Hawaiian Aroma Caffe
2300 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“Hawaiian Aroma Caffè brings energetic vibrancy to Waikiki's café scene with its lively atmosphere, DJ sets, and ocean views that make it feel more like a social hub than a typical beach coffee shop. Their espresso drinks earn genuine praise—reviewers rave about americanos that stand out even in coffee-saturated Waikiki—while their warm banana bread and thoughtfully made açai bowls suggest real care in the kitchen beyond just the usual tourist café fare. If you want excellent coffee with a pulse, great pastries, and the buzz of a place that's actually become a local favorite in just months, this newly opened spot delivers all of that with the beach practically at your doorstep.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

A really cool upbeat louder cafe overlooking Waikiki Beach. It’s great for those looking for something with more energy and noise vs quiet Hawaiian vibe. Has DJ sets at times and current EDM tracks. Def an energetic place. Interiors very fresh with beautiful aesthetics of white…
