Spring Rolls are always fresh and never soggy or gummy. Service is the friendliness and it's fast. I normally come right after work so it's never really busy at 4pm but they do offer quite a bit of seating and it's pretty spacious if you were to have a large party. Parking lot is shared with Starbucks and Ross so it can definitely get congested.

Also, had one of their specials for that day: Pork Guisantes. They made it with bell peppers - not my fave - but it was fine. Service was excellent - wait time was just under ten minutes. They have a fairly large dining area; it is very much an old school diner. They have a monthly schedule for their pies. Pastries are excellent.

I moved to Hawaii a little over a year ago from Southern California, and the most common agreement…read moreI'll have with others who moved here from SoCal is: "Hawaii is incredible... But it's hard to find good Mexican food here." I tend to always forget to take photos before I dive in, so what's not pictured are the carne asada street taco and the Cali Burrito (ordered with no fries) that the hubs got. Let's be real - we didn't have high expectations; (come on, there's other cuisines Hawai'i is known for, but Mexican isn't on the top of the list). However, we polished everything we ordered at Barrio Cafe. This small hole in wall spot had great service and the best Mexican food we've had since landing in Oahu. I'd rate it five stars for Mexican on the island but gotta admit it's not quite what we're used to in SoCal so knocking one star. We'll definitely be back when craving home.

The 100% Kona for 1 pound was $89.95 so we settled on buying an average priced bean called Hawaiian Hazelnut for $27.95 a pound. They offer to grind it for you too if you need it. We ordered some delicious cold brew and macadamia latte. While we waited they offered samples of their coffees. We then grabbed our drinks and headed outside to check out the coffee trees. We loved the little hei hei chickens in the grass! This was such a cute quaint place to check out and I highly recommend so you can support local and buy some fresh coffee beans!

Established by Howard Green in 2008, it offers free self-guided tours, a cafe with espresso drinks, and free coffee samples. The farm roasts its own coffee daily, producing a smooth, low-acidity brew. My friend, Sheryl M. had insisted we stop here for our coffee and what an amazing recommendation. The coffee farm aspect alone is well with a peruse. Between squawking at chickens and getting a caramel macchiato, it made for a great pit stop. Just enough time to use the restroom, grab a beverage, look at their extensive gift shop, and take a gander at the coffee trees. If you're heading over to the North Shore and are a coffee enthusiastic, Green World Coffee Farm is well worth a visit.

Ube mascarpone pancakes!…read more I've dined here and at the Aiea location a few times. To my surprise, Guieb was introducing an updated menu when my friend and I visited earlier today. Our server explained that the menu is more streamlined with favorites. He mentioned that all pancake dishes can be interchangeable to waffles and that the waffle in their chicken and waffle dish can be any flavor! can My friend and I ordered new menu items, the Aria Plate for her and Da 3-Bite Feast for me. We enjoyed our plates! I love when restaurants offer samplers of sweet and savory breakfast items. The ube mascarpone pancakes were as legitimately ube and not too sweet as ever. The crab cake Benedict was great with a crispy crab cake patty and the poached egg a good medium (huge improvement from the bao bun Benedict I ordered for takeout years ago). The egg from the Wagyu loco moco was cooked exactly like the over easy I requested. The meat was moist and the gravy was flavorful. Good to know I don't always have to get the same ube mascarpone pancakes every time! One of our servers seemed a little hurried when my friend just arrived, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. I gently reminded him that my friend needed time to look at the menu. (Maybe he got too excited, haha!) The rest of the staff were friendly and attentive. I seem to forget about Guieb's parking in the back, or even the 1-hour parking around the block. The closest untimed street parking I'm aware of is near First Hawaiian Bank a couple blocks away. Guieb Cafe Wahiawa is always a favorite whenever I have visiting family and friends, or for loved ones moving away.

****CHECK YOUR RECEIPT PRIOR TO PAYING****…read more ****CHECK YOUR RECEIPT PRIOR TO PAYING**** I had lunch with my wife and had a wonderful experience (she had the country fried steak and I had the Korean rib-eye with an order of 4 beignets [2 of the Ube and 2 of the Strawberry])... ...until I got the receipt for our meal. The cost for the whole meal was reasonable until I saw the price for the beignets that were the special menu item. THEY TRIED TO CHARGE US $25.00 for 4 beignets. (For reference: Price was: 1 for $2.75 or 4 for $10.00) I only ordered 4 (two of the Strawberry and 2 of the Ube so my wife and I can try both flavors), which should come out to $10.00. I confronted the waitress about the mistake, and was very apologetic about the error. She returns to the register to fix it and the total came out to $11.00, not $10.00. The math doesn't make sense. So I approached the waitress and she said and I quote: "We charge the $2.75 price because you ordered two orders of two different types of beignets. Since each cost $2.75, the total comes out to $11.00". THAT WAS NEVER MENTIONED WHEN THE WAITRESS TOOK OUR ORDER OR WAS NOT PRINTED ON THE MENU WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE ORDER I asked her why wasn't this mentioned while we were ordering it, even though she was present when I was having the discussion of the beignets to my wife. All she did was apologize but didn't change the ticket. I didn't want to cause a scene, so I paid the bill and took off. I only state this because even though it is only a dollar, this could have been going on for a good amount of time where they can rack up a good sum of money from customers if they kept this act going. And restaurants wonder why people don't go to their establishments: because occurrences similar to this dissuade people from going out to eat. This is why I check my receipt before paying. *see picture* Don't get me wrong, food was wonderful and the ambiance was laid back and relaxed, but they should make it known of their EXACT pricing before advertising a food item on the menu

It's not great, but it's not terrible. Only been here a few times and not sure when I'll go again…read more Carne asada is ok; tried both the combo and meat only version. It could've been more flavorful, but it's not the worst burrito I ever had. Barbacoa was... interesting, to say the least. I have never had such fatty barbacoa where it was just bite after bite of fat. I think I got a bad batch, or it wasn't cooked long enough. It wasn't tender and had just... a lot of fat. The texture wasn't right and it felt like sticky mush in my mouth. Couldn't finish my barbacoa burrito due to the texture being so off. Tried picking at it with a fork and some of the fat would pull off like stringy, forgive me for this, snot. Also a bit disappointed that they don't have salsa and just hot sauce. Mouthful of Tapatio isn't the same as a quick, home made salsa. I understand this is a small business and local, and they are trying to keep costs down so some short cuts need to be made. Owner is nice though. He tries to make small talk with everyone so it does have a nice friendliness aspect. Would not recommend barbacoa. Chicken was ok. Carne asada was ok. Supporting small businesses is what keeps me coming back - if I feel like making the drive out here.

The perfect place for indecisive eaters!…read more I've come here 2x in the past month with my daughter and this truly is the best place for picky or indecisive eaters. The first time I got the ramen, gyoza & fried rice combo for only ~$15! What a deal! 5 pieces of gyoza, a mound of fried rice, & a mini shoyu ramen. My daughter loved the ramen, I enjoyed the gyoza and fried rice. We even had left overs to take home! They also have the CUTEST Hello Kitty bowls, cups, and spoons for kids. My daughter loved eating out of them. The 2nd time I got the curry katsu, gyoza, & ramen combo ($16.50). My daughter couldn't decide between ramen or curry so this combo was perfect! She ate some of both! Again, we had leftovers to take home. Service was quick! They also have a small bakery case at the front of the store with fresh breads and pastries. Overall, perfect place to take whole family (and or your pickiest eaters).

Awesome service from Kalae!!…read more Location at Mililani Town Center. Lots of parking. On the side of Meheula Parkway We had the West Coast burger bowl!! it was good!!! it comes with lettuce..American cheese.. bacon.. avocado.. grilled onions.. pickles.. lettuce.. mayo. Basically a burger without the bun. Of course, we had the bread with the oil that is always tasty. And the spinach, artichoke dip!! for the win. Casual vacation with awesome service

Husbabe and I decided last minute to come here since we were at Mililani Town Ctr. It wasnt crowded…read morewe may have just missed the dinner crowd as it was a little closer to 8pm. We were seated immediately so that was nice, especially with a toddler. Right away we ordered our babies food first with our appetizers since I wanted to make sure her food comes out quick. We ordered off the kids menu for her, the mushroom sausage pizza and got some avocado rolls for apps. Our waiter was nice, but seemed to have been running 5 tables alone, he might've been new I believe, but he was doing okay (sorry I forgot his name). My hasband got their new smoked salmon (i think thats what it was called) on a bed of broccoli-the salmon was very dry and the sauce was very watery that came with it. I got the shrimp and mushroom- linguini finny- that is my favorite when we do eat here. no complaints on this... Lets fast forward to all of us eating and I notice, the baby is enjoying her pizza, but when she gets to the sausage she starts coughing and sticking her tongue out. We of course check to see if there is anything wrong and couldnt figure it out. As I proceeded to watch her take the next bite and she does it again, she spits out the sausage, I take a look at the sausage and see like a chili pepper flake. At this point im a little confused bc i told my husband it cant be, lol... Low and behold, I tasted the sausage and it was spicy. I re read the menu before I called our waiter over and nothing on the menu stated that the sausage for the kids menu was going to be spicy. I than call the waiter over and ask what kind of sausage and if their sausage is spicy for the KIDS menu. He was like "ohhh yes, sorry I didnt mention it, it was my fault" I didnt know what to say because he CLEARY knew we were ordering that for our toddler. I just suggested that maybe next time they advised customers about the sausage being spicy for kids. Over all it was okay, sucks my husband didnt enjoy his food because he doesnt really care for pasta and rarely wants to eat at CPK.
