Teapresso Bar
3220 Waialae Ave, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“This tucked-away Honolulu gem is easy to miss on its busy road, but folks keep finding their way back for their exceptional Vietnamese coffee and creative specialty drinks that punch above their weight. The Kaimuki location especially shines with genuinely warm staff and quiet corners perfect for settling in, though fair warning—parking can be a puzzle and the space could use some aesthetic TLC. If you're after a refreshing, no-fuss drink spot with real personality and skill behind the counter, it's absolutely worth the hunt.”

Small drink spot on a busy road, hard to see signage, and easy to miss. Got a Vietnamese coffee, den da, it was excellent and refreshing. Would recommend and return. Just have to figure out the parking. I parked at the gas station nearby and didn’t check further.
Awesome place for a quick refreshing drink. Their Vietnamese coffee is a must try.
Genuinely such a nice place with lovely staff and nice quiet places to study. I've only ever been to a different location (which is MUCH more crowded than I'd like) and this made me genuinely so happy. It's really a hidden gem for a college student like me, who's on the lookout for quiet places to work and enjoy some boba. Awesome job guys!!
Great tea and boba❤️, but the location needs a face-lift. Broken door, discolored walls, lacks ambiance, etc. Also, be aware that the macaroons arrive on a Tuesday each week, so on Sunday/Monday, they might not be great. I took a risk on 2 despite them kindly giving a heads up that they were older... one was hard and tasted of freezer 😩 but the other still tasted pretty fresh 😋
I was given less-than-stellar customer service at a different Teapresso and wanted to try another location. Kaimuki - specifically the barista, Ha - was awesome! She mentioned that “no ice” with my Thai Coffee and Vietnamese Coffee would be at the line shown in the sample and if I was OK with that. Yes, I am good with the sample line! Both drinks met my expectations and were awesome. I really appreciate this business being upfront and meeting customer expectations (i.e. telling me coffees only come in a large & if I was still ok with purchasing it). I would definitely come back to this location the next time I’m in the area. Thanks, Ha!
