Crema's Take

Tucked in the lobby of the Queen Kapiʻolani Hotel, this espresso-focused roastery hits that sweet spot between quick coffee run and lingering third-place vibes, with a genuinely welcoming staff who'll happily customize your drink or guide you through their menu. Their cold brew is seriously excellent, and the light food menu—think avocado toast, banana toast, and açaí bowls—pairs beautifully with carefully crafted specialty drinks like their iced white mocha, making it a favorite for both hotel guests and Waikiki locals looking for their morning ritual.

Cute little coffee shop/bar combo in the lobby of Queen Kapiʻolani Hotel. The employee was super helpful with answering questions we had about their menu and adjusting sweetness levels of our drinks. We ordered an iced mango peach tea (unsweetened) and a breezy brown sugar latte (half sweetness). Both drinks were delicious! They also had plenty of food options as well. I would stop by again even if I wasn't staying at the hotel.

Knots Coffee Roasters is such a gem. The breakfast and coffee were absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly sweet and welcoming. I had the avocado toast and banana toast, and both were honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. Highly recommend this place for a relaxed, feel-good breakfast with great coffee!

My wife & I stayed here for our honeymoon & had breakfast here almost everyday. I loved the iced white mocha coffee & breakfast sandwich & my wife loved the açaí bowls. Everyone was super sweet & friendly & the food was always delicious & fresh & fast to be prepared. The convenience of this shop in the hotel made it that much easier. Would love to stay here again just to have this for breakfast!

Needed a coffee fix this beautiful morning. Dropped by Knots Coffee Roasters in the lobby of Queen Kapiolani Hotel. Super chill vibe. Strong cold brew, just how I like it! Customer service was nice. Got a great selection of food if you got time to eat. Definitely coming back here when I’m in Waikiki!

I had a wonderful stay at the Queen Kapiʻolani Hotel in Honolulu! The location couldn’t be better—just a short stroll from Waikiki Beach, making our family vacation truly unforgettable. The hotel thoughtfully provides beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas, which made our beach days effortless and relaxing. The valet parking was fast, convenient, and efficient, and every staff member we met was warm, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Their exceptional service made all the difference. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Honolulu for a comfortable, stress-free beach getaway!
