Kimobean Coffee

Love the «big kahuna» with chocolate! It’s three shots of express and the flavor of your choice. I just wish they were open earlier. I’d say this is definitely better than Starbucks. In fact I think they are the best in town. Check it out for yourself.

Friendly and fun loving staff, plus they seem to be one of the few cafes around the area that understand the idea of microfoam in a latte.
Will be coming back even if it’s a bit of a longer walk from our hotel.
Update: went back today and it seems the quality and technique depends a lot on your barista. The better coffee we got was from the long brown/​blond haired guy.

I did not have the same experience as some of the other people here. I went here three times during my visit to the Hyatt. Great, quick service. And they have fantastic Chai. Try the Mocha Coconut Latte.

Mocha ice blended was so good. They use real shots of espresso and blend with a mix.
Location is also great if you are staying in the area. It’s on the INSIDE of the plaza so you can’t see it on the street.

Forget Kona coffee. So over rated. The Maui has a much better blend.
This is my go-​to when I’m back home on the island. Go for the Trifecta Air Infusion coffee brew.

Simple menu, great flavor.
Ordered my usual: Expresso duppio with white chocolate, mixed and put over ice. $ 5. A tad more expensive then my usual but definitely good quality stuff.

I’m staying at the Hyatt here and went into KiMO Bean for a coffee. I ordered a Kona drip and went back to my room. When the coffee had cooled down enough to take a sip I did. It tasted like water. It was worse than any gas station coffee I’ve ever tasted. So, whatever, it happens.
I took the coffee and receipt back downstairs to the store planning to exchange it for an espresso or something. That’s when things started to go a little nutty. The young guy behind the counter told me he would not exchange the coffee for anything. I said I had only had a taste and was not happy with the product. He responded by saying how did he know that was the case. Really? It’s a 3 $ coffee, I’m staying at the hotel, I have a receipt, the coffee is still hot… I’m not boosting you for an espresso.
Worst customer service ever. He actually said, «I can’t resell that.» I realize it’s not a huge loss, but for me it’s the principal. Just horrible customer service. Upon seeing some of the other reviews here for this location I see I’m not alone. In a city based on excellent customer service I’m surprised that this even happened. That kid needs a serious wake up call.

We came here because we were staying at the Hyatt Regency at Waikiki.
Actually, we walked in because of the big sign for Bubble Mochi.
What is Bubble Mochi?
It is basically ice cream stuffed in mochi balls.
And yes it was delicious.
There were 8 flavors and we basically tried all of them.
1) Strawberry — flavors were simple, nothing special here.
2) Passion Fruit — by far the best, strong passion fruit flavor.
3) Mango — good flavor
4) Choco Coco — good nutty flavor
5) Green Tea — love green tea
6) Guava — one of the best flavor as well. If you had a choice between this or passion fruit, GET BOTH.
They did have baked goods as well as fresh coffee which I didn’t get a chance to try.
Perhaps, next visit to the island.

The coffee here is decent, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go to Kimo Bean. I work in the Hyatt and sometimes I need some caffeine to get me going. Usually the people here are friendly but only because I don’t ask questions. However, last night is what really put me off and I don’t think I’ll be returning to Kimo Bean anytime soon.
So I walk in before I start my shift and decide to try something different. I ask the boy at the counter for a recommendation. Instead of a polite reply, he stood there staring off into space, not even acknowledging me. I asked him again. He replies with «What size? Small?» Which doesn’t even answer my question. Then I ask him for his opinion of the Mocha Coconut latte. He ignores me again. When I ask him again, he goes, «the coconut chocolate?»
At this point I’m fed up. I just agree and he rings me up.
As he’s preparing the coffee he continues to rush through it and slam things around as if I were taking up precious time of his. Mind you, there was not one other customer around. Finally he pretty much throws the coffee and straw into my hands without so much as a thank you.
I’m sorry Kimo Bean, but maybe you should train your workers to be a little more pleasant. Until then, I won’t be returning.

Recently stayed at the Hyatt Regency and KiMOBEAN was my go-​to coffee spot after discovering it on our second day. I love love love their lattes! So much flavor from the espresso and yay for locally grown Hawaiian coffee. I used to frequent the other big chain hawaiian coffee spot, but after finding KiMOBEAN I am hooked=).
I wish I could give 5 stars, but noticed that the morning rush is completely understaffed! There was a line out the door and only 2 workers at KiMO. One would solely work on breakfast food items that were ordered (still a plus knowing that the breakfast sandwich is made to order!) while the other was doing all the coffee/​lattes/​etc. It’s kind of sad seeing patrons getting out of line and complaining about the long wait for an establishment that serves a great product! Hopefully that was just a bad day, but they are pretty busy in the mornings.
Another fyi — they serve Bubbies mochi here!!! yum yum yum.
Keep on serving the good stuff KiMOBEAN!

Fell in love with the coconut mocha latte… not too overpowering on the coconut, not too sweet, and with happy chocolatey notes. I’m pleased to say that I start my early morning itinerary with a visit to Kimo Bean Coffee, coz the Hyatt Regency/​SKOR restaurant serve horrible coffee. My man also reported that their caramel latte is also one of the best he’s ever tried.
Staff can get overwhelmed with orders early in the morning, so try to get there early or after the tour buses roll out.

I didn’t have coffee, but I got an iced tea, fruit cup, muffin and sandwich. All were tasty. There was pleasant music playing from local musicians. It’s in the hotel lobby of the Hyatt so if you are staying here or walking by to shop definitely visit!

Conveniently located in our hotel (Hyatt Regency). Kimobean coffee is SUPER delish. They have different coffees from each island and mochi!!! Definitely better tasting than Starbucks. Loved waking up and running downstairs for some yummy coffee and ending our day with some mochi!
The only reason I gave 4 stars was because I wasn’t able to taste their food and besides the convenience of this location being in the same hotel it was pretty crowded (but what do you expect when its on Waikiki strip)? ;)

I’m giving 4 stars to the coffee alone, because the food was of mediocrity– grilled cheese that you can make at home and a waffle, similar to the ones you can make yourself with a hotel waffle-​maker. The coconut mocha, although pricey, was unique in flavor and tasted strong and bold! It was a great way to start off the morning before hiking at Manoa Falls.

A great alternative to Peets coffee in Waikiki. Yep, darker roasts and it felt like more caffeine than Starbucks, and tasted WAY better. You might miss it as it’s on the first floor of one of many shopping centers near Waikiki Beach, but definitely worth a little stroll in. The iced coffee was thick, tasty, and delcious.

I will start off with the obvious to the keen eyed Unilocaler: Kimo Bean Coffee is actually really, really good.
It’s located in the promenade of the Hayat Resort and therefor receives a majority of its customers from there. Then, such as me, walking traffic in the open air mall are drawn to this quaint shop by its simplicity and aroma. The employees are friendly and know what they’re doing without effort. Their food is on par with Starbucks: Good, fresh, and appealing to the eye. They have ample seating and some coffee beans for sale in the back of the store.
Here’s why they are unique. They only serve Hawaiian coffee. They have brews from all the different Islands and they are just so delicious. I usually order a quad-​Americano at Starbucks, though a regular medium here was just right and not in need of anything else. Yes, I love the taste of this coffee’s shop brew.
Try them out; they are far better than the Honolulu Coffee Co. and just as good as Starbucks.

Just WOW. It was my first time coming here and I was a little apprehensive because I am very picky with my coffee. I wasn’t sure whether to try the Doppio or the Kona Drip, but the barista was kind enough to suggest the Doppio.
It was a great cup of coffee!
!!!ASK FOR SEAN!!! he makes a great cup of coffee. He’s super friendly!

Best latte I’ve had in a long time! Absolutely delish!
I found Kimobean on Unilocal after watching quite a few episodes of Coffee Prince and craving waffles and lattes with cute latte art… I guess not all kimbobeans are created equal though. I think the one by the original Eggs and Things may be the only one that does latte art and makes waffles. I was definitely a little disappointed when I walked into the Hyatt Kimobean and found out that they dont do lattee art and dont make waffles. I tried the kokonut mocha and tried my friend’s vanilla late. Both were EXCELLENT! The drinks are a little pricier than starbucks/​coffee bean, but the coffee is so delicious, it’s worth the extra $$.

With several locations servicing the Waikiki area, I ventured out to the Kimo Bean Coffee located in the Hyatt Regency Hotel’s lobby to stop by and try their caramel latte. This location is conveniently located on the ground floor with a grand view of the hotel’s cascading waterfall. With a friendly staff and tables available inside as well as outside the café, it provides a nice place to sit and enjoy a nice cup of coffee.
At this coffee shop you do get your money’s worth as my 12 oz cup of latte for $ 4.75 was filled to the top with coffee unlike some other places where it is filled only full.
The espresso in this latte had a strong, rich and bold flavor which you could taste with every sip and was not overly sweetened. It does not taste anything like a caramel macchiato but is a taste I will probably have to get use to.

Off the beaten path and no clearly visible from Kalakaua Avenue, Kimo Bean in the Hyatt Regency Waikiki is a great place to stop by for a good cup of coffee or tea. They offer a stellar product and good service which make for a great place to go in my book.
Located right in the heart of the Hyatt, the store is well decorated and comfortable. It offers some seating within the store, however there are a plethora of places to sit around the hotel or perhaps go across the street to the beach and enjoy some sun!
The menu is your standard beverage selection with a good selection of continental baked products. It’s nothing special or wowing, however it certainly will not disappoint.
The service is good with the staff knowing their products and how to make a good cup of coffee. They are also very pleasant to talk with too!
