Talk Kaimuki
3601 Waialae Ave, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“Talk Kaimuki is a neighborhood gem in Honolulu where regulars keep coming back for excellent, consistently made espresso drinks and the rare combination of a calm, focus-friendly atmosphere paired with genuinely good breakfast sandwiches and baked goods. The staff genuinely cares about getting your order right and the music hits just right—not too loud, with a cool vibe that makes it equally perfect for a solo study session or catching up with friends over coffee. Fair warning: the sandwich quality can be inconsistent and the shop layout is a bit quirky, but the loyal following suggests that for many, the whole experience outweighs the occasional misstep.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late.

My favorite coffee shop in Kaimuki. Been coming here multiple times a week for years. Great place to study and catch up with friends. Tasty breakfast sandwiches, coffees, and baked goods (especially their muffins). I've had times where coffee wasn't made the best and I would let…
Today I got to try the breakfast at Talk Kaimuki and found it very quiet, relaxing and calm with a tasty meal. The service was friendly and helpful.
Favorite neighborhood coffee shop, service is fast, music is always good, not too loud so I can focus, coffee is excellent and always made exactly how I like it. The quiches and frittata are so delicious. Friendly staff , Lane is awesome. And the owner is also super sweet.
Honestly, this place has a cool vibe, but it’s laid out so weird. There’s almost no room to occupy while waiting in line. Someone takes your order and then makes your order, instead of one person taking the orders and one person making the food. So it took longer than any other…
