Bean About Town
3538 Waialae Ave Ste 101, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“Bean About Town stands out for its espresso-forward approach and impeccable coffee quality that avoids the common pitfalls of sourness or bitterness that plague many cafes, with regulars praising how their drinks taste genuinely fresh whether you prefer mild or bold. Beyond the excellent cortados and carefully crafted specialty drinks, the cafe earns devotion for its thoughtful touches like French canelés and genuinely fresh pastries, paired with a warm staff and design that makes it feel like a genuine neighborhood gathering spot rather than just another coffee shop. It's the kind of place where locals become daily regulars and visitors from around Oahu travel slightly out of their way, drawn by the combination of serious coffee craft and genuine hospitality.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Honolulu has some famous cafes around, and I tried many of them. While many of them were pretty good, this was where I had my best coffee in all of Oahu. It's located a little out of popular zone but it makes the place all the better. It's where mostly locals come to get their…
What a great little cafe (when they’re not busy). The seating is small and you’re not really sheltered from the noisy Waialae road, but if you have the place to yourself it’s a really good place to enjoy their quality coffee drinks and pastries. I’m happy they’re my closest cafe…
