Island Vintage Coffee (Royal Hawaiian Center)

Kona coffee and açaí bowls for a Waikiki morning

Address: 2301 Kalakaua Ave, Royal Hawaiian Center Building C, 2nd floor #C215

On the second floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, the terrace puts palm tops at eye level. The signature is an açaí bowl, frozen açaí blended and topped with granola, banana, strawberries and honey; people also order 100% Kona coffee and lattes with pandan or macadamia syrup. It opens before dawn, so it's a stop on morning walks. The morning line is long but moves fast.
