9bar Hnl

Stopped by 9Bar HNL in the morning to hang out with a friend and really enjoyed it! I got an iced latte and a blueberry cream cheese scone. The scone wasn’t too sweet, just right, and had a nice texture. The latte was delicious and well-made, and I appreciated that they offer lots of syrup flavors and milk alternatives to customize your drink. The cashier was super friendly and kind, which made the visit even better. The ambiance was great: bright, modern, and welcoming. It was definitely busy and a bit crowded when we went, and there weren’t any seats available inside, but we managed to find a spot outside to sit and chat. Overall, such a nice local café to grab coffee, relax, and catch up with friends. I’ll definitely be back!

Super 'ono big warm scones (and they do have some savory options!) that are properly light and moist with a crisp exterior, and their black sesame iced latte is so delicious- deeply nutty and not too sweet with the characteristic graininess of finely ground sesame, and I love that particular mouthfeel. Would love to try other scone flavors- today just got the cream cheese and peach!

Everyone here is amazing. The staff are super nice and will not only remember who you are but what you order. Kristin, Monica, and Zach always talk to me when I come in. The espresso is always perfect whether it's a normal latte or a specialty one. Sometimes they even have seasonal drinks. They had a black forest latte that was out of this world. The scuffins are also all great. My favorite is the bacon and cheese one, but the everything bagel is awesome as well. The chocolate macadamia is my favorite sweet version. Their bakers are very consistent! The giant cookies are delicious as well. This place is definitely worth walking 30m past Starbucks for infinitely better coffee and pastries.
