    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!

    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.

    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.

    Incredible food!! The guava chiffon & mango chiffon pancakes are scrumptious. The cinnamon roll pancakes also deserve an honorable mention. There is truly not one thing on the menu that we've had that wasn't stellar. There is indoor & outdoor seating and almost always quite a wait. Highly recommend you try out this favorite on a week day to avoid the hour wait- either way, well worth it!

    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!

    Service was great! Andrea was our server and she kept our drink cups full and gave us updates throughout our service. Thank you Andrea! The food was delicious. I had the cinnamon short stack pancakes with banana and a side of the boneless kalbi. I was very satisfied. We were seated in the middle patio plaza, so you have to be mindful of the birds. They are always watching. I'll be back at cinnamons for their cinnamon pancakes, kalbi and amazing service!

    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!!!

    This is one of the best breakfast places in all of Oahu handsdown. Their guava chiffon pancakes are amazing. Their Lokomoko is one of the best we've ever had. There farmers omelette is massive chuck full of cheddar cheese, green onions, ham, bacon, and sweet Maui onions. It's enough to feed two people and comes with your choice of pancakes or several different kinds of breads. The service is great, the prices are reasonable.

    Amazing
    Joshua D.

    The loco moco was on point. The gravy, the rice, the burger, and that egg cooked just right--it all came together perfectly. That's one of those dishes that can go wrong quick, but they nailed it. Sides were solid too--crispy bacon, well-seasoned potatoes, and everything came out hot and fresh. Portions were generous, definitely left full. Service felt welcoming and laid-back, like a place you can come back to with family and just enjoy a good meal without overthinking it. Overall, this is one of those spots you don't overhype--you just come, eat, and leave happy. Would 100% come back.

    Lechon Kewali - this plate tasted spoiled drenched with the vinegar sauce and the mac salad was nasty - tasted spoiled weird.

    I wish I could give this review a 4, 5 star. Andrea was so awesome, wonderful, and nice. Awesome customer service. I don't like the outdoor seating. It's hot and flies bothering me :( I rather eat inside, ac and away from flies, but I guess cuz we had jellybean with us in the stroller, they sat us outside. Bathroom is upstairs. I'm too fat to walk upstairs lol ahhh I'm just grumbling. I think the last time we came cinnamons, we wasn't too happy with the food. This time was better. I got the kalua pig Benedict, and wife got a ham plate with tater tots and short stack. Wife was bragging about her ham. Was so good and tender! She let me try a bite, and it was really good, My go to kalua pig Benedict was good as always. Of course, no can go wrong with pancakes. I would normally order my red velvet pancakes, but not this time. We was on a time crunch cuz wife had a doctor appointment next door. Hopefully I'll have a better review next time! Go to Cinnamon's to get your pancake and Benedict fix!

    Salmon Furikake
    Daniel S.

    Was thoroughly impressed by the quality of service amongst the staff that interacted with me. I ordered the Salmon Furikake since the Food Wars Anime had made Furikake seem like such an exceptional dish! I could not wait to try it! I was NOT disappointed! It was so good. The decor is quite delightful & the ambiance is pleasant.

    Lechon Kawali Moco
    Jade S.

    Amazing service with great staff! The pancakes were perfection and not too sweet. We liked pairing it with the savory dishes. The lechon was crisp and seasoned well. We got the side of gravy which we highly recommend! It adds a great sauce to pretty much everything. The mahi was dry and not as full of a plate compared to everything else. The Kalua was delicious. Potatoes were average. We would come back for the pancakes and moco ! They had a wait but nothing crazy and food came out fast

    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.

"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.

Upon entering, you enter through the short wooden gate by sliding it lol. Was all confused because signs said "the Garden to your left, Boardroom to the right", so we kind of passed the entrance, going around the corner, and noticed that there wasn't another entrance on the other side, and that's when we figured the short wooden sliding gate was the entrance lol as you walk in, it's an outdoor establishment, lots of seats everywhere. With this yelp elite experience, we got to have a pizza and a dole whip. They have a menu posted up, and you order at the truck. They don't start serving pizza till 11, so we left cuz we was too early, and wanted to take advantage of our yelp perk, so went to go run errands and came back around 2PM ish. We got a pepperoni pizza, vanilla dole whip, and I ordered a maitai. Pizza was good. Dole whip was good, and Maitai was good. Everything was good! I loved that we got to make our way here to take advantage of my yelp elite perk because if wasn't for this yelp event, on any other normal day, we would just pass this place, not even knowing what this place has to offer! One thing about this place is that it's hotttt, if u go in the day. And for me, alcohol and hotness does not go together lol Since they open till 9, I would think it's probably cooler when sun is down. Love pet friendly places. We got to bring our jellybean with us. Cool spot to chill, have a few. Shout out to Eric for taking care of us. Awesome customer service. Only had him working all morning. Go check this place out. Don't forget to tip :)

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!
