Walked by this unassuming coffee shop while wandering around Honolulu. Decided it was time for a coffee, so we stopped in. If you want to avoid the carbon copy sanitary feel of the big coffee houses, then this place is for you. Very charming, with tons of character. Employees greeted many of the customers- very upbeat and pleasant staff! Plenty of selections for coffee, cold brews and "coff-tails", and espresso choices. We had the Nuts and Berries cold coffee, which was delicious, and a parfait made with chia pudding- also extremely delicious. Food choices include breakfast sandwiches, bagels, toasts, and there was also a house salad available.

Ali'i Coffee Co. brings a refreshing flair to coffee Cutely designed seating area and ordering counter conveniently located along Auahi Street I am so impressed by their cold brew options (Coff Tails and Signature Lattes) and coffee menu . I tried their "Nuts 'N Berries" 🍒🍓 ☕ Cold brew concoction today and impressed by the subtely of the flavors. I'd like to try the "Princess" (Vegan Option) next~! Must try the Blueberry Lilikoi Pastry. The one pictured here is an Apple Turnover, which was flakey and tasty too.

I am so glad I found this cafe, they have the best nitro coffee I’ve found in Oahu! And I’ve tried a lot of cafes. They have one that’s called the king and it is just that the king of coffee! Staff is excellent, super friendly and service is great.

Don’t understand so high rate. I was expecting too much? Two girls didn’t know what’s menu and didn’t know how to draw late art as well as before. What the heck is this… Also no welcoming atmosphere at all.

Still dreaming about this place one year later🤩 This place had the most amazing, and unique flavors! We loved our coffees and their food selection was great too! Such a cute, local coffee shop!

Great little “hole in the wall” ☕️ shop. We had a nice stop…quick service and great coffee. Our kids got a hot chocolate…strange for the typical Hawaii weather but it was a drizzly day and they aren’t coffee drinkers 😂. I had a great nitro cold brew and my wife enjoyed a fantastic iced chai tea latte. It was a nice change from the large chain coffee shops.

Went in on the Ube/Taro Latte, unfortunately high expectations that were not met. Drink looks like I’m going to jump into a pool of purple dream, but the tastebuds didn’t get the full immersion we imagined. Also $8+ for a latte was steep. If you like Lattes it was delightful, more coffee flavor and more of an appearance of ube/taro then taste. It’s like if you were to eat a peacock expecting it too taste like peacock when it tastes like chicken… Also the place was a bit small only about 4 tables and they were all full so had to go to a different coffee shop to get some work done. @hungryhungryhumans_

# g r a t e f u l An awesome spot with a great taste for coffee. They have a must-try Taro Ube latte! I just get the boring house coffee, but it’s nothing that won’t improve upon my first Monday of 2022! Lol

Wonderful little coffee shop. High energy baristas. Great vibe. Signature drinks. Cold brew on tap. Breakfast and lunch sandwiches. I highly recommend.

Second time and still as good! Love their consistency. Coffee was perfect, not too sweet. Super fresh, good quality ingredients.

Really great shop! I was between all the great options and they were helpful guiding me to my final order. I got “the queen” latte with oat milk and the avocado toast. Both were sublime, 10/10 would recommend. They have about 5 2-top tables inside, good music, and dog friendly. Park in the public parking lots and walk over (no street parking next to the cafe). They also sell coffee beans that they will grind for you. Great place.

Friendly service and good coffee, but on the expensive side, $16 total for two small drinks. Iced vanilla latte was made well, points for not being overly sweet! The espresso was smooth, but I prefer a bolder punch to it. Overall, nice little cafe in town.

the coffee shop was delicious. i got a taro ube latte & my husband got a banana milk cold brew

I love their Taro Purple Latte! They always make the Latte art and the batista was so friendly! I also love the Kale Beets salad! Other food is awesome too!!!

I LOVED the avacado toast so much I replicated it at home for my breakfasts. To go sandwiches were great to take with us on beach day. Staff super nice. Sometimes lines are a bit long, so give yourself time.

Good coffee, friendly staff, and 100% Kona available. It's not cheap but let's face it, you don't go to a place like this to save money. You go for the welcoming atmosphere, which they have in in spades. Something I'll have to go back for is the food. I can say it looks delicious, and I don't know where else in town you'll find ube mochi waffles. They have limited hours, closing at 2 pm, but if you can make it they're definitely worth checking out.

Delicious ~ their chia seed pudding used coconut milk, unexpectedly delicious ~ both my friend and I ordered ube latte but hers came out more purple, taste more ube too, mine tasted like Americano with a faint hint of ube, not so sure why, unfortunately, I didn't take the pics, because it wasn't that a big deal I just got curious that's why

Got drawn into this place based on the smell they had coming from their breakfast items. Could smell it from the intersection. Beautiful little nook for anyone looking for a break away from the crazy filled eateries. Nice coffee and fresh food. Dining inside is limited to about 2-3 top tables, only because of the spacing not due to their restrictions. It's a small hole in the wall type brunch/ coffee place that has really good pastries. Very friendly staff.

Got the ube taro latte. It looked crazy. This purple bomb. But when I tasted it, all the flavors come through- espresso taro and ube. The sugar was subtle. Loved it.

We loved our food and coffee. For the small surprise we were very surprised when the food came out. It was very healthy and refreshing too! Friendly service

If you love incredible food and coffee then this place is a MUST! Ingredients are so fresh, and coffee is high quality blend. They have the most interesting lattes mixes. My fave was the Prince! Caramel with black Hawaiian seal salt 🤤 I got them half sweet as I don’t like a lot of sugar. Breakfast sandwich is life changing. Simple, straightforward, and so yummy! Girls working here are super sweet and efficient! They awoke hard and quickly to get you on your way.

1/5. I didn't order bc it was cash only and after spending $1 to get parking and walk up from makai of Hawaii Theater. I am not fond of unnecessarily walking around Chinatown and paying for exorbitant metered parking. So coming back with no plan was a no. 5/5 This used to be my very favorite coffee place on Oahu. I'm a fan of The Princess, almond Rocca, and Kula cold brew especially. Oh and banana float. * I get that there was stuff going on, a Hawaiian Tel outage or something. The employees were NOT thoughtful, helpful, or kind. Nor did they give me any options. Where there might be an ATM, online ordering, try coming back later... * It was also weird that I was looking at the menu for a few minutes and was completely ignored by the 2 staff people and then a guy came in and ordered and only after he was done did they ask. The person who was servicing their system also ordered before me... 1/5. It was weird, I had a strange vibe and not open and airy and light, how I remembered it. Used to stop by with my friend, James when he lived in the neighborhood, years ago and loved the growlers. This experience was so disappointing and I was really looking forward to a nice treat to make my day off feel extra special and luxurious.

Very small but warm atmosphere coffee shop. Their signature coffee is acidic flavor and great with cream. They close early afternoon, so go get a cup of coffee in the morning.

Wow, their food and drinks are the best. Totally worth the price. Best breakfast we had in Hawaii so far. Try the avocado toast and the Lox Bagel. Yum.

Super short wait times, the baristas were friendly… it’s such a nice coffee shop! The croissant sandwiches with bruschetta were really good (5/5 amazing). I’d definitely come back! I got a couple drinks for myself and one for my wife, so I tried: Taro Ube Latte Iced (4/5 Mildly sweet, but good) Maple Latte Iced (4/5 Sweeter, I love maple) The Prince Iced (5/5 Black Sea Salt Caramel latte, it was really good!)

Barista today is efficient AF! Every drink lovingly made with care and precision. The lattes are not scalding! They are at the perfect drinking temperature to enjoy immediately.
