These spots serve strong coffee alongside full brunch menus made for lingering.
Tucked into the sloping avenues of Kaimukī, The Curb is more than just a coffee shop—it’s a local ritual. Nestled on Waiʻalae Avenue in a modest storefront, The Curb’s unassuming presence belies the devotion it commands from neighborhood regulars and curious travelers alike. Step inside and you’re met with the low hum of conversation, the whir of espresso machines, and the comforting aroma of small-batch coffee beans roasted to precision. The space is simple, thoughtful, and efficient, where each detail—from the locally sourced pastries to the rotating roster of artisanal beans—reflects a commitment to quality over flash.
