Arvo Cafe

I visited Arvo Coffee Shop in Honolulu and had a fresh green salad along with an amazing cold drink and a latte. Everything was delicious, and I enjoyed it so much! The staff were super nice, friendly, and really helpful in guiding me to choose the right things. Sending love from Vancouver, Canada 💕 Hope to see you all again soon!

ARVO at SALT is such a vibe. I’m already planning my next visit! I ordered the matcha latte with lavender and it was tasty. I especially enjoyed the latte art on top. It was so cute- almost felt too pretty to drink! I found the price of their matcha latte to very reasonable compared to other places in the Honolulu area. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating an inviting atmosphere from the moment I walked up. The outdoor seating area has the perfect vibe. It’s stylish- filled with plants and benches/ tables with cute boho-chic umbrellas. This is the ideal place to relax and enjoy your drink. I also noticed some people had their laptops out and we’re getting a little work done. If you’re looking for good vibes and friendly service, ARVO is definitely worth the stop.

I tried Arvo once in my neighborhood Waikiki. First time here in Kakaako! I enjoyed my Iced latte. I usually check out a coffee shop's website to learn more about the espresso beans used and overall vibe. The staff were upbeat during their afternoon rush and customers took their time enjoying their food. Arvo teas looked refreshing! I think they are a solid option in Taste and prices are good too.

I was very disappointed with my experience. I waited 25 minutes just to get my coffee cake warmed up. What made it worse was that people who came in after me and were dining in got served first. It felt like takeout customers weren’t a priority at all. I understand things can get busy, but this kind of service is frustrating — especially for something as simple as warming a pastry. I expected better organization and fairness.

I really wanted to love Arvo Café, but unfortunately my first visit was underwhelming. I ordered a matcha, two of their food items (the avocado toast and smoked salmon toast), plus a slice of banana bread. Everything looked nice when served, but the flavors just didn’t stand out — nothing felt particularly special or memorable. The matcha especially was a letdown, lacking the richness I was hoping for. That being said, I do want to give this place another chance. The vibe is cute, and I know some spots just require finding the right drink or dish. I’ll be back to try something different next time, especially since I love the Salt District and was excited to see what Arvo had to offer.

Stopped for an iced matcha as a treat on a hot day. It was perfect and such a cute little spot. Cheaper (and better) than Starbucks too! I’ll have to try some food next time. I got the iced lavender matcha with whole milk.

We ordered a large cold brew and a strawberry guava mint iced tea to go. Both drinks were great tasting!

Stylish, Delicious, and Effortlessly Cool – A Must-Visit in Honolulu Arvo Café is one of those places that feels like it was made for slow mornings and good conversations. Tucked into the trendy SALT at Kakaʻako, it blends Aussie café 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. The avocado toast (a classic!) is beautifully presented and full of flavor, often topped with extras like feta or radish for a fresh twist. 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. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience feel warm and laid-back. Five stars — for the coffee, the vibe, and the beautiful attention to detail. Arvo is easily one of my favorite cafés in Honolulu.

I wish I could give them 10 stars. Vibe - STUNNING Service - they feel like friends and ALWAYS have a positive attitude and smile Food/Drink - DELISH Halloumi burger 10/10 Soy matcha 10/10 Obsessed and sometimes I can spend a few hours doing some work with the great vibes there

Super cute, pretty tasty, a little pricey but immaculate vibes and beautiful presentation. Seating can get really crowded. Specifically writing this review because of the nuisance of the flies and birds. Overall good. Charcoal oat milk latte was good. Avocado toast was beautiful and huge. Nice to treat yourself sometimes

This cute little coffee shop offers a lovely outdoor setting, though seating is somewhat limited, especially on rainy days when covered spots are in high demand. Despite the weather, the experience was enjoyable. The lavender drink is a highlight--flavorful and customizable for those who prefer less sweetness. The guy working behind the counter was super nice and helpful, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere. One downside is the parking situation, as it requires payment, which can be inconvenient if staying to eat, chat, and relax. Overall, it's a great spot for unique drinks and friendly service, perfect for a quick coffee break if you're okay with the parking hassle.

I love Arvo ever since the peak tumblr avo toast days. Nowadays I rec ppl must absolutely try the matcha chia seed pudding it's kinda pricey at $12 but it's sooooo good and so filling. Such a slay in presentation. Got the matcha latte and a ombré lemonade for my kids they love mixing it to change the colors haha

Love Arvo and the staff. Iced Chai Tea and Egg Salad was delicious! Food is fresh and drinks are refreshing. Love the outdoor patio and open air lounge area.

Arvo has such a great vibe and lively ambiance! Love coming here with friends to hangout. The drinks are decent but def a great place if you want good aesthetics

Cute spot, food was delicious, but coffee wasn't my favorite! It was my first time trying this spot & my first impression was that it's a nice spot to chill at! They have a small seating area with umbrellas providing some shade. I ordered the loaded avocado toast (added smoked salmon) and the matcha chia pudding. Both dishes were soooo delicious and filling (large portions)!!! It's funny because I'm still learning to love matcha but I surprisingly LOVED the matcha whip on the matcha chia pudding, it was good!! I also tried their iced vanilla latte. It was okay, but I've had better coffee elsewhere. Although the food was good, the coffee wasn't great, it's a small spot, and I probably wouldn't come back again, so I'll rate this place 3 stars. But it's a good place to try at least once or to take cute pictures at!

Food is always delish here! Last time I ate here, they were on the outside of the Kakaako Village but this spot on the inside is much more visible and I love the tables and seating area. Walked right up and ordered my usual and it tastes even better on the toasted bread versus a bagel. Capers galore just like I like it! Counter service was quick and associates were helpful answering our questions.

Loved this cafe! The matcha chia pudding is ELITE!!! The baristas were so nice too. We told them we were visiting from San Diego and they gave us a sticker, and asked about our travel plans. The salmon toast was amazing too and a huge portion

My friend had a meeting nearby so I walked over to SALT to get some coffee. I wasn't going to eat as I was trying to pick up coffee from another place but when I walked by Arvo and saw the amazing toasts they offered, I had to get one too. I ordered a smoked salmon toast and grabbed a table nearby to get some work done. There are quite a bit of tables to eat from and since it was early in the morning, it was relatively quiet with some soft music in the background. The girl at the counter was really nice and quick with my order. The toast is AMAZING. The bread itself was thick and toasty and slathered with a thick layer of cream cheese and then topped with some spinach, smoked salmon, capers, and purple onions. It's a simple meal but every bite was perfect! I was thoroughly happy with my meal. I'm definitely recommending this place to all my friends and i'll definitely be back again if i'm in the area!

Love everything I ordered!!! Avocado toast was my favorite. Arvo staff always nice and sweet. You will fall in love with the vibes you get from Arvo Cafe. Overall 5|5

The salmon toast. OMG. I had it twice on our trip. And try to go every year. Taste hasn't wavered. I tried a salad this time as well and definitely haven't found anything about the place to complain about yet!

Always consistently good, especially with their presentation of food. They are a little pricey for toast but its always loaded and very aesthetic. There is only outdoor seating, some areas with umbrellas for shade.

Favorite little coffee shop for the best lavender matcha ever. Staff are always really friendly here. One thing I wish was that there is an option to do no ice but top off the drink. When I ask for light ice I always feel like it takes up more than half of the drink. Also wished in the future a loyalty reward program would be created. Add on up charge for nondairy milks and flavorings/syrups. Another suggestion is to create a larger size- I always finish my drink and keep wanting more. Seating is limited because it tends to get very crowded in the AM. This place also closes @ 2 pm! * a second location in Waikiki just opened- they serve all drinks but just no food items*

One of the best matcha lattes I had while in Honolulu!! Also loved their ice tea. Highly recommend.

Packaging is beautiful, but personally a little overpriced. The honey with the toast was so good though! I would come back again for the ambiance because this seems like a really nice, trendy spot! More like brunch vibes over studying tho. i heard the avocado toast and matcha chia pudding is good, so i cant wait to try!

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.

Upon visiting Arvo Cafe in Kaka'ako, I was impressed by the cozy atmosphere and delicious offerings. The loaded avocado toast, packed with arugula, local cherry tomatoes, feta, smoked salmon, and creamy avocado, was a standout dish. Additionally, the ricotta toast, adorned with house-made ricotta, fresh fruit, and honey, was a delightful treat for the taste buds. While the wait times, especially on Sunday mornings, can be a bit lengthy, the cafe's covered seating areas provide a comfortable refuge. The staff were warm and welcoming, enhancing the overall dining experience. Overall, Arvo Cafe is a charming spot for small bites and coffee in Kaka'ako, deserving of a solid four-star rating. With slight improvements in wait times, it could easily earn a higher rating.

1000% yes. Avocado toast added salmon and it was massive and SUPER DUPER YUM, but be careful..she can be messy...lol. Dont order that if you cant get down and big back! Matcha Latte with Oatmilk was finesse and really unbeatable. I cant wait to go back, and yes its worth getting up/out of your car and walk in the hot humidity. We need these kinds of places on the Ewa/Kapolei side! Or are there some?

Arvo happened to be near the place we were staying for vacation and i'm so glad it was! We came here for breakfast and got the Meatballs and Toast ($14.50), Egg Salad Toast ($11), Nutella Toast ($11), and Loaded Avocado Toast ($12.50). I was a little skeptical thinking that Arvo is only popular because it's an aesthetic cafe but everything was honestly delicious. The bread is the perfect thickness and the toppings are so fresh. There wasn't anything I didn't enjoy and it felt like the perfect way to start the day. I would definitely come give Arvo a try! I do think it's a little expensive, but the ingredients feel high quality and extremely fresh.

A quaint little take out place with some outdoor seating. It's located in SALT so there's lots of other outdoor seating throughout the complex. The menu is limited so I decided to try their meatless, halloumi burger. It came on a brioche bun with arugula, avocado, tomato and red onion. It was delicious! The homemade aioli and tomato jam was a nice touch to the burger. It tasted like a lighter meat burger with not as much fat. Grilled nicely, tasty and good texture. The burger was served with kettle style green onion potato chips. The two goes well together. And for $14, I'll definitely go back for this burger. The service was accurate and about right,, considering it was lunchtime. I did have an iced tea, which you get fairly quickly, so the wait seemed less. Nice place for a healthy lunch that won't put you to sleep if you have to go back to work.

I went here to meet up with some friends and we all enjoyed the food and drinks Arvo had to offer. I got an avocado toast and chai latte and both were delicious! Service was quick and the exterior of the cafe was beautiful and simple! I also love how easy it was to find the location. There's a parking garage at Salt so there's usually no need to stress when it comes to looking for parking! Highly recommend checking out Arvo Café! The vibes were immaculate!

A little bit of a wait but everything was very decently priced and delicious. One of the better matches I had in Hawaii and great for a quick snack- the place is cute and the service was great.

Went on a Sunday afternoon, surprisingly not too busy at the time. Ordered the Nutella toast and the Smoked Salmon toast with the Matcha Chia Pudding. I was worried the bread was going to be hard, but I could bite into it easily and the flavors blended well. The star of the show was the Matcha Chia Pudding! It didn't feel too "matcha-y", so if you're not a fan of matcha it's worth a try. It comes with fruit. I would just personally prefer less pineapple. Loved the overall vibe with the picnic benches and umbrellas. Totally different set up than the other surrounding restaurants, but it fits the overall consumer population they are going for. I would definitely come back!

I tried Arvo's salmon toast and a latte. The salmon toast was great -- well-portioned and tasty. The latte was okay, but I felt that it tried to be too complicated in terms of flavor -- and ultimately the latte was not that great as a result. All that said, Arvo is worth a stop for coffee and lunch.

Really cute spot with yummy toasts and coffee. I got the egg salad toast last time and enjoyed it.

Arvo is the definition of good vibes only! This adorable outdoor Aussie inspired cafe lives in the heart of Salt Kakaako serving up incredible coffee and delicious brunch items. Arvo and their team have created such an inspiring and creative community with their cafe culture, and it's truly such a special place to enjoy the sunshine and savor great drinks and food. The service is wonderful and this is a local female owned business that we've loved to support over the years. Our favorite items are the loaded avocado toast, meatballs and toast, matcha chia pudding, cold brew, and lavender latte. Have a good ARVO!

The matcha chia pudding is not as good as I had last time. Fruits don't look too fresh especially the pineapple. Service was okay from male cashier but female barista don't answer you, I wanted to retrieve my chia pudding and try to ask if I can take it, the barista look up and continue to make coffee. Then the barista saw and push the food over and maintain taking order at the same time. I probably won't be bad after today's visit.

Arvo located in the center of SALT at Kaka'ako has a beautiful scenery that attract a lot of tourists from around the world. When I come to ARVO, I typically get their nutella toast, smoked salmon toast, and an iced mocha or iced chocoal latte. Service is typically quick with drinks coming out first and food following. There is free water found in the inside of the shop, and there is easy breezy parking. My only complaint is their coffee. It isnt very strong, and majority of the taste comes from just the milk. I typically skip out on the drinks unless I need some caffeine in me. Personally, I enjoy their smoked salmon toast the best.

Whenever I'm in Honolulu i always make sure to come eat at arvo. Their smoked salmon and Nutella toast are so tasty. I in the past have added a poached egg on the smoked salmon and it was so delicious

While the food is aesthetically pleasing, I'm not sure it's entirely worth the price. However, the customer service is excellent (shoutout to Hayden, who is super sweet, funny, and friendly!). The outdoor ambiance is also wonderful, especially on a sunny day in Hawaii nei!

The food was top tier, the service was iconic. Im a huge fav of avo toast and lox bagel and they do both well. If you love a small menu arvo is for u.

First off Jay and gabby were an absolute pleasure. Jay was so personable and very helpful!!! I ended up getting the egg salad toast, the ricotta berry toast and two coffees. So the toasts are 5 stars all the way!!! The coffees though weren't very good. I got a vanilla latte and the rose latte and tbh I could barely taste the rose or the vanilla. I had asked them to make it extra pretty for me for the gram however the drinks weren't the best. I love the cute seating outdoors and there is one small indoor table, love the cute details of the flowers on the table it really adds a special touch as you can see I did a full on photo shoot. LOL. All in all my favorite spot to eat on the island. I highly recommend it. Lots of great shops to check out after you eat here. Prices are reasonable and service by Jay was fantastic. Would recommend. The toasts were freaking delicious, I came back home and made the same thing but theirs was better. :(

Absolutely adore this sweet local coffee shop with gorgeous food and beautiful people working here! Had a tasty oat milk latte and ube mochi. Also admired the gorgeous chia pudding, Nutella toast, and egg toasted- which looked delicious. Tons of outdoor seating. Calming vintage music and great vibes. I'll be back!

Amazing. They have toasts and coffee, teas, and some sweet treats. We tried the avocado toast, egg toast salad, and the ricotta. They were all delicious. They are spread on top of a thick toast of sourdough and was perfect. I got the matcha and it was not too sweet, I could taste the matcha. The service was also wonderful ! There's lots of seating outside and the ambiance was so cute

A Must-Try Spot! During our visit from Los Angeles, we discovered a coffee spot that left us craving more. From our first sip of iced matcha to our last bite of Nutella toast, every visit was a treat. The cozy location, friendly service, and delicious offerings, like the avocado toast, ice chai tea, smoked salmon toast, and the star... Nutella toast!, made it a standout experience. Whether you're in need of caffeine or a tasty snack, this spot delivers. We highly recommend it for a memorable coffee experience.

We were excited to visit Arvo because it has every millennial's dream-Instagram worthy interior, color scheme, and simple food and drinks you could not possibly not like! We ended up ordering the: Egg Salad Toast Matcha Latte Lavender Latte We had requested the drinks to be served in ceramics to be more eco friendly as well but that went out the door because we ended up with paper branded Arvo cups. Given the nice weather, the umbrellas and picnic tables are very fitting. While the egg salad toast and dill pickles were good, it was very unsettling when we found hair (sadly not mine) in our food which leads me to think it's not the cleanest here. I feel like this isn't the first time this has happened at Arvo, however the branding is probably outweighs this experience. I wouldn't come back given the lack of cleanliness for their food, but would try their latte!

Great little breakfast spot. Food was great, I got the lox and it was fantastic. Plenty of parking.

GIRL BREAKFAST Good spot to try at least one as it is more of a novelty. I feel that menu was overpriced considering it was just arugula or avocado on toast. It is located in SALT Kakaako which does have a paid parking structure, otherwise, you just have to get lucky with street parking. Outdoor seating is limited and first come first served. It was nice that after brunch we were able to check out some of the surrounding local shops.

Arvo is pretty much mid in every category that matters, but the aesthetic was nice? After asking for the drinks to be made to be enjoyed in the cafe, they still served it in the plastic to-go cups, so not great since now it felt like a waste of plastic/cups and apparently the reusable ceramic cups are for show? Unfortunately non-existent latte art on the matcha latte (so actually maybe mid aesthetic as well) and the oat milk overpowered the matcha so it didn't really taste like much The iced lavender latte had such a mild flavor that I wondered if I had just ordered an iced coffee and I imagined the lavender it was so faint The egg toast was okay, just a pretty bland egg salad on bread which you would expect? I did not expect the hair that was in the egg salad, so sufficed to say this was a pretty bad experience and I would recommend making your own toast at home, bringing it and eating it there to take your aesthetic photos

This was my second time coming here with my husband and two kids so we got a few of their dishes: egg salad sandwich, meatball, and nutella. Everything was good and toddler approved. The best part was their bread. I'm still thinking about it. It was the perfect crisp and softness and made each of the dishes 10x better. The ambiance was great given that its outdoors and the weather was perfect for the early mornings. They have shade umbrellas plus an indoor area so its great they have options. Service wise, they were extremely friendly. Although my egg salad took a bit longer than usual, I was still content with all the food. Looking forward to returning.

Everyone one is nice. Seating is outside with tables and picnic tables with umbrellas. I had the smoked salmon toast and matcha latte, and both were amazing.

Cool place and good food and drinks. I got charcoal ice latte and smoked salmon toast. Both food and drink were great. Their bread was awesome. I loved the place and I wish my dogs were with me here.

Arvo's cafe is nestled in Kaka'ako with plenty of outdoor dining tables. They offer great breakfast options, but my favorite of course has to be their avocado toast. Visually stunning and full of flavor, it's the perfect start to your day if you stop by Kaka'ako and are looking for that perfect pep in your step - Miguel Morales Photography

Amazing if you like coffee aesthetics for your IG, this is the place to be. Food was amazing I enjoyed the egg salad sandwich and the salmon sandwich. Lavender latte is very pretty with the rose petals on top. It's a cute coffee shop. If you're visiting Hawaii, make sure this place goes on your list.

Was my matcha parfait tasty? It was okay Was it aesthetically pleasing? Yes Is it worth $10? Not in this economy I may stick to a coffee order next time as the vibes are cute.

Came back here after awhile and honestly it's still really good! The Charcoal latte tasted just as I remembered, it has the perfect amount of sweetness and bitterness from the coffee. As for the Smoked Salmon toast, it still tasted just as good! They definitely changed the bread and it's much more thicker, but still good. Overall, very filling meal, the staff was nice, and food came out really fast! I wouldn't mind coming back again once in awhile since it's a little $$!

The food was very tasty and the portions were generous. They were beautifully presented as well. It was a very trendy location with nice outdoor seating. I'll definitely be going there again!

The matcha whipped cream, that's all! I get the avocado toast and acai bowl with this magical whipped cream, these are my go to menu items always. This cafe is situated in SALT right in the middle with outdoor seating. It's such a cute spot with delicious food and coffee. Definitely a must try when you're in Kaka'ako! Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming :-)
