Welcome to Kai Coffee Hawaii®

[Ambiance] Kai Coffee has good vibes all around. They're located in the center of Waikiki and tailor well to tourists. Not sure if there is any parking nearby but that's Waikiki for you. Lots of seating but this cafe is constantly busy! Thankfully, I went at a time that there wasn't anyone else in line. A rare occasion at Kai Coffee for sure. There was a parade on Kalakaua so that could've contributed it. No restroom in the cafe that I'm aware of. WiFi may be available but I'm not certain. [Drinks] My boyfriend and I loved our drinks. I got an iced oatmilk latte. The espresso is nice and smooth, but strong in coffee flavor. Very balanced. I could taste the care and quality in my drink. [Service] The staff is super nice. They embodied the "aloha spirit" and whipped up the drinks quickly. The barista who took my order had a lot of suggestions and was patience in addressing my indecisiveness. Super chill people!

Kai Coffee is for everybody, offering a delicious array of options with coffee, açaí bowls, and breakfast. I ordered the cold brew, açaí bowl, and kai latte. The cold brew is rich and smooth, perfect for those who enjoy a strong yet refreshing cup of coffee. Their açaí bowl is a delightful mix of fresh fruit and crunchy granola, while the kai latte is a perfect blend of espresso and milk. However, the popularity of the cafe means that lines can get long, especially during busy morning hours. Regardless, Kai Coffee's tasty drinks and snacks are worth the wait. If not, just come back later during the day.

Found this cute little gem my last day in HI. Have no idea how I missed it because it's one of the main streets of Oahu. It's such a beautiful place and made my heart so happy. They have coffee, açaí and pastries. It overlooks the ocean so you can enjoy a nice cup of coffee and watch the surfers. If you have a group of people it's a nice area where some can go to the beach and enjoy while other sit at the coffee shop watching the view. A good location for all! Highly recommend this spot if you'd like a good view of the ocean. It's all outdoor seating and it blocks out the sun if you need a break or the rain. (: Also, dairy free options!

On our trip to Hawaii, my friends and I were on a coffee spree. We wanted to try all the different types of coffee here, and this place was the best we've had out of our entire trip. It's a tiny store located inside the Hyatt. There is a line and only one person making the drinks, but it's worth the wait. I got their signature Kai Latte, which is a macadamia nut latte. The coffee was strong, but not too overpowering. The slight nutty aftertaste was really good as well. Their coffee was so good that I bought their beans to hopefully recreate this back home!

Every trip we are on the hunt for the best Macadamia nut Latte and Kai Coffee was the winner for Waikiki beach!! You could tell they were going to be good when the line was 15-20 people deep 15 mins after opening. With all the standard coffee and espresso offerings they also had plenty of food options to go with the caffeine fix. We stuck strictly to the latte and swapped over to the macadamia nut milk which put the entire cup over the top!! Best part about Kai coffee is the have the macadamia nut syrup for sale so you can mimic at home if you so desire. We didn't do that we can enjoy it that much more on our next visit!

This was my go to coffee shop when I visited. Great lattes and açaí was better than some of the other places. I will definitely be going again. They do get a bit busy, but it's worth it! Service was great and they have multiple locations. I like this location the most though.
