Inspection summary

Honolulu Coffee - W 41st has been inspected 21 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since January 30, 2017. The most recent inspection, on February 24, 2026, found no infractions.

5 of 21 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 3 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Pests and Food temperature control.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 16 times across 11 separate inspections, most recently on February 12, 2026. For example: The premises and all equipment, utensils, and food contact surfaces are maintained in good condition and used in a manner that ensures safe and sanitary food handling.

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded 7 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on December 12, 2023. For example: The premises is free of pests.

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on December 12, 2023. For example: Potentially hazardous food is at a refrigerated temperature that keeps it safe to eat.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on November 28, 2023. For example: Food is handled in a sanitary manner and is not subject to contamination.

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 28, 2023. For example: Each employee demonstrates good personal hygiene and washes their hands as often as necessary to prevent the contamination of food.

    Best service I’ve ever experienced in a café! ​The first thing you notice is how bright and airy the space is, thanks to the massive floor-to-ceiling windows. The natural lighting is incredible. There are plenty of greens throughout the shop—though, if I’m being picky, I wish they were real plants instead of artificial ones to match the fresh vibe. ​I opted for the Island Breakfast Tea instead of coffee, and I was pleasantly surprised when it was served with a proper teapot and teacup. For a coffee shop, this level of presentation is rare and made the experience feel like a lovely little ritual. ​What truly sets this place apart, however, is the service. Everyone is so genuinely friendly. Even a barista I wasn't interacting with caught my eye and gave a warm smile and nod. Truly impeccable service—the best I’ve encountered in any café. Highly recommended!

    I tried the coffee and the Aloha Bowl at Honolulu Coffee in Kerrisdale, and both were extremely good. The place was clean, welcoming, and had a nice atmosphere. There was a bit of a wait, but it was definitely worth it. I would recommend this spot to anyone, and I’ll definitely be coming back again.

    The staff was very nice. The pastries were beautiful. We had the Strawberry croissant which was super yummy and light. We had the Hawaiian Latte (macadamia nut & coconut) which was a nice flavor combo. We also had a mocha with oat milk. Both drinks were standard good coffees, nothing mindblowing. Overall, this was a nice experience. Thank you, Honolulu Coffee!☕️
