Island Vintage Coffee
1450 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“Island Vintage Coffee is a beloved Honolulu brunch destination that pairs expertly crafted espresso drinks (like their standout banana Kona mocha frozen coffee) with vibrant, fresh açai bowls and full breakfast offerings that justify the wait. The team clearly takes pride in quality ingredients and attentive service, creating a warm aloha vibe that keeps visitors returning again and again, even in this pricey tourist area. It's the kind of place where the line moves fast and every order—from creative cold brews to papaya bowls—tastes like it was made with real care.”

We went here for breakfast and it was so delicious. The banana Kona mocha frozen coffee was definitely something I want to have again before I leave. It is busy but the line goes by quick and there’s seating available. Even though it was so busy, Clarissa took the time to explain the menu as well as the different types of coffee sold to take home. Thank you again for being so patient and helpful!! I look forward to enjoying all of the different flavors at home :)
Definitely our favorite brunch spot in Hawaii! Everything was so fresh and delicious 🌺the papaya bowl was one of the best we’ve ever had, and all the drinks were amazing
Delicious brunch place with long lines but worth the wait. I would visit every time I’m back to Honolulu. The staffs were very accommodating and friendly. My friends and I really liked the Island Style Plate that comes with delicious papaya. I ordered the lox plate and had fun making my own lox from the prepared ingredients. I really enjoyed their %100 Kona coffee as well.
This was a great place with various options of drinks and food for a regular price, considering the area is very touristy and expensive. I went around 9 a.m. during the week, and it wasn’t full at all, only around 5 customers. I ordered the small Haupia Moana Açai Bowl, and the size was still very big for one person. They are already prepared in a good-size bowl, so it is very easy to have it to-go like I did. The flavor and the freshness of all the ingredients were amazing, and the serving size of all fruits was very reasonable. They have a bigger size option, but this was enough to leave me feeling full for a couple of hours. Since it’s within the mall, it has plenty of parking available all the time, especially in the morning that the big stores are closed. I would recommend it as a stop if you are planning on going to the Ala Moana Beach/Magic Island area.
Island Vintage Coffee is hands down one of our favorite spots in Hawaii! From their rich, smooth coffee to their fresh and flavorful acai bowls, everything is made with care and quality ingredients. The vibe is laid-back yet vibrant — perfect for a morning pick-me-up or a relaxed afternoon break. We loved the local touches in the menu, and the presentation was beautiful. Service was friendly and efficient, and the whole experience felt like a true island treat. Definitely worth a stop (or two) while you’re here! Great selection for breakfast lovers too!
