2 Best Restaurants in Chinatown, Honolulu and Pearl Harbor

The specialties at this coffee spot are cold brew drinks and "Coff-tails," cold brew shaken with a mixture of milks, creams, and flavors. It's not just the drinks made with coffee roasted in-house that are yummy here: the café serves pastries and cold breakfast items like the Lomi Salmon Bagel, and toasted sandwiches, flatbreads, and salads. The sit-down space is limited at this location, so you might grab and go while exploring the downtown and Chinatown areas. Alii Coffee has two other locations, one in Waikiki and one in Kakaako.

This is a great spot to stop for coffee and a light bite, including some breakfast items, salads, and sandwiches, before or after your explorations in Chinatown, downtown, and historic Honolulu. The coffee shop roasts its own beans and has a latte art "printer" that leaves detailed designs on your drink. A Local Joe West has also opened in Ewa Beach.
