Crema's Take

Tucked inside the historic Moana Surfrider Resort, this intimate coffee shop transforms a simple caffeine run into something genuinely special, where sipping a Hawaiian latte—crafted with coconut and macadamia nut syrup—feels like part of the Waikiki experience itself. The space invites you to linger with its outdoor seating and unhurried vibe, perfect for meeting a friend or settling in before heading to the beach, though the pastry quality can be a bit uneven. Staff warmth and creative drinks like their signature hibiscus elixir keep regulars coming back, even if the sweetness level isn't always perfectly calibrated.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

When I am in Waikīkī I like to grab a coffee and açaí bowl in the morning or heading to the beach. I got the Hawaiian latte- which has coconut and macadamia nut syrup which is a little too sweet for me. I also wanted an açaí bowl so I got the classic- acai with bananas,…
