I specifically came here to check out the store and to do the tour. I had a wonderful touring experience and a professional team. Listening to the past and seeing how the factory looks from roasting the beans to packing the finished product was amazing. They gave a little souvenir at the end of the tour which is a small bag of Lion s original international blend coffee, one tea bag, and a coupon to be used in the shop.

Honestly some of the best coffee me and my family have ever had! Perfectly sweet, but not too much to make you feel sick. The hot chocolate had a wonderful flavor and the two ladies working the counter were so kind and amazing the whole time we were in the store! Definitely coming back with friends next time!

I have been a fan of Lion Coffee for years. Every time I visit Honolulu I load up. This time we got a chance to go on the factory tour. Turned out there were the only the two of us so we had a private tour. The guide was very informative. We learned about the history of Lion Coffee and the process from start to finish. The smell of coffee in the factory was intoxicating!Parking - They have covered parking in what looks like the warehouse of a gazillion coffee machines. Very interesting.The coffee is not cheap but it was worth it, especially the 100% Kona. We got a 10% off coupon for being tour participant, but at the cashier there was some confusion as to what was covered by the coupon. We ended up paying full price for most. Not a huge deal but would help if the terms were clearly printed on the coupons.

Lion coffee sells coffee for events. Can pay a deposit on these aeropress and choose whatever coffee you want.New lion is not as cool as the old one, but progress, right? Everything changes.Seems like more seating with the updated cafe area.They now have hot bentos and musubis, premade, in addition to the small cold selection and breads and cookies.Factory Tour available in English and Japanese.

Great coffee! Nice and helpful staff. Large variety of coffees including a number of Chefs Blends like Sam Choy, Roy Yamaguchi, and Alan Wong. Parking is a challenge. Somehow tourists manage to find their way there and seem to enjoy he coffee and shopping.

We’ve been hooked on this coffee since we tried the free sample in our hotel in Hawaii on our honeymoon! Our fav is the vanilla macadamia whole bean. It’s strong and got a smooth flavor that is not overpowering! ♥️

We used to be big fans of Lion Coffee. We were fans so long ago, they used to sell 100% Kona coffee in the red bags. Then, their quality fell so low we stopped buying (we live in CA). We tried it again in 2020 as a Xmas present. The 100% Kona is still good but the coffee in the red bags is not even as good a Folgers or Yuban. Sorry guys, we are never going to buy from you again. You used to sell a GREAT product. Now, its just over-priced. Try going back to your old business model. Lion was a great coffee company at one time.

CUSTOMER PARKING AVAILABLE 3 DOORS DOWN! This cool urban setting is qorth the visit. My husband had tried Lions Toasted Coconut coffee in Kailua, so we decided to check out the cafe. It is a really neat setup with all the roasting equipment right there in the warehouse. They even had free grounds available in the parking area in a wheelbarrow.Didnt get to take the tour as we were heading to the airport, but spent some time in the cafe and really enjoyed it. Great stop for gifts and good coffee. You can sample almost all of the coffee before you decide which one to get a big cup with.The light-medium roasts were my favorite. They also have nitro cold brew, but it wasnt my favorite.Highly recommend!

Lions Coffee can be found throughout many ABC and stores in Waikiki. This is their factory store, which also offers a cafe. They have a good assortment of coffee grounds (whole beans & grounded) available, and offer samples for you to try! They also have merchandise such as key chains & shirts available that would make great souvenirs. Check them out if you love coffee!

This was an unexpected little treasure! Great little cafe cute goods and there is a free tour! The staff was super lovely as well especially our Guide Ai. Would recommend to go shopping after the tour because there is a little coupon they give together with a little coffee and tea gift. Also would recommend taking a short walk to Kamehameha Bakery just a few minutes away!

Local coffee and quite possibly the most iconic logo in Honolulu’s rapidly changing environment! Go check out the coffee place. It’s in an industrial area and the parking is weird street parking but the truth is that’s Oahu in a nutshell. Quit whining about it! It’s an island. Go have some coffee and get amped up on caffeine so you can go hike the pink pillbox!

Great espresso drinks. Cool atmosphere, and super cheap. Have a special every day for less than 3 bucks, and Ive never paid over 5 for anything. Also cups are pretty much a large at most places. Have taster coffees. Also its attached to their roasting facility, I just wish they did roasting dates on their bags, and fresh grind/ pour over. But best Hawaii coffee shop Ive found in Honolulu area.

Good coffee for decent price. However, they should do better with service. I used a coupon for discount(a while ago) but the server charged me with full price. When I pointed that out, she gave me no apologies but just the money. Very tall lady. Probably newbie? Customer service should include some manners.

This is the coffee youll drink island-wide if youre not in a Starbucks. Spacious coffee shop connected to the roasting and production facility, tours offered at 10:30 and 12:30, M-F. Extensive coffee selection at the cafe, and beans for purchase to take home. Drink like a local!

My daughter introduced me to their frappe chilla I think its called . Best damn frap I had in a while. With a cute sweet setting and also a peaceful place it was a good idea to come here. Much cheaper than Starbucks too. It was just great to have quality coffee, in a noncrowded cafe, for a really really cheap price. Ive been craving it since but havent gotten around to getting back there.

Review №37

Personally, I really love Lion Cafe and General Store. If you work in Kalihi, you KNOW theres a shortage of caffeine sources, so Lions is perfect! Theres a ton of parking, whether it be in their space or on the street, and theres a lot of room, so most people who stop in are able to get a seat. I just love the vibe of this place. The cute and somewhat rustic warehouse vibe that it has, and the lingering smell of coffee. Its fun too because they do tours, though Ive never been on one, Id like to someday! You see tourists and locals here, which just enhances the Hawaii vibe that this place has. I also enjoy the drinks Ive had, and Ive had a few! Sometimes we do a group order here at my workplace, and its fun to see the different drinks everyone gets. Matcha lattes, Americanos, Caramel Macchiatos.. Yum! I love their specialty drinks that occur each day of the week, so check those out for sure! Im excited to take my friends here when they get back to the islands. Ill be back!

A staple of Hawaiis souvenirs, it is a retail store with a plant of Lion Coffee.As it is, there is only Honmotoyama, and there are also flavors that are not sold to ABC STORE or Walmart.You can also purchase Royal Kona Coffee under the Lion Coffee umbrella.Factory tours are also possible. Monday-Friday 10:30, 12:30 twice.Go to the store and apply directly.It can be used as a cafe as usual, so its good to stop in the middle of the drive. The parking lot is lined with shops and is in the warehouse on the left towards the shops.

Take a factory tour of Lion Coffee, a famous icon of HawaiiI heard a lot of interesting stories.Note thatUnder 12 years old can not participate in the tourThere is a parking lot, but it is in the warehouse w There is a signboard at the warehouse entrance in front of the factory (on the Honolulu side).Coffee (green package) with antioxidant effect is very easy to drink and purchased in large quantities. However, they sell only grind, not beans.

Review №67

Rostory plant of famous Ryan coffee in Japan. I know that the coffee plant is on the Kona side. I went to the homepage to get a tour, but fortunately I was able to tour the day with only two Japanese and our party. It takes about 30 minutes for the Japanese staff to take the tour. If you are Japanese, please let us know in Japanese. The tour focuses more on the history of coffee from Ryan Cafe than on the coffee tour. It is a matter of course, but it is content to hear at the company public relations hall. The factory is in, but its a quick look at the packaging machine. When you are finished, you will be presented with 45g mini beans. At the café you can buy 10% discount beef on the same day. When you compare it, it is similar to Wal-Mart and I bought the beans, but later Don Quixote is much cheaper. Don Quixote is better to buy beans. Even at the cafe, the roasting date is older than the sale of the mart. If you are wondering about Ryan Coffee, it is not too bad to have a cup of coffee.

I visited by rental car.There is a warehouse about two houses next to the store, and that is the parking lot.The lion coffee business car is parked.The shop itself is not that big, but there is a cafe where you can have coffee on the spot.Check if the factory tour has a fixed time and you need to make a reservation.The attached shop sells a lot of coffee and eco bags.You can sample several types of coffee, so you can decide after drinking, but not all types, so dont expect it.Also, it was lukewarm coffee, not freshly brewed.Is it a hot topic in cafes these days? I had nitro cold brew coffee.Its coffee with nitrogen, but its not as tingling as carbonic acid.Somehow, it didnt contain cream, but it felt creamy when I drank it.

Even if you do not like coffee please do go.Tour tour in Japanese twice a day. 10: 30 is recommended.Direct at TheBus 42 from the stop near Waikiki Marugame.If you can see McDonald on your right hand, I get off at the next stop and it takes about 3 minutes.Please enter the name, melado (can be abandoned) on the terminal that puts the store before the tour, paste the paper that came out of the printer on your chest, wait until the time tasting.Shopping is a discount ticket after the tour, so w laterAfter this we return to the bus stop where we came and we can go straight at TheBus 52 with Doutor and Haleiwa.I got off at the weed of Haleiwa and had lunch at McDonald.You can open the toilet when you call out to a clerk. Walk along the street towards the coast.After walking around Haleiwa Alii Beach, from the bus stop by the sea,Lets reach the sunset beach at TheBus 55. Please be careful as there is a tent village on the right side of Haleiwa Aliy · Beach.Both Haleiwa Alii Beach have beautiful toilets.On the way back, TheBus 55 is direct to Ala Moana.

The smell of coffee from the moment you get off the car ♪ There is a tour course that Japanese staff will explain in a very easy-to-understand manner, so it is safe even if you are not good at English.Can you buy only here?

Review №74

Whether its not listed in the tourist guidebook, its always loco, no matter where you go.There is also a direct sales shop at the Lion Coffee factory.Thats right, but the product lineup is abundant.Since there are many variations in size, souvenirs for distribution can be arranged according to rank.Of course you can order coffee, and there is a miscellaneous (with familiar) table corner.When you go to Hawaii, you visit once during your stay.If you have a car, on the way from Waikiki, one of the recommended ways to spend the day is to buy a malasada at a popular Leonards bakery and take a coffee here.
