The Curb Kaimuki

This is one of our favorite cafes on the island. There is a small parking lot around back which might be full but street parking should be okay too. There's usually been a line out the back door when coming here even on weekdays. Egggggcellent espresso and tea! They also have specialty and seasonal drinks like pandan matcha and spiced lattes. Got the twilight zone with oatmilk and an iced pandan latte. Both were 🫶🌺🫰. Their cookies and food are really unique and yummy too with fresh ingredients. They got rid of their strawberry matcha cookie from a few years back though which is quite sad. Good co-working and hangout space but there is no wifi.

Really good coffee from various small-business, speciality coffee roasters. Even the decaf (americano) is fragrant and tastes good. Almost got a second cup… Some tea & matcha drinks complement the thoughtful coffee drink selection. Never got food here, but I’ve seen people eating things that come from the tiny kitchen. Bring a jacket, as it’s always frigid cold in here ! On weekend evenings, the wine bar is outstanding. Small growers who care about what goes into their wines. Delicious. I love it.

Found this spot online through an Eater article. Fantastic location. Easy to find and parking was close enough. I found their cafe inviting and easy to find what I needed. I ordered an espresso which was an “Onyx” coffee blend for espresso. The guy taking the order was nice but seemed very blah. Like not super inviting. Idk. It was 7:15 am. Otherwise the place was great. If you’re a mainlander used to the Portland, SF, type coffees this is your spot. They even carry bags from all over. Very very good roaster options for brewing you stuff at home. I also ordered their Brioche toast. I haven’t the slightest what was on it but I was in love. Damn it was good.

Long line but worth it. I arrived at 715 and the line was out the door (a good indication that it’s worth it). The queue is short inside (the counter is close to the door, so it looks longer than it is). They sell wine, chocolate, and coffee beans but I was too overwhelmed not to hold up the line or lose my place to check those out on the wall. The service was amazing. I panicked and told the cashier what I normally get other places and she recommended a pandan latte with Mac nut milk iced. I also grabbed a banana bread too. Both were so good, I was so grateful when I tried them both. Great order and definitely will go back. FYI there is also no WiFi (if you were looking to work in there coffee shop style).

My favorite coffee shop in Honolulu! Kinda don’t want to share this, but hey the line is always there anyway! Ive come with friends and solo and found it to be the best spot to recharge oneself! That’s if you can avoid the young dudes making Latté art (2-stars on their skills), but all the women are boss here!

Frequently visit this coffee shop. Honestly one of the best coffee shops I've ever been to. A very fresh take on a modern coffee shop. Good vibe, not overly homely to the extent of any messiness or anything. Just very clean and sleek but still a very casual and comfortable vibe. I love following their social media to see what new yummy recipes they're experimenting with (when it comes to food + drink). (Love when they bring stroopwaffle latte! Also- I'm surprised they got rid of the slushy coffee drinks! I so looked forward to seeing what flavors they were doing with those and I was under the impression they were a big hit.) The staff is always wonderful, friendly, and funny- you can tell they enjoy their jobs and working together, which is one of my favorite aspects of this restaurant. Often good seating, always find parking.
