Reviews of Islands Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Debra Green

I stopped going anywhere else for food in White Rock... cuz I have never had a bad meal at Islands Cafe | White Rock | Hawaiian Coffee, Poke, and Acai Bowls and it is the best place hands down in White Rock. These guys care about their food and source local free range organic meats. The beer list is off the handle and don't get me started on the bourbon sours! Like I said I've had nothing but the best experience dining there!

Amendment: Based on the thoughtful & informative reply below, I have changed my review and my opinion of both Islands and Starbucks. Thank you ???? Original review: I would love to love Island Cafe, as a local business with a cool Aloha vibe. But honestly, $3.95 for a tablespoon-sized protein ball is ridiculous. Generally way overpriced and I’ll just stick with Starbucks.

Anna Yum

This is the best place for breakfast in White Rock! The food is fresh and cooked to perfection. The egg white frittata is amazing. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is cozy and warm.

Jalene Harding

We are so excited to share our love of Hawaiian Coffee, Acai Bowls and Poke Bowls with the community! Excited to see you soon. J & Robb

There's nothing quite like a morning Americano and smoothie bowl in the uptown location of Islands. Super chill staff, sweet decor, and a cool locals energy.

Michael Desrochers

Expensive and the quantities are small. Poke bowls are basically rice with a bit of meat in them. You'd pay 60$ for 10$-20$ worth of food. If you're an islander, you'll be disappointed in the quantities.

Roger Huizinga

Great Hawaiian coffee and the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had. Really nice start too along with a warm and cool environment.

Roger William Currie

Always great!

Deborah Ezzy

Delicious selection of Hawaiian flavored Coffee in a locally owned coffee shop close to White Rock Beach.

Mi Wi

Coffee was good but the reason for the 3 stars was because I ordered a plain, smallish sized croissant and a medium drip coffee and the charge was $8. Pretty pricey!

Bryan

Great Americano's

david kobryn

great place too chill and refuel. the staff are super nice and skillfully made more than a few americanos for me. wish the hours were longer but I appreciate my down time like the rest of us.

Ivana Bozickovic

Loved the aesthetic of this cafe! I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii so this was a nice taste of what’s waiting for me.

Aleshia Marie

Atmosphere, staff, coffee, food, layout, I love everything about this coffee shop. The owners are super sweet too! So happy you have two locations now!! I hope to see more in the future, Islands Cafe you're the bomb!

Stephen Smith

Lenore Ramos

Paul Cottrell

Awesome.. if you need a coffee or a acai bowl this is the place.

Darren Phillips

One of my go to's for coffee and Poke. (No, not at the same time)

Madison Ziehr

Delicious drinks, great vibes, chill staff!

stef anie

Decent prices for drinks. Service was subpar, somewhat snippy staff who apparently don’t know how to properly count change (and told me I was short when really, they miscounted). Honestly, it seemed like some sort of attempt to get me to pay more for my drink, if I hadn’t noticed.

Denise Rauda

The staff are so friendly and helpful! The cafe has a nice cozy atmosphere and lots of places to sit. I love that they have a large variety of milk options and the food is tasty too. It is a bit pricey but the quality is good and I am happy to support a local business.

John Smith

Great coffee and staff, but please take some time to clean the garbage. As a local resident and frequent customer it makes the area look awful.

Susy Tucker

The poke bowl was delicious and the coffee outstanding but most of all the service was exceptionally courteous and efficient. These guys are a great addition to White Rock.

Shelly Lynn Hughes

Yummy tuna.

Alix C. Noon

Love the staff, atmosphere, food, and drinks! They have delicious acai bowls! My fiance loves the smoothies. Such a cute little place, never had to wait long.

mar ter kuile

Nice big place. Lots of outdoor seating too. My toasted bagel was deliciously coated with a thick layer of cream cheese, avocado and tomato. Yummy!

Ashley R

Love this place! Some of the best coffee I have had. I come here regularly and it is my top choice in the area

Wiktoria Molska

Great London fogs!!

Mia Sampert

Amazing flatbread, great drinks and super friendly staff!! ????????

Wilson Lin

Had a great breakfast and coffee here. It is for sure a gem in the area and worth hitting up. Will be returning here soon.

Caelan Cross1

Awesome acai bowl!

Jessica McGuire

I absolutely loved the atmoshphere of Islands Cafe the moment I entered it. I never frequented the shop that was in it before but what they've done to this place is amazing! I was reminded of lazy days at the beach, nights at a tiki bar, and Hawaiian vacations. What's more, the food selection is healthy and creative! My favourite is the açai bowl and chocolate coconut cookie. Thank you for this little slice of tropical paradise, I will definitely be back!

Neo

I come here most often for my morning latté. Love it. The vibe is really cool, laid back friendly. A nice place you could even bring your laptop and do some work or hang with some friends.

Sanjeet Sahota

The choco Mac nut latte brought back Hawaii vibes of grabbing a coffee in the morning and strolling through Waikiki in the morning. The gluten free double chocolate cookie, albeit decently chewie, was just ok.

Jennifer Johnson

OMG wow how wonderful is this place.

Mike Freedman

Fantastic cafe, great acai bowl, coffee and Hawaiian ambiance! Service is very good too.

Michael Lisowsky

Try the Big Hawaiian smoothie, you will not regret it!

Summer Fedor

I loooooove this place. Açai bowls are delicious. ???????????? check it out

Karina Lauren Cebuliak

YUMMMY! Islands Cafe is delicious and has laser focus on it's products. If you are looking for a full on menu with lots of options, this isn't the place for you BUT if you are looking for healthy options that are also incredibly delicious, you'll probably love it here. They have an acai bowl to die for - it's quite substantial - a smoothie bowl with fresh coconut, blueberries, banana, and granola. They also have a tuna poke bowl that I haven't been able to try as of yet. Crossing my fingers I will try it this week. I was going to give them four stars because of the lack of options but honestly, their food is so good and they advertise exactly what it is they're selling so they got the big 5! We mustn't forget coffee - they also slam it home with great hawaiian coffee. The vibe is quite hip, surfboards on the wall and throughout, very chill and beachy feeling.

KB W

Love the atmosphere and great staff! Favourite food is poke but I also enjoy the flat bread, breakfast sandwiches, and açai. The coffee is always great because they roast it fresh. Favourite drink is Haupia Macchiato. My wife, kids and I go a couple times a week.

Mark Robbins

Great place. Friendly staff, awesome surf themed room.

Caryl Cherniak

Always a good spot. Great vibe, good food, clean, cozy.

Kayla Morin

Great coffee, great food, great place for meeting up with friends. The music could be a little quieter but that's my only complaint. If you can, grab a seat outside and sip your palm tree latte in the sunshine as you people watch with your best friend! I highly recommend the palm tree latte for coffee drinks- it's lightly sweet with a nutty flavour to it, blends nicely with the steamed milk and espresso. They do cute latte art as well! If you've been to Hawaii you've probably tried some form of macadamia nut latte or whatever so this latte will bring you back! The acai bowls are $10.50, not my ideal price but they are so worth it! Everything is fresh and you get a big helping so it's well worth your money. Free WiFi, outlets for computers, desks too, couches, this place is also ideal for doing work as I see a lot of customers come here to do! A must-visit cafe for anyone visiting White Rock :)

Hulya D.

Subtly Hawaii surfer themed, not on your face. Good coffee. Each time I went there young nice people were behind the counter. There is a decent free wifi. It attracts people of different ages which makes it welcoming. One can sit and work there. Each time I am in White Rock that is my destination café.

Rabia Jamil

They forgot my order, which is fine since they were pretty busy on Sunday morning, but when I went up to ask about it (after waiting 12 mins and seeing two people behind me getting their orders before me), the one who took my order at the cash, loudly said that she will put my order ahead of the others waiting. She made ME sound impatient when in reality, she forgot to process my order! When I called her out on it, she didn't even bother listening and just continued to make my drink. Great ambiance but they need to learn how to deal with high volumes of clients coming in. As you can clearly see on my cup, my order wasn't even written down to begin with...

dherfindahl

I usually come for the breakfast and coffee but lately the service has been very laid back and not in a good way. One of the staff answered a phone call while I’m waiting ? What appeared to be a personal phone call for at least 5 min. And the other day I waited for almost 15 min before asking how long the food would take and he forgot to make it. So I had to leave the place because I was in a rush and pay 8 bucks for just a small coffee. Good food Service needs improvement.

Nick Potter

Levi is the goat and the staff are sick!

Jazz Prasad Skold

It's relaxed. They have excellent coffee. They play good music. Staff is friendly. Accessible.

Armand Rashid

Great atmosphere and even better baked goods. You get a more comfortable and less corporate feel than starbucks with even better coffee and amazing tea. Be sure to try their aloha cinamon bun!

Peter Richardson

Poke is good if you can get there before they sell out each day.

Elisa Hunter

Great espresso, way better than Starbucks or bean around the world, great food, great atmosphere, friendly baristas! All you could ever want in a coffee shop!

Kathleen Ware

A gem of a cafe in White Rock. The coffee is amazing and a fantastic way to start the morning. The atmosphere is relaxing - where you can really unwind and enjoy a great brew. Highly recommended.

Sharon Wu

Super cozy atmosphere with friendly staff. It's a great place to grab food and coffee with friends and because it's not too loud it also makes for a great reading/work space.

Ned Hamill

They have one of best Coffee around. I'm addicted

Malina Lee

Its a coffee shop, but what we had was good

Sarah Turner

Amazing staff, incredible coffee, and DELICIOUS acai bowls! Inviting atmosphere and a lovely patio make for a wonderful addition to the White Rock city.. Highly recommend giving them a try. New favorite cafe!

Amit Pannu

I Loved your coffee and breakfast sandwich.

Daniel Murazik

The poke is good, it's closer to Hawaiian-style than California-style so it's no frills, I like this place though because everything felt clean and professional and they handled covid in a very orderly fashion.

Carey Vandenberg

Lots of seating so you can spread out. Great for groups. Good coffee which is the most important. Could use better bakery goods however. $3.65 for a poor Starbucks quality muffin that looks like it came from a grocery store bulk bakery package? No thanks. Breakfast sandwich and coffee combo seems like a good deal. Will be back to try that. It's 9:20am on a Friday morning and there is a really nice community, hangout feel here. Good overall but Bean Around The World for me has the slight edge.

Liza Giang

Refreshing smoothies!

Adam Lawrenson

Great location lots of parking, good coffee and very nice staff. Despite Covid it was very busy in there and they did not mention when my food or coffee was ready. So I had to keep an eye on it. Great coffee amd a cool vibe here.

Roxci The Explorer

Mmmm....first timers, try a palm tree latte and aloha bun ????????

Roberto Sawatzky

Always reliably good coffee and treats. My go to.

Earl Johnson

Had a great time with my family. Ordered a number of dishes and kind of shared them. The food was tasty

Alka G

I love this cafe, its so cute and its got such a great vibe. And the staff is so friendly. I feel like I'm on a mini vacation when I walk in because the Hawaiian theme, and the drinks/food is good!

Matthew Craig

What a fun place! Very informative barista, answering all my coffee-geek questions clearly and with a smile. I didn't know that I could get Hawaiian coffee beans in Vancouver. Cool Hawaiian vibe here that makes me want to chill.

Tia Farmer

As much as I love their acai bowls and coffee, the service tends to be cold and careless. I've had two fantastic baristas/servers, I'm always relieved when I see one of them. But unfortunately the majority of the staff seem to be in bad moods and don't put much care into service. Service aside, the place is bright and clean, and the food and beverages are amazing.

Eileen Dreams

Friendly relaxed good coffee and healthy food.

Shelly Pereira

Wish we had one in Langley ???? Love the food and drinks here. The mocha is especially yummy ????

Adam R. Powell

This is the real thing, tasty and smooth and strong too! Live it and highly recommend it!

Pardeep Sahota

Good place to work or study. Acai bowls are yummy and the coffee is delicious. It's always busy in here so finding a seat can be difficult at times. Staff is way better than they were before which makes the experience great.

Clara Boyd

Goods drinks and atmosphere

Jovanna Rodney

Great customer service, and drinks are delicious!

Heather Hamilton

Loved the iced raspberry green tea

gail parton

Service

Jeff Lebowski

Very nice atmosphere and espresso is great. My wife and I have had around 6 acai bowls over a few months hoping they would get it 100% right at one point but they still need improvement. It's simple: stop making your acai puree so thick and full of massive frozen chunks... Take some extra time and effort to perfect a cool, smooth, delicate puree not a frozen mind numbing chunk of ice. We'll be in next week to try again...fingers crossed. All else is great about this friendly little cafe!

Kj Brey

Perhaps acai bowl instead? Don't get poke here. Get sushi instead. Or Go to Westcoast Poké. Your reviews have customers telling you they are disappointed with your Poke & you're not interested in change in your replies.

Kimberley Campos

best cold press juice ever!! it's fresh and gives you that extra boost for the rest of the day

Sukhpreet Singh

A wonderful café in White Rock. Great ambience and the coffee is really good. I love the food options they have, super healthy but very delicious. I recently tried one of the Acai Bows for the first time and it was absolutely delicious. Maybe a few more baked good options as well as vegan options would be helpful.

Lynnette Mohr

Lovely local cafe and often they have music on evenings or Saturday afternoons.

Eduardo delavega

Great food and coffee ❤❤

Nico Salvati

Cool vibe. Good quality coffee. Friendly service

Joseph Alexander Brown

Always amazing breakfast sandwiches and great selection of teas and coffees.

Nikki Siu

Cute place to grab a smoothie.

Chris Schlichter

Awesome coffee shop

Ahmed Khan

Amazing Coffee combined with a great service gives an easy 5 stars! Well Done!

Jaeger Mah

Happy to see they offer ceramic cups and they are using more biodegradable products. Was disappointed to see their 24th Ave store only offering to-go cups. Keep up the good work! You can’t use the ‘island’ mantra with out looking out for Mother Nature.

Haeun Park

Overpriced food with the rudest service. I've been here three times because it is close to my children's school, but will never go back because serving me seems like such an inconvenience to them. Extremely condescending. They get two stars because my kids like their desserts.

April Dias

The best acai bowl

Ben Moreno

relaxed atmosphere, pretty place, Customer oriented cashiers and baristas, great coffee and plenty of pastries and cookies, reasonable prices, plenty of 2 hours free parking in the area.

Ivan Sierralta

Great coffee!

Nicholas Brown

Best poke bowls you can find! Highly recommended

Nico A

Meal type

Overpriced and strange ratios

Stephen Nichols

Great service with a great atmosphere! Often my first coffee of the day. ????

姜素恩

Very rude cashier

Leticia Smalley

Excellent food, service, atmosphere, ambiance.

melanie gervais

Delicious espresso and coffee but can be a bit of a wait

Fred Casey

Nice place

Suzanne Babcock

Husband grew up in South Surrey/White Rock and was absolutely thrilled with a Hawaiian themed café being in the area. The poke bowl with avocado was fantastic, albeit very, very salty - granted, we were there at 3:30pm on a Sunday, so the tuna in the lower part of the storage bowl was probably marinating all day in the strong shoyu base. Our own fault for getting there so late in the day. The flavours were still great though, reminded me of our past vacations to Maui. :) Will definitely be back another day, hopefully earlier lol. Excellent service, by the way. Also, I agree with a previous poster - many poke places in Vancouver but they just don't get it right. Don't try the trendy 'fusion' approach that so many other places take; I'm sure more people appreciate the authentic recipes more. At least this person does. Keep up with what you've been doing! :) Mahalo!

Kathleen Angell

Excellent service and food

Pav Manchanda

The best coffee. Nice place to stop in for a breakfast. Acai bowls make for a nice breakfast.

Kai Chu

Average to good coffee and barristea drinks with a Hawaiian twist and locally owned, preferred over Starbucks.

Ahnika Rose

Great place to perform, it’s a very unique café. They have great coffee that goes down very smooth and a wonderful ambience. I would recommend this to anybody in White Rock looking for a comfy place to sit and listen to music!

Brent Anderson

Dig the aloha vibe. Love using the app to order ahead. Best breakfast Sammie’s around!

Norman Corminer

very friendly people

Jeff Gore

Looked inviting. Unfortunately we were unable to visit on our short stay. Will visit when we return in the spring.

Ana Cecilia Silva Mendes

Our family intended to have breakfast together, the order came in half, my daughter-in-law ate the sandwich worried about the two missing snacks, the coffee emptied and none of the snack and the family was totally bothered. I should not have given a tip to be treated so badly.

Char

Great Poke bowls and flat breads. Cute turtle design on lattes

ANN RLT

Been a couple of times, both times Poke and Acaii bowl were lovely, coffees too. But I also found the staff aloof and just not welcoming.

Brandon

Still to try the Poké bowls here, which I love, but for my first visit ...5 stars. Not just the unreal Açai bowl I had for breakfast, or the bold, perfect cup of Hawaiian grown coffee, but the atmosphere as well. Really has a stylish, island feel. Definitely reminds me of Hawaii.

charles dietrich

Best place in Whiterock for coffee and food!!

Kiri Glen

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The breakfast sandwiches are tasty and a great start to the day. ! Happy to see the new location, love the island vibe????

Matt Bryson

If you need a place that has amazing coffee, acai bowls and more you should check it out. Great vibe and friendly staff. It's my new cafe

Helen Darbyshire

Still the best coffee in town. Great lively atmosphere.

Mack Blanda

Islands Cafe has been my favorite place for an Açai bowl and their signature smoothies. Such a great vibe, I'm always looking forward to the next time I stop by!

Colin McBride

Great neighborhood coffee shop. Lots of seating inside and out.

jenni trumpet

Great and clean!

Ramona G

Cute boho cafe with friendly staff, and onolicious coffee and food!

Mister Honesty

Nice people

Nancy Yeh

good study cafe with nice vibes and well designed interiors, matcha is a bit on the expensive side tho, and wished the store hours was longer

Blake McNamara

One of my favourite cafes

Annika Knight

LOVE this cafe. The food & drinks are incredible - the staff is so friendly & I always feel welcomed when I come in.

Lisa Pfnuer

Delicious coffee, fantastic atmosphere, great staff! I took my friend and my mum here and we enjoyed the coffee and acai bowl! The coffee is fantastic.

Stephanie Lee

Island cafe is all about community & it shows!!

Olivia Poquiz

love it here

Sandra Mcafee

If you've never been to a cafe in Hawaii then this is a good place to go to get some islands food and charm. They're Poke is delish!!

Neyko Dimov

Great place great coffee

Karen Burghall

Excellent lattes and delicious fresh sandwiches. Great local spot to hang out and meet friends!

Sara Carlyle

Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. Gorgeous cozy atmosphere. I love how it’s Hawaii themed! The food is to die for. Healthy options, just love it! Not overpriced.

Mikeila Biddle

The coffees and smoothies are decent, but I went for the Poke bowl today and what a disappointment! Literally nothing more than a bit of overly spicy tuna with way too much onion on rice. I don't know if this is how it's always been or if it used to be better and the sort of bowl with fish, veg and rice you see at other places but either way it's not worth it at all.

Brendan

The poke bowls are amazing. I've tried poke from most of the top shops on the big Island and Oahu, and this competes with the best of them. If you can't fly to Hawaii for the afternoon, drop by this place. It looks like they are one of the first shops in Vancouver to serve poke. I'm glad they are so close.

R. Castro

This place is amazing. The girls that work here are so sweet. The cinnamon bun is to die for!

dunamisprojects

Have to love the Hawaiian theme menu and atmosphere.

harinder Khela

Always the go to spot when in white rock. Amazing service and cosy place to enjoy your favorite drink

Vicki Starfire

I dropped by to get a latte thinking Friday afternoon would be quiet in this cafe. It was full! Hardly a seat vacant. It seems this place is where the locals hang out and go for meetings. The food is wholesome but not so unusual. The surfing videos are great! Check it out.

Aoife Tracey

Love this place, both locations are nice and cozy. Staff is super friendly and welcoming! They offer something really unique to the white rock/south Surrey community.

Lauren Coles

I loved my visit to Islands Cafe! Such a nice atmosphere, fabulous staff, and AMAZING coffee and food. Definitely go check them out for the authentic Hawaiian poke! Tastes just like the stuff I had at Foodland in Maui!

Lyn Hoopes

Amazing products great service and prices highly recommend!!

Ellen Petersson

Hello everyone...the brand new Islands Cafe is amazing!! The staff are so friendly and their food and drinks are super tasty! Especially the Açai bowl ...it’s simply out of this world...definitely a favourite...as a take out or to enjoy while there. I love the decor and ambiance...the custom made tables and frames give so much charm...well done!! I look forward to your official grand opening!

Manish Toofany

Service runs slower than island time

Carmen Nelson

This place is really cute and the drinks were good. But holy smokes the barista who took my friend and I's order couldn't have been any more rude and aggressive! I've never felt that uncomfortable ordering food before. When our order was ready it was called out in a way that my friend and I should have been already full-out sprinting towards it. I don't know what we just experienced but sure as all heck wasn't "aloha".

Dave Clark

A touch Spartan, coffee was hot.

Teresanna Rehaluk

Great Staff! Great Food and Coffee

David Johnston

Amazing place. Great food. Açai bowl is the best dish in my opinion.

J A

Good café, however some of the offerings are expensive for what you get.

Hennessey Welch

Great coffee and great Poke Bowls!

Spencer Lauren

It took like 2 mins for the 3 working staff members to acknowledge us standing at the cash register, fish was very fishy tasting... They gave us our poke bowls to-go with no bag and it was literally burning my hands.... Our poke bowl looked nothing like the photos on Instagram.. I was Very disappointed but I really want to like this place, so I will give it another go in a few weeks and hope for a much better experience.

Riley Woodcock

Coffee is delicious. But dont expect the ladies there to make you a consistent latte. Don't be afraid to ask for a do over, because they need to learn to make them the same everytime

Danielle Luesink

Just like going back to Hawaii! Thier coffee is amazing! Fresh from Hawaii!

George W

I love the vibe here. The drinks are also excellent

A B

Great coffee and local vibe.

Bryson Worden

The atmosphere is second to none, providing a cozy yet professional environment good for activities ranging from a meeting with potential clients to a day out with friends! The coffee is hand crafted and made with care, both hot and cold beverages done to absolute perfection! Be sure to give this a look if you're in the area!

Gisz L

Great location, safe, open bright appearances. Plenty of tables outside and inside. Excellent service and fabulous tasting coffee. Also, they have an app with loyalty points and pre-order. Plenty of parking available.

James Steele

It has good coffee.

steve preddy

A good buddy just brought me one of your Acai Breakfast Bowls. Out. Of. Sight!

Kyle Tsai

Dine in

Sarah Mulford

This place is great! Lots of room to sit and enjoy your coffee and get some work done. The coffee takes a little bit longer to make then most shops but it is well worth the wait and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Karen Sam

Had a great experience at Islands Cafe! We are so happy something unique has come to White Rock. The baked goods and Hawaiian Coffee were soo good, and even better was the Acai Bowl. Great portion sizes. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. This is our new spot! #happy

C- Mae

Where the locals hang ✌️

Marquisa Zrymiak

Always a great vibe and delicious food! Super accommodating, and lots of healthy options :)

Fiona Bratvold

Excellent coffee, poke and acai bowls, muffins, etc. Great ambiance, outside seating

Colleen M.T. Sharpe

The most delicious breakfast sandwich anywhere ( with tomato and sprouts!). Gluten free and vegetarian options. Decor a soothing modern Hawaiian/surfer vibe in decor and music. Feel good, and chill out.

Tavia E

Cozy atmosphere with a great menu. The acai bowls, poke, and Hawaiian flatbreads are all delicious.

Hamza Tariq

Tried Açai bowl, it was delicious & frankly quite cheap compared to the prices at almost any other place

T Selk

Great food

Carlye T

Great coffee and food. Palm tree latte is amazing!

Fujii “Truth Lover” Kunio

Clouded when I visited

Glenda Bowley

Great Java. nutritous food selection

Ryan Dunnison

This cafe has a nice cozy atmosphere and unlike most cafes in the area actually is open on Sundays. They have some good food but the service can be very slow and the coffee has a tendency to be too hot. Milk is over steamed and over mixed resulting in a more classic cappuccino foam for all drinks rather than a sweeter more sought after latte foam you see around the city.

Kristin Dorey

Islands Cafe is on trend with their poke and acai bowls. Both are priced fairly, and are a fairly large serving size. They also have a wide espresso beverage menu that includes some Hawaiian themed originals. They also have an assortment of teas, and wide selection of non caffeinated options.

Alanna de la Vega

Routinely before I have a sit down study session at home, I make it a point to walk down here for a coffee/tea latte. Super motivating and refreshing! Their stuff is fresh, comfortable space, great vibes and kind staff. I do wish they required customers to wear masks though; I often feel like the only one wearing one in the café and sometimes I decide to go home since too many people are not wearing masks or social distancing. Other than that, this place is fantastic.

NeoCJay Carlos Junior

Awesome place. Great service. Tasty Latte.

Madison Grimshaw

islands cafe is great for sitting and doing homework, with nice views, or just getting a coffee when out for a walk! the love there açai bowls:) the employees are quite slow so you have to use your patience when waiting for your order.. my mom and i like to joke they are on island time lol

Wasabi Soy sauce

Lovely coffee shop! The view is great love their coffee and pasty!

Rene McLaren

big cups nice atmosphere - heat too high and a lil pricey. free wifi and outlets. thumbs up

Deanna Bittern

One of my most visited spots , the employees are very welcoming, and they get to know you by name , it feels very personal to get that greeting when I visit , there food options are great , I recommend the big island , it's one of my favorites , the atmosphere in there is just like its name.

Emily Mason

I tried the North Shore Acai Bowl for the first time and it definitely tastes as good as it looks! It came exactly as advertised: topped with granola, coconut, honey, sliced bananas and strawberries. The staff were kind and welcoming to me and each customer that came in after. I will be back!

jay borg

Drinks are great

Jack Peters

Islands has a nice friendly atmosphere, when coming though the front door. Fresh coffee aroma and the chatter of the local clientele. Always busy every time I go in. Great location near the White Rock clock tower, so the Hawaiian Islands experience, is easy to find. Thanks.

David J

I have had 3 different so specialty coffees here all just tasted of over roasted (burnt) coffee.

Robert Warren

The best people and best atmosphere. Highly recommended!!!

Graham Smith

Great place to study, lots of friendly clientele, high quality food and drinks.

Andrew Gooch

Had the large Acai bowl and a small Americano. Very filling probably could have ordered the small. Coffee I good have had better but no complaints.

Donna Marie

One of the best Coffee Shops in White Rock and the Whole of the Peninsula area. They are the only local Roaster and support an all inclusive patronage... ie: No Vaccine required ???????????????????? And if all of that wasn't enough for you their coffee is amazing....seriously...smells amazing too! ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕

Sean Crockett

Quaint, beautiful store with great service and delicious coffee

Jessy Singh

The best coffee ever! They have gluten free breakfast sandwiches as well.

Great vibes!

Beverly Minemoto

Friendly staff and great coffee. I had the salted caramel latte ...yummmm! My guy had their Ukulele coffee and he found it very good. We shared the refreshing, tasty and fruity Acai Bowl. We bought the Ukulele coffee beans to be able to enjoy ourselves. Next time we are out for a ride and head into Whiterock, we are planning on sampling their sandwiches or flatbread. Thank you to all the staff for the friendly smiles!

Graham Robins (GB)

Cutest little cafe! If I said I didn't dream about the acai bowl every night I would be lying!

Mike Dares

Fantastic staff, wonderful food and the best coffee in town!

Sabrina

Palm tree latte is great

Aleksander Tsvetkov

My Hope's were high, like their prices.

Bianca Tejada

Clean and spacious space, great for those who work on their laptop like myself (there’s plenty of sockets for charging) and the employees are always going around making sure all areas are tidy. I quite enjoyed their açaí bowl.

Phoenix Heart

It's a hidden gem place in white rock !! Great kona coffee with excellent choices breakfast of bowls and healthy smoothies

Tim Hayden

Cafe was not busy during my visit, 4 people behind the counter and it still took 5 mins to acknowledge me standing at the till. Coffee was decent. Dirty table beside me sat uncleaned for my entire 30 minute stay. Probably a great place to meet your highschool friends and hangout but grown ups better served elsewhere.

Ryan Wong

Great coffee and friendly staff! Have had their whole beans before but this was my first time in the shop while on a visit out to White Rock. Love the vibe of the shop too!

Stephanie Needham

Very good smoothie bowls!

Daniel Loney

Great place all around. Staff is nice, they do a great pull if espresso and the atmosphere is great for small meetings.

Joanna Alexander

Such a nice escape from the rainy days in Van and feel like you're relaxing in Hawaii!! The food quality is amazing and I love that they have healthy and local ingredients. Both locations are a great spot to get a coffee and chill out!

M S

Awesome home made sweet bites

Andrea Tuttle

Both healthy and indulgent options for food and drink. Addictive!

Don Watson

Friendly place with unique food. Variety of food choices is slim, but what they do have is really good. Had turkey sandwich, acai bowl, and an incredible cinnamon bun.

Maia Glen

10/10 Would recommend! Great coffee and even greater staff:) Thanks Jay and Robb for bringing a bit of paradise to White Rock!!

S. L. Thompson

The Fresh Poke Bowls are excellent! Great coffee too! Warm and friendly staff with a great atmosphere. Da grinds here are No Ka Oi!

Michael P

Nice place. Good coffee. Friendly staff. Only 3 stars on account that they tend to play music way too loud. Instead of relaxing with my coffee I need to use ear plugs. I asked the staff plenty of time to turn the music down. They never listen.

Demelza Thompson

One of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. (The vegan chocolate cookies are delicious too) Mahalo Islands Cafe!

Frank D

Just ok. Coffee doesn't always seem very fresh or hot. I think it's a bit pricey compared to Laura's at 5 corners.

Sarah Hasan

Just went there this morning with my mum. The manager was very rude and seem to only care about price difference in sizes despite us purchasing various things. It brought a damper into our day and it was my mum's first time experience. Safe to say we will never go there again or reccommend it to friends. Cute cafe, poor customer service.

Mallick Chaudhry

Really good London fog and don't miss out on the poke bowl!! Awesome

Ravena Dhaliwal

Customer service wasn’t the best

Tigro delNorte

Really good coffee and breakfast sandwiches before 9 AM Patio seating and parking as well

golden freddy

Great coffee and sandwiches

Brooke Addison

Love this place. Super cozy and fun to bring friends. The lattes are amazing and their food is even better. Açaí bowls and flatbreads are always a must to get. If you haven’t been here , your missing out.

Ken Longworth

Great little Cafe

Julia Polanco

I really liked this place, the atmosphere is nice and the food is delicious. The prices are a little high but I still recommend it.

Tom Haworth

Good service good coffee- a bit noisy at times -

Emma H

The vibes and the açai bowls are amazing!!

Kush Chatterjee

Amazing service

Jay Prahalad

A bit of a sad experience.... The only place in the area open on a Sunday.. Was a real swing and a miss. Nothing tasted good.. Chai latte too sweet and not warm enough.

Margaret C

The herbal tea and the ginger cookie were super tasty!!! I love this little gem right next to Whiterock Beach. A must-try for anyone who interested in their coffees/teas/pastries.

Thomas Draws

Delicious drinks, nice staff and a friendly ambiance that's great for studying or chatting with someone. Will definitely be coming back again

Ross Creasy

(Translated) It was a good cafe (Original) 좋은 카페였다

Cris Tacos Clemas

Very friendly staff and quite a great team. Delicious healthy foods and wonderful drinks. 10/10 would bang.

Yoshi Yellow

Great homemade carrott cake! Latte was good as well . Nice place to sit and hang out, friendly people.

Kristan D.

I really want to like this place since I love the coffee, but I always have to wait over 15-20 minutes for my food order while the staff are busy talking and on their phones. I unfortunately won’t be going back.

Great coffee and atmosphere

pj r

Decided to check out this coffee shop for the first time 2 weeks ago since my hubby & I are big fans of Hawaiian coffee. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the best first impression. The coffee tasted very watered down and I have my coffee black so I know. However, we liked that they sold vegan and gluten free pastries. We decided to share a vg & gf chocolate oat bar and it wasn’t too bad. Hopefully, if we decide to give this place another chance we will have a better experience with the coffee.

A. Phillips

Fantastic coffee!

Andrew Csonka

I come a good long way out of my way to try their poke. Three times. I've even called ahead before to make sure they have it. Ever single time I get there, they are out. The excuse: it's a popular item and we only make so much of it ever day. Well then, if you keep running out, shouldn't you make more? I've heard this place is really good but it's hard to like wasting gas and eating air. Don't go out of your way to come here since they can't get their supply right.

Gary Wegener

Acai bowl is my favourite breakfast.

Servant Kingdom

Good vibes and nice setting. But I ordered a flat white, they made it more like a latte.

carlos lapena

Hawaiian coffee and specialty appies

Dawn Haider

Good coffee. Nice fresh baked goods. Friendly local environment.

Jessie Richard

Love the vibe & great Flatbread/ lattes

Jason Wedel

Great food and awesome coffee.

A H

Friendly staff, great coffee, and AWESOME food options! Very well priced too. I absolutely recommend this spot for easy and chill coffee time. Thank you to the staff for always being so kind and helpful!

Ryan Briggs

Coffee was good. Atmosphere is funky. However; digging a six inch long hair out of my Lemon Bar was an unwelcome and disgusting surprise. Will never go back!

Charis Klaudt

The best place to grab coffee and a breakfast. I'm from out of town but stayed in White Rock during the summer, and still cannot find a cafe like this in my city. The espresso beans and acai bowls are equally delicious, and the atmosphere is amazing. Such an island/tropical vibe with the music, decor, and open doors allowing fresh air in. The staff were also friendly and hard-working. I recommended this place to everyone I came across during my stay.

Alissa Yargeau

Such an awesome place ! Amazing coffee and food as well as super friendly staff :)

Sharon Stodel

I use the mobile app to order. Takes 10 minutes to get to the Johnson street location. My order wasn’t ready when I arrived. The staff were more interested in talking to each other than working. When asked about my order I was advised there were issues with the app. Yet the cup with my drink order was beside the coffee machine...I was advised they were behind as someone had called in sick...as a customer that isn’t my problem yet it had become the excuse...I mentioned I placed the order ten minutes prior...again I was advised someone had called in sick yet the person who arrived just before me wasn’t asked to wait, their order was processed. I was asked to wait ten minutes for mine and asked if that was ok. There is a reason I use the app...no I advised it wasn’t ok. I asked for my $12 back. To which I was advised they couldn’t do refunds on the app. I was advised they would write a note advising of the situation so my next order would be free...how fantastic when I always order through the app...as the $12 was lost to me anyways I advised them to keep the money as I didn’t have the time to wait and left. Bottom line my order wasn’t put in the line to be processed it had simply been ignored to serve those customers in front of them...lying about the app not working yet the evidence it was right in front of me shows lack of integrity...not able to do refunds on the app, why have one then...I appreciate fully an engaging workplace yet when working admittedly short staffed focus more on your customers and not on what you did last night...

CeeEs4

finally found a place close to home with a delicious Acai bowl! and the girls working here Re really friendly and actually seem like they care about the product they are serving

Hugh Macdonald

Great COFFEE

Ashley Syer

We ordered a coffee, a smoothie, and two bagels. From the time we ordered until we got our food was just over 45 minutes. My latte was so hot I burned my mouth. Definitely not worth the wait.

Cheyenne Christopherson

Slowest service I've ever seen! Waited 40 minutes for a poke bowl after being told that it would take 5 minutes. When I asked about it after 30 minutes of waiting the girl at the counter was incredibly rude to me and basically said to just screw off. Don't come here unless you have a lot of extra time on your hands!

Lee Ann Sharp

Love this place! The best açai bowls I have ever had. The staff is friendly and the place is super clean.

Sam Nugent

Staff is very friendly, love the atmosphere and the drinks are wonderful

Jessica R.

I purchased the "big islands" smoothie and oat breakfast bar. Both tasted amazing. The smoothie was perfect compliment to the oat bar and neither were too sweet. Support this local Cafe !

Brian Cooper

Good atmosphere, good coffee, friendly staff.

Jeff's Opinions/Reviews

Found the people working here to be pretty rude when they forgot about my drink that I ordered I politely asked and the lady just glared at me like I had done something wrong. I'm not a local I'm just an out-of-towner but I would not recommend this place.

Garrett Schnitzler

The Islands Cafe is a great place to stop in for a coffee and a bite to eat. The coffee here is excellent and the food is up to par as well. I found the marinade in the poke bowl to be a bit too salty but I still really enjoyed it. Great small business alternative to big chain coffee stores!

Ryan Greer

Great coffee, friendly staff, great place!

C

Disgusting tasteless drinks, staff should look a little happier to do there job

Jason Laue

Terrible Terrible Service. Nothing was prepared. We came in and they said it would be 10-15 for an Acai bowl. We ended up waiting 50 minutes to get an Acai bowl, however that never happened. Their blender broke and never told us as we sat there waiting for our Acai bowl. They never told their 3 customers who were waiting almost an hour, instead we overheard them talking about amongst themselves. Meanwhile 2 couples walked out because their food never came either. Pathetic service.

Tasnim Shahubi

I love your Acai bowl it’s amaaazing!

Irena K

I expected more from this place and was disappointed with the food. I ordered matcha late (had to pay extra for a non-dairy milk) and poke bowl, which was simply 1.5cup of rice and marinated tuna with ginger and onion (no veggies included and had to pay extra for half of an avocado) and my boyfriend got a latte and veggie dakine. I cannot say that food was terrible but, for the price, it wasn't great ether. My bf and I kept talking about what we would change in our meals. Probably I wouldn't go there next time, there are plenty of other great placed in the area for a better price.

Michelle Haddad

Amazing place! Loved the ambiance and people :) can't wait to go back for more!

Patrick Bolger

Best Kona coffee!!!!

Zandrika James

Good service. Laid atmosphere

Selina

Very friendly staff at this location & always fast service. I normally do mobile ordering 5-10 minutes before I arrive and it’s almost always ready when I get there! Smoothies/pastries are amazing, and I have heard the flatbread is phenomenal! Highly recommend this cafe!

P

Friendly staff, excellent location and relaxed decor. They have a breakfast sandwich combo that is very decent value.

Glen Wood

Great breakfast and delicious coffee. Will be back for sure.

Kaelynn Ball

I feel guilty with this review because I wanted so so badly to love this place. But I don't. Love the owners and the style, but I am consistently disappointed by food, service, and price. I've had the wrong order, a bad order, or just something gross and watered down too many times to count. Great location and idea but it just needs some higher quality staff who are maybe a little more confident and comfortable with food and drink prep. For the prices I would expect each order to be prepared quickly, efficiently and properly.

James Brown

Such friendly staff, very acomidating, good atmosphere.

Ralf Schroeder

The woman that served me was not personal very clinical no smile?

Kamal A.

Really good coffee blends!

Colleen Sage

Honestly this is for the new location in Grandview corners. I ordered a drink and a treat and stood there waiting no line no one was coming in for 15 minutes. It was I between my clients so I had 20 minute break. It was a waste of time and when I finally had my food it was bland and my drink tasted like water. Won’t be back.

Hot Chrome

The poke bowl isn't the typical or traditional poke bowl you would find downtown or Hawaii for that matter. It's super salty and saucy with a side of white rice. The staff seems overwhelmed with how busy the coffee shop is, and not so welcoming.

Mercedez Allen

Such a fun vibe! Everything on the menu, both their signature drinks, food, baked goods, and smoothies! Great selection of both vegan and regular food ! I had the salted Carmel iced latte and açai bowl!

joe Zucchet

Great coffee ????

M Z

Came in a Sunday morning. Great coffee, lively place. Busy and a bit of wait to get the coffee. Nice setting, cool vibe. Stool style seating, they have a few couches in the back as well. Wife tried a breakfast bagel on everything and enjoyed it.

dana gill

Hawaiian inspired coffee place.

Andy M

I like this place but at times it gets a little too busy which can change the ambience from chill to stressful. That being said, the staff are nice and the coffee is good!

Harvinder Bains

Love the vibe

beyblade pro

Awesome place

Leah Lopes

Amazing Poke and Acaį bowls! Coffee is decent but definitely try the bowls, they're the real showstoppers. So tasty! Nice atmosphere.

Murat Madazli

I love it there

harj j

One of my go to places for good Hawaii coffee and acai bowls!

Carlos Polanco

(Translated) Mainly Hawaiian coffee, I personally feel that the environment and coffee are very hard to operate! (Original) 主打夏威夷咖啡，我個人覺得環境與咖啡都很用心經營！

Lawrence K

Good set-up and great location. Price are high for what it is on most food items, don't expect much from the poke over priced for sure for what it is. Breakfast sandwiches are really good with a decent price on them. If you are ordering food or drinks be prepared to wait, they take forever to get your order to you mostly due to the staff chatting with each other and not really caring too much about the customers.

Chris Schneider

Great coffer

Aman Kullar

I love this cafe! A wide variety of beverages and food items. The espresso is delicious. The pricing is very reasonable for an independent cafe.

Bill Ju

Rude staffs

Beth Mulligan

We had a Hawaiian flat bread and a nanaimo bar. Good food, friendly service. A little higher priced but ok for a cafe.

Jim Heuving

Cafe with SUPs. How can you not love?

Mae Uno

I visited this location several days ago and left feeling dissatisfied and slightly disrespected. First, the cafe was extremely busy. Meaning, no covid guidelines were being enforced. Not a single person in the store was wearing a mask, including the workers and there was no social distancing being practiced at all. An establishment being this lenient during a pandemic is just so ignorant and irresponsible. Second, I was constantly being disregarded by the workers. They would ignore me trying to get their attention, break eye contact to avoid me, then to go service other customers instead. Lastly, when I received my drink, I wasn't given a lid, a straw, or any milk in my drink (which is supposed to come with the drink). But when I saw the customer behind me, she was given all of the above and was served with a smile even though we had ordered the same exact drink. I'm not sure what the issue was or why my experience was so awful, but I have a feeling it was because I was the only POC in the cafe filled with white people, including the workers. I felt a twinge of discrimination as all the non-POCs were being treated with such good customer service while there was such a blatant contrast in how I was being treated.

Huang ELI

Service

Christian Dubois

Great food with a feel good healthy choice. Coffee is also very good. The place makes you want to stay and chat. Better than the large coffee chains for sure!

Julie M

Love White Rock and so glad Island Cafe is open with their amazing roast of island coffee, mahalo

Jenn L

Buy a bathroom door lock instead of just putting a post it with odd locking instructions. Staff cant make change. Stopped the dishwasher mid cycle to pull out the scoops to make my poke - the girl who pulled them out said to the other girl 'just rinse them' Odd shop, slow staff (even for a new cafe) If you want to checkout how they handle negative feedback check out the review thread on facebook. Since posting my 1 star review I have recieved nasty comments, name calling and VERY rude private messages from people claiming to be associated with this cafe. All they needed to do was simply post 'hey we are sorry thanks for the feedback' or sent a private message but instead they carried on,allowed the staff member to post and even had someone claiming to be one of the owners parents send messages and write posts on the thread. Aside from the garbage customer service in my opinion the poke is slimy, over sauced and gross. Save yourself the trip and hassel of trying to find parking you wont be missing anything.

Suzanne Schmidt

Nice atmosphere and the girls were great with my daughter who is 4

Tammy Benoit

Awesome food and great coffee. Just wish they would add blended iced coffees to their menu.

Jack MacKay

Very nice place. Good coffee.

Paul C

The açai bowls are to die for, it’s worth it for that alone. The hot chocolate was a little watered down but it’s not that bad, breakfast sandwich is really good too. Best açai bowl south of the Fraser River.

RATING: 0 This USED to be my "go to" coffee shop but NO MORE. Here's why... I was sitting at a table by myself, working on my laptop. After about 1.5 hours an employee came and sprayed bleach at my table while I was sitting there - just under the ceiling fan. I had no warning. I immediately felt sick and asked her to stop. She told me to get used to it bc I would have to deal with it wherever I go now. She kept spraying. I went into a full asthma attack and ended up in Emergency twice. They also told me to put on a mask or get out bc I was alarming other customers. I asked to speak to the owner. The girl gave me a card and when I called the number, it was to the cafe I was sitting in. The girls started laughing. I asked if they thought this was funny and she told me that they weren't laughing at me - they were just laughing at the ridiculousness of the situation. I emailed the owner but I have heard nothing back. I understand sanitation procedures have increased, but spraying bleach right in front of someone is unacceptable. It is chemical assault which has led to chemical injury. I am still very I'll at this time, and have been left with a vocal cord injury to the point of not being able to use my voice. I am seeking legal action at this time. At no time did any of the staff show any regard for what I was going through. In fact, when I left, the short blond-haired girl told me to never come back. On another note, when my bagel was served, it was not split on the line. Rather, it was cut to the point where the bottom half, of part the bagel, was just dried out crust. Further to this, a woman came in and sat at the table behind me. That left us about 2 feet apart - max. I had to ask the staff to socially distance her. They have to spray bleach, she said, or the cafe would be shut down. She wasn't at all concerned that their social distancing requirement was not being monitored. I'm appalled at the behaviour of the staff and the unwillingness of the owner to contact me. I felt targeted, disrespected, and bullied. I will add in discrimination as well as she did not spray any other table with people sitting there.

Morgan Kelly

Always the best service!!! I’ve enjoyed every time I’ve eaten here. I also drive for doordash and they are always prompt, kind, and courteous to me as a driver.

Darren Mangnall

Internet WiFi does not work

Ashley Goddyn

Reminds me of being back in Maui. Love the vibe. Fresh, Hawaii and not too loud making it an efficient place for business meetings.

John Beggs

Cute Hawaiian atmosphere. They have good lattes and goodies which was different from those typical coffee franchises!

Cem Sezer

Really great cafe. The atmosphere is great and the staff are really friendly. It truly represents the spirit of white rock. The food is also quite good. I really enjoy their tea.

M May

Amazing food & coffee

Jason Livingston

Finally a poke bowl that is just like the Hawaii ones. I couldn't believe it, and in White Rock! I will be making the trip from Burnaby when ever I can. The entire meal was delicious and the staff was super friendly. Good atmosphere for some live music??

Paul Chang

STAY AWAY FROM THEIR POKE BOWLS!! 5 small pieces of tuna over rice is all it is...

Rex Kuhn

There is nothing good than acai & poke bowls of Islands Cafe. relaxed atmosphere, pretty place,Friendly staff.

Daniel Smith

Great little independent coffee shop. Only deals in Hawaiian coffees. Friendly service and popular with locals.

Rachel Rogers

Fresh and high quality ingredients! Feels like you're in Hawaii and sitting in a local beach side cafe! This place is a must visit when in the White Rock and South Surrey area!

vivienne fernandes

Love their Acai fruit bowls.

J. Dhillon

I love the white rock location as a work space and come here a lot. Great coffee, food and atmosphere. I spend a lot of money here and bring friends here. The negative review comes from months of me coming here and observing the exceptional customer service EXCEPT for coloured folks. Please educate your staff. Please ask them to change their attitude and expose them to different cultures. Its disgusting watching their demeanour change. I do not know her name but she is there all the time.. petite girl very long blonde hair. Please help her. She might get away with it in a predominantly white community but please don’t make her the face of your otherwise amazing cafe.

Favorite coffee shop because the peeps That work there are all willing to stop and just talk. This is needed these days. A little bit of seating is nice.

Danielle

Their açaí bowl is unbelievable!!! As well as iced coffee with coconut syrup - to die for!

Curtis White

This new hidden gem in White Rock is not gonna be a secret for long! Amazing, authentic Hawaiian style food and drinks. Fantastic service and staff. And a super authentic aloha vibe. Can't get enough of this place!

Mary Thompson

Hands down the best acai bowl outside of Oahu :):) <3

Nicson Reid

Service was good

Bill McGowan

Great coffee great service

Maya Clarke

So happy to find this cute little friendly place with great service. Going back for an acai breakfast bowl tomorrow & a Hawaiian Poke bowl soon.

Alex I

I like the concept, design. Poke bowls were pretty lacklustre given the price and other comparables elsewhere in the lower mainland. Not sure why they wouldn't remove the skin off the avocado, given that it's an add-on. Likewise for the kiwi in the acai bowls.

David Townsend

I always LOVE THE ISLAND.. The community atmosphere..great food..dogs sharing milkbones...and Maui Hawaii Coffee... woohoo

Janet B

The cafe needs to do some work on social distance set up. Unfortunately you can’t see from the outside how many people are in the store. Today there were at least 6 people inside and it was hard to maneuver around customers due to store layout. Staff was very friendly. Coffee though was totally tasteless. Unfortunately don’t think we will return.

Laura Ashton

Great Kona Coffee

Vanessa Dreger

Friendly staff and amazing coffee. They have Hawaiian coffee, so it is not your typical coffee shop. A bit pricier than Starbucks, but was worth it. Nice atmosphere, and very clean.

Adam Raz

I was at the cafe the other day ordering a hot coco and a sandwich to go but unfortunately I encountered a very rude and disrespectful staff member at the cash register, she payed no attention to me for awhile and tended other people who ordered after me. Food was good though. Might want to reevaluate your staff.

Esperanza Reeb

Lovely little place

Joanne West

Awesome coffee!

Sky Blue

Atmosphere was great. The coffee was horrible. Folders (yuck) would have tasted better. This is coming from a person that has previously lived in Hawaii. I know what to expect from a good cup of Hawaiian brew. In response to the establishment response. The coffee was expresso shots. Not sure how they could be brewed wrong. I watched them prepare.the shots. It was the coffee.

Julia Kim

Excellent coffee. Their baristas might take more time to make your coffee than your average Starbucks chain but I swear its worth every minute.

aveena gill

Cozy and beautiful
