Absolutely love Rise Cafe. Located in the heart of Kaimuki on 11th Avenue, Rise can also be accessed from the municipal parking lot adjacent to it. What I love: nice selection of coffee, teas, and other drinks which are NOT too sweet. One can always add additional sweetness yet difficult to take away. Love that the food menu offers satisfying "brunchy items" that are both filling yet healthy options. Many are low carb or gluten free options. And when they are not, it is specified on menu. If fried, cooked in healthier oils. Love that the food is deeeeelicious yet guilt free. Space is comfortable with lots of nooks to dine in and not feel crowded. Thank you Dr. Jodi and team for creating this fantastic space and wonderful menu to enjoy..! Thank you JoAnn for introducing me to Rise Cafe! Looking forward to returning and enjoying customer loyalty benefits.
First: I rarely eat healthy. Dr Jodi Nishida (owner, friend, and prior work colleague) has advocated and committed to this education and lifestyle for years! It sounded too hard for me, but I happened to meet a keto cookbook author, Kelly Peterson, who is another friend's colleague, and oh my, I instigated a lunch date to check out Rise Cafe today. The food and beverages we enjoyed were tasty, filling, and fun! I had the brisket with cauliflower rice and bbq drizzle, the brisket was so generous and the yummy cauliflower rice was filling, that I didn't even finish. So no, keto doesn't mean you go hungry. Sharlene had the famous Kamalu Bowl, and Kelly had the Chicken and Chaffles with Matcha Latte. I had the Moketo soda, which was so delightful my friends ordered them for takeout upon our departure. No kidding, I think we have new fans. And, Rise Cafe has entree orders they feature for people like me who rarely cook and thinks this is too hard to do. Just order between Wednesday thru Saturday and pick up to reheat at home. They also have gift cards if you want to encourage others. Jodi has helped countless patients improve their numbers and health, and oh, she has her clinic upstairs too! The decor, the main downstairs dining and quiet dining area upstairs, the layout, the restroom, the menu - all are welcoming and tasteful. You'll have an enjoyable experience, but come early, they close at 3pm. Ample Parking in the lot (no venues here offer validation, but it's so reasonable I've never paid more than $3 when dining at the other restaurants here), or in the two free stalls shared with Subway and others. And, if you're super rushed, you can also Door Dash. Enjoy!
Decor/ vibe/ ambiance from the time you walk in the door to the time you exit it is 10/10. If you want health food. This is the spot. Im a big guy and I came after surfing so this place didn't really fill me up, but that's more of a me problem. Good coffee. Exactly what you'd expect at a cafe. Nice staff. Parking is on par with kaimuki parking. They have stalls, it can be a pain at times, but you can do it.
A friend recommended Rise Cafe so we came this morning for breakfast. Staff was very nice and asked if it was our 1st time there and explained how to order. We ate upstairs and dogs are allowed which is a big plus for us. We had the loco moco, kamalu bowl, roasted macnut late, & raspberry matcha. Food was very good and filling. Loco moco gravy is top notch, hamburger was good and the egg was sunny side up on cauliflower rice. Kamalu bowl is tasty with the different textures. Thick bacon, not too salty, had boiled egg with everything bagel seasoning, creamy avocado, and salsa.
This morning was the first weekend breakfast out in quite awhile. As we Yelped, we decided to take a healthy route to breakfast and chose to take a drive to Kaimuki and give Rise Cafe a try. There was lots of paid parking available. So important to us because fighting for parking can put a big damper on the experience. The ambience of the cafe made me smile as I felt relaxed and welcomed. It was our first time here and the young lady at the register had a beautiful smile and patiently waited for us to make our menu selections while answering our questions. Seating seemed limited until she shared that there is additional seating upstairs and someone would bring our order to us. Nice! We went upstairs and were able to quickly find a table for two. The wait for our order was reasonable and allowed hubby and me to catch up on our schedules for the upcoming week. Our meals were served with a smile. My better half ordered the Brisket Fried Rice and Drip Coffee. I had the Kamala Bowl and Toasty Matcha. We both enjoyed our meals very much. Personally, I love the fact the it filled me without the typical greasy feel and sluggishness that I normally feel after consuming a savory breakfast. This was great healthy food. If you're looking local kanak-attack portions, you will be disappointed. For me, this was perfect "Hachi-Harabu" servings. Filling without over-eating. I actually feel energized instead of sleepy after a weekend breakfast. Will definitely be back with my girlfriends. I'm glad we decided to give Rise Cafe a try.
I'm not Keto but I've been meaning to try this keto cafe for a while. I had a dentist appointment which is in the area so I decided to go to Rise Cafe after. The cafe is small and is located across Daily Whisk Matcha. You can just park in the lot but I had found street parking that day. I was surprised to see the owner, Dr. Jodi, at the front taking orders. She was friendly and personable. I like following her page for keto meal ideas even though I'm not keto, I like to incorporate lower carb meals. I decided to do a to-go order of the Coconut Wireless espresso drink and the breakfast waffle sandwich. I was worried that I wouldn't like the drink because I am iffy about coconut milk but it was actually really good. I got it sweetened with a little honey and it was delicious. The breakfast waffle sandwich was a generous portion of eggs, bacon, cheese between 2 keto waffles. Basically like a keto version of a McGriddle. The waffles didn't taste keto and tasted like regular waffles. Honestly, so good! I could get used to eating like this lol. I'm looking forward to trying her other items on the menu!
Located in Kaimuki, Rise Cafe is a small-ish cafe with two stories of seating. The bottom floor has the kitchen and counter where we ordered. There are also tables and chairs to sit downstairs. After looking at the menu, we decided to get the chicken and chaffles and kamalu bowl. Everything seemed healthy with limits on the carbs and a lack of sugar. We made our order and sat upstairs, which had a couple seating options. The spaces upstairs and downstairs felt clean and simple. There were some decorations but not an overwhelming amount. All of the food we ordered felt filling. The bowls included a variety of foods such as avocados, eggs, and more. The chicken and chaffles were good! The chicken was not oily and did not taste super fried. The chaffles had more of a grainy texture than usual waffles but were still tasty. The chicken and chaffles were about $18, which we felt was a bit pricey. However, we were full by the end of lunch. We are looking forward to going back and trying some new items, such as the loco moco.
Got a high blood sugar? Eat at Rise Cafe! On a low-carb diet? Eat at Rise Cafe! Just want to eat healthier? Eat at Rise Cafe! Rise Cafe located in the Kaimukī, along 11th Ave., right next to Carte Blanche and Subway. There's a couple of dedicated parking spots out front, or in the paid parking lot. This place serves up breakfast items and coffee/tea drinks and follows a Ketogenic diet with its ingredients. Inside is small and cozy with two levels of sitting areas. You just order at the front and they'll bring everything to your table. The Bulletproof Coffee was okay. I would have preferred the butter to be blended in with the coffee and cream instead of on the top. The Americano was good. Solid flavor. Steak and Eggs. Simple. The chimichurri sauce was delicious! Tasty and bright. The steak was a bit overcooked to my medium requested with about half tender, half toothsome. The steak might've sat under cool air because it was not warm when it arrived, and the pieces were mostly room temperature with some chilled cold. Not sure if that is the intention. The eggs, also requested medium, were over easy. The Chicken and Chaffles were very good, especially the chicken! Give me a basket of that! The chicken was so moist, juicy, tender, and flavorful. Nicely battered and fried. The chaffles were more like regular (healthy) waffles than cheesy or eggy. Overall, an all right experience. Enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. Comfortable and cozy. Food and drinks were fine. Maybe some adjustments for my preference. Chicken was amazing though! Service was okay. Can't say it was the most friendly or upbeat. Some coffee spillage on floor and table when arrived, but only wiped the floor.. Not a big deal since we have napkins. Maybe I'll come back to try other things. Rise Cafe is truly a health conscious place with better attention to details that's not just fruits and vegetables.
I initially found out about Rise Cafe from their episode on KHON2 x Living 808. I always appreciate restaurants and establishments that focus on clean eating, especially for me, that hates feeling "sluggish" after eating foods that are made up of a lot of seed oils. Today (July 31, 2026) was my first time ordering food and drinks from here, but for first impressions, 10/10. I ordered a Kamalu Bowl ($16) and a 12 oz. iced roasted mac nut latte ($6.75) For parking, there are a few stalls in front (but are limited) or there is a parking lot behind with fairly low rates. I will be a returning customer as I am a student at UH Manoa, which is not even that far from here :)
Came after early hot yoga and loved the calm vibe, pretty plants, amazing wi-fi speed, good coffee, tasty latte, and satisfying keto breakfast. There are a lot of options right in the area but definitely check this place out. Food is pretty reasonably priced and I like that they are taking a keto route as I try to avoid gluten most days.
Love this place! Just popped in and had the breakfast sandwich and matcha latte. Wow the sandwich exceeded my expectations! Full of flavor and filled me up! Delicious! I try to get a different drink each time I come and it's always so good. I also love looking at the sugar display that shows how much sugar is in the common foods that we tend to eat. Super informative And there's WiFi if you need it. Highly recommend!
The experience was lovely. It's a super cute cafe. The ladies running it were very nice. The food quality was very high. Bacon and egg croffle was tasty. Tried the Mac nut latte, which was good. I prefer a little more espresso but I drank the whole latte. I was stuffed. Will go back again.
I was excited to see a new cafe open up in the neighborhood. It looks very appealing from the outside and seeing the phrase, "food = medicine" in the front window made me even more curious. I was thinking just how good healthy, nutritious food could be. Well, it was excellent! I started off with a hot mocha, which had a light, sweet flavor with a hint of mocha; very nice. It was not as sweet and syrupy as other cafes. Then I had the loco moco, good choice. The wagyu patty was very tasty topped off with an egg and keto gravy. All blended together nicely and very flavorful. Unlike most times I have a loco moco, this one leaves you feeling good and not stuffed. Seeing the healthy make up of this loco moco, I was extremely surprised and happy with how good it was! My son had the chicken and chaffles, which I had to try after tasting my loco moco. It was also very good and something I would have the next time. Overall, a superb breakfast and lunch spot that I would highly recommend. The service was great, the atmosphere very nice and comfortable. Best tasting "medicine" I've ever had!

I dabble in going keto on some days, so when my husband found this spot on Yelp to have brunch at, I was down. We parked in the lot with the meters. We didn't see the back entrance from the parking lot. We ended up walking to the street side and entered through the front. The menu is small which is fine by us so we wouldn't have to mull over it too long. The girl at the counter was very informative and friendly. My husband ordered the steak and eggs with chimichurri sauce and I got the Kamalu Bowl with boiled eggs and bacon over cheesy risotto style cauliflower rice. For drinks I got the roasted macadamia nut latte and my husband got the drip coffee. There's tables downstairs and upstairs. We chose to go upstairs. Our food and drinks were brought upstairs when it was ready. Everything tasted great. We literally mopped our plates with no problem. The cheesy risotto style cauliflower rice is something I would want to make at home next time. Coincidentally, Champ Kaneshiro from The Champ Show Hawaii on YouTube came upstairs to film a segment with the owner around the time we were about to leave. We don't live close to Kaimuki, but next time we're in the area we'll be back. read more

Back again! Thank you Dr. Jodi for the $5 discount. Mom and I tried something new today. She got the Special: Loco Moco with 1 patty and 1 egg on fried rice. I got the Kamalu Bowl (YUM!!). We both got the cappuccino which was so good we got 2 to go on our way out. read more

I ordered the kamalu bowl and the raspberry matcha. I was hearing good things about this place but unfortunately it was a little underwhelming. The food was ok, nothing special but I probably wouldn't pay $15.99 for it again. The matcha did not have any matcha flavor at all. I got my drink with coconut milk and that is all I could taste. The raspberry jam was very sour and the drink as a whole was not sweet enough for my liking. The atmosphere was nice, but unfortunately I will not be coming again. read more

Always delicious keto friendly food. So much to try. I've had the Crustless Quiche in the past and today the Chicken and Chaffles. The chicken oh so tasty, juicy and tender with a delicious coating which will make you hunt down every coating crumb on the plate. I have to come back for the Brisket & Fried 'Rice' in the future. Lots of parking in the lot, cost me $1.50 on a Saturday staying over an hour. If you want free parking there are a few spaces fronting the cafe on 11th Avenue or my favorite is getting a parallel parking space on 10th Avenue next to the park, but don't tell anyone...it's just our secret. Metered street parking is free on Sundays. There are lots of tables and outlets for laptops so get some good food to power your day without the sugar crash of other places with their carby meals. You can also get your food to-go. read more

Came in after a strength training session around 9:20 on a Monday morning. Ambiance was chill, got table and "bar" type seating and more seating upstairs. Drink and food menu not big but gives a variety of items I think anyone would try. I got the iced coconut matcha and chicken and chaffles for takeout. I couldn't decide between that or the quiche or even the steak and eggs. The owner said if I'm looking for protein the chicken and chaffles is better than the quiche since there's protein in both chicken and chaffles. I may have to come back to try other items since it's in my neighborhood. Food and drink came out in a timely manner. Matcha latte with the coconut foam was smooth, can taste the matcha but not bitter. Chicken and chaffles-nice fry on the chicken, it was juicy and a little salty. Chaffles had a slight crisp around the edges I think from the cheese that's mixed in the batter, goes well with their keto syrup. Maybe could have more of the keto syrup on the waffles and maybe as an option to go on the chicken as well. Maybe can offer a a mix& match of food items(in a smaller portion) for like keto "plate lunch" or like a sampler entree? I'll be back to try other items. read more

Super cute new cafe with healthy food and drinks as "prescribed" by the doctorate pharmacist owner. Used to be the old AV (next to Carte Blanche Subway Shokudo) but now much warmer and lovely place to get food and coffee. It's keto because the owner specializes her practice in food as medicine. The service is friendly - literally family and friends working there. They have WiFi so you can linger if need be especially in the quiet area upstairs. Love this addition to Kaimuki - warmer, friendlier and healthier option to the other cafes. Gonna be a regular here for sure. read more

When walking in it was very inviting atmosphere so chill and greeted like you belong. For me I like to eat meat and the hamburger steak was amazing with cauliflower rice and topped off with eggs so ono. Oh ! Don't forget about the latte to wash all that goodness down . The employees had a lot aloha always checking if I needed anything and calling me unko. Only one downside for me is that I live so far but it was worth the drive . Maybe one day they'll open one on the west side . read more

Located on 11th avenue next to Carte Blanc. You have the option of entering from the street side or the paid parking lot side. Small cafe that will deliver more on the health side. Lead by husband and wife team, you get Dr Jodie aka The Keto Prescription who incorporated her expertise into a cafe. One thing that really caught my eye was at the register, there is a small jars filed with sugar. Ever wonder how much refined sugar is that bagel you had for breakfast? Well you would be shocked when you see it visually. Amazing menu that is being developed for the grand opening on June 16. For now during the soft opening I observed so many favorites meals that will inspire me to thinking healthy. I tried the Roasted Macadamia Nut Latte which honestly didn't upset my stomach since I'm lactose intolerant. Full of flavor that I wouldn't have known it was healthier. The steak and eggs looked amazing on the neighboring plate. Based on there face they were satisfied but I'll have to try that on my next visit. For now.... As they prepare for the grand opening, you will just have to take my word for it read more

I stumbled across this newer cafe in Kaimuki. The space gave a calm, coffee shop vibe with cute decor. Staff were friendly and service was quick. I had the Kamalu bowl and a matcha latte with keto syrup and vanilla cold foam. The bowl was very flavorful, portion size was good and I would definitely eat it again. Not a huge fan of matcha but I would order this drink again. read more

Recommended by friends so I wanted to check it out for myself. This cafe had a great, inviting atmosphere. Busy during brunch but I managed to to find seating in the main area. There is additional seating upstairs. The coffee & tea menu was extensive with a few seasonal specials. Yes, they had pumpkin spice for the PSL lovers. They promote a low-carb and gluten-free practice in their dishes and drinks. A plus for anyone who may be health conscious or looking for keto-friendly options. Ordered at cashier; i was recommended the Roasted Mac Nut Latte. My beverage was ready in minutes and my meal available for pickup at counterside moments later, ~10minutes. I ordered the Chicken & Chaffles and it complemented well with my latte. I was shocked how great everything tasted. Chicken was juicy and my waffles were not overly sweet. Some establishments would trade the taste of their food and try to be "healthier". That was not the case here. Enjoyed everything; my stomach was satisfied and I felt light and energized for my run later in the afternoon. I would love to come back to try their other entrées and beverages. Plus they have a rewards program! read more

Took my coworker to get lunch and she's on keto and mentioned this would be the perfect place. Nuzzled in Kaimuki, it was aesthetically pleasing inside with indoor & some outdoor seating. It was a little dark inside for cafe but cute. I got the crust less quiche which was super good, fresh ingredients and flavorful. My coworker got the brisket cauliflower fried rice which was also really yummy, well flavored and a good portion. I got the roasted Mac nut latte which was AMAZING, with coconut flakes & roasted Mac nuts.. different but so delicious. I can't remember which coffee my coworker got but she liked hers too. Everything came out to about $40 which is not bad. The rest of their menu looked unique so I'd defs be back to try other things :) read more

Honestly... BOMB.COM! I came in on a rainy day to kill some time and escape the hurried traffic and sat for a solo lunch. It was a little busy (a good sign), but plenty of seating, quick ordering and great menu. Not only was everything brought out very quickly with a smile from each staff member, but flavor-wise, it hit all the taste buds perfectly. Cappuccino and a Steak and Eggs plate - divine. The eggs and steak were perfectly cooked, buttery, layered with a really delicious chimichurri. Portions were generous and seasoned well. The spot has a quiet ambiance great for computer work (me!), but still an open environment for socializing without feeling like you're on top of one another. 10/10, looking forward to coming back. read more

Tucked into the heart of Kaimukī, Rise Cafe is one of those neighborhood gems you wish you'd found sooner. The atmosphere is warm and casual with just the right amount of charm--it feels like a spot you could settle into for a quiet breakfast, a catch-up coffee date, or even a solo afternoon with your laptop. The menu is creative and comforting, with dishes that feel indulgent but fit perfectly into a low-carb lifestyle. From savory breakfast plates to fresh, hearty bowls, everything tastes homemade with real care. The best part: no hidden sugar bombs. Every bite is satisfying and leaves you feeling good afterward. Their drinks deserve just as much praise. Whether it's a rich cup of coffee, a creamy latte, or something refreshing on the lighter side, you know you're getting a no-sugar treat that doesn't compromise on taste. Service is another standout--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Even when it's busy, the staff keeps things moving without making you feel rushed. Kaimukī has plenty of eateries, but Rise Cafe really stands out--it's a place where healthy meets delicious, and where keto doesn't mean boring. If you're looking for a no-sugar delight, this is the café to visit. Local favorite already read more

Finally got to try this hot new cafe in Kaimuki! Good location and you can enter from the public lot in the back as well! Cute interior and complimentary wifi was a plus! Started off with their popular roasted mac nut latte with coconut milk and enjoyed it! As for the food, we got the chimichurri steak and eggs, chicken and chaffles and crustless quiche. So much flavor and Dr Jodi's chimichurri sauce alone I would come back for! Chicken came out crispy and paired well with the keto friendly "waffles". Food and drinks were great and the staff were attentive and so welcoming. Looking forward to my next visit to try more! read more

I've been there twice (w/friends)since they opened. Wanted my friends to experience having a keto friendly meal. Ordered the chicken and chaffles both times. I've tried making chaffles at home. Mine doesn't taste like Dr. Jodi. My friend enjoyed the Kamalu bowl. Cafe gives a cozy vibe. I'll have to go back and try something else. It's nice I have a place I can eat or order take out knowing it's keto friendly. read more

Went out and about on an early morning and we decided to try this place out. Highly recommended! The food was delicious, hearty and healthy! The layout and cleanliness of the this cafe was great. I loved the fact that it was a little busy, but they had an upstairs area to enjoy your food, as well, where barely anyone was. You do have to go up a flight of stairs, but just let them know and they will bring your food to you! How awesome is that?! Now, back to the food. Wife had the brisket and bacon infused fried rice...which I tried and was delish. I'm a steak and eggs guy and that's what I got and they cooked the steak to perfection. Oh yea...coffee! I had the iced Mac nut latte and the wife had the hot Mac nut latte. Can't go wrong. I have a sweet tooth, so a little more sweetness wouldn't hurt, but I still enjoyed it. Nothing better to combine your coffee first thing in the morning with some good food. Looking forward to going back. Ample parking, just would have to pay and is card only. read more

It was great seeing Dr. Jodi and both she and her staff were very welcoming. I ordered their chicken and chaffed. The chicken was perfectly fried and seasoned. It was tender,juicy, and delicious to say the least. The chaffes are a perfect accompaniment for the chicken. The matcha latte was cool and refreshing. I will definitely be back to explore the different menu items!! read more
