Cafe Villamor

We had the açaí bowl and the peanut butter, banana protein shake. A meal in a meal. Good service and nice ppl. Defn for the health concise minds.

I've tried this place twice because I needed caffeine and it was close to somewhere else I was going. Parking is a little difficult. Staff is nice enough. The lounge is small and clean. Both times, I ordered the Iced Sea Salt Mac Nut Mocha. Both times, it was just ok.I did enjoy the fact that they do games and have D&D groups you can join.Other than that, it was a lot ok OKs and not enough Wows to have me come back.Yelp 2024 Challenge: 21/30

This place is manned by the friendliest people! Attached to a climbing gym, this place is located across the street from C&S Automotive and Gatsby. They seem to use - and sell - Honolulu Coffee. The Hawaiian honey latte seems to be very popular; a woman who ordered it I was there could not stop raving about it! I personally usually get a quad shot latte, and frankly I find it quite yummy! My favorite thing from here is actually the turkey sandwich. I will eat that sando for breakfast OR lunch! I have taken it home and added a poached egg - you know, for extra. Yum! They also serve a few different baked items that were solidly done. There is no parking except for the big public parking lot down the street near Long's; I usually walk here from the mechanic's shop (I go to C&S). But all the drinks and nibbles are totally worth it!

Good quality of coffee. Very strong coffee flavor. I order Iced Latte and it tastes really good. Service is fair. The cafe is pretty clean and bright. The only concern is there're not enough parkings. Only street parking available.

I've walked by this place every time I get my nails done at the Beauty Barn but only took note of the climbing wall and workout area next to the cafe. This time I decided to stop in before going to the BB. There was one customer in front of me so I took the opportunity to check the place over. I loved the wall murals and the nice wooden tables and benches as well as the huge selection of beverages on the overhead menu. The person ahead of me ordered a salted caramel something that looked yummy but I just ordered a basic cold brewed coffee with cream. Lex, the proprietor, was such a delightful person so I just know I'll be back just for him and to try some of the enticing beverages on their menu.

This is a delightful review of Cafe Villamor, located right by the HiClimb Rock Climbing and Yoga Center.In this one-man show, Philip is the ultimate multitasker--serving as order-taker, cashier, barista, sandwich artisan, dishwasher extraordinaire, table wiper, and customer service guru, all while managing a bustling crowd of eager patrons. Even when the line snakes back 6-8 customers deep, Philip maintains a charming demeanor, full of conversation and attentiveness. He's the kind of guy who remembers regulars' orders, which is impressive considering he only works weekends!The menu boasts a cornucopia of delectable delights, featuring Cafe Villamor's divine coffee specials like the Sea Salt Mac Nut Mocha and an array of seasonal treats. There are also steaming hot and refreshing iced teas, open-faced bagels, and protein-packed bowls and shakes to refuel the energetic souls who climb rocks and yoga-stretch like pretzels.I indulged in the Open Faced Bagel, dubbed "Avocado Toast" for a mere $12. With a house-made avocado spread (simply, avocado, lemon and salt), cherry tomatoes, and pickled red onions, this masterpiece was a perfect harmony of flavors. The bagel itself, toasted to perfection with a tantalizing chew, was a work of art on my plate, and each bite was a symphony of deliciousness.For my drink, I chose the Wildflower Honey Latte, one of Cafe Villamor's special offerings priced at $6 for a small, $6.50 for a medium, and $7.50 for a large. This creamy concoction of coffee, milk, honey and cinnamon was served in a tall cup adorned with a thick gold reusable straw. It transformed each sip into a delightful dance of flavor that was as refreshing as it was soothing.Step inside, and you'll find an oasis of air-conditioned comfort featuring two long tables with bench-like seating, complete with dual power outlets for all those studious folks who want to mix academia with caffeine. The new outdoor area is perfect for lounging, whether in a group or seeking solitude to ponder life's mysteries.However, there is one tiny hiccup: parking can be a bit of a challenge. I recommend the worry-free option at Whole Foods, just a leisurely 10-minute stroll away.Overall, this enchanting experience is one I would happily repeat--so much so, I can already feel my taste buds tingling for a return visit!

Coffee was just okay in my opinion? I'm a sucker for a delicious sweet coffee and this was just okay. I got the wildflower coffee and honestly it tasted like a pumpkin spice latte in a way? It had some kind of topping on it, maybe cinnamon or something similar. Came with someone who got the americano and said it just tastes fine.

Breakfast in Kaka'ako, Honolulu, Hawaii...I skipped the cookies, brownies, and coffee at church and aimed for a healthy açai bowl and fresh tea at Cafe Villamor because there should be free parking on a Sunday!Located in the industrial area, I looked for a closed business and parked quickly. Hoping to not get towed, I ran over to HIClimb where Cafe Villamor resides. The lone worker was a guy who may have been a bit stressed. He was taking care of the 3 orders ahead of me. He did apologize for the wait, and I appreciate that.When my turn came, I ordered the Midnight Makapu'u Acai Bowl and a Blueberry Lavender Butterfly iced tea. He didn't ask me what size - I was ready for the upsell, but he just gave me the smaller size. It was refreshing, pretty, and unsweetened. When the Açai Bowl came, I showed him the Yelp check-in offer for a free topping, and he said, "Next time". It's my fault. I checked in after I ordered. The Bowl was OK. The fresh blueberries, banana slices, and cacao chips were great texture and flavor contrasts to each other. Note: All 3 bowls have been cleverly names after hikes with inclines: Stairway to Heaven, Makapu'u, and Koko Head!Well, I'm disappointed that the owner, Kyla, wasn't there. I've heard so many good things about her. She's supposed to be a vibrant, woman-owned entrepreneur!I did like the decor of this cozy shop! (Look at the colorful octopus and the painted table tops!) Maybe I'll come back on a holiday because of the limited parking...

Food was perfect after climbing not too heavy. Great location but pricey. $2 bananas.Cute layout and decor. Pastries good little dryAçaí is on point$9 smoothies

I've tried this place a couple times and have mixed feelings. Their coffee tastes a little watered down, and I just came here I ordered a cold brew with oatmilk and you could visibly see clumps in it. When I asked the server about the drink she told me thats how oatmilk should look like... which I've never seen in other drinks before? But kinda threw me off because there was a lot of specs/clumps at the bottom...Otherwise their bagel was good, nicely toasted, and tasted good.
