★★★★★ 5.0 Yel Delos Reyes · Aug 2025

They sell bigger bags of coffee here! Both ground and roasted beans (which is harder to find in the grocery stores). They offer more flavors too and they even have it in Keurig pods. Worth the drive! A little over 15 minutes from Waikiki Beach. They have a mini museum about Lion coffee. They also serve coffees by the cup and pastries. They have quite a few tables and chairs so you can enjoy your coffee for dine-in. The coffee was okay though nothing special.

★★★★★ 5.0 Christopher Bell · Mar 2025

Only the best coffee in Hawaii! Lion Cafe has a cool, laid-back vibe as soon as you walk in, with a friendly and welcoming staff. The coffee is brewed to perfection, and I also ordered a slice of banana bread that was delicious. They also sell large bags of their coffee if you want to take some home. I truly have no complaints—absolutely recommend stopping by. Enjoy!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Jeff Mussro · Oct 2025

AMAZINGLY overpriced - and - poor service - and a salmon lox bagel is a build your own apparently (the salmon was questionable as well) - the laziness, cutting of corners + $1.50 for oat milk = this place is rigged for minimum service, effort at maximum prices. I can't believe I waisted a $43 Uber to come visit this place. AND - There's a TIP option to select at checkout. For what? Lastly, the bathrooms are terrible.

★★★★★ 5.0 Joel Nakai · Feb 2026

If you're in the neighborhood and are looking for a cup of Joe, this place is worth the stop. I love the retro industrial vibes of the coffee shop which has ample seating and a full menu of all their various flavors and roasts. (Its worth noting that I'm a person who enjoys experiences with local brands I grew up with) You'll find all their products available to purchase in store and if you fancy a tour, they offer them a few times a month.

Good coffee but the baristas are very unfriendly. A shame, because I like the company. Also, the Hawaiian music is top notch
