Walking Bean Cafe (Coffee, Shaved Ice, Dessert)
Welcome to Walking Bean Cafe, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Kapahulu, Honolulu, where the comforting aroma of rich coffee mingles beautifully with tantalizing desserts and refreshing shaved ice. This cafe is not just a stop for a caffeine fix; it's a delightful experience that captures the essence of local flavors meeting vibrant atmosphere.
The ambiance at Walking Bean is charmingly boutique-style, reminiscent of the chic cafes found throughout Asia. Jewel Tominaga describes it as a “fresh and updated but cozy” environment, perfectly suitable for everything from a casual coffee catch-up to a serene study session. With five cozy tables and complimentary WiFi, every visit feels like a welcome escape. Plus, the convenience of free parking in the back means you won’t have to worry about navigating the busy streets.
When it comes to the menu, coffee lovers are in for a treat. Start your day with a velvety classic or matcha affogato, priced between $7.25 and $10.50, or awaken your taste buds with their meticulously crafted coffees, including a beautifully layered vanilla latte. The matcha options stand out, as noted by satisfied patrons like Ada Benson, who emphasizes the quality of their matcha powder.
But that’s just the beginning. Walking Bean Cafe is also famous for its shaved ice, an essential indulgence in Honolulu's warm weather. The “sunny side up” shaved ice, described by Shelley Turner, is a must-try. It's a bright and fresh delight that combines fruitiness with the unique texture of an egg, drizzled with decadent coconut cream. If you fancy something else, the Oreo fountain shaved ice is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth without overwhelming your palate, making it an ideal refreshment on a warm day. Caleb Balisacan raves about the perfect balance of sweetness in these treats, making them ideal for sharing - or not!
Don’t miss the dessert options either! The cafe offers an array of enticing tofu puddings in flavors like matcha and ube for just $4.00 each, or splurge on their infamous pre-order Basque cheesecake, which is rich in flavor and beautifully crafted. Available in various sizes and with thoughtful choices for gift wrapping and candles, this cheesecake is perfect for celebrations or a well-earned treat for yourself. As Ross Haycock found, the quaint cafe atmosphere makes it a lovely place to savor these delights!
With a strong commitment to quality and a genuine passion for coffee and dessert, Walking Bean Cafe invites you to indulge in a cozy and delightful experience. As Sarah Szulborski eloquently states, “Every time we come here, the service, drinks & sweets are amazing!” So, whether you're seeking a cozy corner to unwind, catch up with friends, or relish a quality dessert, Walking Bean Cafe should be your next stop in Honolulu.
