Food - 4/5 We ordered the chicken pesto sandwich and the falafel salad, both were pretty good. The salad came with hummus, 2 pieces of bread that was really hard, like croutons, and turmeric (?) dressing. Service - 5/5 Good service! Ambiance - 4/5 Chill cafe with a few tables inside and outside. read more

First time at this location. Parking sucks... this one way loop around the building situation that they have going on here is cumbersome. As for the service and food, I think it's a bit pricey. The meatball banh mi tasted mushy this go around. I usually love this banh mi but this location had it too mushy. The fries were hot and delicious. It's all ala crate here so the total came out to be about $25 for a sandwich and fries and drink. read more

Stopped in thinking this location would have some of the vegan items the Kakaako location would have, but apparently not, so we weren't able to eat here as we had my vegan parents with me. The location seemed alright, although it was a little dark inside perhaps in contrast to how sunny it was outdoors, and the seating seemed like it was a bit crowded. This location has convenient parking, as well. The workers were also reasonably polite when telling us they didn't have any vegan items at this location, which I appreciate. It is odd to me that the locations don't have the same things on offer, but I am glad the Kakaako location has vegan items, so at least we can go there. read more

Always da friendliest service, great selection of the freshest baked goods. Delicious sweet treats that delight your deepest desires for that special chocolate covered or cream filled bun, cake or tart. Organic French Rolls that make the perfect sandwich! Always my second stop after browsing next door at the 5-11 shop that has the ultimate ambiance of special travel clothing. Four Fabulous Stars for Quality, Freshness, Friendly Aloha and that fresh taste of oven ready bread. read more

Embarrassing, I reviewed the wrong restaurant, Tous Les Jours. La Tour Cafe on the Nimitz is the correct one. On one of our trips to Hawaii we tried the pastries at Tous Les Jours. The Apple Pie Kouign-amnan is one of the better ones we have tasted. The other kouign-amnans are good but nowhere near the Apple Kouign-Amman. We tried the Apple Pie, mochi and crème brûlée ones but the Apple Pie was the best. It has a good amount of apple topping, little crispy too, soft on the inside and chewy. An excellent kouign-amman and a very good price point. B Patisserie inside the Kona Coffee Purveyor shop in the International Marketplace has pretty good kouign-ammans but at a very high price point. La Tour Cafe isn't in a convenient location but worth a trip to pick-up some pastries for a few days. We didn't buy any sandwiches this trip but we did try a meatless meatball sandwich on a prior trip. The sandwiches are worth a try too. read more

I visited La Tour Cafe to pick up lunch during the week since I was in the area. I got the LTC Club for take out. The staff were friendly and service was quick. The flavor of the sandwich was great, but some of the pieces of chicken in the sandwich were pretty dry. They have a parking lot for all the businesses in the building, but keep in mind that the parking stalls are marked for the business. The parking lot gets a little crowded during the lunch and dinner times. Overall, I thought the food was okay and might return to try something else on their menu. read more

Review is for the Large Strawberry Melon Mint Julep and macaron deal for $10.99 and the Mishap Macarons deal. Ever since Yelp Elite All Star buddy Donna O. introduced me to the mint julep drink here at La Tour Cafe... well I've been a fan. Now there's a new twist called the Strawberry Melon Mint Julep drink. The La Tour Cafe Strawberry Melon Mint Julep is made with watermelon syrup, strawberry puree, mint water, and a splash of lychee lemonade, and is served over crushed ice. It's a bit on the sweet side for me, so I mix in seltzer water. Very refreshing on a warm day. The combo includes a macaron. I ordered the chocolate haupia but I was given just the haupia one. Correction: I did receive the haupia chocolate macaron. My mistake! When I bit into it, I saw and tasted the chocolate! It was not visible from the outside! My bad. After my order, I observed a sign for Misfit Macarons at 6 for $12 plus tax. It's a blind box, so you don't get to choose your flavors. Cute promotion so I fell for it! FYI, this is a no cash business. Credit card only. read more

Cute little cafe with a variety of desserts and sandwiches. I went with the Chicken Pesto panini ($15) which was toasted perfectly. Simple but delicious. I'd definitely come back and try some other sandwiches on the menu. Service was fast as well. read more

The one star was for the poor customer service. The female was very rude and unfriendly. It seemed like she didn't want to be there. Too bad as the food/drinks are really good there but with customer service like this, it just creates a bad picture for the business. read more

This place is so cute and has so many cute parties. I wanted to try the food as well. The food was ok but I would try something else the next time. Just order at the counter and there are some seats inside to eat. The service was good. I got the La Tour smash burger which was ok. My husband got the bahn mi which was good but wished the bread was a little more crispy. I would come back again for macarons and to try some other things another time. read more

There are many positives to this restaurant but also negatives. There is great free ample parking. Convenient place to eat after shopping at Best Buy or Home Depot. There is a special deal where if u buy a drink then u can get a macaroon for $2. The cashier forgot and I would have been overcharged if I did not double check the display. The restroom was really dirty with discarded paper towels/toilet paper on thewindows. It seemed the bathroom was not cleaned for days. The food was delicious and there are many tables and chairs by the window. read more

I like La Tour Cafe but this isn't my favorite location. When I was in college, I'd eat the paninis on campus, and after college, I'd still eat the paninis at the other locations! Living here, I felt like this La Tour always lacked with their food. I didn't try their food this time, but Donna O. was so kind taking my Dad and me! This La Tour is spacious with lots of seating for pairs and small groups. You can order at the front where they also have a display case of their well-known macarons. You can get your food after being called. Service is fine, not much contact aside from offering with workers. I've tried many things at La Tour Cafe. My heart has a soft spot for their paninis but I've always enjoyed their macarons and other pastries in the past. This time around, my friend treated us to the Mint Water! I've always seen her drink it and was curious and I can see why she loves it, it's so refreshing! La Tour Cafe is a well-known local chain around the island. Thank you Donna O. for the drink and for reliving my nostalgia haha. This is one of their bigger locations off Nimitz with free parking in the lot. read more

I've been here a few times but I always forget to snap a picture because the food is too good to wait! I've tried their hamburgers, salads, macaroons, caramel brûlée puffs...just about everything and it's never a miss. I actually don't really like macaroons either but theirs are SO FLIPPING AMAZING! And the bread on the "pho"ggie just makes the whole sandwich. The garlic fries are GARLICKY. I love it all! Sometimes the ordering staff isn't the friendliest, but never rude. There's usually seating at the tables, it's a comfortable environment, and we can always find a nearby parking. I am ALWAYS down to visit this place and will forever be a return customer. read more

Service is good however soup was way too hot! I know it's a strange complaint but the temperature should be lowered. Love the mint water!

I recently re-discovered this eating place and will definitely be coming here more often to grab take-home meals. It's very good especially their salads, banh mi sandwiches, and the kouign-amnan! I fell in love with the creme brûlée kouign amnan! It's that good! I guess their flavorful and colorful macaroons are popular. It's on my must-try list. However, the dine-in section at this location is not very warm & inviting. The parking situation is also a bit odd, one way only and you will have to drive all around in the back of the building (passing the shipping entrances, bins of all the businesses) to get to the front. They have other locations which I want to check out in the future. read more

The Kouign Amanns here are so delicious and their teriyaki burger is worth the drive for every time we visit the island! Plenty of seating and very chill vibe at this location. read more

Definitely was NOT expecting the flavor coming from the sandwiches!! Outside, there was a flyer advertising the Char Siu BLT and it sounded unique, so we ordered that along with the BBQ Brisket Bahn Mi paired with the Lychee Lemonade and a Crème Brûlée Kougin for dessert . With zero expectations, the flavor of the sandwiches alone are enough for us to make a second trip. Walking in, we walked up to the counter and were warmly greeted. There's plenty of seating for a single person or a group of people. There wasn't any music playing in the seating area, but there was some pouring through the kitchen opening. That coupled with the awesome energy the staff give off, it's good vibes coming in here. If youre looking for some quick, flavorful eats, this is your place! read more

I met up with Janey since she left her bag in my car and I suggested we go eat. Not wanting to have to deal with parking, we decided to check out La Tour since she had had a almond croissant from them in the past. Well, the baked goods are a few doors down, and they only sell that krugen something. So we just ordered lunch. I got the brisket smashburger and she got the veggie burger. Both were very good but it was the garlic fries that were amaaaaaaazing! Nice and crispy and chunks of garlic. I also ordered the cheesy mac n cheese which was ok. Again, those fries were sooooo good! I also had the La Tour iced coffee which was excellent! A lot of people coming in and getting food to go. Parking is easy which is always great! Mahalo La tour! read more

This review is only based on their macrons. We got the 12 set of macarons and chose a couple of different flavors. We went with the cotton candy, chocolate, Lilikoi, birthday cake, and blueberry. Their macarons are great because the inside cream isn't as sweet as some can be. There is enough sweetness in just macaron themselves. My favorite flavors are the cotton candy and the Lilikoi. Always a great place to pick up a set of treats to share with anyone! read more

We haven't been here in awhile. La Tour Cafe on Nimitz is a bit out of the way for me. There are a bunch of parking stalls, but of course during meal times, it can get crowded. This parking lot is pretty horrible, since it's one way, but at least it's free. Their food is always pretty great, though. On this particular day, the fries were not as crispy and hot as we're used to. And the mac and cheese was, dare I say, too cheesy? It was definitely entering a level of gloppiness. But the pork belly banh mi on special was on point! We asked and they weren't sure how long it would be the special, but if it's still there, get it! So juicy, the bread was nice and fresh, and the fresh and pickled veg just balance everything out. read more

We ordered the soup of the day which is tomato bisque. It was diluted like school lunch. I want to send it back but don't think a better version will be available.

Not greeted with any type of smile or welcome, it felt like it was an imposition to be at the counter trying to order food. Ordered the French dip and panini, didn't realize that it was just the sandwiches and no fries or salad. The French dip sandwich ala carte was $19, and the chicken panini was $14.50. Came out quickly but French dip and au jus were lacking in flavor and panini was soggy. With drinks, paid $43.42 for this sad lunch. Will not be returning read more

Parking can get pretty crowded because of all the other businesses in the area. But the mint water is what I usually come for because it's so refreshing and I can't leave without a macaroon. I've tried all the flavors and they don't disappoint. La tour café probably has the best macaroons I've ever had. I also tried the wagyu melt oh my goodness that is so good so creamy with some spiciness from the jalapenos and so flavorful it is pretty small for the price you pay and it doesn't even come with fries or chips or anything so I think they should do something about that . The prices here are already really high and most of the time you don't get what you pay for because the portions are pretty small. I'd come here more often if they had better deals and lower prices, but I do come here to treat myself. There is plenty of seating inside it can get pretty busy, but the turnout is pretty quick. The service in the front is always fast and they have always been so nice overall such a great cafe! read more

Very pleasantly surprised by this spot. Come for the macaroons, stay for the food! Both were excellent!! Doesn't seem overtly spectacular, just another strip all lunch or dinner spot, but man! This was such a good surprise! We recommend to anyone going to this island! read more

Located off Nimitz Highway on the right side heading Ewa next to Lowe's. Went there for lunch I had the single bacon burger with jalapeño which was good and we shared the garlic fries and regular fries which was tasty and different, because they use fresh potatoes with the skin on. The macaroons were very good especially the Lilikoi, the cookies and cream were hard to tell the flavor still going through the different assortment of flavors. They run about $3.00 each. Restroom was clean and the dinning area was also clean and well maintained. read more

Been coming to La Tour since I could drive myself to it. I'm an adult with adult money and no one can stop me....and you can also grab lunch/dinner here. I'm really grateful that the food and macarons are still consistently served well. My favorites are still the melts, garlic fries, and chicken tenders. And whether I order it in-person or delivery the food is still hot and great to eat. The dine-in area hasn't changed in a long time and I can't complain about that. It's still a great spot for studying, dining, meetings, and anything in between. If it's not broken, don't fix it! And the same goes for the business. Nothing is broken so no need to fix it! Well, actually just hope they add their planted menu items soon! Would love to have access to that different menu since the only planted menu is only available in one location. read more

One of my favorite, locally owned eateries to chow down some ono, healthy grinds!

Came here with my family in Fall 2025 on my way to the airport. Not a particularly notable meal. I got a bahn mi and nibbled on it on my way to the airport, but it was nothing exciting. The service was super slow between the ordering and waiting, I was getting nervous I wouldn't be able to catch my flight out. Everything was pretty pricey. For the quality of the food and speed there's just other things in the area I'd opt for next time. read more

Service was not just bad, but very bad. I stopped in to look at their pastry in the late afternoon. It wasn't busy and I'm not familiar with the items in the glass case. I asked the person at the register which is located next to the pastry case what an item was and got an answer. She immediately went back to her register. But there were other pastry that I wanted identified because the name labels were wrong. She ignored me but I asked again for id help. She ignored me again, then a male came around to help then he immediately disappeared. I then ordered 3 pastries and left. What can be done? 1) Make sure the pastry labels are correct since you have them or remove them if you're not bothering to make sure they are correct. 2) If no one is interested in making pastry sales, don't bother selling them. 3) Service your customers, make them feel valued. I guess they don't value customers. read more

I recently visited La Tour Cafe for lunch. I've been on a few other occasions, but I sometimes forget they are in this little shopping center. Let's be honest, I only pass by this way when I'm on my way to Costco, so I'm on a mission and don't have time to stop to eat. This last time though, my aunty said she wanted a sandwich so I suggested La Tour. I like the sandwiches here and it always smells like fresh baked bread, which I think adds to the experience of eating a sandwich. I had the pesto sandwich and even though it's kind of a simple panini, it was still delicious. They have some fountain drinks too that are unique, but I stick to getting the Vietnamese iced coffee. The inside is kind of dark, but there are several tables and it's clean. The high ceilings make it feel large. You can also buy goodies like cookies and macarons. You can also buy loaves of bread. I know some people who come by La Tour for bread instead of buying the same thing from Costco because they think it's fresher. Idk. read more

It's been a couple of years since I've been back on island and had to stop in when driving by. Really wanted some coffee. Parking flow changed, surprised myself by going down a one-way that didn't used to exist and had to turn around and go around the back of the building. Looks very different inside, I didn't recognize the menu at all, and there's far less coffee options than I remembered; definitely nothing I was looking for. Since I was there I got an "apple pie". I thought they did kouign-amann and was hoping it was similar. Wasn't that excited about it and wasn't hungry so didn't touch it till the next morning. Oh my. It's crunchy. The right sweetness. And the mix in the middle is... definitely apple pie. It's basically a kouign-amann apple pie. Delicious! This alone is worth the hassle and the 5 stars. read more

It was a perfect way to satisfy your sweet cravings. I love the cookies and cream flavor the best. The pistachio needs more pistachios flavor. I have mine plated on a styrofoam because I didn't realize I had to buy a minimum of 6 to have it in a box. Something to consider if you want to make sure it doesn't break.
