Prime Roast Cafe
212 Merchant St R-2, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“This cozy downtown Honolulu spot punches well above its size, pairing impeccable espresso and pour-overs with classically trained cooking that elevates everything from prime rib paninis to fresh pastries. The intimate, tucked-away space draws everyone from casual coffee lovers to groups celebrating special occasions, all united by the genuine warmth of a place that clearly cares about both craft and community. Whether you're stopping by for a methodical pour-over or a leisurely meal, this is where serious coffee meets seriously good food.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
