Ali'i Coffee Co.

I'm always on the hunt for a good matcha latte, and the mango matcha latte was one of the best I've had in a long time. It was really nicely balanced with some sweet but not too sweet mango to go with the strong but not bitter matcha. We go with oat milk for our dairy-free option. Tucked in the Courtyard Waikiki Marriott, this is a nice little spot for a pick me up!

Inside the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel (to the right at the entrance) is the coffee shop. The Ali’i brand has smooth coffee and I had to try the unique Taro Ube Latte. Not too familiar with Taro or ube flavoring, though it wasn’t bad. It was very pretty, though the sugary-marshmallow flavor mostly hid any coffee taste. I’m glad I had it, and recommend if that’s your thing. The store is fine, weird sized tables/counters for customers but plenty of seating in the hotel lobby area. Nothing spectacular, though I wasn’t expecting it.

I was in Waikīkī for a week and trying to go to as many local coffee shops as I could hit in that time, and I ended up coming here 3 out of the 7 days I was here because the coffee was just that good. I got the Hilo honey latte and it was absolutely delectable and liquid perfection. The inside of this shop is quite small but it has seating, and is very tastefully decorated in an island style. The buttermilk breadstick which was essentially a donut was also extremely soft, fresh, and delicious. Highly highly recommend this shop for a fantastic high quality latte. Also recommend the ube latte, which tasted a bit like a high quality hot cocoa, but extremely tasty.

Taro/Ube latte was excellent (I got it twice and I’m usually a coffee “snob”). Was able to reduce it to 30% sugar which was perfect for me. Also, the folks working here are so nice. I mistakenly dropped my coffee outside in the rain and they were so kind in helping me. Big thank you to both people working at Ali’i this morning - excellent coffee AND friendly service, I’ll definitely back again!

Came based on rave reviews for their ube taro latte. Did not disappoint. Coffee flavours were strong, and very strong ube Taro syrup. Pricing is also reasonable. $7.50 for 16oz. Better than Honolulu cafe. Small shop, lots of traffic since it's inside Marriot hotel. Friendly staff who recommended the Uber Taro latte. They know what they're known for and it's good.

I have been twice no with absolutely no disappointment! The salted honey cinnamon latte is the best latte I have ever had. The sandwiches are incredible (I’ve tried three) and the service is fast and friendly! It’s a little on the pricey end, but well worth it in my opinion. Not a whole lot of seating inside but plenty of outdoor seating in the hotel it is located in. I highly recommend you check out this place as the perfect breakfast/brunch spot. It’s amazing!
