Crema's Take
“Surf Camp Coffee captures that perfect blend of laid-back island vibes and creative craft drinks, with showstopping signatures like their black sesame latte and iced strawberry matcha that keep people coming back. The team genuinely cares about the experience—regulars rave about the sweet, attentive staff and the clean, modern space that's ideal for lingering with friends, even when it gets a little packed. Beyond excellent coffee, they're doing interesting work with matcha and hojicha offerings, plus fresh pastries and light bites that round out a visit that feels both intentional and unpretentious.”

The black sesame latte is worth the visit! The service was nice and friendly. The place was neat (just crowded). I got a bagel with lox. It was good but I'd probably try something else when I go back. I'm already thinking about going back 😋
Nice coffee shop, I got the iced strawberry matcha and loved it! I also got the avocado toast, which was good but maybe a little bit expensive for the quantity. It can be crowded if you want to eat in, but we’re lucky to find a sit outside!
First time here, the vibes were amazing, the staff was sweet and helpful (shout out to christian!) my bf and I got the Olena spritz, avocado toast and black sesame latte with oat milk. Christian recommended the olena spritz and my bf and I loved it! Perfect pick me up before our hike to Koko head.
This coffee shop has the neutral, clean and modern feel. The display case is small but attractive and the coffee drinks are current with the matcha, hojicha, black sesame offerings once could find in San Francisco Japantown. We loved the beautiful ceramics which were used to serve the drinks and food. A number of singletons claim the large round tables available inside. Couples largely sat at the tiny metal Parisian table tops and chairs skirting the outdoor walkway. They offer so many different alternative milks which is great for those that have allergies or intolerances. We noticed their store brand looked familiar to a store in Kahala mall so we inquired and they confirmed that the stores are related.
Love this little shop, they have lots of baked goodies every day, in addition to their main menu items. Parking right around the shop can be tight, but instead of turning left right in front of the shop, there’s overflow to the right. Several tables inside, recommend getting there early if you want a table guaranteed. Have visited often, they’re frequently VERY busy. We tried the coconut loaf slice (very tasty) and my favorite the macnut butter toast (pictured below). Great place to visit
