"This little gem in kaimuki was a great experience. The workers were superfriendly and very helpful. They make everything in house if I'm not mistaken. The grilled cheese sandwich is to die for. Would definitely visit again."

"Sad looking coffee that tasted okay. I ordered a flat white and you can clearly see it’s not a flat white (it came in a 12oz cup). I don’t think the staff knew what it was, charged it as a latte and made something up. There was also only like one other person in the cafe yet they still served us in to go cups which was strange. I hope they can improve the service and drinks since the space is nice and spacious, and has free wifi & bathrooms and seemed like a nice spot to work."

"Was in Hawaii for a week and visited Lotus three times because the coffee and food was so good. The base black coffee is phenomenal which of course also made the cappuccino I tried delicious and the food was impressively tasty: I’m still talking about the grilled cheese a week later as well as the Portuguese bean soup and empanadas. The comfortable setting was the cherry on top."

"Lotus Cafe is the best thing to happen to Kaimuki in a while! This cafe provides amazing island sourced coffee but also great food and great SEATING!! It’s so hard finding a coffee shop you love getting food/drinks at that you also find comfortable. Lotus has such a great vibe I could spent all day in there"

"First time I visited this place, they just opened that week...went back a couple of times and thought they were not going to make it. The atmosphere has an Asian fusion / inspired theme that caters to mainland hipster/surfer students from UHM. Good hangout / study area, plenty of space, and i think wifi was free. Service is friendly. For food, the lox bagel and cubano sandwish was good. Cold brew was okay, though their standard hot coffee was not bad. Price is comparable to other coffee shops in the area. Place is slowly getting busier on certain days and times. Good luck."
