Honolulu Coffee Co
I was surprised to find this an actual sit-down and get your coffee in a ceramic cup type place. There are a few too many shoppers milling around and it’s a bit too noisy to call it a relaxing spot yet beats packing oneself into the nearby Starbucks to sip a Venti from a paper [...]
