Maleko Coffee and Pastries

Great place! People were super friendly, coffee was great and a huge selection of fresh pastries! Bear claw was delicious. Must try!

The only reason why I'm giving two starts is because the first time I went there, a very lovely woman helped me with my order. Today, a very rude man got my order, and when I asked what was in a sandwich, he not only didn't answer my question but also asked where my accent was from. After I said that I'm originally from Brazil, he said a word in Spanish (we were talking in English the whole time). I told him that I don't speak Spanish (in Brazil we speak Portuguese) and he said "but aren't you all the same"? - which was a very racist and ignorant comment to make.
After I repeated that I didn't speak Spanish and that he could speak English with me, he said that he could not help me and left me without explaining what was on the sandwich.

I was originally planning on going there everyday while in Honolulu, but today was definitely my last day.

Updating my review due to response from the owner. Looks like the masaladas are actually fully vegan! Wish there was better marking, but it’s super cool that this local cafe has vegan masaladas (aside from the custard one). Really difficult to find vegan malasadas, so highly recommend you get one here. The guava one was a delight. Thank you to the owner for responding and making these!

We had a delicious breakfast every morning at this place! The croissant was the best I have ever had!!! Coupled with friendly customer service, this place is to go for breakfast! Highly recommend!

The food isn't bad but the guy is racist so I definitely would not recommend, especially if you have an accent. I find amusing how people that don't event speak their own language well feel comfortable commenting on other people's abilities.

Tourists: Get your food somewhere else!

Moist and flaky cream cheese danishes, delicious coffee, fair prices. I got breakfast here three days in a row, great service and yummy food everytime. Worth the stop.

Brown sugar boba was way too sweet and I had to discard it not being able to drink it. My husband got a cappuccino and had to keep adding extra shots of espresso because it started off as just milk.

Very nice coffee and pastry selection at this small shop. Enjoyed the home made fudge. Service was quick and friendly.

the cutest most perfect local coffee shop right across the road from our hotel that was my saving grace on multiple mornings when most other cafes are closed. small inside but packed with local baked goods and the cold brew is absolute fire 🤌🏼💥🙌🏼 employees are friendly. 10/10 would recommend.

Not a bad coffee shop considering it’s tucked into a little corner of a hotel or mall. There was a good selection of drinks and food. I had the bear claw which is my favourite pastry and it was fairly yummy. My only complaint is, it doesn’t seem like these are pastries baked by the coffee shop, this was a bit of a let down as I was looking for a fresh coffee shop. However, would recommend if you are looking for a good cup of coffee and a treat.
