Knockbox Acai & Espresso
1750 Kalākaua Ave, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“Tucked quietly across from the Honolulu Convention Center, this espresso bar punches well above its weight with stellar acai bowls (the cacao and almond butter upgrade is a must) and surprisingly adventurous limited offerings like their albacore tuna roll. The vibe is genuinely warm—the team here is consistently kind and attentive, and if you're into trading cards, you might just pull something special while sipping your matcha or perfectly pulled espresso. It's the kind of spot locals have found for a reason: solid coffee, excellent food, and a peaceful place to actually sit and linger without the crowds.”

They sell One Piece and Pokemon packs from Japan!! I pulled a Gold Pikachu from Mega Dream so stoked Mahalos🤙🤙🤙
The people that works there is always so nice and kind. The food is really good and their matcha is one of my favorites!
Best aćai bowl I've had in Ala Moana/Waikiki and I've had 3 others! Highly recommend getting the cacao and almond butter upgrade. The cacao is slightly bitter and helps balance out the sweetness. The almond butter has texture and taste similar to peanut butter but it's healthier! Staff is awesome, friendly, and has great recommendations on places to hike/drive to for great views!
Coffee and food are GREAT. I got the limited albacore tuna roll. It had a wonderful depth of flavor and was well worth the price. The service was also impeccable. The owner is super nice and courteous, and i will definitely be coming back! If you need a quick pick me up, or bite to eat please check it out!
