Crema's Take

Tucked away in Liliha, this cat-themed café is a cozy refuge that expertly balances quick coffee runs with leisurely sit-down moments, all while maintaining an Instagram-worthy aesthetic that feels genuinely welcoming rather than performative. Their specialty cold brews and creative matcha drinks earn serious devotion—visitors rave about the quality and unique flavor profiles, with the bottled drinks offering impressive value at around $10 for two servings. Whether you're grabbing a pastry on your way out or settling in for an afternoon, the genuinely friendly service and thoughtfully curated drink menu make this hidden gem feel less like a trendy spot and more like the café you didn't know you needed.

The cutest little hidden gem in liliha. Aesthetic is 10/10, I stay ordering online and picking up in store. It’s super fast and the bottled drinks are fantastic, $10 and it’s enough for 2 drinks for me. It’s small so I haven’t ever had my drink in but if you’re lucky enough to grab a table it really is such a vibe. The hojicha latte is my go to, and sometimes I like to pair it with the flavored milks they offer (s’mores and strawberry are my favs) did I mention it’s oat milk 🙏🏻 I’ve been coming frequently with no plans on stopping.

Absolutely loved my experience here! Ever realized I needed a Japanese style, cat themed super chill café in my life but it turns out I did! Also the service and the drinks were absolutely great. I got the strawberry Matcha, my friend got the blueberry Matcha and my other friend got the cold brew! They have ceremonial grade Matcha, which I’ve never had before, and it tasted absolutely spectacular! Not to mention the service, there is only a couple people working there, but they still managed to carry your drinks to you! I will be coming back soon!

Fantastic little cafe that specializes in unique cold brews but also has an extensive list of espresso and matcha based drinks. I quite enjoyed my lightly sweetened matcha and matcha marble cake. The decor was fun and they curated quite the on-theme book collection. DJ playing music on the frame TV was a nice touch. Seating is very limited with just two tables that can comfortably fit 4.

Super cozy little coffee shop tucked away from the touristy areas that's a sleeper hit. Really friendly vibes with a nice aesthetic for folks who want to sit down and relax. I was actually impressed by the coffee - many of the options are the prebottled cold brews that are made with oat milk (iirc), and while I'm usually only "sure" when it comes to oat milk, this stuff was really good. I had the Chairo and one of the made to order drinks and both were fantastic. We also got to sample the peppermint flavor and lychee flavor as well, and I was quite surprised how well the flavors meshed. Would visit again next time I'm in Hawaii, probably right off the bat to stock up on some bottles of coffee so I can get my fix when all the other shops are closed.

What a treasure to find such a delicious coffee shop on vacation! Recommend it to all who loves good quality coffee or cold brew! We visited it twice during our 4 day stay despite it being far from our hotel! It says a lot! The baristas are very sweet and friendly😍 I recommend it with whole my heart🥰 They have sample for you, so you can try the coffee out before purchasing. Small cute coffee shop!
