    Cinnamons!
    Frankie M.

    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).

    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

    Cute coffee cups

    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!

    Grand Opening on June 1, 2026 in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i... Cinnamon's is a popular brunch spot since 1985... yes! They've been around for 41 years! Today, they opened a cozy Cafe in the same courtyard as the restaurant... in the Kailua Square building, on the Ground Level. The shared metered parking lot is convenient for customers. There's also metered street parking. Inside, the environment is cute... and service is friendly and efficient! I got the Salted Strawberry Yuzu-Citrus Cooler. It was sweet, savory, and tangy! I added water to it at home, even after the ice melted! It's concentrated! I'll be back for cookies, iced coffees, baked goods, and cream sodas! Congratulations and Best Wishes on your new adventure!

    Special Portuguese and Bean loco moco

    We arrived around 1pm on a Wednesday and our party of 7 were seated right away in the patio area. We had a baby in our party and it was nice to be able to have space to walk around with her and browse the surrounding shops so she wouldn't get bored. Food was delicious. I had the crab cakes and they were delicious. A little bready but the flavor was great. We also had the waffles, french toast, special Portuguese loco moco with beans, some other dishes, I can't remember but alI were very good. I am still full writing this review 5 hours later. Maybe it's because the food was smothered in butter? I'm not complaining. Our group all left happy.

    09.03.2026 @ 11:55am Walk in for a table of 4. Our server is so friendly, cute and such a sweetie when she speaks. Order was good and flavorful with huge portion. We each ordered our own plates and we shared. By the time my shrimp omelette came (not sure why too longer) cause we were half way done and was full already so we had to doggie bag my untouched shrimp omelette. Overall it was yummy in our tummy.

    Kalbi

    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.

    Lechon Kawali Moco
    Jasmine I.

    The food is always delicious here! Lechon loco moco with fried rice had the perfect amount of vinegar and the pork belly was nice and crispy. Parking is usually pretty full, you may need to find street parking but it's worth it!

    Meat n eggs

    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

    Da Moe Moe Moco

    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!

    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.

    Loco moco

    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!

    Guava pancakes
    John C.

    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.

    Do they offer anything gluten free?

    The salmon is im not so sure about the other ones maybe you could ask because it's fresh

    Are they open at 7 or 8? Instagram profile says 7, yelp is 8.

    I would call to make sure. Their hours varried by day. We went during the week and it was open at 8.

    Are you open on Christmas Day?

    The website hasn't been changed, we open at 7am

    Are there any gluten free/vegan options?

    Gluten free options only signified by GF

    What is the best vegan option at this place? Thank you in advance! ❤️

    Not a big vegan place. But there Italian & Fiesta omelettes are delish, no meat in them, meat can be added for a small coat. Meat can be eliminated from Mucho Nachos. And the pancakes are awesome.

    Do they sell the guava pancake jam?

    No they don't.

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes, for parties of 8 or more and everyone needs to be present to be sat. There is a 15 minute grace period upon your reservation time and reservations must be made at least an hour in advance.

    Nice place to have family brunch after church in fresh air…read more Food: We like the sandwiches! The BLTA is a favorite-BLT with Avocado, Big Boy Sammie, and breakfast burrito were very tasty today. The Belgian waffles are cakier than some places. Service: pleasant, friendly, efficient for a small place. Location -convenient to find on a Main Street in Kailua, near the Sunday market. Parking is harder to find. If you can't find street parking, it might be easier to park in the Manoa Chocolate parking lot -with metered parking.

    I do love Lilikoi…read more.. So you know I was surprised to see a beautifully painted building of a surfer girl, octopus tentacles and cute classic VW bus and had to see what was there and it's located right down the street from the Aloha Home Market which is the reason I was in Kailua and after a bit of browsing I got hungry and knew I had to see what Lilikoi Kitchen had to offer. Slightly confused as it shares a small space with a tattoo parlor though walking in the do make the most of the space as there's a service area where there's two ladies doing it all and immediately informed me that it will take approximately 25 minutes for any orders which is great to know upfront. Menu is quite impressive for this cute cafe and though there are many items that caught my cravings it has to have Lilikoi...right!? Monte Cristo is ham, provolone cheese with Lilikoi jam grilled between Japanese style white bread and Lilikoi Iced Tea is the perfect pairing on this Sunday afternoon and gosh what a treat! The cheese pull was insane and the grill was done with perfect marks as you can see it wasn't rushed and grilled perfectly and I loved that it came with some greens and of course Lilikoi dressing...yum! There are some high bar type seating inside but decided that the outside was much more comfy and really enjoyed it all the iced tea was perfectly balance with Lilikoi, the wait can be avoided with a phone order but I rarely plan that early and had no idea it even existed but will be back for the other items. Thank you!

The ordering counter and cashier is right as you enter along with thr pastry counter. Same deals with thr kapolei location you order and find your own table and put number so they can find you when your order is up. Inside is airconditioned with around maybe 10 tables and chairs some seat 2 others eat 4 and they also have outside patio seating back and front. The parking can be challenging having maybe 10 -12 spots in their lot and some street parking . Their Menu is a bit more limited than their other location. Sandwiches.. pizza and other stuff oh and coffee. The only thing that wasmt as good as their kapolei location was they didnt have the thin crispy salty cravable fries they only had small bags of chips available The food is always good and the service was real good.

Water is self-serve, and the setup feels more like a cafeteria than a traditional sit-down restaurant. That said, the staff has always been friendly and welcoming, which makes for a pleasant experience. I usually order the chicken pesto sandwich, which is always a great choice, but today I decided to branch out and try the Beach Burger and the Margherita Pizza. Both were absolutely delicious and definitely worth ordering again. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. It has a relaxed, coastal vibe that makes you feel like you're dining at a beachfront café, even if you're not right on the sand. Overall, it's a great spot for good food, a laid-back environment, and friendly service. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Topped with cheddar, Swiss (no sprouts) you're also able to top your sandwich with Lettuce, Tomatoes, Cucumber (no onion) is amazing and absolutely loved it and with the staff suggestion of Everything bagel was it and loved it.
