I didn't have to wait long since it wasn't crowded. If I was hungry, I would've picked up a pastry. The staff working were efficient, but not overly friendly. But that iced latte was the pick me up I needed. If you're in the area shopping, this is definitely a great place to stop by. Mahalo L'Ami!

You really get that warm, spiced cookie butter flavor in every sip--dessert in drink form The texture was smooth and satisfying, and everything tasted well-balanced, not artificial or heavy.

Drive into the Calvary church parking lot and you will see their Cafe. The Acai bowl was absolutely delicious. There's plenty of bananas, blueberries, and strawberries on the top with granola and macadamia nuts. I've never had mac nuts in my acai but they were yummy!. The size is perfect and well enough to fill you up. They also have a large size that you can probably half with someone. It's huge. I had my first one on Tuesday, went again on Friday. After the first try, I couldn't resist and had to go again. I'd totally recommend. Cost for regular size was $10 and the large was $15. BTW - they also have lots of fresh fruit cups, smoothies, sandwiches,... I also heard they have dinners on certain nights too.

I loved: - the easy parking - convenient location (I may have bought the birthday gifts right before at Pearlridge!) - how this is a non-profit that supports people with disabilities and sweet animals - snuggling with the adorable puppies outside available for adoption (I was so tempted!) My daughter loved: - feeding cats - playing with cats I was a little worried because she had a bad experience at a puppy cafe in Japan, but the kittens seemed well behaved. We got to enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches and and apple juice, and some outside food like pizza, because we were celebrating a birthday party. We'd love to come back and play with the animals again!

The space is thoughtfully separated into two rooms: one for little kittens and one for the adult cats, which I really appreciated. You're free to wander back and forth between rooms, so it feels relaxed and never rushed. Your visit comes with a small treat for you and a variety of cat toys to choose from! The cats are adoptable, which I thought was such a kind and humane touch. It's clear they genuinely care about finding these cats loving homes. Just a friendly heads-up: scratches can happen. Pretty sure the owner does their best to keep those tiny murder mittens trimmed, but cats will be cats. If you do leave with a few battle scars like I did, they've got you covered with bandaids and lint rollers too, because the cat hair is inevitable. Overall, this place is cozy, thoughtful, and incredibly cute!! Such a lovely experience!! I'd absolutely come back again!!

Had to meet a friend at the driving range, so I decided to try this place. I ordered a mini s&p…read morepork chop and chicken cake noodle. The area was tidy, but the tables were not clean to the touch. It was kind of gross. After ordering, I received a hand written number on a reused piece of paper. My order took over 20 minutes, which seemed a bit long for the type of food being served. I noticed there were a lot of people picking up food, as it was dinner time. It would have been nice to be told the wait is a little long right now, but that wasn't the reason for my poor review. The pork chops (mini) is 4 pc, with one scoop of rice and mac salad. The taste was average, it was served hot. The chicken cake noodle was a disaster. It was so bad, I threw it away. There was no taste, and the noodles were soggy because a gel of flavorless mucus was soaking the noodles. The chicken didn't taste like it was even seasoned with the basic salt and pepper. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, but their taste was ruined by the gross flavorless "gravy." The food looked great, but I was only able to eat the pork chop plate. I don't like to waste food, but I also won't force myself to eat terrible food... and the chicken cake noodle was terrible.

Great little spot with amazingly service…read more It made me so happy to see a giant red cup for my soda instead of somebody coming out with a cup of ice in a can. Thank you for having fountain drinks. I hate to go on about it, but it's annoying when people have cans and they charge you like four bucks. The big red cup is enough to satisfy thirsty folks like me. A little 12 ounce can is not. So let's see, we got the special which was a French toast. I got to say, giant portions and everything was real tasty. That's actually something that should be called on. The prices is very good for the amount of food you get. I was very happy with this place overall with that. My kid got the ube pancake which she was really happy about it because it's basically like having a slice of cake because it's so big and deliciously sweet I got the sampler cause I couldn't decide but in retrospect, I probably would have gotten the seafood Benedict. Because that was really my favorite of the sampler the Moko was great, but Benedict was amazing. I'm always a little hesitant on reviews for places when a vacationing because there's a bit of a bias, but this place will definitely worth it. I would check it out if I was looking for a fun place to go for breakfast

Although it was a 25 minute drive, we would probably wait that much anyways waiting for someone to acknowledge us over at Eggs N Things. Anyways the minute we walked we were greeted right away by a server and told us we can sit in any of the open tables. Servers were friendly and very attentive. We ordered the Da Local Omelette, the Longsilog and I had the ube mascarpone with french toast. Everything was delicious! I didnt get to taste the omelette since my daughter devoured it within a few minutes. I'm taking that as a sign that it was good. I was able to taste the longsilog with the fried rice and it was tasty as well. I might have to tey that next time. The Ube Mascarpone did not disappoint. Very creamy and the right amount of sweetness. Although I coulndt finish it, I did finish the rest when I got home. And while we were eating I noticed that place got full and busy right away. A family came in and a server approcahed them and told them they might have to wait for a few minutes since all the table were full. And guess what? Since the family's presence was acknowledged, the family actually waited outside. See that eggs n things? People actually wait as long as you acknowledge them! Anyways , we have a new place to bring friends to that are visiting Hawaii. Food is delicious, warm ambiance and friendly staff! This place is highly recommended!

Call me boring but I was expecting the usual yellow-orange color. The drinks were also quite sweet, and I don't remember they ask me about sugar level. The boba was okay. Nothing terrible, but not the freshest. I had higher expectations, so the experience ended up feeling a bit mediocre.

Staff were super friendly and the restaurant / bar was very clean! We just wanted a light lunch / pupu style, so we got the sizzling steak, fried noodles and chicken wings. Wings were good. Fried noodles a really good comfort food! And the sizzling steak was awesome!! We'll be back to try other options and for drinks! PLUS, they are open until 2pm!

We will definitely be back! About a month ago a friend and…read moreI decided we wanted to drink and karaoke and we chose this place because we heard that they had really good food. We were not disappointed, but that is not why I would definitely be back. Let me give a little background. We are only supposed to be there from 5 to 9 at the latest. Initially, it was quiet people were watching TV and there was literal families. They're having dinner. We quietly drank, ordered our food and flipped through the karaoke book for when we were enough intoxicated to start singing. Keep in mind everyone was still eating. My friend, who is a fantastic singer, finally put in a song and out of the corner of the room all we heard was "Oo. Are we singing now?" or something to that effect. After my friend broke the ice and sang the first song it was all singing from that point forward. The songs arranged from country to old 80s love songs to whatever, and they were being sung by people from all over the room. Couple tables turned over while we were there, despite that if a good song came on, people were singing from their seats and it was not an issue to anybody. By the 10 o'clock hour, my friend was singing duets with a guy. She's never met before, but who could sing and the whole bar was just on such a positive vibe. Food was great. The wait help is fantastic. We ended up staying till midnight. Closing the bar down. It was such an intimate and welcoming vibe that we will definitely be visiting again.
