    Special: cured salmon on bagel
    Jenel O.

    How have I never reviewed this place?!? I guess I always take photos and enjoy my food that I forget to. The restaurant is really cute. Check the hours as I think it's primary a breakfast/brunch/lunch spot. The food and coffee is always good here. You should make reservations though as they do get crowded (at least on Saturdays). A MUST is to always ask what the specials are. There is a gypsy egg dish that is simply delicious - it's like an amplified version of shakshuka - sooo tasty! I also always enjoy their cured salmon. The quiche is also very good. We had this other dish (see pics) with gravy and mushrooms, it is very good but you need to order this ahead of time (when you call to make the reservation and even at that, it may not be available). We typically park on the street in the metered parking area. I believe the building does have parking, but we've never parked there.

    The food was amazing and service was good. The ambiance was excellent and I loved the decor. I recommend trying the ketchup with the potato. The amount is very small for the price and you may need two depending on how much you use. The crepe forestiere was also good.

    Burger
    Alyssa D.

    Food: delicious blue cheese on the gourmet burger. Beignets were so fresh and fluffy but also VERY messy. Save your $3 on the chocolate sauce as it was nothing super special. Service: at first not good. The second the real boss came in (chef) he turned that shop around. I guess you can make reservations but a family next to us said they couldn't even make one. So I guess it's an option but not a viable one. Ambiance: cute cobbler esthetic but the tables are VERY small. Won't be coming here to dine in again but take away is an option.

    Potato Mille feule
    Sherrie K.

    Love the Mille fille potatoes-- crispy on the outside and soft and billowy on the inside. Perfect and just the way a potato should be served! I hear this is an English staple and not hard to make, but when done right absolutely delicious. Here it's served with your choice of different sauces, including harissa, homemade ketchup or Demi glaze. This is a must try. The ham and cheese croissant was just as expected... Layers of delicious salty ham smothered between cheese and served crispy and hot. Simple breakfast well done. Good coffee too! Street parking is best.

    Gourmet burger and crepe forestier

    Food was creative, the taste was just alright. The crepe was pretty burnt throughout the entire bottom (burnt + arugula is not a very good taste). Burger was alright there was pretty minimal toppings and it was a bit on the drier side...so maybe I should've used the gravy more; they said I could switch bleu cheese to cheddar, but they ended up giving me bleu cheese. We didn't say anything though...didn't want to wait another 30 mins for food. The potato mille-fiuelle was good though! $20 is pretty steep for it as an appetizer on its own, but I got it as part of the burger, so that was nice. Our food took over 30 mins to come out but the table besides us had it worse...they easily waited at least an hour (they had to follow up to see if their order was still coming...since people like us had gone from waiting for a table to getting food before they even got appetizers). The front of house didn't seem understaffed (3 waitresses for less than a dozen indoor/outdoor tables, and they were all very nice) but maybe the kitchen was For $50+ for two dishes not including tax and tip, I would not really recommend this place to anyone...

    Wow, what an incredible place. The staff is so accommodating and polite. The restaurant is modern yet cozy and relaxing. The food was incredible all around. We had the Crepe Forestiere, Ham and Cheese Croissant, Potato Millie Fueille, Farmhouse Salad, Sausage dish. All foods were flavorful and fresh. Incredible experience. Will be back soon!

    I came here for an acai bowl. Whenever I visit Honolulu, I like to try a new acai place, so I came here with a friend. The staff was very friendly. The place was lively with both locals and tourists. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from Ala Moana Shopping Center, so the location isn't very convenient for tourists. Rating: -Taste: 3/5 (average) -Portion size: 4/5 (just right) -Price: around $16 -Seating: 4/5 (comfortable indoor seating) -Location: 2/5 (a bit far for tourists) -Service: 5/5 (very friendly and helpful) Overall: 3.5/5 - Decent acai with excellent service, but the location makes it slightly inconvenient for visitors.

    "Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself." - Coco Chanel This place had me on an emotional roller coaster! Farmhouse Cafe was a high and low foodie experience and it's not that time of the month for moi! Probably living in Japan has my standards up, but a simple greeting would be nice, right? My twin, really my best lady friend, wanted to treat me to brunch after my disappearing act in Asia. I wanted someplace easy to go to with good reviews. Farmhouse Cafe near Ala Moana Mall in the 808 building on Sheridan was my choice. Upon entering we were... eh, ngl we were not greeted and completely ignored. Alpha me could not just stand there, so after a few minutes, I looked at my twin and asked if she was up to going elsewhere. Instead she calmed me down and came to the conclusion they were understaffed. I didn't see it that way, I just saw inefficiency and zero common sense, so I decided to approach the counter even though a sign says to "Wait to be Seated". Ok, no problem waiting as long as someone greets us and tells us to wait! The lady at the counter next says to "just wait" huh? Hmm we are waiting, just acknowledge us or explain your waiting system. Jeezuz! I have low tolerance for people that won't admit mistakes or plain ignorant. So as we are waiting, the chef, Zouhair Zairi, approaches us and says to wait outside. I'm no stranger to French cuisine bro, so calm down and... and then he apologizes and explains how they are short staffed. Ah! I was tempted debating efficiency, politeness, but instead bit my tongue knowing my twin wanted to eat here. Besides she was right on they being understaffed. Oh nvm we are finally seated lol! We are handed the menus (finally) and explained to order the food and drinks at the same time by the chef! So odd, but having experienced French restaurants in the non touristy parts of Paris, I finally admitted to myself he wasn't intentionally being rude. All the time my twin only cared about what to drink lol! Let's ignore the chaos. Oui, oui! Wagyu Burger with Bleu Cheese, Demi-glace & Potato Mille-Feuille for the lady. Mediterranean Omelette with Feta, Potato Mille-Feuille, Buttered Toast with Fruit Jam for the gent. Two Hibiscus Iced Teas. French Beignets with Strawberry dip ordered for take-out. So let's talk the cuisine! If we're only reviewing the cuisine I'd be at 4-5 stars it was delicious! Everything organic, fresh, and tasty. I could taste the French in every bite and we were truly satisfied! To me, the Beignets that we shared afterwards was the star! In the end, it may have started with bad juju and my patience being tested, but fortunately I was with a kind soul that reminded me (& treated me sigh) that it may not be as it seems per se. Yes, they were understaffed, but in my eyes the three employees were sufficient if it flowed properly. Then again, we never know what's truly going on, right? In fairness, I need to mention others coming in after us were also confused and not welcomed from the start, so a universal meh. I'd return simply for the delicious cuisine by Chef Zairi, however take note that the ebb and flow of any business is just as important, especially with other $27 burger options out there! Au revoir!

    Breakfast croissant was good but nothing special. Had to pay extra for the egg
    Rebecca T.

    A cute breakfast brunch spot when I walked it. It's located in the 808 plaza along with a bunch of other eateries across from Walmart. I came here to try their burger coz it looked amazing in the photos. I also tried their beignets and the breakfast sandwich. I enjoyed the breakfast sandwich with the flattened croissant. It's your typical breakfast croissant that's on the oily side, nothing exceptional. The much anticipated burger however was too salty for my taste. I had to remove some of the spread as it's just more salt from the salted patty already. The meat quality was decent but honestly when the food was so salty, it wasn't enjoyable at all. The Mille-feuille potato was interesting, but it added a lot of grease to the already greasy burger. I only enjoyed the outer crispy part. The insides tasted just like regular potato. Also, it's definitely not worth $27 for this plate. The beignets looked off. The texture was way too soft. It wasn't worth the calories. Service was prompt and friendly. The ambiance was nice. However, the taste and the value would deter me from coming back.

    Organic from scratch recipes!

    Order any of the french style pastries. They are really good. The COFFEE...soooo good. They serve great coffee!!! Smooth, low acidity, just great on the palate.

    Ham and Cheese Croissant
    Val K.

    I met up with some of girls at this cute little cafe on Sheridan. The Cafe is located in the 808 Center so if you are not familiar with the Center make sure you use the GPS to take you to the parking garage since you have to enter from Sheridan. The set up is very casual and open. It was pretty much packed when we came so service was a little slow and they appeared to need more help. I tried the Ham & Cheese Croissant which was perfect. The croissant was crisp on the outside and soft inside, so buttery and delicious. I also tried my friend's Crepe Forestiere which was even better. That will definitely be my pick next time as it was loaded with arugula and delicious wild mushrooms and cheese. The four of us shared an order of the Beignets with strawberry jam. Wow, I haven't had a perfect warm, crisp, tasty beignet in a while and it was heavenly. I think I would go back and eat the whole order myself next time. We also were treated to the Chef's special baked goods of the day and they were so yummy too. I am looking forward to my next visit!

    Greek omelette with rye toast and jam
    Tina M.

    Came here when we were in town for my baby's 3 month check-up appt. This has been on my go-to list for quite sometime. Parking is challenging, although it is advertised as parking lot, and valet, the valet guy told us it's only valet. They also advertise outside seating. There was a tiny table and 2 small chairs on a small lanai in front of the restaurant right next to the street. I wouldn't really call that outdoor seating. I was expecting a few tables under a nice covered area. Something cute like the cafe. The cafe inside was cute and homey. Food: I wanted something sweet and spicy so I ordered the banana crepes and the Mediterranean omelette. Both were delicious. The banana crepes are a big portion size so they are great for sharing. A little messy too! The omelette was good, it was a decent size and wasn't overstuffed with things, I loved the feta cheese. My hubby ordered the croque monsieur. It had a nice presentation. He enjoyed it and especially liked the mornay sauce. Next time I would like to try their potato Mille-feuille and beignets which is what they are known for. Chef ZZ was friendly and came out to talk to us. We told him we were traveling to Japan and he said he loved it and that we will enjoy all the food! He was very friendly and down to earth.

    Heavenly potatoes.  OMG.

    Just finished an amazing brunch at Farmhouse. Wasn't sure when we pulled into the parking lot. I mean....... We walk around the corner and we were surprised at how small the place was. Maybe 30 seats. But super cute. The server was amazing and very attentive. Started with the beignets and WOW. Got the side chocolate sauce and the jam. Both were outstanding. Melt in your mouth those beignets. Sooooo good! We shared the ham sandwich.....Amazing.......the breakfast sandwich (with candied bacon).....Amazing.....then the potatoes which were off the chart good. Like heaven. Really really good. Had the side house ketchup and the horseradish dipping sauces which were both great. Can't say enough good things about Farmhouse. It was our first time there.......but it wont be our last. Our new favorite place for sure. Limited menu but everything was the bomb.

Had a glass of wine and baby had watered down lemonade. Her drinks were put in plastic cups with covers and those horrible paper straws.

Honey drizzle which wasn't too sweet...or maybe I just ate the parts that didn't have. Baby ate almost 1.5 pieces and even liked the Jalapeno Butter that I just dabbed on her bread. She said wasn't spicy but think she just didn't have enough. - Bone Marrow - lit it on fire to burn off the alcohol. Pretty sure it ddin't get it all so I cut baby off once I realized it. Other than needing some salt, really good. Choke mushrooms on top. One half was scrawny, but hubs had the other half for leftovers and choke marrow. YUM. - Sunchoke and Brussels - YUM. Baby ate some but was not really thrilled about it. I loved it. - Scallop and Mushroom Risotto - YUM. Delish. Baby liked it too. So much leftovers of everything. Realized when we ate it for leftovers it was all pretty oily and needed a pinch of salt. But otherwise great. Staff really nice and helpful. Love that the place is spread out and open.

The smoked octopus was sliced in pieces that were too thick and a little too chewy and the andouille sausage and black pepper overpowered the dish. Ordered the bourbon and bone marrow mostly for the presentation. It was WAAAY too rich and needed more bread to go with it. They should've served it with bread that wasn't buttered because the buttered bread even though tasty by itself was just too rich in combination with all of that bone marrow. The dish needed more balance. The ice cream sundae was unremarkable. Would have preferred it served with a choice of hot fudge or the caramel drizzle and since it was plain vanilla ice cream they could've drizzled a lot more caramel over it. The waitress did bring us more nuts when we asked, but they were busy at the time and she was the only server so it took her a while to get to us, and the ice cream was pretty melted by the time she delivered. We got there when they opened at 5 PM and they had two servers at that time. The place wasn't busy so it seemed like they had enough help for the amount of tables that were being seated. An hour and a half later, though, one server was missing (possibly taking a lunch break) and the only server remaining at several big parties to take care of which slowed down her responsiveness to the other smaller tables like ours. The music playing in the background seemed to fit the environment and was pleasant to listen to. It's a pretty casual atmosphere. The prices for what you get are a bit on the high end. Probably wouldn't go back unless someone else is paying. We didn't feel too bad this time because we had a gift certificate which covered most of our bill. Maybe we were choosing all the wrong items and should have just stuck to ordering meat dishes, which they might be better at making (with a name like Livestock). You'll have to check this place out yourself and see if they do a better job with meat and if the prices for those dishes are more reasonable. I gave this place four stars instead of three because the servers were friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was mostly okay (tasty enough and filling).

We came around 4PM and were surprised it was almost empty (but slowly it did get busier). Our food came with complimentary bread with guava sauce. It was really good! The bread is toasted, crispy, and buttery. Everyone in my party enjoyed it. We did not expect our food items to come in really large portions. I loved the chicken karaage! The batter was light and crispy with great flavors and had a yummy sauce drizzled on top. It also came with a scoop of rice, buttered corn, and Mac salad. Mac salad was delicious! Prime rib sandwich came with salad and au jus sauce and a side of salad. It's good but also very filling. I didn't try the burger or teriyaki chicken but was told both were delicious. After dinner, we ordered a few items from the bakery to eat on the plane. You have to take a number and wait for them to call it. I got 2 kouign Amannn, 2 Dubai coco puff, and half dozen green tea puff. The kouign amann is a circular croissant. I liked that it was soft and flaky and had a sweet, crispy glaze over it. The Dubai coco puff had a strong pistachio crunchy flavor but I thought it was way too sweet for me personally. The Star of the show are the green tea cream puffs! I would come back to just order that! The top filling tasted like a thick creamy brown butter green tea-flavored icing. The filling inside doesn't taste like brown butter and less thick but still really good. Overall, they had really good food and items from the bakery. Highly recommend the infamous green tea cream and chicken karaage dish! Customer service was quick and professional though I felt like our server wasn't that friendly lol.

So I said again 'the time on the door says 10pm' her response was 'oh no that's wrong only the bakery is open till 10' Next day I go back at 9pm. First thing I ask the sever 'what time do you close?' Lo and behold '10pm' Again I never make it a habit but we would have been out of there before the other tabes were done eating. Long day at work and I just needed fuel.

It's one of those spaces where you hope the next place finally sticks. But the food at Scratch Kitchen? Absolutely delicious. The kind of meal where the pictures alone make your mouth water. If "smell‑a‑vision" or "lick‑your‑screen" technology existed, everyone would understand exactly what I mean. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully done, and perfect for a Mother's Day treat. Which is why I can't help but wonder what happened -- like so many restaurants before them in that same location. With food that good, you'd hope they'd be the ones to break the cycle. All in all, I'm grateful I got to enjoy that meal with my daughter. It was memorable, delicious, and one of those small moments you hold onto. Marie

    Stopped by Scratch Kitchen in Honolulu for brunch, and honestly, I'm surprised it wasn't packed. We…read morewent mid-morning on a weekday and the place was nearly empty--not sure if it was just good timing or an underrated gem. Either way, it made for a super relaxed experience with no wait and plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the food. Loved: The street tacos with the tempura shrimp were easily the star of the meal. 100% worth it. Light, crispy shrimp with a flavorful slaw and just the right amount of heat--basically a flavor party in every bite. The burger was another quiet star. Juicy patties, nicely seasoned, and stacked just right. Nothing super flashy, but really satisfying. Definitely a good pick if you're not in the mood for brunchy stuff. The Miss: Tried the French toast and... meh. It looked great on the plate but tasted dry and definitely didn't live up to the level of the other dishes. Might've just been an off day or a matter of personal taste, but I'd skip it next time.

    We have been coming here for years; food is always good, not great…read more We came on a Thursday morning around 9:30 am; and figured we wouldn't have to wait, oh, were we wrong, there were 10 people in front of us. The wait actually wasn't that bad, maybe 15 minutes. It is a typically diner, counter seatings only. The service wasn't great, but not rude; they take your order and they bring you the food; no pleasantries or small talks, I guess they need to turn the tables (counter seats) quickly. We had the loco moco with fried rice and hamburger steak with multi-grain rice and toss salad; they didn't offer a choice of dressing, but the default asian dressing was delicious. The food was good with very big portions; I had a hard time finishing my loco moco. They served it with lots of yummy brown gravy, the way it should be. My wife enjoyed her hamburger steak as well. Oh, don't forget to visit the bakery side after eating; they have many super yummy baked goodies!

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
