Downtown Coffee Honolulu
900 Fort Street Mall, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“This Downtown Honolulu gem is run by genuinely passionate owners Fred and John who roast their own beans every Saturday morning right outside the shop, giving you complete transparency into the quality you're tasting. Their espresso-focused menu shines whether you're ordering a silky Kona latte or one of their creative signature drinks, and the care they put into roasting shows in every cup—customers consistently praise the smooth, balanced flavor profiles and the exceptional quality of their Hawaiian-grown coffee. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that gives you hope for specialty coffee in areas overtaken by chains, with a simple but thoughtful menu and owners who actually care about getting your order just right.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. Opens early.

A beautiful coffee shop. Simple but nice menu variety. They also have Decaf espresso so it's perfect for an afternoon latte. They roast their coffee beans every weekend. Can't wait to try their caramel cappuccino next 🤗
