Need to go back here to try more of the menu, just dropped in for a coffee to get change for the meter outside.It’s a cute space inside, and they sell specialty chocolates, canned coffee, and teas in addition to baked goods and coffee drinks.It didn’t look like they were allowing dine-in at the time, but there were tables and chairs in one area beyond the counter.

As with many places in Kaimuki, this is a nice hole in the wall gem. Come here if youre across the street at Kaimuki Auto Repair doing car maintenance.Because its so popular, the workers can be stuck in the chaos of rush hours to be attentive to new people — I foolishly waited behind people who already ordered before realizing orders were taken at the side door.Coffees tasted pretty nice, to be expected of $5 value. If you want exclusive Hawaiian coffee theyre out most of the time and youre better off going to Honolulu Coffee at Ala Moana.

Love this coffee shop. For real one of? the? best if you’re looking for legitimate pure non-commercialized coffee.Highly suggest making this your spot.Currently take out only due to the small shop.

I usually come here to buy the beans - I enjoy buying the Big Truck blend to use at home, and really appreciate that I can buy beans that were roasted less than a week prior. The drip coffee is great, very fruity, and strong. Really hoping they can open seating soon as the ambience/decor/architecture are very modern and clean and Id love to work there on my laptop.

Breakfast menu currently unavailable; but there were baked goods. Such a great space, cant wait to go back when covid protocols allow. Such a great atmosphere and everyone was super friendly/positive attitudes.

The best coffee we had during our 7 days on Oahu. Pour overs have nice complex flavors and the nitro cold brew is excellent. Delicious baked goods as well!

Awesome coffee - first real flat white on the island (European style). We’re also looking forward to trying the beans we bought. Knowledgeable baristas too.There’s no seating right now due to COVID (March 2021)

Great coffee, really well extracted light roast coffee. the best I’ve had in Oahu!

Wide variety of coffee and tea. Best espresso Ive found a few days into our vacation. It seemed like a great spot once the indoor cafe atmosphere becomes normal again.

Delicious coffee. Great atmosphere. Friendly and informative staff. LOVED!

Incredible coffee, every time. fun rotating seasonal menu that will never disappoint. the curb has a rare FREE parking lot, cheehoo! I usually get a drip or a latte, but whatever I get, I know it will be meticulously crafted and beautifully executed.

I got Lavender matcha latte. dosent even smell lavender at all.

The Curb was our go-to coffee shop while we were staying in Kaimuki for the week from NYC. Hands down, best Iced Americano I have ever had!! I will spend the rest of my life searching for another americano to match.Tried their KSP, their mocha, their Vog - everything was stellar. The banana bread was moist and flavorful (another item Ill be hoping to find a replica of, near me).

Really cool coffee shop! The staff is super welcoming and I overheard them welcoming in regulars by name. They also have a great selection of coffee from other roasters around the country. The spot is a little small (cozy) but has a really hip and inviting atmosphere. If you love coffee give The Curb a shot!

Great service and wonderful coffee...they know their small roastery beans. Thank goodness, WA state coffee is divine!

We tried curb for the first time today and it is seriously one of the best lattes we’ve had. We tried the honey latte and it is just amazing! Can’t wait to go back again and try more drinks and goodies.Also their chocolate cookie is delicious

Best coffee in Kaimuki! I always get a lavender dandelion mocha. Sounds weird, but I promise its amazing. Its not too sweet and the flavors are made locally. And the people are super nice, are always jamming out to good music and have a great sense of humor :)

Amazing coffee stop with incredible espresso !

Friendly baristas and super cool space. The Curb checks all the boxes of a great specialty coffee cafe. When I visited, they had a nice selection of beans from Olympia, Onyx, and Greater Goods. Definitely visiting again the next time Im in Honolulu.

Gray choice for coffees and now chocolate also. My automatic barista doing pour over using Colombia beans.

Culture alone is worth making this coffeehouse your community well. Come here for a good reliable coffee or try something new with their ever shifting signature bevs.+ Specialty & Adventurous Coffee+ Staff 💪+ WiFi+ Outlets & Seating- If you hate genuine people, passion, and thoughtful craft, dont come here.

Excellent service! And delicious variety of coffee roasts and brands that they feature. It was a cozy little shifter on a rainy day in Oahu. Would definitely come back again.

I love the new location, even if it is out of my way a bit. New owners are great and they serve the same great coffee. Awesome cold brew! They also have some new rotating specialties.

Great coffee, better people. The workers here are some of the chillest people you’ll ever meet. They treat everyone that comes in like a longtime friend. Did I mention the coffee is really good too?

Great coffee shop that has something for everyone. Coffee? Tea? Decaf? Milk? Delicious house made syrups to go with the said drinks. The baristas here are awesome, and will definitely craft you the perfect drink! Highly recommended! Also new to this location is WiFi and ample parking in the back!

Came here the first day of our vacation and almost every day afterwards-delicious coffee, a beautiful space, great baked goods, and lovely baristas. Recommend this place so highly!

Legit coffee - yay!!!!Being from the SF Bay Area, I’m always wary of trying coffee in new places. The Curb did not disappoint. I highly recommend making the trip to this out of the way place.

Hands down the best coffee we found in Honolulu! The cappuccino is perfection in coffee ☕️ AAA+

Delicious coffee. Got the recommended macadamia but latte and honey latte. REALLY friendly people who work here. I came 2 times during my visit

Dustin & Devon are super kind and knowledgeable! The place looks very unassuming from the outside, but they make an outstanding coffee, and have a few selections for a bite to eat. Dustin addressed almost every person who walked in the door by name and with a smile! Clearly, it is a place that locals return to frequently, and people passing through Waikiki should make it a point to stop by to share a smile, pet a pooch, and have a great cup of joe! Mahalo Nui guys! I look forward to returning when I pass back through Oahu! 🤙🌺😊

They really know their coffee and take pride in it. Consistent quality and great service. They do a really great flat white (espresso : milk : microfoam ratio is precise and consistent).

Staff is super nice and an awesome barista♡ parking lot is small and free . I have been to other location in Kailua and loved the food. This location didnt have any pastries. They specialize in coffee but I have to say the hot chocolate was amazing! This location is for a quick coffee♡ enjoy!They also have some paper and you can write a cute note for someone...a random stranger or for the girl who used to work here and moved. Either way....be sure to leave a message!Aloha♡

If you are looking for good service and local business then thats the one. The coffe is great and my favorite is flat white 😌 at this store. The vibe here makes you feel home and relax. Give it a visit.

Great tasting coffee that is made, brewed, and served by a friendly, knowledgeable and passionate staff. I always feel welcome and the coffee in the morning always makes for a great beginning of the day. If you are a coffee connoisseur I highly recommend this place.

Dandelion mocha is sooo addicting! And the George, though odd sounding, is highly sippable for a cold drink. Very good coffee, and the kicker is... 60 cents off each drink with your own container?!?! That means you get high quality, hand crafted drinks for the same or less cost than SBX, sooo the choice is clear. Only problem is if there is a long line, they are a small shop, so chill for a bit.

A slice of heaven, disguised as a coffee shop, filled with wonderous people and fascinating conversations! 😉

Best coffee on our trip with a rainbow blessing us during our visit.

Great coffee and good energy This will be my morning spot. Chairs are limited so get there early.

Nice little shop in Kaimuki, pleasant staff and atmosphere, decent coffee selection!

Outstanding service! Love the ambience.

A lovely little grab-and-go coffee shop with friendly service and a few chairs out front. Very kind people and nice coffee selections!

Its always have good food, drink and people:)

Excellent coffee intentionally prepared and beautifully executed. A shining gem of the Hawaii coffee community. If you love great coffee, youre doing yourself a disservice by not visiting this cafe. 10/10 will always return.

Very friendly staffs and cozy interior with free WiFi. I love the Nitro Cold Brew. Also tried the Pour Over with Oynx Colombia Monteverde Natural Gesha bean - its very smooth but I prefer more nutty bean.Will definitely come back for the cold brew and try different expresso drinks!

Great coffee & tea, friendly staff!

Good unusual coffee, especially the poor overs

Always good service and products!

I have a few things to accomplish before my meeting and badly needed a cafe that offers a great and quiet ambiance, and where i could work and stay for a few hours. Good thing I found this place online and never regretted to choose to go here. They offer great coffee and pastries too!

Simply one of the best representation of baristas honing their craft. Their commitment of being a local business in Kaimuki is also astounding. You can find some great coffee beans there. Also they make their own syrups fresh in house.

Wonderful little coffee shop in Kaimuki. The barista who made our pour over, was super friendly and helpful. He took his time to explain the differences between the various coffees we were considering, and took his time to brew two perfect cups of coffees. He even opened a Kona coffee pack, for us!I thought the coffee was fairly priced, especially for the quality of the beans, and the amount of time it takes.There are a few tables inside, but not a lot of space, especially if you have a larger group.Would definitely visit again, if I am in the area.

Excellent espresso-based drinks. Their beans have an interesting sour touch that I really loved. Barista skills were legit - true third wave coffee. The banana bread was very good as well. Would come back.

Their nitro cold brew is SUPER strong - just the way I like it! And they offer a nice discount if you bring your own cup with you. Only disappointment is that their hours are pretty limited.

Everything is praiseworthy in this coffee shop. Youll surely love their coffees and its people. How come? Well, their coffees are just the best-tasting ones in town and their people are the best crew youll ever meet. They know how to harmonize amiability with professionalism and ethical manners. I just cant find a single thing that disappoints me with this coffee shop.

Love this coffee place...the best

A massive highlight in my trip to Oahu! Dustin (one of the baristas) made me literally the best iced coffee Id ever had, and even took the time to share the recipe and tips for my coffee exploration at home! Cozy atmosphere and exceptional staff. Come hang out!

Excellent pour over coffee. Staff is knowledgeable about beans. Good selection of whole beans for purchase. Price is about what one would expect from a third way coffee shop

The best coffee in Honolulu is served here! ALWAYS fresh beans (major key!) from Olympia Coffee Roasters, Intelligentsia, Four Barrel, and special appearances from different roasters from time to time. Knowledgeable staff who are willing to answer any questions from the menu, the different characteristics of the coffees of the week, to the variety of brewing methods. Small but intimate space, and the regulars are always friendly. Iʻm glad I do not have to pay for a round trip ticket to get a legit cup of coffee. PRO TIP: Bring your own cup, or enjoy the drink in the cafe to save $0.60 from your bill!

Great coffee. We had iced and hot honey lattes, and both were superb! The barristas were super friendly and provided great service.

Great espresso based beverages at this coffee shop. Loved the oat milk honey latte. Staff was friendly and eco-conscious.

I love The Curb! The espresso is always on point and I enjoy the friendly service. This is a small location, minimal seating available; good for just a quick visit or to go. Visitor parking stalls available behind building front but it is limited. Some metered street parking nearby. Located right next to the 7-Eleven on Waialae.

Super cute inside, although seating is limited. The cashier was super friendly, made my morning! ❤☕ I got the honey iced latte, it was great!

This place is so perfect. Great beans (Olympia when I went) expertly pulled shot. Friendly and welcoming staff. Only issue. No organic milk option. Im dying to give this place 5*. I simply cant when you are forced to go non dairy or ingest toxic pesticide residues, GMO soy, and hormones and antibiotics. When you think about it, what ls the point of having great beans, a $25K La Marzocco, and conventional milk? I understand there a supplier issue. Lets hope its resolved and they get back their organic milk option.

Cannot go wrong here. The baristas are all incredibly nice, the coffee is top class third wave (with a good selection of beans from repeated rosters), and is in a fantastic location in a tight nit space. Well worth checking out if in need of some delicious coffee on Oahu.

Eh. So so. I think a more hipster crowd would appreciate the vibes here though. Mocha latte was decent but not out of this world.

Always satisfied with the service and of course the coffee. The new owners have truly made this place top-notch and worth going out of the way for. Appreciate the research and energy that goes into every bean and brew.

Nitro Cold Brew. Need I say more. We returned here multiple times. The coffee is unbeatable.

Super cozy. But plenty of plugs and free/fast wifi. Staff are easy going and helpful. Nice place for a quick catch-up but too small to stay for long...

Born and raised on Oahu, but have been exposed to some great coffee living in Seattle the last couple years. The nitro cold brew and espresso shots are excellent here, comparable to what I get in the better cafes in Seattle. Banana bread was ono. Will always drop in here when on Oahu.

Favorite spot on the island. Amazing coffee, and absolutely amazing people. My go to when in Honolulu.

Definitely coming back to try more coffee...this place was oddly busy for what I had expected...lots of people coming in and out...our order got forgotten but I think it was because it was so busy, someone else got the order instead. But still totally worth coming back!

Stayed at an Airbnb nearby, and this place was my morning cup of joe for a few days. I’m going to miss it, it had this home feel to it. The nicest people work there. The nicest people drink coffee there, I’m from Seattle... and maybe it was a bit of the aloha spirit, but this place is a gem.

Best coffee in town. Too often a serious coffee place comes with an attitude to match, but not The Curb. You can ask questions and theyll guide you to find whats perfect for you. I love the cold brew, but if you have some time go for a pour over or French press. Theyll do it however you want, with whatever beans you pick.

They serve coffee from some of the best roasters in the world. Olympia and Onyx. I was so happy I found this spot while on vacation to get my fancy coffee fix.

This little coffee stop is just a few blocks from our campus. At some of our events, we have served coffee that is sourced by The Curb. Many of our faculty and staff enjoy personalized brews of coffee from the quaint, yet significant location. It is definitely a perk of Kaimuki and Honolulu with their other locations!

Clean, cool, creative spot. Coffees from around the globe. Interesting brews and blends. Eco-friendly.

Good atmosphere local coffee shop. Baristas are very friendly as well as the other customers. There is free parking behind the store. Coffee is excellent.

I love the curb. They have a wide variety of milks and coffee blends! Very exotic drinks!! Everyone is the best, super nice!!!!!

People friendly, love the vibe, employees are very personable. Banana bread is amazing☺

The baristas were very knowledgeable, skilled, and personable. It is evident they enjoy their work! It was a pleasant experience drinking coffee at the curb.

Best coffee in Honolulu. Im from Seattle, Wa and drink great espresso every day. The Curb Kaimuki would do well in Seattle as a top tier espresso shop. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and VERY good at making espresso. Thanks for the taste of home while I was on my trip!

Great variety of drip coffee. And a wide selection! A must go for, if you’re into coffee!!

The Curb is a great little shop. Its a bit of a hidden 3rd wave gem in Honolulu. The espresso was good and the service was great. If you are eating near by, get your coffee after here rather than at the restaurant. You wont regret it.

5 stars all the way. Must visit at least once. And youll want to come back again and again. Best Barista Ever.

It was good. I give it 4 stars, because the barista was really nice. They are a roaster, but they also have Intelligentsia and Four Barrel.

This place is the greatest! Best shop in town for a tasty coffee and next level service. Mahalo, friends!

Great coffee, friendly staff. Kind of small and can get busy/loud so finding a seat and chilling for extended periods can be difficult. Still my go to place if I want coffee in Kaimuki.

Amazing third wave craft coffee in Oahu.

I think this is a seasonal special, but I got the lavender matcha when I was there and it was SO GOOD! The space was a bit small and crowded, but it was beautifully decorated, the staff was friendly, and the latte was outstanding!

Had Lavender Matcha dirty style with Shot of espresso. Cute lil shop with nice bathroom

The coffee is AMAZING..and it is truly a whole experience from ordering it to taking your first sip. The barista took me through it sharing different smells, asking me questions and sharing knowledge to make the best cup of coffee for me the way I didnt even known I like it and in a very relaxed, inviting and timely manner. It was delicious..I will return..in fact I am headed there now. Only draw back, no wifi.

Excellent, inexpensive coffee on an island populated by Starbucks. The barista is very knowledgeable and takes pride in every cup. Drinking here is certainly more of an experience than the grab-and-go culture that has arisen around coffee. The location is small and easy to miss, and there is no WiFi. Its just you and your coffee. But if a quality is your priority, The Curb is an excellent choice.

Im updating this review I dont want anybody to think that that reviews is current, as of today theres a new shop owner and theres been dramatic improvements great place to have coffee,..This place has gone down hill fast, closed for weeks and then after they reopen still dont have all the ingredients to make coffee right, the taste has changed and it no longer honors coffee as it did before. Still have awesome staff, well except the owner, who has the dominor of a pouty child, stops carry good coffee and other produces because the company runs out of things sometimes, sad really, why would anyone stop carrying there best selling item and coffee flavors, I mean duh its a good item why do you think they run out, order extra bud. Get a clue.

Its the curb, it is a local place for friends and good coffee.

Halo Ethiopian Pour over was probably the best coffee Ive had on Oahu. Their non-dairy options are the soy and almond beverages from Costco, which are terrible.

Great Americano. Friendly service. Comfy atmosphere.

The lavender matcha with Mac nut milk was one of the BEST things I’ve put in my mouth in aWHILE.!!! >>>Seriously Yum factor 11!!! WhaaaaT!?

I found a place that serves pour over. Took a while for sure (to find a place - not to get the pour over). Staff is very friendly. There is something super odd about their internet access though. I fooled around with settings for about 15 minutes and as far as I can tell TWC/Spectrum has problems or is purposefully blocking some sites. They seemed to be all Google web properties that had issues (maps, G-Suite/Mail). And it seemed to happen all/most of the time with Chrome - fired up Safari and worked fine. Very weird. Ive not experienced this problem at any other location on Hawaii for the past month. Maybe its just me but my phone also had problems...again only Chrome. Oh well.At any rate, the pour over was OK. Ethiopian which is usually something I like although I realize there are a lot of different Ethiopian beans on the market these days so maybe I got something that doesnt tickle my fancy. I need it stronger (yes, I know its a light roasted bean). Maybe theres a Philz on Oahu somewhere! ;-)Nice, simple, decor. Minimalist. Id watch out though - they are borderline pretentious/snobby. We all go through that phase of coffee I guess.

Had an excellent Ethiopia from Olympia Coffee done as a Chemex. It saved my life! :) great service and awesome little coffee shot with a beautiful Modbar set up.

Great cold brew and super friendly baristas in a fun neighborhood. Not a lot of seating, so its best to get it to go.

Great coffee! I like to go next door to pick up some bread from the BreadShop
