Tina C.

Cute cafe. Coffee and a croissant were exactly what I was looking for and would def recommend this cafe. Coffee was fresh and croissant was fresh and flaky. Give this place a try. Guy who took our order was friendly and professional.

Food is always great here. Service is on par, it's a little hidden gem on the edge of Waikīkī. The surfers soufflé is mental definitely must try.

Açaí bowl

We are staying at the Double Tree and this cafe is on the lower level. I love açaí bowls and when I saw it's on their menu, I had to give it a try! Good portion and tasted good. My friend got a breakfast burrito with bacon and said it was good as it had a lot in it - potato, bell peppers, onion, and egg. She skipped the cheese. The only thing is it's 50 cents for salsa or sour cream. I will try the breakfast burrito another day with spam!

Attended a class in the hotel and we would stop here for some quick coffee to go. It's a cute little cafe at the bottom of the Outrigger by Alana hotel, their breakfast french toast and burritos and avocado toast looked yummy!

***Located inside the DoubleTree by Hilton*** This cafe was awesome !!!! Straight off the bat ... the owner was sooo hospitable and so helpful in helping me pick ... LOVE LOVE LOVE the uniqueness in their menu ... I enjoy not to have to pick what to put in my drink .. I just want something that is pre done and recommended ... With that said did the coconut mocha and if you enjoy the taste of coconut milk this is your drink ... The surfers soufflé was a take on French toast .. very delicious .... Recommended for sure

Spinach bagel
Dilyara S.

I came here on my way to the airport. Tourist area, hotel building - I wasn't expecting much from this place. I was so wrong! My husband and I had a spinach bagel and breakfast burrito. So delicious! French ingredients, freshly made. Place was clean, friendly staff. Strongly recommend this place!

We tried this café at our hotel on our last day, and honestly, we regret not stopping by sooner. Everything we tried was really good, but the smoothies were definitely the highlight. You could taste how fresh the ingredients were, and they were easily some of the best smoothies we've had. The staff was also very friendly, welcoming, and in great spirits.

Summit Acai Bowl (gluten free)

Fabulous gluten free açai bowl. The server subbed the granola for sliced almonds. Highly recommend!

Egg and Cheese Breakfast sandwich

Came here for breakfast before heading out of town. Very welcoming staff. Helpful with choosing menu items. Decor is pleasant. Food was delicious!

We've explored so many spots in HNL over the decades of loving the area. One particular restaurant that we have come back to year after year is Hiking Hawaii Cafe. Its close walking distance proximity to the Hilton Hawaiian Village is so convenient for a great meal away from the resort. One of the big reasons we have loved Hiking Hawaii is its wide variety of offerings for all tastes and appetites. From bowls to pizza to wraps and salads, HH has got you covered. Every single item that we've tried has been so reliably delicious. My kids particularly love the bagel sandwiches and other breakfast offerings. And one of the most amazing breakfast items is the Surfer's Souffle. This is like french toast on steroids! It is simply amazing and a must try. And let's not forget that HH also excels at smoothies and a whole variety of hot & cold drinks. I personally love the Mexican Hot Choco Latte! All of the tasty goodness offered by HH is further complemented by truly amazing hospitality from the owner Matt down to all of his staff. We simply feel so welcomed at Hiking Hawaii Cafe. And because of this, we will always be coming back here!

Green bowl and Summit bowl

My fellow Vegan Yelpers... UPDATE!!! Whomever said there are Vegan options, probably meant Vegetarian, because other than the acai bowls and smothies, there was nothing offered or suggestions given for vegan offerings. They can definitely help you with hiking information... but we we really wanted some ono vegan food... at least the refreshing vegan-friendly acai bows and great granola were available... on the pricy side though! Afterwards, we went looking for something warm and savory!

Look how thick that bread is!!
Marcy C.

Holy moly! The Surfers Soufflé was freaking amazing. Hands down the best meal of our vacation. Only wish we would have discovered it sooner so we could have dined there more than once.

chicken wrap and avocado toast

Hiking Hawaii Cafe is housed inside the Doubletree Waikiki and was a fantastic resource for us during our four-day stay in Honolulu. We have a family member with celiac disease, and the menu has a good selection of safe options, while the staff were incredibly sensitive and careful. Over the course of the week, she ate avocado toast, a toasted chicken sandwich, pizza, and more. The rest of the family was delighted with the menu, too. We loved everything about this place.

This place can be for any occasion whether for a date night or a hangout with friends. The place can be kinda small so big groups might have some difficulty, but they do have a private room upstairs if you want to inquire. The round table also isn't the greatest for sharing multiple plates so eat accordingly So far my must orders have been the Basil Caesar Salad with Crispy Chicken (this is coming from a salad non-enthusiast), the Fete spread and Steak Tartare (especially with their anchovy buttered toast - chefs kiss!), the Crispy Potatoes, and their Roasted Carrots (which apparently is off-menu). I typically love most of their pasta dishes but the last time I had their Carbonara, it was pretty salty... but nonetheless, good vibes all around!

I was staaaarving so for me and baby I ordered: - Cornbread - I love their cornbread. This was my fave of all the dishes we had. - Bone Marrow - This was probably the biggest marrow I've had anywhere. Like choke marrow. Awesome. Alcohol didn't light on the whole plate so only had little bit and baby couldn't have any. Think no bourbon next time. Just sprinkle some salt and it would be perf. - Chopped - All kine goodies in this salad but the dressing was very "nothing." I added some garlic salt when I ate the leftovers and it kicked it up a notch. - Chicken Pappardelle - The pasta was terrible. So thick and doughy. Took away from the chicken which was okay. Ended up dumping the leftover pasta...which was pretty much the whole thing. - Oxtail Mac & Cheese - This was more like an Oxtail Helper (like Hamburger Helper). Very not cheesey. Baby ate some but think she wanted more cheese. Tasted better the next day. Friends had the Prime. The temp on each was given to the wrong person, which needed to be right since 1 person didn't get the roasted pot. The medium-rare one was cold. Like COLD. Strange. Overall think they fell a little short on the food. Some things GREAT, some thing the opposite, so balanced out. Will I go back? Of course, but now I know what not to get.

The tables are usually taken so I just take my drink to go. I ordered a strawberry matcha drink on my first visit and a French Toast latte on my second visit. The second time I went, they didn't know how to make my drink so the girl had to read the ingredients that were listed on their own menu posted on the counter for customers. Maybe hardly anyone orders it or she was new and learning? It did take a while for me to get my coffee. The waiting area is quite small so there wasn't much room for me to go anywhere. Overall, the drinks have been good with a variety of seasonal drinks and specials as well. I'll probably return for my coffee fix as it seems to be one of the few coffee shops in the area open on Sundays. Happy Drinking!

They serve Lion's coffee and yes, I did have a lot of coffee which was promptly refilled. My wife and I like the open air kitchen and the place is clean and perfect for breakfast. Although there are a lot of people, you don't feel crowded. Their loco moco is among the best, if not the best in Honolulu. Their corned beef hash is really good and I'd like to go back and get these with a couple of eggs the next time. I finally got to taste the famous jelly and found it not as sweet as you might think, which is great! The jelly paired with the butter rolls were so good! Overall, VERY IMPRESSIVE and it would have gotten 5 stars if the place wasn't so hot. Although I was seated underneath an AC, it was still very warm. Fix that and it's easily 5 stars. It's already 5 stars for the food, just need to fix that one issue to get 5 stars for the rest!

But there's a difference between overpriced and just plain getting ripped off... I really wish we took a picture of our meal but it was early morning and we have a 5 month old now for this trip so it didn't cross my mind to. We order a chicken and waffle, with a side of Portuguese sausage. We've been to Liliha Bakery a few times so the portions have always been pretty big and shareable. Man, let me describe the sad piece of meal and experience we received. It was a thin maybe quarter-itch waffle with a 4 piece nugget size mediocre fried chicken in the center (think little Chick-fil-A nugget pieces). Topped with 2 strawberries sliced in quarters around. Pathetic meal for $22 you would mistake for a kid's menu item. Top that with the NINE DOLLAR side of Portuguese sausage that was a sad, small snack size amount, truly should cost $4 at most for this add-on. To add insult to injury, we were also looking forward to those little biscuits and jelly they serve before your meal and we were told those are only served if we ordered rice dishes and $22 entree doesn't quality - how does that even make any sense?? We left paying $45 dollars for a kids meal and left to get food to fill us somewhere else. I get Hawaii is expensive once you're here, but this was just robbery. We liked Liliha bakery; but after this visit, we'll never be returning here again

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.
