    Umami Avocado Toast
    Patrick R.

    The perfect place to get a quick breakfast or coffee. The avocado toast with the umami sauce is so amazing, hits just the right spot in the morning. The Acai bowl is one of the best we've had on the island, their base is perfectly sweet and balanced. The service is amazing, very nice people and the ambiance is great too. They always play good music, and have a nice bar to sit on while you enjoy your food and drinks.

    randomly came here on a sunday morning & we tried their avocado toast & acai bowl. it was honestly the best avocado toast i've ever had. it was LOADED. i've never had one with cream cheese before - it was eye opening experience :0 also the sauce on top is apparently unagi sauce like wow innovative and never been done before truly. acai was also the perfect consistency. to top it all off i came with a guy i think is so cute so the entire experience was truly fantastic :3 side note it's located at the bottom of century center building, there is a parking lot for guest parking, but it costs $2 (i think it's free tho when u stay for like 15min or so)

    Avocado cream cheese toast with red peppercorn and umami sauce. Guava Lemonade and recommended coffee by owner.

The staff is very friendly and ready to help with your order. I love the vibes from this place, vibrant colors and very much sun-kissed energy.

    Super late review -…read more I'm sad. I really wanted to love this place but I just couldn't. I don't want to be that person when this place has an overall rating of 4.5 but this is just my honest opinion. I got the blue dream and yes it was very ascetically pleasing, but it was just too icy. Before coming to this place i read a couple of reviews that also said the same thing and i didn't understand what that meant, but now I do. There are a lot of flavorless, just regular, small shards of ice in the bowl. On top of that, the moment I received my bowl, it was already borderline melted. So that got me thinking, how can it be melted and icy at the same time? The only explanation that I can think of is just ice additive/fillers. It's not pure cold acai or whatever is in the bowl you choose, but there's a mixture of ice in it too. Yes I understand, it's Waikiki, everything is more expensive, but the added topping prices on top of the already expensive bowl prices just don't make sense. You want a beautiful looking bowl with a lot of different toppings, yet some toppings can go up to 1 dollar PER topping. I don't know if I've just been spoiled by a couple places in SoCal, but at those places they have unlimited toppings and those bowls are the best that there is. I'm not bringing any bias from other locations, but this is just an honest review based on my experience today.

I've been fortunate…read moreenough to watch legends from the early '90s through today, and every generation has its own "GOATs." That said, I don't care what era we're talking about; Waffle and Berry is the GOAT of breakfast. I actually found myself looking into the kitchen, wondering if my grandma was back there making those incredible homemade grits. Every bite tasted like comfort and home. I had the Shrimp & Grits Bowl, and it was outstanding. And shoutout to the beef sausage... Absolutely delicious! From the moment we arrived before the doors opened until the time we left, the owner and the entire team were outstanding. The hospitality was genuine, the food was exceptional, and they even went out of their way to make the experience extra special for our 2-year-old and our 8-year-old. We're visiting from St. Louis, and this was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you for the amazing food, the warm hospitality, and the memories. We'll definitely be back....before we leave. If you're looking for breakfast, stop comparing stats; this place is the undisputed GOAT.

There's a topping station where you can add toppings like chia seeds and honey to the acai bowl too. It's unlimited! Mr. C, the man that runs the place, is also super kind and welcoming. Whenever I bring a new person, he offers them a sample of the acai so they can try it before deciding what to get. Waffle and berry is in the middle of Waikiki. You'll have to go down some stairs to find it, but it's worth hunting down to try! There's lots of seating available and a turtle in a tank in the store to keep you company while you enjoy your sweet treat.

A great high-protein, lower-carb way to start the day! The salad had a nice variety of colors, textures, and crunch from the pistachios and onions. It also came with a small cup of sweet and savory dressing that tied everything together beautifully. The smoked ahi spread was fresh, flavorful, and not overly fishy. It was served with a slice of freshly toasted garlic bread that was warm, fragrant, and perfectly crisp without being overly toasted. // Wailua Moana Açaí Bowl So refreshing! Easily one of the best açaí bowls we've had. The texture was thick and smooth with a great balance of fresh fruit, crunchy granola, and healthy fats from the nuts. Every bite was delicious. // Matcha We ordered both the regular matcha latte with coconut foam and the strawberry matcha latte. I was so disappointed they no longer offer the lilikoi matcha- I know that flavor combination would've been amazing! Hopefully they bring it back someday. The matcha itself was on the lighter side compared to richer ceremonial matchas, but it was still smooth, well-balanced, and not at all astringent. It paired really well with the oat milk, and both drinks were enjoyable. There was a line out the door during breakfast/brunch hours, which shows just how popular this place is. Despite the crowd, the service was friendly and efficient, and we were able to grab a small table to dine in. It's located on the upper level of the Royal Hawaiian Center, making it a convenient stop while shopping in Waikiki. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu (hoping the lilikoi matcha will make a comeback too)!

The haupia cream top wasn't too thick and mixed well into matcha. It's a light coconut flavor and you're still able to taste the matcha. The original açaí bowl $16 - well worth the money.

It's a little tricky to find, but that seemed to be a theme at this rather poorly labeled mall which had few directories. Eventually we found it, though! It's quite small with only a few tables, but the decor is very cool and Hawaiian inside. The staff were also very friendly and explained different aspects of the various beverage since this was our first time visiting. I had the frozen banana kona mocha which was really pleasant and extremely refreshing on a warm tropical day after strolling around this largely open air mall. The drink was extremely smooth and refreshing, although I will say it was a bit light on the banana flavor but still very good overall! This is a good option to grab a beverage during your Ala Moana shopping trip!
