Reviews of Gorilla in the Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Ana Gomes

Very small place but very nice staff. It was the best espresso I had in a very long time.

Xiaojing Zhang

Great coffee and friendly staff!

We love it!!! The honey cinnamon latte I wish I could have every day. The dragonfruit bowl is DELICIOUS and light (I prefer the mango-pineapple flavor combo to the berry-acai but both are good) and the breakfast croissants, coffee were excellent. Service is 5 star and everything is freshly made. we'll be back!!

Anika Becker

I got the açaí bowl and didn’t think it was very good, definitely had much better.

Keith Trnka

Love this little shop. The coffee was good and the madelines were fantastic.

Good coffee in Maui.

You can not come to Honolulu and not visit the Gorilla! Its the best coffee shop in Honolulu The coffee is great and you can also enjoy a healthy breakfast!

Mark McDowell

Great acai bowls!

Ken Wong

Coffee was good. Service was friendly.

TheSadnman

I bought two americanos from this place and they were watery with absolutely no crema. Somehow more watery than most drip coffees. Whoever made them obviously doesn't know what they're doing.

A great little place with outside seating. Help very courteous, helpful and friendly. Excellent frappe and can make them with milk base instead of coffee for the non coffee folks. Had excellent hot ham and cheese on bagel and white frappe. Highly recommend for quick service and excellent food.

Joshua Lafleur

Refreshing acai bowl, decent espresso. Very limited seating. Staff are on Hawaiian time - expect a wait, and maybe forgetting your entire order, or making a mistake - but they are better than Starbucks.

Adam Ohashi

Espresso was kinda sour, but the outdoor seating and people watching in the shade and free wifi made this place worthwhile.

Gem Elle

The employees are always friendly. I had coffee and greem tea there but I hope to try out their food. I did not know that they even served food there! The seats are outside the cafe, so unfortunately it is not ideal when it rains or for people who want to use their laptops.

Thomas Tsang

Always a nice place to stop in and get a great double shot macchiato. The coffee and espresso always poured right. That and a bagel sandwhich for less than $10 together; a nice inexpensive way to start the day.

brede

love the acai bowl a bit sweeter than others but i love that 10/10 service and food

Levelle Braswell

Honestly, we had been trying to find good coffee in America for 3 weeks. Not just in Honolulu but in Washington, DC as well. I'm from the U.S but live in New Zealand where the coffee is 100 times better than American coffee. I went to get my wife who is a TRUE coffee drinker from New Zealand. She was finally relieved haha. To any Kiwi or Australian looking for a good coffee go to this place!!!!!

Margie Silich

Fantastic find for great coffee...so nice after many undrinkable cups

Anthony Hahn

Good coffee quick service and easy access in downtown honolulu

joe tannous

Great customer service and these guys are really trying hard to satisfy but sorry the coffee is way sub par for me I would easily recommend the Starbucks around the corner next to PF Chang as an alternative but if you wanna go for a frappe with a sweet taste just go for it here, nice location right in the middle of Waikiki shopping but coffee itself was watered down and exactly what I call restaurant coffee :( .

Jeremy

If you are from Melbourne this is the only place to have good coffee in Waikiki (and possibly the whole of the USA)

Stephen Abolakian

Best (Aussie style) cafe on island

Bonnie Ng

Finally a place in Hawaii where people understands coffee and opens late. Wished they serve local beans instead of a Sacramento brand. But you can get the Puna Big Island to go.

Everett Hollister

The only local coffee beans are for pour overs and they are old and stale. Thats why there is no roast date on the package. The espresso and drip coffee beans are from california but unfortunately also old and stale most of the time. The acai bowls have frozen fruit and are mixed with soy milk so the flavor is muted and dull. The staff is poorly trained to sanitize the food prep station and has no education on the products. The ownership/management is a joke. They do not know the first thing about running a business.

nick

The açai bowl was soooo good. It was our last one in Hawaii and I wish we discovered it sooner. Just googled to see if this place was franchised

Joe Madaffari

The best coffee in Waikiki.

Mel Bail

Really good and fresh coffee. Had the Americano.

김명서

Good to rest for tired foot.

Julie Haynes

Coffee took ages and I was the only one there. When it did arrive it was luke warm. Definitely not a good cafe.

Erika C.

Good coffee!

Tudor Chis

Get the honey cinnamon latte.

Roxana Martinez

Coffee tasted like watered down milk. Disgusting.

Yenfu Li

a unique place to try

John Garrett

Good coffee, though the service can be a little slow.

(Translated by Google) It was crowded early in the morning. Although there is no Japanese menu, the staff was able to order without difficulty because it communicates with gentle hand gesture very gently. We also used d points. Coffee is also good, but side menu was abundant and was very delicious. It is a perfect feeling shop to spend Hawaiian morning. (Original) 朝早くから賑わっていていました。日本語メニューはないですがスタッフがとても優しく身振り手振りでコミュニケーションしてくれるので難なく注文出来ました。あとdポイントも使えました。コーヒーも美味しいですが、サイドメニューも豊富でとても美味しかったです。ハワイの朝を過ごすにはぴったりの気持ちいいお店です。

Shaun Thompson

My fiance and I went here 2 years ago, and we still talk about this place all the time. I really wish they would start opening stores in the states. I really think they would give starbucks a run for their money.

My wife is the unofficial queen of frozen blended coffee thingies and i, her loyal support staff, concur with her placement of 5 stars for this monkey house. Usually I get a cappuccino but after sampling her frappe, i joined her and got my own frozen concoction. We both liked them so much, we repeated the same maneuver the next day. I imbibed in a baked treat that had macadamia nuts and pineapple in a slice of pound cake....me likey! I bought some of their coffee beans and i'm slowly working my way through them one cup at a time. Nice people with great product.

David Khugaev

Best coffee you ever going to drink in this island , stuff very friendly fast service , taste very good

(Translated by Google) Probably unrelated to gorilla coffee. It feels like a cafe that is neither good nor bad. (Original) ゴリラコーヒーとは恐らく無関係です。可もなく不可もないカフェといった感じ。

Zak Smith

Love this place. My wife says they have the best acai bowls on the south shore. The staff are all really nice. We go probably once a week. Fair warning, it's not the fastest shop. The staff take care when making your order, so it will take a few minutes, but if you're not in a rush it's definitely worth it.

Paige Book

best experience & friendly customer service ~~ mica (sorry for misspelling!) was so kind and prepared the most delicious coffees. Definitely recommend and will visit again if in the area! Thank you!!

Robert Angus

At least its better than Starbucks. My blended mocha was okay, not the best tasting but it was more on the string side than sweet side so that's good. Could have just been the way it was made or the beans they use. Nice selection of items, thought they had more items for breakfast. But it's not a very big place. I'd come back here and try more coffee if I was able to.

Sam zergum

swamped and out of everything. burnt coffee

Sarah Brown

Amazing acai bowl! Coffee is great and all food is very fresh!

rl ri

(Translated by Google) Taste good! Lol This was the first impression that I ate the Acai Bowl here. I will never eat here with jamba juice. Recently I have not crowded even if I go through so much (Original) 味うっすーい！笑 これがここのアサイーボウルを食べた第一印象でした。あえてこことジャンバジュースで食べることはないでしょう。最近はあんまり通っても賑わってないっすねー

Paula E

At last, good coffee. Hallelujah!

Matt J

Decent latte, best in this section of the strip

Melissa Serra

My new fav coffee place :)

Lucy Wyman

A lovely little cafe to stop by! I got their matcha latte which was delicious (if a little sweet), and loved the design of the place. It's a bit small if you're looking for somewhere to sit and enjoy your morning cup, but if you're on the go this is a great option with beautiful decor!

Reuben Buchanan

Pretty good coffee and I love the Aussie Bites!

Eric Burgess

This has one of my favorite cups of coffee on all of oahu (and ive been to all of your favorite coffee shops). the scone i got was too sweet even after i asked to make sure it wasnt. It was expensive too

Friendly staff

Great cafe for morning coffee and tea, with some really tasty & healthy food choices too...Really reasonable compared to other cafes, particularly in Waikiki..! Also, excellent customer service, especially Micah.

Stephen Shields

Quality coffee in Waikiki

Jake Kigyos

Michael Schaefer

Good coffee and the pitiya bowl was one of the better ones around.

Best acai bowl in waikiki

Alexandros Brownlee

Get the apple fritter warmed. Also buy the coffee caramel and support local businesses!

Marius Stăncescu-Popescu

Great espresso drinks, I had a delicious cortado here.

Yuki Hiromitsu

I enjoyed some drinks and light foods there! I'd love to go back there again!

Simon Smith

Wish I'd came here before scouring the strip for a decent coffee elsewhere!

Gwen Mannor

Watch out! Very over pruced!

Monica B

Yummy açai bowl and iced green tea! They have Wi-Fi if you ask for the password, outdoor seating only, and no bathroom. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and patient.

(Translated by Google) Bae Yong Joon Produce shop. You can have a pita ya bowl using dragon fruit rather than a common Acai bowl. Pita ya bowl is not too sweet, it seems to suit Japanese. Please taste it. The picture is Pitayaboul. There is no clerk who can use Japanese, can I get the pitaya-bowl? I can buy it. (Original) ペ・ヨンジュンプロデュースのお店。よくあるアサイボウルではなく、ドラゴンフルーツを使ったピタヤボウルがいただけます。 ピタヤボウルは甘過ぎず、日本人似合いそうな味。 ぜひ味わって見てください。写真がピタヤボウルです。 日本語使える店員さんはいませんが、 can I get the pitaya-bowl？ って言えば、買えます。

The BEST coffee in Waikiki from an Aussie tourist's opinion! I got (and recommend) a double shot flat white and it was perfect! The next time I forgot to add the double shot and it was still really good (But I recommend the double shot if you prefer a stronger coffee to milk taste ratio) the food was quality too, really fresh tasting - the pinaya + acai bowls + green smoothie are all really good.

Terry Doyle

Nice little cafe. But unfortunately the best coffee is across the road at Kai Coffee. My latte was ok, but my wife could drink her almond flat white.

Robert Smith

A nice little place, great customer service and good coffee - wifi is also provided. Recommended

Jusgo 360

Not the friendliest management.

Ron Olsen

Would give 5 stars, but construction going on. Not their fault. Super coffee, friendly staff.

Enrique P. Crisostomo

We enjoyed their selection prices & location.

Anjul

They didn't ask me how my day was...

Sam Flood

Good coffee and service, a little pricey even for Hawaii!

Damian Orchard

Best 7 dollar PB&J sandwich I ever ate.

Logan Houde

Iced coffee, acai bowl, and breakfast croissant was amazing.

Good coffee. Friendly staff. Coffee from sacramento but you can buy bags of Kona coffee

Ben Jenkins

Best coffee in Waikiki hands down

Shelly Puri

It’s a beautiful space and definitely set up for a lazy morning over a beverage of choice. It would get five stars if it did not charge extra for plant-based/vegan milk.

David Bauhaus

Fresh food, good espresso, and fruit is delish. Staff was friendly and helpful. They have some rad branding too... I mean, c'mon, Gorilla in the Cafe? --Righteous.

Clinton Vonow

Went there for coffee and breakfast. They completely messed up the order. Soy coffee was labelled incorrectly and a 'plain' bagel came with a slice of meat.

Joseph Silveira

Iced Americana was great!

Adrian Kwa

Cafe serving decent coffee and light meals. Friendly staff. Acai bowls are popular here

Ema Chis

Literally the best coffee in Honolulu. Went everyday of our trip, friendly service and amazing coffee awaited us! Best honey cinnamon latte to date! Reasonably priced and the cutest little coffee shop!

Very small "hole in the wall" location but excellent food. Their pancake souffles are AMAZING and unique. Our party of five had all different selections and everything was excellent.
