Cinnamon's is an absolute hidden gem on the island of Oahu. Located in the small quaint town of Kailua. They serve up some of the best breakfast and lunch options around town! It's no wonder they've been in business for almost 40 years now, serving their community with that Aloha spirit! Our server Andrea was awesome! She made some great recommendations and was super attentive to our family. Parking was easily accessible (parking meters enforced daily / .75 for 3 hrs). Surprisingly, there was no wait time (we arrived around 8am). I ordered the house special- Hot Meat Loco Moco (sautéed Korean boneless beef with hot chili sauce, garlic, daikon, on a bed of steamed rice, topped with two eggs, served with macaroni salad and pickled onions). Absolutely delicious! My wife and son shared the famous Guava Chiffon Pancakes 10/10!!! The guava syrup- chefs kiss!!! And my daughters shared the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes (topped with sweet condensed milk). We also ordered a side of bacon and spam. Overall, we had an exceptional dining experience and we will definitely be back before our trip is over (it was that good). read more

Oh hello yummy! Great pancakes /variety! Cinnamon pancakes look like a cinnamon roll had a baby w/a pancake ! I had the guava chiffon short stack (2 huge ones!!!). Thai .. yasss! , Pork Verde..... something.... Sorry.. was delicious too. Pancakes loaded with guava syrup.. sweet, tart.. yum. Service was even better. Kind, helpful, magnificent; especially Georgia. Georgia is a shining example of hospitality, kindness, knowledge, experience and humor. Count yourself lucky if you have her as your guide and server. Whatever she is paid is not enough. I would return again on my next trip from S.F. read more

After an early morning beach day, me and some friends came here for brunch and had a really good experience. We were seated right away with no wait, which was nice since I know this place can get busy. Everyone working there was friendly and made us feel welcome from the start. The food was delicious. We had the Kalua Pork Eggs Benedict, the French Dip, and the Guava Chiffon Pancakes. Everything tasted fresh, and the pancakes definitely lived up to the hype. I also liked the atmosphere. It has a laid-back island vibe that's comfortable and not too fancy. It was clean, relaxing, and just a nice place to enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. I'd definitely come back here. Great food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. If you're in Kailua looking for breakfast or brunch, I'd recommend giving Cinnamon's a try. read more

Food: French drip was good with the au jus, but the meat was a little dry on its own. Lilikoi chiffon pancakes was a good first bite. However became very one note after a couple bites. Service: Friendly staff but service was a little slow despite not being super busy Ambiance: Cute brunch spot with lots of seating! Very causal read more

Sometimes you get in the mood for a special breakfast.... I mean a REALLY special breakfast!   I've got the perfect choice - CINNAMON'S Restaurant in Kailua!   I've heard people say it was good but never had a chance to go.   I'm so glad I went!   Let me share..... The parking lot is pretty big so you have a pretty good chance of finding parking.  The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating.   My friends and I chose the outdoor seating and we were glad we did.  With the covered, large patio area, you get the cool breeze and fresh air.   Just sitting outside you feel comfortable to relaxed!   Note:   You will get occasional birds that come by....but we didn't find it to be problem at all. We decided that we were gong to each order a different thing and share.   We ordered the following: CHORIZO SHRIMP OMELETTE - If you love a bit of spice like me, you'll love this.   I remember having Mexican chorizo in California and this has the same taste.   The omelet is packed with flavor and it's HUGE!   We ordered it with the fried potatoes.   I honestly could've just eaten this omelette, it was that good!! FRENCH TOAST -- ya gotta get that little bit of sweetness to enjoy with your coffee!    They serve sweet bread french toast.   It's very similar to others that I've had at other places.  Not unique but it was good. CORNED BEEF HASH WITH EGGS - This was a special request from one of my friends.  Homemade corned beef hash -- you can't go wrong.   I think the other winner on this plate was those crunchy....super crunchy tater tots.  OMG, they were so good!!   I think the next time I will order this with an over-easy egg so I can dip those tots in my yolk ---- you'all know the goodness in that, right?!!! I definitely recommend!    The prices are pretty reasonable and the portion sizes are big.   I totally recommend everyone ordering a dish and do family style so you can sample a taste of everything! read more

Another great breakfast at cinnamon! It's a holiday Monday mid morning breakfast and wait was about 20 minutes! No problem seated w/ drinks but breakfast took a bit to be delivered to our table. It was the same thing on our last visit too. But as long as water and coffee refiled it wasn't a problem since we weren't rushing to anything afterwards! Their kitchen seems to get back logged easily so plan on waiting for a table and your food! People here especially the servers are all great and service drinks often which is a big plus. Seated inside this time and the chairs are much more comfortable. Food portions like the eggs Benedict seem small considering their price point. Loco mono and omelets portions are far more generous. The 1/2 order of eggs Benedict had less 2 tablespoons of Hollandaise sauce not enough ! It did come with a generous portion of tater tots. Baja breakfast was ok Pancakes were ok A bit disappointing is it read more

Tip: Go on a weekday for little to no wait. Most know of the yummy breakfast choices. On our last visit, we made a new discovery...kalbi! A friend ordered kalbi because they didn't feel like breakfast. Sooo glad they did. The kalbi was delicious! The beef was a thicker cut & well marinated, tho a bit on the sweet side. The fried fish sandwich included 2 crispy pieces. The mango chiffon pancakes & kalua pork benedict were yummy, as usual. read more

There's seating inside and outside. We called ahead to accommodate a party of nine to make the hosts/hostess' lives easier (former host here & I was a host for like two months) The food is very local & super flavorful. I couldn't get photos from across the table but for $20-$30 the dish is very worth its size. Four of us (including me) shared three plates: Lilikoi pancakes, veggie frittata, and a loco moco but with kalua pork & beef stew & lau lau. The lilikoi pancakes were absolutely so flavorful and it didn't taste artificial flavoring. It was super sweet and the pancakes were fluffy and soft. My friend also got the red velvet pancakes which were super yummy as well. The Loco Moco with Kalua pig & lau lau: covered in beef stew was amazing. It was a big plate and it was just a correct combo of all three dishes. The Veggie Frittata was good the vegetables weren't that prominent but it was still flavorful. I didn't know what we ordered at first so I was confused by this flat dish. The service was quick & they checked up on us a lot! We went around 10:30AM after the beach, so I think the breakfast menu was still there! read more

Honestly, 5 star. I'll tell you why. The parking lot is a shared lot but plenty of metered spots. The pot holes are something to navigate but not this restaurants fault I suppose. My wait time on Sunday was 30 min or less, so that wasn't bad at all and there are plenty of shops around to browse until the table is ready. The restaurant was quite busy, but that's to be expected due to the location and amazing food. I got the Kalbi Moco and it was soooooooooooo good. Highly recommend with over easy eggs. My breakfast partner got the eggs Benedict, but got both the Kalua Pork and Mac Nut Mahi. He liked the Kalua Pork the best. We also shared guava chaffon pancakes which were delicious. All served with coffee and water. Service was excellent and Aunteh gave plenty of recommendations. Can't wait to come back. read more

Cinnamons is hands down my favorite place for breakfast. They are always busy, but the turn around is generally quick and the wait isn't too long. Food is amazing and the service is awesome. I normally get an eggs Benedict, loco moco, or omelette... and you gotta get their guava chiffon pancakes. The parking lot is metered. Enjoy! read more

Food was beautiful and sooo tasty. You really can't get red velvet pancakes like this anywhere else. The Hawaiian plate was the perfect breakfast straight off the plane. Andrea our server was delightful and so thoughtful, we loved her!! Sayaka our host was also soo kind even though we missed her text and were late to collect our table! It was a great day at Cinnamon's. And their sweet shop is great too- i think they make the lattes over there and come over to the restaurant with them to serve. read more

Cinnamon's Restaurant - 1 PC Guava Pancake 1 PC Red Velvet Pancake Hawaiian Plate (Lunch Is 11-2) - Pancakes Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

Came here after the Pillbox hike before heading to the beach. Thankfully there was no wait and plenty 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. read more

Cinnamon's Restaurant - Guava Chiffon Short (2), Loco Moco, crab cakes - Pancakes Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

I have been coming to **Cinnamon's** since 2008, and I can honestly say the quality has never wavered. 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! read more

It's definitely something I order every time I am here. The loco moco was very good as well. It's a good place for breakfast with family and friends. The environment is great too, tons of seating and overall very enjoyable. read more

Completely satisfied with this choice! It's the family's first time in Hawaii and we wanted to try something close to the beach we were going to. Everything was a 10/10. The sitting was super cute in the courtyard and cute inside. Our waiter was attentive and the food came out quickly. Hubby got the recommended short ribs and potatoes, I got the mahi mahi eggs Benedict and our son got the strawberry chiffon pancakes (daily special). No complaints , everything was fresh and delicious!! Highly recommend read more

This restaurant has one of the biggest menus I've ever seen! Whether you're craving a hearty breakfast with eggs and breakfast meats, pancakes, burgers, sandwiches, or even nachos, there's something for just about everyone. I visited on a weekday before the summer season, and the service was good. The wait was very reasonable, and the staff kept things moving efficiently. The food was delicious, and the portion sizes were generous, so I definitely left full. I've also driven by recently during the summer season, and the place was absolutely packed. While I didn't stop because of the crowd, it's pretty clear they're doing something right if they're consistently that busy. Overall, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. Just be prepared for a wait during peak summer months or on weekends. If you can go during an off-peak time, it's well worth the visit! read more

Cinnamon's Restaurant - Banana Mac nut Special Pancake - Pancakes Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

We came in for a pre-Easter brunch and it took about 20 minutes to be seated. We ordered red velvet pancakes, guava chiffon pancakes, thai tea french toast, kalbi moco, shaken beef loco moco and an omelette. The portions are large and definitely made to share. The prices are reasonable and there was so much food! Our server was nice and the restaurant was large and spacious without being too crowded. The food came out quickly and everything was good! The pancakes were on the denser and sweeter side and the thai tea french toast had boba inside but it was odd and a little too hard. The shaken beef moco was delicious and the kalbi moco was also good! It would have been nice to come with some gravy on the side. The omelette was also ginormous and full of fillings. Parking is available in the lot or side streets. Overall it's a great classic brunch spot and always a good option in Kailua! read more

Me and my family came for breakfast and had a wonderful time eating under their gazebo inside the restaurant. I ordered their popular guava pancake and my wife ordered their newly tested Mac nut coconut pancakes. My son had their spam and rice with egg. I loved their guava pancake! The guava syrup has a nice glaze to it. It's rich, sweet but also had a nice thin coating around the pancake. This one is worth trying. We also enjoyed their Mac nut coconut pancakes. These were so delicious! The pancake had shredded coconut inside too for texture. The white Mac nut sauce is thick and creamy. It's sweet too and can get you pretty full. I will say, they should full-on coat their pancakes with sauce rather than just the top stack. This place is great and I will definitely come back again. read more

The food here is good. We live their pancakes. Their food portions are big. It's in a great location in Kailua so we meet here about once a month. As long as we are there before 8:45, seating is quick. Your entire party needs to be there before you can be seated. They have expanded seating in the courtyard so they can service more people. The place is casual and most of the servers have been great! read more

We randomly came across his place after we went to LaniKai Beach. It was delicious. We ordered the guava pancakes and one of the Benedicts and got lattes. This is such a cute, homey spot. I think it's been around for quite some time. Our food really hit the spot. The pancakes are definitely a must get. Don't skip out on them. They are pretty heavy. You could easily split two pancakes. read more

Cinnamon's was my favorite breakfast I had on the island. I'm still thinking about their cinnamon roll pancakes and loco moco. So much flavor and just perfect- you need try both dishes. We came here pretty early before a beach day and it's a cozy old school vibe spot. The workers are friendly and attentive with filling the water cups. If you're in the area or just looking for a solid breakfast joint, Cinnamon's is it. read more

Incredible food!! The guava chiffon & mango chiffon pancakes are scrumptious. The cinnamon roll pancakes also deserve an honorable mention.

Very flavorful and super crispy. I also tried their peach cobbler pancakes, and it was delicious overall I would write a 10 out of 10. I will definitely come back here before I leave to go back home. I drove about 30 minutes, but it was definitely worth. read more

This is a lovely restaurant in Kailua that heard great things so needed to try when i was on the Windward side of Oahu. The restaurant was beautifuly decorated for Christmas! So festive! Lots of seating inside and out cause it can get very crowded! The food was great! My daughter had the 3 egg omelett filled with portugese sausage, spinach and cheese! It was huge! She could get a short stack of specialty guava pancakes for $4.95 extra! What a deal! The pancakes were fluffy topped with guava sauce and whipped cream! My youngest daughter ordered the Traditional Eggs Benedict and i ordered the one with crab. Each came with a large side of home potatoes! A friend ordered the fried chicken which was crispy! Reason for only 4 stars is that gnats were flying all over our food that it became irritating and annoying! read more

The service is delightful here. We had Georgia and she was so lovely, warm, and kind. This was my first time at this location but I have had thr pancakes before when there was a Cinammon's at the Ilikai. It was worth it to drive here for the pancakes again. Definitely get them if you like guava. They also have a couple other ones I would have liked to try if we had a bigger party to share with because the portion is huge. The benedict was really perfect. I love that they have mocktail mimosas if you are feeling fancy but don't want to drink alcohol in the morning. The interior is so lovely. We were seated by a lighted up gazebo..indoors!! It was so cute! Would definitely recommend this place. read more

They are always watching. I'll be back at cinnamons for their cinnamon pancakes, kalbi and amazing service! read more

The REIGNING and STILL CHAMPION Breakfast Spot in the WORLD....CINNAMONS!!!! Not gonna lie I was nervous. It's been 10+ years since I've been to Cinnamons on Oahu and first place was on the line going up against Breakfast Club in San Jose. The intangibles held up and Cinnamons keeps its title! I got the exact same order I did 10 years ago and yes I still remembered it! Hawaiian omelette, red velvet pancakes, and smooth coffee! The wife got a signature Eggs Benedict but that's beside the point. What Cinnamons has in its favor is charm and the ocean. Having an omelette with fresh kalua pork and white fish is just something no one else can replicate! The red velvet pancakes have a cream cheese sauce and is outstanding. Pair that with their unique blend of Hawaiian coffee and you have the perfect breakfast! Our waitress Nicole and the whole staff are filled with Aloha and never rushed us though the line was getting longer and longer after 9am. Parking can be tricky as it is very in a shopping center and the EVERY SPOT is metered (but they take debit card too). At the End of the Day Cinnamons was my favorite spot in the world in 2015 and I don't see anyone taking the crown anytime soon!!! read more
