    Secret Spot Honolulu was within a five minute walking distance from the hotel I was staying at. Didn't get a chance to try the breakfast or dinner but I did get to try the latte -- definitely one of the best that I've had. Affordably priced and good latte! Staff were very friendly and kind; lovely experience. Very trendy and chill ambience. Looking forward to trying breakfast next time along with my latte! ***** SECRET SPOT HONOLULU ***** FIVE STARS

    They had all these cool arts all around the cafe.It was very beautiful

    I came to this place for breakfast and also at night for live music and cocktails. Let's start with breakfast, I ordered morning feast which came with salad, eggs, bacon, sausage, toasts and fruit. It tasted healthy but i believe it was a bit overpriced. Service was great and employees are very attentive. They have very cozy interior with small stage. I found out that the have live band at night so I have decided to come back again at night. I ordered old fashioned and it was very good. I also got complimentary popcorn. Music was great, food was good. Will be back.

    Came in looking for a cafe offering seating to do some computer work from. Found it, and it also came with friendly service, and a happy hour that starts at noon. Win win win ***Fun fact, they have live music nightly 9pm. What did Eat? Pizza and Tai combo on day 1. The pizza could've had a better bite to the crust. Priced at $12 during happy hour. 3/5 stars Ham and Cheese Croissant with side salad on Day 2. The croissant itself was a little small and on the soft side. Didn't feel very fresh. Edible but could be improved. 3/5 Day 3 and 4 stuck to Happy Hour: Grey Goose and Tonic For $5 a glass, you can't beat that. 5/5 stars Food and Beverage aside, Secret Spot is also home to a great collection of art and collectibles. I'm told that most of what's on display is from the personal collection of one of the owners. Tristan Eaton, OG Slick and Dalek are just a few names a recognize and personally collect. I should also mention, they have shop merch that's fly, not your typical coffee shop merch. Overall for me, Secret Spot felt like a little piece of home away from home. I will definitely be coming back whenever I'm on the island. Shout out to the daytime crew i had the pleasure of meeting. They stay on task but still keep a chill and down to earth vibe. Shout out to Dev and Nessa for the hospitality while i was hanging out. Keep up the good vibes Secret Spot crew! Till next time!

    Morning feast with two extra eggs
    Ayro P.

    Not really sure if I would come here again, especially with other options in the area. Food was decent, but not enough to justify the price. First, don't miss the entrance. This is probably why it has its name, but you just need to go up a mini flight of stairs to the right of some escalators. I took the escalators, which goes completely past the floor this place is on, so I ended up taking the elevator back down. Hopefully nobody noticed the unnecessary loop I made. Upon walking in, I was greeted by one of the ladies by the bar, who let me know I could sit anywhere since it was just me. There was some seating I noticed towards the back where it looks like it's meant for live entertainment, but I decided to sit outside at one of the tables up against the sidewalk since it was a nice day. The menu was the design on the table, which I thought was a neat idea, but not really ideal when I have to crank my neck just to see it properly. I had just worked out, so decided to get the Morning Feast over the Avocado Toast since it seemed like more protein, and even added extra eggs despite the price of the add-on. It didn't take very long to come out, but for some reason I was expecting bigger items. The eggs tasted fine, and were cooked exactly as I had asked, over easy. Salad lacked much depth, but the dressing, I think balsamic, did save it a little bit. Sausage was delicious, but I wish there was more that came with the plate. And the toast was just toast. Nothing exciting about it. I used it to clean up the yolk from my eggs to give it some purpose besides just providing carbs. My bill after a 20% tip came out to ~$36.00. For a meal that requires minimal skill to assemble, I thought this was just ridiculous, but makes sense considering it's in the tourist area. Also, it takes a lot for me not to tip 20%, but the service wasn't anything I would consider amazing, especially considering some of the service I've had during my trip. Nonetheless, this place met my minimum requirements. I'm just really having a hard time justifying the price with the food.

    Margaritas
    Meggie T.

    Had a great time at Secret Spot! Music, happy hour, and bites with friends makes it the place to be for a vacation. .Guava margaritas were so tasty! .Mai Tais are a must because of course Hawaii Staff is friendly! Restrooms are not inside the place but are just down the hall

    Guava waffle

    Service was great! No issues there. The ambiance and decor was nice. Food was okay. Not impressed with the avocado toast. Tasted like the avocado was from the Costco spread containers instead of fresh avocados. The guava sauce was yummy, not too sweet. The waffle was just okay, a bit dense for my taste. Not a memorable meal but passes due to location and convenience.

    Solid happy hour from noon until 7:00. Decent drink specials. Lots of live music. Service is lacking in speed but makes up for it in friendliness. It's odd - to open a tab, they require ID and credit card, which they hold on to. We didn't eat here, but the food looked really good from the tables around us.

    Complimentary popcorn snack mix fun people
    Melissa B.

    Fantastic happy hour spot. Great drink and food specials, super friendly service, and they even bring out complimentary popcorn snack mix, which makes it feel extra welcoming right away. It's shady, breezy, and so relaxing... the kind of place you can actually unwind. It's cheaper than shopping and way more fun.

    Let me tell you about my experience at this wonderful place!!! We got dropped off by our Uber and right away, the name of the restaurant caught our eye. As soon as we walked in, I instantly fell in love with the vibe. The lighting, the decorations, the bar area... everything was such a whole mood. We were greeted by the bartender, who let us know happy hour was ending in two minutes and we made it just in time! We ordered the $5 mai tais (we got four of them) and the $5 pizza. Such a good deal, especially since the pizza is normally $15. The menu also looked like it had a lot of great options, so I definitely want to come back and try more. What really impressed me was how much there was to look at inside. The merch was gorgeous and the whole place felt like walking through an art museum -- every corner had something unique and fabulous. It's seriously so Instagram-worthy and selfie-worthy. While we were sitting down, one of the associates even stopped by and offered us free popcorn, which was such a sweet touch. I also noticed there were a few three-legged dogs just chilling and vibing together, which was honestly the cutest sight. There's also a nice little area where you can hang out and listen to live music apparently there's a band every night at 9 PM. I'll definitely be back again soon. Happy hour was such a bang for your buck, especially for Waikiki! And to top off the night, right when we got dropped off, a man handed us some leis and told us "God bless," which was such a kind and wholesome way to start the evening. I loved everything about this place and will definitely be back!

    $10 breakfast special
    Andrea V.

    This was definitely a hidden gem. We stumbled upon this place while looking for a breakfast place our kids would enjoy. I saw a sign that said $10 breakfast and I was sold. The host/servers were super friendly and seated us right away. We were surrounded by cool art and a DJ that brought the vibe to another level. The DJ's set was absolutely amazing and he played some good old songs from the early 2000's that took us back. The food came out quick and did not disappoint. Everything was delicious, fresh, and tasted good. The drinks were tasty and had a good amount of alcohol. The prices were very reasonable and my kids loved their food, which was a plus. Overall great place and a must try!

    Great HH deals
    Rachel L.

    Literally one of my top spots in Waikiki! They have live music every night. Great happy hour deals for both food and drinks. The tourists and locals love it. You get a great vibe all times of the day here with great friendly aloha service.

    Breakfast special "Morning Feast"
    May T.

    Came for a quick breakfast. Cute restaurant with nice setup of tables and chairs outside patio area. We ordered their Morning Feast that came with bacon, 2-eggs, sausages, salads, white bread toasted, and orange slices. Not bad of a taste. American breakfast with a cup of Cappuccino in the morning. Good service and friendly waiters. Everything was served warmed and received our order in timely manner. Enjoyable breakfast while watching people go by on the street.

    Do they allow babies or children?

    Yes children are allowed

    How much does parking cost?

    I don't think they have their own parking. One suggestion is to check rates at the nearby International Marketplace parking lot. Another would be to utilize rideshare or public transportation.

    Best place to park?

SERVICE: friendly INTERIOR: modern, chic yet laid back EXTERIOR: on the rooftop at The LAYLOW, good amount of seating WAIT TIME: less than 10 mins to grab a drink at the bar, got seated in the dining area maybe an hour after we arrived (did not have reservations) PARKING: got dropped off OVERALL COMMENTS: always wanted to come here n' finally after how many years made my way on a Saturday night. Entered the elevator n' saw their July music calendar posted, which was great bc I wanted to be in a music setting. They have live music n' a DJ on the weekends. Couldn't decide on a drink so the bartender asked what I liked n' my go-to request is for "fruity, strong, n' sweet." It turned out creamy n' good. The pupus we ordered to snack on were delicious, would definitely order them again. Atmosphere was nice n' casual. Drinks were good, food was great, n' the beats the night I went was my kine of music!

    Stressful from the start…read more I called to inquire about parking a week prior to my rsv and was told they were sold out for the night. I mentioned that it was just a general question and i wasn't coming that night. They informed me that it's validated for two hours and it's first come first serve. After the 2 hours its $14 an hour. Getting into the valet area was stressful enough as there was a car parked right before you turn and pedestrians that walk back and forth from their main driveway entrance. I also had to wait for valet for a bit too as there was 2 other cars in front of me and probably only 2 valet on duty trying to move cars forward. Reservations can be made on open table, but there was really no point to doing that since it's open seating during happy hour times. We ended up just picking a table that was in the shade, and noticed they only have their menu by QR code which is kinda annoying. The server was pretty nice tho and he brought my dog some water mid way. Their happy hour runs from 2-6 and the menu is slightly less expensive. The food was kind of standard hotel type of food and nothing really stood out. Otherwise the vibes at the restaurant was nice and i do like that they allow dogs to join you. it seems like they have live music after a certain time. I was even more annoyed and stressed with the valet when i went to pick up my car. They literally just handed me my keys. My car was parked along the wall probably 20 steps away, but they could have at least taken out my car cause it was so hard to get out, but i guess it's nice they trust that i wont bang the car in front of back of me i guess even tho im a pretty terrible parker. at the time they didn't look as busy as when i first arrived, so i dont know why they couldn't have just done the bare minimum with just pulling out my car from the stall.

    Sadly I hoped I could give it a better review but since moving from the downtown venue to Waikiki I…read morejust couldn't. Located in a hotel called The Romer on Nāhua Street in Waikiki off of Kuhio (closer to Ala Wai Canal) it is a smallish unpretentious looking building on Diamond Head side of Nahua. They have valet stand in front and validate parking for up to 3 hours. The valet wasn't very friendly when we walked towards him and usually they hold the door open but this one did not. We realize he's probably not part of Lei Stand staff but it doesn't make a good first impression. Walk into the lobby and directly to your left is the Lei Stand. It is brightly neon but dark if that makes sense, and very small. If you're a fan of when it used to be on Bethel St downtown then you'll be disappointed with this venue. No view to be had, dark drapes cover the windows (we were there at 6:00 pm) and no cute little lanai or garden. Tiny tables either high tops or rounds - maybe 10 total and a small bar. There was one tiny corner booth. The lost star was for this set up but also another lost star for NO MUSIC. Music is such an important part of a place especially a bar so we were disappointed and appalled there was only silence. Bartender said the music was "broken" so we turned on our phones to get something on our table. Then two girls brought in something to light the place up with some tunes so that helped. The final lost star was it is called The Lei Stand yet there wasn't a lei stand inside the place. When we asked the bartender where it was he didn't even know what a lei was. Then we explained to him and he said it is in the hotel lobby but you have to go to front desk to let them know you wish to purchase one. Another disappointment. Thank goodness I bought her a lei from downtown in case they didn't have any. The good stars ... Star 1 goes to the drink menu and how delicious they tasted. "Rub up on my belly" was beautifully prepared and so delicious I had to have another one lol I mean how could I refuse a second guava jam infused Tito's vodka??? Bartender prepared with cute little garnish and an ice stick to keep it cold! He was very nice and took good care of us. My friend opted for the "Clifton's Curse" - yes there's a back story to this drink- and enjoyed the cognac, absinthe, bitters and sherry concoction! Ono! Star 2 goes to the food or "nibbles" as they call it. Taro chips and crack dip were yum and a nice handful of chips not too much and not too little. Hurricane fries - to die for! Plenty of furikake, parmigiano reggiano and spicy aioli. The girls who brought our food were very nice and made sure we had what we needed to enjoy, bringing us waters too. They also had a smash burger for $25 but we had dinner rez later so didn't want to indulge but it looked good. It might be cute if you wanted to do a private party here and I noticed a room across with a beautiful large table set up for a private dinner - not sure if part of hotel or bar.

The martini did not have all the razzmatazz shown in the menu picture, and tasted like key lime pie, which is fine, but there was nary a hint of coconut.
