Downtown Coffee Honolulu

"This is a coffee shop like no other. The owners take incredible pride in brewing the best coffee ever, anywhere. It's 100% Hawai'an coffee, which coffee lovers know is extremely expensive, grown on the mineral-rich volcanic soil, with an incredibly intense flavour and aroma. If you go to Honolulu on a cruise ship (like me), Downtown Coffee is really close to the dock and you must must have a coffee there! Oh yes, the coconut chocolate macaroons are great also!"

"Matcha torte should be a lot more famous than it is. I can make a case for it to be one of the best pastry/desserts I’ve ever had in my life, anywhere in the world. It’s a little frustrating because I have never had anything like it anywhere else and have no idea how to make it if I wanted one at home. You have to buy them here. The coffee is also really good. It’s a small place, hard to access unless you’re walking in the area. A few tables around for outdoor seating. Very friendly staff. Really great experience overall."

"Follow your nose during the early morning hours on Fort Street and you’ll arrive here. Lovely cafe with great people and, most importantly, fresh, delicious espresso drinks made just right."

"Great spot. They roast Ka'u and Kona beans from the big island. Espresso is great. The matcha torte is really delicious! They brought out the silky, theanine flavor of the matcha perfectly."

"A warm, cozy and artisan Hawaiian coffee shop. Friendly and helpful staffs. Great coffee! Delicious pastries. Opened when most know coffee shops closed in downtown."
