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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

Green bowl and Summit bowl
Fed U.

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!

Surfer's Soufflé French Toast
Robert R.

I first stopped in here earlier on my vacation to grab a coffee after my morning workout and fell in love with the coffee it was delicious and affordable. Today we came in to try their breakfast and it was so worth it. The service is super friendly (except for not giving me the French Toast Recipe ). I love the casual vibe of taking it easy. I'm going to miss this small slice of heaven tucked downstairs from the Double Tree).

Hand comparison of the generous amount of granola they give with the acai bowl!

I've tried quite a few different pastas, so I'm probably a little picky when it comes to them. For me, the price also felt a little high for what we got. The highlight for me was definitely dessert! I ordered Dorie Greenspan's Chocolate Cake with ice cream. The sauce contained alcohol, so I asked for it on the side, which they were happy to do. I ended up enjoying the chocolate cake with the ice cream, and it was really good. My husband ordered the Rocky Road, which I know is a popular dessert there, but we both thought it was just okay. The restaurant itself is really cute and had a great atmosphere. It was pretty busy when we went, which definitely gave it a lively feel. Overall, I'm glad I got to try Fête, but based on the pastas and desserts I've had elsewhere, it wasn't a personal favorite. The chocolate cake was definitely the standout for me!

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!

It's the table and space is very spacious that you don't have be afraid of been squished with other people. Besides that, they have a pretty good selection too! Price is reasonable with the portion of the food is serve. Miso Butter Fish 5/5: I will never be tried of eating & ordering the miso butter fish. It's definitely one of the best butter fish in a non-Japanese restaurant. It's buttery, with the perfect level of the miso flavor that's not salty or blend/no miso flavor. The fish it's cooked into perfection that's not overcooked. Although it's pricery compare to other dishes, but it's worth it; especially the butter fish is a pretty big size that comes w/ salad and rice. Grilled Garlic Chicken 4.5/5: The garlic chicken is not the same as a regular garlic chicken that you get from a barbecue restaurant; it doesn't have that barbecue sauce flavor. However, it's still taste pretty good. The garlic flavor is there, but not so strong that over power the taste of the chicken. More importantly, chicken is not overcooked as some restaurants can overcook the chicken. However, it comes w/ gravy on top of the chicken. If you eat it w/ the gravy, you probably will it be able to taste the garlic. Mac Nut Waffard 4.5/5 This is not the regular waffles. This "waffard" it's the Mac nut waffle that comes with their iconic custard, fruits and whipped cream. The waffle is super soft & fluffy with a crispy outside edges. Also, the waffle is not mushy, rather, it has a slightly mochi/chewy texture. The waffle is also not over sweet that actually can be pair with their famous custard fillings. Pancakes 5/5 I normally not a pancake person because I am afraid that it can be over sweet or very bland that has no taste but a flour flavor. But I fall in love with the pancake at first try because it's soooo fluffy and soft! More importantly, it's not sweet that actually can be paired with syrup and butter. However, it's also not bland that can be just eaten by itself without syrup or butter. Hands down on it! Plus, the size of the pancake is actually pretty big.

(I find that hard to believe) Food and service was pretty good, although it would have been nice to have all our meals at one time rather than watching my daughter have almost all her food finished before we even received ours. So we just watched her eat. I think we'll just stick to picking up pastries and bringing them home.

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.
