This place was amazing. The service was friendly and helpful. We had an Ube and a Pumpkin latte. They had a great taste with the right amount of sweetness. The artwork on the walls is incredible as well. It is very welcoming and makes you want to hang there.

The fancy coffee drinks here are unique. It’s in the top two for coffee shops in Honolulu. Quality and creativity is what’s its about! The Hot Taro Ube is my fave! I’ve had the Hot Maple Latte & Purple Rain too, but the Taro Ube is unforgettable! Cheee

This place has awesome coffee. I usually get a large latte with whole milk. Even comes with latte art...even in a takeout cup! Their beans rock. The house blend is perfect for making espresso at home. I also appreciate how early they open. It's a really cozy comfortable place to start your day.

The avocado toast is the best I've had on island so far! #nomnom So now that that's out the way, a friend referred me to this quaint little place at Ward Center across the street from Merriman's Honolulu on the beach side of Auahi Street and I'm so glad she did! Manager James came from behind the counter to greet me. Wow. He also suggested I try the hot Prince coffee drink (which is pictured in the photos). I almost didn't want to drink it because it was so beautiful : - ) Ample free parking at Ward Center, less than 50 feet from the restaurant in the parking garage. So yea, great customer service, great food and a great atmosphere. What more do you need?

We love this spot so much! Breakfast and lunch are amazing and the beverages are just wonderful. Oh, and they roast their own coffee beans so be sure to get yourself some espresso too!

Great place with a few picture opportunities on the grounds. The staff was very welcoming and I heard their t-shirts, unsure if it is all t-shirts, were pre-shrunk. That is a plus. They seem to be of good quality as well. They had several coffee flavors to try and I was able to get an ice caramel latte and a sea salt caramel cookie. They were both excellent. I don't really drink coffee frequently, but theirs was very flavorful, and smooth. No bitter aftertaste to me. I would go again.

Up until recently, I normally went to the downtown location, but have switched to the Ward location because I moved, and the Ward location is closer to my new place. My friend and I frequent this coffee company on a regular basis. They have consistently solid roasts, yummy sandwiches, great customer service, and the staff always spoil my dog rotten whenever I bring her with me. This has also become one of my favorite places to buy beans for my friends and family whenever I visit them on the mainland.

Kings of creativity, Ali'i coffee has amazing specialty coffee and drinks conveniently located street side for take out with ample parking in the Ward lot. Try any of their specialty lattes or cold brews, you can't go wrong as everything on the menu is amazing. Look for their iconic logo next time you're in Ward Village and grab an Uber Latte to start. You'll soon find yourself coming back again and again to try everything on their menu.
