Raintree Bakery Coffeehouse — Restaurant in Honolulu

I have brought many friends to this quaint & quiet little oasis of a cafe, but have never written a review. Heard they were closing shop at the end of 2025 so I decided to finally write a review. Owners Elliott & Jerry are very polite, gracious & accommodating hosts. Even though my friends & I are there for a couple of hours, we always looked around to make sure we weren't taking up a valuable table. We visited Raintree mainly for their coffee & baked goods. The 1st time I had their latte, it was uniquely different & delicious. The difference? Organic coffee with quality ingredients. Hard to imagine that would matter, but it does. They got me sold on organic coffee & ingredients. We've tried many of their baked goods, their scones, muffins, lilikoi cheesecake, guava cheesecake, croissants are all so moist & delicious. On our most recent visit, it was getting pretty warm midday & after our coffee & pastry, we wanted something cold to drink. Elliott suggested an iced green with roasted rice tea so we thought, "why not?" We were surprised at the flavor of it & it will be my new "go to" cold drink. It will be sad when they close up shop as we will need to find a new place that has the same quality service, ambience, coffee, tea &...

The moment I walked into the coffeehouse, I was drawn into a wonderful storybook world! I was hungry after my third trimester of pregnancy checkup at Kaiser, so I walked in and casually walked into this place. I became a fan of this coffeehouse the moment I entered! It's like a quiet, magical place in between the hustle and bustle of the city! Plus the staff that showed up were nice older uncles. Very helpful, friendly, and they wear pretty red hats! I wanted the recommended matcha latte, but they were concerned about my pregnancy and suggested the mint iced tea. They served me the mint iced tea first while I was waiting for the turkey panini I ordered for takeout. The coffeehouse is surprisingly spacious and the atmosphere is so quiet and relaxed that the hustle and bustle outside is unthinkable. Each table is decorated with fresh flowers and is clean. I also took out a banana walnut muffin and lilikoi cheesecake. They were all delicious and organic attention to detail! The large muffins were moist and filling! Lilikoi lovers should definitely try this cheesecake! Anyway I love the world view of this place! Now I want to spend some time...

When you are craving coffee or something sweet, near Young st and Pensacola is Raintree bakery Coffeehouse.

It's a quiet place to unplug from town life. You can get something to go but I suggest that you sit down and have the waiter serve you.

If you close your eyes and listen to the old time music, the milk steaming, muffled conversations around you. You can get the feel of being in a European cafe' without the pesky travel nor the odd smell of Europe.

From the preparation of the coffee to the taste of the pastry, everything was spot on. Know that this isn't a corporate coffee house so leave your Starbucks expectations at the door. This is what coffee is meant to be about. It's how it started and the love of coffee it continues, for those with discerning taste.

The deserts were made not just to perfection. They were made with love. If you want to see and experience people that love whether they do then stop in here. I wish they sold that magic I'd take a bag...
