What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"We absolutely love this place. The staff was very patient and accommodating, especially since we had a few customizations for our breakfast and everything came out exactly the way we ordered. The food was great and the coffee was amazing. A good breakfast really sets the tone for the day, especially when you have a lot to get done, and this place definitely delivers that feel-good start. Highly recommended!"
"Vibe Cafe is one of those places that just puts you at ease the moment you step in. The food had great flavor—fresh and well made—but I did feel like the portions were a bit small for what you pay. That said, the drinks were solid, and the vibe really made it all come together. It’s the kind of spot where you can talk story with friends or get focused on a project without distractions. The setting is peaceful and beautifully designed, and the staff were genuinely kind. I appreciate places that create space for people to slow down and feel welcome—this is definitely one of them. If you're looking for somewhere calm, uplifting, and people-centered, I'd say give Vibe a try."
"After just one sip I realised I was drinking the best coffee I’ve had in all of Hawaii! I got a maple syrup latte with a sprinkle of sea salt. You can really tell the barista has the experience and knowledge of what makes a good coffee. The avo sourdough meals were perfect, satisfying with a mix of all the rights flavours. And a shoutout to the staff! Seems like a local family business, our server was so friendly and charismatic !"
"The food was amazing and so were the staff!! We felt very welcome, their coffee drinks were perfectly made and so was the food, some of the best nachos I’ve had! Pastrami sandwich came as advertised, defiantly their specialty!! How about a pink waffle for the little princess in your life too!"
"Highly recommend this spot! We had so much fun sitting outside. We got the açaí bowl, the avocado toast and the veg sandwich- everything was amazing and the place is so cute for photos ! Love it"
"Cute little cafe. The taro sandwich was amazing with added extra hummus. The hummus was awesome. The bread was great too. The açaí bowl was standard made..."
