Cafe Nene
209 Kaʻiulani Ave, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“This bright newcomer to Honolulu sources beans from a local Oahu roaster and executes both classic and creative drinks with striking clarity—reviewers rave about their latte being life-changing and praise the thoughtful flavor combinations across their small, carefully curated menu. Beyond coffee, they've mastered matcha tea and offer a relaxed, welcoming space where the friendly staff actually helps you discover what you'll love, whether you're a decisive regular or a curious first-timer.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.
