A cozy Chinatown spot that punches above its weight in both coffee and food, specifically the Lomi Salmon Bagel and the Ube lattes. It's a high-quality, neighborhood-style cafe where the baristas are genuinely warm and the roasting happens right on site. If you're looking for a quiet place to work for three hours or a spacious lounge, this isn't it—the seating is very limited and the morning rush is real. Go for the high-turnover roasting and the local flavors, but grab your order to-go if you're avoiding a crowd.
the neighborhood-style Chinatown spot — less polished than the hotel or Ward Village branches
Not every branch is the same. Pick the one that fits the day.
the Kauai outpost — more lowkey and chill than the bustling Honolulu branches
the polished Waikiki retreat — quieter than the bustling Chinatown branch
the design-forward Ward Village spot — more polished than Chinatown, less chaotic than Waikiki
Ali¡i Coffee Co. was born in a humble garage in 2014, fueled by a passion for exceptional Hawaiian coffee and quality. We started small, brewing at local events and farmers markets across Oahu, connecting with our island community one cup at a time. In 2018, we opened our first coffee shop in Downtown Honolulu, bringing our signature craft coffee to the heart of Oahu. Since then, Ali¡i Coffee Co. has expanded to three Oahu locations and one in Kaua¡i, becoming a favorite local spot for both residents and visitors looking for the best coffee in Hawaii.
