Kooks Coffee
2500 Dole St, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“Tucked near UH Manoa, Kooks Coffee is a local favorite that crafts their own syrups from locally sourced ingredients, resulting in standout drinks like the beloved Nanner Bread Iced Latte and cold brew that customers rave about. The baristas move with impressive speed and warmth, making each visit feel personal despite the quick-grab efficiency, and you'll find creative house signatures like The Duke and Ube alongside classic espresso drinks that showcase real care in every cup.”

I spotted Kooks Coffee in the neighborhood and decided to stop by, so glad I did! The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was quick. I ordered the Nanner Bread Iced Latte, and it was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be back!
The coffee here was amazing! They have so many different choices and they’re all so tasty. The baristas are all very kind and they get you your coffee quickly. I love that they source everything locally! You can tell how fresh everything they use is. The nanner bread late and the dawn patrol were our favorites! Highly recommend. You have to stop by if you’re in the area!
The coffees we purchased at Kooks were amazing! The Duke, Ube, Dawn Patrol (Mac nut), and ‘Nanner Bread were each so delicious! I love that Kooks makes their own syrups with locally sourced ingredients. The employees are upbeat and brought a smile to my face. I will definitely be going back soon! Kooks is located on a quiet shaded spot on the University of Hawaii’s Manoa campus. We were treated to a gorgeous rainbow on both of our visits.🌈
🚗📍If you’re driving: navigate to UH Manoa Campus. From East-West Rd, make a left on Correa Rd (where the Health Center is) & just follow it to Campus Center! There is a FREE loading-zone parking spot there & not to mention paid visitor parking all over UH Campus. ☕️🥥 Kooks is my FAVORITE coffee in Hawaii!!! Their local flavors made in-house are truly unmatched! The owners & employees are super friendly & customer-service oriented. They also have the cutest merch!!! Love that they’re also at farmer’s markets on weekends!
Kooks is my favorite!!! Best coffee, BEST COLD BREW, and don’t get me started on the banana milk/ nannerbread latte. All their ingredients are locally sourced (love that) and the effort that goes into each cup shines thru. I don’t live near UH, but I legit go out of my way at least once a week for cup. Plus 5 stars for the customer experience, these girls are so personable, funny and always smiling. Makes me want to buy all their merch and work for them too !
