    Paula and her delicious food!
    Elwin W.

    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!

    Loco moco

    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.

    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

    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.

    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)
    Josephine T.

    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 :)

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    delicious smoothies, kind employees, fast service, cute spot. best place for a cold healthy smoothie that tastes great.

    Avocado toast

    Absolutely loved this place! Cafe Waikiki on the left at one of the entrances to the food hall. It's a cute little corner spot! There's a large selection of food ranging from açaí bowls to crepes and bagels/ toast. There was also a decent selection of coffee options. I came around lunch time on a Tuesday and it wasn't too busy. The customer service was superb and Bryan and Jan were super helpful in answering my questions and even recommending some things. They were super warm and welcoming and I'd even come back just for them! I ordered a latte and the avocado toast to go. The presentation was great and the taste did not disappoint! The avocado toast was on sourdough bread which was definitely my favorite part. They also put both an avocado spread and sliced avocados on top which I thought made it even better! The latte was also super good. Their espresso was nice and smooth to my liking and their syrups added some nice flavor without it being overpowering. Overall, I really loved my experience here and highly recommend everyone visits!

It is an order and pick up at the counter eatery. My daughter (an açaí bowl junkie) had read the reviews and really wanted to try an açai bowl so we set out to find it. We visited on a Monday morning for breakfast. The decor is beachy and tropical . The vibe is casual and relaxed. It has a tiny indoor seating area and a few tables outside. We sat outside. We ordered a latte, an açai bowl, and a smoothie. I was bummed that my smoothie could not be customized. The base was premade so I was not able to make any adjustments to it. Our items were ready in a reasonable amount of time. The portion size was a little smaller than we expected. As for taste, the açai bowl was good. The smoothie was a little bland, but at the same time, had a tad too much honey. Service was wonderful. We would visit again.

It is also the best thing I have had on my one-week trip to Hawaii. Let me start by saying I visited this place two years ago and made it my mission to come back. Since my group of nine decided to book a trip to Hawaii, this was the first thing I added to the itinerary. And again, it did not disappoint. The service is top tier. The busser saw our large group come in and asked if we wanted to sit at a table we were eyeing, then cleaned it off for us and added extra seating so all of us could fit. The cashier was also very nice, and once your order is ready, the workers explain the toppings bar so you can dress your açaí bowl however you want (coconut flakes, granola, honey, chia seeds, etc.). I got the regular açaí bowl, and again, it is the best açaí bowl I have ever had. The açaí is thick and very rich, and you can tell the blend is real açaí and the berries on top are fresh. The topping bar is a great touch because you can customize it to your liking. It is sweet but not overly sweet or artificial tasting. It also takes a long time to melt, so you can take your time eating it. We also got a couple waffles on the side, and those were good too.

The juices here are really amazing, which says a lot for my partner and me as we typically turn our noses down on them because they taste too healthy and disgusting for us lol. Not this place though. We tried the following: - Blue Hawaii - seasonal special. Gingery and zesty. - ALOH signature - wow, what a delicious and refreshing green juice! Can't believe how healthy and how much vegetables are in it--yet, it doesn't taste "awful" as other green juices I've tried at other places. - Likelike - amazing beet juice. It's a bit sweeter than the other juices, thanks to the beet. - Macadamia latte (hot with oat milk) - oops, I accidentally ordered it with oat milk instead of macadamia milk. By the time I realized my error, it was too late and the drink was in my hand already. Thus, the macadamia flavor wasn't very strong, but it wasn't bad either. - Mahana latte (iced) - great and refreshing, but not as complex as I expected based on the many ingredients listed for this drink. I think the espresso flavor was very strong and cut right through all other ingredients. Some people may delight in that, while others maybe less so. - Basil pesto toast - simple but good and filling. Comes in two pieces, which makes it easy to share with another person.

Their matcha is really good creamy and not bitter. The acai bowl tasted fresh, and I loved all the ingredients. The only thing I didnt like about were the blueberries, they were consistently sour, so maybe bc it's not in season. Overall, it's a great spot to check out !

It has won Open Table Customer Favorite Award, Trip Advisor Customer Favorite Award, and several local awards, so we thought we'd give it a try.

Go up the stairs outside to get to the door, then the dining room is up a few more stairs inside. There are several tables and a cool table in the corner set up with pillows that give it a"loungy" effect. It's got a beachy look with reclaimed wood walls, surfboards, and high wood beamed ceiling. We sat by the open air window, which was nice because you can see down onto people passing on the sidewalk from the second level. Our server was really good and the drinks and food came out fast.
