the mall branch — perfect for shoppers, unlike the beachside or hotel spots
Not every branch is the same. Pick the one that fits the day.
the resort-convenience branch — better for guests than the boutique Moana Surfrider one
the quiet boutique one — more intimate than the high-volume flagship or beachside stands
the polished Prince Waikiki branch — more spacious and A/C controlled than the beachside stands
the high-end resort branch — more specialty-focused than the beachside stands
the educational hub — choose this over the boutique hotel branches for the roaster
the high-convenience Sheraton branch — faster and more beach-ready than the historic Moana Surfrider one
the historic porch experience — pick this over the mall or hotel lobby branches

What are the hours at the Ala Moana Honolulu Coffee?
This location is open Monday through Saturday 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Sunday 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, aligning with the Ala Moana Center shopping hours.

What is Honolulu Coffee known for?
Honolulu Coffee is known for its Farm to Cup philosophy — the company owns and operates its own Kona coffee farm on the slopes of Mauna Loa on the Big Island. This lets them source prized varieties like Peaberry and Extra Fancy Kona directly.
Is this a good spot to sit down and work on a laptop?
This location is not set up for extended work sessions — there is no wifi and it operates as a high-turnover shopping mall cafe. It's better suited for a quick quality stop between shopping.
Can I buy coffee beans or gifts to take home?
Yes, Honolulu Coffee sells whole bean coffee, making it a convenient spot for visitors looking to bring home authentic Hawaiian coffee. Check their website at honolulucoffee.com for current bean offerings.
What sets this location apart from other coffee options at Ala Moana?
Honolulu Coffee sources from their own Kona farm, so the beans have a traceable Hawaiian origin that most mall cafes can't offer. Their artisan bakery items, made fresh daily with local ingredients, also make it a more complete stop.
