Island Brew Coffeehouse
1450 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“Island Brew Coffeehouse captures that rare magic of a gathering spot where the views are as memorable as the drinks themselves, with their Hawaiian honey latte and creative signature beverages like the Banana Rama earning genuine praise from regulars who keep coming back. The waterfront patio vibes are unbeatable—especially if you hit it on a weekday to dodge the notorious weekend crowds—and you'll find yourself lingering over a full breakfast or fresh lunch while soaking in those Hawaii Kai views. It's the kind of place where thoughtful coffee craft meets island hospitality, and the solid espresso foundation means even their traditional drinks punch above the usual tourist-trap coffee shop weight.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.

We've visited twice so far, and this is hands down the best coffee we've had on Oʻahu. The Hawaiian honey latte was fantastic, perfectly balanced, not too sweet or too bitter. On our second visit, we tried the Sunrise Tea, which was exactly what we needed after an afternoon of…
