WAIKIKI, Hawaii (Island News) — Takagi Coffee, a Japanese kissaten-style caf\u00e9, is opening its pop up in Tsurutontan in Waikiki on Thursday for a month full of matcha, souffl\u00e9 pancakes and more.<\/p>\n

Takagi Coffee is opening on Thursday morning, Aug. 11, 2026, at the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki. The first location in Hawaii \u2014 with other caf\u00e9s in Japan and Los Angeles \u2014 offers Japanese-style food and beverages including matcha, lattes, souffl\u00e9 pancakes, katsu sando and other ono desserts and dishes.<\/p>\n

Starting at 10 a.m. on Thursday, the cafe will begin the rollout of the pop up with the first 60 customers welcome each day. The pop up is expected to be open for a month in the heart of Waikiki.<\/p>\n

To find Takagi Coffee, Tsurutontan is located in Building B of the Royal Hawaiian Center at level 3, B-305. When entering the Japanese restaurant, you\u2019ll notice a white curtain that says Takagi Coffee to your left. The secluded area for the caf\u00e9 offers a cozy ambience to enjoy even cozier treats and drinks.<\/p>\n

The menu includes a mango and strawberry matcha \u2014 where you are served a cup with the fruit and cream, paired with a silver pitcher to pour the matcha inside and mix. Noteworthy to Takagi Coffee are the \u201cpaffles\u201d which are three souffl\u00e9 pancakes prepared in a taco style with six different fruits to choose from as the filling.<\/p>\n

The matcha souffl\u00e9 pancakes were another standout dessert, covered in a pool of matcha that each soft bite of pancake soaks up the rich green tea flavor. On the savory side, the katsu sando comes with crispy chicken which is pillowed by bread and light cabbage slaw.<\/p>\n
