Best Coffee Shops on Oahu

As I'm sure many of you know by now, I absolutely LOVE coffee. When I travel, I always try out local coffee shops. I have stumbled upon the most amazing people in these shops and, of course, some super delicious coffee.

When I first moved to Hawaii, I set out to find the perfect cup of coffee. In my search, I have discovered some amazing places that often people wouldn't find. So here's my list of the BEST coffee shops on Oahu!
  • Local Joe
It's the only coffee shop on the island where you can put any picture on your latte.





Pretty neat huh? And the coffee is delicous.

If you don't have a picture, you can choose from some they have

Wanderer Bracelets

I'd like to take a moment and tell you guys about an awesome company called Wanderer Bracelets.


I literally always wear mine. If you follow my blog, I'm sure you've seen my bracelets in my pictures.

Each bracelet is hand carved in Bali.



By purchasing a bracelet, you are supporting opportunity for these artists to share their work with the world. Not only that but you are giving them an opportunity to have sustainable work, which allows their families to stay together. If you had the ability to change the lives of over 100 families, wouldn't you want to?



Also, they are fighting against the ivory trade! So you're helping to protect elephants as well!

There are so many different designs available (and more being added constantly), many of which are travel themed! What better way to rep your passion, than by helping others in the process?  There were quite a few new designs added this week and there are more in the process of being added. There's a little something for everyone. They also make amazing gifts!

As always, all opinions are my own.
