The Curb Kaimuki
3408 Waialae Ave Suite 103, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Honolulu's Kaimuki neighborhood, The Curb is a genuinely beloved third-place where espresso drinks shine and pour-overs invite you to linger—the kind of spot where regulars keep trying to quit because their home coffee tastes like "sadness and paper" in comparison. The team moves with intention, never rushing customers even during early morning rushes, and the sun-filled space with its authentic, understated charm makes it equally perfect for a quick signature drink or settling in with a book for hours.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

One of my all-time favorite coffee spots and one of the all around best shops I've ever been to. Not only is the coffee fantastic but everyone working is very nice and the space is authentically and effortlessly cool and welcoming. Would be my regular spot if I lived in Honolulu.
My husband takes their signature drink to go, while I try their pour overs at their table. The staff taking our order never rushes their customers even if there is a 6:30am line. After coming here a handful of times, I think I prefer their iced latte drinks over their hot…
Loved the ambience - it gets popular and I can see why. Great for working/reading at, with large windows to let in sunlight. Flat white/latte with Olympia Coffee's Sweetheart - 3.5 stars Decent medium roast but I personally prefer light roasts.
