I heard about your cafe from a local woman who, despite my lack of experience, is obsessed with your charcoal latte. We stopped to enjoy the sight. And the flavor that we got was an enjoyable delight. Given that I purely enjoy strong, black coffee, I felt that the latte was a little too sweet. still pleasant. The cuisine was also rather good. I hope to see better quality products yet.
While galavanting through Honolulu, we stumbled across Arvo Cafe. A cute little cafe located in a busy shopping center. The ambiance was very tranquil with the business offering both an indoor and outdoor experience. The menu was fun with great-looking drinks and food options. They also had a special menu. As one of their specialty drinks was catching my eye, I had to retract and go with their charcoal latte. Can you believe, I have NEVER had a charcoal latte before. Since I was in Hawaii, I figured this would be the best time to try it. I’m glad I did! It was great! The color was fun and it was definitely giving. It was delicious! I'm glad I went for it.
My breakfast place before work after a morning swim at Ala Moana. The food and coffee are great. The people working here are quite friendly. Nice to sit in the shade in the courtyard relaxing, sipping a latte - getting ready for the day.
On a beautiful sunny morning, this place is a vibe. But with a walk-up counter and about 2 seats total in the interior, there's not much to be done if the weather's not favoring you. That being said if the weather is good and you're looking for a charming place for a brunch, or even just a cup of coffee with friends, this is such a charming little place. Recommend the charcoal latte.
We ordered a large cold brew and a strawberry guava mint iced tea to go. Both drinks were great tasting!
I love Arvo. It’s completely worth the hype. The meatball toast and the ricotta toast is so delicious. The secret of this place is their bread, it is so delicious and crunchy. Their matcha latte is always delicious, perfect amount of matcha and milk. The space is really beautiful, it gives European outdoor seating vibes. I really recommend! It’s on the more expensive side for breakfast but it’s worth it.

Tucked into the trendy SALT at Kakaʻako, it blends Aussie cafe culture with island vibes — and does it flawlessly. The coffee is top-notch — smooth, well-balanced, and crafted with care. Whether you’re into flat whites, matcha lattes, or cold brew, Arvo gets it right.

Other light bites, like their ricotta toast or smoked salmon options, are equally tasty and Instagram-worthy. Beyond the food and drinks, the aesthetic is what really sets Arvo apart. Think minimalist design, lots of greenery, and a calm, airy atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where locals and visitors alike gather to recharge, read, or just enjoy a really good coffee.
