Big Wave Dave Surf & Coffee

How can I say anything bad with my name on it? Dave's is a cozy coffee bar with bowls and other food items. They have an enormous amount of merch for sale as well as an attached surf shop. Anyway, the latte was really good. Smooth flavored coffee. The avocado toast on multigrain bread was delicious. They didn't skimp on the avocado but it may have too many chopped onions in there. The popular acai bowl was also very good. Fresh tasting açaí and toppings with excellent honey on top. I'll definitely go back here.

KODI our surf instructor and CORAL who facilitated in coordinating our check in process were phenomenal! I was initially nervous as I have NO EXPERIENCE, and Kodi was very patient and encouraging when I was out in the water. He took time to make sure that we understood the safety of being out in the water. We were able to both run through the steps of standing up on the board as well as how to turn and navigate the board in the water, which was very helpful. We did not feel rushed, and we both got very much individualized attention the entire time. I was even able to stand up with the guidance of Kodi. I highly recommend coming here as the instructors are very experienced. Kodi has over 25 years of experience surfing (plus he is a local )and you can tell with the level of patience and his ability to ensure our safety in the water. While my friend and I were at different levels he was able to coordinate to ensure that we both had an awesome time in the water and no one felt left out. I will definitely be back. Everyone was very kind. This is a genuine review and I was not in incentivized to write this...I just felt like a great experience deserves recognition.-lockers for safety-very reasonable rash guard rental- welcoming waiting area-amazing staff

Dave's is the perfect place to start your day!The cold brew, lattes, crepes, avocado toast and acai bowls were all delicious and generous portions. Friendly and welcoming staff.We also rented our snorkel gear from them. You can sign up for surfing lessons here too!

A wonderful little coffee and surf shop in a great location. Great selection of pastries and coffee drinks, super nice people. Great way to wake up in Waikiki.

Amazing time surfing with big dave's surfing. Our elementary school daughters got comfortable in no time. Not regular surfers or swimmers. If you're considering it, do it as your family will make forever memories. Bravo big wave Dave!

Took two private lessons with Noe, really enjoyed it! Didn't get burned on my upper body thanks to sunscreen and a rash guard but forgot to sunscreen the back of my legs -- your default position is the paddle so don't forget it!

The cafe at Halepuna got weird hours so stopped by Big Wave to get some coffee.Ordered the honey latte and a standard iced latte. The espresso drinks were just okay that day. Unfortunately I think it was a bit over extracted. I do love how the drinks sizes here are a bit bigger.Service here is a bit slow when I went. Only 2 people behind the counter and sometimes you'd have to wait for someone to take your order. The staff actually just had me go through the POS system to place my own order, which was a first. There are food options as well and a lot of people were ordering for breakfast so that can hold up the line as well.

Giving this review 5 stars for the surfing experience. Josh was an amazing instructor. So encouraging and super helpful. We had a blast!! We got tshirts too which were very cute. The coffee shop took FOREVER to make our drinks and the line wasn't long (Tuesday 1030am). My drink was made incorrectly so I had to have it fixed. My friends drink was made with milk and she has a dairy allergy (she ordered hers with soy). The drinks took so long that we didn't have time for hers to be remade.Açaí bowl was good

We didn't go the the coffee bar-we went on the outrigger canoe and it was a blast!! We can't wait to do it again!!

Big Wave's is one of the only cafe's open as early as a nearby chain. I was excited to try somewhere different and Big Wave's is fantastic. It has numerous options on their menu. I loved their breakfast sandwich, it was only a lighter panini bread and was filling. Their açaí bowl had great flavor and fillings in it. The service was good, the food came out in 5-10 minutes. I was super glad I went to Big Dave's and recommended to those that I was with to go. They were thankful for the recommendation once they went too!
