Kakaako Cafe
725 Kapiolani Blvd, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“Tucked just a couple blocks from the waterfront in Honolulu, Kakaabo Cafe strikes that rare balance between serious espresso craftsmanship and genuinely craveable food, with reviewers raving about everything from silky lattes to a standout Everything Bagel with salmon and surprise side salad. The space feels like your favorite local spot—clean, cozy, and humming with good energy—where the staff makes you feel welcome whether you're settling in with your laptop for hours or grabbing a quick breakfast before work. It's the kind of neighborhood cafe that gets consistently packed at lunch but moves with such ease and warmth that you don't mind the bustle.”

I’ve gone to the cafe several times, as they are a couple of blocks from my apartment. Their food, lattes, and atmosphere are always amazing. The staff is very welcoming! Last time I went there, I ate in. I was so happy to sit there, eat my egg sandwich on a croissant, and enjoy the best latte ever! I brought my IPAD there to do my devotions! It was a perfect experience! Thank y’all
Clean cozy with great coffee food wifi ac music. Can you ask for anything more?
Everything Bagel with Salmon cream cheese onions and capers was amazing and came with a surprise side salad. Was delicious!! Great service, easy parking. Will be back!
We went here for breakfast after reading the reviews and were not disappointed! The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. The prices were reasonable, and I especially loved their bagel pizza—it was so good I ended up ordering two. Their coffee was great as well, and the service was impressively fast. Highly recommend!
Came here for lunch on a weekday. It was bustling but efficient. I got the club sandwich and I have to say, pretty damned tasty!! I love a good club sandwich. This had fresh tomatoes, fresh soft avocado, nice meats, and the bacon was perfect with just the right amount of crunch. The bagel it came on was delicious as well. It came with a tiny salad which had very fresh greens. I'd come back here in an instant! The place is kept spotless and service was friendly and professional.
