Honu Coffee

"We've tried Honu a handful of times since we moved to the SCV a few years ago. We're not anti-the big chain coffee places, but happy to support a local spot if the product is good. Re the good, the donuts are fantastic. They definiitely live up to the claim of at least among the best donut over. Nothing crazy like you might find at Voodoo, just super good donuts on a variety of basic flavors. They put to shame any other nearby chain donut. The coffee, however, has been hit or miss for us. The first time we ordered the Nutty Hawaiian it was great, strong coffee presence with the Hawaiian flavors creating a unique, bold and tasty coffee experience. The second time we ordered it, the coffee felt absent and it tasted like warmed milk and sugar. Bummer! Especially after loving it so much the first time. Okay, maybe they had an off day...we waited a while, came back several months later to cap off a Farmer's Market experience and ordered it again. Donut -- on point, but same disappointing Nutty Hawaiian. My wife even specified to make sure the coffee presence was strong in the drink, which was responded to with sort of a non-committal "okay." Same result...warmed milk and sugar, no coffee flavor, and not really any discernable elements of the Nutty Hawaiian flavors of one of their "signature drinks". So now I'm thinking that's the norm and not the amazing one we first had. A coffee-forward coffee shop should have excellent coffee. Unfortunately, that hasn't been our experience. We'd definitely come back for more donuts, though."

"Team meeting done right. Our team used to go to the other location for any team meetings and we moved to this one and it’s still a great vibe. The coffee is great and the environment is even better"

"Just tried out this cozy coffee spot and it's a gem! The aroma hits you as you walk in, and the baristas are friendly. The espresso had a perfect kick, and the atmosphere was just what I needed to unwind. Definitely my new go-to spot for a caffeine fix! ☕"

"Love love the chai - both iced and hot with macadamia nut milk! I so appreciate they also offer vegan gluten free pastries. Staff is always friendly. Great place!"

"First time trying this coffee shop. I found this place from a Local Guide on Google maps. They are right about Honu Coffee. This coffee house is a local destination for having their favorite cold/hot beverages and assortment of pastries. A pet friendly environment. I found the facility lacks inside tables with more seating outside. I wish they had comfortable seating. The Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their products/beverages. Honu Coffee is a great place to get your favorite drink."
