Cafe Event Testimonials

The Collective Cafe, whether during daytime operating hours or during the evening, provides an outstanding space for lectures, group meetings, or special events.

See these testimonials:

Julia B., Owner, Miana Macrame — “The Collective is a dreamy space for creating, learning, and community. To be able to get people together to make art (in my case, macrame necklaces and bracelets) has been so fulfilling for me as an artist, and I loved doing my workshop in the cafe — to be able to share my art with other creative individuals. In the midst of all the hustle and bustle of today’s world, I believe it is so increasingly important to make an intentional space for creation and imagination, where ideas can be manifested and where the joy of making art can be shared with others. The Collective makes this all possible.”

R. S., Local Board President — “We held a small group meeting at The Collective on a Sunday and the five of us enjoyed the space; the music, food, and atmosphere were terrific for our meeting.”

Sabrina Ito, Author of poetry chapbooks, Messages from Salt Water and The Witches of Lila Springs — “The Collective was the perfect venue for my poetry book launch. Comfortable, artsy and eclectic, the seating area comfortably accommodated close to thirty guests. The food was delicious and the service was very accommodating. I would definitely book here again!”

A.W., Regional Advisor, Hawaii Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators — “The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators hosted one of our monthly in person gatherings at The Collective Cafe. The staff went out of their way to be very accommodating. They helped to shape a comfortable meeting area where our members could interact with each other and share children’s books. We also enjoying the delicious food, drinks and desserts that the Collective Cafe has to offer. We look forward to coming back again for another event!”

In addition to these distinctive sessions, we have hosted over a dozen comedy nights, art workshops, a dinner cabaret show, and musical performances.
