Coffee 101

What's in the cup?

Coffee names mean different things around the world. Here's exactly what you'll get when you order each drink from us.

Looking for a regular cup of coffee?

Order Drip Coffee. An Americano is espresso mixed with hot water. It's similar in strength but tastes bolder and roastier.

Drip Coffee

드립 커피 · ドリップコーヒー Brewed coffee

Hot water dripped slowly through ground coffee. This is the "regular coffee" Americans mean when they say "a cup of coffee." Light-bodied and easy to drink.

Cortado

코르타도 · コルタード Espresso + equal steamed milk

A double shot of espresso cut with an equal amount of warm steamed milk and very little foam. Small, smooth and strong, between an espresso and a flat white.

Double Espresso

더블 에스프레소 · ダブルエスプレッソ 2 shots

Also called a doppio. Twice the coffee, same small cup. Every espresso drink on our menu starts from shots pulled by hand.

Americano

아메리카노 · アメリカーノ Espresso + hot water

Espresso topped with hot water. Similar strength to drip coffee but a different taste: bolder and roastier. Not the same as drip. Also great iced.

Flat White

플랫 화이트 · フラットホワイト Espresso + velvety milk

Espresso with a smaller amount of silky steamed milk and a very thin layer of foam. Comes in an 8 ounce cup. Stronger coffee flavor than a latte. A favorite with Australians and Kiwis.

Cappuccino

카푸치노 · カプチーノ Espresso + milk + thick foam

Espresso with steamed milk and a deep cap of airy foam. Lighter and foamier than a latte.

Latte

카페 라떼 · カフェラテ Espresso + lots of milk

Espresso with plenty of steamed milk and a thin layer of foam. Smooth and mellow. Add any flavor, like macadamia or coconut.

Mocha

카페 모카 · カフェモカ Espresso + chocolate + milk

A latte with added chocolate. Choose from classic mocha or white chocolate mocha if you want something sweeter.

Iced Latte

아이스 라떼 · アイスカフェラテ Espresso + cold milk + ice

Espresso poured over cold milk and ice. Our most popular way to drink coffee in the Waikiki heat.

Cold Brew

콜드브루 · コールドブリュー Steeped cold, 12+ hours

Coffee grounds steeped in cold water for more than 12 hours, then served over ice. Bold, smooth, chocolatey, and less bitter. Try it with coconut sweet cream.

Matcha Latte

말차 라떼 · 抹茶ラテ Green tea + milk

Stone-ground Japanese green tea whisked and layered with milk. Earthy and lightly sweet.

No coffee Iced

Chai Latte

차이 라떼 · チャイラテ Spiced tea + milk

Black tea with warm spices like cinnamon, anise, and cardamom, mixed with milk. Try our Macadamia Chai, the drink guests re-order most.

Meet the owner

Aloha, I'm Kristen.

I opened the first Coffee Window on Kuhio Ave in January 2025 with a simple idea: visitors shouldn't have to give up a chunk of their vacation to get a really great cup of coffee. Short wait times and Aloha service. 

Our second window opened in February 2026. Same promise at both: fast, friendly and delicious. Come say hello!

“Our go-to for great coffee three days in a row. Easily the best coffee we had in Hawaii. Lovely, friendly team too.”

Visitor review

“Our favorite coffee in Waikiki. Highly recommend the lattes and cold brews. This is what the locals actually drink in the morning.”
