Kapiolani Coffee Shop was first opened by Wataru Teruya, a World War II Veteran, in the 1950s. The first restaurant opened where the Hawai’i Convention Center now resides. Wataru Teruya retired and sold the company in 1986. Kapiolani Coffee Shop moved to Kam Bowl and again in the early 2000s to Waimalu Shopping Center in Aiea. The company was passed down to the current owner, Lucena Kashiwabara, and continues to sell old but classic local favorites and of course, the “Famous Oxtail Soup.”
