What a great find! My friend and I ubered from our Airbnb to try this place out and it did not disappoint! These are just two of the meals our group ate. The salmon toast was delicious! Worth the Uber rides to and from! :)

This place seems overrated. Food there is simple and doesn’t have any phenomenal characteristics to even go there and stay 30 mins in the line. Also there is no free parking around the area.

Really great space and basic eats. I had the lavender latte and egg sandwich, both were great. On a separate occasion, I had the matcha chia bowl and that was super unique! Layered with fresh fruit and matcha cream, it was refreshing and sweet.The outdoor seating is great, but be mindful of closing times. You can park at SALT and get parking validated here.

Arvo sticks to the very basics. There are fruit bowls and granola, avocado toast and tonics. There’s even homemade ricotta and nutella with coconut. 🥥 And it all shows up to your outside table looking like it’s been run through a paid app filter. But once you actually start eating, you realize the food isn’t just pretty, it’s pretty damn good. 🏝

This was my favorite coffee shop we went to the entire week in Hawaii. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the coffee & food were incredible!! Definitely a must!

Great atmosphere but food felt lacking. Avocado toast looked great but just didn’t measure up in flavor. Would probably recommend looking elsewhere for breakfast (also line was very long)

A lovely spot for breakfast or lunch and great coffee. My first time on the island and my husband and I tried the Americano and lavender latte with almond milk. The lavender was so subtle, just enough to infuse the latte with flavor, a win for me. Also, we had the salmon toast and an avocado toast, which were great. The bread is light and fluffy and freshly made and the simplicity of these dishes make it enjoyable.

This popular Cafe has Instagramable food. but the prices and lack of indoor seating may not appeal to everyone

Stumbled across this place by accident. Great staff and loved the food. Ham and cheese toastie was delicious (I want another one). My partner’s meatball sandwich was amazing and let me tell you about the chamomile mint tea vanilla shaker was light and fresh. Will definitely be back.

This is my coffee spot!! Great coffee, and yummy eats. It’s a bit pricey, but so is everything in Hawaii. The area is full of beautiful people and dogs. Try the charcoal latte. I can’t drink enough.

Went here twice for lunch on our week-long Oahu stay, it was amazing both times! The lavender latte is very good, and the halloumi burger was a delicious vegetarian twist (grilled goat cheese patty)Great atmosphere, clean outdoor shaded seating, went on a Saturday at noon and the wait was still minimalThe employees were extremely nice, all in all 10/10 experience

The avocado toast tastes good but the quantity was a little disappointing compared the price. We also ordered the salmon toast which I will give the same comment.But their coffee was really good. We ordered an matcha latte coffee and it’s probably one of the best I had around the world.

Review №15

Great place with good food. This place gets crowded, so better to go early or later during the day. Food is little over-priced for the quantity. Taste is good and staffs are very friendly. We went there twice during our trip, and loved it.

Fab Australian cafe serving excellent coffee and “avo on toast”, as well as lots of other things. Go for the “fully loaded avo” - it’s delicious! Lots of outdoor shaded seating. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

The new location within Salt Kaka’ako is great! Right in the center of this place, the outdoor seating is cute and a great spot to chill. Their avocado toasts are fantastic as is their egg salad toast. I also love their strawberry guava mint beverage!

Everything is super fresh and delicious. Lots of vegan options. The shop has indoor/outdoor seating and the inside of the shop is shared with a florist/plant store with a bunch of locally made jewelry, cards, prints. There’s also a cute clothing store in the same big room, opposite the coffee counter. It’s amazing! Go!

Review №22

Came here for brunch with a new friend and enjoyed a nice, quick - but small - meal with a lovely and consistent breeze.I ordered the salmon toast with an iced strawberry guava tea and my total (with 18% tip) came to ~$17. While I suppose thats not a bad price point for the island, coming from the mainland thats quite a premium for a few slices of salmon, bread, cheese, capers, onions, and tea.Service was speedy, but my companion informed me that that was unusual and that Arvo is most often busier and much more crowded. I certainly believe that as the internal space for Arvo is little more than a single table, an orange juicer, and a main countertop. There is outside seating - roughly five tables of various sizes - as well as an order window.Arvo shares physical space with a flower shop, which makes for a lovely esthetic. They also incorporate edible flowers in their food, which is a nice, small touch.So long as youre not looking for a full meal, this is a more than solid option.

Review №23

What a gem! This place has great coffee and food options. We had the Americano and flat white but they also have fun things like a tie-dye latte. Some seating options outside, and on the inside they share the space with an amazing florist and a great little shop with jewelry, clothing and gift items. It’s also in a great spot of town...grab your coffee to go and walk around to explore the graffiti street art.

Review №24

This was a nice place. First time trying. I had the salmon Toast and Charcoal Latte Iced. My husband had the Iced Matcha Latte. The Charcoal Latte is something to try, it was interesting and good, I would get it again. The salmon Toast was good but wish they put a little more salmon. The atmosphere and vibe in the area is great. Its calm, spacious and easy going. Parking is metered and bathroom is for customers at Salt Kakaako only.

Review №25

Arvo fits in perfectly with the aesthetic of Kakaako and offers such delicious food and drink items! The avocado toast is to die for, one of the best I’ve ever had. Service is extremely friendly and get your order to you very quickly. Delicious, fresh, and an all around delightful place for a quick bite!

Cute hipster coffee shop. Shares space with a succulent shop. You can order from the outside window or go inside and order. Most of the seating is outdoors.

Review №27

Arvo is most certainly my first choice when going out for coffee or meeting up with friends. Its set up in conjunction with Paiko (garden center) and a small clothing store. It has a urban/modern feel and is great for working or studying while having a latte or a small bite. Id recommend this place to anyone. Be sure to try the lavender latte or their loaded avocado toast (both pictured below).

Review №33

One of the best small coffee shops in Honolulu. Aussie-owned (arvo, get it? Except they are open in the mornings), so yes, you CAN get vegemite toast here.Accept credit cards using Foursquare.Fresh ingredients, as locally sourced as possible.Lovely outdoor seating. Very limited indoor seating. Shares a space with the Paiko flower shop. Often a line starting around 10 oclock, so get there early if you can.Definitely spring for the loaded avocado toast, the smoked salmon toast, the lavender latte. It might seem pricey for toast, but no, its not just toast. Food quality is good, shop is clean, and portions of higher-priced items are generous. Expect the full quarter pound or so of very decent quality smoked salmon on your salmon toast. Food is served on wooden planks, so um, those capers? Yeah, theyll roll, so be prepared to lose a few or grab a fork and knife at the front. Edible flowers garnish most dishes. Beautiful presentation, though often very messy. Order inside, get your table marker, grab an outdoor table, and they will bring the food out to you. Grab extra napkins at the front or bring your own small bag of hand wipes. Youll need them.Cuppa comes with coffee art, but not obnoxious or interferes with the flavor. Matcha latte is very strong here. If youre looking for a watered-down Starbucks version, go there. They do slow cold filtered coffee here that is very very good.

Great coffee and breakfast. Perfect for puppy and people watching 😎😎 Ordered a charcoal latte and avacado toast. The barista told me they use homemade vanilla syrup in the latte. This place get packed so I would suggest coming before 9:30 if you want to grab a table to enjoy your morning breakfast.

Review №39

ARVO is a sweet little café in Kakaako that specializes in colorful coffee pours and eye catching toasts. I ordered the lavender coffee with tie dye art (~$4) and the Matcha Chia Seed Pudding ($8). The chia seed pudding starts with a layer of their matcha chia seeds, then fruits (bananas, strawberries, and pineapples), then topped with their coconut whipped cream. It was yummy--I do recommend this! Wanted to order the toasts, too, but they shut off their machines around 2:30 as they stop serving food at 3... The coffee in all honesty was mediocre at best. I like this place for its location and atmosphere!

Lovely spot with outdoor seating.Great for people watching, conversations, or a light lunch or breakfast.They moved locations and added meatballs and toast, which is one of the best ways to start your day. (Although it may not be the most typical breakfast)Since winter is coming, and the temperature might be below 80, they have an amazing hot coco if you’re not in the mood for caffeine.

Amazing 😉 if you are in the area you should check it out. They have smallBits and open face sandwiches, but they do the trick. The salmon sandwich is pretty filling. The coffee is amazing so no complaints here. If you are not into coffee, they have a variety of organic and refreshing teas.

This coffee shop is quite bigger than what Ive seen in the pictures. We just wanted to check on this place because I have read tons of glowing reviews about it. I wanted to know how true they are. To be honest, I really thought that those reviews were just a bluff in order to fool people and boy, hot guilt slapped me when I tasted their coffee and cupcakes. I was hooked like a leech! Plus, I can sense that their staffs are all friendly, kind, and accommodate each customer.

Few seats. cute shop. Australian way of doing things. so its Short = Small. Long = Large. Flat = milk/creme. Vegemite. i was a bit clueless looking at menu.Both my friends could not finish the coffee. its slow cold filtered. so made 24 hrs in advance. they said it tasted like whiskey.Basically the food menu i could do at home. not filling. so maybe if u need a place to talk to friend ... then doable if u can find a seat. they do validate.

Great coffee and tea here, especially their seasonal options! Food and shop are indie, down-to-earth items and the entire vibe screams Portland with a twirl of wood-clad furniture and eastern patched umbrellas.Parking a bit limited on the street so recommend biki or the several storied structure. Seating also packed during peak hours before 9 and between 12-2.

Quick and pretty brekky items, hot and cold drinks. Fast and friendly service (it was raining on my recent visit but my items were brought out to enjoy under a bit of covering). Opted to pay additional $3 for avocado over my smoked salmon toast and got a very generous mound (unlike other places that charge extra and give a few fancy slices) so if you love avo, go for it!
