Supercute coffee shop, bakery, cafe shop on Waialae. Recently stopped in because another close by establishment was closed. They have a great selection of goodies i got the egg salad sandwich but ill definitely be back for other options as well. They also have local products on sale in the shop. And ofcourse their scones are delicious!

Aloha Bakehouse & Cafe sits on the corner of Waialae and 8th Avenues. A daunting task for a bakery & cafe across from both The Curb and Breadshop HNL. I've been here a few times in the 1+ years that they have been open. Pastries are excellent. I am a sucker for a good scone and their Strawberry White Chocolate Scone was excellent. Coffee is also excellent. This morning, I had a Kyoto style cold brew. Not too strong as cold brews can sometimes be. Half a dozen tables allow for dining in. Street metered parking is available.

Pretty keychains made from microplastics.

We came here around 8:30 am to order some to-go drinks and sandwiches today (Sunday). We were able to find street parking. The store is cute with large menu. They also sell other locally made souvenirs and Japanese snacks here. Three employees were working when we came in. Very clean store and friendly employees :). We ordered large cappuccino ($7), croissant sandwich ($9.50), açaí bowl ($15), aloha bread meat lovers and jalapeño ($10/each), and azuki matcha latte ($8.50). Everything was good. The açaí texture was delicious with the good amount of honey they put in. The azuki latte was refreshing and just at the right amount of sweetness. We haven't yet tried the scones but next time!

Cute spot in Kaimuki! Located across from the Curb. Tried their scone today and Kyoto Cold Brew. The scone was pretty standard, but I prefer Sconees. Kyoto Cold Brew was strong and kept me awake. Service was quick and the big plus is the strong free wifi and indoor seating, as well as opening until 4:00 PM, unlike their other cafe counterparts. They also have a wide selection of items on their menu - from acai bowls, musubi, sandwiches, bagels, etc. The Matcha Azuki drink looked VERY enticing. Will be back!

Salmon lox on everything bagel

Aloha Bakehouse and Cafe is another wonderful addition to the Kaimuki small businesses community! Right off of Waialae, Aloha Bakehouse is like a coffee shop, bakery and bodega hybrid. On top of their offerings, they also sell some local goods from local artisans. Special coffee offerings include Kyoto style cold brew, Aloha Iced Coffee (their version of a vietnamese iced coffee) and bulletproof coffee. When I came in, there was a black sesame latte on special. Their scones are really popular, with different flavors like chocolate macadamia nut, matcha, and apple cinnamon. They're also known for their "Aloha breads" which is like a panini stuffed bread with goodies like pepperoni, sun dried tomatoes and spinach, and even a vegan option! You can even get pre-made items like musubis and noodles. I got their salmon lox bagel, aloha iced coffee, and latte Aloha. What makes this a 5-star spot is the people there. They were so friendly and we talked story for a bit. Plus, they gave a free pupacinno for my dog.

Located at the corner of Waialae Avenue and 8th Avenue

Breakfast to go in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii... On my way to a Sunday morning wedding in Kahala, I stopped by Aloha Bakehouse & Cafe on the corner of 8th Avenue and Waialae Avenue... because metered street parking was free... and I didn't want to faint at the wedding! Service was efficient and polite! I asked if my Aloha Latte could be made with Oat Milk... Sure! Yay! It was so smooth that I didn't need any sugar! The subtle nutty macadamia flavor was delicious! I also got a chocolate chip macadamia nut scone - yummy! There was a light sprinkling of sugar on the top, which added a nice crunch! The cozy interior of the cafe was clean and bright. Because this location of Aloha Bakehouse & Cafe (there are also locations in downtown and Kaka'ako) is a corner unit, the natural light shines in from two gigantic windows! There are about six small tables with chairs for everyone to study and/or do work. In the middle of the space, customers can browse through locally made/sourced merchandise such as keychains, coin purses, flavored olive oil, and peanut butter. I would stop by if I'm in the area again - especially since there's a rewards program - just enter your phone number in the system!

Found this quaint shop on Waialae. I had the bagel with the honey macadamia nut peanut butter and raw local honey. It was so delicious that I ordered another one. There are local products that are perfect for gift giving, and you can purchase their log bags to give as gifts. The raw local honey is delicious. Local honey is preferred over honey from other areas. Healthier and supports local businesses. The peanut butter was so delicious as well. Minimal ingredients and locally made. There are fresh sandwiches and pizza in the refrigerator. There are also fresh musubi on the counter. The food prep area is clean. Parking on the street. Free WiFi so students were busy doing papers while enjoying food freshly prepared by this establishment. The staff were very nice and helpful. I would return here again, especially to buy the raw honey, tea, and peanut butter to give away as gifts.

I love Aloha Bakehouse & Cafe's ward location so I was stoked that they opened a new shop in kaimuki too. They're right across from The Curb on the opposite corner, and they serve the same things they have at their original location. I always get their scones because they're a very nice petite size and aren't super dry like other places. They sell a lot of grab & go merchandise and a variety of breakfast/lunch/coffee items. There's a handful of seats near the window, but I found that it gets really hot at some times because of the direct sunlight through the windows.

Always passed by this place when going to school and I finally had the chance to try it! Honestly, this place is underrated!! The inside of the cafe is super cute and I love how they have so many choices with food and coffee! ***What I ordered ~ **Kyoto Style Cold Brew (10/10) ~ This was super good. Not too bitter definitely smooth when drinking! I got this black and it was pretty easy to drink! I definitely would get this again! This was super refreshing on a hot day ~ Overall, Service was great, drinks came out extremely fast, and everything was super good! Although, the parking situation isn't the best. Anyways, can't wait to come back and try their other drinks!! :)

Aloha and good morning!! Feeling disconnected as I had no idea they have this little project working right in my neighborhood! Love this new bright spot right on Waialae giving me a great early option to grab some drinks and bites is amazing! Opened less than a week Aloha Bakehouse & Cafe offers so much more than their usual fun and yummy bites but supporting some local merchandise is always a great collaboration to share and discover I can't tell you how excited I am with this location though the parking is something I'm gonna struggle with especially in the early morning. The service here is just so friendly and helpful with any questions though after some search in each display cases with a bunch of grab and go drinks and sandwiches it was easy...too easy to find. A cute sandwich variety (tuna, ham and cheese, egg), half a breakfast burrito (which they can warm up for you) and a smoothie I was set for the morning just like that. A great lazy spot with a couple of tables to chill or even at the Public Parklet right outside this is a great place to relax. Thank you!

Lox and cream cheese sandwich on 12 grain
Cindy F.

It's another Sunday morning where hubby and I decided to get a light breakfast before we get started on our chores (or play Pokémon Go). So we Yelp and this place pops up on the map and we decide to give it a try. It is in the old part of Kaimuki Town and has a comfortable no-frills, quaint atmosphere. If you live in the neighborhood, I would suggest that you consider getting your steps in for the day because parking is limited to the street. We were lucky to find a stall after driving around the block. There's one hour metered parking, free on Sunday and holidays. Table seating is available but very limited. Hubby said he enjoyed his Kyoto Cold Brew, Strawberry Cream Cheese Scone and Breakfast Bagel Sandwich. The bagel was warm but not over toasted. He said other places toast it a little too much for his old teeth to bite in easily. So he really enjoyed is sandwich. I decided on the lox and cream cheese sandwich. They offered a choice of bagel, white bread, or 12 grain. I'm glad that I chose the 12 grain bread lightly toasted. I was able experience all of the typical lox and bagel flavors without so much bagel. My hubby said, "you can taste the healthy". I also enjoyed my blended green tea matcha. According to the cashier, Michiko, they've been open only for two weeks. Very friendly. It appeared neighbors are curious with a number walking in and making conversation. They make their own dressings and peanut butter that are bottled and available for sale alongside other local products. They also have a refrigerated area with grab and go items and a variety of bottled water, soft and energy drinks. All in all, a nice way to greet our Sunday and support a new local business. Now off we go to catch Pokemon and walk off the calories and of course, squeeze in time for our chores.

Aloha Iced Coffee
Michelle K.

My husband and I came to hawaii for a few days and on the first full day, he was tasked with finding me a coffee shop before we headed over to see family. He found Aloha Bakehouse & Cafe. We ordered the Matcha Azuki Latte and Aloha Iced Coffee. OMG, they were both SO good. I was really intrigued by the matcha + azuki latte since that seemed so different to me, but it was super good. This small business cafe was so good that I said we needed to go back, just so I could try a coffee drink. The second visit we ordered the Iced Vanilla Macadamia Latte and Yuzu Lemonade. Both of these drinks were also so good! In addition to ordering our two drinks in our second visit, we also tried the Aloha Bread with Pepperoni and Olives. The bread was really soft and you get a good amount of cheese and toppings inside the bread with every bite. With our trip coming to an end, I told my husband that we HAD to go back so I could get one more Matcha Azuki Latte before we hopped back on a plane to go home. I'm so happy that we did. On our third visit, we once again both got the Matcha Azuki Latte and Aloha Iced Coffee. Aloha Iced Coffee had the right amount of sweetness to creamy to caffeine. Matcha Azuki Latte was sweet with delicious azuki and was milky. The Vanilla Macadamia Latte wasn't too nutty and had a hint of sweetness from the vanilla. I love that all flavors were well balanced and that one flavor didn't overpower another in each drink. Yuzu Lemonade was pretty sweet which we loved - it wasn't too sour. Parking can be a little tough depending on the time of day, but there was street parking not far away from the business all three times we came. Service is friendly here and drinks are made to order. You can dine in at the tables + chairs inside or take your items to go. So good that we came 3 out of 4 days of our trip, and I already know that I'll be back next time we come to Hawaii.

Bulletproof coffee & aloha coffee
Eunice M.

I popped in for coffee with a friend and this place was lovely, modern and minimalist place to sit and work. We only stayed for a little while but the bullet proof coffee was divine. Normally it comes hot but the cashier said they could put it on ice; coffee was strong and I was able to stay awake all day. Will be back to try their food!

A cozy corner in the heart of Kaimuki :)…read more I happened to find this place when I was searching for cafes around the area, and it did not disappoint. Honey Matcha Latte is my current favorite: just the right balance of matcha, milk and honey :) The vibes are so nice. You'll be greeted by the green green plants (which are actually for sale!), and then grab a drink down the hall. I also like how they have a "Sip & Chill Zone" where no ipads or computer work are allowed, so you can just relax and talk story. This is my favorite spot because I can just do some people watching by the window as I sip my matcha latte. It's a nice place to detach from the hustle even just for a while.

Food so good, my Bf and I ate two meals here during our Oahu trip! First was dinner on a Friday,…read moresecond was Brunch the following Sunday. For dinner, we made a reservation - but I'm honestly not sure we needed it, the restaurant never got completely full. For Sunday Brunch, it was definitely needed - parties without one were having to wait. Both servers were friendly, but our dinner server was really great. He was very detail-oriented and helped us navigate the menu with an allergy, running every item by the chef before putting in the order. For dinner with started with the No Kings Caesar and Ahi Aguachile (special). For mains we got the Heritage Pork Katsu and the Market Fish. Dessert was the Bottom of the Bowl. For Brunch we got the Koko Moco, Korean Fried Chicken (special), and Cornflake French Toast to share. We also ordered The Best Hash Brown Ever. All the food was excellent. Favorite dinner bites were the Market Fish and Bottom of the Bowl. The market fish that evening was sliced ahi served over a bed of farro with toasted nuts (and other ingredients I'm forgetting). But it was super delicious. The dessert was easily the best bite of our trip. The frosted flake gelato is divine, but the little crunchy bits are the crown. Every bite is perfectly sweet and salty at the same time. Best brunch bites were the Koko Moco and The Best Hash Brown Ever. The Cornflake French Toast was also pretty solid, but the gelato just melts so quickly! There's a reason why the owner / executive chef of this restaurant competes on national television. The quality is spot-on; every dish feels intentional and unique. The food feels elevated, but without an obscene price tag. Highly recommend this spot if you're visiting the area!

My husband and I had such a wonderful experience at Waioli bake Shop & Kitchen!…read more Tucked away right next to the Salvation Army property, this charming little spot is surrounded by lush tropical greenery with beautiful mountain views. The historic-looking home has so much character, offering both indoor and outdoor seating. The entire atmosphere feels so cozy, peaceful, and inviting. Such a lovely escape!

My husband still had a little room for more, so he decided to order a cheeseburger afterward, which was equally tasty! The service was amazing, the food was wonderful, and the ambiance really made the whole experience special. It's one of those places where you just want to sit back, relax, and enjoy your surroundings. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will absolutely be returning!

My personal favorite is the French toast, which you can top with a mix of banana, blueberries, and strawberries for an extra $3-5. They also offer special off-menu sweet treats like cornbread waffles and banana bread French toast. We haven't tried those yet but plan to next time. We've been here a handful of times and it's becoming our go-to brunch place. I usually order the frittata omelette, which comes loaded with onions, mushrooms, and your choice of meat or mixed vegetables, plus a side of really good roasted potatoes. On our most recent visit we went for a combo to balance sweet and savory: soft scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, and two big slices of French toast with strawberries. It was delicious. We also ordered the pastrami eggs Benedict with sides of fried rice and roasted potatoes. We both left completely full and not at all disappointed. The staff is extremely friendly, and there's plenty of seating. It does get busy (there's usually a waitlist because it's popular), but in all our visits the wait has never been more than 10-15 minutes. Highly recommend for a solid, satisfying brunch
