Mirage Art & Coffee

"Terrible workers…. The worst experience I have ever had in Hawaii. Added INFO: I am reviewing Mirage Art & Coffee located in 1425 10th Ave, Honolulu, HI 96816, United States. And one of worker was Jasmine and another one is the young girl(her daughter or just employees?) . Both were really discriminational. When I went this store, it was June 2023 (I know the date since I have the photos). The owner and the young girl were racists. The owner first asked me “Do you understand English?” although I was talking to her English. I doubted what I just heard of. The young girl working for evening event declined to serve us although many white ladies were already ordering and having seats at the same time I tried to order. She said “It’s not ready yet” although she took orders white ladies before and after me. My friend said how rude it was of her. They obviously do discrimination at this store. The owner had a night event so she wanted to close the store when I went to the store around noon although the store was supposed to open according to google open hours. When the owner said she was about to close the store and push me to order in a second because of her preparation of the night event, I told her that “I will not order anything today. I will come back another day. I’d like to enjoy the atmosphere of the store by having seats. The owner didn’t listen to me at all. She repeated “What do you want? She was ridiculously pushy! If you are a nice person, she traps you. Although I didn’t want to order and wanted to take time to decide the menu, the owner pushed me. She sounded like she was going to give me free pastry so I ordered with iced latte. But she charged me pasty as she didn’t act anything weird and she gave me hot latte…..and she poured it over lots of ice. Most disgusting thing was that she was touching coffee beans by her hands…I wanted to run away and say I don’t want it….but I had to pay everything. The owner said to come back to the night event. I forgot something at the store so I had to go back there at night event but they were very rude again so my friend got angry and wants to leave there. The price was so expensive and nothing special. These workers were very disrespectful. They were not nice at all."

"Went to this hidden gem on a nice rainy day! Enjoyed trying forth the Turkish and Saudi coffees, as well as the honey rose latte (yummy!!!). :) it’s a sweet cozy spot. Shared some delish food with my friends and enjoyed looking at all the art. Try it out :)"

"Great place if they are ever open and keep to their hours . Had the Saudi coffee the last time interesting and nice. This is our third time trying to go here wanted to try the Turkish coffee alas 0922 and no one’s there yet again no notice on door but light on . Oh well third times a charm opened 1 of 3 tries. Hard to stay in business (especially a small place like this) without customers and repeat customers. Won’t be going again . 3 stars only because I liked the Saudi coffee . You’d think a coffee shop would be open especially on a Saturday when half the world is off."

"My wife and I got babaganoush toast (pictured), avocado toast, vegetarian panini (pictured), pear nut muffin (pictured), lemon cake, and a Saudi coffee (I was pretty hungry). Altogether this cost just over $50, which is overpriced in my opinion. Food was ok except for some burnt toast and dry $5.25 muffin. All I wanted to drink was water but they only have bottled, so I abstained. I like that there's a place out in Palolo with vegetarian food but I can't say I left here super happy."
