The international coffee brand debuts this week, bringing artisan coffee to the community
HONOLULU (March 25, 2026) – Ward Village, the award-winning destination in the heart of Honolulu to live, shop, dine, and explore, welcomes to the neighborhood Cotti Coffee, a globally inspired coffee brand renowned for blending international flavors with local touches. The new location opened this week and will celebrate its grand opening on March 27, 2026.
“Cotti Coffee takes an artisanal approach to their menu, drawing on coffee traditions from around the world while incorporating local favorites into each store,” said Taylor Herring, general manager of Ward Village. “Their penchant for authenticity makes us certain the community will love Cotti Coffee’s first location in Honolulu at Ward Village.”
With cafés in 28 countries, Cotti Coffee was founded with the vision of uniting people through coffee and emphasizing responsible sourcing, innovative flavors, and meaningful connections—values that align with Ward Village’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and sustainability.
“Our goal is to create an inviting space where customers can enjoy exceptional coffee crafted with care and experience the global flavors that make Cotti Coffee unique—all while embracing the spirit of the local community,” said Jack Zhang, CEO of Hawaii Lucky Group. “We’re thrilled to join Ward Village who has set a standard for environments that are both world-class and truly regional at the same time.”
Combining modern sophistication with a warm, welcoming feel, the interiors were done by Cotti Coffee’s Italian design team. In addition to specialties like their layered Cloud Mousse Lattes, the menu will feature new items exclusive to Ward Village with additional product launches planned for later in the year.
Cotti Coffee in Ward Village will operate Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. To celebrate the grand opening, Cotti Coffee will offer special promotions from March 27-29, 2026.
