    Latte aloha
    Rena T.

    Cozy spot with great scones, sweet coffee, and easy parking Stopped by Aloha Bake House & Cafe and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered a large Latte Aloha and a blueberry cream cheese scone. The scone was served warm with a lovely texture, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. It wasn't overly sweet, and the blueberry flavor came through nicely. Definitely one of the better scones I've had. The Latte Aloha was a bit on the sweeter side, but the coconut flavor was distinct and enjoyable. If you like your coffee with a tropical twist, it's worth a try. Parking was a breeze, there's a lot right next to the shop with designated customer spots. Inside, they offer snacks, breakfast bentos, and even homemade dog treats for sale. There are a couple of small two-seater tables in the front of the shop if you want to enjoy your food there. My total came out to just over $12, which felt reasonable for what I got. Convenient location, good coffee selection, and a relaxed vibe. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu!

    Delicious Breakfast sandwiches and good mocha and green tea latte. More options for breakfast food items would be nice but happy with what we ordered. The service was quick but had a little wait. Lots of locals coming in. Downstairs area is small. You place your order to go or there is upstairs option to sit and enjoy your drinks and food. There is also a restroom located upstairs. Nice place to sit, relax with your friend, family or by yourself. I would come back here again when in Honolulu!

    Tuna melt
    Hailley O.

    Aloha Bakehouse is a great local cafe and bakery! Parking here can be tough but luckily I was able to get a stall the past few times I was here. I mainly come here for one thing which is their tuna melt sandwich. It's simple yet delicious! The tuna is light and has a great fluffy/creamy texture and they put just the right amount of lettuce and tomato. I've tried some of their coffee drinks and matcha latte before and it was good! Kinda like your average cafe drinks but nothing super amazing. They also have really yummy blueberry cream cheese scones! I do like how they have an upstairs area which looks like a great place to study/do work. Very spacious and a lot of open tables but it can be hot since there's no ac.

    Misoyaki Salmon Salad
    Sachi K.

    This is quite literally my favourite place on the island when I want a coffee and somewhere to get work done. I got the Latte Aloha, which was more on the bitter side, but I like my coffee strong. There was also a nice hint of macadamia and coconut in my coffee which was delicious. My sister got the Green Tea Matcha Latte and it had a sweet light flavour to it. Probably not the best place to come if you are a matcha fanatic but it does the job. The last thing I got was the misoyaki salmon salad and I'm telling you this is the most SCRUMPTIOUS salad I have ever eaten. The salmon is cooked to perfection and melts in your mouth, and the dressing and cranberries add a sweet touch to the flavour. The nuts also give it a nice crunch which amplifies the whole flavour profile. We sat upstairs to do some work and it's just a beautifully decorated area. There are not too many outlets so I would charge beforehand. Overall, this place gets 5 stars because I always have a good experience here :)) amazing service and the sweetest workers!!

    Banana scone and lavender matcha latte
    Matthew L.

    I give this a 4 star rating because although the service was wonderful meaning they were able to substitute vanilla for lavender syrup in my matcha latte the pastries itself were dry. Very much Edible, yes. But so dry and cold. It didn't end up going well with my lavender matcha. Their matcha was delicious. No clumps and the syrup wasn't too heavy.

    I ordered the Korean BBQ Chicken Salad and it was great. It came with so much chicken, so I scooped half of it off and saved it for left overs. The folks working were very nice. I went upstairs to study, and I loved the large space. There were many tables, chairs, and couches. There was also a bathroom upstairs. Everyone was very quiet and respectful, and there was some soft music playing.

    Espresso $2.50

    Aloha Bread really does the mochi mochi texture well -- fluffy and soft with just the right amount of chew. It's hard to find bread that's this soft while still having that satisfying bite. I especially like it because it reminded me of Japanese bread. And Usually scones can be crumbly or overly sugary, but an anko (red bean) scone was not too dry and not too sweet:) Espresso $2.50 Chi sparkling: Lychee Fuzzy $2.50 Aloha bread: turkey and pesto $14.00 Matcha Red Bean Scone: $3.99

    Got the jalapeño aloha bread, it was delicious. It wasn't too spicy, I liked the olives and the pepperoni in it. Cost about $10.

    Elizabeth P.

    The aloha bread was the best thing out of what we ordered. The acai bowl was basic as was the blueberry scone. The matcha iced needed more matcha and the coffee was bitter. Also the guy making the coffee dropped the milk foam cup on the dirty floor and rinsed it briefly for 2 seconds before proceeding to froth the milk for my drink There is plenty of seating upstairs which is nice if you wanted to hang out with friends.

    Spinach aloha bread and Ube scone

    This little cafe/bakehouse is the perfect spot to grab a drink/meal/snack! They have a great menu offering a full selection of drinks, snacky foods (musubi, burritos), baked goods (aloha bread, scones), and full entrees (sandwiches, salads, plates). Service is friendly and fast. The downstairs area (main entrance) is where you order/pay/pickup your food, just outside there's a staircase leading up to the seating area which is a huge, beautiful room with lots of natural light, plants, and different sitting areas for chatting or working. It's really quite lovely. I tried their lox sandwich on a toasty everything bagel and it was delicious! Plentiful amount of smoked salmon and cream cheese, spinach, capers, on a very tasty bagel. I also had their iced aloha latte which was so refreshing and lightly sweet. I can't wait to visit again and explore their menu!

    Stopped at the Aloha Bakehouse Shop for the first time on a Friday during Winter Break, and it wasn't crowded at all. My friend and I arrived at around 11AM and stayed until closing. I go to a lot of coffee shops across the island but this is one is definitely made it to the top three. Friendly staff, good food, lots of table space and plenty seating/outlets. There's also extra cushions you can borrow if the seats get too stiff. Only con is that there wasn't AC and it did get a little warm, but I also really enjoyed the natural airflow/natural sunlight. Got a Matcha Chocolate Chip scone, Lilikoi Lemonade, and their sun-dried tomato & spinach aloha bread with Salami. All very yummy. I was full after the scone and ended up taking the aloha bread home. Still tasted amazing!

    Came here early morning right after a Body Balance workout & it was a cute hole in the wall cafe. Everything on the menu & on display looked and sounded delicious so it was hard to make a decision. I ended up ordering an iced coconut mocha and a spicy tuna musubi. The prices weren't overpriced and the service was great. Very friendly and patient especially with coming for my first time I didn't know what to get. The iced coconut mocha was very good. Sweetened just right, and a hint of coconut.it was perfect for an early morning coffee. The musubi was delicious. Spicy enough to give that hint of spice, but not too spicy where my son really enjoyed it too. The taste of everything was YUM. I will definitely keep this place as my go to place. Also heard there's an upstairs cafe, so I can't wait to try it out one day!

    One of my go-to cafes to study & work from. They have plenty of seating with free wifi, outlets at some tables, and a bathroom. You can place your order on the ground floor and bring your food upstairs. The whole upstairs seating area is gorgeous - there's lots of greenery and it's open air and you can look down onto the street at some of the window tables. The matcha latte is on the sweeter side with a slight graininess to it. The scones are around $3.50 each and they have a nice caramelized outside and fluffy inside. The Aloha Breads are pretty big and stuffed. The workers are all super kind and helpful. They also recently opened a location in Kaimuki, next to Juicy Brew!

    Scones are great! Coffee is good if you like drinks like lattes and mochas - might not be coffee of choice for picky coffee drinkers.

Our waitress, Alyssa (sp?), was terrific - friendly, energetic, and gave great recommendations. When Alyssa came to take our drink orders, I asked if the mai tai could be made on the sweeter said. She said it couldn't but gave me other recommendations when I asked for drinks that are on the sweeter side. One of those drinks was the meringue di cerdo, which is a drink version of lemon meringue pie (my fave!) and it was perfectly lemony and more on the sweeter side. My mom got an elderflower drink, which she said was just ok. I got the Cioppino and quinoa cakes. The cioppino had a rich seafood flavor that I haven't seen in other versions of the dish I've tried. It came with toast with romanesco sauce. The sauce had a kick without being overly spicy. The quinoa cakes had a similar taste and texture to falafel and were topped with avocado. They were delicious but a little bit on the heavy side. My mom got the beet salad and the cavatappi with sausage, both of which were specials. Though I didn't try the pasta, I did try some of the beet salad. Beets were cooked well. We loved the crispy shallots. We were full so no room for dessert! Only downside was the noise as we were first seated but it seemed to quiet down during our time at Fete. Would recommend/return!

He described everything with such care that it was hard not to order everything! I'd highly recommend a reservation as there was not an empty table the entire two hours we were there. The restaurant is on the smaller side so it can get quite loud but our table had great conversations and a overall lovely time. Appetizer: We ordered the konpachi hush puppies (apologies, they had a nicer name but this is how they were described to us) and they were delicious! I'm not a lover of fish, but these were so flavorful and the sauce paired perfectly with it. Drinks: I had the meringue di cedri to drink and it was akin to a lemon drop (10/10) it was sippable and lasted my whole meal. Husband had the Hana Koa Rice Breaker, which is one of his favorites as its smooth and pairs well with honestly anything. Entree: You will be missing out if you don't get the lemon risotto. I ordered it with the prosciutto and it may be one of the best meals I've had in Hawaii. The zucchini is done two ways in it: diced to be mixed in with the risotto and thinly sliced and grilled on top of the risotto. The panko crumbs on top really solidified the plate for me as top tier as risotto can get to be boring to eat after a few bites as they can lack texture, but not this risotto! Every bite was a journey and it was a very filling meal. My husband ordered the Korean steak and said it was better than some of the local steakhouses we had gone to. Our friend ordered the spaghetti carbonara and enjoyed it as well. Dessert: We were encouraged to try the Rocky Road ice cream and decided it was a must have when you visit. It was creamy, rich and delectable. We also opted to try the dessert special of the evening which was a Lilikoi cheesecake with a chocolate mousse. The cheesecake had a sour tang to it and the chocolate mousse partner with it to balance it out so it wasn't overly sweet. We loved it and I know in a few days we'll be craving this meal all over again!

Honey drizzle which wasn't too sweet...or maybe I just ate the parts that didn't have. Baby ate almost 1.5 pieces and even liked the Jalapeno Butter that I just dabbed on her bread. She said wasn't spicy but think she just didn't have enough. - Bone Marrow - lit it on fire to burn off the alcohol. Pretty sure it ddin't get it all so I cut baby off once I realized it. Other than needing some salt, really good. Choke mushrooms on top. One half was scrawny, but hubs had the other half for leftovers and choke marrow. YUM. - Sunchoke and Brussels - YUM.

The smoked octopus was sliced in pieces that were too thick and a little too chewy and the andouille sausage and black pepper overpowered the dish. Ordered the bourbon and bone marrow mostly for the presentation. It was WAAAY too rich and needed more bread to go with it. They should've served it with bread that wasn't buttered because the buttered bread even though tasty by itself was just too rich in combination with all of that bone marrow. The dish needed more balance. The ice cream sundae was unremarkable. Would have preferred it served with a choice of hot fudge or the caramel drizzle and since it was plain vanilla ice cream they could've drizzled a lot more caramel over it. The waitress did bring us more nuts when we asked, but they were busy at the time and she was the only server so it took her a while to get to us, and the ice cream was pretty melted by the time she delivered. We got there when they opened at 5 PM and they had two servers at that time. The place wasn't busy so it seemed like they had enough help for the amount of tables that were being seated. An hour and a half later, though, one server was missing (possibly taking a lunch break) and the only server remaining at several big parties to take care of which slowed down her responsiveness to the other smaller tables like ours. The music playing in the background seemed to fit the environment and was pleasant to listen to. It's a pretty casual atmosphere. The prices for what you get are a bit on the high end. Probably wouldn't go back unless someone else is paying. We didn't feel too bad this time because we had a gift certificate which covered most of our bill. Maybe we were choosing all the wrong items and should have just stuck to ordering meat dishes, which they might be better at making (with a name like Livestock). You'll have to check this place out yourself and see if they do a better job with meat and if the prices for those dishes are more reasonable. I gave this place four stars instead of three because the servers were friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was mostly okay (tasty enough and filling).

The employee took it and immediately hung up on me--no name taken, no "thank you," no "goodbye." When I arrived, the parking was a mess, so I had to be dropped off.

I've been…read moreon the fence about Liliha because the last time I went, the waffle didn't taste the same. I don't know. The waffle has always been my favorite. We just got eggs and portuguese sausage. I did get the kimchi fried rice which was good. Our first table was in direct line with the AC and it was like we were sitting in the wind. When we moved to the counter, the heat from the kitchen was an issue. I don't know. It just seemed like we just needed to eat and jet. Our server was nice.

    I know this is a revered institution, but our visit just wasn't very good. We went for breakfast:…read morethe pancakes were good, but the American Breakfast wasn't, and the potatoes were undercooked with a flavor that was almost too earthy. The pastries were just okay; we tried a few cake slices that were fine but unremarkable. The cinnamon roll was dry and hard, the malasadas were forgettable, and the haupia-filled malasada was surprisingly tart. It's possible some ingredients were locally sourced and just unfamiliar to our mainland palates, or maybe we simply caught them on an off day. The servers were curt but friendly, likely because the place was packed with tourists.

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
