Hawai'i's Best Restaurants

	2006 'ILIMA AWARD WINNER - BEST COFFEE BAR: PEOPLE'S CHOICE
	Every year, Advertiser readers are asked to vote for their favorite restaurants in the 'Ilima Awards poll. Meanwhile, our in-house food experts debate to select the critics' choice 'Ilimas, primarily focused on restaurants recently reviewed or revisited. With a few exceptions, categories change each year to keep readers interested and keep the winner list fresh.

BEST COFFEE BAR: PEOPLE'S CHOICE
Starbucks

The company that taught us that espresso doesn't have an "x" continues to gather 'Ilima laurels because their barristas are well-trained and fast (name one other place where a long line doesn't deter you), the coffee's good and ... well, they're everywhere! They're everywhere!
