Kona Coffee Purveyors
Kuhio Mall Entrance, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“This beloved Honolulu institution celebrates the distinctive character of Kona coffee with meticulous care, letting the smooth, aromatic beans shine through in every pour over and espresso-based drink. Beyond the exceptional coffee, their French-style pastries—think kouign amann and chocolate banana almond croissants—rival the best patisseries in town, making it worth arriving slightly off-peak to avoid the notorious morning rush. It's the kind of place that rewards a slower pace, where regulars have been returning for years to linger with a perfectly balanced cup and a flaky pastry.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

I have heard a lot about this place, and I would say it was all worth it. I had black sesame kouiin Aman, chocolate kouign amann and chocolate banana almond croissant. Everything was so good but my fav was black sesame one. Long wait times but good food compensates it all.

The line is busy and it is definitely under rated. Listen to me, this is a place with great coffee and b patisserie pastry Honolulu location. You know how long the line to wait it is for b patisserie San Francisco? And that one is for pastry only. This one has Kona coffee come…
I’ve been visiting this place for about five years, and honestly, it’s becoming overrated. The coffee this time wasn’t as good as usual, even though the same barista has been here since at least 2021. Yes, the croissants and pastries are tasty, and the atmosphere is pleasant,…
