Kai Coffee Hawaii Roastery

I got the Kai coffee bug last week I had Kai coffee in Waikiki my first time . Today I stopped by their Kapahulu location .I ordered their 12 oz coffee grinds so I can make my own ice coffee at home lol .Its their Kai Espresso blend the counter person told me that it's highly concentrated so I don't need to put too much coffee grinds while brewing. This location has a take out window for quick service located at the corner of Kapahulu and Herbert St.Support local

Kai Coffee is a really solid spot to visit for local coffee. Looks like they roast their beans on site.Americano wasn't on the menu but upon request, they're able to whip it up for me. Their bean taste was really smooth and rich. It was an enjoyable cup of joe. Açaí bowl was tasty--base was smooth and the pile of fruit was presented nicely. Bowl was surely inviting to eat. Banana bread on the menu we also tried but I didn't find it all the special. The folks working there were really friendly. And offered quick service. Overall visit I thought Kai was great--give them a try. They do lack parking unfortunately since they're right at a corner. Cheers

I stopped by the Kai Coffee Roastery to get a caffeine fix, and I'm glad that I did - this walk-up window offers espresso, coffee, some eats (scones, banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, etc.), and fresh-roasted whole beans that you can purchase.I had their Kai Latte, which is their signature macadamia nut latte - it was nice and strong, with a bit of creaminess to it. I just wished it was a tad bit sweeter.Service was friendly, and you can see the roasting of the beans inside.Cute place to stop by!+friendly service+walk-up window

I love this place!!! The first time I tried Kai Coffee was at their Hawaii Kai location and I fell in love. This location on Kapahulu is equally amazing. The decor is so welcoming and I love their service and the cute ordering window. My only complaint about this location is the lack of parking. There is only street parking available and there are slim pickings. It's almost always taken.

Got iced coffees here. Wife asked for a napkin for the condensation. Bro said "Just use your sleeve." Not funny.

You know when your latte is a certain color and you just know that it's gna be spectacular? Kai coffee consistently did that every time for us!This coffee shop is our favorite on the island! Sometimes the milk to espresso ratio ends up being too milky when you order a large, but the worker told me they add 3 espresso shots for the large and it is still perfect!! We always ordered the Kai latte, and it is not too sweet. Island vintage is good, but when you want a less sweeter coffee, Kai coffee is the way to go :)*Def go to this location instead (perf to grab n go), as it's less crowded. We stayed at the alohilani and fortunately had a Kai coffee within walking distance, but the line can get way too long in the mornings.

Kai latte is a delectable nutty coffee that's super smooth and addicting.There seems to be a variety of locations in Waikiki that close late, as location closes at 1pm and doesn't seem to let people inside due to the fact that it's a small roastery. You can park along the street and grab your coffee to go.Staff are friendly and drinks come out relatively quick! Seems like there's only one person taking orders and chugging them out, so be patient!They take cash and card.

Just okay. Had the Kai Latte and banana bread. The banana bread was dry and grainy not worth $5 for the slice. Probably won't be back.

It's fancy! It's local and it's privately owned so I always like to support. It's also a specialty shop, yet has a takeout window as well with onolicious coffee. I ordered a large signature latte. The service, is courteous, friendly, and professional. I had one smooth latte it was made with finesse.

Love the coffee and the people.This place is our "treat yo self" spot...and we treat ourselves often. My partner gets a large cold brew with a splash of oat milk and I get the iced Kai Latte with oat milk. Both are smooth, delicious and packs a nice caffeine punch. James and Steven are always friendly and welcoming. James knows our order by heart, which we sincerely appreciate on the days when we're caffeine deprived and can't mutter out our drink order. Always a lovely experience visiting this coffee shop. Thanks for opening one outside of Waiks! We hope they'll open the inside soon - looks like a beautiful working space.Don't forget to ask for a kamaaina discount!
