It's a very small place on the third floor but there are a couple of tables on the inside and outside .. you can sit down comfortably and eat .

Parking is super easy with the complimentary structure, and the café is located on the bottom floor alongside other vendors. One thing I immediately appreciated was how well air-conditioned the entire market is--it's nice and cool, which makes sitting and eating there really comfortable. The cashier recommended the turkey pesto croissant, but suggested swapping it onto ciabatta since it's one of her favorites--and I'm so glad I trusted her. It was phenomenal. The flavors were balanced, the bread held everything together perfectly, and it felt like a step above your typical sandwich. I also had what looked like a simple salad, but the vinaigrette and candied pistachios really elevated it and made it feel more thoughtful than expected. The staff across the board were friendly and welcoming, and there's plenty of seating--whether inside the café or out in the open market area. Honestly, the value surprised me the most. I paid under $13 for everything, which is hard to beat for the quality. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

We got a roast beef and a pesto sandwich. -The roast beef sandwich was definitely our favorite. The bread so toasted and also fluffy. The sauce they had on the sandwich was just so terrific and onolicious!! We devoured it so fast, I can't remember what else was in it other than it was so freakin awesome! -The pesto sandwich was good too but definitely not as memorable as the roast beef. I can't remember exactly what type of meat it was (possibly turkey?). The pesto sauce was good and they put pickled onions in this sandwich so so Ono!!!

They don't necessarily have a set menu so your best bet is to check out their Instagram page to see where they will be and what will they be serving. My favorite sandwich thus far is their po'ipu (turkey, sun-dried tomatoes, and pesto). The bread they use is foccacia which will fill you up pretty quickly. And because they usually operate during work day hours, it is best that you just eat half of the sandwich to avoid that afternoon crash. Prices for these sandwiches may be on the higher side but the quality of the food makes up for it. This food truck is definitely worth checking out. Make sure you follow their Instagram account and see where they will end up. Pro tip: turn on that notifications to see where they are and head there before the lunch rush appears.

We tried the kouign amann with the toppings she mentioned as vegan (the butter one is not), and they were pretty good, especially with the cinnamon topping! The young lady at the counter was very helpful and patiently pointed out which things were vegan to us, which I really appreciate. The kouign amann seems like a popular item as we bought the last of them (we had wanted four, but there were only three) and it was still early afternoon. There is a parking garage nearby that allowed for long enough free parking for us to go order and grab our goodies to go. The location itself doesn't have a lot of seating space, so it seems best set up for takeout, but it is a pleasantly bright space and the outdoor seating seems like it would be nice as they're not on a main throughfare. It's far from where my family lives on the island that we stay with when we're visiting, but next time we're near Ala Moana around lunchtime, we'll definitely stop by for some vegan goodies!

Here's a polished Yelp review that keeps your excitement while making it flow a bit better:…read more I'd been wanting to try Bocconcino for the longest time. Like everyone else, I kept seeing their viral Bolognese sandwich all over social media, but I always put it off because I'm not a fan of mortadella. I'm so glad I finally gave them a chance because everything exceeded my expectations. We ordered the Salsiccia & Funghi pizza, Ortolana pizza, Il Calabrese, and the Il Parma sandwich. When I say the Il Parma was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, I mean it. I was literally craving it the next day. The flavors were incredible, and the fresh prosciutto made all the difference. The staff was so friendly and patient, taking the time to answer questions and give great recommendations. While we waited, we got to watch them slice the prosciutto fresh and fire the pizzas in the wood-burning oven, which made the experience even better. They were also running an awesome special: $10 pizza slices that are absolutely massive, plus a complimentary non-alcoholic spritz that was super refreshing. The shop doubles as a little Italian market, and I was already eyeing a rosé balsamic vinegar to take home next time. Parking was easy right in front, and it's located in a very walkable neighborhood. I was honestly ready to come back the very next day, but they're closed on Sundays. Safe to say I'll be back soon to work my way through the rest of the menu.

In addition to food they have a small shop stocked with goodies from Italy, which adds to the charm. The pizza crust was fantastic crispy and delicious. My only complaint is that I wish it had more sauce. I'm a saucy gal! The bite that had a good amount of sauce was incredibly flavorful, but the rest of the slice was a bit dry, and I tasted more oil than tomato sauce. It was great dough but the flavor was not there for me. I really want to love this pizza more! The staff was friendly, though it took a little while to get my slice. They reheat each slice to order, and they were busy making other items, so it was understandable. I'll be back to try a panini!

Follow them on IG to get schedule. Looks like they're gonna have pick ups during the week as well. IG: https://www.instagram.com/batonamanger The bread is made from puff pastry and is very flaky. We tried the Jambon Beurre (ham, cheese, cornichon) for $18 and the Curry Chicken (vadouvan french curry) for $18. I am glad I split with a friend. We both liked the curry chicken more (pickled onions were lovely). Honestly, I would rather buy different flavors and cut them up for pupus vs. having a full one for a meal. But I am glad I tried this place! Their advertising is right. Never had a sandwich like this! Note: It's not a particularly filling sandwich. I found myself hungry again after four hours. Lol. If you wear black clothes, check for puffs of puff pastry on your clothes afterwards. Packaging is gorgeous but was surprised at the plastic. Assuming it is not recyclable.

Nothing like eating huge sandwiches and the best pizza around! Our office orders takeout frequently from little g's and we absolutely love it here! We usually have place our order a few days in advance to secure our order for the day we want. They do run out fast so it is safer to place the order in advance too. You can order online but after a certain amount it requires you to phone in your order. I didn't grab a picture of everyone's food but this was the two sandwiches I got! The chicken parm is incredible stacked with 3-4 pieces of chicken parm and their red sauce with mozzarella served hot. The Italian has three different meat with cheese and lettuce and bell peppers served cold. These were served with a different grained bread which was a lil different than what we are used to but still really great! Service here is always great and food is always mind blowing with their large portions and fresh ingredients!

My husband and I were in the area and decided to try Little G Cafe after seeing all the positive…read moreYelp reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. After looking over the menu options, we stood waiting for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us or took our order. The manager seemed rude and unwelcoming, which immediately set a negative tone for the visit. Looking back we should have trusted our first impression, but we decided to give it a chance and see what the hype was about. We each ordered a slice of pizza and took it outside to eat. After eating , we walked past the glass wall of the cafe and I noticed the manager handling and mixing flour with his bare hands, with the flour mixture covering his hands and forearms. I didn't expect to see food prep without disposable gloves and it made me uncomfortable. The pizza itself didn't make up for the experience. At around $22 per slice, I was expecting something exceptional or life-changing, instead, it was pretty underwhelming. The flavor, texture, and overall quality just didn't justify the premium price. Between the unfriendly service, concerns about food handling, and the disappointing pizza, I don't feel the experience was worth the cost of overpriced slices of pizza and I will not be returning nor will I recommend Little G Cafe to others. There are plenty of other pizza spots in Honolulu, including Boston's Pizza, that offer better value and a much more welcoming atmosphere.
