki, I got my coffee and croissants almost everyday while I’m here in Waikiki. I love everything about this coffee shop from front to back, I wish I could bring them to my neighborhood. You will be expecting a long line in the morning since they are open until 10.30 am. After morning time there is no line! Even if a long wait in the morning but trust me “it’s worth the wait” hands down!!

The coffee is high-quality, but maybe more of a novelty / tourist sticking point to try while here. The pastries are the star - delicious and beautifully presented. Merchandise is limited, mostly including coffee preparation tools and a few mugs. Baristas are super helpful and friendly - you can try a splash before buying a bag of beans, FYI. This is the only location on Oahu, so the lines back up. If an early bird, best to get there before they open (6:45 vs 7 open).

This place deserves nothing less than 5 stars. Hands down one of the top bakeries in America.
They serve amazingly unique pastry selection made fresh by hand and with Hawaiin flair.
They also serve 100% Hawaii coffee from the island area Kona.
This place is like Starbucks biggest competitor in my mind. If they expanded they wouldn't be stopped.
I ordered an iced latte with oat milk, a chocolate banana croissant, and the black sesame kouign amann. All were so good and fresh. The croissant had real chocolate and banana in it. I took it on a flight with me and had it in my bike for like 20minutes and the whole plane was smelling like that sweet, delicious croissant.
Note: they also give you their business card in the package which I find amusing but cl classy as well.

This place is awesome. Both drinks and the pastries are top notch. Although the line gets crazy long in the morning, but the wait is worth it.
I forgot what it’s called, but the sesame circular looking pastry was soooo good. The outside is crispy, and middle part has a pleasant sesame flavor that is not too strong or sweet.
