B-Side Coffee Bar
2375 Ala Wai Blvd, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside the Wayfinder hotel lobby, B-Side Coffee Bar sources beans from Social Hour on Maui and takes their espresso seriously, pulling shots with real care and consistency that regulars genuinely appreciate. The baristas here exude genuine warmth and aloha, creating an unhurried, welcoming vibe that feels refreshingly calm compared to busier Waikiki spots, though be prepared to invest around $8 for that quality cup. While their espresso work and specialty drinks like the Horchata Latte shine brightest, opinions on their coffee's overall flavor profile are mixed, so it's worth trying before committing.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu.

The B-Side Coffee Bar is one of the better cafés in Waikiki. The espresso is pulled properly most of the time. There are dairy and non-dairy milk options. The food is kind of mehhk but the croissants are pleasant (as long as they don’t microwave them). The staff are friendly…
What a wonderful place full of Aloha. My neighbor works there and she is an amazing woman. The Baristas and Managers are so kind. The drinks are delicious. I had Horchata Latte, that was made with love. The Cinnamon flavor is a must taste. If you want a relaxing chill vibe,…
Prepare to spend around $8 for coffee. I have been here twice. Service is always top notch. This place is fairly new and inside a hotel so not that busy. The line is never out the door ( 4-5 ) people. Seating is bar top style seats. No ac in this open air lobby but there is a…
