A breath of fresh air in Makiki! Much to my surprise, this modern coffee shop serves delicious specialty coffee drinks and fresh cafe meals. My espresso tonic was bright & sweet, honestly one of my new favorite coffee drinks in town. Located quietly next to the Makiki Shopping Plaza entrance, it opens up into a freshly spacious dive bar style seating area. From the quality minimal decor, numerous outlets, and pleasant restroom…it can feel like a healthy change to an otherwise scrappy neighborhood with an eclectic crowd, but it’s a true diamond in the rough. There are numerous cafes closer, but I’ll return here for sure 🤙🏼 highly recommend.

Awesome new coffeeshop in Makiki. Not enough places like this in the neighborhood so it's a very welcome addition. I only had a coffee and muffin but they also have sandwiches.

Espresso drinks are solid. I’d say go with the cold brews and any of the sandwiches. Those are great. Don’t do the bagels. They have good flavor but they are really chewy and hard to eat. Maybe I got lucky with the old bagel today? Don’t do the chai latte. Straight milk with a tiny bit of powder at the bottom. It is undrinkable. I usually do coffee but on a Sunday, didn’t want the caffeine. I’ll be adding decaf espresso to it to be able to drink it and not waste a $6 drink 💔
