Pewa
1115 Bethel St, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Honolulu's Chinatown, this thoughtfully crafted space blurs the line between specialty coffee and craft cocktails, with a barista team like Noel who genuinely care about pairing your drink with the perfect pastry or bite. The vibe is genuinely easygoing—whether you're settling in for a study session or catching up with friends—and their creative house-made drinks and kitchen output (think spiced cocktails with ulu breadfruit orange muffins) show they're thinking beyond the usual café playbook. It's the kind of place that nails that rare balance of being both stimulating and restorative, already proving itself as one of Chinatown's more intriguing newcomers.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
