You gotta go in the main entrance, dont worry if you not military affiliated, and go left and walk all the way down the hall and its just before behavior health services. I have been wanting to try this place for a while. They are open when the clinic is open. So M-F till 3 pm and not on fed holidays. We ended up going two days in a row. They have a variety of drinks, and snacks (some from local vendors). The scones and lemon cupcakes are bomb. They also serve lunch though I have yet to try bc I work in PC. They do shut down their oven a little earlier than closing and wont be able to warm up your baked goods but that didnt affect us bc who really cares. I am a black coffee girl but decided it was a waste of money when my hubs and I go on coffee dates to just get black coffee. I had been seeing their Lemon Bar Matcha online and it met the mark. So worth the buzz. My hubs got Cinnamon Crunch Cold Brew. It was good too. On our second visit my husband got the Chocolate Coconut Cold Brew (bc I suggested it bc I really wanted it) and it was way better than what I ended up ordering (what was it... Mango Matcha). Staff is hit or miss but that seems to be true where ever you go so whatevs. I will still return to get more.

It does come as a single link, but it's perfectly portioned for an average breakfast and leaves you feeling full and satisfied without being overly heavy. My husband ordered the country fried chicken and really enjoyed it. The portion size on his plate was especially generous. Of course, we had to try the pancake flight--it was delicious and just the right amount. I love having a variety without feeling overwhelmed. One small note: I ordered a regular drip coffee and found the price a bit steep $5, especially since it only includes one refill--so definitely be sure to ask for it to get your money's worth. Overall, this is a spot we'll absolutely keep coming back to!

Stopped in for a Loco Moco and left feeling like an inconvenience rather than a customer…read more I ordered at the counter and was never offered a place to sit -- despite plenty of open tables. When I was handed a bag and asked if I could eat in, one employee looked to the other, who replied "I guess" -- as if my staying was an imposition. I've been sitting here and haven't been offered so much as a glass of water. To top it off, I ordered my eggs over medium and they came out with a fully hard yolk. A small detail, but it matters -- especially when the rest of the experience is already falling short. Hard to recommend when both the service and the food miss the mark.

The service was good, the restaurant was clean, and the prices are definitely affordable. I ordered the avocado toast--flavor-wise, it was great and the toast itself was delicious. However, the star of the dish, the avocado, felt more like an afterthought. There was barely a smear on the toast, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I still enjoyed my breakfast, but the lack of avocado brings it down for me. I'd give it a 3.5/5.

I wouldn't order it again. The flavor wasn't what I was expecting it be. It definitely was more on the custard side. I got the pesto sandwich, which was perfectly grilled and ratio of ingredients were great. They were out of a bit of ingredients when we went, so it was unfortunate, but they tried to make recommendations based on what we originally wanted. We went during a slow time, so there were a lot of open tables and seats inside. The outside dining area is really pretty.

Overall, you're paying vacation prices, but the food choices are healthy for a lighter lunch or breakfast. Parking is limited to a small lot with many popular shops/businesses.

The granola is also pretty good. There is a faint fridge smell while I'm eating, but I try to overlook it because the sorbet itself is worth it. Their açaí bowl is solid too. That said, the menu is definitely overpriced, and both taste and service can be a hit or miss depending on the day. One more note: I tried the matcha with coconut milk, and it was a total miss. No matcha flavor at all and just not good.

Well, if you love the coffee at the Hilton, The Kahala Resort, IHOP, and even Jack In the Box, then you have no further to look than Hawaiian Paradise Coffee! Luckily they recently started selling their wonderful coffee in retail stores such as Sam's Club, Longs and Don Quijote as well as online via their company website, so you can enjoy that same cup of coffee in your own home! I've actually been drinking a cup of Kona Peaberry coffee every morning at work since picking up a bag of it from Longs, and I'm almost out, so I will be picking up another one soon! Hawaiian Paradise Coffee can also make a great omiyage gift for friends and relatives who don't live in Hawaii because 1) it's spectacular Hawaiian coffee, and 2) the packaging is decorated with artwork that screams "Hawaii"! Pick up a bag today and give it a try! I'm sure you'll love it!

The menu was pretty cool as they have something different per day. We were able to stumble on their burger day. There was a variety of different burgers and we ordered the mushroom swiss and their bacon and egg burger. I definitely love a runny egg in my burger!! We also got a kids cheeseburger. All burgers came with fries. They'll give you a buzzer after you order so you can hang out at the beach or at the seating area near the restaurant. The food came out quick, there wasn't to many people at the time. The fries were crispy and the burgers looked stacked! Mushroom swiss is my go to and the mushrooms were cooked perfectly with the swiss cheese melted on top. The other burger with the bacon and egg was d'lish!! Staff are friendly and were able to answer my questions after the menu. Love the vibe with the palm trees and outdoor lights. We can during sunset and the golden hour loved great especially with the good food we're eating!

We got the banana pancakes, corned beef hash moco, and Vinha D'Alhos. All were comforting, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a local breakfast spot. We ordered five pancakes thinking we'd finish them but only made it through three. The aunty at the counter knew better and served it in a to-go container. She even brought us extra plates because she knew we were going to share everything. That kind of thoughtfulness really stood out. She asked if we wanted the corned beef hash crispy and of course we said yes! The banana pancakes were hot, soft, fluffy, and not overly sweet. The Vinha D'Alhos was hearty and satisfying, perfect tang alongside the pancakes. The aunty working the counter was filled with aloha, and it was obvious she was adored by both the staff and other patrons. They were in the middle of cleaning when we arrived, but it didn't hinder our experience at all. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, and we genuinely had a good time. This place feels like one of those spots where you're treated like family. Definitely coming back.

I asked if they put syrup and butter in my bag and drove all the way home to find nothing inside :/
