Crema's Take

Awa Hou is a rare gem serving traditional Hawaiian kava in a genuinely welcoming space that feels like home the moment you walk in. Beyond the expertly prepared awa and creative drink combinations like kava with coconut water, this spot pulses with community energy—hosting live music nights, game events, and open mics that draw everyone from kava newcomers to seasoned islanders looking for an alcohol-free gathering place. The owner's infectious knowledge and hospitality create an atmosphere so genuine that visitors and locals alike keep coming back for both the drinks and the connection.

On vacation here in Honolulu and very happy to have found this spot. Love the atmosphere, great hospitality and very clean space. Felt right at home. Im fijian so am use to kava but being in Canada its hard to get a hold of kava so totally blown away that there's a spot like this. It was just a short 8min drive away from our hotel.

Saw an amazing instrumental funk band jamming out here on a Saturday night. Good kombucha. Going back for open mic. Such a good addition for the music community.
