I have been coming to **Cinnamon's** since 2008, and I can honestly say the quality has never…read morewavered. This is a locally owned, family-run "mom & pop" gem that has been rooted in the Kailua community since the 80s, and you can really feel that aloha spirit the moment you walk in. It is my absolute go-to spot whenever I have friends or family visiting. The Food: The menu is packed with authentic Hawaii flavors. My personal favorite is the **Kalua Pig Eggs Benedict**. It is consistently perfect. They also have incredible specials; I once had a **Kalbi Loco Moco** that was absolutely heavenly. Whether you're going for their famous guava chiffon pancakes or their housemade corned beef hash, you really can't go wrong. The Service: Despite being a busy staple, the service is always top-notch. The staff is attentive, kind, and incredibly helpful. They have a great way of anticipating what you need before you even have to ask, which makes the whole dining experience feel seamless and welcoming. Tips for Visitors: * **Plan Ahead:** This place is a favorite for locals and tourists alike, so it can get busy very quickly, especially on weekends! * **Hours:** Keep in mind they specialize in breakfast and lunch. * **Atmosphere:** It's casual and family-friendly. If you want a real taste of local comfort food served with love, this is the place. Mahalo to the Nam family for keeping the quality so high for all these years!

Came here after the Pillbox hike before heading to the beach. Thankfully there was no wait and…read moreplenty of parking available. The restaurant itself felt pretty dated with poor ventilation and old carpeting. There were also flies everywhere constantly getting on the food, which was super annoying. The spam meal was decent, but honestly nothing you couldn't make at home in a few minutes. I also ordered the catch of the day, but it tasted more like the catch of the week. Fish was tough, lacked flavor, and the rice was caked up. The one standout was the guava pancake, which was extremely good and probably the best thing we ordered. Overall though, probably wouldn't come back again anytime soon.

Parking: street side Seating: 5 smaller tables that hold 3-4 people each. There is bench seating outside. Service: ordering was quick & easy. Actually receiving our food took a little over 30 mins but it was a weekend and they were slammed! I'd happily wait every time because the burritos really are that good. Food: nothing tastes better than a konos burrito in a to go bag on the beach. I'm a huge fan of the chorizo burrito add avocado & my husband devours the pork one!

I'm a business owner and to me customer service matters more than anything, even when the experience isn't perfect. Kono's stepped up. Everything went well from order through delivery, and the Tube Bagel was fresh and delicious. They were out of something, but called to offer a choice of substitutions. I would share a photo but it's currently passing through my digestive system and not feeling very photogenic at the moment. Ignore that silly disgusting mess attached to my original review, but I will leave the photos up because I think they are instructive for management. Mission Accomplished Kono's Kailua! Not a criticism but I couldn't communicate with the Uber Eats driver through the website app. Whoever it was found me.

Line up- make order at the door- pay then seat. What a concept!! The food comes out quick and hot. I get my usual- pulehu ribs - so tasty- has onions and mushrooms. With poached eggs and crispy hash browns Hubby usually gets the seafood omelette- they make it just the way he likes it- not many places make them this well. This time he kalbi ribs POG!!

"Sorry, you still gotta pay for the rice and veg". "What? No starch, well, I can give you green salad or a side of broccoli" NO NO NO. That kind of thing. Was pleasantly surprised Boots and Kimo don't play that game! Wish more restaurants would update their menus for people like us... Ala Carte please all you restaurant owners!! They really have quite the efficient system here. You order outside the door with the lovely friendly gal (shoot don't remember her name!), then you walk inside and pay at the window, then to your table. The coffee and waters came shortly after we sat and the food came within about 10 minutes or so. We each got eggs and pulehu ribs and the 3 of us shared a side of bacon and an order of the kalbi ribs (total treat cheat as we RARELY eat ANYTHING with sugar/soy etc). Bacon was crispy-YAY. It was all so good. Aside from those sugary ONOlishioso ribs, the perfect meal for us! Next time we'll skip the kalbi and add more bacon. The only things I would ding them on is the price of the side of eggs, and tipping. Somehow gotta figure out how to do tipping after the service! Not gonna change review stars for egg price & tip situation ... Just a note & suggestion to the owner.

And I have to mention their salad dressing... SO good. Whatever they're doing with that dressing needs to stay exactly the same because the taste was incredible. It tied everything together perfectly and honestly made the meal even more memorable. Service was quick, the staff was great, and the food tasted AH-MAZING. Definitely one of those spots that makes you excited to come back and try more on the menu. Highly recommend!
