Crema's Take

Tucked away in Kaimuki, Plantoem feels like a secret garden with its plant-filled aesthetic and remarkably peaceful atmosphere—the kind of place where you genuinely want to linger over their exceptional matcha lattes, particularly their honey matcha that keeps customers coming back. The vibe is distinctly cozy and unhurried, with thoughtful touches like relaxing music and curated plant and gift browsing that make it feel less like a typical café and more like a creative sanctuary where meeting friends or settling in to work flows naturally.

It’s a lovely atmosphere and great matcha- like amazing matcha. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the sitting limit - I don’t know if this is really enforced but I do find it a bit odd that seating for paying customers no matter the purchases is still 90 min. I usually will pick a cafe for a day and stay for a while and buy snacks every 1-2 hours so I don’t feel as good about this place; though overall good vibes; just maybe for a quicker trip

My first time trying this place, and I loved it. My friend and I went to the plant sale that they were having, and I absolutely adored this place. It’s such a cute cozy spot with really relaxing music.. a really great place for studying or working too!

Super cute café with a peaceful vibe and amazing drinks. The honey matcha latte was really good! Love the plant-filled aesthetic, and it’s a great spot to work with WiFi available.

This place is so cute and peaceful. Had the honey matcha and black sesame lattes, both delicious. Quiet place to study. They have cute plants and gifts to browse too.
