Be careful, the cats like to escape the rooms when you're trying to enter/exit! Simple cafe style foods, a few chairs & tables to sit at while watching cats or eating/drinking. If you're prone to scents, I'd suggest you wear a face mask. Plenty of parking, friendly staff.

Both our plates portion sizes were very generous! I got the mango matcha latte, and it was so yummy - the mango syrup complimented the matcha perfectly! The matcha tasted very high quality. However, after I drank it all I realized there was a fly in the drink :( it was really good though. The line was very long (11 people ahead of us), but after putting our names down and looking around the ABC store downstairs, it didn't feel like we waited too long before we were seated! Definitely give this place a try if you're in the Waikīkī area! And make sure to get the purple Okinawa Japanese sweet potatoes!!

The NIU AÇAÍ BOWL has papaya, strawberries, banana, lilikoi butter, coconut mousse, chia seeds, coconut flakes, granola, and honey. It is HEAVENLY. My husband got the Kalua Pork Eggs Benedict, and it was also amazing! The hollandaise with lilikoi butter was a nice touch. Service was very good, and they were quite busy.

A Persian sits on a velvet throne, Feeling more hollow than a sun-bleached bone, He's got the lineage, he's got the fur, But don't you dare expect a purr. [Chorus] Dead inside, dead inside. Every single one of them dead inside. Dead inside, dead inside Every single one of them dead inside [Verse 2] Like a girlfriend after a blowout fight They turn their backs and they dim the light A Scottish Fold with those flattened ears Hasn't felt a feeling in a thousand years (a thousand years) [Chorus] Dead inside, dead inside. Every single one of them dead inside. Dead inside, dead inside Every single one of them dead inside [Verse 3] They avoid your gaze, they look away. No "meow" to greet you, nothing to say. Like a foster kid who's seen too much They flinch away from a human touch. (a human touch) [Verse 4] You wave a feather, you shake a treat They stay cemented to their seat. Maximum effort, zero return- 28 dollars is what they earned.

The space is not large, but very cozy and kid-friendly! There are things for the kids to play with. I love the decor as it pays homage to the history of old Hawaii, including photographs of past establishments. The food is delicious! It's run by Highway Inn, so there is a variety of local-style choices that are sure to satisfy everyone's cravings. My favorite is the beef stew, but they had run out that day we were there. The baked goods are also very good. Overall, a great option, especially while visiting Bishop Museum! Happy Eating!

There is no online ordering, so plan accordingly to beat the lunch rush. The menu is easy to read and has local favorites: lau lau, kalua pork, musubis, and beef stew. There's also coffee and sweets available for purchase. I ordered the weekly special: mochiko chicken and waited on the side. There's a limited number of tables indoors and outdoors. I grabbed a seat inside and saw kids playing in a dress up area. Thought that was a nice touch for making the cafe interactive. I waited about 10-15 minutes for my food. Once your food is ready, the staff will announce your name on the PA system. I picked up my food and dug in. My mochiko chicken plate was piping hot, accompanied by a scoop of white rice and salad with lilikoi dressing. The mochiko chicken tasted fresh and flavorful. One of the best mochiko chickens I've ever had. I normally dislike salad, but the dressing was so ono I finished the whole thing. My plate was $16.99. It's a little pricey, but the food is decent.

The menu boasts unique & well-executed twists on your familiar breakfast items. Their Specials menu also seem to change everyday. I ordered the Breakfast Congee, my boyfriend ordered the Koko Moco, and we had the Strata from their Daily Specials, to share. Breakfast Congee: 9/10. Comforting and yummy. I wasn't expecting that all of the toppings would mix well together and elevate the seemingly simple taste of congee. I could taste a bit of spice due to the chili oil, which added to the combination of many other flavors. I needed something comforting in the morning so it really hit the spot. Koko Moco: pretty good in terms of the taste but the portion was a little smaller than expected, but we had the Strata to share and felt satisfied after having that. Strata: Reading the description on the menu sounded very interesting, but all the ingredients really blended well together! I found myself eating the congee and strata alternately during our meal. Although there was a bit of a wait for the food to arrive (it was a busy Friday morning with a 25-40 minute wait to be seated), the service was great and the staff were attentive to our needs. Ample parking at the Kaimuki Municipal Lot with entrances by 12th Avenue.

Jasmin the owner is so friendly and willing to talk story and recommend items for first timers. All of the art for sale in the cafe is hers as well!

Need more places like this - but I feel like it would be hard to recreate the vibe that Jasmin has created. They have reopened after a month-long closure and will have a grand reopening party at the end of June!

I also appreciated that a drink is included with admission, and they offer treats for purchase so you can get the kitties to come up to you. None of the cats were particularly affectionate during my visit, which is a first for me at a cat cafe...

They offer one free drink and you can buy cat treats if you want to interact with the cats more. All the cats are pretty chill and friendly and they all have super soft fur. The staff is very nice and the cats see well taken care of. They have no touch zones (safe spots) for the cats they can retreat to. And if they are not feeling the vibe I have seen workers take cats to the back to chill in peace. Highly recommend if you are looking to kill some time and pet some fluffy cute cats. You can choose 30 minutes or an hour.
