    We came to this café because they have two locations, and this one is much less busy--yet the coffee, pastries, and food are just as amazing. The service was great, and the drinks came out quickly and were perfectly crafted.

    Paula and her delicious food!

    This was the 2nd place we stopped for food. The loco moco was over fried rice, the patty was nicely seasoned with crisp edges, and the banana bread was delicious. We ordered additional bread to take home. Paula is amazing plus warm and welcoming and had made ube brownie bites and let us try them.... They were divine!

    We were staying at the Hilton Garden Inn across the street and wanted to try a local place for breakfast. Their breakfast sandwich and loco moco were so delicious! We were greeted by their super friendly staff and Christine brought us our meals with a huge smile on her face. We definitely recoo

    Acai bowl
    Lily S.

    This is a small cafe in the Kuhio food hall within the International Marketplace. They have smoothies and breakfast items, including acai bowls. We got a couple of acai bowls and they were so good and refreshing. The fruits were really fresh and the acai was sweet. I think they were generous with the honey, which made the bowls really yummy. The acai bowls were quite big and a great option for lunch.

    Loco Moco
    Erick V.

    Overpriced mediocre food. $60 for 2 coffees, loco moco, and açaí bowl. Nothing screamed out amazing, if anything, this place goes more for plating appearance vs actual flavors. Food was plain, just the saltiness from the gravy which overpowered everything. I wouldn't come back

    Acai bowl (frozen blueberries, fresh strawberries and banana)

    I appreciate that this place was one of the few places open early in the morning when we came to pick up our rental car. I appreciate that the line moved pretty quickly. However, this was easily the worst acai bowl I think I have had. I ordered a breakfast burrito and acai bowl. I think they forgot my order because several other tables got their food (including acai bowls) but mine never came out. A waiter even came out to ask if I was waiting on my food since I was sitting at an empty table and I told him yes and he went to tell the staff. Only then did I see them start pulling stuff out at the bar. He came back out with my breakfast burrito and told me my acai bowl would be coming out shortly. Breakfast burrito was poorly wrapped - you can see that it was already starting to fall apart on the plate. I recommend that it could be wrapped in foil to help maintain it's shape. That being said, the contents were solid and it was tasty enough. The acai bowl was bad. The fruit was likely not fresh - the bluberries were literally frozen and some were frozen in a block of ice which was kind of disgusting.... I could literally see the corner that it had frozen into. Granola was weird - some parts were super stale and hard, hurt my teeth and others were normal. Anyway - it's fine if youre hungry and its the only thing open but def don't get the acai :)

    The extraordinary Paula at Cafe Waikīkī

    The quintessential Hawaiian dish, loco moco is fabulous here at Cafe Waikīkī ... beef party is seasoned and seared with crispy edges, fried rice (vs white rice) is a treat, and you may think there is too much gravy, it is not! So ono! And if you are lucky enough to get to meet Paula, she is an amazing baker! We got to place orders for her banana bread (different flavors: lilikoi, mango, pineapple, ube) and with or without nuts-so moist, light, and not cloyingly sweet-it is truly a treat! Mahalo Paula! Aloha until next time

    Bagel n' Lox! on everything Bagel! Delish  Great vibes and awesome service
    Avelyn S.

    I love their Bagel n' Lox on everything bagel ! Their barista's were awesome. Will definitely recommend to my friends. Very convenient location and great place for family.

    C-dub açai bowl
    Mike A.

    Pretty good spot in the Kuhio Avenue Food Hall. They make all kinds of smoothies, a few breakfast items, coffee. I tried the c-dub açai bowl, and added peanut butter on it. I wish they had almond butter instead. It tasted pretty good. It was served in a carved pineapple, which was a nice touch.

    Ali'i bowl. Are they the same as menu?
    Ben L.

    I was expecting somewhat different. When i search random acai bowls, usually there are full of fruits on bowl, and prettier.

    Pineapple banana bread

    Do not miss the banana bread here! Fresh ingredients - moist, clearly made with love and care. They take custom orders too! We asked for nuts and they asked us which kind we wanted! We chose macadamia! Banana without nuts, banana with macadamia, banana Ube with macadamia, banana pineapple - all GREAT! Ask for Paula. Her service is stellar - she bakes for you like your sibling or cousin might. You are truly treated like Ohana here! Have the bread for your room, poolside snacks, beach snacks, on the plane heading home. It's that good!

    Açaí bowl
    Anjelic B.

    The açaí bowl was alright, good portion for sure. The loco moco was also good, flavorful. Service was fast and friendly. That's about it

    chunky monkey smoothie- 10/10 my highest recommendation!!
    Molly R.

We didn't try it until the very end of our vacation, but we noticed it was always busy--and now we know why! Everything we had was delicious, especially the smoothies. Their menu also includes waffles, sandwiches, paninis, hot and iced coffee, açaí bowls, Italian sodas, and more, making it a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack. Before you leave, be sure to browse their gift selection. They have a great assortment of Hawaiian coffee and other locally inspired items that are perfect for taking home as souvenirs or gifts. Definitely a must-try while you're in Waikiki!

    This place has been my absolute favorite for good drinks and breakfast food…read more I was staying at the Outrigger Hotel that is attached to this cafe and I went here almost every single day. Food: 5/5 I was able to try several of their brunch items including their Ham & Cheese Croissant, their Turkey Pest Sandwich, and their Traditional Waffle. Almost all of them were a hit! I especially liked their Turkey Pesto. It paired beautifully with their salad. Their breakfast waffle was also light and fluffy and their fruit was fresh. Drinks: 5/5 I tried their many lattes, coffees, smoothies. Their açaí smoothie was not my favorite because it had a lot of unblended seeds. I did love their leans & green smoothie, it had so many fruits and greens in it, and it also tasted so good. Service: 5/5 This place had wonderful service. All of their servers were so kind and they explained their menu so well. The food and drinks came out pretty timely and everything was fresh to order. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is attached to the Outrigger Hotel so they share a cafe area with the pool. It was beautiful to be able to enjoy breakfast by the poolside. It was giving summer vibes outside. Inside their cafe was very tropical with plants everywhere. I would definitely come back here for the food, the drinks, the happy hour, the ambiance, and the service!
