The Homie and I made sure to stop by after driving around from I-5 South/Hwy 16 and across the Manette Bridge on 1/15/26 to Cafe Kai's new, bigger location. No more drive through window and tiny retail spot. Bremerton's Manette neighborhood has become a destination detour with Saboteur Bakery, Vim & Vigor, and now Cafe Kai! Their new location is located at the corner of 11th and Perry with adjacent street parking. Upon entering, bright interior and sleek, streamlined design. Same welcoming vibe. That day we've been having a progressive eating mindset on our drive from Shoreline, Seattle, Tukwila, and now Bremerton. We had better restraint and bought only two Teriyaki Spam and one Hawaiian Hot Dog musubis, plus a bag of Li Hing gummies. Their menu features several musubis and refreshing beverages. I also enjoyed my brief convo with one of the owners, Jamie Cancel. There's something really welcoming when meeting indie business owners whether from Oahu, Kauai, Maui, the Big Island or on the mainland. It's that genuine sense of ohana or family I've consistently experienced. Musubis were nicely wrapped and piping hot. That day it was sunny and breezy leaving Cafe Kai with the goods. Now if it had been a bit warmer, with sand & surf nearby, wearing Tshirt, shorts, and slippahs with two fisted musubis from Foodland or Pukalani Superette, sigh as I digress in a brief daydream. Delicious ono grindz! Congratulations on the new location and celebrating their ten year milestone this coming summer! Mahalo nui loa!

Both the Long John and Puffer were super old and stale, maybe 1 to 2 days old. Had to toss both of them after one bite. I was told the Gau was made on Tuesday night, which makes it 3 days old now. I even tried putting the items in the microwave (per the owner's advice) for 15 seconds and it still didn't taste good. I've honestly never been told by any bakery to go home and put their donuts and pastries in the microwave ‍ Why would a bakery even sell 1 to 3 day old items? Just donate them to the homeless or something BUT don't sell them for full price to your customers! I mean come on... I even reached out to the owner via Instagram and she came at me with all the excuses saying things like "I am sorry you're not happy with your purchase" and "I really don't know what you would like to do here." No resolution and/or refund was even offered. So disappointed in this place. I really wanted to like it too! Lesson Learned. I will NOT be coming back here.

The adobo and Pancit each came with two scoops of rice each. The adobo is so flavorful and the meat is so tender and delicious. Our Filipino stepfather used to make pork adobo from scratch and wasn't willing to share his family recipe. One bite of Mum's pork adobo, and suddenly your eyes are closing, and you are making mmmm mmmmm mmmm sounds. The sauce is thick savory and comforting. The seasonings used in the pancit was absolutely perfect! We loved the ratio of vegetables and chicken. Lumpia is always a great choice with or without the accompanying sauce. Personally, we like dipping our lumpia in the adobo sauce. The orders were complete. Servings were large. We are looking forward to returning often. One of our other favorite items that we order from Mum's is beef calderetta, another solid comforting choice. Their fish and chips is also yummy and filling. They really take pride in the food they prepare and serve. So if you have a hankering for authentic filipino food, come to Mum's. You won't be disappointed!!
