“Absolutely delicious coffee, and the baked goods aren’t bad either.”

What customers say

This is a takeout-only coffee shop. I visited because I had heard the coffee was really good. The beans seem to lean more toward a nutty and rich flavor rather than acidity. They pair especially well with milk, and the long black also had a smooth, nutty taste.

My favourite place for açai bowls and great coffee! Conveniently set up with takeout counter which is great for early hikes and road trips. We have gone back 3+ times during our stay.

Very delicious espresso, arguably the best on island. It is on the more expensive side (I got a latte and a blueberry scone which came out to $16) the only bummer about this particular location is the parking and the limited hours of operation because as a local, I wouldn’t venture into Waikiki to get it but love that…

Some of the best coffee we had in Oahu. Went back twice it was that good. Nice to go to the roastery (right up the street from Leonard’s) and the store on across from the beach. Excellent coffees
