The Curb Kaimuki

Great neighborhood coffee shop (that also sells wine)! Unique coffees and other morning drinks to start your day. The line out the door on Christmas Eve morning was unexpected, but certainly a good sign that this place is not only really good, but also has excellent service. Friendly staff even though it was packed and they easily provide expedited check out if you are buying wine, so you don't have to stand in line.Easy to find with a parking lot in the back and one hour of free parking. I'll definitely be back just to check out their unique selection of wines.

One of the best places to get matcha! This coffee shop is situated on 8th Ave and Waialae, and there's two entrances to the shop (one off the main road, one through the parking lot). There is a private lot where you can get your parking validated, and there is street parking available. The cafe itself has a modern industrial feel, and yet it feels cozy with music playing in the background and plenty of community flyers decorating the board on the wall when you first enter. Plenty of seating is available, but be aware there isn't free wifi here! I visited on a weekday afternoon and had to wait around 10 minutes to order, so expect it to be busy!I got the pandan matcha latte with oat milk, and I appreciated that the cashier taking my order was very friendly! My order came out pretty quickly, around ~5 minutes, despite there being quite a few people in front of me. I honestly loved my drink. It had all the components of what I love about matcha -- creamy/silky with a smooth bitterness, and the sweet pandan flavor was a perfect complement.I've only visited Curb Kaimuki once, but this is now on my list of favorite cafes in the area!

It's no secret about how amazing this place is. The interior is very posh and chill. Nice music playing throughout the cafe, and baristas are quick/helpful. It has become a safe haven for me to come here and decompress. There is no wifi, but somehow this place is always packed. LOL. This is definitely not a place to take coffee to-go, but somewhere you sip your coffee leisurely and just relax. It's honestly one of my too favorite places for coffee or matcha. Hana Quon exclusively sells her pastries here and she's an extremely talented baker. They always sell out so I make it a point to try my luck and see if it's still available. LOL

This place rocks. The pandan matcha and pandan lattes are sooooo good. Flat white was also solid. I came twice in the 5 days I was visiting Oahu.They also have pastries from Hana Quon, who is an absolute genius. Her laminated Wagyu hot dog was the best thing we ate in our 10 day trip. We also really enjoyed her chocolate eclair. I cannot WAIT to come back and I follow Hana Quon on Instagram to live vicariously through her lolol.

Great espresso and drip! Chill vibes, no wifi, nice counter bar for to hang and they also have wine. Chill baristas

The curb is a Saturday morning staple in our household (and an every morning weekday stop for my honey when i forget to replace coffee beans at home).They're busy and draw a local crowd in the kaimuki neighborhood, but are quick and provide a quality drink every time. My favorites are the lavender matcha latte or pandan matcha. They also have rotating seasonal menus and delicious bites. The inside of the shop is trendy but non pretentious.There's a small parking lot at the back of the building but it's quite crowded as it shares space with other establishments.

Cute corner street coffee cafe. You can tell this place stays busy. The pastries look amazing but I didn't try. I was too full. But I will be returning another time for the in house homemade pastries.

Pandan matcha latte FTW! Note that there is parking in the back. We ended up parking street but it was pretty crammed in there. The wait took very long but the drink made up for it. I will be back!

Cute little coffee shop! The baristas were nice, kind, and informative. I enjoyed the mango tart and the coffee that was ordered. Appears that a lot of locals hang out at this place. The line does get long but the coffee is good!Good AC and a nice place to hang out, study, or catch up with a friend. My order came out really fast! Would come here again

Cool little spot. Lattes are always solid. Very bummed they no longer have banana bread.
