has just opened their first North American location (outside of Hawaii, that is), and lucky for us, it's the latest addition to the vibrant Vancouver coffee scene. Located at 888 Nelson Street, the new cafe is ideal for escaping grey clouds and bring a little aloha into your day. The store officially opens today (June 30) and offers both Kona and Maui coffee. For those who haven't tried Kona coffee beans, your taste buds will thank you. On top of this, they will also be serving their signature Hawaiian latte: a delicious blend of coconut, macadamia, espresso and milk. (Thank goodness, it's also available in iced form for those hot, sunny days.) Alongside the incredible coffee, expect sweet surprises such as chocolate covered espresso beans, açai bowls and Hawaiian inspired foods such as the Lilikoi matcha mousse.
